Chapter 129 Fake Jin's True Son 16
Chapter 129 Fake Jin's True Son 16
The two people in the cave regained some consciousness, and their faces turned red when they realized the situation on both sides.
Especially when Qi Xuanyi was holding a girl who was half a head taller than him in his arms, her delicate skin was left with the marks of what had just happened.
Princess Huimin shyly avoided his gaze, and her usually arrogant and calm expression could no longer be maintained.
"Miss Yunying, I am 16 years old, unmarried, and have no concubines."
After hearing what he said, I didn't know how to respond. He seemed very sincere and was willing to take responsibility and marry her. I felt very happy.
"I am three years older than you," Princess Huimin did not hide it from him.
“I don’t mind that.”
Qi Xuanyi tried hard to calm the effects of the medicine in his body, stood up, put on his clothes, and put clothes on Princess Huimin to cover the marks on her body.
"I found my wife"
Not far down the slope, Ye Yihua saw his wife being carried to the grass by the guards.
He walked up quickly and took her hand to check if she was injured.
"General, the lady was hidden by the young master and was not injured."
"A team found the killer's body not far ahead. After checking, it was found that he had bitten his tongue to commit suicide."
When General Ye heard the guards' report, he asked them to continue patrolling for the young master's whereabouts, and picked up the lady and sent her to the found carriage to rest.
Princess Huimin, who was in the cave, heard a small whistle coming from outside and recognized it was the secret guard beside her.
Qi Xuanyi who was standing next to him also heard the noise.
"Xiao Qi, come here," Princess Huimin spoke in front of him.
Xiao Qi's figure instantly appeared in the cave.
"The prince's men and the general's mansion will be here soon." The implication was that the two should pack up quickly.
"Yunying...are you Princess Huimin?"
"Hui Min is my title, and Yunying is my maiden name." Princess Hui Min laughed at his dull expression.
Qi Xuanyi had only heard Qi Weipu talk about the names and positions of ministers, and also about the relationships with royal relatives and nobles. He knew there was a person named Princess Huimin, who had been in mourning for her mother's death for three years, which delayed her marriage. She was also old, and the old prince was preparing to choose a son-in-law.
"Will your father agree with us being together?" Qi Xuanyi was a little worried that his status was not worthy of her. After all, they had already had physical contact, which damaged her reputation.
"Father will definitely agree." Princess Huimin is very opinionated and no one dares to make decisions for her.
There were sounds of footsteps in the cave, and the originally small space was instantly crowded with people.
"My daughter," the old prince noticed that his daughter's clothes were a little messy.
"Did this kid bully you?" Feeling something was wrong, the old prince shifted his gaze to Qi Xuanyi next to him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Qi Xuanyi bowed his head guiltily.
"Xuanyi, are you in there?" Ye Yihua shouted at the crowd inside from outside the cave.
"Dad, I'm fine"
The princess asked everyone to leave the cave and let General Ye in.
"You...what's going on with you guys?" Ye Yihua walked into the cave and found that the two people present were in disheveled clothes. An experienced person could see that there was something ambiguous between them.
"We were attacked by assassins and poisoned by gas"
"Dad, I want to marry her," Qi Xuanyi explained to his father in a low voice. In the short time they had spent together, he had developed a fondness for this girl, who had a cheerful and opinionated personality.
"I don't agree." The old prince heard it with sharp ears, and was very disappointed with his daughter for being bewitched by the pretty boy.
"As long as the emperor's uncle agrees, it's fine." Princess Huimin ignored the old man.
Ye Yihua knew that the emperor was not confident about the marriage between military commanders and civil officials, and that it would be extremely difficult for the Ye family to transform. The eldest son had already embarked on this path, and the Ye family could not help him, so he could only rely on himself to fight. If the younger son married a royal princess, the emperor would also be confident about them.
"Let's go back and make an appointment to discuss it," Ye Yihua persuaded.
The group returned to the capital, but Lord Lu, the Minister of Justice, did not leave. He was in high spirits and was investigating the origins of the killer.
"Waste...all waste!" Chen Jiaojiao angrily threw everything in the bedroom to the ground.
Looking at the contents of the letter in my hand, I felt hatred in my heart and thought that they were so lucky.
Chen Jiaojiao lived in the Chen family, but was not treated as the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Madam Chen disliked her and never missed a day to pay her respects. If she was late, she would be punished to kneel. The other sisters were all gloating over her misfortune, and her younger sister, who was born a concubine, was even more envious of her. After all, she had enjoyed a life of luxury for more than ten years, while she had to make a living under her legitimate mother and was short of food and clothing every day.
Chen Jiaojiao used the gold and silver jewelry she got in the general's mansion to hire a killer from a secret building she accidentally knew about to kill Qi Xuanyi. She hated the other party so much because he had taken away all her status and favor.
Qi Xuanyi followed Ye Yihua back to the general's mansion. Not long after they returned home, Qi Wei woke up.
"Xuan Yi, don't scare your mother." She threw herself on him and scolded him that he should have run away first and ignored her.
"Mom, it's okay now, don't worry." He held her arm and sat down on the couch.
The father and son talked about the situation at that time in a few words.
"Then I have to formally send a letter to the palace." Qi Wei was very optimistic about Princess Huimin. Although she was three years older than his son, her status was suitable.
On the other side, in the east city, close to the imperial palace, all the royal relatives and nobles lived here.
In the pavilion of the palace garden.
"Daughter, are you sure it's him?" The prince asked without giving up.
“Confirmation and certainty”
"Maybe in a few months you'll have a grandchild."
Princess Huimin's expression was different from usual. She had put aside her airs and was joking with her father.
When the old prince heard what she said, he jumped up in fright.
"You little brat, if I had known I would have killed him that day"
"The general is here, you are not allowed to make things difficult for him." Princess Huimin wanted to establish a relationship as soon as possible so that they could meet sooner.
"Alas, I raised you in vain, and now you are following those wild men outside." The old prince looked at her pitifully with his eyes slanted.
Mrs. Ye from the General's Mansion brought official matchmakers to the Prince's Mansion to propose marriage. The Prince's Mansion did not make it difficult and confirmed the next six rituals.
Imperial Palace Study Room
The emperor was reviewing a memorial and looking through its contents. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, put the memorial down and motioned for the eunuch beside him to bring him a cup of tea.
"Bring me a blank imperial edict."
The chief eunuch brought the imperial edict and spread it out in front of the emperor.
The emperor picked up the brush beside him, dipped it in ink, and wrote the words "granting marriage" on the imperial edict.
The emperor felt more at ease with the marriage between the General's Mansion and Princess Huimin. He was no longer afraid that the civil and military ministers would unite and form a new force.
He also liked this niece on weekdays, and by the way, he gave her an imperial decree to grant her marriage, which made them even happier.
"Send this imperial decree and prepare ten sets of dowry from my private storehouse and send them to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
There were many young talents in the capital, and they were all extremely disappointed.
"Mr. Li, you should just give up."
"Since the princess already has a lover, I should not get entangled with her," Li Lun pretended to speak to his friends around him.
But privately he was furious, and resented Qi Xuanyi for snatching away his opportunity.
