In the palace.
Yan Xiu originally planned to go to Yan Xing's wedding banquet at night. He had even drafted the imperial edict to make Zhu Siyi the princess, but he didn't expect that the tearful King Yan was waiting for him.
"I sincerely ask your Majesty to make the decision for Prince Yan's Mansion!"
King Yan told Yan Xiu the story of Yan Xing's refusal to marry him today.
Yan Xiu stared at the imperial edict on the table and fell into deep thought. After a while, he stamped it with his jade seal and handed it to King Yan:
"This is the wedding gift I prepared for my cousin. Now that there are such changes, King Yan should take it back to the palace to appease his cousin."
King Yan took the imperial edict and took a look. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiu actually made Zhu Siyi the princess. Today should have been a happy event.
But now that this happy event has happened alone, Prince Yan's palace will be plunged into more trouble.
He could even imagine how much criticism he would face after walking out of the palace with the imperial edict. The legitimate daughter of Prince Yan's palace failed to get married, but instead entered the palace aggressively, asking for compensation from Yan Xiu.
"Please, Your Majesty, be faithful in rewards and punishments, and don't let this old minister's heart be chilled."
Yan Xiu: "Don't worry, Prince Yan, I have always been fair, and I will give an explanation to Prince Yan's palace for this matter."
King Yan accepted the imperial edict and was unwilling to leave.
Before he could send someone to invite Yan Xing into the palace, Yan Xing himself entered the palace wearing the white clothes he wore today to plead guilty.
Yan Xiu looked down at him indifferently: "Prince Yi, how can you tolerate such a trivial matter in the matter of marriage? Do you know how many people in the court will be interested in you once this matter comes out? Where do you put the royal family's face?"
Yan Xing calmly explained: "What I did today was an act of much thought. I have failed Miss Zhu, and I have no face to face Prince Yan's Mansion again in this life. I know that I have no words to express, so please forgive me."
Yan Xiu: "Condemned? The marriage between you and Zhu Siyi was not planned by me for you two. Secondly, I never issued a decree to marry you two. If you were the first to resist today, If I chop off your head, you won’t be wronged at all.”
"Now that the matter is over, I ask you one last time, do you really not want to marry her?"
Yan Xing: "I have made up my mind and will never dare to joke about this matter."
Yan Xiu: "Just now, King Yan has already preceded you to the palace to report, asking me to punish you severely and give an explanation to Prince Yan's Mansion. In this case, you don't have to go to the Ministry of Punishment, and you don't have to come to court in the future, so as to avoid having to deal with Yan. The king bows his head but doesn’t see him, but raises his head to see you.”
Yan Xing kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiu could use this incident to dismiss him so easily, and even not allow him to enter the court again. In the eyes of outsiders, maybe he was too gainful.
But Yan Xing had no regrets at all. In this life, he avenged the humiliation Zhu Sijia suffered as a newlywed in his previous life.
If he redeems his past life sins one by one, will Scarlett forgive him?
…
In Prince Yan's palace, Zhu Siyi sat alone in front of an empty window and wept. She had not changed out of the wedding dress passed down today, but her head of pearls and green hair was already in a mess just like her makeup.
Zhang Yin took Yan Xiu's imperial edict to make her the princess and knocked on Zhu Siyi's door.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Siyi learned that Yan Xiu had made her the princess, she was still upset and directly used scissors to make scratches on the imperial edict:
"Who wants to be the princess? Whoever wants to be the princess should be the princess! What does cousin mean by sending me here at this moment? Are you just making fun of me?"
"It must be Zhu Sijia, it must be Zhu Sijia...she saw it today. She must have deliberately humiliated me by running back to the palace to give her cousin a pillow blow!"
After pretending to be calm in front of outsiders for so long during the day, in the dead of night, when Zhang Yin was the only one left in the room, Zhu Siyi's emotions suddenly exploded at this moment.
She smashed everything she saw, and everything she passed was a mess, and she even almost hit Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin was naturally distressed when she saw her daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower, going crazy like this: "Nanny, you've done enough damage and it's time to get rid of your anger. The top priority is how to protect your reputation."
"Reputation?" Zhu Siyi pointed at herself, "How can I have a reputation? If someone else could not stand the shame today, he would have hanged himself! But I was able to sit in the room for so long. My mother thought that I For a trivial reputation?"
Zhu Siyi finally calmed down, stepped on the debris on the ground with her bare feet, ran to Zhang Yin and hugged her:
"Mother...Yuanzhi, he really doesn't want me anymore."
Fortunately, she had no intention of committing suicide. Zhang Yin felt relieved and comforted her in a low voice: "Our Siyi is a great beauty and a talented woman. It's okay if he doesn't marry a powerless prince."
"Today your father told me that His Majesty was so angry that he ordered King Yi never to go to court. Even his errands in the Ministry of Punishments were taken over by His Majesty."
When Zhu Siyi heard this, she forgot to cry. She asked Zhang Yin: "Do you really mean what your mother said?"
Zhang Yin: "Of course it's true. You are His Majesty's cousin after all, and King Yi is His Majesty's sibling, but His Majesty still favors you at this time. You should understand that not everyone in the world can bully you."
Zhu Siyi held the cut imperial edict and said excitedly: "It's not too late, right?"
Zhang Yin: "What's too late or too late?"
Zhu Siyi: "Of course it's about me entering the palace and becoming the Queen of Qin! I'm still young, so what if I enter the palace when I'm older?"
Zhang Yin couldn't help but worry about her spirit: "Isn't it as easy as you think to enter the palace? Besides, Nannan, haven't you always wanted to find a husband who will treat you wholeheartedly? Your Majesty already has eight women in his palace."
Zhu Siyi smiled sinisterly: "Does mother really think that I like Yan Xing to the core? If he hadn't been Zhu Sijia's previous proposed marriage partner, I wouldn't have even looked at such a weak and boring person."
"Growing up, I have always believed that what others have is the best, so I want to snatch everything away. I admit that I do have a crush on that idiot Yan Xing, but I can deceive people with just a few fingers. , will never be worth anything.”
Zhang Yin was shocked by her thoughts, and even suspected that Zhu Siyi was too sad and confused.
But Zhu Siyi's expression didn't look like he was joking with her.
Zhu Siyi got into Zhang Yin's arms and said bitterly: "Mother, I really want to understand today. As a woman, leaving her future in the hands of a man is the most ridiculous thing in the world."
"My aunt is still in the palace, and she still has her place. It is not difficult to get me into the palace. I also heard that Zhang Wanyao is as stupid as a pig, and my aunt can't teach her. How can she compete with Zhu Sijia for favor? But I don't Same, I was raised by my aunt, and I can best cater to my aunt's wishes."
"I want to be a queen who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. I want to be the most noble woman in Da Qin."
Zhang Yinwei said: "If you think about this matter carefully, mother will always agree with you. It's just that you are extremely tired today. It's better to rest in the house for a few days and think about it thoroughly. How about I go to the palace to see your aunt again?"
