"His Majesty!"
"Prince Fu's side princess has been chosen!"
"My lords, colleagues, and gentlemen, today, on behalf of Prince Fu, I would like to announce to you the candidate for the concubine next to Prince Fu."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials, Confucian scholars and disciples who were just about to leave stopped and listened curiously.
Prince Fu is the younger brother of the current emperor, Prince Dafeng, with a respected position and close connections with many civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
When I found out that she was the candidate for King Fu's concubine, I wanted to listen to everything she said to find out whose girl was so lucky.
But when An Yun heard this, her face changed drastically. An Zhiyi's pretty face was also pale, her eyes were red, her red lips were pursed tightly, and her jade green-white fingers were clenched together tightly, even if her nails penetrated into the flesh, they would not Self-aware.
Mr. Yan glanced at Li Yi provocatively, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Fu and Miss An Zhiyi of the An family are in love, and they have made an engagement. They will get married in the capital in the near future."
"Prince Fu also wants to invite His Majesty to be present at that time. He really hopes to get His Majesty's blessing."
"And from now on, we will open a free-flowing banquet in the largest restaurant in the capital. Anyone can come."
Mr. Yan's words undoubtedly detonated the whole audience.
Everyone present was shocked beyond measure, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
What was surprising was not the flowing water mat, but the engagement between the two.
"How can this be!"
"Miss An Zhiyi and Prince Fu have made an engagement?"
"When did it happen? Why didn't any news come out?"
"Who says it's not the case? The key is that Prince Fu is far away in the southwest and Miss An Zhiyi has been in the capital. The two of them can't fight each other?"
"Don't you know? Didn't you notice that An Yun, the head of the An family, came to the capital? Queen Mother Zheng, Queen Mother of Fortune, also came to the capital in person. Elders from both families are here. It seems that it is just for this matter!"
"..."
There was a lot of heated discussion around.
Both families are incredibly expensive!
One family is the younger brother of the current emperor, the blessed king of the Dafeng Dynasty, relatives of the emperor, and the other is the An family of the Confucian and Taoist family at that time. An Zhiyi has the reputation of Mr. Dafeng, a beauty on the red sleeve list, both of them are nine-day stars, Extremely noble.
Many great scholars looked at An Yun, the head of the An family, and wanted to send their blessings.
But the strange thing is that both the person involved, An Zhiyi, and the head of the An family, An Yun, look ugly.
There were also hundreds of civil and military officials throughout the dynasty, all of whom had their eyes widened and were horrified.
Especially Li Yi's closest officials, Sun Tingzong, Cao Qingyan, Cao Fengyang, and Wei Ziya, they all knew about the relationship between the emperor and An Zhiyi, and they were all frightened.
No, An Zhiyi is not His Majesty’s woman. Why is she suddenly his sister-in-law?
What exactly is going on?
They are engaged, what will your Majesty do?
Suddenly, they reacted in an instant, and their scalps were numb and their backs were sweating.
With His Majesty's character, how could he let it go when his beloved woman was robbed?
Sure enough, after a brief moment of surprise, Li Yi suddenly reacted, his face suddenly sank, and veins popped up on his forehead.
What a courage!
How dare you touch my woman?
Even though he and An Zhiyi have not yet committed a relationship, she is already his destined woman.
Prince Fu is far away in the southwest, how can he be related to An Zhiyi, and how can An Zhiyi marry Prince Fu casually?
There must be a conspiracy here!
Must have!
"Son of a bitch, did you eat shit? What are you farting here?"
Li Yi took a step forward and walked down from the stage in a hurry. He looked like an ancient ferocious beast, with overwhelming arrogance and bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Li Yi's anger, Mr. Yan not only showed no fear, but was secretly proud. He immediately handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is a fact. I am just delivering a message for Prince Fu."
"Your Majesty, didn't you know beforehand that it was my fault that I forgot to report it to Your Majesty?"
"Then Miss An... no, she should be called Prince Fu's side concubine now. Didn't Prince Fu's side concubine tell His Majesty in advance?"
"This matter is too sudden. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the people in Anjia. They are also at the scene."
"Today's sudden report to Your Majesty is also the intention of the An family. I feel that this matter should not be delayed too much and it would be better to get married as soon as possible."
Everyone looked at An Zhiyi and An Yun from all directions, making the uncle and nephew feel a little uncomfortable.
The main thing is that this matter is too weird. The An family has always ignored government affairs and never taken sides, and they have always been in the same lineage as King Fu. How could they suddenly get married?
Not to mention all the civil and military officials, even the Confucian disciples who were good friends with the An family were also surprised.
In desperation, An Jun let out a long sigh and walked up to Li Yi with An Zhiyi. He bowed to Li Yi and said, "Common An Jun pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty."
Li Yi suppressed the rage in his heart, stared straight at An Zhiyi, and asked in a deep voice: "Is what this bastard said true?"
He didn't care about anything anymore. He didn't save any face for Mr. Yan and directly called him "son of a bitch!"
When Mr. Yan heard this word, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Cao Qingyan and others immediately stepped forward, fearing that Li Yi would do something outrageous in his rage.
After all, Li Yi had many criminal records, so it was possible for him to kill Mr. Yan in a fit of rage.
"I'm asking you!" Li Yi roared angrily, his eyes full of anger.
But An Zhiyi was like a walking corpse, still silent, not even raising her head.
An Yun didn't want to say anything, but when Mr. Yan gave him a threatening look, he could only say helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is true."
"The betrothal gift has been given and the engagement has been given."
In order to prove the authenticity, Mr. Yan directly took out a marriage contract with large gilt characters and presented it with both hands.
Li Yi's heart suddenly throbbed, and he almost lost his balance. It's over. In this era, as long as there are three betrothal gifts and nine gifts, the matchmaker's words, and an engagement, you are married.
This also means that An Zhiyi's body is branded with the name of Prince Fu's side princess, and she will never be able to go there until she dies.
He grabbed the engagement contract, held it tightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhiyi, what on earth is going on?"
"If you are forced to have no choice, or if you have difficulties, just tell me and I will make the decision for you!"
"Even if I, the King of Heaven, dare to threaten you, I will deal with him!"
"I'm here, don't be afraid!"
He tried not to let himself get angry, suppressing his anger.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone nearby was shocked. This statement is obviously a bit intriguing, right?
No matter what, An Zhiyi is already King Fu's concubine and Li Yi's younger sibling. How could Li Yi be so explicit?
Even if he is today, something is really wrong!
This frightened Cao Qingyan and Sun Tingzong's confidants to the extreme, fearing that Li Yi would do something outrageous.
Everyone was extremely nervous, fearing that the gaffe would escalate!
"Tell me, tell me, why?" Li Yi continued to question.
An Zhiyi just shook her head, tears streaming down her face, but she still didn't dare to raise her head. She was filled with guilt and didn't dare to look directly into Li Yi's eyes.
But Mr. Yan was dissatisfied and immediately said: "Your Majesty, now that An Zhiyi is the concubine of Prince Fu, how do you question her? I'm afraid it's a bit against the rules?"
It's okay not to say it. As soon as he said this, Li Yi became furious, and his anger burst out instantly, like an erupting volcano, "You bastard, I will kill you!"
"boom!"
He raised his hand and punched, powerful and heavy, mixed with endless anger.
Its strength can be imagined.
Just hearing a bang, Mr. Yan was knocked away.
This sudden scene shocked everyone present. How could His Majesty suddenly beat his ministers?
"Yes, no matter what, your Majesty can't beat his ministers?"
"Besides, after Mr. Yan is still a meritorious official, it may be inappropriate for His Majesty to act like this."
"Hey, why do I feel that the relationship between His Majesty and Prince Fu's concubine is a bit unusual?"
"It seems so..."
People around him were talking a lot, and many people began to point the finger at Li Yi and began to criticize him personally. The image of a benevolent gentleman that he had finally built up fell short once again.
"Ahem!"
Master Yan covered his chest with a smile on his face, "Well done, Your Majesty, well done. As long as Your Majesty is not angry, I am willing to beat you to death."
Then he approached An Zhiyi with a smile and said in a very calm tone, "Princess, Your Majesty asked you something, why didn't you answer?"
"Say it!" His threat was too obvious.
"Shut up!" Li Yi pointed at him angrily, "If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you even if I fight for the throne!"
This angry scolding made Mr. Yan's face harden, and he immediately took a step back, his face gloomy, but he did not dare to say any more.
And everyone present was talking and making an uproar. They all stopped and watched, wanting to see what was going on?
An Zhiyi was in a state of extreme suffering at this moment. She wanted to tell the truth several times, but every time she was blocked by her uncle An Jun's eyes. For the sake of her family, she, a weak woman, had no choice.
She opened her thin lips slightly and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. The daughter of the people was never coerced. She voluntarily married Prince Fu as his concubine. Please don't misunderstand me."
As soon as he said this, Li Yi felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his body trembled violently...
