"Emperor Tianyun called and said: The three daughters of the Lian family are respectful and have served in the boudoir for a long time. They are good-natured and prudent... I am very pleased to hear that, and I would like to marry them to the king as his concubines. I have the responsibility to choose them. The marriage will be consummated on an auspicious day. I appreciate this."
The eunuch who came to announce the edict finished reading it in a protracted tone and handed it to Lian Suisui with a squinting smile.
"Miss Liansan, please accept the order."
Lian Suisui was confused. Who is the marriage to?
Become a king?
She glanced at Qin, who looked over with a solemn expression and worry.
"Sui Sui, thank you so much!"
The happiest person is Lian Fangyu.
"My father-in-law, please come and take a trip." Lian Fangyu stuffed a purse into the hand of the eunuch who announced the decree. "My father-in-law is busy with official duties. I don't dare to delay. These... please give me tea for your father-in-law."
Marriage is a happy event, and as a rule, a reward should be given.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
The imperial edict in her hand weighed a thousand pounds. Even Suisui couldn't figure out which step went wrong. How could she be given a marriage to King Cheng?
"Congratulations to Miss Lian San for getting what you wanted."
The Lian family and the Sun family lived on the same street. Sun Mingwei's eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried secretly.
Lian Suisui was in no mood to pay attention to her. She didn't know what it would be like to become a king. She didn't want this blessing!
"Miss Lian San is very resourceful. On the surface, she says she is not interested in Prince Cheng. She goes against Prince Cheng. Has she already planned to use this method to marry into Prince Cheng's palace?"
Hearing the bad news early in the morning, Lian Suisui felt very unhappy, and was blocked by Sun Mingwei again.
"Miss Sun is right, what happened if I did it on purpose? If you are not convinced, go to the emperor!"
"You!" Sun Mingwei said angrily, "Even at the age of Sui, you didn't urinate and take photos. Are you worthy of His Highness? You have a notorious reputation. How can you become His Highness's concubine?"
Sun Mingwei is crazy, even Sui Sui is not as knowledgeable as a lunatic.
"You can't stand me because I'm very clever. Miss Sun, study hard and maybe you can become a concubine in the palace."
To put it bluntly, the concubine is also a concubine, so there is nothing to argue about.
Moreover, Cheng Wang is a deep-minded and ambitious guy. There will be many women in the house in the future. She is stupid to compete with a bunch of women for a man. Isn’t it a good career?
I have to find a way to break off the engagement.
Turning around, I ran into another wall of people.
King Cheng took a half-step to the side with great experience this time.
"Lian Suisui, I don't like scheming women."
King Cheng raised his head, looking very much in need of a beating.
Lian Suisui looked at him strangely.
"You don't need to tell me what kind of person your prince likes."
King Cheng said angrily: "No matter how you try to please me, it's useless. I don't like you."
He had the look on his face that he had already guessed that you were trying to arouse my interest.
Oh, it turned out that I heard her conversation with Sun Mingwei.
Lian Suisui's face dropped.
"What the hell is this so early in the morning?"
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing King Cheng, Sun Mingwei gave a touching shout. When King Cheng looked over, she lowered her head again. Her cheeks were red, but she couldn't say a word.
Even Suisui was worried for her.
"Your Majesty, Miss Sun's affection for the Prince can be seen from heaven. Don't let down the love of your family. Miss Sun said that even if she is a concubine for the Prince, she must marry him. Why don't you hurry up and go to the Right Minister's Mansion to find Mr. Sun? Propose marriage?"
King Cheng was stunned, and Sun Mingwei's face turned even redder.
"Lian Suisui, when did I say such a thing?"
"Don't you like His Highness Prince Cheng?" Lian Suisui said innocently, "That's what I said wrongly. You don't like the prince, and you don't want to be his concubine. Then, prince, you don't have to go to the Sun Mansion to propose marriage. , Miss Sun doesn’t want to marry you.”
"I……"
Sun Mingwei didn't know where Lian Suisui had the shamelessness to say these things in front of a man. How could a woman take the initiative to ask a man to marry her?
Moreover, why should she be a concubine?
She obviously has a better reputation and more talent than Lian Suisui.
Lian Suisui ignored her and raised his head to question King Cheng.
"Why did the prince come to my house again?"
King Cheng felt embarrassed for a moment when he was asked.
"You're not here to find you! I'm here to see Mr. Lian!"
No matter who he came to find, Lian Suisui felt that there was something he had to say first.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the marriage grant is about. The two of us are disgusted with each other. You don't like me, and I don't like you either. Why don't we go to the emperor and make it clear whether I want to marry you or not?" It’s appropriate, please ask the Emperor to cancel the engagement.”
King Cheng's eyes flashed and he said vaguely: "Father has already issued the imperial edict, so why should it be taken back? How can you establish your authority in the future if you plan to make father renege?"
Unable to cancel the engagement, Liansui was irritated.
She had known for a long time that King Cheng was uneasy and kind to her. He obviously got what he wanted, but he still acted like a victim.
She snorted.
"The prince likes me so much? Will you marry me only in this life?"
Since she couldn't cancel the engagement, she felt disgusted with him. She would rather remain a widow than be a concubine to the bad man in front of her!
King Cheng felt a chill and gritted his teeth every word.
"Liansui Sui!"
Going head-on with him was not an option. If the engagement couldn't be cancelled, she would marry into Prince Cheng's palace sooner or later. Then, on their territory, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted to do with her?
How to cancel an engagement?
She was so worried that she was bald, but a good girl didn't want to suffer the immediate disadvantages, so she quickly ran away before King Cheng got angry.
Nine Princes' Mansion.
Chu Zhiyi lowered his eyes and looked at the fish vying for food. The footsteps of Shuying approached, and the fish were frightened and fled away.
"Master, we found out that it was King Cheng who bribed the maidservant beside the eldest princess. Miss Lian San was famous for being obsessed with King Cheng, so the eldest princess helped to say good things in front of the emperor."
What he said yesterday was transmitted to the palace verbatim, but Emperor Chen chose to ignore it. He was already a useless person. He never expected that he could still have such a high status in Emperor Chen's heart.
Ah!
"Then find a way to ruin this engagement."
Shuying raised his head and glanced at his master. The crumbs of the steamed buns were scattered into the lake, and the fish gathered again.
"Master, Miss Liansan..."
He wanted to say that even if her engagement with Cheng Wang failed, she was the woman who almost became his master's nephew-in-law. She was so ugly and had a bad temper. Was she really worthy of his master?
"I don't care about reputation, I only care about results."
Chu Zhiyi's voice was cold. What he wanted could only be his. Those who bullied him and harmed him would all have to pay the price.
"yes!"
…
The mother and daughter fell silent as they looked at the bright yellow imperial edict enshrined on the table.
Qin was the first to break the silence.
"Sui Sui, what do you think? Do you really want to marry into Prince Cheng's palace?"
Lian Suisui shook his head.
"I don't want to, but I can't resist, so I can only prepare for the worst."
To be honest, if Lian Suisui was still the same as before, Mrs. Qin might not be worried. Anyway, she was extremely disappointed. As long as she could save her life, she couldn't care about anything else, and she didn't want to care about it.
Now that her daughter is well-behaved, how could she bear to let her jump into the fire pit?
"What are you going to do?"
Lian Suisui thought for a moment and analyzed: "King Cheng wants to marry me just to get closer to the Qin family. As long as I don't agree with him, he won't get any benefits. Besides, I make him so off-putting, so he should be safe for the time being. of."
King Cheng probably wouldn't touch her.
Lian Suisui took a deep breath.
"Mom, I want to open a medical clinic before I get married and take it with me as a dowry, so that I can have an excuse to leave the house."
"Isn't he just a man? I'm not interested. I'm guarding the medical center as my miracle doctor. I don't care how he fights in the back house!"
This is a mid-range strategy, and she has a second-guessing strategy that is not appropriate to mention.
