"Third brother, third brother, don't blame me. If I don't tell you, my father will marry that bad woman Shangguan Yue'er to me. She used to bully Sister Lin when she was studying with her. I don't want to be so vicious. Woman, just ask for your blessings."
Prince Yan's Mansion,
It was already close to noon, and no one dared to go to the bedroom to wake Xuanyuan Yi up.
Qingfeng Mingyue just continued to guard the door.
Xuanyuan Yi touched his head, his eyelashes trembling, he felt sore all over and wanted to turn over.
As soon as I turned over, I bumped into something hot and unknown, and I sat up instinctively.
Seeing that there was a woman lying next to him, Xuanyuan Yi kicked him out of bed.
"Ouch, brother Yi fell to death."
Shangguan Yue'er's voice came.
Xuanyuan Yi's eyes were startled.
"How could it be you? Why are you here?"
Seeing that both of them were naked, Xuanyuan Yi threw the quilt directly on Shangguan Yue'er's head and covered it.
He flew up, picked up the robe on the ground and put it on, very quickly.
Taking off the quilt on her head, Shangguan Yue'er said in a cooing voice:
"Brother Yi, last night we... already...she is already Brother Yi's woman?"
Recalling the scene in yesterday's dream, Xuanyuan Yi thought to himself: "Isn't that a dream last night? How could I do such an uncontrollable thing?"
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yi didn't speak, Shangguan Yue'er immediately burst into tears and looked like she was wronged.
"Brother Yi, it was you who pulled Yue'er and did that to Yue'er. Now that you wake up and treat Yue'er so coldly, how can Brother Yi treat Yue'er like this?"
Seeing Shangguan Yue'er sitting on the ground crying her heart out,
Xuanyuan Yi stepped forward and wrapped the quilt around Shangguan Yue'er.
"I have no memory of last night. I thought I was dreaming. I didn't know you..."
Shangguan Yue'er got directly into Xuanyuan Yi's arms and interrupted him:
"Brother Yi's family is now Brother Yi's. Brother Yi, don't leave Yue'er behind. Yesterday, both the Sixth Prince and Qingfeng Mingyue saw what happened between us."
Xuanyuan Yi's pupils trembled, and he tried to recall the scene last night, but he seemed to be in a dream, how could he be so unconscious.
"What did you say? Sixth brother has been here?"
Xuanyuan Yi asked.
"Yes, he saw us with his own eyes yesterday. Brother Yi, you must not be so cruel to Yue'er. Yue'er has really loved Brother Yi for so many years. Yue'er is willing to do whatever Brother Yi asks Yue'er to do. "
Shangguan Yue'er kept rubbing and coquettishly in Xuanyuan Yi's arms.
Xuanyuan Yi was stunned for a long time without knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace quickly to meet the Holy Spirit."
The palace steward hurried to the courtyard and shouted.
Only then did Xuanyuan Yi come back to his senses and replied: "I understand."
"Come here, I will help you bathe and change your clothes."
Xuanyuan Yi strode away, leaving Shangguan Yue'er crying on the ground.
After the person left, Shangguan Yue'er immediately changed into a calculating face.
"Yue'er's body has been given to Brother Yi, we can't let this go."
After Xuanyuan Yi took a bath, he immediately entered the palace.
In the General's Mansion, Lin Wanru was happily playing on the swing with Chuntao Liuli.
Laughter echoed in the courtyard.
"Miss, miss, something bad is going on"
A maid came running towards Lin Wanru.
Lin Wanru stopped the swing, her face full of questions.
"What's wrong? It's such a good weather. What's wrong with it? Is Xuanyuan Yi dead?"
Lin Wanru asked pretending to be anxious.
"No, miss. Just now, a maid from the Duke's Mansion came to deliver a message, saying that her young lady and Prince Yan consummated their marriage last night. It looks like her young lady asked her to deliver the message on purpose."
The maid said nervously.
"That's it, isn't that better? One of them is vicious and evil-minded, and the other loves to accuse people indiscriminately. They make a perfect pair!"
Lin Wanru gestured excitedly and laughed nonchalantly.
"Miss, your fiancé has been robbed. Why don't you worry? You are about to marry His Highness Prince Yan! It's obvious that Miss Shangguan deliberately spread the news to provoke the lady."
The maid reminded.
"Yes, what you said reminded me, isn't this a good opportunity to break off the engagement?"
Lin Wanru stood up directly,
"Chuntao, Liuli, help me apply makeup. I will go to the palace to find the emperor to cancel the engagement."
Chuntao Liuli glanced at each other. They knew that Lin Wanru didn't want to marry King Yan in the first place, so they hurried forward to serve him.
The little maid was left with a confused look on her face.
In the palace.
As soon as Xuanyuan Yi entered the imperial study, the emperor hit him directly on the knee with a memorial and fell to his knees.
"Prince Yan, you are so bold, you dare not even listen to my will."
The emperor was furious and his face turned red with anger.
"My son, I have met with my father, and I would like to ask my father not to make the dragon body angry."
Xuanyuan Yi said without changing his expression.
The emperor pointed at Xuanyuan Yi, stepped forward angrily, and kicked Xuanyuan Yi directly.
"Do you know why I tried so hard to get you to marry Lin Wanru?
It’s not because you haven’t been with your mother and concubine since you were a child. I feel I owe you.
Do you really think that just a few words from Concubine Jin will make me listen to her?
Do you know how many of the princes and princes are interested in Lin Wanru, and how many of them want to marry the general?
Her father held the three armies in his hands, and no matter who Lin Wanru married, he would be a great help to whomever he married.
I am already old. If I die that day, you must be able to protect yourself.
I have planned so hard for you, but you actually got together with another woman a few days before your wedding.
You can do it, but she is still the daughter of the Duke of the State. You know full well that Shangguan Yue'er is completely in love with you.
If you still don't hold back, please make it clear as soon as possible. Now that I am the daughter of a general and the daughter of a prince, what do you want me to do?
The imperial edict of marriage is known to the world. Do you want me to go back on my word and temporarily change it to marry the daughter of the Duke as my concubine? Where is my face? Where is the reputation of the General's Mansion? "
The emperor was so angry that he kicked Xuanyuan Yi repeatedly.
Knowing that he was wrong, Xuanyuan Yi did not dodge, but knelt down straight.
"Father, you may not believe it. My child's temperature increased for no reason yesterday, but the imperial doctor could not diagnose the cause.
With no other option, the child took an ice bath and got better. But for some reason, when he woke up, Yue'er was next to him.
When it comes to intimacy, the child seems to be in a dream and doesn't know why he can't control himself. "
Xuanyuan Yi reported truthfully.
"So what? You and Shangguan Yue'er do have a physical relationship after all, right? At this time, as a grown man, you can't pass the responsibility to a daughter's family, right?"
The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Yi with wide eyes.
"Father, please look at me, what should I do?"
"Go to the Duke's Mansion quickly and make sure to comfort Shangguan Yue'er.
Tell her that I can issue a marriage decree, but I can only grant her the position of side concubine, and the position of main concubine can only be Lin Wanru.
If she is willing, she can marry you and Lin Wanru into Prince Yan's palace on your wedding day.
If she doesn't want to, then find an opportunity to resolve the problem privately.
Should I kill him or let the Duke cause trouble in the court in the future? Let me, the General's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion lose all face.
It's up to you to protect the overall situation. "
The emperor glared at his unsatisfactory son.
Before Xuanyuan Yi could speak, he heard the eunuch Jiang Eunuch came to report:
"Your Majesty, General Lin Wanru has come to pay homage to your Majesty."
The emperor pointed at Xuanyuan Yi, gave Xuanyuan Yi a killing look, and signaled to his son.
"You'd better stop causing trouble, Xuan."
As soon as Lin Wanru walked into the imperial study, she saw Xuanyuan Yi kneeling on the ground.
"Wanru pays homage to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
"Wanru, get up quickly." The emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
