At Ling's house, Ling Xiu was furious when he learned about the marriage when he returned home, saying that his parents made the marriage arrangement without asking him what he wanted.
He insisted on breaking off the engagement.
However, Mrs. Ling was appreciated by Princess Jin, and Princess Jin was the matchmaker for Lingxiu's marriage. She had already shown this to the outside world. If she broke off the engagement, she would lose face and offend Princess Jin and Princess Jin. Su family.
Therefore, when Lingxiu said she wanted to break off the engagement, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.
Moreover, Mrs. Ling did not take things lightly. She actually stabbed her heart with scissors, causing it to bleed, which made Lingxiu exhausted both physically and mentally.
It's a good thing that I don't have any errands to do recently, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do the errands well if I were tied up by these things.
He also felt uncomfortable in his heart. When he proposed marriage to His Highness in Beidaying, he felt that he was the happiest at that time, but when he returned to Beijing, everything changed.
His Highness once mentioned to him that Ape seemed very unhappy after learning about the incident. He knew how Ape felt about him and regretted that he did not tell him earlier.
He never liked drinking, so he went to see His Highness half-drunk and said that he wanted to go to the palace to see Ape and that he had something to say to her.
Nangong Yitian frowned when he saw his drunken appearance, "Are you drinking in broad daylight? What are you going to say to her now? I'll leave this matter to the Crown Princess, just wait for the news."
Ling Xiu knelt down on one knee and said, "I beg Your Highness to grant me permission. There are some things I want to say to her personally."
Nangong Yitian asked: "Let me ask you, if the Crown Princess fails to help you solve the problem, what are your plans?"
Lingxiu said firmly: "I will convince my mother that I will not marry any woman other than Ape."
"If you have this plan, I can arrange for you to meet Ape, but if you finally listen to your mother and accept their arrangement, you will not see her this time. Have you told your family about your attitude now? "
"I told her, but my mother is demanding death. She doesn't want to offend Princess Jin. When her mood becomes more stable, I will continue to explain the stakes to her. My mother will definitely understand."
"Then what if she doesn't understand and insists on you marrying Miss Su? What if you don't marry her and she commits suicide?"
Lingxiu's face was a little pale, "Then, I left the house. I had no plans to get married. Although I liked Apei, I thought that I would be in danger if I went on errands with His Highness. I was afraid of hurting Apei, but that day When I told Master Wei that the Crown Princess had asked Ape about marriage, I suddenly realized that even if I didn’t get married, Ape would get married, and I felt particularly uncomfortable thinking about Ape getting married.”
"Okay, since you are planning to do this, come with me to the palace in the evening." Nangong Yitian also took pity on him. Lingxiu and Apei followed him when they were young. They have a deep friendship. I hope they can live happily together. Together.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Xiu was choked up.
Nangong Yitian sighed, "Go ahead and come find me at the end of the day."
"My subordinates resign." Lingxiu surrendered.
Wuji heard about Lingxiu's marriage and came to see Nangong Yitian.
This usually calm counselor was also a little angry, "This method is really petty. He actually uses marriage to win people's hearts. He has been very arrogant recently. It can be seen that the emperor is supporting him."
"Well, he is taking advantage of this trend to take as much as he can." Nangong Yitian glanced at him, "Are you angry too?"
"Of course I'm angry, the method is too mean." Wuji said coldly, "As long as there is a clever trick, it's easy for us to deal with it, but he just does these little tricks, which have little effect but ruins other people's happiness. He is someone who can't use it. .”
Nangong Yitian laughed and said, "Okay, don't be angry. I know you feel sorry for A Pei. When the Crown Princess gives birth to a child, we will let you two go through a ceremony and become brother and sister."
