On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Hearing this, the emperor was immediately stunned. You know, a few months ago, the second prince Li Yunfeng came to see him, talking about this engagement.

It stands to reason that since the eldest princess's son is dead, the engagement will be invalidated. But from Li Yunfeng's mouth, he heard a different explanation:

"Father, although my aunt never blamed me for what happened back then, I still can't live with it in my heart. Xu Shihuan, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, was the daughter-in-law that my aunt had chosen long ago. It's a pity that my brother is no longer alive, and this engagement is only I can give up."

"Father, I have the courage to ask my father to grant marriage to my son and Xu Shihuan. My aunt's son died because of my son, so my son will be my aunt's son, and together with Xu Shihuan, I will provide for my aunt until her death."

The emperor looked at his son kneeling in front of him and did not speak for a long time. I think back then, he did too many unforgivable things for the sake of this throne. Therefore, he could see through Li Yunfeng's every move at a glance.

"Marriage? Have you asked the Xu family for their opinion? Does your aunt really agree?"

Seeing the displeasure on the emperor's face, Li Yunfeng immediately lowered his head and did not dare to continue talking about the matter. After kneeling for a long time, the emperor said softly:

"Marriage is impossible. If you want to marry, then fight for it on your own merits. I won't stop you."

What the emperor never said was that the Xu family, like the second prince, could go or stay at his own discretion. The identity of the second prince's biological mother destined him to miss the throne.

As for the Xu family, if they could continue to protect themselves wisely, he would be willing to save their lives because of their friendship in the early years. If the Xu family's legitimate daughter and the second prince come together, they may end up being a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.

To the emperor's surprise, the Xu family not only rejected the second prince, but also sent their only daughter to a girls' school. With Xu Shihuan admitted to the top tier, her marriage to the second prince was completely blown.

But now, Li Jiayi mentioned this matter again, I wonder what he meant? If Xu Shihuan was asked to give up his current official position and marry into the Second Prince's Mansion, not only the Xu family would not agree, but he would not agree either.

In the past few years, the number of talents selected by the imperial examinations in Wanhua Kingdom has become less and less. Finally, Xu Shihuan was born. The emperor also planned to let her hone her skills in Hezhou for a few years and then transfer her back to be re-employed. How could she resign and get married?

"Jiayi, brother Huang doesn't quite understand what you mean by suddenly mentioning this matter?"

Li Jiayi took a deep breath and said what he had prepared before:

"I want Wen Yidi to marry into the Xu family, and I will recognize Xu Shihuan as my goddaughter. In this way, I can fulfill my original dream without getting the Wen family involved with the royal family."

After hearing this, the emperor thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head and refused:

"Jiayi, it's not that the emperor doesn't want to help you, it's just that your request is too outrageous. Even if I agree, will the Xu family agree?"

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Li Jiayi pretended to be angry and said aggressively:

"How outrageous? Brother Huang, you don't know that although Guan Shanyue grew up with me, she has always compared with me in everything since she was little. When I chose Pei Yi as my consort, she turned around and got married. Promise for the people."

"Later, I lost my consort and my son. On the surface, she felt sorry for me, but secretly she didn't know how to gloat about my misfortune! Our Li family is the king, and their Xu family is the minister. I have to make the final decision on Xu Shihuan's marriage!"

Speaking of this, the emperor's attitude did not relax at all. Li Jiayi's eyes darkened, remembering what Xu Weimin whispered to her that day:

"Since the two children have such a fate, I will not hide it from you. Do you think the emperor has never thought of getting rid of the Xu family?"

So, she immediately changed her expression, assumed the posture of a superior, and said:

"Brother Emperor, my proposal is not motivated by emotion. I just want to take this opportunity to rub the Xu family's spirit. I want the Xu family to know that if Xu Weimin becomes the prime minister, so what? What if General Guan won the battle? So what? After all, the world still has the surname Li."

As expected, the emperor immediately became interested after hearing this. Ever since General Guan won the battle, he had trouble sleeping and eating. They were afraid that the Guan family would have other thoughts and threaten their own empire.

But in this situation, he couldn't show any signs of it. If he does it too obviously, how will the people in the world look at him?

But Li Jiayi's suggestion woke him up. What is the most important thing to the Xu family and the Guan family? It is Xu Shihuan's only bloodline.

Instead of worrying about who she would marry in the future and whether she would join forces with that person and threaten her own country, it would be better to find a lowly position like Wen Yidi for her and stop them from thinking about it.

"But it's easy for you to say, will the Xu family agree obediently? If I grant a marriage rashly, what will the world think of me?"

Since the emperor asked this question, it proved that he was beginning to waver. Li Jiayi smiled slightly and said firmly:

"Don't worry, I will go and talk to them. If they don't agree, I will bite my son to death and let Xu Shihuan guard my son for the rest of his life."

The emperor looked at his sister in surprise. In his impression, although the emperor's sister had a bad personality, she was not a bad person and would never do such a threatening thing.

But then he thought about it, how could a person remain the same after going through so many things? Besides, this matter is of no harm to him. Since Jiayi has this idea, let her go.

As the New Year was approaching, the emperor looked at the money presented by the Wen family and the account books for this year, and his face was really ugly. Since Wen Yidi went to Hezhou, the Wen family's business has plummeted, and the money earned is only 40% of previous years.

Fortunately, Wen Yidi, who was far away in Hezhou, opened a shop and did business with the Suwu Kingdom. The money earned could barely fill the hole this year.

For the first time, the emperor realized that this boy named Wen Yidi was really capable. Coupled with the news that came from Hezhou not long ago, it was said that under the leadership of Xu Shihuan, the people of Hezhou were living a good life, and even the population had increased a lot.

The emperor was still struggling as to what excuse he should find to arrange a marriage for the two of them. Now that I saw it, I suddenly had an idea. Without any hesitation, he wrote down two imperial edicts, praising the two for their work, and at the same time asked them to return to Yong'an City to receive the reward in person.

At that time, he will make a promise to the Wen family. As long as Wen Yidi is not stupid, he will know what to ask for from him. As for Xu Shihuan, he gave her a gorgeous wedding dress.

According to the laws of Wanhua Kingdom, a woman who marries a merchant can only enter the house as a concubine. But after all, this is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family and the first female beauty queen in Wanhua Kingdom, so she cannot bear this kind of grievance.
