He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

The three days of the autumn examination passed in the blink of an eye.

After collecting the test papers, gongs and drums sounded, and the students left the examination room one after another.

Some are full of energy and smile, while others are frowning and sighing.

The area outside the Imperial Examination Hall was as lively as on the day of the exam, with family members or servants coming to pick up the students.

The Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze and others also came out. They were locked up in the Imperial Examination Hall for three days, but they did not suffocate to death.

Du Cheng'an was very anxious. After leaving the Imperial Examination Hall, he was about to return to his residence, but Tang Ze stopped him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Go back to the City Patrol Office first."

Lu Cheng said, "Don't stop him. He is anxious to know whether he is engaged or not."

Tang Ze smiled and said, "If you want to know, why do you need to go back and ask? Didn't the servant from Duke Du's mansion come?"

Although they did not take part in the Autumn Examination, they stayed in the Imperial Examination Hall for three days after all, so it was impossible for the servant not to come to greet them.

As he spoke, Du Cheng'an's servant squeezed forward.

Tang Ze asked the servant, "Has your young master's marriage been decided?"

The boy shook his head, "No..."

No?

Aren’t Princess Huyang and her husband too inefficient?

Du Chengan asked anxiously, "Didn't my parents go to the Wang family to propose marriage for me?"

The servant twitched his lips and said, "I mentioned it, but he still didn't agree..."

Du Chengan, "..."

Tangze, "..."

Lu Cheng, "..."

Prince Yanping, "..."

"Why?"

The four of them said in unison.

The last time Du Cheng'an went to the Wang family to propose marriage, he failed because Du Cheng'an did not explain it clearly and the Wang family did not think much about it. It was understandable that the marriage did not go through. But why did the Wang family still not agree when he went to propose marriage again? It does not make sense.

Du Cheng'an's status is more noble than any of theirs. He is the emperor's nephew, the empress dowager's grandson, the only son of Princess Huyang and her husband, and the prince of Duke Du. Any one of them is enough if taken alone, but if they are put together, they can walk around Kyoto with their heads held high.

Du Cheng'an felt physically and mentally frustrated, and he stared at the servant.

There were people everywhere. The Prince of Yanping called the servant aside, and the servant said, "The girl that the prince likes is a concubine's daughter. At first, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang refused the marriage on the grounds that she was a concubine's daughter and could not marry the prince of the Duke's Mansion. The eldest princess said that a concubine's daughter could be registered under the name of her mother and married as a legitimate daughter. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang hesitated, and the eldest princess became a little angry. Mrs. Wang said that when the girl was eight years old and seriously ill, a Taoist priest calculated her birth date and said that she could not be betrothed before she reached the age of 15, and could not marry before she was sixteen..."

"The princess didn't believe what the Taoist said and asked for the girl's birth date and horoscope, and asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate it. Madam Wang panicked at the time, and the princess asked Madam Wang if she felt that the prince didn't grow up with her and looked down on him, so she made up an excuse to refuse."

"Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were so scared that they knelt on the ground. The eldest son-in-law asked them if they had any unspeakable secrets. Mrs. Wang was sitting on pins and needles and was vague. She said that they could not decide the girl's marriage and had to get the approval of the Minister of Justice..."

The boy poured out everything he knew.

The Prince of Yanping and his men are like this: you look at me and I look at you.

Everyone found it strange that Master Wang and Madam Wang had no say in the marriage of Miss Wang, and had to get the approval of the Minister of Justice...

"Could that be the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice?" Tang Ze asked curiously.

Prince Yanping said, "Don't make blind guesses. The Wang family is the maiden family of the wife of the Minister of Justice."

My mother's family helped Minister Xu raise an illegitimate child. If Mrs. Xu knew about this, she would be so angry that she would die.

Besides, Minister Xu is an upright person and would never do anything that would damage his reputation.

Du Chengan asked, "Didn't my parents ask the Minister of Justice?"

The servant said, "After two visits, the marriage was not settled. The princess was very angry and didn't want to help the prince to find a marriage. The prince consort coaxed the princess and then went to see the minister of justice."

"Then what?" Du Cheng'an asked again.

"..."

Is there any need to ask? If it had been successful, he would have said it at the beginning.

The Prince of Yanping responded and said, "The Minister of Justice didn't agree either?"

"Why?" Tang Ze asked.

The servant shook his head. "I don't know why the Minister of Justice disagreed. The princess asked the prince consort, but he didn't tell her. He just said that it depends on the fate of the prince and the girl..."

Lu Cheng felt that his brain was not enough. "Brother Du has persuaded the princess and the prince consort to come to his house to propose marriage for him. If this is not considered fate, then what is?"

Tang Ze said to Du Cheng'an, "It seems that we can only ask the emperor to grant you a marriage."

The Prince of Yanping said, "Don't teach me nonsense. The eldest son-in-law said it depends on fate. The Minister of Justice must have had his own reasons for not approving the marriage. Once the imperial decree is issued, there will be no room for maneuver. It might even kill someone."

"Who was killed?" Tang Ze asked.

The Prince of Yanping said, "Xu Ji's cousin has been dressed as a boy since she was a child. I'm afraid it's not just a simple illness."

Tang Ze and Lu Cheng taught Du Cheng'an to open his arms at the Lantern Festival and wait for the girl to be in his arms. Du Cheng'an believed it, and the Prince of Yanping might not stop it. Du Cheng'an really went to ask the emperor to grant him a marriage.

The marriage that both the Minister of Justice and the eldest son-in-law agree to still depends on fate. The resistance in this process must be something that the Minister of Justice and the eldest son-in-law cannot overcome even if they join forces.

Du Cheng'an looked distraught, and the Prince of Yanping and others couldn't bear to see him.

He finally found a girl he liked, but his marriage was full of twists and turns. I wanted to give him some advice, but I didn't know where to start.

Du Cheng'an was in a bad mood, so the Prince of Yanping and others did not let him go to the City Patrol Office with them.

The three of them went to the City Patrol Office, and Du Cheng'an returned home.

Princess Huyang hadn't seen her son for three days and missed him very much. But when she saw her son looking unhappy, she knew that her son knew that the Wang family had not agreed to the marriage.

It's just that the marriage was not approved. There are many ladies from noble families in Kyoto, and it doesn't have to be a girl from the royal family.

But Princess Huyang didn't dare to say this out loud, because her son's expression showed that he had made up his mind.

Princess Huyang looked at the eldest son-in-law, who comforted Du Cheng'an and said, "This marriage may not be hopeless, but the timing is not right now. Although the Minister of Justice has not agreed to the marriage, he also said that when Miss Wang is able to be married, if you haven't married yet, I will give her to you."

Du Cheng'an was a little confused. He had lived too simple a life in the past nineteen years. The message hidden in these words was a bit too much for him to digest for a while.

Princess Huyang heard something and frowned, "Can't Miss Wang marry someone right now?"

As long as there is no engagement, what can't be promised to someone?

If I had been engaged earlier, I would have rejected them directly on the same day. There would be no need to make excuses.

The eldest son-in-law was confused. He said something to his son, but his son didn't understand. The mother heard the problem and said with a headache, "It's hard to explain this in a few words. You will know it later."

Treat her perfunctorily again!

It can't be explained in a few words. They don't have only time to say a few words. If one day can't explain it, two days should be enough, right?

After a trip to the Minister of Justice's residence, his son's marriage failed and the relationship between the couple was about to break down.
