Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince
Chapter 33
After Bai Zhiyuan sat down, there was a chorus of compliments from all around, most of which were compliments to Bai Tingxuan for having a pair of good children and winning the emperor's favor.
Bai Zhiyuan looked through the crowd and looked at Xie Yunsong who was surrounded by the crowd. Seeing Xie Yunsong's indifferent face, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
At this time, Prince Kangding looked at Xie Yunsong and said, "Your Majesty, I saw Yun Hui in Yuanyang Tower two days ago. I think Yun Hui should be old enough to get married and have children. I just wonder if Yun Hui has someone he likes?"
Xie Yunsong heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a mocking tone: "I have no intention of getting married. Now the war continues in the north and south, and I have no time for personal affairs."
Emperor Renxiao was relieved when he heard this. "That being said, Yun Hui also needs to focus on his personal affairs."
Then he turned to King Kangding and rebuked him: "You think Yun Hui is just like you, only caring about love affairs."
Prince Kangding originally wanted to embarrass Xie Yunsong, but after hearing this he dared not speak any more.
After the dance, many people did not notice the little episode that had just happened.
The hall fell silent, and Xie Yunsong spoke in a deep voice: "Since Prince Kangding mentioned the incident at Yuanyang Tower a few days ago, I thought of His Royal Highness Prince Yan, who seemed to be there that day."
Qi Zeyi was shocked and said to the emperor: "Father, I am a senior apprentice of General Huaiyuan's daughter. We met by chance in Yuanyang Tower that day and chatted for a while. Who knew that we would meet the emperor's uncle and General Yunhui, which led to misunderstandings between the two of us."
Bai Zhiyuan sneered in his heart. Qi Zeyi had really thought of a good excuse these days. But how could he follow your wishes?
As expected, Xie Yunsong said lazily, "I don't know whose brothers and sisters are chatting in such a disheveled way. Your Highness Prince Yan really disgraces the royal family."
This sentence instantly rose to the level of the royal family's face, and the emperor looked at Qi Zeyi with a heavy gaze. Qi Zeyi was sweating profusely, and hated Xie Yunsong a million times in his heart.
Qi Zeyi knelt down hurriedly, "Father, Miss Jiang and I are senior and junior brothers and sisters, so our relationship is naturally different from that of others."
Xie Yunsong sneered and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yan and Miss Bai are engaged, so why is your relationship different from others?"
Qi Zeyi was speechless for a moment, and then he paused and said, "Miss Bai and I are childhood sweethearts, and we are also senior brothers and sisters. And Miss Jiang, the three of us studied martial arts together in Zhongnan Mountain. The relationship is naturally different."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall looked at Bai Zhiyuan.
Qi Zeyi looked at her with anticipation.
Bai Zhiyuan curled her lips. Qi Zeyi said this because he expected that she would not offend him even if she was angry, for the sake of the overall situation. Unfortunately, she was no longer the weak Bai Zhiyuan in her previous life.
Bai Zhiyuan slowly stood up, walked to the emperor and knelt down, her skirt spreading on the ground.
After a long while, her clear and firm voice rang out, "Your Majesty, I am willing to break off the engagement with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Qi Zeyi's pupils suddenly shrank and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Concubine Rou's expression suddenly changed. She stood up abruptly and said sternly, "How dare you. This marriage was decided by the Emperor himself. You can't cancel it just like that."
Emperor Renxiao looked slightly startled, but said nothing. He just stared at Bai Zhiyuan quietly.
Bai Zhiyuan remained kneeling on the ground, and said word by word, "The Emperor arranged a marriage between me and His Royal Highness Prince Yan. Now that His Royal Highness Prince Yan and Sister Jiang are in love with each other, I don't want to be the bad guy. I hope the Emperor will fulfill my wish and cancel this marriage."
After saying this, Bai Zhiyuan leaned forward and kowtowed, not looking up for a long time.
After a while, the voice of Emperor Renxiao sounded from above, "Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. You should stand up first. Since I have conferred upon you the title of Princess Rong'an, I will definitely make the decision for you."
At this time, Jiang Muyun knelt on the ground, her eyes reddened, "Your Majesty, when I was studying with His Royal Highness Prince Yan, we already had feelings for each other, but Sister Bai has never had any romantic feelings for His Royal Highness Prince Yan, please understand clearly."
She turned around and bit her lips and said to Bai Zhiyuan, "Sister, you are engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yan, and I have always kept it in mind. But I was so focused on learning martial arts that I neglected His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness and I are also in love with each other. I would like to thank you for your help today."
Bai Zhiyuan sneered in her heart. Jiang Muyun was such a fool. She was probably afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she would never have the chance to become the Queen of Prince Yan again.
Bai Zhiyuan said coldly, "I don't know when you two fell in love with each other, but what happened in Yuanyang Tower that day has spread everywhere. Where do you two put me? And where do you put my Bai family? I believe that His Majesty is here today, and he will definitely see through everything and give justice to our Bai family."
Jiang Muyun was startled, and she didn't know why she felt uneasy. She had just heard the news that Bai Zhiyuan wanted to cancel the engagement, and she was ecstatic. She had always dreamed of becoming the Princess of Yan, and she had to seize this opportunity.
At this time, Jiang Muyun had completely forgotten what Qi Zeyi had told her time and again to be patient, and she only wanted to seize this opportunity.
At this moment, Bai Tingxuan, who had been silent all this time, knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this old minister has only one daughter. Back then, this old minister asked Your Majesty for this marriage, intending to find a man who could protect her daughter. But now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has someone in his heart. This old minister does not want to force others, so I specially ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order and cancel this marriage."
At this time, His Royal Highness Prince Qi's mother, Concubine Shu, looked like she was enjoying a good show. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since Prince Yan and this girl from the Jiang family are in love, this girl from the Bai family is also pitiful. A good marriage has become a joke in the whole city. In my opinion, Your Majesty might as well fulfill their wish and cancel this marriage. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Concubine Shu also had her own considerations. Once the marriage between Prince Yan and Bai Zhiyuan failed, Prince Yan would lose the military power in Bai Tingxuan's hands. Then her son, Prince Qi Zexu, would have the opportunity to seize the military power in Bai Tingxuan's hands. This would be a good thing for her, so she spoke up for Bai Zhiyuan.
Bai Zhiyuan naturally knew what Concubine Shu was thinking, but unfortunately Concubine Shu had made a wrong calculation.
Qi Zeyi reacted quickly at this time, and he said in time: "Father, my son and Miss Jiang are from the same family, and we have always been polite and sensible. I know that what happened in Yuanyang Tower that day chilled Miss Bai's heart, but I know that she is my fiancée, and I will definitely make it up to her. I also believe that Miss Bai's statement of breaking off the engagement was just a momentary impulse, please understand, Father."
Seeing this, Concubine Rou quickly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, Miss Bai is the same. Is it worth bringing such a small matter to Your Majesty?"
Bai Zhiyuan glanced at him with a hint of ridicule, and his tone was even more hostile: "Your Highness Prince Yan is making a clean move. Ask my junior sister, are you and she really just fellow disciples?"
Bai Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I want to cancel the engagement. It is not a whim, but a result of careful consideration. There is no love between me and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I beg Your Majesty to take back your decision."
The emperor had a calm expression as he looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and did not speak for a while.
At this time, a dignified and old voice sounded: "Emperor, I see that Miss Bai and Lao Wu really have no affection for each other, so why bother to tie these two children together. Since Miss Jiang said that she and Lao Wu are in love, why not call this marriage off. I will also do a good deed and grant Miss Jiang and Lao Wu a marriage, which can be regarded as a marriage. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The Emperor would not offend the Empress Dowager in public. After a brief thought, he spoke in a deep voice, "Since Miss Bai is determined to cancel the engagement, and Old Five and Miss Jiang are a perfect match, then I will grant your wish. The marriage between Miss Bai and Old Five will be cancelled. Since the Empress Dowager is willing to grant the marriage between Old Five and Miss Jiang, then you two should get married as soon as possible after the New Year."
Qi Zeyi pursed his lips tightly, his face turned blue, his eyes were filled with anger, and he glanced at Bai Zhiyuan gloomily.
Bai Zhiyuan seemed unaware and hurriedly thanked him.
Qi Zeyi had no choice but to thank him.
Jiang Muyun couldn't contain his joy and hurriedly thanked him.
Emperor Renxiao pinched his brows, and the Queen, who had not spoken, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is tired, why don't you take a rest early? Let's end today's palace banquet here."
The emperor nodded and waved his hand. The eunuch beside him saw this and hurriedly announced the end of the palace banquet.
Everyone stood up, bowed and left.
