The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

Shen Qiyin looked at the bright yellow imperial edict, then at the faint light flashing in Xiao Yan's eyes, and began to have some guesses in his mind.

She opened her red lips and was about to speak, but a voice spoke before her.

"Xiao Yan."

Princess Shouchang took a step forward, and there was even light in her eyes when she looked at him. She looked so smiling and she was completely different from when she faced Shen Qiyin just now.

Shen Qiyin was standing in front of Xiao Yan. Because of the distance, she could clearly see that his face darkened the moment Princess Shouchang's voice rang out, and he became visibly unhappy.

He turned to Princess Shouchang Yuanzi and bowed slightly as a greeting.

Yuan Zi was not annoyed, she just looked at him with bright eyes.

"I came to look for you as soon as I returned to Beijing." Yuan Zi said, and actually stretched out her hand towards him, as if she wanted to hold his arm.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately took a big step back and put some distance between himself and her.

Even when he saw Shen Qiyin still standing there in a daze, he reached out and pulled her over.

Yuan Zi's face turned green when she saw this scene.

But Xiao Yan pretended not to see it, and said: "Princess, please respect yourself. I am a married man now, please do not ruin my reputation."

His simple words stunned everyone present.

Chen Bao thought, reputation? When has his master ever cared about that?

Come to think of it, didn’t you just hold Miss Shen’s hand? Weren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation at that time?

The difference is that Yuan Zi focused on the first half of Xiao Yan's sentence.

"Family?!" She frowned, surprised and angry: "During the time I was away from Beijing, you were already married?"

It's impossible. How come she didn't get any information about such a big thing?

Xiao Yan: "Not married yet, but..."

He raised his hand, allowing Yuan Zi to clearly see the imperial edict in his hand.

Then, he continued slowly, "Soon."

Yuan Zi snatched the imperial edict from his hand and read it word by word from beginning to end. The expression on her face changed from initial shock to anger.

——The Heaven is virtuous and brings people together. Now there is a daughter of the Shen family who is respectful and obedient, and she is promoted to a higher position and uses her light to shine. She has a virtuous character and is prudent. She is gentle, kind, respectful, and has a gentle nature. She is gentle and bright, and has a peaceful and upright beauty. I hereby marry her to Xiao Yan, the son of the Duke of Ningguo. I have appointed an auspicious date for the marriage, and the marriage will be harmonious to comfort my heart.

"Shen's daughter, Shen's daughter..." Yuan Zi kept repeating these words. After a moment, she suddenly looked up and glared at Shen Qiyin: "It's you! The one that the emperor arranged the marriage for is you, right?"

"Right...right?" Shen Qiyin was not sure. After all, her name was not written on the imperial edict.

She looked at Xiao Yan for confirmation, and the latter rubbed his fingers, as if wanting to flick her on the head, and then asked her, who else could it be but her!

Yuan Zi looked incredulous: "How could this happen? Why would the emperor grant you a marriage?"

"She is just a commoner girl, how can she be worthy of you!"

"I am a princess of a country. No matter my family background or status, I should be a better match for you. Why did you choose her?"

Yuan Zi, Chen Bao, and even Shen Qiyin, all thought that Xiao Yan would say that he wanted to marry Shen Qiyin because he liked her as a person and didn't care about her status at all, and so on.

Who knows——

The prince seemed to think about it, then replied seriously: "She is beautiful, I like beautiful people."

"What a joke!" Yuan Zi sneered: "Isn't this princess beautiful?"

"Ah."

"..."

Yuan Zi was almost angry to death.

She was about to say something else, but Xiao Yan suddenly said meaningfully, "Didn't His Majesty warn the princess to stay away from me?"
