The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Concubine Zheng began to praise Dongfang Shuo again, saying that he fought well in this battle and made great military achievements, and that there was hope for everything in the future.

Following this, he mentioned the Queen and the Crown Prince, "I wonder how angry they must be right now. They must have thought that the two of you would die in the battlefield in the South, but you returned in glory."

Concubine Zheng felt very relieved and proud.

Runxue felt more and more that Concubine Zheng was undoubtedly a bad teammate at this moment.

She had to speak up: "The situation is still unclear, and my cousin has passed away, so we should stay out of the spotlight for now."

Fortunately, Concubine Zheng was not hopeless and agreed with her: "Runxue is right. Chu Heyi and Xie Lin have cut off a very important force of ours. Even your uncle has been bullied by them."

Dongfang Shuo held her hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely avenge you."

The Emperor specially invited the Grand Tutor to attend the celebration banquet tonight.

Yuan Guanyu washed and changed his clothes early and went into the palace. Before the celebration banquet began, the prince sent someone to summon him. Yuan Guanyu went to the East Palace and found that the queen was there too.

The three of them sat down to talk, and the rest were sent out to guard the door.

The Queen looked unhappy: "I really didn't expect that the Third Prince could win a great victory in the southern battlefield this time. It's really hateful."

The Grand Tutor comforted him, "It has already happened. Why don't you think about how to deal with it in the future? Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. Even if the Third Prince is capable and ambitious, he is not legitimate."

Although the queen was anxious, she had to say that she had no good plan for dealing with the situation and could only take things one step at a time.

As the three of them talked, they also talked about Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

The queen clenched her nails into her palms and bit her lip slightly. This was the topic she was most reluctant to face.

The prince was very curious: "That day when I returned from an inspection, I met Xie Lin and he did look a bit like me. Why is that? Are you surprised, mother?"

The queen's eyes dodged slightly.

The Grand Tutor said, "The world is so big that nothing is impossible. Two people who have nothing to do with each other look alike. This has been the case since ancient times. Don't take it too seriously."

He continued, "When your mother saw his appearance earlier, she was also shocked. She was worried that he would develop ambitions because of his face that looked so much like yours, so she wanted to get rid of him. However, Xie Lin was a very capable person, so not only did she fail to get rid of him, but she also asked him to join the government."

The prince smiled and said, "Mother, you are really worrying too much. If a person can replace me just by appearance, then wouldn't it be a joke for so many people to fight for power throughout history?"

The queen just pursed her lips and didn't respond to him.

The Grand Tutor said, "Your Highness is right. Your Highness should relax a little. Since Xie Lin has entered the government, it is irreversible. Why not do him a favor and bring him to our side?"

The Queen suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the Grand Tutor. What her father meant was that if she couldn't get rid of him, she should win him over?

It seems not impossible.

When the emperor first saw Xie Lin, he was shocked by his appearance, but until now, the emperor has never asked any questions.

She announced to the public that anyone who dared to comment that Xie Lin looked like the prince would be humiliating the prince.

So far, there has been very little discussion outside.

In other words, there is almost no open discussion.

If that's the case, why can't she pull Xie Lin into her camp and use him for the benefit of her and her son?

Back then, she had kept Xie Lin alive so that he could assist her prince after he grew up. Unfortunately, Xie Lin's appearance became more and more like the prince, so she made up her mind to trap Xie Lin to death in the Xie family and not give him the chance to show his face.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lin would appear in front of the world today.

The Queen looked at the Grand Tutor: "Father, do you have any good ideas?"

"Does the Queen remember what Miss Heyi from the Chu family did when you tried to deal with Xie Lin twice?"

The Queen thought about it and immediately said, "She stood in front of Xie Lin regardless of her own life... Are you saying that the two of them have feelings for each other and love each other?"

The Grand Tutor stroked his graying beard, smiled and nodded slightly, "That's right. So this old minister proposes that the Emperor grant a marriage between Xie Lin and Miss Heyi. They will both be grateful to you, Empress. In this way, you will not only get rid of powerful enemies, but also be able to use them for your own benefit."

When the queen heard this, she felt like she had suddenly been enlightened.

"Father, this is a great idea! I have learned my lesson. I will definitely ask the Emperor to grant me a marriage at the celebration banquet tonight!"

On the one hand, she doesn't have to be an enemy of Xie Lin, and on the other hand, she can make Xie Lin willing to work for her and her son, thus achieving the best of both worlds.

The queen hadn't felt so happy and relaxed for a long time.

She said, "When the Third Prince broke off the engagement, he certainly didn't expect Chu Heyi to be so difficult to deal with. Father's move not only helped his daughter get rid of two powerful enemies, but also created a strong enemy for the Third Prince and his men."

Dongfang Ye frowned and said, "Mother, Grandfather, I don't agree."

The Grand Tutor and the Queen both looked at him in surprise.

"The Xie family is rich enough to rival a country, the Chu family has 300,000 soldiers and is very popular in the northern border. Moreover, Chu Heyi and Xie Lin have done so many useful things for the people, and the people love them very much...

"If the two of them join forces, even if I ascend the throne in the future, I will not have the final say in Da Qi. They will definitely control the government and want me to obey them. This is terrible."

The Grand Tutor and the Queen looked at each other and felt that Dongfang Ye had grown up and what he said made some sense.

Dongfang Ye said, "I want to personally ask for Chu Heyi's hand in marriage. She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei and the sister of a first-rank general. The Chu family has military merits and military power. Her status is worthy of being the Crown Princess."

The Grand Tutor and the Queen looked at each other again and felt that the Prince's idea was feasible.

Dongfang Ye continued, "As for Xie Lin, he has just been promoted to the position of Tingwei, and he has also asked the court for a loan. Such an action will certainly offend countless dignitaries, and his official career is doomed to be difficult. I will help him from time to time, so that he and I can become brothers. Are you still afraid that he will not serve me in the future?"

The Grand Tutor couldn't help but praise him: "Your Highness has grown up and learned to think about the pros and cons. I think your Highness's idea is very good and it can be done in this way."

The Queen also agreed: "Chu Heyi becomes Ye'er's Crown Princess, and the Zhenbei Marquisate will be used by Ye'er. And if Xie Lin can become a 'brother' with Ye'er, that would be great.

"If you can't, use Chu Heyi to contain him. Chu Heyi risked his life for him several times. He will compromise for Chu Heyi again and again. My prince, you just need to wear down Chu Heyi, and Xie Lin will definitely be at your service."

Dongfang Ye said: "At the celebration banquet tonight, I will ask my father to grant me and Chu Heyi a marriage."

The queen chuckled, "The royal family already owes the Zhenbei Marquisate a marriage. The harm that the third prince has caused to Chu Heyi of the Zhenbei Marquisate, my son, you should make up for it. Your father will be proud to have a prince like you."

Dongfang Ye was waving a fan with an elegant posture and a determined look.

After the three of them agreed, they dispersed and prepared for the celebration banquet later.

Because Chu Heyi solved the huge flood problem in Shengjing City, she and Sang Nong were invited to the palace to attend the celebration banquet tonight.

In other words, tonight's celebration banquet is not only prepared for Dongfang Shuo and his wife, but also for Chu Heyi and Sang Nong.

She entered the palace with Sang Nong and met Dongfang Shuo and his wife head-on. She felt it was unlucky, but still went forward and paid her respects politely.

Don't let the other party find fault with you in any way.

Dongfang Shuo and his wife did not know that Chu Heyi and Sang Nong were also attending the celebration banquet tonight. They only thought that Chu Heyi came to the palace at this time to deliberately divert the emperor's attention from them.

With new and old grudges added together, Dongfang Shuo looked at Chu Heyi with eyes suddenly filled with anger and hatred.

"It's been so long since Miss Heyi returned to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, but her manner of greeting is still so bad? Or does Miss Heyi not take Xue'er and I seriously and is doing this on purpose?"

Dongfang Shuo took advantage of the situation and said, "It's okay to be rude in front of me. But when you enter the palace, you will inevitably meet other nobles. You will be punished if you bump into them."

Dongfang Shuo pointed to a corner not far away and said, "Go there and kneel until dark. Practice how to kneel and salute."
