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

Dongfang Shuo immediately knocked over the wine jar beside him.

He really didn't expect that the woman whom he had broken off the engagement with in the past would be proposed to by the prince in the main hall of Minghua Palace today.

It’s incredible!

Extremely shocked, he looked at Chu Heyi and was surprised to find that Chu Heyi had been well taken care of in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion over the past year or so.

She shed her former dark, thin and skinny appearance and became a lady from a noble family with a slender figure, graceful figure and fair skin.

Moreover, she is the talented and beautiful daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Dongfang Shuo's heart seemed to be filled with mixed feelings and he couldn't tell what he felt.

Runxue was also shocked by the prince's behavior and did not notice Dongfang Shuo's reaction.

She was very perceptive and realized that the prince's proposal to marry Chu Heyi was a very powerful move.

Chu Heyi doesn't get along with them, but once she marries into the Eastern Palace, she will become the prince's helper.

When two already powerful forces are mixed together, they will become even more powerful and difficult to deal with.

On the one hand, Chu Heyi himself is very capable; on the other hand, behind Chu Heyi is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, which has an army of 300,000.

For a moment, Runxue's heart was pounding as if it was jumping into her throat. She nervously hoped that the emperor would not agree to this marriage!

But there was no reason for the emperor to refuse this marriage.

The crown prince is the heir to the throne and is raised by the emperor himself. In order for the crown prince to inherit the throne smoothly in the future and avoid national turmoil, the emperor will choose an excellent wife for the crown prince. It would be best if the crown princess's family can be of great help to the crown prince.

The Chu family has been loyal for hundreds of years and guards the northern border. Chu Heyi is indeed a good candidate for the Crown Princess.

Runxue's hands hidden in her wide sleeves slowly clenched.

He was annoyed that Marquis Shi'an's plan did not succeed in the past, otherwise how could the prince ask to marry Chu Heyi today?

It's true that if you lose at one step, you lose at every step!

"Your Majesty, this child Heyi looks like her father and her mother. I felt very close to her the first time I saw her, and I like her very much." The queen, who was sitting next to the emperor, spoke gently.

“Although this child grew up in the countryside and suffered a lot, she still did not change her ways or become magnanimous. She did not get angry when King Cheng humiliated her.

"Most importantly, she cares about the people of Daqi. Such a virtuous and kind person is really rare. It is normal for Ye'er to fall in love with such a girl at first sight. I beg the emperor to help them."

The emperor was considering.

The Queen continued, "Your Majesty, I remember one more thing."

The emperor looked at her.

The Queen then said, “Back then, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei sacrificed herself to save Concubine Zheng, and the two families arranged a marriage. Unfortunately, Prince Cheng later married another girl, which let down the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion and Miss Heyi.

"Although King Cheng and his men compensated the Zhenbei Marquisate with gold, silver and land, how can a good marriage be compensated with gold, silver and land? Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying among the people that 'it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage'.

"But then again, Prince Cheng is a child of the royal family. The favor he owes to Concubine Zheng is what our royal family owes. Now that I have fulfilled Ye'er's request, it can be regarded as repaying the favor of Lady Zhenbei Marquis for saving my life.

"Besides, I'm not bragging, but Ye'er is the heir chosen by Your Majesty. He is the most noble person in the world besides Your Majesty. Miss Heyi can't find a better husband than our prince, right?"

The emperor nodded slightly: "The queen is right."

But he was still weighing the pros and cons. After all, it was a very important matter for the Crown Prince to marry a Crown Princess.

Before this, there were several girls who were waiting to be selected, but they had never been confirmed, and among these girls, Chu Heyi was not one.

Grand Tutor Yuan Guanyu stood up and knelt in the center of the hall. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is talented, virtuous and honest; and Miss Heyi is extraordinary in appearance and intelligent. In my humble opinion, the Crown Prince and Miss Heyi are a perfect match made in heaven. I hope Your Majesty will help them to be together."

The emperor's gaze shifted from the Taifu to Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi was first loved at first sight by the prince, and then recognized by the mother of a country and the current imperial tutor. It seems that there will be no problem for her to become the crown princess.

After much deliberation, the emperor felt that it was okay to appoint Chu Heyi as the Crown Princess. The Zhenbei Marquisate controlled 300,000 troops in the northern border and had guarded the northern border for generations, so there was no need to doubt their loyalty.

Chu Heyi was canonized as the Lady of Cheng'an County and rewarded with ten thousand gold coins. She also took the initiative to use the ten thousand gold coins to give extra meals to the water workers. Such a virtuous and generous person is truly rare.

If there is such a person accompanying and assisting the crown prince a hundred years later, Da Qi will continue to grow stronger.

The emperor opened his mouth and prepared to grant the marriage.

At this moment, Chu Heyi stood up from his seat and quickly knelt in the center of the hall. Before he even knelt down, he had already said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

The emperor's words were blocked. He frowned slightly and looked at Chu Heyi with confusion and displeasure.

The prince requested a marriage, and there was a girl who refused?

The reactions of the Crown Prince, the Queen, and the Grand Tutor were the same as the Emperor's.

They thought this was a great thing for Chu Heyi, and she would be so happy that she would never refuse.

So at this moment, everyone looked at Chu Heyi in astonishment, with displeasure in their eyes.

The best thing she could have said was not to refuse the prince's request for marriage!

Chu Heyi took a deep breath and finally came back to her senses from the prince's request for marriage. She was shocked by the prince's request just now.

In her previous life, she lived to the age of twenty-six. She had always walked side by side with Xie Lin, fighting against the wind and snow, protecting the elderly, the weak, women and children below. She had never married and had never thought about getting married.

Therefore, she really had never thought that if she did not take the initiative to marry, there would be someone who would take the initiative to marry her, not to mention that this person was the current Crown Prince.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for someone to take the initiative to marry her. Even if he doesn't like her, he will be attracted by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind her, and now he can also be attracted by her identity as the Princess of Cheng'an County.

Or he might take a fancy to the people she has, such as Sang Nong who is good at water conservancy, or Song Ju who is good at horse training... Or he might take a fancy to Xie Lin who has outstanding abilities and has a good relationship with her!

It was that feeling again, "an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure". Chu Heyi didn't like it and even felt angry.

Dongfang Ye is the Crown Prince and has seen so many beautiful women. How could he fall in love with a girl, the daughter of a marquis, at first sight?

She knew very well that she was not so beautiful as to overwhelm the whole country.

The emperor said angrily: "Princess Cheng'an, do you know what you are talking about?"

Dongfang Ye was the crown prince he had chosen and an outstanding child he recognized. Even if the prince did something wrong, only the emperor could blame him and despise him.

Others cannot do this and are not qualified to do so.

Even if the prince proposed to her, Chu Heyi had no right to refuse.

Chu Heyi subconsciously touched Xie Lin's jade pendant, but she hid it in her lapel and it was not appropriate to take it out at this time, so she stopped.

"I grew up in the countryside. I am grateful to the Crown Prince for his love and for wanting to marry me. I am extremely happy, but I am too vulgar to be a Crown Princess. I am afraid that I will not be able to be a Crown Princess and bring shame to the Crown Prince and the royal family. Therefore, I ask the Crown Prince to choose another beautiful woman."
