Chapter 1: Engagement (1)
Chapter 1 Engagement (1)
In the spring of the 210th year of Xiliang, Xuanyu, the prince of Zhongshan, led his army to the north. With 30,000 elite soldiers, he swept away 100,000 cavalry in the northern region, successfully ending the seventeen-year confrontation between the two countries.
The Northern Territory surrendered, and since then it has regarded itself as a subject.
Early winter, Xuan Yu's class teacher returns to court.
Emperor Long Yan was very happy, granted him the seal of the Great General, and hosted a banquet, and all the officials congratulated him.
Taiye Poolside.
The palace lanterns are flickering, and the lake is sparkling.
Where the brilliance intersects, the banquet is in full swing, and the singing of the night singers envelops the laughter of the monarch and his ministers. With the moonlight, it spreads all the way to the end of the banquet. There, a man in white sits cross-legged. On top of his head, the moonlight is bright and clear, matching the skin color on his neck. Yujie.
"Xuan Aiqing."
Hearing the emperor calling him, he stood up, flowing down like the moonlight and the Milky Way, meandering down from his elegant and straight body.
There were bursts of astonishing and gasping voices in the arena.
Unconsciously, he calmly walked down the path carved with white marble and came to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at everyone with a smile, and then his smiling eyes fell on his clear and jade-like face: "Xuan Aiqing, I have promised you that as long as you win the Northern Territory, I will promise you a request, What do you want?"
"Chen, I do have an unfeeling request."
This sound is deep and calm, like a jade stone stranded on the bottom of a stream.
The emperor smiled: "Say it quickly."
"Minister, I want to marry a good-looking daughter from the first line."
Everyone, including the emperor, their eyes lit up!
"To my younger brother Xuanyin."
Everyone: "..."
I was splashed with cold water all of a sudden!
If Xuan Yu is the man Xiliang women most want to marry, then his younger brother is the worst nightmare Xiliang women avoid like snakes and scorpions!
No talent, no virtue, no ability, not to mention, his appearance is also extremely ugly, what's more, his horoscope is too hard, and he killed three fiancees in a row. Now, no one with any dignity would dare to marry his daughter to him.
Xuan Yu didn't seem to care much about the silence he caused, paused, and said: "As a thank you, I am willing to marry another daughter from the other party's family."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes flickered.
Xuan Yu is famous for loving his younger brother, he would make such a big sacrifice for his younger brother, everyone is not very surprised, but—
Although the conditions he gave were attractive, it would be too cruel for one daughter's happiness to be fulfilled with another daughter's life!
Even if the father agrees, the mother is reluctant.
Unless, this daughter is not his own.
…
In the room as cold as ice, Ning Yue woke up from her sleep with a shiver.
"Hey, you said it's been a few days, why is Third Miss still awake?"
"If I were her, I would wish to be in a coma for the rest of my life. Who would be willing to marry a trash? I heard that the king of Yin County has killed three fiancées. Anyway, she will be dead after marrying, so it's better to stay at her mother's house like this .”
Third Miss? Prince Yin?
What are they talking about?
Ning Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at some familiar rooms, but she didn't realize where she was for a long time.
At this moment, she heard that voice that was obviously beautiful but made her feel harsh.
"After all, she is the emperor's own prince, why did she wrong her? She doesn't say anything about medicine jars, but she also has a crazy mother. In my opinion, if she can be the princess of the county, she should be smiling secretly in her dream!"
As soon as the voice fell, a stern woman's voice sounded outside the door: "Why are you arguing? Don't you have to work? I don't think the ashes on the stove have been wiped! If you don't talk about it for a day, you will be lazy! Take money and don't do anything. Eat dry food! Are you stupid? Still sticking? Go! Wipe the ashes clean, wash the dishes, and collect the clothes!"
