After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 260 Who is your fiancée?
During this period, Xiao Xuetang was a prominent figure in Kyoto. News spread everywhere in the streets and alleys that this young lady Xiao had single-handedly sued her own father, imprisoned her second uncle, angered her grandmother to death, and almost caused the huge Yong'an Marquisate to be stripped of its title.
It's simply a disaster!
The Queen Mother and the Empress suddenly mentioned her name at the palace banquet. The ladies attending the banquet today couldn't help but talk about it in a low voice with a look of contempt on their faces.
The Southern Xinjiang envoys exchanged glances, and the envoy Feng Xing spoke up, "Who is the evil star that the Queen is talking about?"
"To be honest, we from Southern Xinjiang are on a mission to Dayin this time to find a woman with a special fate as the prince's princess. I just heard from the queen and the ladies that the woman is very similar to the one we are looking for in Southern Xinjiang. I wonder if the queen can introduce her to someone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became subtle...
Wen Zhiyuan, a scholar from the cabinet, reminded the Southern Xinjiang envoys, "Your Excellency, our Great Yin is a great country with countless women of both talent and beauty. Why do you have to ask about that disaster star?"
But the envoy from Southern Xinjiang seemed to be arguing. He smiled and said, "Master Wen is wrong. As the saying goes, oranges grown in the north are bitter. This Miss Xiao was a disaster in Kyoto. Maybe she will be a lucky star when she comes to Southern Xinjiang."
Everyone looked at each other for a while...
This time, Nanjiang came to Kyoto, led by Prince Jiumo, the most favored prince of the King of Nanjiang, but after arriving in Kyoto, he took the initiative to propose a marriage. If Dayin and Nanjiang were to marry, it would be a good thing, but the Ministry of Rites drafted several noble ladies from aristocratic families with both talent and beauty for selection, but Nanjiang rejected them all.
Now, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother just mentioned it casually, but the people of Southern Xinjiang would be so interested in the disaster star of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion that has already declined...
If Xiao Xuetang married to Southern Xinjiang in exchange for the contract being finalized, that would be fine too.
Everyone thought so, but no one said it out loud first.
Only Wen Zhiyuan immediately whispered: "If we can marry Xiao Xuetang to Southern Xinjiang, it can be exchanged for peace talks between the two countries and an annual tribute of 100,000 taels of gold from Southern Xinjiang. It can be regarded as a win-win situation."
Now that the Marquis of Yong'an has been exiled, Xiao Xuetang is just an orphan. It is her blessing to be able to marry to Southern Xinjiang for Dayin!
He was so proud of himself that he thought it was a brilliant plan, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Third Prince Lin Shaoshu, who was sitting in the first seat, looking at him with cold eyes and a very ugly expression.
Wen Zhiyuan was startled and suddenly realized that Xiao Xuetang had been engaged to the third prince!
It does not seem to be a glorious thing for the third prince's ex-fiancée to marry into southern Xinjiang as a foreign mission.
But he heard that it was Xiao Xuetang who took the initiative to propose to the Third Prince to cancel the engagement. Marrying Xiao Xuetang to a distant place would not only get rid of the thorn in the eye, but also vent his anger. Isn't this a good thing to have the best of both worlds?
Seeing Lin Shaoshu's ugly face, Lin Shaoyu, who was released from house arrest today and had long been fed up with Lin Shaoshu's limelight, gloated and said, "The envoy really has good taste. Although Xiao Xuetang was once rejected by my third brother and has a bad reputation, she is a stunning beauty. Even if the prince marries her as a concubine, he will be very lucky."
At this point, Lin Shaoyu burped.
The Prince of Southern Xinjiang, who was originally sitting expressionless, had a hint of interest in his eyes when he heard that Xiao Xuetang was a great beauty...
Before he came to Kyoto, he had heard that the women in Dayin were as beautiful as flowers, but what he had seen these days were all mediocre girls, which made him very disappointed.
They in Southern Xinjiang are not as old-fashioned as Dayin. Fame or not is not important at all, as long as they are beautiful!
Emperor Yonghui didn't expect that Nanjiang suddenly talked about Xiao Xuetang and even wanted to marry her. Before he could react, he heard Lin Shaoyu's inappropriate words and his face turned pale.
"The prince is drunk, help him down to rest."
"Yes."
Jiang Yinghe, who was beside Emperor Yonghui, hurriedly went to help the prince leave. The empress, who had been complacent, looked a little ugly.
The prince was under house arrest for these days, and even the diplomatic envoys who came to Kyoto were received by Lin Shaoshu.
Tonight, the Crown Prince was finally released from house arrest, but after he said just a few words, Emperor Yonghui ordered his men to drag the Crown Prince away. This made the foreign envoys look down on the Eastern Palace!
The queen's face was very ugly. However, the envoys from southern Xinjiang seemed to be unable to read people's faces. They came forward and said to the queen, "Your Majesty, you are the mother of the country. Could you introduce my prince to me?"
The Queen did not dare to resent Emperor Yonghui, and instead transferred her anger onto Xiao Xuetang.
Thinking that both the Marquis' Mansion and the Xie Family have been defeated now, it would be better to marry that bitch Xiao Xuetang to far away in Southern Xinjiang, out of sight, out of mind!
I heard that the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang have endless ways of torturing people. With Xiao Xuetang's body, he might die on the way to Southern Xinjiang...
Thinking of this, a trace of vicious light flashed in the Queen's eyes. She ignored the cold face of Emperor Yonghui and said, "If the prince is interested, I will hold a flower viewing banquet in the back garden in a few days, and then I will let you meet Xiao Xuetang..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the palace gate: "Fengxing, if you want to see my fiancée, just come to me directly. Why bother with so much trouble?"
Hearing this voice, everyone felt that the temperature in the inner hall had inexplicably dropped by several degrees, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.
Lin Xun was seen wearing a dark brocade robe, with a ferocious lion mask on his face. His eyes were cold and gloomy, and he looked like a Rakshasa in the night.
Fengxing was sitting, but when he met those emotionless black eyes, his legs suddenly felt weak and his head felt cold.
After Lin Xun came in, he glanced at Fengxing nonchalantly and said, "Oh, it seems that General Fengxing's leg has been repaired?"
"Fortunately, General Feng Xing's legs were broken on the battlefield. If your brother's head had been broken by me like your brother's, I don't know if it could have been reattached."
His voice was cold and eerie, carrying a chilling chill.
He had been talking loudly and proudly at the table today, but when he heard Lin Xun's words, his face turned pale and then blue.
The person Fengxing hates the most in his life is Lin Xun, and the person he fears the most is also Lin Xun!
He managed to escape death from Lin Xun's hands that year, but every time he dreamed, he dreamed of Lin Xun dressed in black, like an evil ghost, and cutting off his brother's head with a sword in the army...
That man is not a human being, he is a devil!
After Lin Xun came in, Southern Xinjiang became stronger. Although today was Dayin's home court, the morale of Dayin was low, and the Third Prince and the Eastern Palace were fighting fiercely. Today, the court officials were all acting like Bishanguan, and even intentionally or unintentionally let Southern Xinjiang occupy and take the initiative.
After today's dinner, even Emperor Yonghui, who usually had a good temper, was in a very bad mood.
He was not a wise emperor, but he knew the principle of unity against foreign enemies. However, his sons fought against each other without knowing the importance of the matter...
Until Lin Xun arrived, the situation suddenly turned around. Those who had just lost to Fengxing in the duel and had suppressed the generals all night straightened their backs when they saw Lin Xun.
At this moment, Lin Shaoshu, who had not spoken much all night, suddenly stood up...
He lost his sense of propriety and asked Lin Xun: "Uncle Wang, who is your fiancée?"
