I was a prince in ancient times

"What wedding?"

It's no wonder that Xie Anlan was confused, it's because the original owner didn't have many memories for him, and the time of time travel was short, so his reaction was still a bit slow for a while.

"Your Highness forgot, last month the Holy Order bestowed a marriage on Marquis Weiyuan's daughter, and it happened to be an auspicious day tomorrow."

Xie Anlan's forehead was full of headaches, the palace was too poor and owed a lot of foreign debts, and now they actually told him that there was another marriage.

With the palace in ruins like this, it doesn't look like a married man, like he just ransacked the house...

Before Xie Anlan's thoughts settled down, out of the corner of her eyes, she could see dark red silk cloth hanging in every corner of the palace. Since the color was not bright, it looked inconspicuous and was easily overlooked.

Is this... for marriage?

The old man followed Xie Anlan's gaze away, his eyes were not natural, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, the palace has been struggling to make ends meet in recent years, and the old slave really can't prepare a decent wedding. Just after getting married, the old slave had the cheek to ask the housekeeper of Cui's house for these red silks to add to the celebration."

Xie Anlan twitched the corners of his mouth, took two steps back, and looked at the entire palace. He really couldn't see that the palace was half festive, but there was an indescribable weirdness about it.

Especially the dark red lanterns hanging under the eaves, you can see the broken side as soon as the wind blows, which adds a bit of weirdness.

Are you sure this way, the bride won't be scared away?

"Uncle Fu, can this marriage be withdrawn?" Xie Anlan asked after searching the old man's name in his memory.

This marriage is impossible, who is Marquis Weiyuan?That is the general who guards the Yanhe area now, and the whole dynasty depends on him to live.

And the original owner's reputation has long been notorious, and now that the palace has such a virtue, wouldn't it be pushing his daughter into the fire pit.

If Weiyuanhou knew this, if he led his troops to surrender to the enemy in a fit of anger or simply gave up resistance, wouldn't the dynasty be completely over.

Uncle Fu was shocked by Xie Anlan's words, and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness, you can't do this. The imperial decree has been issued, and now you are renouncing the engagement, which is disrespectful, and this...isn't it the same as slapping Wei Yuanhou in the face?"

After Uncle Fu finished speaking, he looked at Xie Anlan with a face full of fear, fearing that Xie Anlan would really do something like divorce.

"Then Marquis Weiyuan is willing to let his daughter marry into my Prince Chen's mansion to suffer?" Xie Anlan smiled wryly, this marriage is a trap no matter how you look at it.

Uncle Fu was surprised, he didn't expect the prince himself to know that it would be hard for a princess to marry into the palace, he thought that the prince who was devoted to gambling had nothing else in his mind except gambling.

Uncle Fu's thoughts just flashed by, and he explained to Xie Anlan, "Your Highness, the princess is not the legitimate daughter of Lord Hou."

With just one sentence, Xie Anlan understood that the one who wanted to marry him was just a concubine under the name of his wife, no wonder Marquis Weiyuan would agree to this marriage.

After all, no matter how bad the original owner is, he is still a prince, and it is already a great honor for a concubine to become a princess.

In his previous life, he was familiar with this kind of marriage, but Xie Anlan didn't have much resistance in his heart. Anyway, this kind of marriage didn't require any affection, so he didn't suffer any disadvantages if he just married someone as a decoration.

The most urgent thing is to think about how to solve the debt problem.

Xie Anlan doesn't like the feeling of being in debt, but making money requires capital and time, and he has neither the capital nor the time now...

The rustling sound of sweeping the floor echoed in front of the empty street, Xie Anlan looked at Uncle Fu's hunched back, and couldn't help asking in doubt, "Uncle Fu, is there really nothing left in the palace?"

This Uncle Fu has been a housekeeper in the palace since the original owner opened the mansion. It can be said that he knows more about the assets of the palace than the original owner, and the original owner's virtue is so... so he has no way out?

"What? What did the lord ask this old slave?" Uncle Fu was holding a broken broom, with one old ear, his voice was loud, and he looked like his ears were not working well.

"I said, is there any extra money in the palace?" Xie Anlan asked again in a loud voice helplessly.

"Oh, fish, the prince sold all the fish in the palace." Uncle Fu waved his hands and said seriously.

Xie Anlan frowned, "It's strange, Hao Duanduan suddenly became deaf."

While muttering, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child suddenly appeared at the end of Wangfu Avenue, wearing a blue brocade robe, looking rich and noble, looking around not far away with his head poking his head.

When he saw the two people at the gate of the Wangfu, his immature face was filled with joy, and he walked quickly to the Wangfu, still shouting, "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang."

Xie Anlan and Fu Bo turned around together.

"My son." Uncle Fu saluted, Xie Mingyi waved his hand and didn't care.

Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows and looked at the child in front of her. After thinking for a while, she said awkwardly, "Mingyi."

Xie Mingyi didn't care about Xie Anlan's unusual address, and excitedly took out a brand new IOU from the sachet hanging around his waist, and handed it to Xie Anlan, "Uncle Emperor, this is the note you signed with me last month. The 300 taels of IOU, the deadline has expired today, please repay the loan quickly, Uncle Huang."

Xie Anlan felt a dull pain in the forehead. It really means that Cao Cao will arrive, and Cao Cao will arrive. The child in front of him is none other than the prince of Huainan who lent money to the original owner.

Seeing that Xie Anlan was unmoved, Xie Mingyi's small face was almost wrinkled into a bun, "Uncle, in two days it will be my sister's wedding ceremony. As a younger brother, I have to prepare a gift for my sister. My monthly bill for this year It's all here with the emperor, if I don't give the gift, my parents will punish me."

After Xie Mingyi finished speaking, he quietly looked at Xie Anlan's face. In fact, he was not afraid of punishing him. At most, his mother would punish him for copying books and kneeling in the ancestral hall. What he was afraid of was letting his mother know that he still had contacts with the emperor's uncle.

Xie Anlan sighed softly. He also wanted to return the money to the other party. You can't owe money to a child if you owe anyone money. It's a pity that he doesn't have three taels of silver on him, let alone 300 taels.

"That...my nephew, can you give the emperor two more days." Facing Xie Mingyi's clear black and white eyes, Xie Anlan blushed slightly and said something that made him feel ashamed.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Mingyi's clear eyes were instantly clouded with tears, and he choked up with grievances, "Uncle Huang, you can't count your words!"

Xie Anlan was immediately at a loss. Borrowing money from a child would be enough to bully others, but not paying it back when it's due is really hard to tell.

Eyeballs moved, Xie Anlan squatted down and asked Xie Mingyi with a smile, "Mingyi, do you have any money with you?"

Xie Mingyi's eyes were full of tears that hadn't fallen for a moment, and his small face looked at Xie Anlan in surprise, as if he was thinking how could Xie Anlan have such a thick skin!

Being looked at by a child like this, Xie Anlan couldn't bear the shame, but there was no way, if you want to earn money, you must have capital, even if you are begging, you have to buy a special broken bowl.

"Mingyi, you only need to lend another tael to the emperor, and the emperor promises to pay back your 300 taels before dark today!"

Xie Mingyi immediately shook his head like a rattle, he had already been fooled by the emperor's uncle twice, and if he was fooled again, it would be different from a fool.

Seeing Xie Mingyi's refusal, Xie Anlan simply squatted down to reason with him, "Look, Mingyi, you want Uncle Huang to pay back the money, and Uncle Huang also wants to pay you back, but Uncle Huang has no money to pay back, but as long as you borrow Give Uncle Huang a tael of silver, is there a [-]% chance that Uncle Huang will pay you back before dark, if you don't borrow it, there is no chance of even [-]%."

Xie Mingyi did the math and it seemed that this was really the case, so he nodded.

"Then Mingyi, do you want to lend money to Uncle Huang?"

"Don't borrow!"

Although Uncle Huang is right, as long as Uncle Huang borrows money, he won't.

Xie Anlan was a little frustrated, thought for a while and changed the method, "Mingyi, do you think you have to prepare a congratulatory gift for the emperor's uncle when he gets married tomorrow? Alright."

"However, my mother said that we juniors don't need to care about the etiquette of the elders. Only the peers give gifts to each other."

Xie Anlan, "..."

"Mingyi, you see that you are willing to lend all your monthly records to the emperor's uncle. Does this prove that there is an extraordinary relationship between you and the emperor's uncle? Did your mother tell you that you can make an exception if you have a special relationship? ?”

Xie Mingyi was silent for a long time, then took out the only one or two pieces of silver and Xie Anlan from the sachet just now, and reluctantly said, "Uncle Huang can't lie to me anymore."

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang promised you that he will never break his promise." Holding the hard-earned one tael of silver in his hand, Xie Anlan was deeply moved.

Although Xie Mingyi is a child, he was the first person to lend a helping hand to him in the most difficult time of this era.

After Xie Mingyi was sent away, Xie Anlan found Sheng'an Gambling House based on his memory with the only one tael of silver he had.

That's right, he thought that the fastest way to get money in this world is gambling, and only gambling can pay off Xie Mingyi's debt within one day.

Of course this requires an element of luck.

Xie Anlan didn't know if his luck was good or not, but he knew that the original owner's luck must be very unlucky, otherwise he wouldn't have ruined the huge palace.

After learning about the original owner's physique, Xie Anlan felt that there were more things that could be manipulated.

Just when Xie Anlan stepped into the gate of the gambling house, the tail behind him also disappeared.

At the same time, the Marquis of Weiyuan.

A gorgeous woman knelt on the ground, crying pear blossoms with rain, tears fell on the carpet of flowers, soaking a small trace, she kept kowtow to a dignified woman in the seat above, her smooth forehead soon appeared From the blood, it can be seen how powerful it is.

"I beg the mother to feel sorry for the daughter, and let the father call off the marriage. The daughter is willing to serve the two elders forever, and never marry for the rest of her life!"

As long as she thought about what the servant had just reported back, she deeply felt that this Prince Chen could not marry.

How could there be a prince who went to pick up the red silk used by others to get married, and the scene that the servants saw just now, that Prince Chen actually coaxed his nephew's money into gambling | the palace.

Everything told her that Prince Chen was not a good man, and when she thought that she would spend the rest of her life with such a person, she would rather not be this princess.
