Since he guessed the intention of Emperor Chunqing's marriage, Xue Ao could no longer object.

After all, he is a bandit leader. The emperor rewarded him with his position and gave him a title when he was useful. He gave him a decent marriage. He dared to refuse. Who knows what the emperor would do? And Zhao Yanping's relatives are so well-in-come. If he learned that he didn't want to marry his daughter to the third master, what would Zhao Yanping think?

This pile of complex relationships is entangled, and Xue Ao can only respond.

But Xue Ao still fought for his daughter and knelt there and said to Emperor Chunqing: "Emperor, if my daughter can marry the Third Master and marry you as your granddaughter-in-law, that is really a blessing accumulated by our ancestors of the Xue family. It's just that it's not sweet. I'm willing to do it here. Your Highness, the Third Master, I don't know what I think. I'll ask the Emperor to ask the prince, especially the Third Master. If the Third Master is involved in the background of my ministers, I even look down on my ministers and don't like my ministers, Isn't it too pitiful?"

Imagine that my daughter was neglected by the third master, she was neither cared for by her husband nor could she ask for divorce, and was imprisoned in the same place all her life. Xue Ao was really sad and distressed, and the iron man, who was full of new injuries, showed a little aggrieved on his face.

Emperor Chunqing had already figured out the situation of the Xue family clearly and knew that Xue Ao was crazy outside, but in fact he was a man who was afraid that his wife would love his children and was very loyal.

At this time, Xue Ao made Emperor Chunqing think of the late Queen Xie.

The Crown Princess and the former Crown Prince's childhood sweetheart were young. Queen Xie didn't know who the Crown Prince was pretending to be? She knew that in order to consolidate the relationship between the imperial power and the Xie family, she still asked him for a marriage gift, and wanted to marry her niece to the prince she adopted.

The marriage of royal descendants is somewhat related to interests. Most parents and elders can ignore their children's ideas for the sake of interests. Only a few can do this, and will consider whether their children are willing or not.

Emperor Chunqing nodded and smiled and said to Xue Ao: "Well, what you said is right. I will ask the third brother, I am interested in your sister Ning. If the third brother doesn't want to, I will give Ning Jieer to the crown prince."

Xue Ao's heart tightened.

The prince of the Eastern Palace already has a prince's concubine. If the third prince does not want to marry a daughter, his daughter can only be the prince's concubine! If the concubine is not a concubine, he will never have much harmony in the relationship between the prince's favorite concubine Zhao. His daughter is a relative of Zhao. If he really becomes the prince's daughter-in-law, can he have good results?

Xue Ao hates why he talks too much. As long as he just responds, the emperor has his own way to get the third master to agree. The third master has to be willing to do it even if he doesn't want to. His daughter will have a position of a wife when she marrys the third master, but now...

Looking at Emperor Chunqing's dragon robe, Xue Ao finally understood what it means to be with the king like a tiger. It seems that he wants to promote you and use you more, but talking and laughing can make you restless.

"I thank you for your kindness." As if I swallowed a mouthful of coptis chinensis, Xue Ao was so bitter that he couldn't say anything.

Emperor Chunqing asked him to retreat, and at the same time asked Eunuch Gao to call the prince and his son over.

When Xue Ao heard this, he felt that Emperor Chunqing did it on purpose. He asked Emperor Chunqing to give it to him, but there was still a cruelty in this Emperor.

Xue Ao didn't dare to leave. He had to coax the third master of the East Palace to agree, otherwise his daughter would be pointed out by Emperor Chunqing to be a concubine of the Crown Princess's son, and his wife wouldn't tear his mouth even if she got home!

Xue Ao was waiting outside the imperial study room. When the eunuch saw him, he secretly reported it to Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Gao would report it to Emperor Chunqing again.

Emperor Chunqing reviewed the memorial without raising his head, but the smile patterns on both sides of his mouth deepened.

Soon, the prince and his son came over.

When Xue Ao saw it, he ran over from afar, first saluted the prince, and then said to Xiao Lian directly: "Third Master, I am Xue Ao, the newly appointed Marquis of Zhenbei, the emperor, and the uncle of your uncle Zhao Yanping. My daughter Xue Ning is as beautiful as a flower, dignified, virtuous, understanding and talented as a famous person. The emperor has heard of this and wants to betroth her to you as your wife. Do you think it's okay?"

The prince raised his eyebrows. Xue Ao was really outspoken and arrogant.

Xiao Lian naturally knew who Xue Ao was. After hearing Xue Ao's words, Xiao Lian inexplicably thought of the row of window holes on his aunt's embroidery shop. Yesterday, the army was triumphant, and the aunt wanted to see General Xue Ao. All my aunts had gone, and Xue Ao's wife and children must have gone, and there must be a hole in the row of window holes that Xue Ning poked.

How dignified can Xue Ning be like this?

A Crown Princess is so dignified that she can’t make any mistakes in every word or action.

But Xiao Lian didn't want to marry such a dignified woman.

He had never met Xue Ning, but since the emperor's grandfather wanted to give him this marriage, there were considerations from the emperor's grandfather. Besides, Xue Ning had a relative relationship with the Zhao family, Xiao Lian was not incompatible with this marriage.

"The Marquis is waiting here for this?" Xiao Lian looked at his father and asked Xue Ao.

Xue Ao nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Lian asked back: "Does the Marquis hope I agree, or..."

"Of course I hope you agree. You see, you have a noble status and look so handsome. My daughter can marry you. It is a blessing she has cultivated in three lifetimes!" Xue Ao interrupted Xiao Lian's words and slapped Xiao Lian with a long list of dragon grandfathers at a rapid speed.

Xiao Lian understood and looked at his father beside him with instructions.

Xue Ao then remembered that the prince's opinion was also very important in this marriage, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the prince, and just looked at the prince with a flattering look.

The prince said indifferently: "If the marquis asks to see the emperor for no reason, it is better not to stay outside the imperial study room for a long time."

After saying that, the prince took the lead.

Xiao Lian smiled at Xue Ao and followed his father.

Xue Ao looked at the backs of the father and son and suddenly gritted his teeth.

What is this? It was originally the emperor begging him to marry his daughter, but in a few words, he had to beg the third master to marry his daughter!

Without a result, Xue Ao could not leave with peace of mind. Anyway, no one came out to chase him, so he continued to wait outside the imperial study room.

The prince and his son came out soon.

The prince was about to go back to the cabinet, but he left without looking at Xue Ao. Xue Ao stared at Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian walked to him and called his father-in-law in a low voice.

Xue Ao instantly laughed out loud.

Xiao Lian did not expect that this bandit marquis, who did not take the famous family seriously, was so satisfied with him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Chunqing issued two imperial edicts. The first was to grant the third son of the crown prince Xiao Lian as Duan County Prince and grant the Duan County Prince's Mansion. The second imperial edict was to grant the marriage to Xue Ning, the daughter of Zhenbeihou, as the princess of Duan County, and to choose an auspicious day to get married.

The first imperial edict is nothing. The East Palace is not big. Except for the prince's family, the princess' family will always follow the prince. The prince's concubine lives in the East Palace. The prince's other sons will move out after getting married. The second master Xiao Shuo made Prince Gong go out two years ago. This year it is the third master's turn. When the fourth master grows up and gets married, he will still move out of the palace.

The officials were surprised by the candidates for Princess Duan County.

Many officials have guessed what Xue Ao could guess, including the Marquis of Yongping and the wife of Yongping.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongping was very dissatisfied with Emperor Chunqing's decree for marriage. What did the prince spoil the Zhao family? Two sons and one daughter. Now Emperor Chunqing also praised Xue Ao to add help to Zhao's mother. Is the old emperor confused? He insisted on throwing two stumbling blocks on the prince's future path?

The wife of the Marquis of Yongping could not swallow this, so she complained to the Marquis of Yongping at night, asking the Marquis of Yongping to think of a solution.

The Marquis of Yongping is already sixty years old. Emperor Chunqing is so long that he might have to walk in front of Emperor Chunqing, and he can't even see the prince ascends the throne, let alone the prince ascends the throne?

The far-reaching Marquis Yongping didn't want to worry about anything, but his wife was thinking about it here so that he couldn't sleep well. The Marquis Yongping had to analyze the situation in the court for his wife: "The emperor is not trying to throw a stumbling block for the prince, but paving the way for the prince. Didn't you see that the Fan family made another military contribution this time? Fan Yi led 100,000 troops in the northwest. The emperor praised Xue Ao, just to ask Xue Ao to support the prince and use this to shock the party of King Huai, so as not to cause chaos when the prince ascends the throne in the future."

Mrs. Yongping Hou didn't believe it: "Why did the emperor insist on raising Xue Ao for so many military generals? I think he is a child who is biased towards Zhao!"

Marquis Yongping shook his head and said, "You don't understand, you insist on being smart. Xue Ao made great achievements in the Northern Expedition this time, and many soldiers obeyed him. If something really happened, maybe he could only dare, and he could fight the Fan family to the death. This is Xue Ao's ability to be a general. Secondly, the Xue family has a shallow foundation in the capital, and Xue Ao has only one son. When the prince settles in the court and it is the turn of the prince to compete for power with his three younger brothers, Xue Ao is old. He has a marquis and no military power. How can he suffer from foreign relatives?"

Mrs. Yongping Hou was stunned. Is this actually the case?

The Marquis of Yongping sighed, "You should rest quickly. The emperor lives long and the prince is in his prime. When the prince is old, we will be buried long ago. The descendants will have their own blessings. What's the use of worrying about so much?"

Mrs. Yongping was unwilling to accept it. What she had saved when she married her daughter to King Xuan was to let her be the queen and stay in the queen's heart. Now there is the vixen Zhao who is confused by the prince. How can she feel at ease?

"You didn't give birth to a child, so of course you can let it go." As he lay down, Mrs. Yongping whispered to her husband.

Yongping Hou looked at the roof and smiled bitterly.

My wife couldn't let go, but could she get involved in the royal affairs? She wasn't it just a mediocre person who disturbed her.

The second day of the wedding was a rest. Gillian and Zhao Yanping brought Meng Zhao and Chu Jin to visit their uncle.

Without issuing a marriage grant, Gillian really only wanted to meet her uncle who had not seen for three years. But after hearing about the marriage grant, everyone's mind was on this marriage. Emperor Chunqing's real intention Zhao Yanping had already analyzed and speculated for Gillian. Since it was the emperor's intention, the marriage must not be changed. The couple cared about the wishes of a young couple.

Gillian first talked to her aunt alone.

Meng was in a complicated mood, but unfortunately her family had no right to choose. Fortunately, her daughter married Prince Duan instead of being a concubine for the prince.

"Your uncle told me that he saw the prince. After seeing the emperor come out, the prince called him father-in-law, who was polite and seemed to be very satisfied with the marriage, unlike being forced." Meng said to Ajiao with emotion, "The prince has never seen Sister Ning, I guess, he is so polite, he is giving you face to Yanping."

Gillian only saw Prince Duan through the window the day before yesterday. She was handsome and had a warm and gentle look between her eyebrows. She was not as noble as the prince, nor was she too calm and restrained as Zhao Yanping, but she was difficult to get close to. Maybe she followed Miss Xiangyun?

How will Prince Duan treat Xue Ning? Not to mention A Jiao's aunt, even Zhao Yanping's uncle, cannot guarantee that the relationship between men and women is often the most unreasonable. Likes are likes, and not happy is not happy. It has nothing to do with the family background, appearance, and talent of both men and women, and sometimes it is even just a glance.

Gillian could only choose what she wanted and said: "Jess Ning is beautiful, lively and cute. When the prince of the county sees her, he will definitely like it."

Meng was even more worried: "What kind of liveliness is that it is ignorant. Our family spoiled her. If she married into the royal family, being lively would be like causing trouble."

Gillian said, "You are concerned about it and it's a mess. My uncle is not abiding by the rules, but he hasn't caused any big trouble in the capital for so many years. This means that my uncle is clear-headed and knows what he can do and what he can't do. The same is true for Sister Ning. Of course, she will do whatever she wants at home. When she goes outside, she will naturally judge the situation, including us, isn't it all?"

Meng looked at her niece and suddenly felt that her niece's words were very reasonable.

Gillian patted her hand and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go see Sister Ning, I won't tell you anymore."

Meng nodded.

Xue Ning was in the boudoir, and was bored because she couldn't go out casually after getting engaged. Seeing Ah Gillian, Xue Ning happily greeted her: "Cousin is here, where is Chu Jin?"

Gillian said, "I'm playing in front of you. If you don't mention her, you're going to be the princess of the county. Are you happy?"

Xue Ning's face turned red.

If she hadn't seen Xiao Lian, she would probably be worried that the man she married would be ugly. But that day the prince and his party went out of the city to welcome the triumphant army. Xiao Lian rode a horse and passed by her twice. Xue Ning could see clearly that he was a very handsome person.

Xue Ning felt that there was nothing to choose from.

Oh, not right...

"How happy? I originally called your cousin and brother-in-law. When I married the prince, I would talk about relatives from there, and I was shorter than white." Xue Ning pouted, to hide his satisfaction with this marriage.

Gillian could naturally see that her cousin was willing to marry, so she breathed a sigh of relief. The rest depends on the prince's attitude towards her cousin.

"Silly sister, you married, and you spent most of the time in the Prince's Mansion. You can't see us a few times a year. What are you worried about?" Jiao Gillian sat next to Xue Ning and said, "As for me and my uncle and aunt, what do you call me before and what you still call me later, you can live with the Prince with peace of mind."

Xue Ning bit his lip and said, "He signed the prince and left the palace to live. We are outside the palace, can the rules be relaxed, right?"

A Jiao thought for a while and said, "Well, I heard that Princess Huai, Princess Jian often invites the female family members of the mother to visit, and they will also go to their parents' home to attend banquets. The rules must be more relaxed than in the palace. But it depends on your relationship with the prince. You should discuss with him in advance what you do. Once he agrees, you can do it."

Xue Ning was relieved. She didn't want to live like Miss Xiangyun. Every year, only Gongyan could see her family from afar, and Liu. Since she couldn't see her daughter, she even had to hide behind the window hole and look at her secretly.

"By the way, cousin, when I get married, I will invite you to visit the Prince's Mansion, so that my aunt can have a good chat with the Prince!" Xue Ning suddenly suggested.

Gillian smiled: "You are kind-hearted, let's talk about it then, see if the prince is willing, or whether it is suitable or not."

The prince must know better than them what the royal family rules have.

Xue Ning snorted: "It would be fine if the rules were not allowed. If he didn't even want to see his own aunt or grandmother, he would not be worthy of me to like this."

So what if she is handsome, Xue Ning is not that superficial and has more valued character!
