Chapter 121

The vermilion gate was wide open, and the large courtyard was full of people kneeling to hear the decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the daughter of Yan's family is virtuous and virtuous, with a dignified character,.... She was specially appointed as the princess of Anyang, and she was given a hundred acres of land, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of silk, and she has the right to choose her husband and son-in-law. This is it."

After reading the bright yellow imperial decree, Mr. Xuanzhi handed it to a young woman with a beaded hairpin on her head.Although watching Yan Sihan's face turn whiter and paler under the reading of the imperial decree, but the eunuch Xuanzhi seemed to have not seen it, and only congratulated the Yan family.

Yan Sihan's face was extremely pale, and Prime Minister Yan, who was kneeling beside her, also looked unhappy.

Emperor Dongling made this decree suddenly after he was dismissed. Outsiders looked like he was trying to compensate the Yan family, but only the Yan family knew that Emperor Dongling was going to deal them another heavy blow.

The prime minister's position with real power was gone, and in exchange for a false princess, and according to the imperial decree just given, isn't the above-mentioned right to choose husband and son-in-law just to withdraw the marriage decree between Yan Sihan and Han Poli?
Yan Sihan looked at the red cloth strips hanging around the prime minister's mansion, which was a little dazzling.

But years of self-cultivation made Yan Sihan bite his lower lip tightly to take the imperial decree, thanked Emperor Dongling, and then lifted Prime Minister Yan up from the ground with the imperial decree in his hand.Even with a look of joy on his face, after Yan Sihan thanked Eunuch Xuanzhi, he threw down the entire courtyard full of people from the Yan family, and only supported Prime Minister Yan back to the study.

However, before stepping into the door of the study, Prime Minister Yan stroked Yan Sihan's hand, patted it lightly, and said wearily, "I never expected that you will suffer in the end."

Prime Minister Yan's words immediately caused the tears that Yan Sihan had been holding back in his eyes to stay.

I didn't care about self-cultivation anymore, Yan Sihan couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into Prime Minister Yan's arms, crying loudly, "Father, why did they want me to ruin it!"

Emperor Dongling first granted the marriage, then urged the marriage, and finally withdrew his will. This backlash didn't make Yan Sihan resentful, because she dared not be dissatisfied with Emperor Dongling.But Han Poli, Yan Sihan knew that Han Poli must have played a role in this will be withdrawn.

So if Yan Sihan wanted to hate, he also hated Han Poli.

When the marriage decree came out, it was hotly discussed in the city, and everyone in the capital knew that she would marry Han Poli.But now there is another decree, and everyone in the capital knows that Yan Sihan's engagement has been annulled, and she is a person who will be annulled even if the imperial decree is issued.

So Yan Sihan's reputation is gone.Even if she has a fresh title of princess on her head, she will be the laughing stock of the entire capital.

In the future, if Yan Sihan still wants to marry, he can only recruit a son-in-law or marry into a dilapidated family. Other high-ranking nobles will definitely not want a person whose reputation has been ruined.

A look of pity flashed in Yan Chengxiang's eyes, he stroked Yan Sihan's hair, his face was still tired.In fact, like Yan Sihan, he also has resentment in his heart.But he has left the court now, and it can be seen from today's morning court that he has lost power in the court.

"You don't need to marry Han Poli, if you enter their Han Mansion, you will be truly ruined. Han Poli is in the barracks, and Taifu Han is temporarily in the position of prime minister. Now the Han Mansion is on fire. "Prime Minister Yan pulled Yan Sihan out of his arms and wiped away the tears on her face. Now he can only say these comforting words. "Besides, Han Poli has already brought Jimo Xia Zhi to the barracks. Without him protecting you in the Han residence, I'm afraid you will become the laughing stock of the whole capital."

Yan Sihan was taken aback when he heard Prime Minister Yan's words.Looking at Prime Minister Yan with wide eyes, Yan Sihan suddenly remembered the scene he felt in the hall that day.

Han Poli didn't care about her at all, so he dared to ask the emperor to withdraw the engagement when the marriage decree had been given.He didn't even think about her situation, even if everyone in the capital knew that Han Poli would marry her, he would still regard a lady who was not as good as her in every way and cultivated in a famous family as a treasure.

The more she thought about it, Yan Sihan felt her heart getting colder.

Seeing that Yan Sihan's expression was wrong, Prime Minister Yan immediately showed a hint of worry, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he has someone outside, but it's useless to say these things now."

Prime Minister Yan didn't know what Yan Sihan was thinking in his heart, although at first he was full of pity for his daughter, but the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.There must have been something discussed between Han Poli and Emperor Dong Ling, otherwise, based on his understanding of Emperor Dong Ling, Emperor Dong Ling would not have withdrawn his will so easily.

From the regret at the beginning, Prime Minister Yan is only worried that he hasn't heard any news recently, and he doesn't know if something happened to Dong Ling these days.

How could Emperor Dong Ling withdraw as soon as he said he would withdraw, and why would he hastily withdraw the marriage decree now.

Men and women really think differently.

After listening to Prime Minister Yan's words, Yan Sihan raised his head and glanced at him, seeing that he was suddenly immersed in his own thoughts, with a final flash of determination in his eyes.

"Daddy, what you mean is that it's a good thing that I didn't marry into the Han family, right?"

"Hmm." Prime Minister Yan glanced at Yan Sihan with some doubts.

Clenching his fists tightly, Yan Sihan's lips curled into an ugly curve, "I see, it turns out that you all regard me as a victim of power."

"Jimo Xia Zhi, heh."

Yan Sihan pushed Prime Minister Yan hard, wiped away the tears, turned around and walked out the door.

Prime Minister Yan wanted to hold Yan Sihan back, but after thinking about it, she had better leave the matter to her.

So Prime Minister Yan didn't know where Yan Sihan wanted to go now, and what kind of absurd thoughts would pop up in his mind.

……

"bell."

A gorgeously decorated carriage drove out of the moat barracks, and the bells hanging on the eaves of the carriage made crisp sounds on the way.

The carriage is on the road that must be taken when entering the city, attracting passers-by's frequent glances.They are all wondering who is sitting in the car.

Xia Zhiyan was resting against the wall of the car with a white eye strap. If it weren't for her tightly clenched hands, Han Poli would definitely think that she was really leisurely.

"Don't worry, father is a very easy person to get along with." Han Poli looked at his handshake with Xia Zhi, his eyes filled with warmth.

Xia Zhi's calm face froze, and she with all her strength pulled her hand out of Han Poli's.Hiding in her sleeve, Xia Zhi said coldly, "I'm not worried."

She just couldn't figure out why Han Poli would bring her back to the Han Mansion at this time, or why would he take her to see Mrs. Han.

Xia Zhi didn't know much about Taifu Han, she only knew that Han Poli's father was the prince Taifu with a gentle temperament, and nothing else.So this kind of person who doesn't know very well about the person he is about to meet will cause Xia Zhi to feel a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

She was just upset about not having everything under control, definitely not nervous.

The smile in Han Poli's eyes became more obvious. Regardless of Xia Zhi's resistance, he took her hand again. Han Poli felt that he couldn't get enough of the person in front of him.

But thinking that he was going to the border in a few days, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.He knew that Xia Zhi still had things to do in the capital, so she would never go to the border with him.

But if this person doesn't stay by her side, if she meets her again, she will loot all the departments and leave traces behind, so who can protect her then?

"I grew up by my father's side since I was a child. Because my father's body is a bit weak, he specially invited a martial artist to teach me to strengthen my body. Later, when he heard that I was going to the military camp, he didn't stop me..."

Han Poli and Xia Zhi were sitting together in the carriage, deliberately slowing down their voices, and Han Poli briefly introduced Taifu Han to Xia Zhi.

While the two were talking in the car, the bell on the eaves of the car rang again.Then the carriage stopped, and the coachman told the people inside that he had arrived.

Han Poli jumped out of the car first, and when he saw a carriage parked at the gate of Han Mansion, Han Poli's eyes darkened suddenly.

Before Han Poli reached out, Xia Zhi got into the carriage supported by Bai Yi.

When Bai Yi touched Xia Zhi's hand, he was startled by the coldness of her hand and the wetness of her palm.Bai Yi hurriedly asked Xia Zhi to stand where she was first, and she ran to the carriage to give Xia Zhi a heater, "Miss, don't forget that you just caught a cold yesterday, and you haven't put the heater on yet, you want to scare the servant to death ?"

Bai Yi's exclamation made Han Poli frown slightly.A look of annoyance flashed in his eyes, Han Poli ignored the strange carriage, and only let Bai Yi go away, and he came to lead Xia Zhi forward.

But before the two entered the door, a young man dressed as a follower and an old nanny who had been by Chen Anru's side for a long time walked out of the Han residence.

The old nanny spoke first, "General, madam has been waiting for you inside the house for a long time. Why don't you go and say hello to madam first, after all, you two, mother and son, haven't spoken for a long time."

As soon as the words fell, the attendant responded very quickly, "General, your lord is waiting for you in the study."

Compared with the old mother's family card, the entourage seems to have come to pick up Han Poli at the door, instead of blocking people when Han Poli just returned home.

Xia Zhi could feel Han Poli's body froze slightly after the two of them had finished speaking.

Han Poli looked at the two people standing in front of him with heavy eyes, and said coldly, "Tell my mother, I will go to her place after I greet my father."

This kind of scene where both sides sent people to intercept each other was seen almost every day after Han Poli returned to the capital.But every time he goes to Taifu Han's study first, so this time is no exception.

The old mother was anxious when she heard Han Poli's refusal.In normal times, it doesn't matter when Han Poli goes to Chen Anru, he will come anyway.But today, Chen Anru has already stated that he must bring Han Poli there the moment he returns home.

Even Jimo Xia Zhi had to go there together.

"General, Ma'am has guests, and I need you to go there now."
