concubines are respected

Chapter 127
"Tong'er, do you really want to?" Seeing that Zi Tong insisted on this, the emperor lowered his voice and reminded, "Da'an law, within three years after a consort gets married, no new recruits are allowed in the backyard. You are lucky, you have not married before, but first The concubine agreed."

Although he had this intention before, once he really put this matter before his eyes, the emperor still felt that he had lost his beloved daughter.

"Tong'er is willing. Father, don't worry, Tong'er has thought clearly, even if Tong'er should not appoint Lin Suxian as a concubine, there will still be new people in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion in the future. Instead of this, it is better to let go."

Saying that, Zitong glanced at Lin Suxian and Murong Haotian angrily, and said loudly, "Besides, after Tong'er enters the mansion, she will be the first wife. Under Tong'er, Tong'er will not be wronged!"

"Hey, you...you child, you are always so willful!" The emperor said helplessly.

"Haotian, you can hear me clearly. Tong'er is so reasonable, this matter is settled!" The emperor raised his voice and said to Murong Haotian.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not..." Murong Haotian shouted.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not obeying my orders!" Lin Suxian's voice sounded very abruptly.

"What? What did you say?" The emperor seemed not to believe his ears, staring at the calm Lin Suxian and shouted sharply, "Could it be that you still want to be a first wife?"

snort!In the world, there are such ignorant women!Annoyance surged in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood Minnv. Minnv is not delusional to be Mrs. Annanhou. Minnv just doesn't want to marry Annanhou." Su Xian said seriously, although she felt a little astringent when she said this, but Self-esteem does not allow her to compromise, and the concept of equality between men and women deep in her bones never allows her to serve a husband with others.If you can't be single-minded in this life, Suxian would rather die alone!
"You don't want to marry?" The emperor was slightly taken aback.

"Suxian..." Murong Haotian whispered anxiously, there was five points of disappointment in his voice, and three points of helplessness.

"Yes, Minnv does not want to marry Annan Hou. Your Majesty, Minnv has already said something before. The marriage contract between Minnv and Lord Hou is a joke made by my father and the old Lord back then. Yu Annanhou..." Suxian said with some seriousness.

"In this way, you don't like Yu Haotian. If I make a marriage arrangement for you, it seems that I will force you." The emperor said a little funny, and then he glanced at Murong Haotian, so An outstanding courtier, he never expected to be rejected by the daughter of a mere fifth-rank magistrate.It seems that there is indeed some truth to the saying that each flower is in each eye.

"Your Majesty is right, Minnv... Minnv doesn't like Marquis An Nan! So Minnv doesn't want to marry." Suxian applied again, but she didn't want to look up into Murong Haotian's eyes.

Murong Haotian's expression suddenly darkened, Suxian's words just now were like steel needles, piercing her heart with pain, she... she never fell in love with herself, could it be that everything that happened in the past was an illusion?Is the warm and undercurrent love between the two just my own thoughts?

Murong Haotian looked up at Suxian, but he saw that Suxian was avoiding his gaze.He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Suxian had no feelings for him, but... But she said it so decisively when facing the emperor...

Murong Haotian's thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately understood Suxian's thoughts, she didn't want to serve her husband with others, yes, it must be so.As for himself, how could he still be willing to marry a woman he didn't like as his wife?

However, the emperor didn't notice the two people's thoughts. Seeing Lin Suxian's firm attitude and Murong Haotian's thoughtful silence, he just regarded the matter as a foregone conclusion, and immediately said with a loud smile, "In this way, I will marry Zitong and Annan Hou, after returning to the palace, choose a date to get married."

The sixth princess was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said respectfully, "Tong'er, thank the emperor for his fulfillment."

But Murong Haotian was stunned and said nothing, he had no intention of thanking him at all.

The emperor waited for a long time for Murong Haotian to thank him, the smile on his face faded, his eyes were full of surprise.

The third prince was also a little anxious, and said in a dark voice, "Brother Haotian... Brother Haotian, don't hesitate to accept the decree to thank you."

Murong Haotian was silent for a moment, and said with a firm expression, "Your Majesty, please do not accept the order to thank me for being lazy."

"You! How dare you resist the decree!" The emperor was completely angry. There is no reason to take back the imperial decree. Even though the other party is a subject he values, he can't be so bold to defy the decree openly in front of all the concubines and close ministers. Where is my holy face!
Murong Haotian didn't respond, but took out a gold medal made of pure gold from his bosom, with only the word 'forgiveness' engraved on the gold medal.

As soon as the gold medal came out, everyone present was astonished. This gold medal is not the pardon gold medal left by the holy grandfather back then, so what is it?
"What do you mean?" The emperor's face changed slightly when he saw this.

"Returning to the emperor, this gold medal was specially gifted by my father after he followed the holy ancestor in the southern and northern wars and made great achievements. The holy ancestor said that the descendants of Murong can pardon the death penalty with this gold medal. Although the emperor issued a decree to grant the marriage, for many years, the minister has always regarded the sixth princess as his own sister. If she becomes a husband and wife, it is not what the minister wishes. The minister has no choice but to resist the decree and ask the emperor to pardon the crime of resisting the decree .”

It turned out that although Suxian's training has progressed rapidly these days, there is indeed a certain distance between her and the sixth princess, and her chances of winning are very slim.

Murong Haotian saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He had no choice but to secretly order someone to go back to the mansion to fetch the gold medal bestowed by the holy ancestor back then, hoping to use this gold medal to relieve the crisis.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

"This..." the emperor was speechless.He never expected that Murong Haotian's attitude would be so tough that he would not hesitate to take out the golden medal of pardon from the ancestors to refuse the marriage.

"Haotian, such an important gold medal can be kept safe when your life is in danger. You are sure to use the gold medal at this time." The emperor was frustrated. The gold medal that can save his life at a critical moment was used by him to refuse marriage. Marriage is more important than life.

The emperor couldn't help but weigh in his heart, in this way, Murong Haotian really has no intentions of Tong'er.If she forcefully marry Tonger to someone who doesn't love her, Tonger will definitely not be happy in the future.

Although I feel very sorry for this good relationship, firstly, the other party has a gold medal, and secondly, for Tong'er's lifelong happiness, the emperor has no choice but to compromise.

"Forget it, since that's the case, I take it back." The emperor said calmly.

"Royal Father!" Zi Tong whispered willfully.

"That's enough, Tong'er can't be willful, let's let this matter go, don't bring it up again." The emperor shouted angrily.

Concubine Rou also said in a low voice, "Tong'er! You've had enough trouble, there's no reason in the world to force others to marry you. Don't forget, you are the royal princess!"

The sixth princess didn't expect that things turned around unexpectedly, but even the concubine mother, who had never made a sound, spoke out and scolded her, thinking that what she had done was indeed too much, so she had to retreat to the side sullenly.

The emperor saw the sixth princess's expression in his eyes, and seeing his daughter's sadness, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at Suxian, "Murong Haotian, if you resist the order and refuse to marry, I will spare you the death penalty. From now on, it won't count. From now on, there will be no marriage contract between you two, do you understand?"

The emperor issued an order to break up the engagement between the two in public. Murong Haotian was overwhelmed with astonishment and wanted to speak, but the third prince secretly reminded him beside him, "Brother Haotian, accept it as soon as you see it, and don't anger your father." ···”

The reminder was timely, Murong Haotian was vigilant, "I obey the order."

Everything was finally settled, a huge event, unexpectedly ended in such a situation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Among them, the fifth prince was the only one who was very happy. Not only did Lin Suxian not marry Murong Haotian, but he was also annulled by the emperor. To him, this news was undoubtedly great news.

Although the third prince also likes Suxian, he doesn't lose his composure like the fifth prince.As for what happens in the future, it all depends on Suxian's intentions. I have already spoken to Murong Haotian, and I will never use power to oppress others.

The engagement between the two was terminated, and Suxian felt a lot more relaxed.In her opinion, if two people fall in love with each other, whether there is a marriage contract is not important.

*****************
After the match, everyone went back to the palace, but the fifth prince followed closely behind Concubine Lan and went to her palace.

"Yu'er, do you have something to say to your concubine mother?" Concubine Lan was different. Her son was rarely so close to her. Since he came to the palace, he has been hunting with the emperor all day, or going out and about alone. When will he come to accompany him? If you want to live up to yourself, today's move, you must have something to ask for.

"Mother and concubine, I do have something to ask." The fifth prince said with a smile, he was naturally not as restrained as he was in front of his father when he was in front of his mother and concubine.

"Let's listen to it." Concubine Lan slowly sat on the Eight Immortals, picked up the Biluochun presented by the maidservant, took a sip, and said softly.

"My son begged my mother and concubine to speak to my father, and I begged my father to give Lin Suxian to my son as his concubine." The fifth prince's expression became much more serious. It seemed that he had made up his mind a long time ago, and he didn't just say it casually.

"What? You want to marry that woman as a concubine? No!" Concubine Lan shouted without even thinking about it, and at the same time placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, and the table was covered with water.

"Why not?" The fifth prince exclaimed in disbelief.

"I can't say no, I just can't." Concubine Lan was extremely displeased with Suxian, and she was even more worried about the fact that she and Qiuqin lied to her that day.And through these few contacts, Concubine Lan knows that this woman has a strong temperament and is extremely difficult to control.If this girl is placed next to his son, let alone whether she agrees or not, since her mother is a concubine and has been promoted to a common wife, and she has had a marriage contract with An Nanhou before, what face does Yu'er have? .

"Mother Concubine, I have already taken a fancy to Lin Suxian, and I will not hide it from Mother Concubine, the reason I gave medicine to the imperial horse room yesterday was not to help my sixth sister, but because I did not want Lin Suxian to marry Murong Haotian." That's all. Concubine mother, you can understand the painstaking efforts of this minister. I beg my concubine to speak kindly to my father, and promise Lin Suqian to my minister!" The fifth prince did not give up, and kept begging Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan became more and more annoyed, "Presumptuous, don't you listen to what my concubine said? Today, concubine mother will explain to you clearly, girls in the world, whoever you fancy, concubine mother will definitely help you with all my strength. With Lin Suxian, my concubine disagrees!"
