Chapter 604: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (1)
The Queen shook her head, “Ah, you don’t understand!
There is no future for him and me when he favors that bitch Liu Ruyan and lets my daughter marry off."
At this time, the eldest prince came jumping in, interrupting the queen's sadness.
"Mother, Mother, I heard that Shuangshuang is willing to marry me? Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. Our Yu'er is so handsome and powerful, anyone would like her!"
The eldest prince felt happy when he was praised by the queen.
"Hehe, hehe, I don't need others to like me. As long as my sister Shuangshuang likes me, that's enough."
The next day, the emperor directly ordered that the eldest prince be named King of Jianning, and the title would be hereditary.
That was where the emperor started the rebellion.
Giving the fiefdom to the eldest prince is a signal to everyone.
Even though the eldest prince has lost the qualification to inherit the throne, he is still loved by the emperor.
Then, an imperial decree granting marriage and twenty pieces of reward were brought into the Prince of Loyalty's Palace.
The entire capital was in an uproar in an instant, and people had mixed opinions. Some said that Prince Zhongyi was currying favor with the powerful and letting his daughter marry such a mentally retarded person.
Some people also think that there is nothing wrong with the eldest prince. As a prince with a title and fiefdom, many people have wanted to marry their daughters to him over the years.
The next day, Li Xiangyu brought a team of guards and carried a lot of palace maids' boxes and swaggered to the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion.
I greeted the couple very politely.
"My son-in-law greets His Majesty and Princess."
This greeting is quite remarkable, and it is obvious that it was taught by someone at home.
But King Zhongyi frowned when he heard the word "son-in-law".
She had to suppress her temper and return the gift, "Your Highness is so polite. Please take a seat."
Li Xiangyu probably felt that he had completed the task assigned by his mother, and he immediately became happy.
"Lord Zhongyi, where does Sister Shuangshuang live? Please have someone take me to find her. I'm here to bring her a gift."
The couple looked at the dozen or so mahogany boxes in the hall with strange expressions on their faces.
I didn't expect Li Xiangyu to be so generous. Just looking at the size of the box, even without opening it, I knew it must be full.
This made the prince and princess have a better impression of him.
The couple looked at each other, and the princess spoke first.
"Your Highness, if you want to see Shuangshuang, I'll have someone take you there right away."
"Thank you, Princess!"
Li Xiangyu was very happy. He followed the maid, carrying Master Li's box, and went to find Shuangwan happily.
Seeing this scene, the old father felt depressed for a while and regretted making this decision.
Shuangshuang learned from the little maid who informed them in advance that Li Xiangyu was coming.
He specifically instructed Cuilan, "Go to the kitchen and get some cakes that the children like to eat."
Cuilan looked at Shuangshuang with pity, thinking that her daughter had suffered so much.
I just asked the third prince for help, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel and directly assign him such a mentally retarded person.
Shuangshuang saw what she was thinking, but didn't explain and just waved at her.
"go quickly."
As soon as Li Xiangyu came in, he bowed to Shuangshuang in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Sister Shuangshuang, brother, I am right.
Seeing him saluting seriously, Shuangshuang also returned his salute gracefully.
"My daughter has met the prince."
Li Xiangyu grabbed Shuangshuang’s wrist and said, “Hurry up, hurry up.
Yes, yes, mother said that we will be husband and wife from now on.
Since we are husband and wife, you don't need to bow when you see me."
Cuilan, who came over with pastries, was no longer so prejudiced against Li Xiangyu after hearing what he said.
He brought the food box over and placed the pastries inside on the coffee table next to Li Xiangyu.
As soon as I smelled that sweet aroma, my eyes were instantly drawn to the pastries.
Without even looking up, he said to Shuangshuang, "Sister Shuangshuang, your pastries look delicious."
"Since it tastes good, just eat it."
Li Xiangyu was instantly surprised, "I can really eat?"
After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, my mother said I can't eat too much sweets."
So Shuangshuang didn't force it anymore and just nodded in agreement with what he said.
"The Queen is right, you really can't eat too much.
Just eating one or two pieces now and then, I think it should be fine."
"really?"
Shuangshuang simply pushed the plate towards him.
"Eat quickly."
With Li Xiangyu's high-profile entry into the Prince of Zhongyi's Palace, the marriage between the two was settled.
Even the third prince, who was under house arrest, didn't know where he got the news from.
In an instant, he could no longer stay in the mansion.
At this moment, he didn't know whether he couldn't tolerate Shuangshuang marrying someone else, or because he was going to lose the support of the Zhongyi Palace. He just felt empty in his heart.
Without caring about disobeying the order, he jumped over the wall and came to the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion.
Looking at Shuangshuang with hope on his face.
"Shuangshuang, what they said isn't true, right?"
Shuangshuang naturally didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Is it really none of your business?"
"Why is it irrelevant? Haven't you always loved me very much?
I have always been bothered by Yang Liu's existence.
Now Yang Liu is gone, and there is no barrier between us.
As long as you are willing, I can ask my father for permission to marry me at any time."
Shuangshuang was really disgusted by his words.
He shouted loudly, "Help, help, someone is coming in!"
Seeing the guards running around quickly, the third prince had no choice but to leave quickly.
When Li Xiangyu learned about this, he immediately ran to the Qinzheng Hall to find the emperor.
"Father, please send me two female secret guards with superb martial arts skills."
The emperor was surprised and pulled him to sit next to him.
"Come, tell father, why do you want a female secret guard?"
"I want to send them over to protect my sisters Shuangshuang, so that the thieves won't sneak into the Zunyi Palace again!
Shuangshuang is so weak, what if she gets bullied by thieves? "
When the emperor saw his eldest son like this, he felt a pain in his teeth.
But he couldn't explain the reason clearly, so in the end he had to reluctantly give him two female secret guards.
Li Xiangyu frowned and gave serious instructions to his eunuch.
"Xi Le, hurry up and send him to the Zhongyi Palace. Make sure you send him to Sister Shuang Shuang."
After thinking about it, he ordered two secret guards in front of the emperor.
"Remember this, if any thief dares to harass Sister Shuangshuang again, you will give him a good beating."
The emperor felt so upset that he almost didn't know whether his son was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
However, she also knew that she could no longer let the Third Prince covet her eldest sister-in-law, so she finally decided to grant him a marriage.
After all, he is his beloved son, and he is being trained as the future crown prince, so it is natural that he cannot choose his wife at will.
It was delayed like this until the imperial concubine's house arrest period expired.
For the sake of her son and daughter, the imperial concubine sent soup, cakes and love to the emperor every day.
Finally, the emperor softened his heart and lifted the ban on the third prince.
As soon as he left the Third Prince's Mansion, Li Xiangze became restless again.
