Chapter 271: The Minister is Willing to Marry
Su Yujiao raised her eyes and met the man's deep and smiling eyes: "Does the prince intend to make me a concubine or a concubine?"
Chu Zhongyuan pinched her chin and chuckled, "She is indeed a smart woman. She knows how to make choices and how to grasp my mind."
"This prince loves you so much, how could he let you be his concubine?"
"You are naturally the princess that this king married with a formal marriage."
Su Yujiao laughed sarcastically: "Has the prince discussed this with Chen Yunniang?"
"Does she agree?"
"Didn't you leave the position of your principal wife to her?"
As the man untied the rope around her wrists, he patiently explained, "I have the ability to convince her."
"You just need to be happy as my princess."
"Your Majesty, are you really willing to protect my family?"
"Of course, this is what I should do."
Su Yujiao sat up and looked at him: "Then your Majesty must keep his word."
Chu Zhongyuan held Su Yujiao's hand. Su Yujiao struggled instinctively but failed to break free.
"Follow me into the palace and ask my father to grant me the marriage."
"Why are you so anxious, my lord?"
The man smiled, deliberately moved closer, and whispered in the woman's ear, "Such a beautiful lady, this prince naturally can't wait to marry her home."
"Are you teasing me?"
Su Yujiao's expression froze: "How could it be!"
"It is a blessing that any woman could wish for to find a man as outstanding as the prince as her ideal match."
"What about you? Do you also feel it is a blessing?"
"That's... natural."
The two entered the palace together, and the emperor learned that they were there to get married.
After being surprised, I looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman and couldn't stop smiling!
Except for her inability to have children, Su Yujiao is worthy of Yuan'er in all other aspects.
But it doesn’t matter. There are many women who are willing to give birth to Yuan’er’s children, so the royal family’s bloodline will never be cut off.
"Princess Anshun, are you willing?" The emperor still symbolically asked Su Yujiao's opinion.
"As a divorced woman who has given birth to a child, it is my great blessing to marry the prince. I am naturally willing to do so."
Su Yujiao deliberately mentioned that she had been married and had children, and was no longer a virgin.
Didn’t the ancients attach great importance to women’s chastity? How could someone who had lost her chastity be worthy of marrying into the royal family?
"It doesn't matter, as long as you two are in love with each other, I am not such a pedantic person."
"Wei Zhong, summon the officials of the Imperial Observatory and have them calculate an auspicious date."
"Yes."
Wei Zhong glanced at Su Yujiao, sighed slightly, and then left quickly.
Soon, Wei Zhong brought the two officials into the imperial study and analyzed their horoscopes. The results showed that their horoscopes and zodiac signs were compatible, indicating that they were a perfect match.
The emperor was very pleased to hear this!
"Okay, then let's set it for the eighth day of next month!"
Just as Eunuch Wei finished reading the imperial edict, Concubine Jing came and said that Chu Qinghe suddenly vomited blood and her condition worsened.
After saying this, Concubine Jing grabbed Su Yujiao's hand and walked towards the princess's bedroom.
Su Yujiao was also anxious, but she couldn't show it.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please move to the outer hall. No one can disturb me while I am treating you."
This is Su Yujiao's rule, and the Queen and Concubine Jing have long been accustomed to it.
"Princess, are you okay?"
To be on the safe side, she would always be addressed as Princess whenever she was in the palace.
Her hand rested on Jin Mudan's dry and slender wrist. Her pulse was surging, and the situation was indeed very bad.
"Why did it suddenly get worse?" Su Yujiao frowned.
Jin Mudan handed a letter to Su Yujiao. It turned out that Mo Lingchen was in a desperate situation and was in urgent need of a large amount of food and supplies, otherwise he would surely die.
"Don't panic. The Emperor should have received the letter. Tell him to send someone to deliver food and fodder immediately. He will definitely make it in time."
"Ahem, I want to see the emperor."
"Okay, I'll invite the emperor in now."
Jin Mudan was finally relieved when she heard that the emperor had sent people to deliver food and fodder.
"Jiaojiao, have you found the child?"
"Who stole it?"
"The child is fine, just frightened. Chen Yunniang stole my dragon snake jade, and Chu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to force a marriage. This is the imperial decree granting the marriage..."
Jin Mudan looked at the imperial edict in her hand and found it hard to accept: "How could this be?"
"Nanjiang won't help you?"
"The Southern Frontier Kingdom only recognizes the Dragon Snake Jade. Moreover, my identity is only known to Nan Sheng and has never been made public."
"Now Chen Yunniang is the true Saint of Southern Xinjiang."
"Southern Xinjiang Kingdom won't help me."
"Without the Dragon Snake Jade, I've become the weak woman I once was, at the mercy of others..."
"This world is so cruel and unfair to women."
Jin Mudan looked worried: "Is there no other way?"
"Are you really going to marry him?"
"Does General Lu know?"
“How can I accept it when he comes back?”
Su Yujiao shook her head: "There is no other way, this is the only way for now."
"As for Lu Ziqian, he has to accept it whether he can or not. He is far away now and I can't rely on him at all."
"Jiaojiao, let's expose Concubine Jing. Perhaps there will be a chance for a turnaround."
Su Yujiao sighed: "I'm also waiting for this opportunity, but I have to make sure it's foolproof."
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, the situation will only get worse."
After leaving the palace, Su Yujiao returned to the courtyard again.
"An An, what's going on?"
"Have you asked Doctor Zhou to come and bandage the child?"
Xiao Tao immediately replied, "The young master is fine. His ear was just scratched a little. He was just frightened and kept crying for his mother."
Su Yujiao picked up the child and touched the child's hot forehead.
The child had a slight fever, so she immediately took out a packet of children's antipyretic medicine and fed it to him.
"Wuwuwu...Mother...wuwuwu..."
The child, like a frightened little deer, crawled into her arms and held her tightly.
"Mother is here, baby, don't be afraid."
After coaxing the child to sleep, Xiaotao started crying and asked about what happened last night.
"Miss, are you okay? Where were you taken by the bad guys last night? And how did you escape?"
Su Yujiao helped Xiaotao wipe away her tears: "I'm fine, I'm back now."
"You go down first, leave me alone for a while, I need to think carefully about the next countermeasures."
"Yes."
"Miss, such a big thing happened at home. Do you want to write a letter to the general?"
"Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, and writing about it is useless."
That afternoon, hundreds of red boxes were carried into the yard, and everyone knew that the emperor had granted Su Yujiao a marriage, asking her to marry Chu Zhongyuan.
After the palace people left, Zhou and Lu Ziwei both came to ask questions.
Su Yujiao just said that the imperial decree had been issued and she could not change it.
"What should I do?"
"Mom, let's go back first and don't disturb Jiaojiao. She's also in a mess right now."
After the two of them left the yard, Zhou immediately wrote a letter to Lu Ziqian. She was also afraid that this letter would affect his fighting skills, or even that he would get it back regardless of the consequences, which would be a capital crime.
But now she couldn't care less, he had to know the situation at home.
Otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.
