Emperor Ming had also led people to arrive slowly at this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was not right, he didn't take it seriously. He and his father-in-law had already sent someone to briefly talk to him.
"Prince Suleiman, don't be angry. Those who are short-sighted and ignorant, I will make the decision for you." Emperor Ming waved his hand with a smile.
Then, he looked at Xu Xiuyi: "Xu Aiqing's daughter is gentle and mellow, virtuous and knows etiquette, filial and gentle. She is named Xiaoxian County Princess and is married to Prince Suleiman."
He recognized the daughter of the Minister of Dali Temple. She was a well-educated and honest girl. She could have been a concubine for the prince.
Pity!
Everyone immediately looked at Xu Xiuyi with envy. This was really a blessing in disguise!
With the title conferred by the emperor and the marriage granted, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks against Xu Xiuyi?
But Xu Xiuyi froze. In order to make Yinhu look good, His Majesty even made her a county head. Then how could she break off the engagement with Yinhu!
But she couldn't think too much at the moment, so she could only kneel down to express gratitude and accept the order: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Silver Fox smiled and clasped his fists towards Emperor Ming: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for the foreign ministers."
Except for Xu Xiuyi, no one present could laugh. The prince, who was about to appear, listened from a distance and his expression froze.
Xu Xiuyi was actually canonized as county lord and given a marriage to that silver fox?!
If when Xu Xiuyi sees him, the love poison breaks out and she becomes the only one to marry him, wouldn't it become a major event affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries?
He knew his father best, and he might not care about a sultan who was far away, but his father cared about face the most!
If Xu Xiuyi dies, he will die. Even if the Xu family is punished, it doesn't matter to him. But if his father and everyone think that he, the prince, is hooking up with Xu Xiuyi, won't he lose his father's face?!
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through the prince's mind, and he felt very angry.
He had already laid out the plan, but now it has become a difficult situation!
What should he do? Should he keep avoiding Xu Xiuyi? But he must attend the banquet later!
When did this damn silver fox turn from a lowly foreign businessman into something...what kind of prince sultan?!
"When did you become the prince of Su... Su or something?!"
Xu Xiuyi also held this doubt and stared angrily at the tall and handsome man in front of her.
Silver Fox hugged his chest and looked at Xu Xiuyi with a half-smile: "You secretly dragged me to the Royal Garden, a tea room where ladies change, just to ask me this question?"
Xu Xiuyi said coldly: "Otherwise, what do you think I asked you to do?"
Yinhu put one hand on the side of her face and said leisurely: "In our country, women call men away at banquets so that they can kiss each other and even go to bed in front of flowers and under the moon."
"You...you you you...you Su...what Su...what kind of slutty place are you!" No matter how calm and composed Xu Xiuyi was, she was just a teenage girl, and her face instantly turned red.
The silver fox looked at the blushing look on her delicate little face, but smiled: "Suleiman, this is my name, and Sudan is my country."
"You, didn't you say that there are no parents at home and there is no contact between brothers? Are you lying to me?!" Xu Xiuyi pushed him away angrily and shyly.
She only knew that he was an imperial merchant, but she never thought that Yin Hu had the identity of a prince from a foreign country!
If she had known this, she would never have gotten engaged to him!
Silver Fox crossed his chest and leaned lazily against the pillar: "I'm not lying to you, my parents died early, my mother was a slave girl who was sold to Sudan, my brother is the king of Sudan, and I really have nothing to do with him.
"
He paused and chuckled: "After all, in my country, there is a famous law - all kings who ascend the throne can legally kill their brothers."
Xu Xiuyi was stunned: "What...how is this possible?"
Is there such a terrible law?
"Why is it impossible? My father killed more than twenty of his sons in order to secure my brother's throne."
Silver Fox shrugged: "I am a mixed-race illegitimate child. My mother is a slave girl from the Central Plains with black hair and eyes. It is impossible for me to ascend to the throne. I was sold to the Central Plains as a slave by my father."
"If I hadn't grown up, I would have been able to earn a lot of money for my brother Wang from the Central Plains, and I wouldn't have been able to obtain this position as a prince. It's just a false name. You don't have to take it to heart."
The man said this with a smile, as if he was not talking about terrible and tragic things, but about other people's stories.
Xu Xiuyi looked at Silver Fox with complicated emotions.
Does he really not care?
From prince to slave...
Silver Fox looked at Xu Xiuyi's expression and chuckled playfully: "What, do you feel sorry for me? There is a saying in our country - whoever feels sorry for you is the beginning of your heartbeat."
Xu Xiuyi's face turned red again: "Who wants to feel sorry for you? Shut up. Think carefully about how to explain to my father and the others. What will you do if you break off the engagement?"
Silver Fox raised his eyebrows: "Breaking off the engagement? Why should I break off the engagement?"
…
Ming Lanruo was sitting in the lounge specially prepared for her by Concubine Xian, eating snacks while looking at the hidden scholar sitting next to him dressed as a eunuch: "...it turns out that Silver Fox has such a story.
ah!"
She suddenly remembered what she had heard when she met him in the black market. It turned out that what he said about Cang Qiao once saving him from a slave hunting ground was true.
The hidden scholar said calmly: "Yeah."
Ming Lanruo sighed: "Ah, Yinhu's father is so cruel. He killed all his sons, and he also has a magical method of killing brothers. The prince and the King of Qin must be envious of this law."
Ming Lanruo tapped the fan on Scholar Yin's chest gossipingly: "By the way, do you think Yinhu and Xiuyi are a good match? I think the atmosphere between them is a bit too ambiguous?"
Scholar Yin squeezed her hand and said expressionlessly: "My dear lady, don't you think the ambiguity between you and me is a bit too much? I'm just your retainer, why do I have to be by your side all the time?"
What on earth does she want to do?
Ming Lanruo's eyes rolled slightly, and she was about to say something, when Jing Ming suddenly rushed in: "Miss, it's not good, Miss Xu suddenly grabbed the prince's sleeve and wouldn't let go!"
Ming Lanruo frowned: "What did the prince do to Xiuyi again!"
Jing Ming shook his head with an ugly expression: "It was Miss Xiuyi who said that she doesn't want to get married, but just wants to serve the prince!"
