Hu Yafei looked up at Xiao Chengye, as if she didn't know anything, and asked innocently: "Is there anything you need me to make up your mind about? I don't know anything, so don't miss your majesty's important event."
Xiao Chengye smiled: "You have to make your own decision on this matter. Because this is your own matter, and I don't want to make the decision without authorization."
Hu Yafei became more serious: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Xiao Chengye raised his hand and handed the memorial to Gao Cheng aside, saying, "Show it to the princess."
Gao Cheng took the memorial and delivered it to Hu Yafei.
When Xiao Chengye read the memorial to her, he said directly: "Your father has written and asked me to grant you a marriage. From what he means, he is interested in my fourth prince and wants to marry me."
While Xiao Chengye was speaking, Hu Yafei had already read the contents of the memorial.
Hu Yafei put down the memorial, frowned and glanced at Xiao Yao beside him, and said: "Your Majesty, I will not be a concubine."
Xiao Chengye raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that Hu Yafei still didn't understand and wanted to act like a monster.
However, he soon returned to normal.
"The noble princess of Nanjiang, how can I wrong you to be a concubine?" Xiao Yao looked at Hu Yafei, his tone was gentle, almost coaxing Hu Yafei, "When you get started, you will naturally act as a wife, not a concubine."
Hu Yafei raised her eyebrows: "I am the head wife, so how will you settle your original wife? Could it be that His Highness the Fourth Prince wants to demote his wife as a concubine? This kind of thing will be ridiculed by others. Has His Highness the Fourth Prince really thought about it?"
The expression on Xiao Yao's face was slightly distorted.
Just because it was despised to demote his wife into a concubine, he had been in trouble for so long. Hu Yafei also used this excuse to find something to say.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said, "How could I do such a thing?"
"Don't worry, Yun Ruhui is a very easy-to-get-together person. I have also discussed this matter with her. She is willing to be equal to you and both are the head wives. There is no such thing as who is the wife and who is the concubine."
"Don't worry, I will treat you all equally and I will never treat any of you badly."
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he looked at Hu Yafei expectantly and said thoughtfully: "Your father will give you to me. I will take good care of you and will never let down your father's expectations."
Hu Yafei stared at Xiao Yao for a long time, and finally asked: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, will you marry me only?"
Xiao Yao said affectionately: "I really like you and want to take good care of you."
Hu Yafei suddenly smiled and said, "But what should I do? I don't like you and I don't want to marry you."
Xiao Yao looked at Hu Yafei's expression and vaguely realized something was wrong. Before he could react, Hu Yafei suddenly turned to face Xiao Chengye and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Hu Yafei shouted loudly.
This voice made everyone in the room stunned for a moment.
Xiao Yao, in particular, stared at Hu Yafei, as if something extremely terrifying could come out of this mouth.
Even Qin Hong, who was standing in the corner, was startled.
He naturally knew that Zhao Qing had married someone back home and had everything done to him. As the only insider in the room, he admired Hu Yafei's courage to face all this alone.
Xiao Chengye blinked, but there was no trace of anger on his face, and he said leisurely: "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, please say it. Don't kneel down all the time."
Hu Yafei did not get up and shouted again: "I am guilty."
Xiao Chengye narrowed his eyes and did not call her up again, but asked: "Tell me, what heinous crime have you committed?"
"I...can't marry the fourth prince." Hu Yafei pursed her lips and said word by word, "I'm afraid I have to disobey my father's order, which would be unfilial. Today, I'm afraid I have to disobey His Majesty's order, which would be unfilial.
Disloyalty. I am an unfaithful and unfilial person. I have committed a heinous crime. Please be punished by Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengye: "...What have you done to make you unfaithful and unfilial?"
Hu Yafei raised her head and looked at Xiao Chengye, and said word for word: "Your Majesty, I have made a private commitment to this man for the rest of my life. In the few days since I left the palace, I got married to him. I bowed to heaven and earth with him, and we entered the bridal chamber.
We are a real couple now. Therefore, it is impossible for me to marry anyone else. Please be aware of this, Your Majesty."
After Hu Yafei's words fell, the whole hall could hear the sound of needles dropping.
The senior management opened his mouth in shock, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Chengye's face. After taking a look, he was surprised to find that the emperor did not seem to be very angry.
Xiao Chengye's face was calm and he didn't look angry, but the other person was different.
Xiao Yao was stunned after hearing Hu Yafei's words clearly, and then turned on the expression control. The look on his face could almost be said to be furious.
He walked up to Hu Yafei in two steps, grabbed Hu Yafei's collar and lifted her up, almost growling and asked: "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Hu Yafei was carried, looked up at Xiao Yao, and said word for word: "Now that I am a wife, I am no longer perfect, and I am afraid that I am not worthy of His Highness. Therefore, I hope that Your Highness will find another good match. Mo
You're wasting your time on me."
Xiao Yao gritted his teeth tightly and said sternly: "Hu Yafei! How dare you, how dare you..."
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Xiao Yao took a deep breath, suppressed the rising anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make up such a ridiculous excuse just to resist this marriage.
Even if you are willful and reckless, there should be a limit."
Hu Yafei said nothing.
Xiao Yao said in a deep voice: "You should admit your mistake to my father now and say that you just talked nonsense. Then I will forget about it and won't hold you accountable."
Hu Yafei suddenly smiled, her eyes full of ridicule.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, why don't you believe the truth I tell you?"
After Hu Yafei finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Chengye above and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to verify my identity and prove that I am a wife and I am not lying."
Xiao Yao couldn't bear it anymore, slapped Hu Yafei on the face, and cursed: "Bitch."
A flash of killing intent flashed in Hu Yafei's eyes, which was quickly suppressed by her.
She held up half of her face that was swollen, looked up at Xiao Yao, and said coldly: "The Fourth Highness's words are unreasonable!"
"I have never had any relationship with the Fourth Highness, let alone any agreement. Why do you care about me?" Hu Yafei said coldly, "Or rather, the Fourth Highness has already determined to win me, so he takes it for granted that I must be the one.
Are you yours?"
"Your Highness and I are not familiar with each other at all. Do you insist on marrying me because you really like me or for something else? Fourth Highness, do you really think others don't know?"
Hu Yafei was going to tear off that fig leaf so that he would no longer be able to hide.
