"Our Jing'an Marquis Mansion can barely be considered a noble family. Although our descendants have little potential, they all know how to live a pure and honest life." Madam Li looked at him with a cane in hand and said loudly: "Li Xiangnan is the legitimate daughter of my second wife.
, His Highness King Qi really intends to take it back and just forget about it?
I wonder where your Highness will place the face of the ancestors of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion?"
Zhao Xun said calmly: "I understand the meaning of the old lady's words.
Madam, there is no need to be self-effacing. The ancestors of the Marquis of Jing'an did produce many heroes, and today's general is also a loyal minister of his father.
If something like this happened to her, the eldest daughter-in-law, I would definitely write a letter and follow the six etiquettes to marry her as my wife without saying a word.
But Li Cheng is only a fifth-grade disciple. If Li Xiangnan were my wife, it would be..."
He stopped talking, his brows were in embarrassment, and it was already clear that Li Xiangnan's identity was not worthy of her at all.
Li Xiangnan, who was about to faint just now, couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing what he said. Her little face was red and white, white and blue, extremely ugly!
Zhao Xun had vowed at the beginning that as long as she helped him get Li Can, he would definitely make her Princess Qi and would never let her suffer any injustice again.
At this point, she finally understood that from the beginning to the end, Zhao Xun had not been tempted by her in the slightest, and he only wanted Li Can.
She even suspected that when Zhao Xun said that he would use Liu Zhenlian to seduce Li Can, he was thinking that if Li Can failed, he would use Liu Zhenlian to make a fuss.
After all, Liu Zhenlian's father is now the General of Fuyuan and is highly valued by His Majesty. Zhao Xun cannot even ask for him.
She finally saw Zhao Xun's face clearly. This man had no heart. Apart from power, there was probably nothing that could catch Zhao Xun's eyes.
Such a person is not worth entrusting her with for the rest of her life, but what's the use of understanding it now? She has no way out.
However, she had been taught by Mr. He for many years, so she was able to keep her composure and did not cry or refute.
Since grandma only brought these few people with her, it meant that she was still thinking about her and the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an. Even though grandma didn't love her as much as she did Li Can, she was still upholding justice for her.
Her mind was so confused that she could only think of these.
Mrs. Li said unhurriedly: "Indeed, the Jingan Marquis Mansion today is no better than before, and the only remaining eldest son in my Li family can barely make it to the stage.
Li Cheng is a man who cannot hold up a wall. He is not worthy of being the father-in-law of His Highness King Qi, and he should not embarrass His Highness King Qi.
Today, it is getting late, so there is no need to delay His Highness King Qi to go back and rest.
Please have an early morning tomorrow, so I will put aside my old face and go to the palace to beat the Dengwen drum and ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me!"
After all, she is the ancestor of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion and is well versed in the world. Zhao Xun has testified about this matter and Zhao Xun cannot deny it. Naturally, she is not afraid at all.
Zhao Xun's usually amiable expression solidified for a moment: "If the old lady brings the matter to the father, I am afraid that the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an will also be damaged."
Jiang is indeed old and spicy, and the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an is not worth mentioning in his opinion, but if he really makes trouble in the palace and his father really pursues it, he may not be able to bear the consequences.
This matter must not become a big deal.
"His Royal Highness King Qi cannot give me an explanation, so I can only go to His Majesty to seek justice." Mrs. Li was not afraid at all.
Zhao Xun was stiff for a moment: "I have always dealt with things in a friendly manner and have been on good terms with the Marquis of Jing'an, so there is no need for such a stalemate. I wonder what the old lady wants?"
"His Royal Highness King Qi doesn't know what to do, so your Majesty will naturally know." Mrs. Li was still unhurried.
Li Xiangnan is the legitimate daughter, so naturally she should be the first wife, but she won't take the initiative to bring it up.
Now that things are like this, it's obvious that Zhao Xun is dissatisfied with Li Xiangnan.
If the Marquis of Jing'an proposed that Zhao Xun marry Li Xiangnan, Li Xiangnan's life would probably be even more difficult.
She also thinks about Li Xiangnan. After all, she is her granddaughter. Although she loves Li Can more, she does not care about her children and grandchildren at all.
She was shocked and saddened. After all, Li Xiangnan seemed to be the most organized and disciplined among her granddaughters. He had put a lot of effort into teaching her. How could such a good child do such a stupid thing?
thing?
There is no turning back from this!
"What do you think, Brother Sixth Emperor?" Zhao Xun paused for a moment, then suddenly turned the conversation to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Ye glanced at him indifferently: "Brother Five Emperors can make up his own mind."
"Don't you ask about this matter, Brother Sixth Emperor?" Zhao Xun chuckled, as if he was surprised.
"How can I interfere in the private affairs of Brother Five Emperors?" Zhao Zong said lightly: "I am here just to be a witness according to the wishes of the old lady."
Zhao Xun looked at him with a helpless expression, his teeth itched with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
In this matter, he finally failed.
"Okay." He agreed: "What happened today is indeed my fault. It has reached this point and is irreversible.
I would like to have three matchmakers and six betrothals, and marry Li Xiangnan as Princess Qi.
Is the old lady at ease?"
"His Royal Highness King Qi has volunteered to do this, and I am more than relieved. This is a great joy for the Marquis of Jing'an, and I am very happy." Mrs. Li said this, but there was no trace of joy on her face.
, only looking at Zhao Xun: "I wonder when His Highness King Qi will invite people to come to the house to negotiate matchmaking, and according to the rules, he will join the Geng Tie and give the betrothal gift?"
"The old lady also knows that I am the prince." Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Such a major marriage event cannot be vague and requires careful preparation. At this time...it really can't be decided for a while."
"In this hot weather, I won't put His Highness in trouble, Prince Qi." Mrs. Li said directly: "It will only last for two months. It will already be autumn by then, and the weather will be cold, so it will be convenient to do things."
Zhao Xun didn't say anything for a while. He wanted to delay it for a while and think about the countermeasures. If he agreed to the old lady's words, and Zhao Xun was standing by as a witness, he would definitely not be able to change it in the future.
"If His Highness King Qi doesn't want to accept it, there is no need to be embarrassed." When Mrs. Li saw that he was silent, she added: "I will go directly to ask His Majesty tomorrow about the important matter of marriage and what my parents want to say."
"We will be a family from now on. Madam, you don't have to annoy me." Zhao Xun said with a good-natured look: "I will just accept it. It will only last for two months. I will act according to the rules."
He clenched his fist loudly. The old woman dared to threaten him. He had remembered today's shame!
"Then it's settled." Mrs. Li turned sideways and showed the way out.
With Zhao Gao here, she is not afraid of Zhao Xun's denial.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhao Xun glanced at everyone in the room and bowed his hands.
The room was quiet for a moment, Mrs. Li looked at Li Xiangnan and sighed.
"Get up." Mrs. Lin was kind-hearted. Seeing that Li Xiangnan's face was really ugly, she leaned over to help her.
"Sister-in-law, don't help her!" Mr. He stood up, with unconcealed annoyance on his face: "Let her kneel down!"
Li Xiangnan's mistake of sitting down is the most heartbreaking thing for her as a mother.
Only she herself knows how much effort she has put into this daughter, hoping that she can gain face for her and marry into the palace.
But not in this way!
Her face was completely lost to Li Xiangnan this night!
