Ji Jing held the post with confusion on his face: "Why did King Dongjiang send a post so well? If I remember correctly, they held this autumn banquet to choose a concubine for the prince, right?"
King Dongjiang has been in bed this year, so he wanted to do something important for his son while he was still in good spirits. It's already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the candidates have been drafted long ago, so why did he send a post at the last minute?
Xu Huan pinched his eyebrows and said, "This is because he knew we had won Yongcheng and came to test it."
"Then will the eldest lady go?"
As soon as this question was asked, the officials and staff at the meeting expressed their opinions one after another.
"Since King Dongjiang has posted a message, if the eldest lady doesn't go, it will be a bit disrespectful."
"That's right! We had some dealings with King Dongjiang, so we didn't go to Yongcheng until we got it. It doesn't look good."
Xu Huan nodded. He thought so too. Nanyuan couldn't afford to offend Dongjiang now.
"Actually, it would be nice to get married to Dongjiang!"
As soon as this sentence was said, there was a sudden silence in the meeting hall, and everyone looked towards the recorder who was speaking.
Everyone was upset when they saw the recording, and they said bravely: "Isn't it true? It is said that Li Wen, the crown prince of Dongjiang Prince, is kind-hearted and handsome. If the rumors are true, he is indeed a good match for the young lady!"
"
What he said brought everyone's thinking back.
This is true. Your Excellency is looking for the eldest lady’s marriage. If there is no problem with her character, Prince Dongjiang is indeed a good match. Anyway, your Excellency no longer wants to keep the eldest lady to recruit a son-in-law. With the eldest lady’s talent, appearance and character, what kind of
If the person is not worthy enough, why should the eldest daughter be forced to marry at a low price?
"Sir?" Ji Jing asked Xu Huan's opinion.
Xu Huan thought for a while and said, "Asi is my eldest daughter. I have raised her by my side since she was a child. I am really reluctant to let her marry far away." Then, he changed his tone and added, "But if she
Being able to marry the man you want is nothing."
Ji Jing smiled and nodded: "Even young talents from other families may be appointed as officials in the future. As long as the eldest lady can come back to visit relatives, it will be the same."
Xu Huan nodded slowly.
His statement changed the direction of the matter a little. At first, he just thought that he could not offend King Dongjiang. Now he thought about it, and just went on a blind date as a young lady. This is not a loss at all.
As a result, the atmosphere in the meeting hall relaxed, everyone put smiles on their faces, and discussed the matter of going to the banquet.
"The escort must be carefully selected. You can't call her a young lady and make others look down upon her."
"The more people there are, the more powerful it will be."
"This is the first time that the eldest lady is traveling far away. It is best to have relatives by her side. Why don't you ask the eldest young master to escort you?"
"The eldest son is still young, and nothing has happened. Why don't you ask the second master to go? He is also a serious elder, and he can easily deal with it if anything happens."
"By the way, Madam's natal family is from a prominent family in Dongjiang. Someone will take care of her when she goes there, right?"
"That's right, that's right..."
Xu Huan listened with a smile, turned around and saw his second daughter sitting there in a daze, and asked aloud: "Ayin, what do you think?"
Xu Yin came back to his senses and looked at him blankly.
Xu Huan sensed something was wrong with her and asked, "Do you feel bad?"
When he asked, the discussion stopped and everyone turned their eyes over.
These days, the third lady is always present when they discuss matters. Everyone knows that the Lord has made up his mind to let the third lady inherit the family business. If it had been before, they might have had objections, but when the Lord was in coma, the third lady frustrated Fang Yi.
They were convinced by the conspiracy and brought Yongcheng to Yongcheng without bloodshed.
Now, if the third young lady disagrees, the Lord may change his mind.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "What you gentlemen said makes sense. If Prince Dongjiang is a good match, my sister will be able to find a husband as she pleases, and Nanyuan and Dongjiang will be able to form an alliance, which will be of great benefit to the future. But..."
"But what?" You asked impatiently, "Miss Third, do you think something is inappropriate?"
Xu Yin said: "My sister's trip to Dongjiang this time can only be regarded as a blind date, not a wedding. Isn't it too grand to ask my second uncle to go?"
It's so long, it seems like Xu Si hates getting married.
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
"That……"
Before I could say who should go, I heard Xu Yin answer: "Why don't I go? I'll just go to Dongjiang with my sister and won't attract attention."
Everyone was stunned: "This..."
I just thought that if Xu Si, a girl who had not yet left the court, went out alone, she was afraid that something would happen and she could not make up her mind. Now, wouldn’t it be wrong to let the third lady, who is younger than her, send her off... Also, although the third lady is young, she is courageous enough to kill.
Wu Zijing could keep his head straight, so what else could he not handle?
Xu Yin continued: "Call my eldest brother again. With him here, there will be someone to take care of the rest, and I can also let him see the world."
Xu Huan didn't say yes or no, he just said: "Don't worry, there are still a few months until the autumn banquet, we can discuss it later."
Let this matter be put aside for the time being, and we will discuss other matters.
When all the discussions were over and the officials and staff left, Xu Huan stopped Xu Yin and said, "Let's talk to father."
Xu Yin stopped, watched the waiter bring new tea, and everyone left, then asked: "What does father want to say? Is it difficult for others to hear?"
Xu Huan nodded and asked directly: "My father saw that you looked wrong just now and insisted on sending your sister to Dongjiang in person. I remembered that you had that foreboding dream. Is there anything wrong with Dongjiang?"
Unexpectedly, his father was so sharp. Xu Yin smiled, sat down and said, "Yes."
In front of his father, there was nothing to hide. Xu Yin organized his words and slowly told the matter: "Father, I didn't tell you the second half of Fang Yi's matter. He did not marry his sister later, but...
I gave my sister to King Dongjiang."
Xu Huan was startled for a moment, and the color faded from his face: "What did you say?"
Xu Yin sighed: "It's not the current King of Dongjiang, nor the crown prince Li Wen, but his clan brother Li Da..."
She slowly told the story, and Xu Huan's expression was filled with hatred and pity.
"Ah Si!" He was glad that this was just a dream. It was really heartbreaking for his beloved daughter to be ruined like this.
But he also knew that if Xu Yin hadn't suddenly had this dream and foiled Fang Yi's conspiracy, this would probably have become a reality.
No wonder her daughter hates Fang Yi so much. Their sisters' lives were ruined by Fang Yi.
"Father, don't be sad," Xu Yin comforted him, "This is just a dream, it has not become a reality yet."
She said this, but she felt pain and bitterness in her heart.
She also hopes that this is just a dream, but this dream is too real for her. The suffering that her sister suffered in the Dongjiang Palace, her appearance that was forced to be destroyed, has closed the door of her heart...
It passed like a dream.
"Li Da!" Xu Huan slapped the table with hatred, "I will definitely kill him in the future!"
"Father, don't worry." Xu Yin said calmly, "That's why I have to go in person this time to put an end to this dream."
