The scene at the entrance of Pingnan General's Office shocked the entire capital. Everyone was flabbergasted. What happened? When did the scholarly Sixth Prince take a fancy to the Ren family's Eldest Miss? One of them was scholarly while the other was valiant. They were the complete opposite of each other. They didn't match! The Ren family's Eldest Miss had been practicing martial arts with her father since she was a child. If they didn't get along after marriage, wouldn't the Sixth Prince be bullied?
But everyone immediately reacted. No, no, no, they couldn't be fooled by the Sixth Prince's appearance. He looked like a scholar, but when it came to fighting, his skills weren't something ordinary people could compare to.
Some people also remembered that at the Fifth Prince's wedding banquet, the Sixth Prince had saved the Ren family's Eldest Miss in front of many people. The Imperial Censor of the Left even lost his official position because of this incident. It could be seen that when the Sixth Prince protected someone, he didn't lose to His Ninth Highness.
Moreover, when Sun Rang went to Pingnan General's Office to deliver the betrothal gifts, General Pingnan, his wife, and Ren Xifeng all came to the front courtyard. Even Lü Ping came out with her big belly. She stood beside Ren Xifeng and asked in a low voice, "Little Sister, are you familiar with His Highness the Sixth Prince? Why didn't you tell us earlier that you had such a predestined marriage? Father and Mother have been hard on you for so long. It turns out that you already have someone you like. "
"When did I?" Ren Xifeng stamped her foot, "Sister-in-law, believe me. There's really nothing between His Highness the Sixth Prince and I. I also don't know why he …"
"But you're blushing!" Lü Ping looked at her with a smile, "Even if there was nothing between us before, there will be something between us from now on. Little Sister, you've never blushed for any man before. Do you dare to say that you don't have any feelings for His Highness the Sixth Prince? I've seen His Highness before. To be honest, his looks and talents don't lose to His Highness the Seventh Prince. It's really hard not to be moved. "
Ren Xitao also said, "Little Sister, this is a good thing. You've hidden it from the family for so long."
However, General Ping Nan and his wife didn't look too good. It seemed that they didn't approve of this marriage. Normally, the mother should say something about her daughter's marriage. However, the Sixth Prince's current status was too special. The General's wife did not know how to open her mouth. However, the old general did not care about these things. He stared at Sun Rang and said loudly, "I am indebted to the Sixth Prince for thinking so highly of me. However, the daughters of the General's Residence do not have the intention to cling onto the imperial family, let alone the Sixth Prince. To put it bluntly, if His Highness the Sixth Prince inherits the throne in the future, he will enjoy the entire harem. My daughter will not suffer that. I hope that Eunuch Sun can go back and tell His Highness the Sixth Prince that this old official thanks His Highness the Sixth Prince for his love, but the General's Estate is not worthy of this marriage. "
His words were already quite impolite, but Sun Rang wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said to General Ping Nan, "His Highness already expected that Old General would say this, so he specially sent this servant to pass on a message to Old General. I hope that Old General will listen to it and ask for Eldest Miss Ren's opinion before making a decision. Is that alright?"
General Ping Nan gave a muffled snort, "Speak!"
Sun Rang cleared his throat and raised his voice, "His Highness the Sixth Prince will pass on a message to Ren Family's Eldest Miss. If Ren Family's Eldest Miss doesn't mind not fighting, he is very willing to be alone for the rest of his life."
With one sentence, Ren Xifeng was stunned. General Ping Nan was also stunned. The Old General's mouth was quick as he blurted out, "What did he say? Alone for the rest of his life? No, no, he is the future Emperor. How can he be alone for the rest of his life? " Yesterday, he had sent a memorial to let His Highness the Sixth Prince choose a consort. Today, he came to his house and said that he wanted to be alone for the rest of his life. If those old fellows knew about this, wouldn't they all come to the General's Estate to denounce him? No, no, this wouldn't do.
But when he turned his head, he saw that his daughter's eyes were already revealing a shy expression. His mind exploded. He suddenly realized that with that kind of personality, how could the Sixth Prince come to the General's Estate to give betrothal gifts for no reason? It must be that his daughter had been together with him before! Ai! How could he be so muddle-headed? Why didn't he think of this!
Sun Rang saw the Old General's mood change and knew that there was a chance. Thus, he left the betrothal gifts and quickly slipped away. By the time the people of the General's Estate reacted, the imperial carriage had already turned out of the alley.
Ren Xifeng repeatedly pondered over the Sixth Prince's words. She didn't mind not fighting. Could he really promise her to be alone for the rest of his life? Thinking about it again, she couldn't help but smile. What was she worried about? That was the Sixth Prince! In this world, other than the Seventh Prince who was refined like an immortal, there was only the Sixth Prince who was elegant and scholarly. How could she question such a person? As long as that person said so, then it must be so!
She smiled brightly. Her gloomy mood finally cleared up at this moment. She also finally understood. Unknowingly, that person had already entered her heart. It was just that she had deliberately closed herself off from the world and didn't reveal it. She always complained that the heavens treated her poorly. Everyone else had a perfect life, but her heart had withered.
However, she did not expect that the heavens would leave the best for her, sending the most glorious sovereign of the world right in front of her.
She lowered her head and her cheeks were red. No matter how the family members asked her, she would only reply with one sentence: "If His Highness the Sixth Prince says so, then I will believe him."
What else could General Ping Nan say? His daughter was willing, so why was he still being stubborn? Speaking of which, other than the fact that he was a bit worried about inheriting the throne in the future, he really couldn't find anything bad about His Highness the Sixth Prince. If that kind of person became his son-in-law, not only would his daughter be satisfied, but he would also be secretly happy. Although he didn't want to climb the imperial power to obtain wealth, if one day his daughter really became the Empress of the world, he would also feel honored!
The Old General nodded. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face as he said: "That's good, that's good. Didn't you always say that the Xuan Family's son was good and worried that the wife he married wouldn't be enough to support him? This is good. Others might not believe it, but my own daughter is absolutely trustworthy. Feng 'er, you have to remember this. No matter how high you sit in the future, the first thing you have to think about is the common people of the world and the people of the world. "
The General's wife considered the problem from another angle. She said: "His Highness the Sixth Prince just promised you to only have one person in your life. Then you have to think carefully. He is the future Emperor and the issue of having an heir is something that the whole world is paying attention to. You have to work hard and ask Royal Consort Yu if there is any medicine that can give birth to many children. Only when you guarantee the Imperial Family's heirs can you stop the world's mouths. "
Because of His Highness the Sixth Prince's betrothal gift, Ren Xifeng listened to the family's teachings for an entire day. The four members of the family surrounded her from front to back, left to right, and explained the facts to her from beginning to end. The Old General even taught her how to be an Empress. Lü Ping also used the Lu Family as an example to remind her that no matter what time it was, she absolutely couldn't have a bad heart. Ren Xitao had even more plans. He said: "After younger sister enters the palace, I will resign from the position of General and hand back my military power. Our family can't leave any traces of gossip for younger sister."
Ren Xifeng immediately felt an enormous amount of pressure. But in her heart, she constantly thought, at this moment, what was that person doing?
Inside the Heavenly Hall, Sun Rang told Xuan Tianfeng about what he had seen and heard in the General's Estate. A shadow guard also reported back that on this day, the words that the people in the General's Estate said to Ren Xifeng were repeated without missing a single word.
Xuan Tianfeng thought that this shadow guard of his was really well-rounded. Not only was his martial arts good, but his ability to imitate words was also very good. But … … "Today is really special. In the future, don't go to the General's Estate to investigate."
The shadow guard nodded in response. In a flash, he disappeared into the shadows.
Sun Rang said with a smile: "Your Highness, this servant has already said that you and the Ren Family's young miss are a heaven-sent match. How many times have you done this already? The two of you have cooperated so well. The Old General is a loyal official, and the Ren Family's young miss is also a nimble and straightforward woman. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a heroic spirit. With this kind of woman as the future Empress, it will really give Dashun face! "
His Highness the Sixth Prince smiled bitterly. He didn't think about whether or not he would give Dashun face. It was just that when he was thinking about the imminent marriage, he couldn't help but think of that girl. For him, rather than taking in concubines, it was better to have only one Ren Xifeng. That was more to his liking. The two of them had interacted with each other quite a bit. In this world, other than his mother and Feng Yu Heng, he really didn't have much contact with other women. He couldn't take in a group of people he didn't even know into the palace. As long as he thought about that kind of life, he would have the urge to run away.
Moreover, he still remembered that rainy night when he sent Ren Xifeng back to the fu. When that girl entered the fu, she turned back to look at him. With just one glance, he saw a faint yearning and reluctance. Thus, he understood that Ren Xifeng was also willing to give this betrothal gift.
In the imperial court, no one mentioned to Xuan Tianfeng about taking a wife or taking a concubine. This was because he had already chosen someone. Moreover, it was the eldest young miss of General Ping Nan's family. This combination was really satisfying. Too satisfying!
Right now, the imperial court had been cleansed. The remaining people were all loyal officials. They were all willing to do anything for the sake of Dashun's well-being. Their consideration of matters was more inclined towards the Imperial Family. The eldest young miss of General Ping Nan's family, her status didn't need to be mentioned. She was the old general's daughter. If this kind of person wasn't worthy of being the Empress, then who was?
Also, Ren Xitao had actually returned the few tens of thousands of troops in his hands at this time. This caused people to admire his family even more. They also had a higher opinion of the people in the General's fu.
However, the Sixth Prince said that he would be alone for the rest of his life. This made people slightly worried. Someone tried to persuade the Sixth Prince to change his mood, but without waiting for the Sixth Prince to speak, the Ninth Prince, Xuan Tianming, spoke first. He didn't pressure them and leisurely said: "My Princess Consort and Ren Family's eldest young miss are close friends. The concept of being alone for the rest of his life was instilled by Heng Heng and Ren Family's eldest young miss. How about you go to the Imperial Palace Yu and ask Royal Consort Yu? Listen to what she has to say? "
When people heard this, they all waved their hands. Forget it! Who could clearly reason with Royal Consort Yu! If they angered Royal Consort Yu, then it wouldn't be fun. Dashun's prosperity still depended on Royal Consort Yu! They didn't even have enough time to flatter her, so how could they undermine her?
Thus, the officials didn't mention the matter of expanding the harem. Instead, it was General Ping Nan who gave a guarantee: "Isn't the purpose of expanding the harem to ensure that there will be children? As long as His Highness the Sixth Prince and his wife have enough children, what else do you have to worry about? "
Xuan Tianfeng rubbed his forehead. This future father-in-law of his was really bold and unrestrained!
