When Qin Huaiyuan rushed to the study, Yuchi Yan was standing in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back. His eyes were down and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Today, he was wearing a very ordinary light brown cotton robe. His hair was neatly tied up and he wore a black net scarf. He looked like a young master from an ordinary rich family, which was completely different from his usual elegant and noble appearance. It was enough to show how cautious he was when he came today.
Qin Huaiyuan judged that Yuchi Yan might have discovered that there were Spies around him.
Hearing the footsteps, Yuchi Yan recovered from his thoughts. He turned to look at Qin Huaiyuan and bowed with a smile. "Grand Preceptor Qin."
Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Grand Preceptor Qin, you don't have to be so polite." Yuchi Yan held his hands and said with a smile, "I don't know if I'm disturbing you by coming here abruptly."
"Your Highness, you don't have to say that. It's my honor to have you here. Does Your Highness have something important to say? "
The two of them sat down on the round-backed chairs. Qi Tai served tea and closed the door considerately. He walked to the door of the courtyard and stood guard at a distance.
Yuchi Yan frowned and said, "I did come here today for two important things. Prince Ning's people got the news from Xi Hua City that Da Zhou is at war with us again. The battle has already started in Xi Hua City."
Qin Huaiyuan heard this and frowned deeply.
Xi Hua City was not far from the capital. It was also on an important port. Whether it was by land or by sea, Xi Hua City was an important transportation route. If Xi Hua City was breached, Dayan's destruction would accelerate rapidly.
Yuchi Yan saw Qin Huaiyuan's heavy expression and sighed helplessly. "The two generals guarding Xi Hua City are both Grand Preceptor Qin's brothers-in-law. I don't know how they are now."
"The two brothers-in-law are devoted to the country. The day they guarded Xi Hua City, they were determined to die rather than submit. No matter what, we have a better chance of winning if we can defend Xi Hua City." Qin Huaiyuan frowned and said, "This news came just in time. Presumably, everyone in the court will know about it tomorrow. When the time comes, there will be another debate. We can also discuss countermeasures in advance."
Yuchi Yan nodded and said somewhat helplessly, "What's the use of those people arguing? Do you think Da Zhou is afraid of our curses? If cursing is useful, I'm willing to learn how to learn to curse every day. The most important thing is to defeat the Great Zhou. Prince Ning still wants to go to war, but Father Emperor won't allow it for now. "
. he was.......... of's.... but he was of the of the imperial family's....... to discuss to discuss to...... to be..
When they talked about politics, the two forgot the time. By the time everything was finished, the sky had darkened.
Yuchi Yan wasn't someone who didn't know etiquette. He planned to take his leave.
However, just as he stood up, Yuchi Yan remembered another important matter.
He said awkwardly, "Dare I ask the Grand Preceptor, did my father summon the girls of the manor to the palace today?"
The Emperor had summoned three people, but the Crown Prince only mentioned girls. Qin Huaiyuan understood.
"There is such a thing. Why does the Crown Prince ask?"
Yuchi Yan said nervously, "Did father … make things difficult for, uh, reprimand the girls of the manor?"
Qin Huaiyuan had been wondering why the Emperor suddenly wanted to bestow a marriage to Qin Yining. Hearing the Crown Prince's question, he was even more certain of his guess. However, he didn't know what the Crown Prince had done to cause the Emperor's fear.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and deliberately said in a relaxed tone, "To tell you the truth, the Emperor and Empress summoned my daughter today to bestow a marriage to her."
Yuchi Yan was surprised. Then, joy appeared on his face. He asked anxiously, "Who does father want to bestow your daughter to?"
Qin Huaiyuan said, "The Empress said that her nephew and my daughter are a match made in heaven."
Yuchi Yan's joy froze on his face. His face, which had been red a moment ago, turned pale. When his joy died down, he didn't let his imagination run wild. He also didn't hold onto fantasies that he shouldn't have. He thought about the whole situation. Suddenly, he slumped back into his chair and muttered, "In the end, I hurt others and myself."
Qin Huaiyuan saw the Crown Prince like this. His heart skipped a beat.
The Crown Prince was like this. Could it be that he and Sister Yi had already …
Impossible, they didn't have the chance to meet at all. He believed that the Crown Prince had taken a liking to Sister Yi the last time he saw her. After all, as men, they understood each other's natures best. Everyone loved beauty, and Sister Yi was so beautiful.
However, they shouldn't have developed further. Why did the Crown Prince have such an expression?
"Your Highness, please forgive this official's impudence. What exactly happened? This official doesn't understand why the Emperor and Empress suddenly wanted to bestow a marriage today. "
At this time, Yuchi Yan only thought that Qin Yining was going to be betrothed to Empress Cao's nephew. How could he have the mind to think about anything else? Disheartened, he said, "It's my fault. The last time I saw Fourth Young Miss, I couldn't forget her. I went back and drew a portrait of her. Who knew that one of my eunuchs was sent by the Empress and told her such a secret. I knew that she would make things difficult for me, but I didn't expect it to be like this. "
So it was like this!
Qin Huaiyuan immediately understood the Emperor's fear.
Seeing the Crown Prince's despondent appearance, Qin Huaiyuan was both angry and amused.
In reality, he really did like the person in front of him about Qin Yining's marriage. After all, even if he didn't marry the Crown Prince, their relationship was still there. It was better to let their relationship become closer.
Moreover, although the Crown Prince didn't have any great political insight, he was a kind and honest person. He also had the spirit and gentleness of a scholar. If his daughter was to be with him, as long as he managed her well, her life wouldn't be difficult.
The Crown Prince was also the heir to the throne. In the future, he would be the emperor. Qin Huaiyuan thought that even if Dayan was in turmoil and Da Zhou was fighting fiercely, the country wouldn't be destroyed in a short period of time, right? All of this was uncertain, and there was still room to work hard and turn things around.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyuan smiled comfortingly at the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I haven't finished speaking. Although the Emperor intended to grant the marriage, that young master of the Cao family was rude in front of the Emperor. His behavior was unbearable. He made my daughter cry out of shame and anger. She almost went to hang herself. Therefore, the marriage was canceled."
"What?" Yuchi Yan stood up and asked anxiously, "Is the fourth young miss alright?"
As soon as he spoke, he met Qin Huaiyuan's slightly mocking gaze. The Crown Prince's face flushed red. However, it was too late for regrets. He had already expressed his feelings with what he said just now. Fortunately, he didn't have any scruples. "I won't hide it from you, Grand Preceptor. I … fell in love with the fourth young miss at first sight. Please forgive my rudeness."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a pure and innocent heart. It is my daughter's fortune that you took a fancy to her."
Hearing this, Yuchi Yan's eyes lit up with joy. "Grand Preceptor Qin, do you mean that you don't object to this marriage?"
"The Crown Prince's favor is the fortune of eight lifetimes. I can't thank you enough. How could I object?"
