Chapter 124: The Marriage Proposal Is Grand

Jiang Tingyi was startled, his eyes fell on Mu Xiuyu's handsome face, his expression was slightly stiff.

This was the second time that Mu Xiuyu emphasized that there was only a misunderstanding between him and Yan Li.

The implication was clear, he did not want to offend Yan Li.

Especially when he saw the dozen or so imperial guards standing in front of him, he was more certain of Yan Li's importance in the emperor's heart, and Prince Yu did not dare to take the risk of offending her.

Mu Xiuyu had such awareness, but the prince did not.

Jiang Tingyi thought of the last time the prince came to the Jiang family, he did not take Yan Li seriously - if the Ninth Prince had not come in time that time, there might have been another conflict.

Thinking of this, he could not help but compare the prince and Prince Yu in his heart, and a sense of fear came to his mind.

He was standing behind the prince that time.

If the Ninth Prince had not been there, the conflict between the prince and Yan Li would most likely be reported to the emperor by the imperial guards, and the Jiang family would inevitably be implicated again.

Jiang Tingyi took a breath and nodded slowly: "Your Highness Prince Yu, please rest assured. Yan Li is now a princess appointed by the emperor. The Jiang family will abide by the proper etiquette and will not be rude."

The prince is no match for Prince Yu.

Jiang Tingyi's mood suddenly became heavy when he thought of this, and even his steps into the Liuli Courtyard slowed down a lot.

"Your Highness Prince Yu." Nanny An was tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Seeing the two of them coming, she bowed and saluted, "The princess is practicing calligraphy and has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her."

Mu Xiuyu smiled and said, "Please ask Nanny An to pass on the message again, saying that I was rude today, and ask Princess Nanyang to forgive my mistakes and condescend to meet me."

Nanny An looked embarrassed.

"I will leave after a few words." Mu Xiuyu said, "If it is not convenient to meet, I can talk outside."

After all, he is a prince, and his attitude is so low. Nanny An really has no reason to continue to embarrass him, so she can only bow: "Please wait for a moment, Your Highness Prince Yu."

Nanny An turned and walked into the room.

Yan Li stood in front of the desk, concentrating on practicing calligraphy, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes as cold as snow.

She heard everything Mu Xiuyu said, so Nanny An didn't need to repeat it, "Go tell Mu Xiuyu that there is no antidote for the poison that Gu Heyu has been poisoned with, it will only hurt for a while, and there will be no major damage to the body."

Nanny An nodded her head, turned and walked out, repeating this sentence to Mu Xiuyu word for word.

After listening, Mu Xiuyu quickly understood that Yan Li was deliberately teaching them a lesson, warning him not to set his sights on her again in the future.

As a prince, Mu Xiuyu had never suffered such a big loss in his life, and he was inevitably angry.

But he was not an impulsive and brainless person. One lesson was enough. It would be no good for him to continue to provoke Yan Li.

Knowing that he could not get the antidote, he simply stopped pestering her and quickly nodded and left.

Jiang Tingyi sent him out, silent all the way.

"Why do you look so worried?" Mu Xiuyu glanced at him, pretending not to know what he was thinking. "Princess Nanyang is just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. With the blessing of the princess's status, it is normal for her to have some temper. Mr. Jiang does not need to take it to heart."

Not yet reached the age of marriage?

Jiang Tingyi recalled that during the period of time when the engagement was broken off, Yan Li's behavior was not like a little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage.

The visible loss of power of the queen, her son, and the Jiang family was all caused by Yan Li.

Her words, actions, eyebrows, and demeanor were completely different from usual.

What happened to Yan Li?

Jiang Tingyi was puzzled.

After Mu Xiuyu left, he turned around and went to his grandfather's study.

After telling his grandfather what happened today, after a long silence, Master Jiang only said: "Don't get too close to King Yu."

Jiang Tingyi was enlightened by this sentence, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he could only nod his head in response.

No more troubles were caused in the next few days.

Yan Li stayed quietly in Liuliyuan to practice calligraphy, martial arts, and read books, without being disturbed.

Jiang Jingyue continued to be trained by the two maids.

No one in the Jiang family, from Master Jiang and Old Lady Jiang to the three brothers, bothered Yan Li again.

On the day when the Ninth Prince made an engagement, the whole imperial city was almost boiling.

Especially the unmarried ladies of each family.

After hearing the noise, they took their maids out early, quietly occupied the best view of the best restaurants or teahouses in the best locations in the imperial city, and watched excitedly this scene that was more grand than the prince marrying a concubine.

The scene was huge and stretched for ten miles.

The wheels of the carriages were loaded with rich betrothal gifts, and the long procession was heading to a certain courtyard in the south of the city in an orderly manner, which made the noble ladies envious.

"I heard that the Ninth Prince bought a separate courtyard for Princess Nanyang, specifically for these betrothal gifts."

A girl held her chin and looked out the window, her eyes shining: "I'm so envious! If I can have such a husband in my life, I will die without regrets."

A girl in a blue skirt frowned and said: "I heard that the Jiang family is not good to Princess Nanyang, and the Ninth Prince gave these betrothal gifts to Princess Nanyang alone. This wave looks quite comfortable."

"It's indeed comfortable." Shen Huifu, the legitimate daughter of Shen Yushi, stood aside, looking at the endless carriages on the long street with envy. "Before Princess Nanyang was named a princess, she was just a cousin fostered in the Jiang family. She had an engagement with the prince, but the prince said she was not decent. Don't you think this accusation is very hurtful?"

The girl in the blue skirt thought thoughtfully: "It is indeed hurtful."

If Yanli was really not decent, would the Ninth Prince be willing to marry her?

The Ninth Prince, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, should have a better vision than the Crown Prince, right?

So there must be something behind the cancellation of the engagement, and anyone with a brain will understand it after a little thought.

The girl holding her chin said calmly: "The Crown Prince is the heir to a country. With such a husband, which woman would be stupid enough to have an affair with another man?" Tianlai Novel Network

Shen Huifu nodded: "And the incident happened in the Jiang family's mansion. If there really was an outsider entering, would the Jiang family masters not know? How could Princess Nanyang have the opportunity to contact an outsider?"

The girl in the blue skirt concluded: "So this must be a frame-up."

As for why Yan Li was framed, the reason is even simpler, because the Crown Prince did not want to marry an orphan of low status, because the Jiang family wanted Jiang Jingyue to be the Crown Princess.

In short, no matter what the reason is, an orphan with no backing and no background will be bullied by others?

Fortunately, good things come after bad times, and blessings come from disasters.

Unexpectedly, because of the broken engagement, Yan Li, an orphan, won the emperor's love and became the Princess of Nanyang, and was granted marriage to the Ninth Prince.

Now, when they meet in the future, the prince will have to respectfully call her the Ninth Emperor Aunt. I wonder if he regrets it?

"Now the Jiang family has lost more than they gain. Jiang Jingyue has become the Crown Princess as she wished, but something happened to the Queen..."

"Hush." ​​Shen Huifu frowned and hurriedly stopped the girl from talking, "Are you going to die? You dare to talk about the abolition of the Queen?"

The girls fell silent, and the teahouse fell into a brief silence.
