Chapter 173 Asking for Marriage

The light in Princess Fengyang's eyes dimmed instantly, and she knew that it was impossible for her to do so. "Then, I am sorry for disturbing General Chen."

Chen Yuenian didn't even look at her, "Well, if Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will go back first."

Princess Fengyang forced a smile and said, "Go back, go back."

A group of people came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Princess Fengyang sat on the swing exhaustedly. Her maid could not think of any words to comfort her and could only advise her to be more positive.

"Your Highness, General Xiao Chen is just that kind of person. He says whatever he wants to say. It's good for him to be like this. His attitude is clear and he tells you directly, so you won't worry too much. So Your Highness doesn't need to be too sad."

Her Highness did not say it explicitly, and General Xiao Chen did not explicitly refuse, but attitude determines everything. Her Highness should have given up now. Why should she hang herself on General Xiao Chen? She is a princess, and she can choose any good man in the world.

Princess Fengyang pouted on the tip of her shoe dejectedly: "I know, I just feel a little unwilling, why must it be a man?"

The maid was speechless. What can I do? I just like men. No, I just like that person, it has nothing to do with gender. Besides, it was your father who arranged the marriage. You should blame your father if you want to.

If General Chen was interested in the noble lady of Shengdu, he would not have waited until this age to get married. It is obvious that he really does not like her.

"Your Highness, please go back early. It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold." The maid took a cloak and put it on Princess Fengyang.

"Lin Yi."

Princess Fengyang was about to leave when she was suddenly called. She looked and found that it was Concubine Jing, who was standing behind the rattan trellis. She didn't know how long she had been standing there.

As Concubine Jing stepped forward, Princess Fengyang subconsciously took a step back, "Mother, why are you here?"

As early as when her maid went to invite Chen Yuenian, Concubine Jing had already discovered it and was waiting here in advance.

Most of Concubine Jing's face was hidden in the darkness, her expression unclear, but her voice was as gentle as usual, "Do you like General Chen?"

Princess Fengyang was a little shy when her mother told her secrets, so she didn't hear the warning in Concubine Jing's words, "Mother, my daughter, I like him."

Concubine Jing nodded and asked again: "What do you like about him?"

Princess Fengyang was confused by this question. "I can't explain it, but I'm not very happy. I've heard about General Chen's heroic deeds since I was a child. Anyone who meets a man like him will be moved."

Imperial Concubine Jing took her hand and sat down, carefully examining Princess Fengyang's face. After many years, her daughter had grown into a beautiful young lady. "Mother understands everything, you have grown up, just tell me who you like, and I will make the decision for you.

But, there is one thing you have to remember, don't mess with the people of the Chen family, and don't even dream of marrying into the Chen family. They and we are two completely different people, and there is always an unbridgeable gap between us."

Princess Fengyang didn't understand why Concubine Jing said it so seriously, so she tilted her head and asked, "Why did mother say that?"

Imperial Concubine Jing dismissed the servants around her, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, she said, "Do you know that the crown prince has been deposed?"

Princess Fengyang hesitated for a while, then nodded, "I know. I've heard about it. It was my brother the crown prince who colluded with the bandits, collected money, and recruited soldiers. But wasn't it my grandfather who investigated this matter in the end?"

Concubine Jing patted her head lovingly, "The bandits were killed by General Chen, and the information was provided by Prime Minister Chen."

Princess Fengyang still didn't quite understand: "I've heard about the bandit incident. General Chen single-handedly suppressed the bandits and was seriously injured. But what does it have to do with Prime Minister Chen?"

"This matter is complicated. You only need to remember one thing. The Chen brothers can dethrone the crown prince if they want to. If they want, they may even dare to seize the throne. They are very dangerous. Don't provoke them, let alone make enemies with them."

If one day Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu really plot to usurp the throne, as people from the previous dynasty, will it be possible for them to stay in this world?

Not provoking them is to leave yourself a chance of survival in the future.

Concubine Jing came to see Princess Fengyang specifically because a few days ago Princess Fengyang went to ask Emperor Liang to marry Chen Yuenian, even as a concubine.

If she went to ask Chen Yuenian, he would definitely not agree. But if it was an arranged marriage, then Chen Yuenian's refusal would be tantamount to disobeying the emperor's order.

Emperor Liang did not agree at the first time. Last time, he arranged a marriage for Chen Yuenian and cheated him once. Chen Yuenian was very unhappy and made him bleed heavily. If it happened again, Chen Yuenian would really dare to take up his sword and go to the Zichen Palace.

Regicide, do you really think that Chen Yuenian wouldn't dare to do it?

Today, Princess Fengyang wanted to see Chen Yuenian's attitude. If Chen Yuenian had even the slightest idea, she would immediately ask Emperor Liang to arrange a marriage for her.

The results are obvious.

Concubine Jing did not dare to say how smart she was, but she did have some foresight. In the entire Daliang, no one dared to pull the prince down except the two brothers of the Chen family.

As for why her father was chosen, firstly, her father was the Minister of Dali Temple, and secondly, her father did not have so many twists and turns in his mind. He was straightforward, never formed cliques for personal gain, was not afraid of offending people, and had the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the previous emperor. He was not afraid or fawning in front of the current emperor.

Princess Fengyang's back was soaked with sweat. She wondered if she acted first and asked Emperor Liang for permission to grant her marriage later, would Chen Yuenian kill her as easily as crushing an ant? He would not even be afraid of the crown prince.

You know, what’s important is not the prince, but the grand tutor behind him.

"But what good will it do them?"

If Concubine Jing knew, she wouldn't be so confused. "Mother doesn't know either, but mother does know that the prince likes the daughter of Xiang Nan. That daughter used to bully General Chen's husband. The prince must have helped her a lot in the past."

Princess Fengyang's breath was choked, and she was almost trembling when she spoke, "Just because of this reason?"

Concubine Jing sighed softly, "Maybe. All I can say is that they have the ability to do so. Don't provoke them."

The prince's party and the Chen family have always kept their distance from each other. The Chen family has produced two first-class people, one civil and one military, and they are already powerful. They do not need to consolidate their position by making friends with others. On the contrary, the prince dare not offend them.

Why would the prince be involved for any reason? This is the only reason that makes sense.

Princess Fengyang was glad that she did not ask for permission directly, and that she first looked at Chen Yuenian's attitude, otherwise she would be the next one: "My daughter understands."

Concubine Jing: "Okay, go back early."

"Yes."

At this time, Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu had become two unforgivable villains.

This was not in line with their original intention. Chen Yuenian was led by Qin Xiwan to suppress the bandits, and the prince was accidentally implicated. Chen Yuechu was just following the clues and did not do it intentionally.

The misinterpreted behavior became the reason for their fear.
