The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

“As the princess said, they are not husband and wife, but more like partners.

I think the mistress of Prince Yu's mansion should be kind, generous, gentle and virtuous. The most important thing is that she can understand my humble servant's heart."

"It just so happens that my cousin is like this, and I am already engaged to her, isn't this a match made in heaven?

What does Princess Minhui think? "

Every word Xiao Li said was like a slap in Princess Minhui's face.

She had never been so embarrassed as she was today.

Why? Why on earth was this happening? Princess Minhui felt as if her heart had been torn into pieces, bloody and tangled.

He clearly knew that she loved him, how could he treat her so cruelly!

It was all Shen Baozhao's fault! It was all her fault! She had taken away the person who was supposed to belong to her.

At this moment, Princess Minhui was like a devil who had fallen into hell. She swore that one day Shen Baozhao would fall into her hands and be cut into pieces!

But Princess Minhui still had some rationality. She knew that continuing would only make her more embarrassed, so she sat down.

If flames could spew out of her eyes, Shen Baozhao would have been burned to ashes by her.

Princess Minhui stopped talking on this side. Madam Xiao stood up and said to Xiao Li jokingly, "Li'er, you kid, why are you talking nonsense?

When did you get engaged to Miss Shen? How come mother didn't know about it?"

"Why don't you quickly apologize to His Majesty? You shouldn't sacrifice your life just because your grandparents don't want Miss Shen to enter the Crown Prince's Mansion.

As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, I think His Majesty will forgive your punishment because of your filial piety."

As soon as Madam Xiao said this, it was like putting Xiao Li on the fire.

She was unwilling to do so, but if she did not come forward to clarify, would Shen Baozhao really marry her son and become the mistress of Prince Yu's Mansion in the future?

What about the marriage that she had verbally agreed upon with her brother, Marquis Xuanping? Would her daughter Xiao Yuhuan really have to divorce?

What's more, Princess Minhui was right. Shen Baozhao's status was too low and he was definitely not worthy of the Prince Yu's Mansion.

The Prince Yu's Mansion has a superior status. As long as Xiao Li admits his mistake, Madam Xiao believes that the emperor will not blame him.

Emperor Chengde saw the turn of events and turned his head to look at Xiao Li, "Prince Yu, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

When Prince Yu saw that Madam Xiao actually jumped out, she openly accused her son of deceiving the emperor in front of Emperor Chengde.

He cursed in his heart, "Stupid woman!" When he first hired her as his daughter-in-law, he did not agree. The reputation of Xuanping Marquis's Mansion in Kyoto was not very good, and servants were often beaten and scolded.

It was the eldest son who insisted on marrying her, saying that he had bumped into her at the temple fair and wanted to be responsible for her.

I thought that after years of training by my wife, Madam Xiao would become a better person, but she is still so stupid, only caring about her own wishes without considering the overall situation.

"Reporting to His Majesty, Li'er's marriage was decided by the prince and the princess a long time ago. We have never told Li'er's parents about it, so they are not aware of it.

I personally think that it is only natural for me to arrange the marriage of the heir to the palace, and there is nothing wrong with that.”

"Gu, you questioned her without asking for the whole story. You have violated the seven rules of a woman, so why don't you leave now?"

At this moment, Prince Yu was very prestigious, completely different from the man who had just pulled Queen Mother Cui's robe and made a scene.

Madam Xiao was also somewhat frightened. What if she angered Prince Yu and he really divorced her and sent her back to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion according to the seven grounds for divorce?

It's better to quit while you're ahead. Anyway, it's just a dream for Shen Baozhao to marry into Prince Yu's mansion. She has a thousand ways to make this impossible.

She was obsessed and shouldn't have raised questions in the temple.

Madam Xiao knelt on the ground to apologize and then withdrew.

"Heh," Xiao Yuanhuai sneered, "The Prince of Yu County is engaged to Miss Shen. Do you have a marriage certificate?"

Xiao Li was a little confused, but Xiao Yuanhuai's question hit the nail on the head. He had come up with this idea at the last minute, so how could he produce a marriage certificate?

Xiao Yuanhuai also concluded this. If Zhao Zhao was really engaged to Xiao Li, how could she have married the Prince of Lu in her previous life?

Prince Yu protected his grandson and answered Xiao Yuanhuai's question, "There is no marriage certificate. It was decided by me and my son-in-law Shen Siye myself."

Master Shen II had been extremely anxious for a long time, and when Prince Yu mentioned this to him, even if he was not very smart, he knew that his father-in-law was doing this for his daughter's good.

Then he came out to prove what Prince Yu said. "It is true. I have already arranged my daughter's marriage with my father-in-law.

Since both families knew the truth, they did not write a marriage certificate. "

Although their lies seemed clumsy in Xiao Yuanhuai's eyes, they made sense to everyone else.

Xiao Yuanhuai insisted, "Uncle Wang, according to the Dali laws, marriages without a marriage certificate are not protected by law."

Xiao Li understood the implication of Xiao Yuanhuai's words.

He stretched out his right hand, with long fingers and distinct knuckles. He took off the hairpin on his head and raised it.

Everyone looked at the jade hairpin in his hand curiously, and heard Xiao Li's sonorous voice saying, "Although we don't have a marriage certificate, we have a token of love."

"This jade hairpin is the token of love between me and my cousin Zhao."

Xiao Yuanhuai didn't believe it. He had been monitoring Shen Baozhao for so long and had never seen her do anything excessive with Xiao Li.

He sneered, "Prince Yu, you wouldn't just take out a hairpin and say it's a token of love, right?"

"Of course not. Look, everyone. The jade hairpin in Cousin Zhao's hair is made from the same piece of jade as the one in my hand.

Moreover, the words on the two hairpins were carved by me personally. If King Huai doesn’t believe it, you can take it and appreciate it.”

After hearing what Xiao Li said, Shen Baozhao understood. He reached out and pulled out the hairpin on his head, and his three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her fair skin, set against her black hair, shone like jade. Her black eyes were as clear as lacquer and spotless.

Xiao Yuanhuai was actually staring at them in a trance, and took the two hairpins of the same length with half belief and half doubt.

No matter the color or the water head, they are exactly the same. As Xiao Li said, these two hairpins are made from the same jade.

There is a hairpin with a naughty puppy carved on it, and a small word "Li" carved on it, which cannot be seen unless you look carefully.

He noticed Zhao Zhao's hairpin in Jiuxiao Palace today, but he never thought it was given by Xiao Li.

The other hairpin has a rabbit carved on it, and naturally, the word "Zhao" is engraved on it.

The two jade hairpins lay quietly in Xiao Yuanhuai's broad palms. Although they were crystal clear and cold, they were like karmic fire, corroding his hands to pieces.

"This dog and this rabbit are exactly the zodiac signs of me and my cousin Zhao. Does King Huai believe it this time?" Xiao Li said.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanhuai gradually looked at Xiao Li, his eyes full of coldness.
