Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1688

By marrying the sister of the runner-up, the family will have an extra support in the court.

Their father was planning to interfere in Qiu Hongyan's marriage and wanted to marry into the family of Lord Lu, the Minister of Taichang Temple.

It wasn’t Lord Lu himself, but Lord Lu’s younger brother.

The matchmaker said that Lord Lu's younger brother was handsome and well-versed in the books of sages. If Qiu Hongyan married him, she would be able to become his principal wife. This would be a very good marriage.

Qiu Hongyuan told this to Qiu Zhiyan, trying to get a response. He was now in awe of his son and spoke carefully.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Hongyan heard it and asked sincerely, "Father, didn't you sell me to the princess for three thousand taels of silver?"

The implication is, who has the right to make the decision?

Qiu Hongyuan was shameless. "We are all relatives. What's the point of selling or not? How can such a joke count?"

Qiu Zhiyan had no expression on his face, and only said, "If it's signed and sealed, then it's no joke. Father is ready to face the lawsuit, so just go ahead and make the arrangements. I don't care about this matter."

Qiu Hongyuan was extremely angry, but he had no idea what to do.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend Princess Haiyan now, let alone his own son, who was the runner-up in the imperial examination and brought honor to the family.

The old man of the Qiu family has spoken, and the next head of the family will be handed over directly to his grandson Qiu Zhiyan, and everyone will have to rely on him for their livelihood from now on.

However, the news that the Lu family came to propose marriage eventually reached the ears of the Huaiyang Earl's Mansion and Huo Shiwu, which made them very anxious.

The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyang once again brought a matchmaker to propose marriage for Huo Shiwu. This time, Qiu Zhiyan gave a definite answer, saying that his sister would wait until the end of this year's martial arts examination before discussing marriage.

Huo Siwu understood what Qiu Zhiyan meant. If he passed the martial arts examination, he could marry Qiu Hongyan, but if he failed, he would miss the chance to marry her.

In the past, he would have definitely complained. But this time, he ran to Shi Anxia and said, "Help me keep my wife safe and let her wait for me to pass the imperial examination."

Shi Anxia agreed with a smile.

Huo Shiwu has made his mind clear and is working hard to prepare for the military examination. In addition, the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion does not care about Qiu Hongyan's illegitimate status. Shi Anxia is happy to see all of this.

She knew that the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion simply wanted to make up for what they had owed to her son over the years, so she was willing to fulfill her son's wishes in everything.

If Qiu Hongyan marries him, her life will definitely not be bad.

Bei Hui knew the whole story clearly, so she used it to make Qiu Hongyan happy.

But Qiu Hongyan's mind was not on these little things, she just wanted to do something for her sister Xia'er.

Like her, there was another person who also stayed in the Young Master's Mansion and refused to leave. That was the Little Princess of Mu Su, Hong Que.

Ever since she found out that An Xia was pregnant, she moved into the Young Master's Mansion and never returned to the Vina tribe's embassy in Beijing.

Emperor Mingde was very generous to the Vina tribe. He allocated a house to serve as the tribe's embassy and named the two girls "Princess of Peace", allowing them to live in the northern capital as princesses.

Return a favor. King Wazhen of the Vina tribe led his people, as well as the friendly forces of several neighboring tribes, and all expressed their willingness to follow Emperor Mingde to the battlefield and contribute to the North Wing.

Firstly, they had a grudge against the State of Wan, and secondly, in order to show their loyalty, they clearly stood on the side of the Northern Wing.

Originally this was unwise. Once a war broke out, the tribe would do their best to hide as far away as possible, for fear of being affected.

But the Vina tribe insisted on following the war, so how could the others fall behind? Once they fell behind, the treatment they received in the North Wing would be different.

However, Emperor Mingde rejected the tribe's good intention of sending troops to join the war.
