After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus
Chapter 2: The Servant Is Unwilling
Yan Yunshu was reborn.
In the hall, the imperial power was majestic. Yan Yunshu glanced at her grandfather and uncle not far away, and made up her mind instantly.
She stood up, walked step by step to the center of the banquet, and saluted the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing this scene, Xu Jingye's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he could not show any trace on his face.
He smiled and looked at the shameless woman who was pestering him.
It was this vicious woman who prevented him from being with the woman he loved most. He was unwilling to accept that he could not be the one he loved as a prince.
He pretended to look casually at Yan Yunshu's half-sister, Yan Shuyao.
Yan Shuyao happened to be looking at him with grievance and resentment, her face full of heartbreak, and everything was just right.
Everyone at the banquet was whispering.
It has been said that the daughter of the Prime Minister's family is capricious and cruel, insidious and vicious, has no respect for her elders, bullies her younger sisters, and abuses servants, and her deeds are too numerous to list.
Such a woman was not worthy of entering the royal family, but fate played a trick on her. The late emperor and his grandfather, Marquis Wen, lived and died together on the battlefield, and promised his grandchildren marriage.
But after waiting for many years, there was not a single girl among the marquis's grandchildren, and there was not a single princess among the royal heirs.
So he could only choose Yan Yunshu, the granddaughter of the Marquis's family, to marry into the royal family to fulfill this promise.
Your Majesty has made such a huge sacrifice to keep the promise made by the late Emperor. It is truly admirable...
All the court officials looked at the emperor with admiration.
The emperor was very pleased with this. He nodded and was about to grant the marriage with a wave of his hand, but Yan Yunshu kowtowed heavily and knelt on the ground and could not get up.
"Your Majesty, I do not wish to do so."
The rustling sounds at the banquet suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Everyone thought they heard wrong.
After all, everyone knows that the current emperor's Achilles' heel is someone who disobeys him. The last person who disobeyed him had his head cut off.
The eldest prince Xu Jingye was stunned and looked at Yan Yunshu as if he had seen a ghost!
It was quiet inside the hall, and outside, it was snowing.
Tiny snowflakes fell quietly to the ground and then disappeared.
The wind blew, and a snowflake passed through the window and landed on the back of Yan Yunshu's hand. She remembered her previous life. It was at this moment that she almost immediately said the three words "I do".
Things have changed and people have ceased to exist. Yan Yunshu is no longer the Yan Yunshu of the past.
She would rather die now than help Xu Jingye, and even more so than harm her grandparents' family.
So, Yan Yunshu, who had made up her mind, spoke loudly again.
"Your Majesty, I do not wish to marry the Crown Prince."
Loud voice.
In the huge hall, the voice of reluctance even echoed twice before gradually fading away.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp and looked at Yan Yunshu who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. Xu Jingye couldn't believe his ears.
Although he hated Yan Yunshu extremely, he needed the influence of Yan Yunshu's maternal grandfather. Now that Yan Yunshu refused to grant him the marriage, it was a bolt from the blue for him.
He coughed muffledly, trying to attract Yan Yunshu's attention.
But Yan Yunshu knelt steadily, unmoved at all.
Xu Jingye was stunned. Was this still the shameless Yan Yunshu who had been pestering him for years? He was utterly shocked.
The emperor, high and mighty, had a deep gaze, showing no emotion, except for a hint of barely perceptible displeasure between his brows.
"You'd better think about it carefully. You should know that marriage is a major event in life and you can't afford to be petty!" The implication is that if I am unhappy, you should be prepared to bear the consequences.
But Yan Yunshu had never been so determined before, she still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Your Majesty, Yan Yunshu is deeply grateful for your invitation to marriage. I am deeply concerned that you will remember the promise between the late emperor and my grandfather. However, the eldest prince is unrivaled in the world, and Yan Yunshu knows that she is unworthy of being his match, so she dared to express her unwillingness. Your Majesty has made such a solemn promise today. Regardless of whether it comes true or not, the people will respect you even more and be grateful for the prosperity you have brought to the people of Tianze. With the ruler and the people of Tianze united as one, our country will surely be forever strong and prosperous."
It was originally a rejection of the marriage, but the words gave Xu Jingye enough face and thanked the emperor. Every word was full of sonorous praise for the prosperous era.
It can be said that every word is sincere and moving.
The displeasure between the emperor's brows relaxed slightly.
But no matter how nice the words sound, they cannot overcome the rules. After all, the engagement letter that the late emperor received that day was from Yan Yunshu.
Since this concerns the fate of the country, Yan Yunshu must enter his royal family no matter what.
But the Tianze Kingdom has always had a small number of royal heirs, and he only has two princes.
One is the eldest prince Xu Jingye.
One is the second prince Xu Jinghuai, who is afraid of marriage and has questionable sexual orientation.
Putting aside his personality, in terms of smoothly continuing the royal lineage, the eldest prince is the only choice no matter how you think about it.
But looking at Yan Yunshu's look of preferring death to marriage, and then looking at the person closest to him, Yan Yunshu's grandfather, the highly respected Marquis Wen who had served three emperors.
It seems that it cannot be forced.
His Majesty is having a rare headache.
Everyone at the table began to whisper to each other.
"I've only ever heard that the daughter of the prime minister's family is evil-minded and extremely foolish, but I never knew she was so eloquent!"
"That's not the point. The point is, isn't it said that the daughter of the Prime Minister's family has been obsessed with the eldest prince for many years and will not marry anyone other than him? Why is she refusing the marriage now?"
"Everyone in this imperial city knows that Yan Yunshu, the daughter of the Prime Minister, loves the eldest prince to death. She has done all kinds of shameful things for him. Now, is she relying on her maternal family's support to deliberately refuse the marriage, do the opposite, and win the eldest prince's favor, and then beg him to come back?"
"That's outrageous! What you said makes sense. After all, she's the granddaughter of the old marquis who lived through three emperors! The original engagement was also made by the old marquis and the late emperor!"
"Could it be that he has gone mad because he couldn't get what he wanted?"
"This is such a lunatic! How can she be worthy of our gentle and refined Crown Prince?"
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, the emperor could only look at the old marquis beside him.
"In your opinion, Elder Wen, how should this matter be handled? I don't want to embarrass your granddaughter, but her birth certificate has already been accepted by our royal family. This concerns the fate of our nation, and I absolutely cannot break my promise..."
Lord Wen, Yan Yunshu's grandfather, had no choice but to step forward to save the situation.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the late emperor only mentioned the marriage of grandchildren and took away my grandson Yun Shu's engagement letter, but he did not specify which prince the marriage was to be with! Isn't there still the Second Prince?"
Everyone gasped.
As everyone knows, the emperor has only two princes. One is the eldest prince Xu Jingye, Prince Ye, who is only twenty years old, which is the age of coming of age.
One is the second prince Xu Jinghuai, also known as Prince Huai. He is only eighteen years old and has made great military achievements. It is rumored that he is insidious and cruel, extremely scheming, violent and eccentric.
All the rules are just decorations in front of him.
He never attended any grand events, court meetings, or gatherings. He was only interested in killing.
He made the neighboring countries tremble in fear. Although he was regarded as the god of war by the people of Tianze Kingdom, he was the most dangerous god of war.
But this god of war is not interested in women and seems to have a sexual habit.
