The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 349 349. The Princess

Xiao Muqian traveled day and night. When he caught up with them, it took him thirteen days and more than half of the journey. He could reach Dongdu City in ten days at most.

When he saw the Ninth Prince, he came back to life.

Holding Xiao Ji's autographed letter in his hand, he described the current situation in Liangzhou City again. Naturally, these things would eventually reach Emperor Qi's ears through his mouth. Naturally, the Ninth Prince read it very seriously.

"Yes, General Xiao has done a good job in reorganizing Liangzhou. I feel at ease, and I will reward everyone for my merits when I arrive in the capital."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince."

Xiao Muqian and General Su still have to pretend, not to mention that the pensions and all the honors the soldiers deserve have not yet been officially filed. The Ninth Prince still has his uses.

By coincidence, while the three of them were talking, news from Dongdu City came in.

The Ninth Prince thought it was Emperor Qi's imperial edict to recall him, but he didn't expect that it was Princess Hua Ran who was betrothed to Prince Yu's palace.

When he thought of King Yu's face, his heart was churning!

"Shouldn't it be Princess Qianling who bestows marriage to Your Highness? Why did she become Hua Ran?"

Of course he likes Princess Qianling more. Not only is she handsome and charming, but she also holds real power. A Hua Ran from Prince Yu's palace can't even make a fool of herself, so how can she make him happy.

Unexpectedly, the palace official who came to convey the order said.

"Your Highness, it's better not to think about it. Princess Qian Ling died of illness in Zhongzhou many days ago. Now everyone in the Eastern Capital City knows that His Highness is about to marry Princess Hua Ran. The betrothal gifts from the palace have been sent as usual. Everything will wait until His Highness returns. , if you choose an auspicious day, you can get married immediately."

The betrothal gift has been given, so the matter is really a certainty.

Xu Mingyue also accepted the betrothal gift at first, but then broke off the engagement, and even caused such a commotion.

Now one of them is a prince and the other is a princess. To put it harshly, they are all members of the royal family. They are both prosperous and disadvantaged. How can they withdraw from the marriage?

What's more, Emperor Qi's move was just to prevent him from having any other struggles. Naturally, the imperial decree was urgent and ruthless, and the Ninth Prince could not refute it for a while.

"Your Highness, please accept the order quickly. This is great news."

The palace people looked very much like the Changle palace people with their smiling faces. The queen and the eldest prince now have the honorific title of Prince Ke, and they may not be happy about it.

But now he had no choice but to accept the order, so he had to hold back his temper and said, "Thank you, father, I will obey the order!"

He had to pretend to be happy, but being so depressed made Xiao Muqian and General Su happy.

The Wei family had countless calculations to find such a concubine.

None of the decent people in Dongdu are willing to marry Prince Yu, but now they have become the dignified Ninth Prince's concubine. I'm afraid that Duke Wei and Concubine Wei's expressions at this moment will not be any better than that of the Ninth Prince!

Sure enough, after the palace man left, the Ninth Prince looked gloomy.

Xiao Muqian and General Su didn't want to get into too much trouble with him, so they made an excuse and walked outside.

Among the main tents, only Lian Guang was still at his side.

He is the only trustworthy person around the Ninth Prince, even more so after the lightning strike on the General's Mansion.

So he stepped forward to comfort him.

"Your Highness, don't worry, wait until you return to the Eastern Capital City. I believe that the Duke and the Empress will make plans for His Highness's future."

There was no one inside, so he naturally put his hand on the Ninth Prince's hand affectionately, looking worried for you.

The Ninth Prince doesn't believe anyone now, but he still listens to his words a little more.

He pulled the light and said.

"I have wronged you. The matter between you and me is destined to be dark, but my Highness promises that I will never let you down in the future."

Long Guang knew this from the time he followed the Ninth Prince. His identity could not be exposed, otherwise the Ninth Prince would be endlessly scolded, and the road to hell would be waiting for him, so he didn't argue with that.

Unless the Ninth Prince can successfully ascend the throne, he might as well follow the chickens and dogs to heaven.

So he even opened his mouth to comfort me.

"No matter what His Highness said, as long as it has a place of honor in His Highness's heart, it is enough. For His Highness's great cause, it is better to marry the concubine as early as possible and give birth to the eldest son!"

How could the Ninth Prince not know that he was just unhappy at the thought of him and Hua Ran getting married.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Princess Hua Ran. He has even forgotten what a person looks like, but her family background is just there, of no use at all, and may even become a burden to him.

She is incomparable to Princess Qianling, and even worse than Princess Ke.

It might be feasible to ration it to other princes, but it would be too high to ration it to him.

"Speed ​​up, this prince wants to return to the capital as soon as possible. I don't believe it if I listen to my grandfather and my mother's plans. They will let this matter go unchecked!"

Duke Wei wanted to tell the Ninth Prince his true intention of marrying Princess Hua Ran, but this matter was of great importance and there could not be any mistakes, so it was better to make it clear in person.

On the other side, General Su found some clues through this news.

"Your Majesty is probably jealous of the Ninth Prince. The more prosperous his military exploits are now, the more difficult his life will be after returning to the capital."

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

Even if that person is his own son, the same principle applies.

"If that's the case, then don't we want to add some more glory to him and make the Ninth Prince a double happiness?"

There was disdain in his eyes, and his dislike for the Ninth Prince was barely written on his face.

General Su glanced at Xiao Muqian and felt deeply that this boy was also a thoughtful person, but he was the Ninth Prince, so there was no harm in going too far.

As a result, a piece of news was quietly sent to Prince Ding's Mansion in the capital. Soon, a wave of praise for the Ninth Prince arose throughout the Eastern Capital.

Men are eager to follow suit and become servants of the Ninth Prince's Army. Women are asking family members to show their interest in the Ninth Prince. Even the Wei family's reputation outside is about to rise with the tide.

The Duke of Wei is a veteran of the three dynasties, with great achievements in hard work, and the Concubine of Wei is favored by the Sixth Palace and has outstanding virtues.

The rumors are getting louder and louder. Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace are talking about it. Some even put the matter of establishing a heir apparent on the agenda. Everyone is saying that the Ninth Prince has won the Sacred Heart and may be the future crown prince.

When this rhetoric reached Prince Ke's ears, he became furious.

"How worthy is he? Competing with me for the position of crown prince is unfair! I am the direct descendant of the queen!"

Prince Ke has been determined to win the position of prince since he was a child. Now that the Ninth Prince has done this to him, his reputation has gone to praise him. How can he swallow this sigh of relief.

Recently, he often stayed in Wen Yuwei's outer house, so naturally Wen Yuwei could hear these words.

So he stepped forward to comfort him.
