MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 673 [Fan] No colorful phoenix with double flying wings (15)
Pingyang originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble for her mother to make up her mind. Unexpectedly, within a few days, her mother said that she agreed to marry her to cousin Pei.
After all, apart from the disadvantage of being in a poor family, Pei Yunqian is really satisfactory in everything.
Besides, he is capable and will not worry about being able to get ahead in the future.
Princess Yongqin only has one daughter, Pingyang. Regardless of whether Huiming’s words are true or not, Princess Yongqin cannot let her only precious daughter be in danger.
When Pingyang learned that her mother had promised to marry her to her cousin Pei, she was counting her fingers in the room when she would return from the camp. When she suddenly heard the good news brought by Yuzhu, she was so surprised that she almost couldn't believe it. After confirming the news, she immediately put on her coat and went out.
She was going to the City Patrol Division to find her cousin Pei, and she wanted to tell him the news in person.
She had no regrets in her previous life, but in this life, she finally got her wish and could stay with him.
As soon as Ping Yang walked to the gate, he saw a group of eunuchs heading straight towards the palace gate holding imperial edicts.
Pingyang’s heart immediately sank.
Seeing the imperial edict reminded her of the marriage decree issued by Emperor Ming in her previous life. In this life, because of her planning, her grandmother did not enter the palace to give instructions to Emperor Ming. But she still couldn't change her fate?
The cold wind of winter is raging, and Pingyang stands in the wind and snow, and my heart is pounding with nervousness.
"Congratulations, Princess. The saint has decreed that you will be married to the third son of the Duke of Zhenguo. The servants are here to announce the decree. Princess, Princess, did you hear what the servants said?"
Pingyang felt as if thousands of bees had entered his mind, leaving only a "buzzing" sound, and despair spread.
Is fate really so unfair? She has tried her best, but she still can't change it.
Pingyang felt a lightness on her legs. She leaned back and fainted.
When she woke up, it was already noon on the second day.
Concubine Lan and Concubine Yongqin were guarding her side. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both frowning. It seemed that they were frightened by Pingyang's sudden unconsciousness. Now that Pingyang finally woke up, the two hurriedly came over to her. , a tense exchange of greetings.
Pingyang opened her mouth, but before the words came out, tears started to flow down. She choked and asked, "Did the saint give me a marriage to Li Xiang?"
Seeing his grandmother nod, Pingyang closed his eyes in despair.
When Princess Yongqin saw this, she wiped her tears sadly and said, "As soon as the marriage decree came, my child fainted from exhaustion. It shows that Brother Xiang is really incompatible with my daughter."
"Then what can be done?" Concubine Lan looked at her haggard little granddaughter and sighed: "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, this matter can no longer be reversed."
Is it really impossible to change things anymore?
Could it be that in this life she still cannot escape the bad luck of her previous life?
Recalling the embarrassing situation she had been in between Li Xiang and Jiao Xing in her previous life, she had suffered enough from the frustration of that life.
Recalling the silent protection Cousin Pei had given her in his previous life, he had never married a wife in his life because of her. He watched himself marry Li Xiang and have children, but he had to endure the loneliness alone. Her cousin must have suffered more than she did.
Thinking of these, Pingyang suddenly felt endless courage. No, she couldn't accept her fate. For the sake of cousin Pei and herself, she had to find a way to reverse it.
In the town government’s mansion.
At this moment, Li Xiang, who had also received the will to marry, felt refreshed and his face was filled with a smile of infinite satisfaction.
Holding the imperial edict of marriage, she could not help but recall the scene in her mind of that day at the princess's residence, when Pingyang stood up for the little palace maid.
From that moment on, Li Xiang, who had never planned to marry, made up his mind to marry this kind-hearted woman.
“What? Are you very happy?”
Li Xiang was smiling happily here. Li Xiang came over and patted his shoulder, warning: "Since you and the emperor's uncle have prayed hard for a marriage, you must treat others well in the future."
When Li Xiang heard this, he couldn't help being startled and asked hurriedly: "Second brother, how did you know that it was me who asked for the marriage from the emperor's uncle?"
Li Ling looked at his frightened younger brother with disappointment on his face. He Zunzun taught: "If you dare to do it, why do you dare not do it?"
Li Xiang scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't dare to accept it, but the last time my mother went to propose marriage to my aunt, my aunt and the concubine didn't agree. In desperation, I asked the emperor's uncle to grant me the marriage. "Yes." He glanced at his brother and hesitated: "I'm just afraid that my mother will find out about this and blame me."
How could Li Ling know these things? After hearing his brother's words, he immediately darkened his face and reprimanded: "Since I don't want to, why do you use such means to ask for help? What you do is really unethical."
Li Xiang had always been afraid of Li Ling, his stern brother. Now seeing him angry, he turned pale and hesitated in reply: "Second brother, you are also married to a wife. You didn't care about her for your second sister-in-law." The girl Qingyu jumped into the river to save others without caring about her own life. Now that I have met the woman I like, how can I give up for nothing? I am not willing to do so."
As he said that, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ling timidly, and muttered: "You should judge others by yourself, brother should be considerate of me."
“I understand your ass!”
Li Ling was so angry with his younger brother that he almost lost his temper. He swore in a polite way and reprimanded harshly: "I did have my eye on Shu'er, but I didn't frame her for falling into the water intentionally. I just happened to do it." I met her and saw that she had fallen into the water, so I jumped in to save her. It was an emergency. How could I refuse to save her just to care about her reputation? And you knew that Prince Yong’s Palace did not approve of this marriage, but you used It is extremely despicable for you to force someone to do this."
Li Xiang also knew that he was in the wrong. He was severely scolded by Li Ling, but he did not dare to express his anger.
When Li Ling had finished scolding him, he hesitated and muttered: "I am also eager to marry Pingyang, so I am so unscrupulous. In short, the imperial edict has been issued. No matter how hard it is to change, I will definitely treat Pingyang well in the future." That’s it.”
Li Ling also knew that there was no chance of changing the matter, and no matter how much he punished his brother, there was nothing he could do.
He sighed heavily, stared at Li Xiang and said: "Remember what you said today, you are a man and you must be responsible."
After that, he ordered: "Since you have worked so hard to marry Pingyang, the girl who was sent to Zhuangzi will find a way to sell it. I will take care of this matter, and you are not allowed to interfere." .”
Li Xiang heard this and immediately said anxiously: "But Jiao Xing is innocent. Why would the second brother embarrass a weak woman like this? Jiao Xing has no one but me."
"Shut up." Seeing his younger brother acting like this, Li Ling's anger that had just been suppressed surged up again, and he said firmly: "If you can't let go of Jiao Xing, then you can find a way to get the saint to withdraw the marriage decree. If you really want to marry Pingyang, just send that Jiaoxing away."
