Chapter 79: A bloody plot!
"good!"
Jia Fu was very happy to hear this. Although the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion now has an extraordinary status in the military, its status is not so high elsewhere.
This marriage was naturally part of the agreement, but if Xiao Yan disagreed, there was nothing he could do. The most he could do was look down on Xiao Yan.
But things are different now. If this marriage goes through, the relationship between the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion and the royal family will become even closer. They will help the royal family with all their might, which will also be an improvement for themselves.
"Your Highness, this is the marriage certificate between the royal family and my Guanjun Marquis Mansion. There are two copies in total, one for the royal family's daughter's wedding, and one for the Guanjun Marquis Mansion's daughter's wedding."
"Today, this document of the royal family marrying off their daughter will be destroyed. Once you two sign your names on this document, it cannot be changed."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Sign it!"
In fact, this marriage is a win-win situation for both parties. It will only bring the two families closer.
Therefore, Xiao Yan had no resistance to signing the marriage certificate.
Jia Fu was afraid that Xiao Yan would go back on his word, so he picked up a pen and wrote their names on two marriage certificates, and then gave one to Xiao Yan.
"Your Highness, please keep it. I'll keep this one. Hahahaha, good, good!"
Jia Fu was extremely happy. He didn't expect that the agreement between the royal family and the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion would be fulfilled in his hands. He could finally live up to his ancestors!
"Your Highness, it's time to eat. Let's go to the dining hall. We have to have a few drinks today no matter what."
Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't escape today.
I have never touched alcohol since I was reborn into this world.
"Okay, then I'd better obey your command!"
Hu Mansion.
"Master, good news, good news!"
Hu Zhenghe was lying on the bed at this time. He had been so angry with Guo Youzhi that he spit out blood and then lay in bed unable to get up.
"Why are you so surprised? What's the good news?"
The housekeeper quickly said, "The master has received word from the palace that the prince is ill, and it seems to be some infectious disease. He will not attend court for the time being!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenghe actually did it right away. The housekeeper was also surprised. Is this news so effective?
"What? Is the news true?"
The housekeeper nodded quickly and said, "It is true. This is the message that the Crown Prince's East Palace conveyed to each of you one by one."
But Hu Zhenghe felt something was wrong, because he knew very well how energetic Xiao Yan was before.
Now, you just fall ill .
"That won't do. Go find out right away. Even if we have to use our spies in the palace, we must find out the news."
"If he really falls ill, this is a chance to regain what we lost in the court."
"You've made me feel like I can't breathe before. If I really fall ill this time, don't blame me for being cruel."
Hu Zhenghe has been suppressed to the point of being almost suffocated since Xiao Yan became regent, but for some reasons he cannot confront him head-on.
Now there are some problems with his military power. If this problem is not solved, he really won't be able to take action against Xiao Yan.
"By the way, please ask the commander of the Royal Guard to come over. I will treat him to a meal."
Right now, the only army that can be mobilized in the capital is the Imperial Guard. If this army is in one's own hands, then he will have the final say in the imperial city.
"Yes, Master, I know!"
"My Lord, I really can't drink any more. I'm drunk!"
Xiao Yan had to admire Jia Fu's drinking capacity. It was simply unlimited and he really couldn't keep up.
He repeatedly signaled to Duan Tianya to block the wine for him, but Duan Tianya acted as if he saw nothing and did not drink a single drop.
The excuse is to protect his safety.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain , where is this place, the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion.
Unless the assassin was desperate and came here to assassinate someone, Jia Fu would not even have to do anything, as the guards would have killed him.
"Your Highness, you need to practice your drinking capacity. If you want to convince the soldiers, you need more than just your means. Drinking capacity is also an important factor."
Xiao Yan naturally knew that most people who practiced martial arts liked to drink a little, but a little was a huge amount for him.
"Yes, yes, I really can't drink anymore today. Wait for me to drink slowly, slowly!"
Duan Tianya never thought that Xiao Yan, who had always been so arrogant, would one day admit defeat.
"Hahaha, well, since the prince can't drink anymore, let's stop here and drink some tea to sober up. Lingyao, go make a pot of tea."
Jia Lingyao felt a little distressed when she saw Xiao Yan drinking a little too much, after all, he was her fiancé.
"Yes, father!"
After the tea came, Xiao Yan felt better after drinking some and swore that he would never drink with Jia Fu again.
"Master Duan, do you know how to play chess? How about we play a game of chess?"
Duan Tianya didn't drink any alcohol and his mind was clear, so he naturally understood what Jia Fu meant.
"I know a little bit, but I'm not an expert. Please show some mercy, my Lord!"
I will definitely create an opportunity for Xiao Yan and Jia Lingyao.
Xiao Yan also shook his head helplessly. Although he drank too much, he was not drunk.
"Come with me for a walk and get some fresh air!"
Since I have been given the opportunity, I also need to get to know Jia Lingyao.
"yes! "
The chess-playing duo pretended not to notice what was happening here, and the two bad chess players started playing against each other.
Arriving in the garden, Xiao Yan looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Actually, I'm very curious, why did you agree to such a marriage?"
Xiao Yan did not hesitate and directly expressed his doubts.
"Your Highness, do you think this marriage is inappropriate? Or does Your Highness look down on me?"
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head.
"That's not the case. After all, this is the first time we meet today. How can you rashly decide on such a marriage? I just want to know what you think."
Jia Lingyao sat on the chair in the pavilion with a smile, looking at the lotus flowers in the lake.
"Your Highness may have forgotten that we met when we were young."
Xiao Yan was stunned. How could he remember this incident? There was no such person in the original owner's memory.
"To be honest, I really don't remember."
Jia Lingyao was not angry either, and continued calmly: "It was His Majesty's birthday, and my father brought my daughter back to the capital to congratulate him."
"I accidentally ran into the back garden and fell into the river. Your Highness brought people to rescue me."
"I didn't know your identity at the time, but I understood it later when you sat in the prince's seat at the banquet."
Xiao Yan was suddenly speechless. What a ridiculous plot! It was really too ridiculous!
"Is that why you want to marry me?"
Jia Lingyao shook her head and said, "After I came back, I kept asking my father for information about His Highness. The more I knew, the more I didn't want to get married!"
Xiao Yan understood that it was probably because of his own debauchery and immorality in the past!
