The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Ling Xiao arrived in the front yard and saw his father sitting alone in the study. He entered the room a little strangely and thought to himself: Could it be that his father's relationship with the King Xian broke down?

He smiled and asked: "Why is father here alone?"

"The King Xian said he wanted to sample something for me." Marquis Zhongyuan said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is."

"Have you told him?" Ling Xiao sat next to his father and asked in a low voice.

"I said it." Marquis Zhongyuan said with a smile, "But what do you think the old wise king said?"

Ling Xiao had a bad feeling.

"What did the wise king say?"

"He said that he listens to his granddaughter in everything, but he knows his granddaughter's thoughts better than anyone else," Marquis Zhongyuan said happily: "No matter how many years you stay at the border, his granddaughter will definitely be waiting in the capital. you."

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched and asked, "What did you say?"

"What else can I say?" Marquis Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Where can you find such a good daughter-in-law? Of course I agree."

"Father..." Ling Xiao was anxious, "Didn't we agree before we came here? Why did you..."

"Xiao'er is back." King Xian came in from outside, looked deeply at Ling Xiao, and said to Marquis Zhongyuan with a smile: "Will you stay in the house for dinner at noon today? I still have two jars of aged wine here. Let’s have a few drinks together.”

"I appreciate the prince's kindness, but I have made an appointment with someone else today." Marquis Zhongyuan stood up and bowed his hands to the wise king. "I will treat the prince to a drink some other time."

The old wise king glanced at Ling Xiao, who had a stiff expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait for another day."

After Marquis Zhongyuan and his son left, King Xian's face darkened and he went to the wing in the backyard.

"What's going on?" Old King Xian looked at Li Wenji, whose eyes were red and swollen, "What do you mean you don't agree to break off the engagement? Does Ling Xiao want to break off the engagement?"

Li Wenji sniffed and subconsciously defended Ling Xiao, "He said he was going to the border and didn't want to drag me down."

The anger on the old wise king's face subsided slightly, "I thought he had other thoughts. If that's the case, then he still has some conscience and is worthy of trust."

Li Wenji felt even more aggrieved, tears rolled down her face, and she couldn't help it even if she wanted to.

"Look at you kid, why are you crying?" King Xian sat next to his granddaughter and said distressedly: "Marquis Zhongyuan is a military general, so the Ling family's army must be led by Marquis Zhongyuan himself. If you want to follow him, then you can You have to be able to bear the sin of separation between husband and wife. If you can't bear this sin, then stop thinking about him as soon as possible!"

Li Wenji pursed her lips and said unwillingly: "My granddaughter can bear this."

The old wise king nodded and said with great relief: "Don't worry, I just told Marquis Zhongyuan to arrange your marriage before Ling Xiao goes to the border. This will just suppress the untruths." of gossip.”

Li Wenji burst into tears and laughed, "Did Ling Xiao agree?"

"Marquis Zhongyuan agreed, saying that if he goes back and chooses a good day, he will come to formally propose marriage." The Xian King smiled and said, "Just wait to be your bride."

"Thank you, grandpa." Li Wenji stood up and bowed obediently to the wise king.

The wise king stroked his beard and sighed: "It's really hard to keep a good woman."

"Grandpa..." Li Wenji blushed and stepped forward to shake Xian Wang's arm.The wise king was shaken so much that he kept saying: "Stop shaking now, my old bones are about to fall apart."

On the other side, Ling Xiao, who left Prince Xian's Mansion, was shocked when he learned that Marquis Zhongyuan had promised to finalize his marriage to Li Wenji before he left the capital.

"Father, I don't like Li Wenji!" Ling Xiao said anxiously: "I have already told her that I will not marry her!"

"Did you tell that girl?" Marquis Zhongyuan frowned: "She agreed? King Xian didn't mention it at all. Does King Xian not know about this?"

Ling Xiao thought about what Li Wenji said just now and said with a headache: "When King Hui Xian sees her, he should be able to find out."

But he didn't expect that Li Wenji didn't say anything at all.

The next day, King Xian sent the selected dates to the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Zhongyuan took the letter and showed it to Ling Xiao, "Didn't you say you've finished talking to that girl Wen Ji? Then why did King Xian send this? He's urging us."

"I'll ask her." Ling Xiao turned around and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Marquis Zhongyuan.

"Tell me the truth, what's going on? Are you in love with someone else's girl?"

Ling Xiao stood there with his lips pursed and said nothing.

"Whose girl is this?" Marquis Zhongyuan asked with a frown.

Ling Xiao glanced at his father's face, but still didn't speak.

"Although your marriage to Prince Xian has not been officially announced, who in the capital knows about it? Any girl who knows a little bit about etiquette should not provoke you again." Zhongyuan Hou asked again with a sullen face: "Whose girl is she from?"

Ling Xiao originally wanted to tell the truth to his father that he was asking Yang to propose marriage to the Zuo family, but the Yang family was afraid of the Zuo family and insisted on marrying him the Yang family's niece. He had no choice but to find Li Wenji and ask her to marry him. The Yang family first gave up the idea of ​​getting married to the Yang family.

But now that Marquis Zhongyuan is so unhappy, he has no way to mention Zuo Xiangning again.

"It has nothing to do with other people's girls. I just don't like Li Wenji." Ling Xiao said, "I will not marry a woman I don't like."

"The King Xian said that you were the first to mention it to Girl Wen, so why do you dislike her now?" Marquis Zhongyuan asked in confusion, "Let me tell you, the men in our Ling family are true to their word. There is no one who goes back on his word and always gives up!"

"I was forced by...Mrs. Hou. She insisted that I marry a cousin of the Yang family. I didn't want to marry, so I discussed with Li Wenji and asked her to block it." Ling Xiao said: "I told her clearly at the time, She also agreed."

"Why are you so confused?" Marquis Zhongyuan said angrily: "You don't want to think about such a thing that damages the reputation of a girl. If the girl has no intention of you, will the girl agree? What do you think we should do now? You also Don’t fool me, I guarantee that the girl will not agree to quit, so you just put on a bad face all day long!”

Ling Xiao was told the truth by his father, so he simply told the truth. He stood in front of him and asked pitifully: "Then what do you think we should do now? You must save your son. You can't let your son marry someone you don't like." Women live their whole lives, right?”

"You have to resolve the situation you made yourself." Marquis Zhongyuan pushed his smiling son away, who was taller than him, "Don't be an eyesore to me here."

"Father!" Ling Xiao saw that there was no anger on Marquis Zhongyuan's face, so he simply followed him and pestered him: "Father must save his son this time, otherwise his son will die this time. "

"How old are you? What do you look like when others see you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Marquis Zhongyuan was helpless by him, and he said in a dumbfounded voice: "You are like this, how can I safely let you lead the army?" ?”
