Although he was delayed for a while on the road, because Xiao Yuan's dark horse was a rare good horse and his footsteps were fast, he rushed to the Marquis' Mansion of Wuding before Jiang and others entered the capital.

"Wait for me with peace of mind." Xiao Yuan whispered in the middle of her head before dismounting.

There were guards in front of the Marquis's mansion, and many neighbors watching the fun came from behind. Xie Lanyin didn't have to pretend and wanted to find a crack in the ground, so when her feet touched the ground, she pushed him away and ran in with her face covering her face. To outsiders, the fifth girl of the Xie family ran away crying.

As if he thought the matter was not big enough, Xiao Yuan whispered to her back: "Wait, I'll go and ask my father for the marriage decree!"

After saying that, he looked around and turned over to the horse, and ran away with great enthusiasm.

Two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Xuande unexpectedly raised his head in Chongzheng Hall.

The eunuch Quan, who was beside him, reported again, "Emperor, Your Highness, the King of Qin, asked for a meeting."

This was the first time Emperor Xuande heard that his eldest son took the initiative to ask to see him.

He lowered his head and continued to review the memorial that had just been approved. After writing a few sentences, he put down his pen and said, "Preach it."

Eunuch Quan went outside to hire someone in person.

Emperor Xuande stood up, walked over to the warm couch for him to rest, and sat down, serving tea and savoring it.

"My son bowed to my father." Xiao Yuan looked at him without squinting his eyes and bowed respectfully.

"What are you looking for me?" Emperor Xuande glanced at him and quickly looked away.

This son looks too much like the Yan family. If he had been born more like him, he might not have been so disgusted with him. He looks bad and has a bad temper since he was a child, as if his father owed him, but he doesn't look like his other two sons and knows filial piety.

Xiao Yuan's eyes fell on the man's chest. Although he was here to ask for help, his expression was still cold. He directly explained his purpose, "Father, I went to the West Mountain to enjoy the scenery today. On the way, I accidentally saved the fifth girl from the Xie family of the Marquis of Wuding who was kidnapped by the thief. The fifth girl is beautiful and is the most beautiful person I have ever seen, so I begged my father to marry her to me as a concubine."

While speaking, Eunuch Quan walked in lightly, bent down to Emperor Xuande, and whispered for a while.

What he said was the incident of the King of Qin saving the beauty that had been spread among the people in the capital, and also talked about the engagement between Xie Lanyin and Guo Cheng.

Emperor Xuande's index finger habitually knocked his knees. After the Duke Quan stepped down, he leaned on the pillow and glanced at the eldest son in front of him. "As far as I know, Xie Wu and Guo Huaiqing's grandson have already discussed marriage and will get engaged in November. You should change someone. There are so many beautiful girls, so you have to choose the one who has no master."

Huaiqing is the name of Guo Cheng’s grandfather, Lord Guo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Emperor Xuande for a moment. He hesitated first, then frowned and said, "Father, they have not been engaged. Even if the marriage has not been completed, and I rode into Beijing with the fifth girl, passers-by saw it. Who would I marry if the fifth girl doesn't marry? I'm afraid the Guo family may not be willing to marry her now."

He insisted on his own opinion, but Emperor Xuande's doubts disappeared instead.

The eldest son didn't know the marriage and wanted to marry the Xie family girl who had a grandfather and father who was in a key position. This shows that the eldest son was determined to form a clique for personal gain and relied on his in-laws to win over the court officials. But now the eldest son knew about it and asked for marriage ignorantly, regardless of Xie. The Guo family's face suddenly offended the two families. Especially the Guo family's power is greater than the Xie family, which proves that the eldest son is indeed lustful, obsessed with the beauty and only greedy for beauty.

With Emperor Xuande's understanding of the two men of the Xie family, he would never obediently surrender to Qin just because his daughter wanted to enter Qin. The spoiled daughter was forced to be a concubine of the unpopular prince. She was depressed every day, and the Xie family would only hate the Qin King to intercept the Hu.

The eldest son is in trouble, why don’t he help him? In the future, he will have to find a way to stumbling up with a noble girl from a family.

"Your words are somewhat reasonable." Emperor Xuande sat down again. Just when Xiao Yuan finally showed a happier look, he said: "But the two families have a engagement after all. If you want to marry Xie Wu as a concubine, you have to see the attitude of their two families. If the Guo family is willing to withdraw, I will make the decision for you. The person who comes will tell Xie Ding Xie Hui and his son, as well as Guo Huaiqing and Guo De."

As expected, these two families are of equal status, and both of them are in court and officials.

The little eunuch went to pass the imperial edict, and soon the two fathers and sons walked in one after another, and ignored Xiao Yuan when they saw him. After the four of them saluted, Emperor Xuande signaled to Mr. Quan to explain, and he looked at them casually.

The feminine voice of Eunuch Quan rang in the room, "...His Royal Highness of the King of Qin saved the beauty. Now this matter has caused a lot of controversy in the capital. Now your Highness wants to marry the fifth girl as his concubine. The emperor wants to ask you all the meaning first before deciding."

Xie Ding didn't know the relationship between his granddaughter and the King of Qin, so he really regarded it as a hero to save the beauty. His eyes swept over the King of Qin and frowned and looked at his son.

The granddaughter's marriage is a major event, and his grandfather, who has been disliked by his eldest son and his family, cannot be regarded as the master, so it is naturally not suitable to speak first.

But why did Xie Hui guess that everything today was arranged by the King of Qin?

In order to get his daughter, he even ignored her reputation!

With his fists clenched in his sleeves, Xie Hui did not look at Xiao Yuan, and looked at the father and son of the Xie family opposite him with a calm face, with a cold voice, "Your Highness Qin's favor is the little girl's honor, but the little girl has been spoiled since childhood and will never be a concubine with others. Now the little girl and Your Highness ride into the capital together, and her reputation is somewhat detrimental. I wonder if Lord Guo minds. If you don't want to marry your little girl again, Xie will support her for the rest of her life."

"Mr. Xie..." Xiao Yuan suddenly changed color and walked towards Xie Hui. He took only two steps. He was scolded by Emperor Xuande and had to stop, his face as cold as iron.

It would be strange if he was disliked in front of so many people.

The eldest son was defeated, Emperor Xuande was happy, but he asked the Guo father and son in a stern manner, "What do you say?"

Mr. Guo, the Minister of Revenue, was slightly fat, his face was rounder, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. At this moment, he smiled at Xie Hui, "Mingtang is too serious. Lan Yin and Your Highness ride together is forced by the situation. How can there be a saying that his reputation is damaged? My Guo family is not that unreasonable person. It is rare that Acheng is studying hard because of this marriage. I can't bear to give up such a good granddaughter-in-law. Don't think too much, continue to prepare your dowry."
