This... This... This was too outrageous!
Did something strange happen inside?
Everyone was astonished. After all, Beitang Cheng was an old and steady man. He had to accept the decree as soon as possible! After that, he had a servant seal a red packet for Eunuch Liu and a bunch of guards, then he served them refreshments and tea before making the decision!
When Eunuch Liu and his entourage left, the Beitang Estate was in an uproar!
"Married the fourth prince?"
"Wrong, wrong!"
"Why did it become the Fourth Prince? It's obviously the First Prince! "
"The First Prince and Beitang Ling are the only two! Beitang Ling has never even seen the Fourth Prince! "
Everyone was discussing the matter as they cast their gazes at the astonished Beitang Ling.
"I don't want to marry the Fourth Prince!" The person I like is the First Prince! Does anyone know what's going on? Can someone tell me why? "
Beitang Ling said excitedly.
Everyone looked at each other. They all shook their heads.
Bing Ying thought so. How could she make a mistake when it was such a big thing? Wasn't Fourth Prince Xiu the scoundrel who broke the engagement back then?
Of course, Bing Ying did not know that the 4th Prince's name was Nangong Xiu.
She never would have thought that Third Sister's arranged marriage was all because she stole Nangong Xiu's Wordless Book from the run-down temple …
However …
If Nangong Xiu knew that he was begging his father to grant him a marriage, then marrying the third young mistress of the Beitang Imperial Clan would also be a dragon … He would probably vomit blood on the spot!
He made an ambitious vow!
He also wanted a book! He wants it, too!
In the end, the wangfei he married turned out to be another person …
If she married the First Prince, she would become the Crown Prince's consort. In the future, she would be the Empress, the mother of a nation, and the wind would sweep across the world! If she married the fourth prince, she would only be a small wangfei in the future! The difference was too great!
"What the hell is Fourth Prince doing?" She had only withdrawn his engagement with Fourth Miss last month! Why did you ask for Third Miss' hand in marriage again? "
"Could it be that it's because of Third Miss that he has to cancel the engagement with Fourth Miss?"
"No wonder Third Miss almost killed Fourth Miss a few days ago!"
"So the two of them are just jealous!"
"No wonder! Are you stupid! Didn't you realize that the third miss doesn't want to marry to the fourth prince at all? "
Everyone in the mansion was talking about it! The spearhead was pointed straight at Beitang Ling and Bing Ying!
Of course, Bing Ying was just a sacrifice for this inexplicable political marriage!
She herself was innocent, because she had no idea what was going on.
She did not care about these things and was too lazy to do anything about it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
The main figures of the Beitang Clan would immediately hold a secret meeting!
The participants were Beitang Mo, Beitang Cheng, Beitang Fu, Beitang Menglong and Beitang Ling!
Old Master Beitang was in closed door training while Eldest Young Master Beitang Mengze was out on a campaign outside. These people were the core members of the Beitang Clan.
Beitang Ling said, "Dad! I definitely won't marry the fourth prince! I will enter the palace tomorrow to find that bastard Nangong Lie for a theory! "
Beitang Mo said, "You are being more reckless! How can the matters of the royal family be left to you? Perhaps this was what the First Prince meant! Perhaps, this was the Emperor's intention! Perhaps, it could also be the fourth prince's idea! Before we clearly understand who this decree belongs to, we can only hold our weapons and not move! "
Beitang Cheng nodded: "Big brother! Your analysis is correct! Ling'er, you and the First Prince are both hot-blooded people, do not act recklessly! At this point, we should handle this calmly! "
Beitang Menglong said, "There is another possibility! It is our political enemies who find out about the matters between Third Sister and the First Prince, then go to the Emperor to stir up trouble and encourage the Emperor to order the marriage of Fourth Prince! Let Third Sister not be the Crown Prince's Consort! This way, he would be able to attack our Beitang Family! In the eyes of outsiders, our Beitang Clan has always been a part of the crown prince's faction! If Third Sister marries the Fourth Prince, then we will be the ones who get our hands on her and not please her on either side! "
Beitang Ling said, "I don't care about that! In short, I will not marry the Fourth Prince! I must be the princess consort! "
Beitang Cheng thought for a while, then said, "Ling'er! You will enter the palace tomorrow to scout out the First Prince! See what he means! His attitude would be the most important thing! But don't quarrel with him! "
Beitang Mo said, "What's the use of his position? The royal decree had already been passed down. Even if Ye Xiao had made a mistake, he could only accept it! To disobey the decree is a capital offense! "
Beitang Menglong nodded, "Father is right! "I'm afraid Third Sister is betrothed to the Fourth Prince!"
The proud Beitang Ling's eyes were red, on the verge of tears.
"I won't marry! I will not marry that useless prince Nangong Xiu even if I die! "
With her making a scene, the others fell silent as well.
Although she was a little arrogant, her words made sense.
Everyone in the world knew that the First Prince, Nangong Lie, was born valiant and domineering. He had the direct bloodline of the royal family and was the best candidate for being the crown prince.
In addition, Nangong Lie was born with a straightforward and unrestrained character, he had a broad range of connections and was favored by the old emperor. Everyone believed that in the future, the throne of the emperor would definitely belong to him!
Other than Nangong Lie …
Although the Second Prince, Nangong Yan, was born from Xiao Fei, he had always been calm and collected since young. He was smart and good at learning, extremely scheming. Last year, when he had been patrolling the area, he had found a huge case of official corruption, which had won him a very high reputation among the civilian population and the civil and military officials.
Even if something happened to the First Prince, he wouldn't be the Emperor.
In the future, the successor to the throne would be the Second Prince, Nangong Yan.
As for the Fourth Prince, Nangong Xiu …
Although he was also very smart, under the influence of his two brothers, his prestige was far from being able to match it. Moreover, he was the second son of Xiao Fei. In terms of bloodline, talent, and achievements … Not even the throne.
Since things had turned out like this, how could Beitang Ling not go crazy?
Beitang Menglong saw his sister's rage and immediately calmed her down, "Third sister. You must be calm at this time. Even if you go after him. So what? The First Prince probably would not dare to disobey the imperial edict, right? He had just been made king, and his position was shaky. At this time, if he disobeyed the imperial edict for a woman, then his brother would turn against him. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to save the king any time soon! If you marry him, you won't be able to become a queen either. "
Hearing this, Beitang Ling actually calmed down a bit.
"Second Brother! You're the smartest person in the family! Help me think of a way! How could she not marry the fourth prince! I haven't even seen him. How can I marry him? Moreover, he has three older brothers in front of him, so no matter what, the throne won't go to him. Even if I become the Crown Prince's consort, the Beitang Clan will benefit greatly from it! Second Brother, quickly help me think of a way! "
Beitang Menglong thought for a moment and said: "The way! It wasn't that there were none! "Since you haven't seen him before, then find someone to replace you …"
"Substitute? Good! Good! Who should I send? " Beitang Ling said excitedly.
Beitang Menglong said: "But, this is only a strategy to delay the war! "Third sister, your reputation has shocked the world. You often go to the capital and the residences of famous people. There are many people who have seen you, so it wouldn't be possible to fool you for long if you pretend to be their successor!"
Beitang Ling said, "It won't be long! As long as I have enough time, I can convince Nangong Lie to ask the Emperor for another imperial edict! That's right! That's right! I have already decided on the candidate! It's Fourth Sister! "
The person she hated the most was Bing Ying. If she didn't push her into the fire pit now, who would she push?!
Beitang Fu's eyes almost fell out, "What? Fourth Sister? Ying'er? No way! One month ago, Ying'er had just been annulled by the fourth prince! How can you let her impersonate you? Isn't that sending a sheep into a tiger's den? "
Beitang Ling said, "Third Uncle! She had an engagement with the Fourth Prince to begin with, so it was perfectly justified for her to marry him! Besides, the Fourth Prince had never seen her, so he didn't know who she was. Then we can say that she is the real Third Miss! "
Beitang Menglong suddenly said loudly: "This is an excellent idea! The imperial edict did not mention a name! He only said that he would give the Third Miss to the Fourth Prince! If he let Fourth Sister take his place! What if it was exposed! We can also say that Fourth Sister is the real third sister! She was born earlier than Third Sister! Anyway, only people from our family know your true age! "Even if others were to know that this is an excuse, they would still say that we have no evidence!"
"Good!" "Great!"
Beitang Ling didn't need to marry the Fourth Prince, so she quickly applauded!
"What?" Betrothal? "Substitute?"
Bing Ying was surprised. She gave him a cold smile.
In order to protect a talented and outstanding Beitang Bell, the Beitang Clan did not hesitate to sacrifice her, a good-for-nothing and a good-for-nothing?
Sacrificing a poor talent for the sake of a good one?
It turned out that the big families were full of hypocrisy!
What was even more laughable was that the person who came to tell her this news was her father!
Want her to be a political sacrifice?
Dream on!
She wasn't a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch!
She was in charge of her marriage! No one had the right to interfere!
What?
She was still a wangfei after all?
Bing Yingying raised her eyebrows in anger!
Not to mention marrying the fourth prince, she didn't even care about marrying an emperor!
Beitang Fu said helplessly, "Xiu'er, don't be angry! At home, only Ying'er and Ling'er are around the same age, so they can deceive people. "
Bing Ying said calmly, "Xiu'er!" Don't worry. I won't marry him! I don't want to! No one can force me! "
She had an air of superiority!
Beitang Fu looked at her …
He suddenly felt that his daughter was too unfamiliar!
Xiu'er said: "Fourth Sister! He's the bastard who suddenly asked to break off the engagement, causing you to commit suicide! You must not marry him! He will only hurt you! I won't give you happiness! Father! If you ask me to marry that bad guy again! I won't recognize you as my father from now on! "
He had a fierce look on his face as he looked at his father. His stance was very firm!
Beitang Fu saw that both of them were very firm with their stance, so he didn't say anything and just shook his head as he left.
Once Beitang Fu left, Xiu'er threw himself into his arms and started crying.
"Wuu … wuu …" "Sis, you better not marry that bad guy!"
At night.
Bing Ying had a dream!
A very strange, somewhat ethereal dream.
In her dream, she had arrived at a realm of endless white clouds …
A girl in white appeared.
This strange girl, she called herself Beitang Bingying!
The girl in white said, "Who are you? Why are you inside my body? "
Bing Ying said, "My name is Liang Jing!"
The girl in white asked, "Why are you in my body?"
Bing Ying said, "I don't know! Should be... Transmigration! I come from another world of time and space, and my soul seems to be born into your body! It was strange! My soul is in your body, but why would Zichen Yuyi travel with my soul? So there are some things I can't explain. Are you the real Beitang Bingying? "You're not dead?"
The girl in white said, "I don't know either. I seem to have been wandering in a dark place all along … "
Bing Ying said, "Maybe your soul is already dead. However, there is still a trace of consciousness in his body that has yet to be extinguished. "
