Meng Huaxuan's face was cold and unafraid of Prince Ding's reaction. Song Xiangsi was already engaged, and no one could make him give up on this idea.

However, the person in front of him was his father after all. It was better for him to be clear about some things.

Therefore, he told King Ning, "Father, I have a deep affection for Song Xiangsi. As for marrying another woman as my legal wife, that's fine. I can't accept this, so I hope Father can take back his orders!"

He stood in front of Meng Ling Xuan, angrily questioning him, "I've already said that I want to choose a woman with a higher status to be your wife. That woman is not fit to be your concubine, even if she is, she will still be your concubine. With your status, you need to be on the right side of the family.

He had already come to a conclusion in his heart. Since he had already chosen Song Xiangsi, he would never be able to tolerate another woman in his life, let alone having Song Xiangsi as his concubine. He could not tolerate this.

Meng Fanxuan was silent for a moment. He looked calmly at Lord Ding and then at the golden-faced consort beside him. Perhaps it was because his eyes were too sharp that Lord Ding felt that something was amiss.

He looked at the golden-faced consort and ordered, "You may leave."

When she saw this, she felt quite dissatisfied, but she still withdrew herself after seeing the stern expression on King Dingdang's face.

Damn it!

This Meng Huaxuan was always against her. One day, she would make this mother and son beg for death!

Seeing that Madame Jin had left, Meng Liangxuan said, "Father, have you thought about it carefully?" Right now, we have a lot of power, so you have a high position in the court. Do you think His Majesty will let us continue to expand our power? Currently, my mufei's status is already extremely high. In addition, with your identity as King Ding, if I were to marry a woman from an aristocratic family, wouldn't that mean that I would be able to become an alliance with an influential family, making people even more fearful of me? And when that happens, what will happen to my King's Manor? "

At this point, Prince Ding's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "That's right, how could I forget about this? If my King's Manor could find another woman to be the wife of my son, it would definitely cause a huge commotion."

Now that we have started to keep a low profile due to the power struggle in the imperial court, if we were to find another woman with a high family background, it would definitely arouse the Emperor's disgust and even suspicion. What should we do?

Because of Meng Ling Xuan's reminder, he was able to come up with this idea.

As an official of the imperial court, it was taboo to collude with other parties. As such, he had to keep a low profile in order to avoid attracting the emperor's displeasure.

"Doesn't that mean we must keep a low profile when it comes to Xuan'er's marriage, and even more so, we must not marry a girl with a high position in the family!"

His father fell silent, clearly pondering his words. After all, there was a saying on the side of the Emperor that had to be taken into account, 'Accompanying the Emperor like a tiger'. After all these years, King Ding must have understood this logic.

Also, he could not play tricks on matters of marriage.

Furthermore, he had a deep affection for Song Xiangsi. No matter what, he would choose to reject such a matter. He only needed to use a method, or a euphemistic way, to get her father to agree with his thoughts.

As for taking in a concubine, he had not thought about it for the time being, nor would he even think about it in the future. He had never thought about it, because there was only one person in his heart, and that was Song Xiangsi.

At this moment, waves also appeared in King Yuan's heart. It was like a surging ocean, the ebb and flow of the tide, and at the same time, a burst of cold sweat began to appear on his back.

He had intended to do the same when she persuaded him to choose a woman with a high status for Meng Lianxuan. After all, Prince Dingzhou's estate was a very rich and powerful family, even in the imperial court. If he were to say that his son had married a woman who did not belong to the right family, then he would be laughed off.

But when he thought back, perhaps marrying an ordinary woman would be more beneficial to his future.

However, it was precisely because he finished his position and was of high authority that everyone could see his peak. It was also because of this that he could not act high profile.

Under the Emperor's feet, no one dared to disobey. If the Emperor became suspicious and became fearful of them, he would definitely suppress the King's Manor. He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen when that happened.

Therefore, at this time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, his heart had already begun to calmly ponder.

Seeing that Meng Ling Xuan was looking at him, he hurriedly wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and at the same time asked Meng Yuan Xuan, "Xuan'er, what you said is correct. If we were to marry a woman of noble status and become your wife, in addition to your mother's decision to become the imperial concubine, as well as the power and influence of our prince's estate, then the Emperor would definitely hold us in high regard. He would even treat us like a tiger and would very likely act against us. "As expected of my son!"

Meng Huaxuan nodded. He smiled and said to King Ding, "Father, your son's current status as a woman should not be high, but if high, it will definitely attract the attention of His Majesty!"

He stroked his beard as he carefully analyzed Meng Huaxuan's words.

Therefore, if the King's Manor did not act in a low-key manner and instead entered into a marriage alliance with another powerful family, this would inevitably arouse the emperor's disgust. The consequences would be unimaginable.

At the same time, he sighed and said, "Xuan'er, you've thought it through very carefully. It's only because Father has not thought it through properly, and I've also listened to others' advice that I'm acting like this. Why don't you bring back that Song Xiangsi and we'll arrange a wedding for you all and properly marry her? What do you think!"

After saying this, King Ding looked at Meng Ling Xuan's expression and saw a smile on his face. In his heart, he also felt that this was for the best.

Therefore, he continued to speak to Meng Ling Xuan, "Xuan, I'm now ordering you to marry Song Xiangsi as your wife. At that time, even if others tell us, we'll let them tell us. We don't care about that, as long as we marry Song Xiangsi and suit your wishes, then Father's heart will be much more comfortable!"

Hearing King Ding's words, Meng Ling Xuan was naturally overjoyed. However, he suddenly remembered something. How was he supposed to reply to his mother?

His mufei had been opposed to this matter, so at this moment, Meng Liangxuan was clearly hesitating.

He definitely had to marry Song Xiangyu, but what did his mufei say when he decided to make it up to her like this?

Meng Ling Xuan knew that his mother definitely wouldn't agree, but how to get her to agree was a problem. So he was indeed a bit conflicted right now.
