158: Forcing Marriage by Threatening Death
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
The vermilion-embroidered Biyang Palace was very lively, especially the men's Feihua Order. There was constant applause, and occasionally people's cheers could be heard.
Shang Junyan was sitting on the bluestone beside the rockery. Sitting next to him was Shu Xuebo, who had just arrived. Today, Shu Xuebo was dressed like a peacock. His smug look looked like he deserved a beating. .
"Prince Shang, there are so many girls here for the banquet today. They all come from extraordinary families and are young and beautiful. I wonder if you have any one you like?" Shu Xuebo asked with a smile.
Shang Junyan hated unmotivated dudes the most, so he didn't like Shu Xuebo very much. Hearing him talk to him, he felt impatient, but he threw up his sleeves and left because of bad etiquette, and Shu Xuebo was Yan Qiong. Si's cousin, and deliberately asked him such things, and the little thoughts in his heart were almost hidden.
"Master Shu, why do you ask questions knowingly? Mr. Shang never likes people who attend banquets, but he took the time to come today. Naturally, it is because of the master's reputation. Don't you think so?" Someone heard the conversation between the two and immediately intervened. He said it loudly, and then burst out laughing.
Anyone who is attentive can spot Princess Runyi's thoughts about Shang Junyan, and Shang Junyan has never liked banquets, but today she came. It's not just the concubine who is interested, it seems that the man is also in love.
"How do I know this? You have to ask Prince Shang." Shu Xuebo replied with a smile, his eyebrows raised high, and there was obviously a bit of pride in his eyebrows.
When Shu Xuebo said this, everyone immediately started cheering.
Shang Junyan looked a little unhappy. He looked at everyone and said, "I have no relationship with Princess Runyi. I went to the banquet today just to follow my mother's order."
But everyone didn't believe it, especially Shu Xuebo who was deliberately guiding everyone from the side. For a while, even the people playing Feihua Ling frequently looked over.
Shang Junyan looked at Shu Xuebo and said, "Master Shu, you are Princess Runyi's cousin. Logically speaking, you should protect your cousin's reputation. You are so disregarding Princess Runyi's reputation. But I have asked the princess if she agrees? As for me, I have told my mother that I have been focusing on work these past few years and have no plans to get married, so Mr. Shu should only joke appropriately. "
After Shang Junyan finished speaking, he left and walked to the other side.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that a few jokes would make Shang Junyan so angry. Is there really no relationship between Prince Shang and Princess Runyi?
What are you kidding me about with that bunch of academic scholars?
Is this a joke?
Everyone was a little embarrassed. They didn't dare to offend Shang Junyan, so couldn't they give Shu Xuebo a run for their money?
Shu Xuebo:......
I never thought that Shang Junyan would dare to ruin the reputation of the Guangping County Prince's Palace in this way, causing him to be completely embarrassed at this moment. He will definitely complain to his aunt later!
Bamboo curtains are rolled up under the corridor in the distance, and rows of wind chimes are hung under the bamboo curtains. They move with the wind, and from time to time, crisp and sweet sounds are heard.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Princess Runyi standing inside the bamboo curtain. Everyone looked at each other. When they looked back, they found that Princess Runyi had disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. Princess Runyi had a noble status and outstanding family background. The queen was still her aunt. What man would not be tempted by such a woman, not to mention that Princess Runyi was as beautiful as a flower.
They were really envious, but it was a pity that Princess Runyi was not interested in them.
Shang Junyan left, and Princess Runyi also disappeared. Everyone lost interest in talking and laughing, and continued to play Feihua Ling.
Everyone who was picking lotus pods was also having a great time, but it was not easy to find young lotus seeds during this season. After all, the season had passed, and most of the people picked them were already ripe. Even so, they were very happy.
Su Xinyi rowed a famous boat to accompany Su Jingmo and Su Chaoyan to play. This small boat
There were only their own sisters on the boat. Su Xixian sat next to Su Xinyi, holding her chin and said: "Sixth sister, I told my father that I don't want to marry back to the Weng family."
Su Xinyi was stunned. He didn't expect Su Xixian to mention this matter at this stall, "What did the third uncle say?"
"Dad said he knew, and then he disappeared." Su Xixian was very melancholy, "Do you think my father agreed or didn't agree?"
Su Xinyi thought for a while and said: "I guess Third Uncle hasn't discussed this matter with your aunt yet, and I won't answer you for a while. But if you really want to, Third Uncle's temperament will definitely not let you marry her. Our family is not in ruins, so we need you to marry and help your mother's family. "
Su Xixian felt it made sense. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I'm just worried about my aunt. My father rarely rejects my aunt's words. I'm afraid that if my aunt cries, my father will become soft-hearted."
It's hard for Su Xinyi to talk about this kind of thing. She looked at Su Xixian and said: "Then Fifth Sister, it's better for Third Uncle to see your thoughts clearly. Besides, it's unknown what kind of character your cousin is. If Aunt Weng is If you insist on going your own way, please ask Third Uncle to let the Weng family come and let Third Uncle see if he is a marryable person."
Su Xixian nodded, "This is a way. If there is really no way out, you can give it a try."
Su Xinyi knew that the cousin of the Weng family was a caring person, and he had a very favored wife beside him. The details were not clear. In his previous life, he heard his mother mention it once, and knew that Su Xixian was not living well because of Weng. My cousin had a concubine who did not take her as his wife seriously, but the Weng family favored the Weng family. Su Xixian really couldn't live with her, so the third lady took her back.
Thinking of this, Su Xinyi actually hated Aunt Weng. Since her rebirth, she had not met Aunt Weng. An aunt was not qualified to pay respects to the lady. Aunt Weng rarely went out on weekdays, and she had never met her in the mansion.
"Fifth sister, don't worry. Fourth sister's marriage has not been settled yet." Su Xinyi comforted.
Su Xixian smiled bitterly, "You don't know my aunt. She is particularly stubborn about this. It seems that only if I marry back to the Weng family, her position in the mansion will be as stable as a mountain."
Su Xinyi couldn't say anything, so she could only sigh with her.
"What are you two talking about?" Su Jingmo turned around and looked at them from the other side of the boat and asked.
Su Xinyi said, "It's getting late. We should go back to the shore. Some people are already going back."
Su Jingmo looked and saw that everyone was starting to go back. She immediately said, "We've had enough fun. Let's go back too." Then she told the boat girl to row the boat back.
Su Jingmo brought Su Chaoyan over to sit down and said happily: "It's quite fun. Let's get a pond of lotus flowers on our farm tomorrow and pick them when the lotus pods are ripe."
When she said this, she saw Jiang Ruolan greeting them from a distance and pointed to the shore. Su Xinyi and others nodded.
When they were getting off the boat, a boat next to them suddenly rushed over and hit Su Xinyi's boat. Su Jingmo was about to go ashore and almost fell into the water. Su Xinyi grabbed him.
Su Jingmo was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked back and said angrily: "What's going on? Where is the boatman?"
The small boat that hit the boat carried a few unfamiliar girls. At this time, the leader in light purple clothes apologized to Su Jingmo: "Miss Su Si, please forgive us. We didn't mean to do it. It was the boat behind us that hit us."
When they heard this, they looked back. It turned out that everyone wanted to go back to the shore. They all came to the ferry at the same time, which was not easy to bump into each other.
Su Jingmo saw that the other party really didn't mean it, so he said, "It's okay, be careful when you get off the boat."
The other party hurriedly thanked him, and Su Xinyi was the last one to get ashore. Looking back at the cautious look of the group of little girls, she reached out her hand to help them ashore.
The one who was helped was the purple-clothed girl who was talking. She felt that the hand of Miss Su Liu holding her arm was full of strength. Her shaky body was immediately stabilized by her help. She hurriedly thanked her when she got ashore.
Su Xinyi smiled and shook her head, and helped the others up, and then said, "Okay, let's go."
Su Xinyi raised her feet to chase Su Jingmo and the others, and the people behind her chattered and said something different.
"The Princess of Yong'an is indeed a master of fighting, she is really strong."
"Can she speak? This is called a woman who is as good as a man. The Princess of Yong'an is really beautiful and kind."
"I always heard people say that the Princess of Yong'an has a bad temper and loves to beat people. Today I see that it is nonsense. The Princess of Yong'an is really too good. Hey, the Princess of Yong'an is a young man, I must find a way to marry her."
Su Xinyi: ...
I haven't walked far yet, can't you speak more reservedly?
Jiang Ruolan and others were laughing like crazy, and Su Jingmo was laughing so hard that he covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
What else can Su Xinyi do? Just laugh, what's the big deal if you lose a piece of meat?
After this incident, everyone knew that Su Xinyi was a good-natured and helpful person. When they returned to the pavilion, people were sitting around her in an instant.
Su Xixian couldn't help laughing. It was incredible. Their Xiaoliu wanted to be popular with both men and women.
As the lunchtime was approaching, someone said, "Why don't we see the princess?"
When this was said, everyone felt a little strange. Princess Runyi had said before that she was waiting for them to pick lotus pods. Now that the lotus pods were picked, where was the princess?
"There are many guests today. Maybe the princess is busy somewhere else?"
I don't know who said this, but everyone responded.
Su Xinyi didn't take it to heart. Yan Qiongsi's temperament has always been unpredictable. Who knows where she went? It has nothing to do with her.
Su Xinyi was surrounded by people asking questions, so she simply played some simple magic tricks she had learned to amuse everyone. For a while, exclamations came one after another in the pavilion.
Magic tricks are just a trick that depends on quick hands. Su Xinyi was born in martial arts, so her speed is naturally much faster than that of ordinary people. It is not difficult for her to perform a magic trick.
Everyone cheered, and a group of delicate girls instantly led the people over there.
Prince Rong was just thinking that it was boring, and he couldn't play Feihualing all the time, because it was a brain-consuming and embarrassing game. He stopped playing after a few rounds. At this time, he heard that Su Xinyi was performing magic tricks, so he came over.
When he came over, he saw Su Xinyi unfold the handkerchief in her hand to show everyone that it was just an ordinary handkerchief, and then he saw her roll the handkerchief into a ball and put it in her palm and turn it around. When she took it out again, it turned into a flower.
Prince Rong watched Su Xinyi give the flower to a woman in red next to her, and then the woman blushed with joy and thanked Su Xinyi in a delicate voice.
Prince Rong: ...
When everyone was having fun, they suddenly heard a scream. Everyone in the garden was startled and didn't know what happened.
Su Xinyi's heart jumped and she shuddered for no reason. She looked up in the direction of the scream and vaguely saw a figure who seemed to be climbing up to the highest attic in the garden.
Prince Rong obviously also noticed it and immediately ran over there. The Bi Yang Palace is a villa of the royal family and nothing bad can be allowed to happen there.
When Su Xinyi saw it, he immediately said to everyone: "There seems to be something unexpected. I'll go take a look. Everyone, give way."
As soon as Su Xinyi finished speaking, everyone immediately made way for her. Everyone watched as Su Xinyi flew out lightly on the gooseneck chair, landed on the ground and ran forward.
"Bravo."
"Is this flying?"
"Of course the Lord of Yong'an County is powerful, otherwise he wouldn't dare to go to the border town to fight the Tatars."
Su Jingmo and the others didn't have the time to listen to what everyone was saying. When they saw Xiao Liu running away, they jumped up and chased after him.
Don't cause any trouble.
As soon as they saw it, everyone followed them, and the men and women mingled together. For a while, no one paid attention to this. They just stared at the figure climbing up in front. I don't know who shouted, "That's not Runyi County." Lord?"
It was indeed Yan Qiongsi who climbed up to the attic. When Su Xinyi arrived, she saw the maid calling her constantly, but she seemed not to hear her and was focused on walking up to the top.
The Princess of Guangping County who came over after hearing the news turned pale as a sheet. She grabbed her son and nephew and said, "Quickly think of a way to save your sister. What's wrong with this child? Why are you climbing so high?"
While she was talking, Yan Qiongsi had already reached the top. She ignored everyone and climbed up the fence to sit on her own. Her legs were still swinging back and forth. She was so frightened that Princess Guangping's legs weakened and she almost fell down on the spot.
Prince Rong happened to be at the side, reaching out to support the princess of Guangping County, "Auntie, be careful."
The princess of Guangping County grabbed Prince Rong and said, "Your Highness, you have to save Jones. I am just a daughter, so nothing can happen to me."
As he spoke, he ignored King Rong and shouted to his daughter, "Jones, come down quickly. What are you doing up there? Mom has something to tell you, so come down."
Yan Qiongsi didn't seem to hear her mother's words. Her eyes searched and searched in the crowd, and finally found Shang Junyan standing at the back of the crowd. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother Shang, look, in order to prove that my love for you is true, I can jump from here. Do you believe it?"
When Su Xinyi heard this, he followed Yan Qiongsi's line of sight and looked back, and saw Shang Junyan standing behind the crowd. His expression was really wonderful at this time.
Shang Junyan's expression was not only wonderful, it was simply colorful. He was so angry that he wished he could not turn back time.
"Princess Runyi, what are you doing?" Shang Junyan said while suppressing his anger.
Seeing him approaching, everyone immediately made way for him, allowing him to walk to the front without any obstruction.
Now everyone understands that Princess Runyi is causing this to force a marriage?
This is really exciting.
"Princess Runyi, it makes no sense for you to do this. If something happens to you, the most sad thing will be your parents and your family. To me, Princess Runyi is just an insignificant person." Shang Jun Yan Leng Said with a face.
The princess of Guangping County couldn't stand it anymore. She turned to look at Shang Junyan and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you really not know what Qiong Si thinks of you? Shang Junyan, human life is at stake. , can’t you just say something nice and coax her down first? Just treat it like I’m begging you to do it?”
Shang Junyan looked at the Princess of Guangping County and said, "Princess Princess, how can you make a promise so easily, and how can you force me to make a promise with death? If I make a promise, when Princess Runyi comes down, she will definitely force me to make a promise with death again. "
The surroundings were completely silent for a moment. Probably no one expected Shang Junyan to say such words so calmly. Although it made sense, it inevitably gave people a feeling of being too ruthless.
Su Xinyi glanced at Shang Junyan with a complicated expression. Although she didn't care whether there was any relationship between Shang Junyan and Yan Qiongsi, but now seeing him doing this, she had to say that she felt really comfortable in her heart.
What she couldn't let go of in her previous life was that since Shang Junyan liked Yan Qiongsi, he shouldn't harm her.
It turns out he doesn't like her.
Although it has nothing to do with her whether he likes her or not, Su Xinyi looks at Shang Junyan now but doesn't want to really let him take his life.
She quietly withdrew from the crowd, turned around and ran towards the attic. Unexpectedly, she saw King Rong when she was approaching the attic.
When King Rong saw Su Xinyi, he was also stunned. He was unable to stop his attack and almost collided with each other.
Su Xinyi was much more flexible than King Rong. She avoided King Rong in a flash and then looked up at the figure on the attic.
At this time, Yan Qiongsi was obviously hurt by Shang Junyan's words, and she heard her shouting loudly: "How can you be so heartless? You were so good to me when you were young, and you gave me everything. Thinking about me."
Yan Qiongsi stood up as he spoke. Everyone was so frightened that they kept screaming. He stepped on the narrow fence with his feet and stretched out his hands to hold on to the railing beside him. If he fell down accidentally, he would become a puddle of flesh. .
The princess of Guangping County rolled her eyes and almost fainted. Yan Congjia hurriedly supported her, raised his head and shouted to his sister: "Qiongsi, come down first, and talk to her if you have anything to say. Don't worry, you like Shang Junyan, even if you are my brother." Even if he is tied up, he must marry you, okay? "Come down quickly."
"Brother, you lied to me. Shang Junyan won't listen to you, and you can't tie him up. I knew that ever since Su Xinyi arrived in the capital, he had been in another relationship, and it was all Su Xinyi. If it weren't for her, Shang How could big brother change his mind?"
Shang Junyan's face turned dark, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Princess Runyi, don't slander others. I won't marry you because I don't like you, and I have no plans to get married for the time being. Besides, Princess Yong'an Why are you marrying me? There is nothing wrong between us. Don’t ruin anyone else’s reputation.”
"Shang Junyan, I don't believe it, unless you swear that you will never marry Su Xinyi in this life!" Yan Qiongsi yelled like crazy, and her body shook as she yelled.
The Princess of Guangping County yelled, "My son." After yelling, she looked at Shang Junyan, "Junyan, just treat it as my request, can you let Qiongsi feel at ease? Tell me."
Shang Junyan's face was livid. Although he had no plans to get married in this life, he was forced to make such a vow. How could Su Xinyi gain a foothold in the capital in the future? Wouldn't she become a laughing stock of others?
What did Su Xinyi do wrong?
Thinking of Su Xinyi's final ending in his previous life, Shang Junyan's eyes became even colder. He said loudly: "Okay, jump, and die after you jump. I, Shang Junyan, will give you my life as compensation, so that you won't spread rumors about others and ruin their reputation. It's better to end it all and die peacefully."
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Who dared to persuade them again?
Princess Guangping was so frightened by Shang Junyan's words that she dared not persuade him anymore. She was so angry that she trembled all over and looked at her daughter with red eyes, "Qiong Si, open your eyes and look. What is there for you to like about a man like this? It's not worth it, my son, come down quickly."
After being shocked, Yan Congjia punched Shang Junyan, "If anything happens to my sister, I will never let you go."
Shang Junyan did not dodge and took the punch. He looked at Yan Congjia and sneered, saying, "Your family really raised a good daughter. Forcing her to marry with death is really eye-opening. I, Shang Junyan, am a man of iron will, but I will not obey. At most, I will pay with my life."
He wanted to see if his mother would still want him to marry Yan Qiongsi after today!
Princess Guangping cried so hard that she almost died. At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Look, Princess Yong'an! And His Royal Highness Prince Rong!"
Everyone looked over and saw that Princess Yong'an had already reached the bottom of the attic. His Royal Highness Prince Rong was right beside her. The two were discussing something.
Soon, everyone saw Princess Yong'an take a few steps, reach out and climb the eaves, and climb up to the second floor with a very agile posture. Then she climbed up the fence from the second floor to the third floor, and then made a gesture to Prince Rong.
Prince Rong gestured to the famous direction below, and signaled everyone not to make a sound, so as not to disturb the emotional Yan Qiongsi.
Everyone saw Princess Yong'an like a startled wild goose, walking on the eaves as if it were flat ground, and climbed up to the attic lightly with the help of the railing, watching her carefully crouching and leaning forward.
Everyone dared not breathe, and was afraid that Princess Runyi would find out something. Everyone had to persuade her to come down quickly, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Shang Junyan didn't dare to look at Su Xinyi. He didn't expect Su Xinyi to risk saving people. She wanted to save Yan Qiongsi even though she had done so many vicious things to her.
Su Xinyi crouched and gradually approached Yan Qiongsi, estimating the distance between her and her. Looking at Yan Qiongsi from a close distance, she felt that her emotions were a little wrong, especially after the shock and anger, her mind seemed a little trance, a weird smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she stretched out her feet, obviously about to jump down.
Everyone was terrified and exclaimed continuously, and then they saw that the ready-to-go Princess Yong'an was like an arrow from a string, and suddenly approached the Princess Runyi who was suspended in the air.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, raised their heads, and dared not breathe.
