Chapter 230 Marriage Grant
Xu Yingying entered the palace alone.
But she was careless and ignored the fact that Li Siming and the Imperial Concubine were eyeing her covetously.
She had just walked a few steps into the palace when she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and then fainted.
When Xu Yingying opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
"Where is this?" Xu Yingying muttered to herself subconsciously.
The next second, Li Siming appeared in front of Xu Yingying.
"This is naturally the prince's bedroom." Li Siming said to Xu Yingying proudly.
When Xu Yingying saw Li Siming, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She wondered what this guy was going to do next.
Li Siming was not angry about Xu Yingying's reaction. Instead, he observed Xu Yingying very seriously.
After a closer look, Li Siqi said to Xu Yingying excitedly, "I found that you are actually quite pretty."
"I have decided to change my strategy. I will ask the Emperor to marry you. Lord Xu's official position is not very high, so how about I let you be a concubine?"
After hearing this, Xu Yingying felt her eyes go dark and her blood pressure rose significantly.
"No, you're sick!" Xu Yingying couldn't help but scold Li Siming.
Li Siming laughed instead of getting angry after hearing this, "Tsk tsk tsk, you look more feminine when you're angry, not bad, not bad."
"Have you finished? Let me go now. I told you that the emperor is waiting to see me. If you don't let me go, the emperor might search the palace later." Xu Yingying said unbearably.
"Okay! Yingying, see you next time." Li Siming looked at Xu Yingying affectionately.
Xu Yingying hurriedly got out of bed and left the prince's bedroom at the fastest speed in her life.
night.
Li Siqi came back with a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong? What big thing happened?" Xu Yingying said with a puzzled look on her face.
"Li Siming is crazy. Today, he said in front of all the civil and military officials that you are a woman and said that he wanted to take you as his concubine. Now everyone in the palace knows that you are a woman." Li Siming said angrily.
After hearing this, Xu Yingying turned pale and said tremblingly: "Then, what about the emperor? He won't punish me for deceiving the emperor, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Siqi hurriedly shook his head, "That's not the case. I don't know what happened to my father today. He actually agreed to Li Siming's request to marry you."
After hearing this, Xu Yingying's eyes suddenly turned dark. Isn't this asking her to jump into a fire pit?
"Your Highness, can you help me tell your father to reject this marriage proposal? I don't want to marry the crown prince, let alone be his concubine."
Xu Yingying said with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
Li Siqi seemed to be hesitant to speak after hearing this, and finally sighed helplessly, "Father is the emperor after all, a true dragon emperor whose words are as good as gold. It is impossible for you to ask him to take back his decision, unless you are willing to marry me, then father might agree."
Xu Yingying was stunned when she heard this, but then she thought that this was indeed the best way.
Xu Yingying nodded and said, "Okay."
After seeing Xu Yingying agreed, Li Siqi went straight to the palace.
In the imperial study room.
Li Siqi was kneeling on the floor.
"Oh? You mean you like Xu Yingying too? You want me to marry Xu Yingying to you?"
The emperor said to Li Siqi with an interested look.
"Yes, father. I fell in love with Xu Yingying the first time I saw her. I will marry her in this life."
"Father, I have never asked you for anything in my life, except for this one thing. I hope you can agree to my request."
Li Siqi spoke to the emperor very piously.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction after listening to this. Xu Yingying was indeed a good girl with a bright future and good character. She was indeed worthy of Li Siqi.
What’s even more rare is that Li Siqi likes her.
"Great! Great! It's so rare! The iron tree finally bloomed."
"Then I will give Xu Yingying to you. I hope you can treat her well."
Li Siqi is actually the emperor's favorite son. If it weren't for Li Siqi's poor health, the position of crown prince would not have been Li Siming's turn.
Naturally, he would like to see lovers finally get married, as this reminded the emperor of the happy times when he and the queen lived in harmony.
"Su Shengyuan, bring me paper and pen. I want to draft an imperial decree to give Xu Yingying to Li Siqi as the ninth prince's consort." The emperor said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor took the brush and began to write very seriously.
When Li Siqi received the imperial decree granting marriage from Su Shengyuan, he felt as light as a dream, and it didn't seem real at all.
He stumbled towards the palace, ready to tell Xu Yingying the good news.
At the same time, the news that Xu Yingying was granted to Li Siqi as a princess spread throughout Daxia immediately.
Inside the East Palace.
"What did you say? Father gave Xu Yingying to my ninth brother?"
Li Siming was very angry when he got the news.
"Yes." The eunuch who delivered the message said tremblingly.
"Damn it, there are so many women in the world, why would he want to fight with me for this one?"
"That's really too much. I'll make a note of this. Li Siqi, I will make you pay the price."
Li Siming cursed.
Li Siming's chance fell through, and he hated Li Siqi even more in his heart.
It wasn't just because of Xu Yingying's matter, but also because he, as the crown prince, couldn't even snatch a little woman from Li Siqi.
This was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
After Li Siqi returned to the mansion, he told Li Siqi the good news.
Xu Yingying was extremely excited after hearing this, but before she could be happy, a group of maids who claimed to be sent by the palace appeared in the mansion to teach Xu Yingying etiquette and manners.
Hearing this, Xu Yingying had no choice but to pretend to be well-behaved and agreed.
Even though Xu Yingying was mentally prepared, the intensity of the nanny's training was still far beyond her tolerance.
"Walk lightly, keep your back straight, and don't wave your hands around randomly."
"Go slowly, and do it again."
"Wrong, wrong. You can't shake your head like a rattle."
……
The nanny held a ruler in her hand and instructed Xu Yingying very strictly.
After a day of training, Xu Yingying could not stand up when she returned to the room.
"What should I do? Camellia, I'm so annoyed! That old woman has so many things to do!"
Xu Yingying couldn't help but tell Camellia about her troubles.
Camellia smiled slightly when she heard this, "Master, please rest assured that you won't have to see this old woman tomorrow."
Xu Yingying asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Would I lie to you? Leave this matter to me!" Camellia patted his chest.
"it is good."
Early the next morning, news came that the nanny who was responsible for teaching Xu Yingying palace rules and etiquette had sprained her ankle yesterday and had difficulty getting out of bed. She would probably need to rest for a while.
After hearing this, Xu Yingying was extremely excited.
"Chahua, thank you." Xu Yingying said to Camellia with great gratitude.
"Come on, let's go out and play!"
Without the constraints of the governess, Xu Yingying happily left the palace with Camellia and went shopping on the street.
