Chapter 284
Song originally planned to go to the princess first as soon as he returned home, but when he heard his son's miserable situation, he immediately changed direction. Even if he wanted to ask the old man to plead with her, she had to figure out what happened to Princess Xiya changed her mind, right? Could it be that Pan Jiaming showed up and coerced Xiya? Otherwise, once a woman was in love with a man, how could she give up and turn to another man? That was a slut!
If it were before, Song would not have such doubts, because she would not think that Pan Jiaming, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, is so conscientious, but now there is Xiao Feng who follows Pan Jiaming, who is always following them, that is the nemesis of their big house. He must have been staring at their big house all day long and causing trouble for them, right?
As soon as she saw Pan Jiajin, Song's heart suddenly twitched. In just a few days, why did her handsome and handsome son become so haggard? It was obvious that the marriage imperial edict had been issued, and his son was very reluctant to get married.
Of course, she was reluctant. In addition to affecting her future, there was also a very important point. On the day the group arrived in Luocheng, everyone with long eyes could see Princess Xiya's passionate love for Pan Jiaming. No matter what she chose Pan Jiajin now, it always makes people feel blocked? Let's settle for the second best? Which man would like the wife who loves other men's hearts?
"Mom---" When Pan Jiajin saw Song, it seemed that a drowning man caught a life-saving straw. Although he knew that the imperial edict had been finalized, who had given her a queen aunt who was deeply loved by the emperor? As long as her grandfather was willing to ask for her aunt and her aunt was willing to ask for the emperor, then everything was possible.
But my grandfather had no intention of fighting for it, and my father gave up so quickly, which made him deeply shocked. He felt like a abandoned chess chess, which was also an important reason why he was decadent for the past two days.
Although he was born in a polite family, because he had only a dandy son from his second family, Pan Jiajin had a sense of superiority and the sense of responsibility he imagined since childhood. He felt that he was the big house, and even the hope of the entire British Duke's Mansion, and he had always been confidently waiting for the queen's aunt to truly recognize who is the pearl and who is the fish eye, and who can truly become her parents' help.
However, just as he felt that he was about to make a comeback, God actually made such a big joke with him and was abandoned by his grandfather and father so quickly. How could he feel?
If they had never given him hope and had not made him determined to take over the British Duke's Mansion and become an important minister in the court, perhaps he could still hold on to the duty of a grandson of a commoner. Whether he was calming down and studying hard for a career, or managing the commoner's business in peace and ease like other people's sons and grandsons who had not separated from their families, it would not be as painful as they are now. Because in such a situation, especially when he could only manage the commoner's affairs outside the mansion, marrying Princess Xiya is a way to maintain wealth.
Unfortunately, without the if, his heart was already grown up by his grandfather and parents, so it was not so easy to convince himself to be content with his so-called duty. He wanted too much!
His mother's return home made him rekindle a glimmer of hope. His grandfather was too loyal to the emperor and the queen, and his father was too flattering and awe of his grandfather. For them, without him, Pan Jiajin, and Pan Jiaxin, who showed his talent for studying at a young age, could give up easily. Only his mother knew how much his mother valued him, the eldest son, and his mother would do everything possible to fight for him.
Song looked at the eldest son with great distress, and touched Pan Jiajin's face with his hands tremblingly and asked, "Jin'er, what happened? Did you mess with Xiya at the horse-drawn banquet and make her misunderstand something, or did you say something in front of Erlang or Xiao Feng? Xiya is so in love with Erlang, why did she suddenly want you to kiss her?"
Pan Jiajin felt aggrieved: "Men and women are defending each other, how could I provoke Xiya?" If you want to provoke it, you should provoke Princess Chunxi, okay? At the horse-driving banquet, he had to be busy showing off his stunning skills and show that he was not inferior to Pan Jiaming's archery skills, and secretly pay attention to Chunxi's whereabouts, hoping to find an opportunity to attract her attention, so where can he have time to provoke Xiya?
"Who knows what she suddenly sucked?" Pan Jiajin curled her lips, "Whether it was at or after the horse-driving banquet, she did not show any abnormality. It was not until the imperial edict came out that I went to ask for the fourth prince that I learned that Prince Siti asked him to tell him that Xiya intended to marry me. After returning to Beijing, the brother and sister asked to meet the emperor. I don't know when Xiya suddenly fell in love with me."
If he had already asked Princess Chunxi for engagement, or even became the prince-in-law, and if there were other women, even if Xiya fell in love with him, he would feel complacent and take it for granted. He was much better than Pan Jiaming's playboy, right? Only those ignorant and short-sighted women and their families would stare at the so-called direct grandson.
Nothing was born? Song's more confused: "You didn't tell the fourth prince that Xiya likes Pan Jiaming. Many people saw it at that time. Will Xiya suddenly do this make people think that you two are looking at the wall for a princess and brothers in Fanbang, which will damage the Empress and even the Daying Dynasty's face?"
Song thought this was the best reason, and she also wanted to use this to convince the prince. As for the rest, it was better to die than to die for fellow Taoists, let alone let Pan Jiaming go to his parents and was their plan.
Pan Jiajin smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you say it? But the fourth prince said with certainty that it was impossible. He said that when he was in the capital, Siti and Xiya knew that the queen loved Pan Jiaming very much. The standard for choosing a legitimate wife for him was very high, and there was a candidate. How could he offend the queen even though he knew it was impossible?" He already had a candidate? Who else could he not be Princess Chunxi? He was also a nephew, and why did the treatment be so different from the queen's aunt? Even though his grandfather always loved him the most, the queen's aunt disdained him and didn't even care about filial piety.
The mother and son were discussing, and a maid came to the front yard, who was the eldest maid from the Duke's study.
Jade blessed a gift and handed a long gift list: "Madam, the Duke of the Kingdom has an order. Tomorrow is the day when the decree is issued. Since you are back, you will take over. If there is still something missing, discuss with the old lady. Be sure to satisfy the king and queen of the Tibetan area and give the queen a face. As for the rest of the things that are not available, don't think too much. The Duke of England's Mansion is the most loyal to the emperor and the queen, and will not do anything that disobeys the holy will."
