Fu Yunlang said irritably: "Anyway, don't worry about my affairs."

He took two steps forward and thought of King Qi. He paused and turned around and said, "Your Highness, King Qi, please help me and tell me that it is just a trivial matter and there is no need to trouble the noble concubine. Thank you very much for his kindness."

With that said, he left quickly.

Fu Yunkai looked at his brother's retreating back, his brows furrowed tightly.

Turning his head, he looked at the courtyard where the He family lived, hesitated for a moment, turned around and left the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

After going to Prince Qi's Mansion to find Xiao Lingyan, Fu Yunkai told him what had happened. He stood up and saluted Xiao Lingyan and said, "Yunlang has betrayed His Highness's good intentions and disturbed the noble concubine. It is really shameful."

He used to have a good relationship with Xiao Lingpu and only treated Xiao Lingyan like a child.

But Xiao Lingyan risked his life to deliver food and grass to the border, and also played a great role in the war. It can be said that the fact that their father and son did not die in this battle was mostly due to Xiao Lingyan.

During this period of time together at the border, Fu Yunkai also found that Xiao Lingyan was completely different from before. I don't know whether it was because he had grown up or because of the different environment. He seemed to be a different person, and he had his own way of doing everything.

He has thoughtful ideas and a flexible mind, and there seems to be nothing he can't solve. As long as he says he can do it, he will do it, and he will do it better than they expected. He is an extremely reliable person.

Fu Yunkai's impression of Xiao Lingyan completely changed. He not only regarded Xiao Lingyan as the most outstanding young man of his age, but also had admiration and respect. This was the same feeling he had for Xiao Lingpu.

At that time, my father said with emotion that the children of the royal family were just different. They didn't look good at ordinary times, but in fact, if they were put into adversity, they would be the best among men.

So when facing Xiao Lingyan, Fu Yunkai's attitude was completely different from before.

Xiao Lingyan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "What is our relationship? It doesn't have to be like this. Who Yun Lang wants to marry is not an important matter."

Pingnan Hou Mansion was the focus of his and Zhao Ruxi's attention, and the Cen family was his maternal ancestor's family. He knew immediately that the He family sent someone to propose marriage to Miss Cen Shi.

Naturally, the Cen family would discuss this matter with him and Xiao Lingpu.

Xiao Lingpu felt regretful at first, not being able to arrange a marriage between Fu Yunkai and the Cen family. Now that he knew that the He family had fallen in love with Miss Cen Shi, he was naturally very happy and immediately signaled to the Cen family to facilitate the marriage.

Xiao Lingyan proposed to let Cen Guifei help Fu Yunlang, firstly to fulfill the recognition promised to Fu Yunlang, and secondly, to test Fu Yunlang's current idea.

No, the result came out after just one try.

He didn't want to talk more about it, so he asked about Fu Yunkai's wedding date: "You are not young anymore, and you can't stay in the capital for a long time. Have you discussed it with the Mu family? When do you plan to get married?"

Fu Yunkai nodded: "We have discussed it and we will finish the ceremony as soon as possible and we will get married around May."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Xiao Lingyan said his congratulations sincerely.

"Does Your Highness have a girl you like?" Fu Yunkai asked teasingly, "The Imperial Concubine has been worrying about Your Highness these days."

After returning from the border, Concubine Cen began to force Xiao Lingyan to marry him. He knew that Xiao Lingyan was in great distress during this period.

Xiao Lingyan gets a headache when he mentions this.

He waved his hand: "Please don't mention this, it gives me a headache."

Fu Yunkai laughed "haha".

"In the past, I was forced to marry not only by my mother, but also by you and His Highness. Now His Highness has also experienced this feeling, right?"

Xiao Lingyan glared at him and stood up: "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to the palace."

With that said, he walked outside regardless of whether Fu Yunkai, the guest, had left or not.

Fu Yunkai quickly followed. They walked out of the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion and parted ways.

Xiao Lingyan went into the palace and explained the matter to Concubine Cen.

Although his attitude towards Fu Yunlang was just a test, a whole show, he had actually mentioned this to Concubine Cen before.

Concubine Cen actually had no time to pay attention to Fu Yunlang. What kind of wife did other people's sons marry, and what kind of wife did it have to do with her? She only cared about her son.

She winked at her maid and said to Xiao Lingyan: "You are also building a mansion outside now. It will only become harder and harder to see you in the future. Now that you are here, let me have a cup of tea with my mother."

"Let's wait for another day. I have something to do outside the palace. I just took the time to come in and talk to my mother and concubine. I have to be busy soon." Xiao Lingyan really didn't want to stay here and listen to Concubine Cen talking about which girl is the best.

What happened between him and Zhao Ruxi cannot be said yet.

Not to mention that the imperial examination that Zhao Ruxi will take next will be greatly affected by this, and it will not be possible to be assigned to another place when the official position is appointed; just talking about the current situation between him and Xiao Lingpu, it is almost a public target.

His enemies, the prince and the third prince knew that Zhao Ruxi was his favorite, so they would definitely make a fuss about Zhao Ruxi. This consequence was not what he and Zhao Ruxi wanted.

Zhao Ruxi needs to stay quiet and fight for a safe space for herself. In this way, she can help Xiao Lingyan unexpectedly at critical moments. This is like a trump card and should not be exposed early.

"My mother has something to tell you." Concubine Cen didn't want to let her son go. She motioned for all the servants to go out, leaving only a close maid by her side.

"Xiao Wu." She lowered her face and said to Xiao Lingyan in a low voice, "I am forcing you to get engaged, not only because you are old enough to get engaged, but also because I am looking for someone to help us. Your brother has no choice but to get married.

Girl from the Cen family, you are not like that. Now the Duke of Wei is interested in our group and is willing to marry us. The girl Qi Xuan in the Duke of Wei is also very good. If you marry her, it will not be regarded as a injustice to you. Yes.

What else are you dissatisfied with about this marriage?"

The corner of Xiao Lingyan's mouth raised in a mocking tone: "Concubine, for my brother, I went to the battlefield and narrowly escaped death. I finally came back alive, but in the end I have to be used by you for marriage, sacrificing my own happiness for my brother's future.

.Mother and concubine, who am I in your eyes? How much do you have to squeeze my value before you are willing to accept it? Is the whole meaning of my life just for the position that my brother wants?"

After saying this, he turned around and left regardless of how surprised the expression on Concubine Cen's face was.

In fact, he knew that Concubine Cen arranged for his marriage, which was not her intention. He and Xiao Lingpu were like grasshoppers tied together. They both prospered and suffered losses. Only when Xiao Lingpu succeeded, he could live a good life; if Xiao Lingpu failed,

, he will not survive. Therefore, it is necessary to make necessary sacrifices for this group.

But he still didn't want them to take it for granted.
