Chapter 747: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (22)

When the crown prince of the Southern Border Kingdom returned with his army, the whole country was excited.

Not only that, he also brought back the huge spoils of the Northern Wing Kingdom, which was undoubtedly a huge victory.

People were discussing, "The Crown Prince's position is now as stable as Mount Tai, no one can shake it!"

Some even asserted: "Even the Emperor of the Southern Territory himself would not be able to shake the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After all, not everyone has the ability to take over the enemy country while being a hostage.

This record is unprecedented from ancient times to the present!

The court officials all agreed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was God’s own son and a natural-born emperor!

Those ministers who had helped the third prince to capture the Northern Wing Kingdom received generous rewards and high positions.

However, when it was Hua Yanliang's turn to accept the reward, an unexpected scene occurred - he actually refused the title bestowed by the Emperor of the Southern Territory without hesitation.

Not long after, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to the palace to meet the Emperor of the Southern Territory.

No one knew what they talked about, but the next day, an imperial decree that shocked the whole country was issued: the fourth princess Yu Yan would marry Sima General Hua Yanliang.

This sudden decision left everyone dumbfounded and became a hot topic on the streets for a while.

Since ancient times, the prince consort has no real power and can only serve as a mascot.

But Hua Yanliang actually still commands a large number of troops? Was he personally appointed as the Sima General by the Emperor?

Is this really that outrageous?

Although everyone murmured, the matter was still settled, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was asked to calculate an auspicious day.

When night fell, Hua Yanliang returned to the mansion and noticed the unusual lights and atmosphere in the mansion.

Since the fall of the Northern Wing Kingdom, their family moved to the southern border, and their lives have undergone tremendous changes.

Due to long-term running around and fatigue, Mrs. Hua's physical condition has deteriorated, so she goes to bed early every night.

However, tonight was unusual, and the entire mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The smile on Hua Yanliang's face gradually disappeared. He looked seriously at the old nanny who came to greet him and asked in a low voice: "Mammy, what happened? Why hasn't grandma fallen asleep yet?"

The old nanny did not answer his question directly, but said softly: "General, the old lady is waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, as if there was something important that she needed to discuss with Hua Yanliang.

Hua Yanliang's heart sank, realizing that things might not be simple.

He nodded to indicate that he understood, then walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.

Along the way, his thoughts were in a mess, wondering what had happened to make his grandmother so serious and not sleep late at night.

Hua Yanliang gently pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and what came into his sight was Old Madam Hua sitting upright in a chair, her expression solemn and full of worry.

He walked forward slowly and called softly, "...Grandma."

However, Madam Hua had a cold face and shouted loudly: "Kneel down!"

Although Hua Yanliang didn't understand the reason, he still knelt down obediently.

At this moment, the entire ancestral hall was silent and quiet, as if time had stopped, with only the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson, in it.

Old Madam Hua stared at her grandson closely, with an extremely complicated expression on her face, as if she was lost in deep thought.

After a long while, she finally asked solemnly, "You took the initiative to ask the Emperor for permission to marry the fourth princess who is his half-sister?"

Hua Yanliang nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes."

Hearing this exact answer, Madam Hua was so angry that her face turned blue. She took a quick step forward, raised her hand and slapped her grandson hard, cursing: "You have lost your conscience!"

There was a crisp "pa" sound, and Hua Yanliang's head was tilted after being hit, and a red palm print instantly appeared on his face.

When Old Madam Hua was young, she accompanied Duke Hua to the battlefield, and she also knew some martial arts.

Look, even though he is old, his hitting power is still just as strong.

Hua Yanliang covered his swollen cheek, raised his head with a puzzled look, and asked in confusion: "Grandma, what do you mean?"

Madam Hua was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stared at him with eyes wide open and shouted, "I want to ask you what you mean! Do you think I am old and deaf and blind? When you were in the Northern Wing Kingdom, you and the current Crown Prince of the Southern Territory were very close. You even secretly hid his handkerchief. Don't tell me that you have no relationship. Now you want to marry his sister. You are simply conscienceless."

As she spoke, she slapped her grandson's back hard, as if this was the only way to vent her anger and disappointment.

Hua Yanliang stared at his grandmother with eyes wide open in disbelief, and said in defense: "Grandma, you misunderstood, the Crown Prince and I are..."

"What? Are you trying to say we're just friends? Humph, can friends be this good? Don't treat me like a fool."

Madam Hua interrupted him, her tone becoming more severe.

"Since you are involved with the Crown Prince, you shouldn't mess with other women, let alone marry them. Moreover, you are now planning to seduce the Crown Prince's sister, who is from the same mother as you. Have you lost your mind? Are you planning to use the Fourth Princess as a shield to continue your ambiguous relationship with the Crown Prince?"

"No, Grandmother, that's not the case. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I have no private relationship. The woman I loved from the beginning was the Fourth Princess Yu Yan, not the Crown Prince Yu Chen."

Hua Yanliang quickly explained.

He is really confused now, feeling a little aggrieved and funny.

He never expected that his grandmother would misunderstand him and think he was a heartless man who cheated on women.

However, this cannot be blamed on the grandmother. After all, not many people knew that the fourth princess went to Beiyi Kingdom as a hostage in place of the crown prince.

After hearing what her grandson said, Old Lady Hua looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Hua Yanliang could only explain the truth of the matter to her.

He also specifically emphasized that the person he liked has always been the Fourth Princess Yu Yan, not the Crown Prince Yu Chen.

After hearing his words, Mrs. Hua fell into deep thought.

She began to recall recent events and realized that she might have really misunderstood her grandson.

At this moment, she saw her grandson's cheek which was slightly swollen from the slap she had given him, and she felt extremely guilty and ashamed.

This, this, this, she doesn’t even know that the truth of the matter is like this!

She thought her grandson would do such a bastard thing! This made her angry.

Old Madam Hua's eyes were wandering and she felt very guilty. She didn't dare to look directly into Hua Yanliang's eyes full of grievance.

She coughed a few times, trying to hide her guilt, then quickly reached out to help Hua Yanliang up, and said with a distressed look on her face: "Brother Liang, why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly. Grandmother was a little too harsh just now. Didn't I hurt you?"

Hua Yanliang: "..."

what do you think?

At this moment, his cheeks still felt a burning pain, as if they were burned by fire.

Grandma’s strength is still as good as it used to be!

The slap almost made his head fall off, and he instantly remembered the scene when he saw his grandmother slapping his uncle when he was a child. At that time, his uncle also went to the Imperial College with a red and swollen face.

"Grandma, my grandson is fine, don't worry."

Alas... After all, she is my own grandmother, so what can I do? There is nothing I can do except endure it silently.

Hua Yanliang stood up with the help of Old Madam Hua, and then carefully helped her back to her room to rest.

My grandmother is old and can't go to bed too late.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk outside.
