Chapter 80 Rebellious Officials of the Former Dynasty 12
She spoke casually, yet she moved Xiao Yao to tears.
He clutched the knife tightly to his chest and promised, "I will definitely give you an even better knife!"
Ling Yi wanted to touch his hair again, and she did: "No need, it's enough to have it."
Weapons are for killing; it doesn't matter what you use as long as the enemy's head is off.
Xiao Yao sniffed, unusually ignoring Ling Yi's words.
He wanted to give Lingyi the best!
At this point, he remembered the promise the Crown Prince had made, and his eyes lit up as he approached Ling Yi and told her about it.
"Then you will be my queen!" As he spoke, he stared at Ling Yi's lips, then turned his face away shyly.
Ling Yi suppressed a laugh; this guy's mind was incredibly shallow.
However, considering my own identity...
"It doesn't matter if we don't marry, we can just wander the world together." Once she finds an opportunity to kill Xiao Xian and Qingxi, where in the world can't they go?
Then they will become an ordinary couple, truly wandering the world.
"How can that be? Absolutely not!" Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously.
Before returning home, he wanted to marry Ling Yi because he believed that people who love each other should get married.
But after seeing a group of young girls surrounding her, Xiao Yao's thoughts completely changed.
In this vast world, it would be incredibly easy to find a few people like him who are easily swayed by lust.
Ling Yi is so wonderful, how many suitors must she attract!
If he loses his official status, he won't even have the right to expel those guys!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao snorted: "We must get married. All the formalities and marriage vows must be observed. Then I will be your rightful husband!"
When the time comes, if anyone dares to dress up in front of Ling Yi again, he will hold up the marriage certificate and confront them, making those guys realize their place!
Ling Yi: "..."
Although I don't know what this guy is thinking, it's definitely not anything good.
With her fingertips hooking around the jade belt at his waist, Ling Yi said calmly, "I'm hungry, let's eat."
Use food to clear your mind and stop thinking about it.
"Okay, let's eat!" Xiao Yao, who was on a one-way trip, instantly forgot about her unhappy things and happily served the meal.
The exquisite meals served in the Prince's residence were naturally incomparable to those eaten and slept on the road.
Xiao Yao, like a flamboyant peacock, wanted Ling Yi to know how good he was and how she couldn't live without him.
While the two were enjoying a sweet lunch, the emperor was smashing a cup in Lady Yu's palace.
"The Ninth Prince is being absurd, and the Crown Prince is being lenient!" He was so angry that his eyebrows almost jumped up.
Just now, his eldest son, who had been recuperating for a long time, unusually handed him a note.
The emperor thought he was just trying to greet his father, but he didn't expect that he was actually asking him to grant Xiao Yao a marriage with a woman of unknown origin!
How absurd!
Even if a prince's wife isn't chosen from among high-ranking officials and nobles, she should at least be chosen from a respectable family of modest means!
Look at what nonsense the Crown Prince is spouting! He actually wants to choose a woman from the martial arts world for the Ninth Prince, and she might even be a rebel!
Enraged, he immediately went to the Eastern Palace and argued with the Crown Prince, only to be rebuffed by the Crown Prince using the concubines in his harem who had given birth to two princes.
You've taken the sister of the former emperor and the concubine of the former emperor as concubines, so why do you care what your son marries?
Is it true that only the emperor is allowed to set fires, but the princes are not allowed to light lamps?
and……
“The Ninth Prince is simple-minded. Marrying such a wife might not be for his own good.” The Crown Prince’s weathered and melancholic voice rang in the Emperor’s ears, causing him to smash another cup.
Why say such things at such a young age!
His father isn't dead yet, so why does he act like he's about to die?
The self-deceiving emperor took another sip of tea before looking at Lady Yu, who was playing chess with a chess manual, and said, "Say something!"
Lady Yu has been favored by the emperor for over twenty years, and now, nearing forty, she remains stunningly beautiful, with a captivating charm and gentleness in her eyes and brows.
At this moment, she gently pinched the emperor's eye with the corner of her eye and said calmly, "Your Majesty has said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?"
Prince, prince, that is the emperor's son.
The emperor is still alive, so she has no right to speak.
Moreover, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Jiu'er to marry such a wife.
She was born a dancer, with neither a powerful maternal family nor any patron ministers, making her inherently weaker than concubines from aristocratic families.
Moreover, Jiu'er was not clever, and there was a big age gap between her and her older brothers. She simply did not have the ability to fight against those fierce and powerful brothers in their prime.
Marrying such a wife now is also a form of protection for him, isn't it?
only……
Gently biting her red lips, Madam Yu sighed.
How could she not want her son to marry a woman from a prestigious family?
"What did I say?" The emperor glared at him. "Besides, that's your son. Why can't you speak?"
He was on fire tonight; everything he said was offensive.
Lady Yu rolled her eyes inwardly, but said gently, "If it's as I say, then marry her. There's nothing more important in this world than Jiu'er's happiness."
The emperor's anger vanished abruptly, and he looked intently at Lady Yu: "Are you truly willing?"
Madam Yu's heart tightened, and she gently covered the emperor's hand with her own, her voice tender: "Jiu'er has been spoiled by us, which has made him so stubborn. If we don't obey him, who knows what trouble he might cause."
"It's better to agree now than to lose face later."
The emperor's tone softened, but his voice still held a hint of anger: "Don't drag me into this; you're the only one who spoils this child!"
Lady Yu smiled but remained silent.
Ordinary people feel that their children are unfilial when they get old, and they worry that their children are coveting their property. How much more so for an emperor who owns the largest property in the world?
It doesn't matter. One who has no desires is invincible. Let him have his doubts.
The emperor remained silent for a long time before saying, "Then let's meet him. Tomorrow I will summon the Ninth Prince to the palace so you can see the wife he has chosen for himself."
He paused, a deep sadness flashing in his eyes: "If it's suitable, then let's get married before the New Year."
Normally, preparing for a prince's wedding for a year or two is considered rushed. Now, with only three months left until the New Year, it's likely that even a magnificent wedding dress won't be ready.
But after the emperor said these words, Lady Yu did not object in the slightest.
She knew that the Crown Prince had petitioned the Emperor for this matter, and she also knew that the Emperor wanted to fulfill the Crown Prince's wish before he died.
A sigh flashed in her eyes, and Lady Yu leaned into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, I will obey all your orders."
The Crown Prince is a good Crown Prince. If he were healthy, would his other brothers dare to be so restless as they are now?
but……
If he were in good health, His Majesty's attitude towards him might not be as uncompromising as it is now.
All I can say is that time is destiny.
