Chapter 134 Please allow me to divorce him.
When entering the palace today, the palace servants were all dumbfounded when they saw that Tan Zhuoyan's legs were healthy and she walked with great vigor. Tan Zhuoyan naturally noticed that everyone was looking at her, so she walked with even more vigor.
He was just short of shouting out loud that his legs could walk.
After his legs healed, he had been looking for an opportunity to save his face in front of others. The palace servants paid a lot of attention to him, and Qin Zhuoyan was so happy that the corners of her mouth never drooped.
"My legs are healed now. You and I will divorce. Don't regret it in the future. But even if you regret, it's useless. How can I spend my life with someone like you?"
When they were almost at the imperial study, Qin Zhuoyan said this out of the blue, for some reason.
Liu Mingyue found it funny and nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will never spend our lives together."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them arrived in front of the imperial study. Tan Zhuoyan turned around and put aside her dissatisfaction with Liu Mingyue, explained her intentions to the palace servants outside the imperial study, and asked to see the emperor.
While the palace maid was entering the hall to deliver the message, Tan Zhuoyan straightened her clothes and stood up straight.
This time, in addition to the divorce, Tan Zhuoyan also hopes to take this opportunity to show her face in front of His Majesty again. Today, the road from the palace gate to the imperial study is the road to divorce, but also the road to entering the officialdom.
"Your Highness is the only legitimate son in the Marquis' Mansion. Your Highness must present yourself well in front of His Majesty." There was something veiled in Liu Mingyue's words, and they were not good words at all.
However, Tan Zhuoyan was so proud of herself that she didn't care what Liu Mingyue said. She said disdainfully, "You don't need to remind me."
He originally intended to show himself in front of the emperor to remind him that he could walk and was no longer disabled, and that the emperor should give him a job.
The current Marquis Dingbei is not good at martial arts, has never been on the battlefield, and has no achievements to support him. The Marquis's mansion has long since declined, and Tan Zhuoyan has been trying to revive the mansion over the years.
"Your Majesty, please come into the hall." The palace servant who had gone in to deliver the message came out quickly, bowed and led the two into the imperial study.
Tan Zhuoyan and Liu Mingyue walked into the imperial study, knelt down side by side and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
The emperor, who was reading the memorial, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "No need to be polite. Stand up and take a seat."
The emperor's descendants were mostly tolerant and did not let the two kneel for long. However, after Tan Zhuoyan and the other two stood up, the emperor was stunned and asked the chief eunuch beside him in a low voice: "Who is this?"
Just now the eunuch came in to deliver a message. He was reading the memorials when he heard the Crown Prince's son.
He was a little surprised to see a unfamiliar face. There were many marquises in this dynasty, and most of them had sons. The emperor could not recognize who was in front of him.
The emperor remembered Qin Zhuoyan, but Qin Zhuoyan did not hold an official position. The emperor's impression of him was that he was lame and could only get around in a wheelchair all year round. The emperor could only recognize people when he saw them in a wheelchair.
Now, Tan Zhuoyan was standing right in front of him, but the emperor couldn't recognize who she was.
"Your Majesty, this is the prince of Dingbei Marquis, and the one next to the prince is the prince's consort." The chief eunuch saw the emperor's embarrassment and immediately explained the identities of the two to the emperor.
The emperor then realized who the two were and was even more shocked: "The young master of Dingbei Marquis's family? His name is Tan Zhuoyan?"
"That's right." The chief eunuch replied in a low voice.
The emperor said "Oh" and nodded in surprise. He didn't expect that it was the boy from Dingbei Marquis' family.
When they met at palace banquets in the past, Qin Zhuoyan was taciturn and always kept her head down. But today, she was full of energy and spirit, and her leg had healed, so the emperor naturally did not recognize her.
Over the years, Marquis Dingbei and his wife have worked hard for their son's legs. Now that his legs are getting better, it is a cause for celebration.
"I wonder why you two have come to see me?" The emperor did not ask how Qin Zhuoyan's legs got better, but directly asked them the purpose of their coming here today. He still had many memorials to read and did not have time to talk to them for too long.
"Your Majesty, I brought my wife here today to ask Your Majesty to allow us to divorce." Tan Zhuoyan stood up and bowed in response to the emperor after she sat down. The emperor then lowered his head to read the memorial, and raised his eyes again after hearing her words.
The emperor looked at the silent woman beside Tan Zhuoyan, Liu Mingyue, and asked in confusion: "Divorce?"
The emperor's eyesight was not very good, and he had to squint to see the appearance of Liu Mingyue who was sitting not far away. After observing closely, the emperor found that there was a large birthmark on Liu Mingyue's face.
I still remember the first time they met. Because they were too far away at the palace banquet, he could only see the rough outline of Liu Mingyue's face. That's why he said in front of everyone that Liu Mingyue looked gentle and beautiful. He didn't expect that her face was actually...
"I remember that you two have been married for less than a year?" The emperor asked casually, remembering the gift he had sent before.
Tan Zhuoyan was afraid that the emperor would not agree to their divorce, so she immediately said, "Yes, but she and I have different personalities and are not destined to be together, so please allow me to divorce her."
His explanation was a little anxious. As the ruler of a country, the emperor had met countless people in his life. How could he not see what Qin Zhuoyan was thinking? He was worried that he would disagree.
The emperor glanced at Tan Zhuoyan and did not give an immediate answer. Instead, he looked at Liu Mingyue.
From the moment Tan Zhuoyan proposed the divorce, she just sat there quietly. She didn't seem sad, nor did she have any other expression. She was unusually calm, and her style of acting indifferent to fame or disgrace left a good impression on the emperor.
"Since both of you have made up your mind, just go and inform the Queen. I have something else to do, so I will not keep you here." The emperor waved his hand and ordered them to leave.
The divorce between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was not a serious matter, and since both of them were willing to divorce, it was even less of a big deal, so the Emperor simply nodded.
The emperor was silent just now, and Qin Zhuoyan was still worried that the emperor would not agree. But the emperor agreed casually without saying anything more, and Qin Zhuoyan felt dissatisfied again.
Tan Zhuoyan's expression was slightly stiff, and she stood there in a daze, while Liu Mingyue had already stood up. The emperor saw that Tan Zhuoyan did not move, and asked in confusion: "What else?"
"No, nothing." Qin Zhuoyan suppressed her dissatisfaction and took Liu Mingyue to thank the emperor.
"I and your wife thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your help."
The two of them bowed to express their gratitude. Qin Zhuoyan's tone was somewhat resentful, but he tried his best to restrain himself so it was not obvious.
"You, are the adopted daughter of the Zhou family?" Just as the two were about to leave, the emperor suddenly asked Liu Mingyue.
The two of His Highness were both stunned. Liu Mingyue bowed and replied, "Yes, General Zhou is my daughter's stepfather."
Liu Mingyue lowered her head, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She knew very well how Zhou Junyuan died. If the emperor investigated the matter and took his anger out on her at this time, she would be shooting herself in the foot.
