Fu Ciyi responded naturally: "Yes, father."
Long Yi continued, "I ordered you and your wife to leave the capital to welcome the delegation for a reason. I wanted you to know who the delegation members are as soon as possible so that you could investigate their backgrounds. But you, on the other hand, are dragging your feet even before entering the palace."
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Fu Ciyi admitted his mistake.
"Father, you can't blame my husband for this. It was my fault that day." Yan Funing also said.
"Alright, alright, you're a united couple," Long Yi instructed them. "What I said today is known only to the four of us. Before the matter becomes clear, I don't want you to tell anyone else."
Fu Beimo asked, "What about the Queen Mother?"
"It's not that I don't want your mother to know, but once she knows, Nan Yao will definitely know too, and then it will be a big problem." Long Yi sighed, "Nan Yao's temperament is unstable, and there are too many uncertainties."
"I understand."
"Well." Long Yi waved his hand, "Retreat."
"yes."
The three were about to leave when a noise was heard outside the imperial study.
"What? You won't even let me in?" The voice belonged to Qiao Wanyou.
Eunuch Han was in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has given an order, and I dare not disobey."
"Get out of the way, I want to go in." Qiao Wanyou got angry and pushed the palace servants guarding the door to rush in.
"Let the queen in." Long Yi ordered.
Eunuch Han took the lead and bowed to give way.
As Qiao Wanyou stepped over the threshold, she loudly questioned, "I promised Qingyi long ago to treat her daughter well. Maybe Nuowenyu would only have Fu Ning as his wife, and yet you're forcing a woman from Beiqi into Prince Rui's mansion."
Having said this, he saw that his son and daughter-in-law were both there.
"Mother." The three of them saluted.
"You are here to talk about Princess Beiqi's marriage as well, right?" Qiao Wanyou was still angry, her eyes piercing Long Yi behind the imperial desk.
"We are indeed here to discuss this matter, mother. Don't worry, your son will take care of it." Fu Ciyi said.
Qiao Wanyou, however, didn't believe it and looked at Yan Funing, "It's hard to trust a man's words. Just say that someone once said he loved me the most, and look at how many concubines he married for you."
Long Yi: “…”
You are really bringing up something that is not related to the topic.
Unfortunately, he couldn't refute this matter.
"Mother, I am different from my father." Fu Ciyi said hurriedly.
Even Fu Beimo expressed his opinion: "Mother, my son is different from my father! If I marry in the future, I will only marry one wife. Also, in my eyes, there is only one sister-in-law."
Long Yi again: "..."
After all, he is their biological father!
"Shut up, both of you." Qiao Wanyou glanced at her two sons, took Yan Funing's hand, and said ashamedly, "I'm sorry for wronging you." Turning to look at Long Yi with resentment, "You must retract your order. That Beiqi woman is so shameless, she's capable of anything. If she enters the mansion, my delicate daughter Funing will be bullied terribly by her, right?"
Long Yi frowned.
Could it be that everything he said to the three of them just now was all bullshit?
There is no one to say a few words to help him at this moment?
It's all bullshit!
At this moment, Yan Funing spoke up, "Mother, Father didn't allow a woman from Northern Qi to replace my principal wife. Moreover, Father didn't expect Gongsun Man to be willing to be my co-wife."
"Listen, Fu Ning actually speaks for you." Qiao Wanyou glared at Long Yi again.
Long Yi had no choice but to put on a smile for his wife.
Yan Funing continued, "To be honest, even if Gongsun Man became my concubine, I wouldn't want her to be. But don't worry, mother. She may not be able to enter the palace."
Unless someone was determined to marry Gongsun Man as his concubine, she would never allow Gongsun Man to enter the palace.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant." Long Yi immediately dismissed them. "You three, step aside. I have something important to discuss with your mother."
He was afraid that they would accidentally reveal his plan.
"Yes." The three said and left.
Qiao Wanyou raised her hand towards them: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
Long Yi stood up from behind the imperial desk, signaled Eunuch Han outside the door with a glance to close it, and then he grabbed his wife's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Qiao Wanyou was annoyed: "I've let you and your daughter handle Nan Yao's affairs. Wen Yu and Fu Ning have a good relationship, and I won't allow anyone to destroy them."
"I know."
Long Yi knew that his wife would not listen to anything he said, so he simply pressed his lips against hers.
"Fuck you..."
Before Qiao Wanyou could finish her curse, her mouth was blocked tightly.
They were an old couple, yet they kissed in broad daylight in the imperial study.
He was really angry and started to struggle.
As soon as she struggled, Long Yi became interested and picked her up horizontally and carried her directly to the imperial desk.
"Hey, you're the emperor."
"What happened to the emperor?"
Long Yi was about to sweep everything on the imperial table to the ground when he was stopped by Qiao Wanyou.
"This is your kingdom."
Qiao Wanyou really couldn't believe it.
The kiss just now had already shocked her, and now the man's actions seemed to want to take her on the imperial desk?
Long Yi held her head and kissed her hard on the mouth: "Now you are my kingdom and my people."
Having said that, he finally moved the things on the imperial desk aside.
Qiao Wanyou raised her eyebrows and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, "We can't let Gongsun Man destroy the relationship between Wen Yu and Fu Ning. If you agree, I will obey you."
"I agree, I agree." Long Yi said repeatedly, "You have to give me time, and you have to trust that the young couple can handle this matter."
"good."
Not long after, a blushing and heart-pounding sound came from the imperial study.
Eunuch Han was so happy that his wrinkles deepened, and he quickly ordered the palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding him to stand further away.
--
At this moment, the three people who were walking towards the palace gate stopped.
Fu Beimo was about to return to the prince's residence, and he was confused, so he held his brother and sister-in-law on both sides: "What if Gongsun Man can't wait to enter the palace, it will be difficult to handle the situation."
"Don't worry about this." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, if you need any help, just tell me." Fu Beimo patted his chest.
"Yeah." Yan Funing nodded.
After bidding farewell to Fu Beimo, the couple boarded the carriage.
On the other side, Gongsun Sheng visited the Yan family again.
Seeing him coming again, the old Duke was surprised and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for me to play chess?"
Gongsun Sheng said shamefacedly, "Today in the palace, Man'er mentioned her affection for Prince Rui, and Emperor Dajing decided to marry him as his concubine. I wonder if Master Yan has heard of this?"
"Is this really true?" The old Duke clenched his fist. "What did Prince Rui say?"
"Since it's the order of His Majesty the Great Jing, Prince Rui, as a prince, can't say anything." Gongsun Sheng looked embarrassed. "Grandpa Yan, my sister is truly sorry to Second Miss Yan, but she has set her heart on the person and can't change him. Now my apology is useless."
The old Duke nodded. "I know you've been polite and measured since childhood. Princess Man is your sister. You and she are two different people after all. How can I blame you for her behavior?"
