After hearing this, the Regent coughed lightly.
His lips were practically splitting from smiling.
See?
Marrying her would be troublesome.
The Holy Emperor secretly glanced at the Regent, trying to see if he had heard Lin Wanwan's thoughts.
But he remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.
He took a deep breath.
How could he be so unlucky?
"Your Majesty is right. With so many beauties in the harem, Your Majesty should still be on guard. If one day someone tries to steal the emperor's wife, don't blame me for not warning you."
The Holy Emperor was deeply humiliated by his own self-defeating thought.
He shouldn't have said that in front of the little guy!
How many families has she broken up?
Just then, Eunuch Wang entered.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei requests an audience."
The Holy Emperor and the Regent exchanged a glance.
She glanced at the two children and the second prince again.
What an ungrateful old fool!
The Marquis of Zhenbei stood at the door, extremely anxious.
Today, I finally managed to come to the palace, only to find those ministers supervising the exam.
When Eunuch Wang came out of the Imperial Study, he said to Marquis Zhenbei, "Marquis Zhenbei, His Majesty invites you in."
The Marquis of Zhenbei expressed his gratitude and then walked inside, lifting his trouser leg.
The Holy Emperor sat at his desk, looking at the anxious expression on the face of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and put down the memorial in his hand.
"Marquis of Zhenbei, today is the imperial examination. Instead of burning incense and praying to Buddha for your son's success, what are you doing here with me?"
Marquis Zhenbei knelt on the ground and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a request."
The Holy Emperor lowered his gaze.
Tell me about it.
"Your Majesty, after my grandfather passed away, the late Emperor promised that the title would be passed down for three generations. After my father passed away, the title was passed down to me. My generation is the last one."
"Your Majesty, I would like to request that you transfer my current title to my son. I am willing to relinquish the honor of the title."
The Marquis of Zhenbei raised his head and looked intently at the Holy Emperor.
If Shixuan were to pass the imperial examination with top honors and receive a noble title, that would be a double guarantee of success.
This couldn't be better for Shixuan's career.
Now that he's been demoted so many ranks, it'll be difficult for him to climb back up.
Furthermore, he plans to divorce Ye Lanyin after the imperial examinations, which will damage his reputation.
Passing the title to Shixuan was the wisest choice.
He could die without regrets if he could see the Marquis's mansion rise to even greater heights in his lifetime.
