News that Lin Wanwan was not dead reached the palace.
The Holy Emperor was so pleased that he went to the ancestral hall to offer incense.
"Grandfather, ancestors, Wanwan is back. She is not dead."
"Thanks to our ancestors for their blessings. When Lady Ye and my brother get married, I will definitely register the names of their children in the Imperial Archives as soon as possible."
"A life that survives a great calamity is bound to be blessed with good fortune. Wanwan is truly our child. Look at her good fortune! It's not over yet."
The Holy Emperor was muttering incoherently inside the palace, while Eunuch Wang, listening outside, broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the Holy Emperor might faint from excitement.
This is a very serious matter.
Fortunately, he was out soon after.
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
As soon as the palace doors opened, Eunuch Wang offered his arm for the Emperor to support him.
The Holy Land glanced at him. "What? Do you think I'm old?"
"How could that be? Your Majesty, you look so energetic and spirited. You only speak when you're angry. Even the emperors of the other five kingdoms are not as good as you."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor's lips curled up slightly, he brushed the hand away, and revealed a satisfied smile.
"Alright, enough with the flattery. Let's go back to the Imperial Study."
"yes."
Eunuch Wang was overjoyed; the arrogant Holy Emperor was back.
The group returned to the Imperial Study in a grand procession. The Emperor was overjoyed along the way, his mind racing with plans as he secretly pondered when to bring Lin Wanwan into the palace.
As the emperor walked down the corridor back to his room, he saw the regent, who had been impossible to summon these past few days, from afar.
The moment I saw him, his smile froze.
Goodness.
It seems that Ye Lanyin has indeed captured his heart.
He stepped down from the sedan chair and said irritably, "What? Got some free time?"
The Regent coughed lightly, "Ahem, um."
"Come in." The Holy Emperor pushed open the door to the Imperial Study and walked straight in.
After quickly serving the tea, Eunuch Wang withdrew.
"Speak, what do you want with me?" The Holy Emperor's gaze was indifferent. He knew his younger brother better than anyone else; he would never come to him for no reason.
"Brother, you said last time that you would cover the entire wedding banquet when I get married..."
Holy Emperor: !!!
"I had no idea you had such a good memory?"
He's never been this proactive in matters of the court, and he always sends those few secret guards to coordinate with him.
He even felt that his younger brother was more busy than he, the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have always had a good memory. Thank you for your praise."
The Holy Emperor's lips twitched repeatedly, and he changed his posture, standing up abruptly. "When did I praise you?"
"Didn't you realize I was subtly mocking you?"
The Regent took a sip of tea. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't recognize it."
"You, you, you, you..." For a moment, the Holy Emperor didn't know what words to use to describe him.
“Brother, if we miss this street, we won’t find another shop like this. The whole of Bianjing is waiting for my wedding. If Lanyin suddenly changes her mind and doesn’t want to marry me, then I will have no choice but to pester her until she agrees.”
"This not only saves a sum of money, but also saves the royal family a lot of money in the future, which can be considered as fulfilling the wishes of the emperor."
"Alright, I'm too shy to stay any longer. Today I'll bid my royal brother a formal farewell. We'll probably meet again among the common people in the future."
"Oh, no, Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs that he probably doesn't leave the palace often. In that case, we can only wait until the children have made something of themselves, and then we can benefit from their success and see if we can get into the palace..."
The Holy Emperor was dumbfounded, feeling as if he was about to vomit up his breakfast.
So you're just bullying him?
He hasn't even settled the score with him yet for the damage to the palace gate last time.
"I didn't say I couldn't." The Holy Emperor, finally losing his temper, put on a smiling face. "Don't worry, I will. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
If he really goes to their door, won't his father and mother scold him to death?
If our ancestors found out, they'd be turning in their graves.
The officials were most concerned about the regent's marriage every day when they went to court, fearing that their daughters would be taken by a pig.
Will he have a good life in the future?
"In that case, I'll leave everything to my elder brother." The Regent took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea from the corner of his lips. "By the way, the wedding should be quick and on an auspicious day."
"It would be best to wait for the results of the imperial examination in Rui'an."
The Emperor snapped his fingers and pulled a memorial from the table. “Alright, you can leave now. I’m very busy. The Imperial Observatory will let you know when they have the schedule.”
"Furthermore, Father and Mother will be back soon. You should move back to your Regent's Palace as soon as possible. Have you considered the Ye family's situation if they find out?"
The Regent frowned. "Brother, you should be more worried about yourself."
After the regent finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
When the emperor saw that the person had left, his face fell, and he angrily slammed the memorial down again.
"Hmph! Now that you have a wife, you're all standing tall, aren't you?"
"Why should I worry about Father Emperor's return? I have beauties in my arms every day, far more than you!!!"
He gestured with two fists towards the door.
"Don't come again. I don't want to see you. Get out..."
"Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Jiang stood at the door of the Imperial Study, stunned.
Is His Majesty telling him to get lost?
The Holy Emperor awkwardly lowered his hand, feeling a headache coming on. He glared at Prime Minister Jiang and asked, "What is it?"
Prime Minister Jiang entered in a panic and bowed respectfully to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, Lin Wanwan is not dead. May I take back the silver I sent?"
"What do you think?" the Holy Emperor asked through gritted teeth.
He's already all alone, and he's still so stingy.
