Chapter 163 The Emperor's Criticism



Just when Shangguan Yu just walked to the door of the study, Shangguan Du suddenly said something.

"Yu'er, I want to remind you that there are some things you can do and some things you can't do."

"Although I am old, it does not mean that I am deaf and blind, nor does it mean that you can do whatever you want."

Shangguan Yu's heart skipped a beat. Shangguan Du had reminded him before, both explicitly and covertly, but never so directly.

Shangguan Du didn't give him a chance to refute and continued.

"You can compete with the Crown Prince, and I am more optimistic about your character."

"But you are all my sons. If you harm anyone's life, I will not be happy."

"Besides, he has made great contributions this time. If something goes wrong, the people will definitely be worried. You are too impatient."

Shangguan Yu's heart sank, and then he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Father, I have taught you. I will take my leave."

He did not explain, because he knew that the more he explained, the more suspicious Shangguan Du would become of him.

Shangguan Du saw that he had listened, so he said no more, waved his hand, and let him leave first.

Shangguan Yu had just left the imperial study when he saw Shangguan Lingyun waiting outside.

"A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, why is Prince Yu coming to the palace on the day of his wedding?"

Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Lingyun with cold eyes, and Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly.

"Why is Prince Yu looking at me like this? Could it be that he's missed me after not seeing me for so long?"

Shangguan Yu sneered, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Highness the Crown Prince has become much more shameless."

Shangguan Lingyun was not angry, but touched his cheek instead.

"Really? I think it's okay. However, I do notice that Prince Yu has become much more shameless. I guess it's because he's been embarrassed so much recently."

Shangguan Yu clenched his fists in anger when he heard this, and Shangguan Lingyun smiled evilly.

"Why, you want to fight because you can't win the argument? It just so happens that I haven't exercised for a long time. Otherwise, how about I fight you for a few moves?"

Shangguan Yu snorted coldly, "I don't have the leisure time like my elder brother. I'm leaving now."

Shangguan Lingyun raised his eyebrows, "That's right, Prince Yu has many women in his backyard, and there are many things going on."

"Then I will not disturb our Prince Yu. However, Prince Yu must take good care of his health."

Shangguan Yu's face darkened. Looking at Shangguan Lingyun's half-smile, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Shangguan Yu flicked his sleeves and left the palace, brushing past Shangguan Lingyun.

However, he did not notice that Shangguan Lingyun flicked his fingers slightly when he brushed past him.

Seeing Shangguan Yu leave, Shangguan Lingyun did not care, but turned and went to the emperor's study.

In the imperial study, Shangguan Du pinched his brows with a headache after Shangguan Yu left.

Eunuch Li glanced at Shangguan Lingyun who was walking towards him and immediately went in to report.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience."

Shangguan Du rubbed his eyebrows gently, then asked Eunuch Li to bring Shangguan Lingyun in.

"Why did the prince come here today?"

Shangguan Lingyun knelt respectfully in front of Shangguan Du and spoke in a calm voice.

"Father, I saw Prince Yu getting married today, and I had an idea in my mind. I wonder if I should tell you about it?"

When Shangguan Du heard that this matter was related to Shangguan Yu's marriage, his first thought was about Han Wenbin.

"I have already handed over Han Wenbin's matter to Prince Yu for full disposal. You don't need to ask about it."

A hint of coldness flashed across Shangguan Lingyun's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"I have also heard about Han Wenbin's affairs. I believe that Prince Yu can handle such a small matter."

"What I'm talking about is not about Han Wenbin, but about my marriage."

This time it was Guandu who was surprised.

"Marriage? Haven't you always hated women? Why are you suddenly talking about marriage again? Could it be that you already have a woman you like?"

Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and Shangguan Du sighed upon seeing this.

"You are not young anymore. As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, it is indeed time for you to get married."

"I just don't know which family's daughter you have your eyes on. Why don't you tell me so I can hear it?"

Shangguan Lingyun did not directly say Ye Xiaoxiao's name, but looked at Shangguan Du with burning eyes.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I was previously attacked by someone and had physical contact with a woman."

"As the crown prince of a country, I cannot be irresponsible."

"Therefore, I intend to find that woman and give her a title. I hope your Majesty will grant me your approval."

Shangguan Du frowned. Although Shangguan Lingyun had been ambushed before, everyone knew it, even though it was not stated explicitly.

Shangguan Du didn't expect that Shangguan Lingyun would bring up this matter again after such a long time.

"Since you are the crown prince of a country, you should know that your marriage is of great importance."

"Not every woman is qualified to be the Crown Princess, especially one with an unknown background."

"If you only want to give her a title, I won't ask, but the position of Crown Princess is not something that anyone can hold."

Shangguan Lingyun had long guessed that Shangguan Du would say this, and he had already prepared his words.

"Your Majesty, if this woman is the daughter of a court official, then may I marry her as the Crown Princess?"

Shangguan Du frowned, "The daughter of a court official? Could it be that you have already found out her identity and whereabouts?"

Shangguan Lingyun shook his head, "This son is just a guess, I haven't verified it."

"However, I know that I cannot make the decision on my marriage, so I came to ask Father first."

Shangguan Du knew that Shangguan Lingyun would not casually say something that was based on hearsay.
