Xie Zhixuan said, "If you hadn't postponed punishing Fu Ming because of the wedding, the Lu family wouldn't have risked the execution of all nine generations of their clan. Just let them off lightly this time."
Zhao Yun frowned.
His Majesty said, "As you wish, I will let the Lu family off lightly this time. When you come to court the day after tomorrow regarding the crimes committed by Fu Ming, you, Yan'er, will impeach him. I will hand this matter over to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation and will not cover up any wrongdoing."
Zhao Yun said slowly, "Father, I would like to ask you to revoke your decree granting Fu Qianran the title of Crown Princess. Her clothes were just torn to shreds by those unruly people. She is truly unworthy of being the Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye frowned angrily. She had just thought that Zhao Yun didn't want Fu Qianran to be the Crown Princess because Fu Qianran's brother had done such a bad thing and Fu Qianran was implicated.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yun's clothes would be torn because of Fu Qianran? Did he lose the face of the Crown Princess?
Yun Xiangye, regardless of her fear for His Majesty, spoke up, "Although the outer garment was torn, it was a woman who tore it, and nothing was exposed..."
Zhao Yun said, "That's also because the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace shouldn't lose face by being disheveled in front of common people."
"Are you marrying a wife or a vase just for display?" Yun Xiangye couldn't help but ask, "Even if it's just a vase, you can't just reject it if it has a little flaw?"
Gu Yan hurriedly pulled Yun Xiangye's sleeve.
The Empress, who was sitting next to His Majesty, smiled faintly and said, "Yan'er, you don't have to stop Xiangye."
The Queen looked at Zhao Yun again and said, "Yun'er, what Xiangye said is correct. You married your wife. Although Fu Mingsheng committed a crime, Qianran is innocent. Although Fu Mingsheng is Qianran's biological brother, his crime is not enough to implicate his family.
Now that the wedding date has been set, how can you just withdraw the imperial decree granting you the title of Crown Princess? All the foreign vassal states have come to Chang'an to celebrate your wedding. If they arrive and say you won't get married, Dasheng can't afford such a loss of face."
