Emperor Jing did not reply for a moment.
It's hard to guess what he's thinking.
In fact, even if she didn't want to do it, she had lost her virginity after all, and she was no longer innocent.
It's better for her to take the initiative and ask for it than to be divorced later.
Almost most people think so.
After a while, Emperor Jing said, "I can allow you to move out of the general's mansion temporarily." After all, it would not be good for the general's mansion if she was found out to be illegitimate in public and still lived in the general's mansion.
"But regarding the cancellation of your engagement with the Regent..."
"Your Majesty, although I am a woman, I know that if I don't cancel this engagement, I will be laughed at when the foreign minister comes to the court next month. The regent of Dajing is about to marry an unclean woman. Your Majesty, what the Grand Tutor said before is right. Please think about Dajing's reputation, Your Majesty!"
Although the old tutor who was named had not yet fully recovered, he spoke instinctively at this moment, "Miss Ling San is right. Your Majesty, I also think that this engagement must be cancelled!"
Emperor Jing looked at the other courtiers and asked, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"
The court officials either bowed their heads and kept silent, or asked each other what they thought.
Emperor Jing directly called out, "Lord Wang, you are also involved today. What is your opinion?"
The Minister of Justice Wang, who was named, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any special opinions on these things. In my mind, apart from solving the case, I still want to solve the case."
Emperor Jing looked at Mu Qing's father again, "Lord Mu, what do you think?"
Minister Mu said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, regarding matters between men and women, and the deep feelings between young men and women, I have always believed that mutual consent is the most appropriate."
Emperor Jing cursed them both in his heart.
Who the hell said that those three guys in the Ministry of Justice only have cases in their heads and can't think flexibly. They are smarter than anyone else, okay? It sounds like that, but it's useless! There is no bias at all!
The court officials followed suit and all played Tai Chi to Emperor Jing. Except for the old Taifu, who stood firm and clear, no one else said whether it was better to remove the order or not.
Baili Feiyue also cursed this group of ministers in his heart.
Damn, are you so afraid of Changsun Wuji?
Is it so difficult to speak up when it involves Changsun Wuji?
Do they have any bones left?
Emperor Jing clearly wanted to hear them say "cancel the engagement"! Do these people have any ability to guess the emperor's mind?
No, it’s not that they don’t have it, they just want to play the mediator between Zhangsun Wuji and Emperor Jing and survive in the cracks!
Although Emperor Jing's expression did not change, there was a dark gloom in the depths of his eyes. He looked at Ling Sheng and said, "General, this is about your daughter after all. What is your opinion?"
Ling Sheng looked towards Baili Feiyue and met Baili Feiyue's gaze.
There seemed to be a lot of things in the eyes of the father and daughter, and yet there seemed to be nothing.
"I think it is better to cancel it."
Emperor Jing breathed a sigh of relief. But two people alone were not enough, even though they were both important. He also needed the absolute persistence of Baili Feiyue, the person involved.
Baili Feiyue was very understanding. "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Now, my father also thinks it's better to cancel it. Your Majesty is the monarch of a country, and you are the elder brother of His Royal Highness the Regent. No matter what, you can make the decision for His Royal Highness the Regent's marriage. Now I really don't dare to marry His Royal Highness the Regent, and I am not worthy of His Royal Highness the Regent. I beg Your Majesty to think twice and cancel this engagement!"
Are you satisfied? This black-hearted emperor always asks others to be the bad guys!
She just didn't believe that Emperor Jing would want the regent Zhangsun Wuji to marry the general Ling Sheng!
As for Ling Ruolan, the young ladies who surrounded her still did not leave her side even though the incident between Li and Ling Yanran happened.
In fact, after hearing Baili Feiyue's initiative to cancel the engagement, some people gnashed their teeth and whispered, "Ruolan, you, a concubine's sister, still have some self-awareness."
Another person took over the conversation, "That's right, you still know that you are not clean and are not worthy of His Royal Highness the Regent."
Ling Ruolan looked normal, as if the people who had just experienced one jaw-dropping conspiracy after another were not the General's Mansion or her relatives.
Baili Feiyue didn't care what people around her thought. Deep down, she thought that if she persisted, the engagement could be canceled successfully.
So she repeated, "Your Majesty, I sincerely beg Your Majesty to cancel my engagement with His Royal Highness the Regent."
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed, "Now that things have come to this, Ling Jing, your engagement with the Regent will be cancelled. I will issue an edict shortly..."
Before he finished speaking, a man's charming and low voice came, "Why don't you ask this king first?"
This sound!
Emperor Jingdi stiffened slightly.
If even Emperor Jing is like this, there is no need to mention the others present.
The man wearing a mask and a black robe was stepping into the garden entrance, and behind him were two neat teams of Jinyiwei! Each of the dozens of Jinyiwei was holding a box.
It appeared in everyone's sight with great momentum.
There were all kinds of people coming to celebrate the birthday today, and half of them had never seen the rumored regent, so they almost subconsciously felt weak in their legs, and they really did.
Changsun Wuji first walked up to Ling Sheng, who had been so quiet that he could not show any emotion. "It's General Ling's birthday. I rushed back to the capital, but I'm still a little late. I hope General Ling won't dislike me for being late."
Ling Sheng raised his eyes, his eyes were deep, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I am flattered."
"How can I be flattered? In the near future, I will have to respectfully address the general as 'Father-in-law'."
"I dare not."
Don't you dare? Changsun Wuji looked at Ling Sheng with purple eyes under the mask and smiled meaningfully.
With a slight wave of his hand, the Jinyiwei holding the boxes handed all the boxes to the steward who was receiving the gifts.
There was no name given, but when the steward opened two of the boxes, even though he was knowledgeable, he gasped and his eyelids twitched.
This…this…
I've seen so many birthday gifts today, but I'm afraid that the things in any one of these boxes might not be as valuable and precious as all of them combined!
The steward swallowed his saliva with a dry throat, and everything he touched felt hot. He was a well-mannered steward of the general's mansion, but at this moment, he looked at Ling Sheng subconsciously like a steward of a small family who couldn't make up his mind when faced with problems.
Ling Sheng said calmly, "Since it was given by the prince, you should keep it well."
"Yes, sir." The steward didn't dare to let the servants come. Even though the servants were well-trained, he was afraid that one of them would not hold it firmly and might drop it or bump into something...
Zhang Sun Wuji greeted the birthday boy and gave him a birthday gift before walking towards Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing said, "Ninth brother, regarding the engagement..."
"I do not agree."
Those present were not very surprised by his words, and they could guess a bit of his attitude from what he said to Ling Sheng.
Emperor Jing had a troubled look on his face. "Ninth brother, there are some things you don't understand..."
"Oh? What is it that I don't understand?" Changsun Wuji's voice was filled with interest.
