"Do you want the Black Armor Guards to take over the investigation of the Shen family case?" Emperor Wenyuan raised his eyebrows.
At this time, Mo Junran had taken off the human skin mask on his face.
Revealing that handsome and indifferent face.
His eyes were deep and cold, and his voice was calm: "Not the Black Armor Guard."
He paused and said, "It's the Seventeenth Uncle, Mo Junran, who returned from the Imperial Temple. He wants to take over the Shen family case."
Emperor Wenyuan was slightly stunned, then said with great joy, "You, young man, have finally agreed to come back? If so, then you can choose a princess and I will send the imperial decree granting the marriage to the imperial temple together. Your return will then be much more logical."
"Your Majesty, I will choose my own marriage!" Mo Junran did not avoid this question this time.
But the calm expression in his eyes made Emperor Wenyuan not quite believe it.
Finally, it was Queen Mother Bai who spoke up to help: "Alright, let Seventeen choose his own marriage. This child has had a hard life since childhood, so just follow his wishes."
Emperor Wenyuan was about to say something when Empress Dowager Bai said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the proposal I made earlier in front of Dengwen Tower about taking the girl from the Yang family as your goddaughter?"
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned.
Then his face darkened slightly as he said, "Mother, this is against the rules. How can a monarch adopt the daughter of a minister as his goddaughter? Doesn't this disrupt the ancestral rules?"
Empress Dowager Bai said, "Your Majesty is the one who makes the rules. She's just a foster daughter, and it doesn't violate the ancestral rules. I really like that girl and just want a lovely and beautiful granddaughter."
The corners of Emperor Wenyuan's mouth twitched slightly.
I really want to let the concubines in the harem give birth to a bunch of little princesses, but when I think of my own string of sons——
"Your Majesty, this is indeed against the rules."
At this time, Mo Junran spoke lightly.
When Emperor Wenyuan heard this, he immediately said happily: "Yes, mother, A'ran also said that this is against the rules. If you really like a granddaughter, I will adopt a girl from the clan." Yang Zhao was already twenty-one years old, so how could she be cute?
If I were to take her as my concubine, it would be fine...
"Why not confer the title of county lord first?" Mo Junran said at this time.
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned.
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Bai said reluctantly, "County Princess? Isn't that a bit too low? After all, that girl is still 'Duke Yang of Qi'! She should be at least Princess!"
"Your Majesty, I really like this girl. Since you don't want to adopt her as your goddaughter, why don't you make her a princess?" Empress Dowager Bai looked at Emperor Wenyuan and asked kindly.
Emperor Wenyuan almost choked.
What's the difference between a goddaughter and a princess?
I really can't understand why my mother, who has not been involved in affairs for a long time, suddenly became so stubborn in supporting Yang Zhao.
Although that girl Yang Zhao... was indeed beyond his expectations.
But the final result.
It was also an imperial decree to annul the engagement, and another to confer the title of Princess of Qiyang County on Yang Zhao...
As a result, the thought that had flashed through Emperor Wenyuan's mind about taking Yang Zhao as his concubine was temporarily dispelled.
On the way back to Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Bai was supported by Mo Junran.
The eunuchs and palace maids behind him followed from a distance. Empress Dowager Bai turned her head and looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Mo Junran's face was covered with a human skin mask.
After all, the seventeenth uncle is still in the imperial temple to become a monk in place of his brother, and his true appearance cannot be revealed to the world yet.
Hearing Empress Dowager Bai's question, the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What are you going to do next? Do you still need my help?" Queen Mother Bai asked with a smile, squinting her eyes.
