The emperor had just returned to the palace and had not had a moment to breathe when he heard that Princess Anle was asking for an audience outside.
The emperor thought that Anle missed him as her father because she hadn't seen him in the past few days. He felt very relieved and thought that his love for Anle was not in vain.
However, things went against her wishes. As soon as Princess Anle came in, she walked to the emperor's side, hugged the emperor's arm and begged, "Father, please quickly grant me and Qi Yu a marriage, otherwise Qi Yu will marry someone else."
Princess Anle was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would have been heartbroken to see his daughter like this.
But he had just experienced an assassination attempt, and his daughter was completely oblivious to the situation and only cared about her own love affairs. The emperor couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
Forget it, this is his biological daughter. It’s his only daughter after all.
"If he wants to marry someone else, let him marry someone else. Could it be that no one will want me, the royal princess, without him?" Although he comforted himself in this way, the emperor was still a little depressed in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak with some anger.
Princess Anle really cried this time, "But I like him. I have wanted to marry him since I was a child. It is clearly the emperor's wish. Why didn't he agree to my request?"
The emperor had spent half his energy in the first half of his life fighting for the throne, and the other half on governing the country. He himself had no experience of this kind of mentality of having to have someone, so upon hearing this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you like him so much, and even have to have him?"
Princess Anle was also stunned by the question. She thought for a moment and said, "Qi Yu is handsome, the purest young man I have ever seen. Everyone else flatters me, but Qi Yu is the only one who is cold to me. I think he has a noble character."
The emperor curled his lips, not really taking it seriously. "He ignores you, but you love her instead?"
The emperor was a little confused. Was his daughter seriously ill?
"Or I'll invite a royal physician for you." The emperor said after thinking for a while.
Princess Anle was furious. She stamped her feet and said, "Father, I am not sick."
"I just like him. I'm so upset that I can't have him. I can't wait even a moment longer when I think about him marrying another woman. When I see him liking someone else, I want to tear that person to pieces."
"I just can't live without him. Can you understand me?"
If this had been said in the past, the emperor might not have understood it.
After all, in his opinion, he is just a man, and she can't live without him?
But now, the emperor couldn't help but think of Jiang Yi.
He wanted to win Jiang Yi's heart just as much as Anle did. When he thought that Jiang Yi liked Qi Yu and would even marry Qi Yu, he wanted to kill Qi Yu.
The emperor nodded and said, "I think I understand a little bit, but I think Qi Yu might not be a good person."
Hearing the emperor say bad things about Qi Yu, Princess Anle pouted unhappily, "Qi Yu is the best person in the world. Father, you are not allowed to say bad things about him."
"But if you really like it, I can't refuse your wish," the emperor said again.
He was thinking in his mind that in this way, not only would Anle get what she wanted, but Qi Yu would also marry the princess, and Jiang Yi would give up on Qi Yu. This would give him a chance, and he would also get what he wanted.
The slight unhappiness in my heart disappeared.
When Princess Anle saw that the emperor had agreed to her request, she was immediately overjoyed, "Father, you are so kind to me."
The emperor said, "You are my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well? But you are such a heartless little thing. You have forgotten me since you have a lover."
Princess Anle said, "Father is the best person in the world to me. How could I forget him? It's just that I heard Qi Yu was making a fuss about marrying the concubine's daughter from my aunt's house, and I was anxious for the moment."
The emperor said, "I'd be surprised if I believed your lies."
"Father, how can you say this to me?" Princess Anle, still worried that things might change, urged the emperor, "Then please issue an order now."
In fact, Princess Anle didn't need to say it, the emperor himself was also anxious.
He was also afraid that Qi Yu would really ask for consent from the Chengguo Mansion and marry Jiang Yi.
"Wait, I will summon Qi Yu to the palace. I want him to marry you willingly." The emperor made a promise, and Princess Anle jumped up happily. "Should I wait here or should I withdraw first?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Wait here, but you go to the back first."
Princess Anle went to the inner hall obediently.
After a while, Qi Yu came over.
Qi Yu is eighteen years old this year. He is the prince of Duke Chengguo's Mansion and often goes to the palace, so the emperor still has an impression of him.
This man had a good appearance, and because Princess Anle often asked him to marry, the emperor instinctively disliked him.
Now that Jiang Yi also likes Qi Yu, the emperor thinks Qi Yu is even worse.
He's just an embroidered pillow, I don't know what they like about him.
"Qi Yu, do you admit your guilt?" The emperor's majestic voice rang out above the hall, leaving Qi Yu quite bewildered.
Qi Yu said: "Please let the emperor know clearly."
"You are so bold that you secretly bewitched my princess, and now you are pretending to be ignorant. Do you know that because of you, I and Anle, father and daughter, almost fell out?" The emperor said solemnly: "Qi Yu, do you have Anle in your heart? Do you love Anle?"
Qi Yu lowered his head as low as he could, "I have no other thoughts about the princess."
Perhaps others would be attracted by the identity of a princess, but Qi Yu was born in a noble family and he would inherit the Duke of Cheng's Mansion in the future. A princess really could not make him excited, not to mention that this princess was domineering and would execute palace maids at will.
