Chapter 74 After the Body Was Stolen (7)
But he is not as loyal as the male protagonist, otherwise A Zi would not have married Miao Yuefeng, with whom he was in love, in the original plot, and then listened to the Virgin Mary and married her sister as well.
Prince Ling did nothing wrong from beginning to end, but he was quite pitiful. Miao Yuefeng, the woman he wanted to marry, was killed by her own sister, and he ended up marrying a saint. The palace was also messed up by the saint and her sister.
Tsk tsk!
After the court session, Hao Lingyao asked the Shangshu to go to the imperial study.
Many people were congratulating the Minister. After all, everyone knew that the Minister's eldest daughter would soon marry Prince Ling and become the princess. Now that the emperor called him into the imperial study, it could only be a good thing, not a bad thing.
The Shangshu had a smile on his face. As long as he thought about the emperor's sudden rebellion and then his sudden departure yesterday, he felt that calling him over this time might not be a good thing.
But there is no way. If the king wants his subject to die, he cannot do it. Even if he wants to die, he cannot disobey the order.
On the other side, Prince Ling was also thinking about his own marriage, and with a very simple mind, he followed the Shangshu to the Imperial Study.
Although the emperor did not ask him to go along, he was the emperor's most beloved brother, so it was okay for him to follow without permission.
After all, my royal brother loves me so much, why wouldn’t he let me go?
As a result, he was stopped outside the imperial study.
Prince Ling and the Minister were both shocked. They never expected that such a magical thing would actually happen.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Ling, but His Majesty has ordered that only the Minister of State can enter!"
Although Prince Ling has a simple personality, he will not become arrogant because of his favor. This is the secret why he has been favored by his brother, the emperor, for so many years.
He looked at the guard's embarrassed expression and confirmed that what he said was true. "Well, I won't make it difficult for you. Just don't go in!"
The guard breathed a sigh of relief. If Prince Ling really insisted on going in, he would not dare to hurt Prince Ling. No matter what happened, he would be the one to be punished.
The Minister walked in very nervously. As expected, as soon as Hao Lingyao opened his mouth, the Minister knew that his ominous premonition had come true.
"Your Majesty, this...this humble minister's eldest daughter is already engaged to Prince Ling!"
The Minister is feeling extremely uncomfortable now. It used to be such a proud thing for a family to have a daughter who would be sought after by hundreds of families, but it happened that his daughter was first favored by Prince Ling, who asked the Emperor for an imperial decree to grant her marriage, and then she was favored by the Emperor himself.
What should I do?
Hao Lingyao didn't care about the Shangshu's inner turmoil. This was the method he came up with to separate the male and female protagonists after he confirmed that Yun Nuo was by his side.
As an ancient emperor, it would have been very easy for him to break up a marriage, but the problem was that the other party was his own brother, they had a very good relationship, and the marriage was arranged by him, so he could not regret it.
However, Hao Lingyao still remembered a plot. In fact, Miao Yuefeng in the plot was unwilling to marry King Ling. After all, the original owner who was in love with King Ling was dead, and the current Miao Yuefeng had a husband and children in another world.
Moreover, as a woman in ancient times, she was the daughter of a scholar who was more demanding. She was instilled with the idea that a good woman would not marry two husbands since childhood, and she was not willing to marry King Ling at all.
Even if Prince Ling was a good man, it wouldn't work because she already had a child with her husband. In the end, it was the Shangshu's wife who used her parents' orders to get her into the bridal sedan. After she got married, she had no choice but to accept it. She comforted herself that she couldn't go back and she occupied this body, so she could only be content to be a princess.
Now Hao Lingyao's intervention is just a hint to the Shangshu. In this way, the Shangshu will find a way to stop this marriage himself, and there will be no situation in the original plot where he has to force Miao Yuefeng to get into the bridal sedan.
For the rest, it is enough to find ways to delay time, the main thing is how to take revenge.
The Minister left with an embarrassed look on his face. The Emperor had really given him a difficult problem. He didn't know what to do.
Prince Ling had been waiting outside. When he saw the Minister come out, he approached him happily and asked, "Father-in-law, what did my brother say just now?"
The Minister was worried about the marriage between his eldest daughter and Prince Ling. Now when he heard Prince Ling call him "father-in-law", he felt really excited.
"Oh, I can't bear to be called father-in-law by Your Highness. Your Highness, please don't call me like that in the future!"
The Minister was frowning, fearing that Prince Ling might turn against him after his eldest daughter entered the harem. This was truly worrying.
The Minister would not think that Prince Ling could compete with the Emperor for a woman.
Prince Ling didn't understand what the Shangshu meant at all. He thought that the other party didn't want him to call him that, so he smiled and walked away.
"What did my brother tell you?"
The Minister shook his head. What could he do about this matter? The Emperor didn't say he could tell anyone, so he could only keep the secret silently.
Seeing that the Minister was silent, Prince Ling knew that he would not speak anymore, so he ran into the imperial study and asked his brother personally.
The Minister looked at the other party who was still so happy, shook his head and left, hoping that the Emperor would not attack his own brother!
Prince Ling happily came to ask what his brother and his father-in-law had said. Hao Lingyao looked at the innocent man and said, "Just now, the Minister said that his eldest daughter is ill and needs to postpone the wedding for a while!"
Prince Ling let out a disappointed "Ah", he still liked Miao Yuefeng very much.
"Is Miss Miao sick? I'll go see her right away!"
Hao Lingyao calmly stopped the person and said, "Stop, the Minister just said that her daughter's face is covered with rashes, which is not very pretty. Girls all love beauty. If you go over and look at her like this, she won't be happy!"
The main reason why Prince Ling liked Miao Yuefeng was because she was pretty. Now when he heard that her face was covered with rashes, he imagined the scene and immediately shuddered all over.
Forget it. The other party is not good-looking now, and neither of them will be happy if they meet.
Prince Ling immediately gave up the idea of looking for the other party, even for a period of time, "Then my royal brother, how long will it take for me to get married?"
Hao Lingyao slowly put on the memorial, "About half a year!"
Prince Ling instantly became even more depressed. Miss Miao must be very ill, right?
It will take another half a year, that’s terrible!
For a moment, he felt that he didn't like the other person that much anymore. Since he had to wait half a year before getting married, he might as well find someone else.
Prince Ling seemed to have thought of someone, and then left happily.
Yun Nuo watched everything from the side. Seeing Hao Lingyao lying without blinking, it seemed... quite tempting?
