When they left the main hall and arrived at the side hall where Linghu Lan lived, Li Ye could no longer contain himself. The joy of the young man emanated from his eyes, eyebrows, lips, and every movement of his body.
"Lan'er, are you happy? Father has granted permission. From now on, we can be together every day and watch the stars without any worries."
Linghu Lan was both amused and exasperated. "You don't want to sleep with your sister, you only want to watch the stars with her. This is intolerable!"
Li Ye was overjoyed for a long time before calming down and carefully looking at Linghu Lan's beautiful face.
Linghu Lan laughed and said, "Haven't you seen enough?"
"How can I ever get enough of you? Even if I spend this lifetime, or two lifetimes, I still won't be able to get enough of you, Lan'er. I really want to stay with you like this for all eternity."
Linghu Lan's heart skipped a beat. She smiled but didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Did you and Abbot Qi present the medicine to His Majesty today?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "The medicine has already been presented. The imperial physician will need to examine it to see if it is safe to take."
"Hmm!" Linghu Lan nodded.
Having met the old emperor today, although she couldn't directly see whether there was any dark aura on the emperor's head like Qin Ya could, she could tell that although the emperor was well-maintained, his spirit was scattered, and he was easily fatigued. There was a faint dark spot between his eyebrows, which probably indicated that he didn't sleep well.
In the story, the emperor also fell ill and died not long after. He was able to come here today, probably because he was struggling with his illness.
It seems that he does indeed have feelings for Li Ye.
Thinking of this, Linghu Lan sighed silently. Although she had the Life-Extending Pill, she did not intend to save the emperor now.
Let's wait and see!
The two stayed in the room for a while longer, and then they heard an old woman coughing incessantly outside.
Li Ye blushed slightly and quickly said goodbye to Linghu Lan before leaving.
He walked a few steps, then ran back and said with a smile, "Wait for me tomorrow, I'll take you boating on the Imperial Lake in the palace, to see the lotus flowers and pick lotus pods."
"Alright!" Linghu Lan chuckled.
This young man, living in the palace, is able to remain untainted by the mud; how wonderful!
After Li Ye left, Linghu Lan pondered silently for a while before falling asleep.
Nothing was said that night.
the next day.
After breakfast, a eunuch came to deliver the imperial decree that the emperor had granted the marriage.
Linghu Lan accepted the imperial decree.
Not long after she put the imperial edict away, Li Ye arrived happily. They read the edict together, and after a moment of joy, they took Linghu Lan boating to see the lotus flowers.
Consort Hongfei let it be, finding it quite strange that the two of them had never quarreled.
He was very pleased with Linghu Lan and ordered someone to ask the Imperial Observatory for several auspicious days for marriage. He then set their wedding date for three months later.
The prince's wedding was a major event, requiring a great deal of preparation. However, since Linghu Lan had no family members, it saved her a lot of trouble.
Linghu Lan and Li Ye lived their carefree lives in the palace.
Since the people in the capital learned that Li Ye was going to marry a commoner woman, many people have lowered their guard against him.
When they learned that Li Ye was playing and frolicking with his future wife in the palace every day without restraint, they all frowned. Beauty is a curse!
Even the crown prince was puzzled when he heard this news.
Consort Hongfei was too favored, and he always regarded Li Ye as a formidable rival, fearing that one day Li Ye would grow up and become a threat to him. Unexpectedly, Li Ye did not seem to want to be his enemy.
