The emperor gets a headache when he sees these two people. If you want to refuse the marriage, then refuse it. If you want to propose marriage, then propose marriage. The emperor is unhappy.
"In that case, let Princess Mingyue and Miss Song make the choice. Before the Princess and Miss Song come, you should kneel down in the hall and reflect on your actions."
The emperor left immediately after he finished speaking, leaving a group of people looking at each other. Eunuch Lin immediately announced the adjournment of the court. Other ministers did not dare to stay and watch the fun, and quickly withdrew. Only a few people related to the person involved stayed.
"Lord Song, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this to happen." Mousse apologized to Lord Song first. He didn't expect that his son liked Princess Mingyue.
Lord Song was very embarrassed, "Second Master, let's not talk about what happened before. Yan'er was also wrong."
"What are you two talking about? From what you said, it seems that your two families had intended to get married." King Zhenshan understood the meaning of the conversation after listening to it.
Mousse nodded. This was an agreement between my wife and Mrs. Song. Siqing and Yanran were still unaware of it.
"If I had known that the Second Young Master liked my Mingyue, why would I have asked the Emperor to grant us a marriage? Now that this matter has become a big deal, I'll go and urge the Emperor." Prince Zhenshan actually wanted to gossip a little. He was very curious about when his daughter met the Young Master of the Mu family.
"Brother, Lord Song, let's go and take a look too." Mousse was also a person who liked to watch the fun and take care of things. He called Mu Shi and Lord Song to follow King Zhenshan to the back to find the emperor.
Lord Song pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground hesitantly and said, "What about them?"
"Kneel down first and wait for the princess and Yanran to recognize you. If they like you, then everyone will be happy. If they don't like you, just kneel down for a while. You dare to refuse the emperor's marriage and snatch it away. You are still too young."
Seeing that Lord Song was in a dilemma, Mousse pulled him away. As for the fact that his own son was still kneeling in the hall, it didn't matter to him. He was kneeling for his future wife anyway. If he couldn't even endure this little hardship, how could he marry Princess Mingyue?
The two men kneeling on the ground did not regret anything at all. It was worth kneeling for a while if they could marry the woman of their dreams.
"Brother Han, thank you for your help!"
"Brother Mu, thank you for your help!"
Han Xu and Mu Siqing were both very grateful to each other. If Han Xu had any selfish thoughts and agreed to the arranged marriage, Mu Siqing would lose Yue'er. Similarly, if Mu Siqing was not brave enough to ask for Princess Mingyue's hand in marriage, he would have to marry Song Yanran, and neither of them would be able to marry the woman they liked.
In the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, just let them kneel for a while. The second young master Mu is also good, and I like him too." Prince Zhenshan also likes Mu Siqing very much. The most important thing is that he truly loves his daughter, and he likes this kind of son-in-law.
"You don't even know Mingyue's situation, yet you come to ask me to grant you a marriage. What if Mingyue gets angry with me?" The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to the unreliable King Zhenshan. He was only worried about whether his niece would be angry with him.
"Mingyue didn't tell me either." King Zhenshan said a little guiltily.
"You...and you, you didn't even know that my son likes my Mingyue." After complaining about King Zhenshan, the emperor started scolding Mousse.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am truly innocent!" Mousse was truly clueless.
"And you, you didn't even know that your daughter saved someone's mother." Lord Song was also scolded. Apart from admitting his mistake, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, he really didn't know anything. However, he was very satisfied with Han Xu, his future son-in-law.
"As far as I know, Second Master Mu was rescued by Lord Mingyue a few years ago, and they are both looking for each other. Master Han and Miss Song are also in love with each other. Master Han should be planning to propose marriage after he passes the imperial examination, but he didn't expect that the emperor would get there first."
Wen Jing, who had been silent, explained it to everyone. Then the emperor's face became even darker, and this time he glared at King Zhenshan fiercely.
Prince Zhenshan also looked aggrieved. He didn't know why the emperor was glaring at him. He was already miserable enough after making such a mistake. He didn't know how the princess would deal with him when he returned home today.
The emperor was now extremely upset. What would he say to his niece when she came? He said to the eunuch Lin beside him, "Hurry up and send a thicker cushion to the No. 1 and No. 3 candidates. The ground is cold."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Eunuch Lin received the order and ran out quickly.
On the Queen's side, Jun Mingyue and Song Yanran had already entered the palace. When they learned the reason why they were called, they were very surprised.
"Aunt Imperial, why did the Imperial Uncle give me a marriage?" Jun Mingyue felt that the Imperial Uncle would not give her a marriage for no reason. Something must have happened.
"Princess, I know about this. It was Prince Zhenshan who came to the palace early in the morning to ask the emperor to grant you and the number one scholar a marriage. At that time, the emperor asked Prince Zhenshan whether the princess knew about it. Prince Zhenshan said that the princess liked Han the number one scholar." Concubine Li told Princess Mingyue everything she had heard.
Princess Mingyue was very angry. Shu'er said that she would soon find Mr. Qing, so how could she possibly marry the top scholar? Her father was really becoming more and more ridiculous.
"Mingyue, Mr. Han is also very brave. He rejected the emperor's idea of marriage on the spot and directly proposed to Miss Song." The queen looked at Jun Mingyue and Song Yanran with a smile.
During the time they entered the palace, Murong Shu had already explained the story between the four people to the Queen and Concubine Li. Song Yanran blushed when she heard this.
"Young Master Han and Yanran are a perfect match. Young Master Han and I have no interest in each other. Why don't you just give them a marriage? Why do you want me to enter the palace?" Jun Mingyue felt that her father and uncle were getting closer and closer...
"Your Highness, you don't know that the second son of the Mu family wants to marry you." Seeing that Princess Mingyue didn't understand why she came to the palace, Concubine Li added another sentence.
"I haven't even met Second Young Master Mu, why is he asking to marry me?" Jun Mingyue was very puzzled. What kind of strange day was today?
"Princess, we don't know either, so the emperor gave the decision-making power to you and Miss Song. Why don't you go to the main hall and take a look. They are still kneeling there. The emperor said that they can only stand up if you choose them."
The Queen Mother tried hard to hold back her smile and explained to Mingyue and Song Yanran. Sure enough, Song Yanran's face turned pale. She liked Han Xu, but she didn't expect Han Xu to refuse the Emperor's marriage proposal for her.
"Empress, Yanran wants to go to the main hall to take a look!" After a brief hesitation, Song Yanran decided to face her true feelings bravely.
"Is Mingyue going?" Concubine Li asked curiously.
"Yanran, I know the way. I'll take you there. You and Young Master Han are interested in each other, so don't miss each other. To prevent the emperor's uncle from making random arrangements, I'll go with you."
Jun Mingyue was worried that the emperor's uncle would make things difficult for Han Xu and Song Yanran, so she planned to go to the palace with Song Yanran and tell the second young master Mu that she had a lover and would not agree to his proposal.
