Chapter 490: Asking for Marriage in the Golden Palace
After Su Yue left, the eldest prince was dragged by Mo Jingchen and searched outside for almost a whole day. They basically searched every house, and only stopped regretfully when it was dark.
Mo Jingsheng returned to the eldest prince's mansion with a gloomy face. It was obvious that what happened during the day made him very annoyed.
"What! There's a strange doctor in the Prince's Mansion, and he left this morning?" Hearing his concubine say this, Mo Jingsheng, who had just taken a sip of tea, became so angry that he crushed the cup in his hand.
"Calm down, Prince." Seeing this, Lin Zhi hurriedly knelt on the ground and whispered to comfort him.
Upon seeing this, the other servants also hurriedly knelt down, fearing that the eldest prince's anger would be vented on them.
"It's been a whole day. It's impossible to catch up even if we want to." The eldest prince looked at the servants kneeling on the ground and said in a low voice.
"Does the eldest prince have any other plans? I will definitely do my best to help if I can."
When Lin Zhi heard the eldest prince say this, she quickly expressed her opinion.
"You are fine." The eldest prince looked at Lin Zhi and finally said this quietly.
Three days later, Su Yue, Yun Ye and others finally arrived in Dongyou.
When they were outside Dongyou City, Yao Wang and his group said goodbye to Su Yue and headed towards Yaowang Valley.
After this incident, Yaowang Valley became more strict with its disciples, and even added a moral assessment to the process of accepting disciples.
Besides, in the Golden Palace, since the emperor is bedridden, Shangguan Nanxing is basically in charge of government affairs.
"Are you the third prince of the Mo Kingdom?" Shangguan Nanxing looked at His Highness Yun Ye and asked.
"Your Highness, that's right." Yun Ye raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant.
General Chen, who was standing by, felt mixed emotions when he saw Yun Ye's current state.
He used to think that Yun Ye was just bragging to save face, saying that he was the prince of the Mo Kingdom, but now it seems to be true.
However, during this period of time, he did a lot of things to force Wanwan to give up Yunye.
Thinking of this, Commandant Chen's expression suddenly turned grim.
"This prince hopes that you can behave yourself in Dongyou and not be like the Fourth Prince. You should know from the Fourth Prince's experience that we in Dongyou cannot be manipulated at will. Do you understand?"
Although Shangguan Nanxing understood Yun Ye, he still had to say some polite words.
"In reply to your Highness the Crown Prince, I understand." Upon hearing this, Yun Ye bowed slightly and saluted.
"Well, that's good. The Third Prince has been traveling a long way. This Crown Prince will follow the wishes of the Emperor and reward the Third Prince with a house. I hope that the Third Prince can feel like he is in the Desert Kingdom while in Dongyou."
Shangguan Nanxing said this and glanced at the other ministers. Seeing that none of them had any special expressions, he looked at Yun Ye again.
"Your Highness, I can abide by the rules for the sake of peace between our two countries, but I have a request."
Just when everyone thought nothing was wrong, Yun Ye suddenly spoke again.
"What do you request?" Shangguan Nanxing looked at Yun Ye after hearing this.
"I and Chen Wanwan, the daughter of Commandant Chen, fell in love by chance. I beg His Royal Highness to tell the Emperor and ask him to grant us marriage."
When Yun Ye said this, he, who had been standing straight, knelt down directly on the Golden Throne Hall.
Upon hearing this, the other ministers in the court all looked at General Chen. It turned out that General Chen's daughter had some connection with the third prince of the Mo Kingdom. Judging from General Chen's expression, it seemed that there were a lot of twists and turns involved.
"I will inform my father of the Third Prince's request."
Seeing Yun Ye like this, Shangguan Nanxing nodded slightly and agreed.
"Captain Chen, what do you think of this marriage for the sake of peace between our two countries?"
Shangguan Nanxing, who had just agreed to Yun Ye, turned around and looked at General Chen and asked loudly.
"This... Your Highness, the marriage between the Fourth Prince and the Princess was also for the sake of peace between the two countries, but the Fourth Prince later..."
Commander Chen hesitated, but still expressed his concerns.
The reason why the Fourth Prince of Mo Kingdom did not implicate Princess Fuping even though he committed such a serious crime was because the Princess was the daughter of the Emperor. If the Third Prince followed the old path of the Fourth Prince Mo Jingxuan, his Wanwan would be no more than the daughter of the Grand Marshal, and she would definitely not be able to escape.
"The commander's concerns do make sense. What do you think, Third Prince?"
After listening to this, Shangguan Nanxing nodded to General Chen. Although he knew that Yun Ye would never do the same thing as Mo Jingxuan, the officials in the court did not understand this. So in the minds of these officials, what General Chen said made sense.
Marrying a princess would be a crime, let alone the daughter of a mere general.
“I understand the commander’s concerns. I can promise the prince that if the emperor agrees to my marriage with Chen Wanwan, he will reward me with the prince’s mansion. No one I bring with me will be left behind. The guards, servants and maids will all be decided by the emperor.
If the Grand Marshal is still worried, I can marry into his family's household and bring only gold, silver and treasures, without any soldiers. ”
Yun Ye heard what Captain Chen said, but he did not feel angry. On the contrary, the captain's questioning made him fully express his determination to marry Chen Wanwan.
"The Third Prince is deeply in love with Chen Wanwan. Which of these two do you think is better?"
Shangguan Nanxing was quite satisfied after hearing Yun Ye's words. Then he turned to the general and continued asking questions.
"It's all up to the Emperor." How could Commandant Chen not understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was asking which of the two options was better, which meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had definitely agreed to the marriage.
Since the Crown Prince agrees, the Emperor will certainly not refuse. My opinion as a lieutenant is of little reference value.
However, Yun Ye was so thorough in his efforts to marry Wan Wan, so we still have to wait and see whether his feelings were true or not.
As a great general, he always uses others as stepping stones. If Yun Ye has bad intentions and wants to use him as a stepping stone, then we have to see if he has the ability to do so.
Thinking of this, Captain Chen looked up at Yun Ye who was not far away, and happened to meet Yun Ye's eyes. Then Yun Ye smiled at him.
He has fulfilled the agreement with General Chen. If General Chen causes any trouble again, Shangguan Nanxing will have to suppress it.
After the court session, when all the officials left the hall, General Chen kept frowning.
"Your Excellency." Yun Ye was not worried about moving into the prince's mansion. The person he wanted to see urgently now was Wan Wan. It seemed like they had been separated for a very long time.
"What's the matter, Third Prince?" General Chen heard a familiar voice behind him, gave a very forced smile, and turned around to ask respectfully.
Although Yun Ye came to Dongyou as a hostage, he was a prince recognized by the Mo Kingdom after all. As a general, he still had to observe proper etiquette.
"You don't have to be so polite, Commander. I would like to go with you to your residence to visit Miss Wanwan. Is that okay?"
Yun Ye walked quickly forward and walked side by side with General Chen. Seeing this, many court officials just glanced at him secretly and then turned away. As for what those people were thinking, no one knew.
"The Third Prince hasn't moved into the new palace yet. Doesn't he need to go and see it in person?"
Upon hearing this, Commandant Chen looked at Yun Ye and asked loudly.
"It's just a place to sleep and live. I don't care about it. Leave it to Dongyou's people. I trust them."
Yun Ye smiled gently, and his words revealed his attitude towards Dong You.
"Since the Third Prince said so, then the Third Prince should go back with me."
When Commandant Chen heard Yun Ye say this, he could understand what Yun Ye meant. He was clearly expressing his attitude to him.
"General, I wonder if my current status qualifies me to marry into the General's Mansion?
If not, I brought enough gold and silver from the Mo Kingdom as a betrothal gift to buy a city. The richest man before didn't have such a large sum of money as me. ”
In the carriage, Yun Ye, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly spoke and looked at General Chen.
"Yun Ye, I hope you really want to marry Wan Wan. She is the apple of my eye. The Fourth Prince made a terrible mistake but the princess was fine because she is the Emperor's daughter.
But Wanwan is different. She is just the daughter of me, the Grand Marshal. If she marries you, your lives will be tied together. I don’t want anything to happen to Wanwan.
As far as I know, the emperor of Mo Kingdom is not a man who would keep quiet. I don't know whether you have been secretly instructed by the emperor of Mo Kingdom to come here this time, or whether he wants you to do something treasonous.
I just hope that you will think about Wanwan before doing anything. ”
After thinking for some time, General Chen finally spoke out his true feelings in the carriage.
Just now in the Golden Palace, the prince's intention was very clear. It seemed that Wanwan had to get married. He now only hoped that Yun Ye in front of him could be more sensible.
"Don't worry, General. Yun Ye will keep your teachings in mind." After hearing what General Chen said, Yun Ye also became serious and made a promise.
"Hey, it would be good if you go see Wanwan. I've been doing this for no reason these days."
Commandant Chen met Yun Ye's eyes and was relieved when he saw that he did not seem to be lying.
"What's wrong with Wanwan?" Yun Ye's face suddenly changed when he heard this. From what the general said, it seemed that Wanwan was not doing well, but in their previous correspondence, Wanwan's words were very normal.
"Go and have a look, and you'll know then."
General Chen did not answer, but said this.
