Under the surprised and doubtful eyes of the crowd, Wu Yunran made up her mind and looked at Prince Ji and said, "This servant wants to be Prince Ji's concubine."
Wow——
Wu Yunran's words were like waves stirred up in a calm lake. Everyone was shocked and looked at Wu Yunran with incredible expressions.
Why would this girl from the Wu family choose Prince Duan instead of Prince Ji, who is the most idle and has the least chance of sitting on the throne?
After all, Prince Ji was known for not being interested in the court. His greatest pleasure was to recite poems and songs, and to listen to music and watch plays with Princess Ji.
Even when Prince Yu Ye Yuqing and Prince Duan Ye Changyou were fighting the most fiercely last year, Prince Ji did not get involved at all.
In short, Prince Ji gives people the impression of being an idle prince who only wants to guard the little piece of land he shares with Princess Ji.
Wu Yunran is the daughter that the Wu family has focused on training. No matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that she would marry someone like Prince Ji as a concubine.
Besides, with the way Prince Ji and Princess Ji treat each other as equals, could they really allow someone like Wu Yunran to interfere?
Perhaps sensing everyone's confusion, Wu Yunran straightened her back, left her seat, walked to the center, and knelt before Ye Kunlin. "I see that Prince Ji truly loves Princess Ji, and I'm filled with longing for her. I beg Your Majesty to fulfill my heartfelt wish."
Everyone: "..." This reason... seems reasonable.
However, Su Liyue looked at Wu Yunran with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
No matter whether others believed Wu Yunran's words or not, she didn't believe them at all.
Just because someone else is in a good relationship, you want to marry them. Is it possible that someone else's feelings will fall on you? Even if they do, what's the point of a man who is so easily moved by others? Unless Wu Yunran is a complete love-brained person.
How could a daughter raised by an aristocratic family be so obsessed with love? That was impossible.
When Su Liyue thought so, her eyes subconsciously fell on Prince Ji Ye Ruihua and Princess Qi Siya, but she saw that Ye Ruihua was frowning at the moment, looking at Princess Ji with some worry, as if he was worried that Princess Ji would think too much.
However, Princess Ji Qi Siya looked very calm, as if Wu Yunran was not trying to steal her husband.
In addition to Su Liyue, many people also looked at Qi Siya, and even some women looked at Qi Siya with sympathy and gloating in their eyes.
After all, looking across the entire capital, which man doesn’t take a concubine?
Qi Siya was the only one who was favored by Prince Ji. Although she had not given birth to any children in the past few years, she still did not take a concubine. I don't know how many people envied her and how many people were jealous of her.
So, why is Qi Siya so lucky?
With this mentality, many women looked at Qi Siya with the mood of watching a good show.
Ye Kunlin's gaze also shifted to Qi Siya. His face was solemn, showing no emotion. He only asked in a deep voice, "Princess Ji, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Siya stood up immediately. As usual, her face was calm and demure. "Everything is entirely up to the prince."
Prince Ji immediately stood up and said, "Father, I just want to live like a normal married couple with the princess."
Ye Ruihua's statement made some of the jealous women even more jealous.
How come they didn’t meet such a good man?
Ye Kunlin looked at Ye Ruihua, as if trying to figure out whether what he said was true or false.
But soon, Ye Kunlin withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you all sit down first. I will make the decision."
Ye Ruihua finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and pulled Qi Siya to sit down with a relaxed look on his face.
Empress Xie and Ye Changyou's faces turned pale.
Wu Yunran's sudden betrayal made them feel as if they had been slapped in the face, and it hurt so much.
Ye Changyou was even more furious and wanted to kill Wu Yunran.
That bitch would rather choose the useless Prince Ji than be her concubine. Why on earth did that happen?
Ye Changyou even thought that after this palace banquet, he would definitely ruin Wu Yunran's reputation and make her beg him to become her concubine in Prince Duan's mansion.
However, Ye Changyou's idea ultimately failed.
Because Ye Kunlin had already started writing imperial edicts granting marriages, and there were several of them at once, which made everyone very surprised and nervous.
Because no one knows what is written in the imperial edict, and no one knows whether the emperor will be interested in any of their girls and marry them to the princes as concubines.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Kunlin finally finished writing the imperial edict. Eunuch Xi stepped forward, took the edict and read it out one by one.
The first one was an imperial decree to bestow Xie Meng of the Xie family to Prince Duan as a concubine.
The second letter was an imperial decree granting Wu Yunran marriage to Prince Ji as a concubine.
The third letter was an imperial decree granting Lu Linger to King Huai as his principal wife.
As soon as the three imperial edicts came out, Prince Ji Ye Ruihua and Prince Huai Ye Xuqi stood up at the same time, "Father——"
The two said in unison.
His anxious look clearly showed that he was going to express his opposition.
"Why, do you have objections to my decision?" Ye Kunlin spoke in a deep voice without waiting for the two to say anything, revealing the majesty of an emperor.
Ye Ruihua and Ye Xuqi fell silent at the same time.
One of them lowered his head to look at Princess Qi Siya beside him, while the other lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Changyou's expression became even uglier.
He was still hoping to get Wu Yunran to beg to be his concubine, but his father's imperial decree had been issued, and his plan was ruined.
As the female party involved, Xie Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Siya's face remained dignified. As for Lu Linger, after a brief moment of surprise and disbelief, she looked at King Huai Ye Xuqi with a worried look.
