Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Xuqi.
Lu Linger wanted to see, but in the end she was not brave enough and kept her head down.
If her mother hadn't held her back, she might not have had the courage to kneel down.
At this moment, Lu Linger had no idea that Ye Xuqi's gaze was on her, and something seemed to be brewing in his eyes.
Finally, Ye Xuqi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Your Highness, I obey your command."
It took everyone a while to realize what Ye Xuqi meant, but Lu Linger didn't react for a long time.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Lu Chen's eyes were filled with heartache.
Mrs. Lu Chen sighed and held Lu Linger's hand to remind her.
At this time, Ye Kunlin, who was in a higher position, spoke up, "Lu Ling'er, let me ask you, do you really want to cancel this marriage that I have granted you?"
There was authority in Ye Kunlin's voice, as if it was a sign of anger.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a glimmer of relief in his eyes.
Lu Linger looked at the emperor and then at Ye Xuqi, and finally her deer-like eyes looked at Ye Xuqi, "Your Highness Prince Huai, are you serious about marrying me?"
She felt like she was dreaming, and it was a little unreal.
After Ye Xuqi said this, he was still struggling in his heart, but when he met Lu Linger's expectant eyes, he finally nodded.
Lu Linger was stunned, then slowly, slowly forced a smile, "Then I won't withdraw from this marriage."
As she spoke, Lu Linger looked happily at Ye Kunlin who was sitting on the high seat, "Your Majesty, I want to marry Prince Huai."
Looking at Lu Linger like that, Ye Kunlin couldn't bear to show his anger. It was the fourth brother's blessing that he could meet such a pure and kind woman.
Thinking of this, Ye Kunlin waved his hand, "Alright, leave now. Do you really think I can take back my orders just like that? If you do this again, I will not spare you."
Although her tone was scolding, Lu Linger's heart and eyes were filled with joy, "Yes——"
When Lu Linger returned to her seat, the smile on her face was still unconcealed. Everyone was surprised to see Lu Linger like this.
Is marrying King Huai really worth the joy?
Not to mention others, even Ye Xuqi couldn't help but become suspicious.
With his broken body, can I really be so happy if I marry him?
Ye Xuqi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know that the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
After what happened to Ye Xuqi and Lu Linger, even if Prince Ji and Prince Duan were dissatisfied with today's arranged marriage, they ultimately missed the opportunity to speak up.
Besides, the imperial edict has already been issued, how can it be changed?
Ye Ruihua looked at Qi Siya with an apologetic look on his face, while Ye Changyou's eyes were filled with gloom.
Ye Changyou never thought that this marriage would fail like this.
He married the girl from Xie's family so that his uncle's family could support him with peace of mind. For him, there was not much change. After all, even if the girl from Xie's family did not become his concubine, the Xie family could only choose to support him. The only difference was that they would be more loyal.
But Wu Yunran, marrying her means real military power. Why would my father promise her to Prince Ji?
Could it be that my father has already begun to doubt and fear me?
Ye Changyou is not stupid, as he has been able to maintain a good reputation over the years. It's just that his mind tends to wander when encountering things related to Ye Cangming. After all, he has been compared with Ye Cangming since he was a child. Although Ye Cangming has made great military achievements in the past five years, he has not been in the capital after all.
Now thinking about it calmly, Ye Changyou finally realized that something was wrong with this arranged marriage. His face turned pale and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
Ye Changyou even suddenly began to doubt whether the rumors about the succession were true or false.
Ever since he learned the news, he always felt that he was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, especially when the third brother who had been against him all these years did not come, he became even more certain.
It is precisely because of this that his appearance today seemed a little bit arrogant.
But my father is now in his prime, how could he appoint a crown prince at this time?
If she really intended to make him the crown prince, why did she promise Wu Yunran to Prince Ji when he wanted to marry Wu Yunran? This was undoubtedly a slap in his face in public.
Where did that rumor come from in the first place?
Ye Changyou tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember anything.
Just because, when he learned about the rumor, the rumor spread quietly.
Who is it? Who is behind this?
Ye Changyou thought in shock and panic, trying to figure out whether he had done anything too outrageous, and he didn't even have time to get angry.
"That's all for today. You all can have fun and eat. I won't spoil your fun here." Ye Kunlin suddenly spoke.
Then the expressions of most of the people present changed.
That’s it?
Although the emperor was present at today's Spring Banquet for quite a while, it can be said that it was also grand compared to previous days, especially the singing and dancing in the palace and the ceremony.
But, didn’t they say that a crown prince would be appointed today?
Everyone felt a little dizzy.
Especially Prime Minister Su Zhengsong.
He was still waiting for his son-in-law to become the crown prince today, so why is the emperor stepping down now?
Then what was the point of him going to so much trouble to get Princess Duan to attend this banquet?
The queen also looked at Ye Kunlin in surprise, not understanding what went wrong.
Ye Kunlin had already stood up at this time, but did not turn around. Instead, he looked at the reactions of the people below with a serious look in his eyes, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
