Emperor Jingming spoke in a gentle tone, with a hint of pity in his eyes, as if he was considering his niece.

The King of Xiang lowered his head and almost laughed out loud.

It was a good bet!

He knew that any man would sympathize with what happened today.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Pan Hai secretly and added: "Any half man would do that."

Pan Hai: “…” The second time!

If the King of Xiang continued to look at him like this, he would suspect that the King of Xiang wanted to force Miss Cui on him. Fortunately, he was only half a man...

Pan Hai secretly thought that this was a close call and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

Princess Rongyang was stunned for a moment after hearing what Emperor Jingming said. When she finally reacted, she exploded: "Brother, what did you say?"

"I have decided to grant Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu a marriage, which can be regarded as helping a pair of lovers come together."

"Royal brother, Mingyue was deceived by the idiot surnamed Zhu. She thought he was unmarried at first, so she dated him..."

Emperor Jingming frowned and said, "It is wrong to lie, so I demoted Zhu Deming and stripped Zhu Ziyu of his status as a scholar. Do you think this punishment is not enough, my sister?"

Princess Rongyang's lips trembled and she dared not speak.

What if she says it's not enough, and the emperor increases the punishment but still insists on arranging a marriage between Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu? Wouldn't that be the end of it!

"Does my sister think this punishment is enough?" Emperor Jingming asked in a good temper.

Princess Rongyang's lips turned pale, and she tried her best to suppress her emotions that were about to collapse: "The emperor's treatment is naturally the most appropriate."

Emperor Jingming nodded slowly: "I'm glad that my sister thinks so. Since Zhu Ziyu's deception has been punished, let's talk about his marriage with Mingyue——"

"What can Mingyue say to him?" Princess Rongyang completely lost control and interrupted Emperor Jingming with a loud voice.

Emperor Jingming's eyes darkened, and his gaze was fixed on Princess Rongyang's face, which was flushed with excitement.

His tone was still so gentle: "Just now, the imperial sister said that Mingyue thought Zhu Ziyu didn't have a wife, so she was in contact with him. This is enough to show that there is love between them. Since there is love, and now it has become like this, isn't it the best of both worlds to help them get together?"

Princess Rongyang almost couldn't catch her breath.

Bullshit, the best of both worlds! She knew that people who have been emperors for a long time would have some abnormal brains!

"Royal brother, Mingyue and the King of Xiang are only a few steps away from getting married. If we really want to say it, she is already the daughter-in-law of the royal family. How can she marry someone else?"

Emperor Jingming's face straightened: "You are wrong, my sister. If a couple is not harmonious after marriage, there are many people who divorce and seek good partners, not to mention that they haven't even been married yet. I am not that kind of pedantic person. I can't sacrifice Mingyue's happiness for the so-called face of the royal family."

Princess Rongyang almost knelt down before Emperor Jingming.

My royal brother, please be a little more pedantic. People cannot survive if you treat them like this!

"Royal sister, please don't be so stubborn. Listen to my advice. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings——"

"No!" Princess Rongyang resolutely interrupted Emperor Jingming and said excitedly, "I will go find my mother—"

A cold voice came: "Stop!"

Princess Rongyang paused and looked at Emperor Jingming.

In her impression, the emperor, who was gentle and kind, now looked at her with a blank expression and cold eyes.

When faced with the emperor's wrath, even a proud person like Princess Rongyang would feel terrified.

After all, she was no longer the girl who had gone to the Queen Mother and Emperor Jingming and insisted on marrying the man she loved more than ten years ago.

Emperor Jingming placed his hand on the white jade paper and stroked it gently, his voice slightly cold: "The Queen Mother is old and needs more rest. My sister is always sensible, please don't disturb her."

Emperor Jingming said it lightly, but Princess Rongyang heard it as a full warning.

She immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to complain and cry.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always had many daughters. She had many sisters at the beginning, but not many of them could marry in the capital. And she was the only one who could enter the palace immediately after marrying in the capital.

Why?

After all, it was because she was the Queen Mother's adopted daughter that the Emperor treated her differently.

The key to this special treatment lies in the Queen Mother.

Since her brother had said so, if she still ignored it and went to the Queen Mother to cry and complain, her brother would think she was unfilial.

The Emperor cares the most about the Empress Dowager. If he thinks she is unfilial, her honor and favor will be greatly affected.

To put it bluntly, Princess Rongyang's willfulness in her youth was due to her status as someone who could overwhelm the other party. She knew when to restrain herself when facing the Queen Mother and Emperor Jingming.

If you are born in a royal family and only know how to be coquettish, you may not live for more than two years.

Seeing that Princess Rongyang was quite interested, Emperor Jingming nodded with satisfaction, his eyes softened: "Since my sister also agrees with my decision, let's do it this way. Pan Hai, pass on my order..."

Pan Hai accepted the order and left.

Princess Rongyang left the palace like a wandering ghost.

What did she do in the palace?

The King of Xiang still knelt quietly.

Emperor Jingming walked over and kicked the Prince of Xiang on the buttocks, angrily saying: "What are you still kneeling for? Go back to the palace!"

At this time, there was a group of people waiting to attend the wedding in the Prince of Xiang's mansion - thinking of this, the Prince of Xiang suddenly felt that there was nothing to be attached to in life.

What did he do wrong to have such a bad thing happen to him?

Cui Ming Yue

The King of Xiang gnashed his teeth and called out this name in his heart, filled with hatred.

Swallowing this anger now does not mean that the matter is over.

Is it all over if I marry Zhu Ziyu?

This adulterous couple hates him so much, he will definitely make them pay!

"Hmm?" Seeing Prince Xiang still kneeling foolishly, Emperor Jingming frowned.

The King of Xiang kowtowed and said, "My son, I will take my leave."

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Jingming was the only one left in the study.

Emperor Jingming flipped through the storybook a few times and sighed deeply.

"It seems that if the left eye twitches, it will bring wealth, and if the right eye twitches, it will bring disaster!"

Emperor Jingming stuffed the notebook into his drawer and walked away to Cining Palace with his hands behind his back.

The Queen Mother will know about this sooner or later, but let's wait until the matter is settled.

Of course he was not going there to confess, but to chat with the Queen Mother.

With such a filial son like him, the Queen Mother probably wouldn't care too much about what other people do.

Prince Xiang hurried back to the palace, and found that most of the guests were still waiting there.

When the Prince of Xiang saw that all his brothers were there, including the crown prince, he was furious.

It’s okay for others, but the prince had already left when the seventh prince got married, so what does he want to do now?

Are his jokes so funny?

"Eighth brother, what happened?" The princes asked in succession with concerned looks on their faces.

Just kidding, I was just worrying about how to watch it openly when it was so lively, and now I can catch up, only a fool would leave.

Perhaps today's events were too trying, the King of Xiang was only angry for a moment before calming down and saying calmly, "Nothing, my brother's wedding with Miss Cui has been cancelled."

"Cancel?" The princes couldn't help but show surprise.

The prince had a rare opportunity to teach his brothers: "Eighth brother, your marriage was arranged by our father, so you can't act willfully even if you are angry!"

"I had no choice. My brother's marriage was stolen by someone else. I had no choice but to go to the palace and ask my father to make the decision. So my father cancelled my marriage with Miss Cui and arranged a marriage between Miss Cui and Zhu Ziyu..."

"Puff——" Prince Lu spat out a mouthful of tea.
