Prince Lu was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of tea, which sprayed all over the prince.

The prince swung his sleeves and looked dark: "Old Fifth, can't you be more polite?"

Prince Lu smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, second brother, this is just a surprise."

Everyone turned their attention back to Prince Xiang.

Prince Qi said with concern: "Eighth brother, did the emperor really arrange a marriage for Miss Cui and Zhu Ziyu?"

The relationship between the Prince of Xiang and the Prince of Qi has always been good, and he nodded calmly.

"Congratulations, eighth brother." A clear voice rang out.

The King of Xiang looked over.

Yu Jinchong raised his glass to him.

"Are you joking, Seventh Brother?" Prince Xiang asked coldly.

If he fights today, my father will surely understand.

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't like to tell jokes, but I sincerely congratulate my eighth brother."

The veins on Prince Xiang's forehead were throbbing, and he was almost unable to control the urge to beat someone.

"Then tell me, Seventh Brother, where does your brother's happiness come from?"

Yu Jin turned the wine glass in his hand and said slowly, "Although today's incident is embarrassing for Eighth Brother, it is better than making a fuss in the future. That would be really embarrassing. What do you think, Eighth Brother?"

The King of Xiang hesitated for a moment, then casually grabbed a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Lao Qi was right. He should be congratulated for getting rid of that jerk named Cui before the wedding.

Upon seeing this, the princes raised their glasses one after another.

"That's right, don't take it to heart, Eighth Brother, let's have a drink..."

Yu Jin brought the wine glass to his lips, took a sip, and smiled slightly.

On the way back, Yu Jin shamelessly squeezed into the carriage, hugged Jiang Si and asked, "Ah Si, do you think Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu's marriage will be smooth?"

Jiang Si turned his head away from the strong smell of alcohol and said with a smile, "Of course I hope everything goes smoothly for them."

I thought that blocking Cui Mingyue's path to becoming a princess would be a small victory, but I never expected that the emperor would have such a brilliant idea.

Putting Cui Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu together is like fish finding fish, shrimp finding shrimp, and turtle finding turtle. It is truly a match made in heaven.

Jiang seemed to be able to almost imagine what would happen next.

With Cui Mingyue's pride, it would be fine if Zhu Ziyu was still a promising scholar. But if she married a half-crazy and half-stupid man who was expelled from the family, they would kill themselves in the future without anyone's help.

Jiang Si leaned against the car wall and smiled.

This small goal seems to be about to be achieved.

Cui Mingyue sat in the room, still wearing her bright red wedding dress.

Cui Yi, who has always been lawless, didn't even dare to enter the room, and paced back and forth in the corridor outside the house.

"What are you doing here?"

Cui Yi looked up and saw that it was Princess Rongyang. He said with a bitter face, "My sister is inside."

"Where's your father?"

Cui Yi pointed to the shadows and said, "Father is there."

"Keep an eye on your sister." Princess Rongyang said this and did not go to see Cui Mingyue immediately, but went to find Cui Xu.

Cui Xu was standing under an osmanthus tree. When he heard footsteps, he raised his eyes slightly and saw that it was Princess Rongyang coming. He then retracted his gaze and remained silent.

Princess Rongyang came closer and became furious when she saw Cui Xu like this.

"Why don't you ask what your brother said?"

"What does the Emperor say?"

"you--"

Cui Xu looked at her helplessly: "Do we still have to have a fight at this time?"

Princess Rongyang was suddenly deflated.

"My brother wants to marry Mingyue to Zhu Ziyu!"

Cui Xu was stunned for a moment, followed by a long silence.

"Cui Xu, please say something!" For many years, what Princess Rongyang hated most was this man's indifference.

Cui Xu smiled bitterly: "This is the emperor's will, what else can I say? Do you want me to disobey his order?"

If he could disobey the order, he would not have waited until now.

Princess Rongyang was speechless after being asked this question.

"Since it is the emperor's intention, you go and tell Mingyue and ask her to make preparations." After saying this, Cui Xu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Cui Xu——" Princess Rongyang called out.

Cui Xu stopped and looked at her inquiringly.

The corners of Princess Rongyang's lips twitched.

Why did she call Cui Xu?

The emperor's order was hard to disobey, and her daughter's marriage to Zhu Ziyu could not be changed. She certainly did not ask Cui Xu to disobey the order.

But at this time, couldn't this husband and father give her some comfort?

"I'll leave if there's nothing else." Cui Xu turned and left.

Princess Rongyang walked into the room.

"The Emperor is going to grant me and Zhu Ziyu a marriage?" Cui Mingyue murmured after hearing what Princess Rongyang said.

"The imperial edict will arrive soon."

"Impossible!" Cui Mingyue stood up suddenly and grabbed Princess Rongyang's sleeve, "How could the emperor grant me and Zhu Ziyu a marriage? Mother, didn't you go to the Queen Mother--"

Princess Rongyang raised her hand and slapped Cui Mingyue.

"How dare you mention the Queen Mother! If you bother her again and displease the Emperor, I won't be able to stay in the capital!" Princess Rongyang became angrier and angrier. "All of this was caused by your stupidity. Why did you get involved with a married man in the first place?"

Cui Mingyue covered her face, ignored the accusations of Princess Rongyang, and asked stubbornly: "Does the emperor really want to grant me and Zhu Ziyu a marriage?"

At this time, Cui Yi ran in: "Mother, sister, the father-in-law who came to deliver the imperial edict is here!"

Cui Mingyue fell back into the chair.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Cui Mingyue held the imperial edict in a daze.

It was clear that she would be the Princess of Xiang from today onwards, so how did things turn out like this?

When did a man like Zhu Ziyu have the courage to do this?

Cui Xu looked at his daughter's eyes, which flashed with anger and disappointment, and finally turned into helplessness: "Mingyue, you should pack up well... No matter what, live a good life with Zhu Ziyu in the future..."

Seeing Cui Xu leaving, Princess Rongyang had no intention of staying, but was grabbed by Cui Mingyue by the wrist.

"Mother, someone must have harmed me today!"

Princess Rongyang was startled.

Cui Mingyue raised her head and tightly grasped Princess Rongyang's wrist: "Mother, it must be the Princess of Yan who instigated Zhu Ziyu to cause trouble!"

Princess Rongyang's expression changed: "Do you have any evidence?"

"I didn't, but I know it must be her! Mother, believe me..."

The jerk named Jiang must be retaliating because of the Lu Shengxiang incident!

This time, she lost completely...

Thinking of this, Cui Mingyue burst into tears and regretted it deeply.

She was still too impatient. If she had waited until she became the Princess of Xiang and resolved the hidden danger of Zhu Ziyu before focusing on dealing with that bastard named Jiang, she wouldn't have ended up in complete disgrace.

No, even if she lost everything, she would never marry Zhu Ziyu!

With the imperial decree, Cui Mingyue quickly got into the flower sedan chair again, and was carried to a mansion to the sound of music.

That was the new house that the emperor specially allocated to Zhu Ziyu who was expelled from his home out of his great grace.

This time, there were more people watching the excitement than at the Xiang Prince's wedding, and the streets were so crowded that no one could move.

Unfortunately, this wedding went smoothly and nothing unusual happened.

The new house was brightly lit with flickering candles.

Zhu Ziyu stared at the person covered with the veil with a complicated look in his eyes.
