Imperial Palace, South Study.
The palace maid reported that the envoy wanted to see the emperor, and the emperor summoned him without thinking.
When the envoy came in, the emperor was surprised.
The envoy's eyes were red and swollen, and his nose was also red. The emperor was a little puzzled: "Are you unwell?"
"Your Majesty, I am here to plead guilty today!"
He wiped his tears and looked behind him. The woman following him, dressed as a palace maid, slowly raised her head. The emperor looked carefully and recognized it as Duan Gouqiong. He was a little confused. The current Second Prince's wife, this...
"What does this mean?"
The emperor asked in confusion, and Duan Gouqiong smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty, today the envoy and I have brought the contract and alliance document. Now all you need to do is accept a copy and affix your imperial seal to it!"
The emperor was a little puzzled. "Shouldn't we hold a grand ceremony? Let the people and ministers watch?"
"That's fine, but before that, there's one more thing I need to discuss with Your Majesty."
Duan Gouqiong looked relaxed, unlike an envoy. His nose and eyes were red, and he looked very sad and heartbroken, even crying...
The emperor became more and more confused.
Duan Gouqiong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, in your eyes, the most important thing is for the two countries to live in harmony and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, right?"
Duan Gouqiong spoke in a roundabout way, and the emperor vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
Yesterday, Jing Chengzhi came to the palace and said that Duan Gouqiong was fake and had someone else marry her. He originally wanted to wait for Jing Yuchen and Duan Gouqiong to come to the palace to pay their respects and then find out the truth.
Now that Duan Gouqiong and the envoy had come alone, the emperor vaguely felt that what Jing Chengzhi had said was true.
"yes."
The emperor responded with a single word, somewhat coldly.
"That's good. A marriage can strengthen the alliance between the two countries, but this princess really doesn't want to marry far away. However, this princess also wants to maintain good relations between the two countries, so she has no choice but to come up with a bad plan and let someone marry in her place. I believe the emperor has heard of this, right?"
"Princess Gou Qiong, does the Second Prince know of your plan?"
Duan Gouqiong's eyes rolled around before she replied, "I executed her first and asked for permission later, but the Second Prince likes her very much. After all, she is beautiful. It's better for her to stay in Xianchang in my place and promote the alliance between the two countries than for this princess to seek death and choose to refuse the marriage, right?"
It was Duan Gouqiong who made the mistake, but now according to what she said, it seemed as if she was saying that she was sacrificing herself and considering Xian Chang. She was very kind and righteous!
The emperor had a cold expression and deep eyes, and the distance between them was so far that Duan Gouqiong only felt the emperor's majesty, which gave people a sense of oppression, but he didn't know what the emperor was thinking at this moment.
She asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you will choose to cooperate, right?"
"Is the princess naturally so courageous?"
This rhetorical question made Duan Gouqiong stunned for a moment. She sighed and said, "You must have been spoiled by your father. When I return, I will persuade your father to accept his new daughter!"
"By then, my father might feel guilty and offer Xianchang some kind of compensation..."
Xian Chang can get an alliance agreement, an apology from Cang Lie, and compensation from Cang Lie.
Although she was a fake princess, her goal was indeed achieved.
The emperor's eyes flickered. This is a good thing...
The emperor suddenly laughed heartily: "Princess, you are truly spoiled. Emperor Cang Lie regards you as the apple of his eye. He loves you and dotes on you. How can I blame you?"
The emperor's words made the envoy feel relieved instantly. He thought the emperor would be furious and would force him to turn around as well.
Now look, no!
The emperor seems very happy!
*
Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan entered the palace together. The emperor was in the Qianqing Palace at that time. The two of them walked over one after another, and the emperor turned his eyes to look at them.
Ni Yueshan was dressed as a woman, just as Duan Gouqiong had described her, beautiful, and Jing Yuchen liked her...
Jing Yuchen walked side by side with her, with a hint of joy on his face. If that wasn't love, what else could it be?
The two bowed to the Emperor and Empress, "Greetings, Father and Mother!"
The emperor said indifferently: "Everyone retreat!"
The many palace servants who were waiting in the palace turned around and retreated obediently.
When the queen saw Ni Yueshan, there was already confusion in her eyes.
Why does she look nothing like Duan Gouqiong?
But she couldn't say anything...
At this moment, she looked at the emperor. The emperor had a serious expression on his face, and his gaze fell on Jing Yuchen. "Do you know who is next to you?"
This sentence surprised the Queen. Jing Yuchen was just startled, but quickly responded: "Father, of course I know, it's Yueshan!"
The queen was usually a calm person, but Jing Yuchen's words made her eyes widen and she sat up immediately: "What, Yue, Yueshan...where is the princess?"
She opened her mouth and asked the questions in her heart. She never said much in front of the emperor, but at this moment, she was so surprised that she couldn't help but speak.
Jing Yuchen responded honestly, "The one I married yesterday wasn't the princess, but Yueshan! I found Yueshan from the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Jing Yuchen had his head lowered, but now he looked at Ni Yueshan with a smile on his lips. That smile came from his heart. His face was charming and gentle, charming and sunny.
Ni Yueshan felt a warm feeling in her heart, and kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress: "Father, Mother, Yueshan was indeed missing. Fortunately, the Second Prince searched for her tirelessly, and he also didn't mind my ugly appearance and gave me the best ointment for my treatment."
