"yes."
"Lord Murong, I heard that among your five daughters, only the eldest, Murong Xiao, was born to your deceased wife. The other four are all daughters of concubines."
"Your Majesty, this is true. Xue'er was born to my concubine, Yu."
"Since she was born to a concubine, even if the Fourth Prince likes her very much, I cannot make her my principal wife."
"Your Majesty is right. Ancestral rules cannot be transgressed."
The emperor nodded and said, "Draft an edict to confer the title of Prince Rui on Qian Yeze, granting him the Prince Rui's Palace. Confer the title of Consort of the Prince Rui, Murong Xue, the fourth daughter of the Murong Palace, to marry on the same day as the Crown Princess."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
The emperor's decree was strange. Although Murong Xiao and Murong Xue were sisters, one was marrying the crown prince as his consort, and the other was marrying Prince Rui as his concubine, two completely different things. Yet, the emperor scheduled their weddings at the same time.
As a result, on the day of the wedding, one prince's house would be empty. Needless to say, this prince was the Prince Rui, who had brought disaster upon himself.
It was not until the emperor's decree was issued that Qian Ye Ze realized something was wrong.
At this moment, a sudden cough was heard. Just when Murong Xiao looked at Qian Yeming worriedly, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Qian Yeming's mouth, sprinkling on the ground in star-like patterns.
Although he knew that it was just the cold poison in his body that damaged his lungs and that the blood he coughed up was due to lung contraction, Murong Xiao still felt distressed.
"Ming'er!" the Queen cried out worriedly, and immediately ordered, "Hurry up and take the Crown Prince down to the Imperial Physician! How can you servants do this?"
The queen's words made Murong Xiao snort in his heart.
In order to marry a killer to her son in order to completely control him, she was willing to sacrifice his health. Could a biological mother really do such a thing?
Qian Yeming stared at Murong Xiao and was reluctant to leave until Murong Xiao gave him a reassuring look, and then he left with peace of mind.
Yelu Ya looked at the prince who was being supported and walked away, then looked at the shocking blood on the ground. The words that had been stuck in his throat tonight were never uttered.
Qian Yeming was truly the first man in the world who had ever made her heart flutter. He was completely different from all the other men she had dated before. But… seeing him in his mink cape, clutching a thermos in the scorching heat, and the pool of blood on the ground, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She could only watch helplessly as the man she loved became that bitch Murong Xiao's lover.
At the very beginning of the banquet, the emperor arranged marriages for two of his princes, forcing the remaining ministers and daughters who still dreamed of marrying princes to give up hope. Without anticipation, the atmosphere was diminished. The entire banquet consisted of ministers toasting the emperor non-stop, and the only other performances were performances that were completely incomparable to Murong Xiao's dance.
Originally, Concubine Ling wanted to take this opportunity to marry Princess Manqiao to Prince Yong of Northern Wei, but because of Murong Xiao, Qianye Manqiao had already left in tears.
Originally, Concubine Duan also wanted to take the opportunity to ask the emperor to grant the second princess Qian Ye Bingmeng a marriage with a powerful official in the court, but because of the extreme stupidity of Prince Rui Qian Ye Ze, Concubine Duan did not dare to ask the emperor for the marriage again.
Both of them had dark faces and each had their own thoughts.
After the marriage was granted, the Emperor was clearly unhappy. The only people on the stage who could be described as radiant were the Empress and Concubine Ye.
The Queen was happy because Qian Yeming finally married the daughter of the Murong family according to his greatest wish.
