This Leng Ming made the matter known to everyone. He was forcing Luo Xue to marry him. His move was really cruel.
After Luo Xue left, Leng Yu lowered his eyebrows and asked:
"Madam, what should we do?"
Luo Xue exhaled heavily and complained angrily:
"What else can we do? Just do as Luo Xue says!"
"Do we really have to go to the Emperor and plead for mercy?"
"What else can we do? Since no one knows about that incident, it seems like a good choice for Luo Xue to marry Leng Ming and become Prince Ming's Consort. I believe that my father and mother will not object to this."
Leng Yu nodded.
"That's right. This morning I heard the ministers in the court discussing this matter. They all said that they were a match made in heaven. Some even wanted to plead for Leng Ming."
Luo Lan shrugged helplessly.
"So, let's not just stand here stupidly, let's go into the palace and find out what's going on!"
As she spoke, she took Leng Yu's hand, asked A Cai and A Hong to drive the carriage, and walked towards the palace together.
Things turned out just as they had expected. At this moment, in the Yangxin Palace, many ministers were there, pleading for Leng Ming. The emperor's face remained gloomy as he listened to these people whispering in front of him without saying a word.
Outside the Yangxin Palace, Leng Ming knelt on his knees, holding up a sign in his hands that read: I will not marry anyone other than Liu Luoxue in this life, please grant me marriage, father.
Luo Lan came in front of him. Leng Ming looked up. When he saw Luo Lan, his face suddenly darkened. He knew that Luo Lan was going to say something unpleasant to him. Things had come to this point, and he had nothing to fear.
So, he straightened his neck and said mercilessly:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I have made up my mind to marry Luo Xue. Please stop trying to stop me."
Luo Xue squatted in front of him, looking at the words on the sign in his hand, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she asked sharply:
"Leng Ming, it was Luo Xue who asked us to come to the Emperor. She said that she hopes we can help you intercede with the Emperor, but I want to remind you that if you marry Luo Xue and you dare to treat her badly, I will be the first to disallow you. I dare to kill you. Do you believe it?"
Leng Ming was stunned at first, then he opened his eyes wide, raised his eyebrows and replied:
"Did Luo Xue really say that? Well...don't worry about that. My feelings for Luo Xue are not as simple as you think. Since I'm desperate to marry her home, I will naturally hold her in my hands like a treasure."
Luo Lan looked at him and nodded.
"Well, I hope you remember what you said today."
After leaving these words, she stood up and walked towards the Yangxin Palace with Leng Yu in big strides.
The Yangxin Palace was particularly lively today. When Leng Yu and Luo Lan came in, the emperor rubbed his head with one hand and waved to them, saying:
"Yu'er, you're here just in time. My head hurts a bit, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Father..."
Leng Yu hurriedly called him,
"Father, what do you think about Ming'er's situation?"
The emperor waved his hands impatiently.
"You decide. Just tell Liu Xi directly. He has the seal. I'm tired and don't want to be in charge anymore."
Obviously, the emperor could no longer handle these people coming to him to plead for Leng Ming, so he gave the decision-making power of this matter to Leng Yu.
Leng Yu came in front of the crowd, looked at the ministers, and asked:
"Is everyone here for Prince Ming's matter?"
"Yes, Prince Ming has feelings for the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion and was willing to kneel for a long time at the gate of the Yangxin Palace. This sentiment, I believe, should be supported.
"This old minister also believes that the marriage between Prince Yu Ming and Miss Liu Er should be granted. Please, Prince Yu, issue the decree."
"Please, Prince Yu, grant me an order to grant you a marriage..."
"Please, Prince Yu, grant me an order to grant you a marriage..."
“…”
Leng Yu looked at the ministers who came to plead for mercy, then glanced at Luo Lan who was standing not far away, and then said to Liu Xi:
"Eunuch Liu, since everyone agrees that Prince Ming should be granted a marriage, I have issued this imperial decree on behalf of the Emperor. Please draft it, Eunuch Liu!"
Liu Xi hurriedly bowed and replied:
"I understand. I will go and pass on the order."
…
This matter was finally accomplished. When Leng Ming received this imperial edict, he cried with joy and almost couldn't speak.
Liu Xi came to the Duke's Mansion with the imperial edict and read out the imperial edict granting the marriage. Liu Dechang had no objection to this. His two daughters could marry the two princes of Daning Kingdom, which was a good destination for them.
On the other hand, Luo Xue showed no surprise or joy when she received the imperial edict. She seemed to be relieved.
She had already decided that getting married was just a necessary process for women in their lives.
She will not accept her fate no matter how she lives the rest of her life.
The wedding date was set for August 28th, an auspicious day. During these days, Luo Lan did not go to Huichun Hall, but was busy at the Duke's Mansion helping her prepare the dowry.
In their spare time, they would sit together and chat, imagining their future life.
Luo Xue always said: Sister, I won’t be as helpless as Yu Qiaoqiao, I will live a good life, don’t worry.
Luo Lan felt even more worried when she said that.
Fortunately, Leng Ming is not an unforgivable person. It’s just that the way he proposed to Luo Xue was a little excessive.
When talking about Yu Qiaoqiao, we have to mention Leng Xi. Since Leng Ming and the second lady of the Duke's Mansion are about to get married, he asked Yu Qiaoqiao to prepare two gifts, one to be sent to Prince Ming's Mansion and the other to be sent to the Duke's Mansion. Although he has always been an enemy of Liu Dechang in the court, as Prince Xi, he still has to do the favors he should do. What's more, he has not been involved in court affairs in the past few years, and the conflicts between him and Liu Dechang have been much less.
But Yu Qiaoqiao rejected him, and she just replied to him coldly,
"I don't know what you want to prepare. I don't have time these days. Ask the housekeeper to prepare it!"
Hearing this, Leng Xi instantly became furious.
"What are you busy with? What's the point of twisting and turning in the yard all day? You are Princess Xi, so please pay attention to your status."
"I told you when I came back that the only requirement for me to return to Prince Xi's Mansion was that you couldn't control what I did. So, my dancing lessons are my business. As for your wish to prepare a gift, that's also your business and has nothing to do with me. You said at the time that I only needed to come back to be your Princess Xi, and you had no right to interfere with what I did."
"you……"
Leng Xi was so angry that his face turned blue in an instant. Of course, this was not the first time he was angry. Ever since Yu Qiaoqiao came back, she had never followed his lead in anything, which made him very annoyed.
But for the sake of Prince Xi's reputation, he endured it.
He pointed at Yu Qiaoqiao and gritted his teeth angrily:
"Yu Qiaoqiao, you are so hateful. If it weren't for Xiaobao, I... I would not let you off easily."
But Yu Qiaoqiao acted as if she didn't hear him and continued to practice dancing, enjoying it very much.
I have to say, although there is no real use for her learning this thing, she does have a certain charm when dancing.
Leng Xi stood not far away and looked back for a while, then with an unfathomable look in his eyes, he turned around... and left.
