On their way back on horseback, the two of them happened to meet the Fourth Master, Wen Mianmian and their group who were also returning.
When Tiantian saw the Emperor and his mother, she quickly pulled the reins and stopped. Lingye, who was following behind, did the same. They never expected that they would meet here by such a coincidence.
The same went for the Fourth Master and Wen Mianmian. When she saw Tiantian and Lingye together, her eyes were filled with shock.
The Fourth Master's eyes were full of mystery. He looked at the two of them with a frown on his face, which looked a little unpleasant.
Inside the big tent
The Fourth Master and Wen Mianmian sat at the top, while Tiantian and Lingye stood somewhat awkwardly.
"Tell me, what's going on between you two?"
The Fourth Master's voice was ice-cold, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Ye was especially cold, as if he wanted to stare a hole in him.
"Father Emperor, what are you talking about? What's going on with us?" Tiantian lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, but the Fourth Master and Wen Mianmian could still hear it.
The Fourth Master glared at her and said, "What do you think? Why is he here?"
He is no longer Master Lingye. How did he appear here in this hunt? He would never believe that it had nothing to do with her.
Ling Ye didn't want to make things difficult for Tiantian, and since they would know about this matter sooner or later, she walked forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not the fault of the Second Princess. I followed her here on my own. It has nothing to do with the Second Princess. If Your Majesty wants to blame someone, then blame me."
"No, I brought him here. It has nothing to do with him." Tiantian spoke quickly. She didn't want him to be punished by the emperor.
It was she who asked him to come along in this matter. If the emperor really wanted to punish someone, then let him punish her.
Seeing Tiantian's attitude, the emperor and Wen Mianmian knew that the relationship between the two must be unusual.
"You two are together." Wen Mianmian said with a serious look in her eyes, and her tone was not one of questioning, but of affirmation.
Tiantian lowered her head and dared not speak. Lingye then stepped forward and admitted, "Yes, I like the Second Princess, and I will marry her in this life."
When the Fourth Master heard what he said, he was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Lingye. Lingye did not dodge, and the teacup happened to hit Lingye directly on the forehead.
The voice was cold: "Are you dreaming?"
"You dare to covet my daughter? You are quite courageous."
Tiantian saw that Lingye had an injury on his forehead, so she quickly walked over to him and saw that blood was oozing out of his forehead. Tiantian was so nervous that tears were about to flow, and she quickly took her handkerchief to cover the wound for him.
Then he said to the Emperor: "Emperor, how could you do this? Why can't you just talk it out nicely?"
Ling Ye took Tiantian's hand, shook her head at her, and said softly: "Tiantian, I'm fine, don't worry."
This minor injury couldn't do anything to him. He knew that they would be in a bad mood if they knew about it, so he didn't blame them at all. After all, they were Tiantian's parents.
The Fourth Master's eyes widened as he angrily said, "He tried to kidnap my daughter, and I only hit him once, which was considered a light punishment."
Under normal circumstances, he would just be dragged out and chopped off.
He is already so old, and he still dares to covet his daughter. He is simply dreaming.
Not to mention that he was a monk before. If the ministers in the court knew that his second princess married a monk, where would he put his face? Tiantian's reputation would be badly criticized.
Anyway, he would definitely not agree to this matter.
Not to mention that the Fourth Master disagreed, even Wen Mianmian found it difficult to accept.
She never expected that Tiantian would walk with him.
"I will not agree to this matter. And you, from now on, are not allowed to leave the palace without my and your mother's permission."
She had come to him to ask for a token to leave the palace before. She just thought that he was not used to the constraints of the palace, so he gave her a token so that she could leave the palace whenever she wanted.
Now that she thought about it, she left the palace frequently just to see him.
"Father Emperor, how could you do this? You said before that I would have the final say on my marriage. How can you go back on your word now?"
Tiantian looked at her father in disbelief, tears in her eyes.
The Fourth Master looked at her and said sternly, "I did say that, but I will not let my daughter marry a man of unknown origin who is so much older than you."
Ling Ye is not from here, and no one knows how old he is. Who would let their daughter marry such an unknown person?
Although they had dealt with each other several times and had helped him in some ways, this was not the reason or confidence for him to kidnap his daughter.
"Your Majesty, I really like the Second Princess. I beg you to give me a chance. If possible, I hope to talk to Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine alone." Ling Ye looked at the Emperor with a pleading face.
"Let's talk alone. Do you think I will agree to let you be together if we talk alone? Dream on." The Fourth Master was furious at the moment and really wanted someone to come in, drag him out and chop him up.
He never thought that he would actually set his sights on his own daughter. It was simply wishful thinking.
At this moment, Wen Mianmian pulled the Fourth Master's sleeve and said, "Master, why don't we listen to what he wants to say to us?"
Although she was somewhat reluctant about Tiantian being with her, relationships were not something that could be easily severed, and Wen Mianmian didn't want Tiantian's relationship with them to become strained.
So listen to what he has to say.
"What can he say? Anyway, I won't agree."
The Fourth Master hopes that his daughter can be happy, but he also doesn't want her to marry a man who is much older than him and whose background he doesn't know.
"Father Your Majesty, I really like Ling Ye. Didn't Your Majesty say before that he hoped his daughter could find her own happiness? We are in love with each other. Although he is much older than me, I don't care at all."
Tiantian knew that Lingye was much older than her, but she just liked him and wanted to be with him all the time.
And she was very clear-headed. She knew what she wanted and what her father and mother were worried about.
But she really didn't care about that.
"Tiantian, marriage is not a joke. Your royal father is also worried about you. You should consider this matter carefully." Wen Mianmian said earnestly.
"Mother, Father Emperor, I know what you are worried about, but I really don't care. Ling Ye treats me very well, and we are very happy together. Didn't you say before that as long as your daughter is happy and satisfied, that's all that matters?" Tiantian said, looking at them both with firm eyes.
Wen Mianmian glanced at the Fourth Master and seeing his gloomy face, she knew that he was unwilling to accept this matter.
