After everyone paid their respects, Consort Li stepped off the bed and instantly transformed into a different person. She bowed to the Emperor in a sweet and coquettish voice and said, "Your Majesty! Why have you come? Why didn't you inform me?"
"I heard that you invited Mr. Tian to the palace. I've come to see him. Is it because you admire Mr. Tian's talent, my beloved concubine?"
"Yes! I heard that a Mr. Tian has emerged in my Wu Kingdom. I would like to meet him, so I specially sent someone to invite him to take a look."
"Why is Mr. Tian still kneeling?! Get up quickly!" the Emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Yu kowtowed in gratitude, supporting her legs as she slowly stood up. However, her legs went numb from kneeling and she almost fell again. Fortunately, Zhao Moyan and Prince Wu on either side of her supported her. Tian Yu smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, both of you! My legs are numb."
The Imperial Concubine and Li Weiwei glanced at her, and the Imperial Concubine quickly said to the palace maid, "Someone, quickly give Mr. Tian a seat."
Tian Yu was helped to a chair and sat down. Zhao Moyan had a dark face the whole time, clutching the divorce papers tightly in his hand. Tian Yu could only look down at her skirt and dared not breathe.
"Father, Ling'er just wants to marry Brother Mo Yan. You promised me, Father, that you can't go back now," Wu Ling'er pleaded, kneeling before the Emperor.
"Ling'er, didn't your father promise to help you find another husband? Why can't you let go of him and come here to cause trouble for the Imperial Concubine?"
"Your Majesty, the princess was just too deeply in love, which is only human nature! Your Majesty should not blame the princess. Besides, it was I who arranged this marriage in the first place." The Consort also spoke up for the princess. Tian Yu realized that this was the case. No wonder the Empress was not worried but the Consort was anxious.
"It's all because you guys spoiled them."
"Mr. Tian has already made a mistake. What do you think we should do?" the Emperor said to Tian Yu.
"Your Majesty is too harsh. How can this be blamed on Your Majesty and the Princess? It is my fault. I should have remarried after our divorce, and none of this would have happened. It is my fault that the Marquis and the Princess have misunderstood each other. I beg Your Majesty to punish me." After saying this, Tian Yu was about to kneel down again.
"Mr. Tian, please get up. Mr. Tian has a broad mind. Ling'er, take a look and learn from him."
"I know the princess is angry, and I've already suggested a method. If the princess is willing to accept it, I will move out of the marquis's mansion tomorrow, and we can compete fairly. What does the princess think?" Tian Yu said again, ignoring Zhao Moyan's angry expression.
“We heard what Mr. Tian said earlier, and Fifth Brother also thinks it’s good. Why don’t you give it a try, Imperial Sister?”
"Fifth Brother!? Why are you taking her side too?"
"Fifth Brother just thinks this is the best way. Does Your Highness have any fear of losing?"
"I won't lose to her! Okay! If Brother Mo Yan chooses me, you'd better not regret it."
"Princess, rest assured. With His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine as witnesses, if the Marquis is willing to be with you, I will take my child and leave without ever setting foot in the capital again. But if the Marquis is still willing to be with me, then please do not disturb me any further."
“In that case, I have a house in the suburbs where Mr. Tian can stay for the time being. This way, my sister will feel more at ease. What do you think, sister?” Prince Wu immediately suggested.
"Alright! It'll be as you say, three months. I'll definitely make Brother Moyan divorce you after three months."
"It's a deal!"
"I disagree!" Zhao Moyan finally spoke up after staring at Tian Yu.
"You disagree? Then what do you suggest?" the Emperor asked.
"I will not agree!" Zhao Moyan's face darkened with anger.
Tian Yu tugged at Zhao Moyan's sleeve, telling him to stop talking. They had finally resolved the issue and could go home, so what was he doing?
"Fine! If you don't agree, then tell me now who you want to be with!" the emperor asked angrily, while the princess looked at him with a wronged expression.
"Your subject naturally..." Before Zhao Moyan could finish speaking, Tian Yu stood up and covered his mouth with her hand, smiling as she said to the others, "The Marquis has been in a bad mood lately, so don't worry about him. Princess, we've made our agreement. I have some matters to attend to at home, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, he covered Zhao Moyan's mouth with one hand and forcibly dragged him away. The Emperor was still chasing after him, asking, "Mr. Tian, please update your book sooner!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as no one disturbs me, I will do my best to write it."
