Chapter 156 – Uninvited guests
Helian Honglie’s eyes were filled with rage as he stared at Helian Yu, waiting for his explanation. Helian Yu dropped to his knees.
“Father, it is this son’s fault. Please punish him!”
He couldn’t wait for the emperor to order him back to his residence to think about it and not mention the matter with Fu Yifan again. However, he ignored Fu Yifan.
When Fu Yifan saw that the emperor was infuriated and wanted to punish Helian Yu, his heart tightened. He tugged at Grand Tutor Fu’s arm and called out,magic
“Father…”
Grand Tutor Fu knew the meaning behind his daughter’s words. He quickly cupped his fists and knelt beside Helian Yu, begging for mercy on behalf of Helian Yu.
“Your Majesty, things have already come to this point. I hope that Your Majesty can spare King Xiang.” This subject has brought my daughter into the palace not because I want you to hold Prince Xiang accountable, but because my daughter also loves him. Since we’re already ripe, I humbly request that the emperor grant them a marriage in order to prevent them from gossiping about each other. ”
When Helian Honglie heard the word ‘bestowed marriage’, he raised his eyes to look at Grand Preceptor Fu.
“What do you mean, beloved?”
Grand Preceptor Fu replied, “Prince Xiang and my daughter fell in love with each other at first sight on that” Do Not Disturb “show organized by the Great Oak Pavilion, and they succeeded in holding hands.
And I heard that this program was given to you by the Emperor. However, regarding the marriage between King Xiang and my daughter, if this subject does not come to ask Your Majesty for your permission, I’m afraid it would be too much of an excuse. ”When Helian Honglie heard Grand Preceptor Fu’s words, he took a deep breath and frowned slightly.
He turned around and sat down on the Dragon Throne. His chest rose and fell slightly. It was obvious that he was angry. He had reprimanded Helian Yu many times in his heart.
This disappointing thing!
When Helian Yu received Helian Honglie’s slightly angry gaze, his body abruptly shrunk. He didn’t dare to raise his head to look at Helian Honglie.
He also didn’t want to marry this fat woman, but what happened in the Clear Sky Pavilion … When he thought of this, Helian Yu felt nauseous in his heart.
There was no sound from the hall at all. After a long while, Helian Honglie asked Grand Preceptor Fu in a cold voice:
“What are your beloved one’s plans now?”
Grand Tutor Fu stood up and walked forward, speaking to Helian Honglie with a grave expression.
“Since my daughter fell in love with Prince Xiang at first sight, I naturally agree to their marriage. This subject has brought my daughter here because I wish to ask for your permission, your majesty. ”
Helian Honglie gave Helian Yu a cold stare. Since things had already come to this, he had no way to stop him. He would never be able to keep up with his words, let alone the fact that he had agreed to the rule of “no matter what” from the beginning. He had agreed to her request.
He glanced at Helian Yu in disappointment, waved his hand, and said:
“Get up!” Choose a day to arrange their marriage! If there’s nothing else, leave! “I’m tired!”
Fu Yifan was the most excited. Hearing Helian Honglie’s words, she excitedly jumped up and clapped.
Helian Yu could almost feel the surrounding slightly trembling. He cast a sidelong glance at the excited Fu Yifang and felt extremely annoyed looking at her messy face. He gave her a cold look, indicating for her to be quiet.
Although Fu Yifan was the precious daughter of Grand Tutor Fu, her personality was straightforward and carefree. She was unlike the other daughters of the estate, who were well-educated and gentle.
When she received Helian Yu’s gaze, she pouted her mouth in a somewhat sad and spoiled manner and said, “Your majesty, look at King Xiang. He’s glaring at me.”
Helian Honglie’s brows slightly twitched. His own son, the dignified fourth prince of Ming Nether Kingdom, actually wanted to marry such a bothersome woman as his consort! Just thinking about it made him feel a headache!
Angry and anxious in his heart, he coldly berated Helian Yu.
Upon seeing this, Grand Tutor Fu hastily dragged Fu Yifan out of the Heaven and Earth Palace. Helian Yu quickly left as well.The few of them exited the palace. Helian Yu was walking at the front and was about to mount his horse to leave when Fu Yifan stopped him.
“Prince, why don’t you follow Fang Fang Fang back to the Grand Preceptor’s estate first?” Father said it would be best if we arranged our marriage as soon as possible. “So, Fang Fang wants to discuss it with you.”
Helian Yu gave Fu Yifan a cold stare and said, “You handle everything yourself. If you need anything, send someone to Prince Xiang’s Mansion. This King still has things to do and will be leaving first. ”
After speaking, he waved goodbye to Grand Preceptor Fu and left on his horse. Grand Tutor Fu looked at the distant figure and sighed. He said to Fu Yifang, “My daughter, are you determined to marry King Xiang?”
“What is Daddy saying?” In her entire life, Fang Fang has never met a handsome and charming man like Prince Xiang. ” After which, his face gradually turned red. What could Grand Preceptor Fu say now? He didn’t know what had befallen his daughter, or why she’d suddenly gotten involved with King Xiang. Sighing helplessly, he brought his daughter into the carriage and hurried back to the Grand Preceptor’s estate.
When Helian Yu returned to Duke Xiang Palace, he shut himself in his study to sulk. He had wanted to find the empress in the palace to settle the matter of Mo Xiang entering the palace, but who knew that he would run into Grand Preceptor Fu and Fu Yifan? The more he thought, the angrier Helian Yu stood up abruptly. He opened the study door and ordered the hidden guards to investigate the matter between Wei Changning and Mu Ziyan.
At noon, a familiar mama came to the gate of King Jing Palace. It just so happened that Mo Xie and Yue’er wanted to go out for some business. When Mo Xie saw that mama, he was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously:
“I wonder what mama came to the Jing King Manor for?”
Since he was someone close to Mu Ziyan, coming to Jing King Manor was naturally not a good thing! Mo Long clearly remembered that the first time he was brought into the palace by this mama, he was schemed against by Mu Ziyan. Thus, this time, she didn’t have any good feelings towards this mama.
Seeing this, the mama blessed herself respectfully. “This old servant greets wangfei and returns to wangfei. This old servant has been ordered by the Empress to visit the Prince Jing Residence. I wonder if Your Highness’s cold has improved? ”
After hearing what the mama said, Mo Long was stunned for a moment. This Mu Ziyan was truly well-informed. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, and she said to the mama:
“I’ll take care of the matter of the prince, so there’s no need for mufei to worry. If there’s nothing else, mama will be leaving now.”
The mama hesitated for a while before speaking softly, “But, wangfei … “The Empress, she …”
“Hmm? Does mama still have anything else? ”
“The Empress ordered this old servant to come visit the Prince. This old servant saw the Prince and confirmed that he was fine, so he left.”
Mo Li looked at the mama in displeasure and said coldly:
“Does mama mean that I intentionally hid this from mufei?”
“This old servant doesn’t dare!”
“Since you do not dare, then go back! I still have important matters to attend to. Everything is fine with the prince, so mufei need not worry. If mama insists on meeting His Highness, then you just wait here! I’ll be leaving first. ”
With that, Mo Xie ignored the mama, and quickly left with Yue’er in the horse carriage.
The mama turned to look at the horse carriage as it moved further and further away. She frowned in confusion. How could the wangfei abandon the prince and leave the mansion alone with the maidservant?
She took out the jade pendant from her bosom and walked to the front door of King Jing’s manor. She handed it to the guards and begged them to give it to King Jing.
