C16 (1/2)
The emperor still had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp and, for a moment, stiff.
Yue Chanjuan's words were accompanied by sharp thorns that pierced his heart.
Yue Chanjuan was truly a bit sullen. She did not know what was good for her. If it were not for his protection, how could she have survived until now?
Only, it wasn't worth getting angry over a little girl. He was the person that held the fate of everyone. Yue Chanjuan's fate was also in his hands.
She was just a princess of the Cold Palace. For his sake and the rest of the world, she had left the palace and kissed him. She had no choice but to follow the path he had given her. Because if she didn't have the Great Kang Empire backing her, then what did she count as?
By the blessing of the heavens, on the day of the Emperor's edict, the great moon pear of the Huns is here alone, devoted to the heavens and the earth, and has come a thousand miles to ask for marriage. Princess Dagang Wuyou, both good and bad looks, excellent quality, virtuous and well-mannered. With Princess Wuyou, the matter of getting out of the house and getting into a marriage alliance was a hundred years of happiness. ”In the Royal Family, the daughter of the King is called Yue Mu. She is bestowed the title Princess Yue You. Together with Princess Wu You, we will go out together …
Once the decree was passed, Yue Chanjuan would definitely marry into a marriage alliance, and there would also be two people who would simultaneously go out and get along with the marriage alliance.
One of them was the daughter of the Prince of De. The princess had been given the title Princess Jianyou, and was to be married off to a Huns.
The other person was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yang Lanshan. She gave him and Tuoba Fei both the right to marry.
As for who Yue Chan Juan and Yue Mengmeng should betroth to, it was not stated in the decree. Yue Chan Juan also received the decree and pondered for a long time.
Yue Mu was one year older than her. She was from the Royal Family, the youngest daughter of the Prince of De. They were originally princesses, but because of their relationship, they were promoted to princesses.
Logically speaking, the moon was also a royal maiden. She was conferred the title of a princess and was older than her. Therefore, she should be assigned a single title, which made her think that she was from the Huns. However, why did the decree not make it clear that Yue Chan was worried?
”Why is it that the decree never explicitly stated who I am to be betrothed to?”
”Your Highness, Princess Jie You is one year older than the Princess. The Emperor did not make any clear decisions. Could it be that the Princess was not very fond of Sulu Lianshan, and thus decided to wait for the Princess to arrive at the branch before making any decisions? ”
Yue Chanjuan's dark eyes narrowed as she shook her head slightly. She didn't think that Emperor Sheng would have such good intentions.
”He actually gave Yang Lanshan's granddaughter to Prince Xian of the Left. Even if they were to leave the city, they can't do it peacefully. Do they still have to deal with the Yang family?”
The corner of her mouth curved up in a cold smile. She didn't expect that the Prime Minister Yang Lanshan would be willing to let his granddaughter marry into the imperial family.
”With his power and influence, if he's unwilling, who can force him? Yang Lanshan must have deliberately arranged for his granddaughter to go to the Huns in order to understand their situation. He didn't know if there was anything going on between him and Tuoba Fei. If there is a secret within it, even if I stay in the Huns, I won't be able to remain safe. ”
His heart was thrown into chaos because of the sudden appearance of Yang Ling Xuan within the imperial edict. As it was related to the Yang family, she couldn't stay calm anymore.
Hatred rose from the bottom of her heart. Although she had never seen this Yang Lingzhi before, the moment she heard that she was Yang Lanshan's granddaughter, endless hatred filled her heart.
The Mo Clan was safe?
Her mufei was strangled to death by Grand Concubine Yang, the Mo family also declined. Three years later, when she went to the Eastern Palace to look for Mufei's family, she found nothing.
”Marry Prince Xian of the Left and go to the Great Moon Sect together?”
A hint of hatred and a sneer rose from the corner of his mouth. The Da Yue branch was not a place where the Yang family could do whatever they wanted. The handsome face of Prince Xian of the Left suddenly appeared in his mind. That man isn't easy to deal with.
”Reporting to the princess, the arranged marriage with the princess is ready. It will be a auspicious day in three days. ”His Majesty ordered us to set off together with the wedding procession in three days.”
”Three days …”
His heart was suddenly at a loss. Only three days?
Why was there still no news of that person up till now?
”Qin Yun, did you inform those maids to follow me out?”
Yue Chanjuan originally wanted to ask Qin Yun about this, but she received news of him. However, when the words reached her mouth, they turned into a servant.
A flash of sadness flashed past his eyes. Perhaps, to be unable to see her for the rest of his life, that was the best choice. Even if they met, it wouldn't change anything.
He had originally hoped that with a single glance, he would be able to tell that everything was going well for him. Even if it was, it was good to have news of him. However, even though he had sent Qin Yun and the others out several times, they were unable to obtain any information from him.
