Chapter 937: Chapter 937
"How have you been these years? That Ye Gaosheng, is he treating you well?" Qing Li had met Ye Gaosheng before, a foolish young man, and Qingyue marrying him was truly a grievance.
However, sometimes, whether something is a grievance or not can only be understood by experiencing it yourself to know if it’s worth it. Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Just like at this moment, when mentioning Ye Gaosheng, a smile immediately appeared on Qingyue’s face, "I have been doing well, Fourth Lord treats me very well, and the child is obedient and adorable."
From the look on her face, it could be seen that Qingyue’s words were all from the heart.
So, Qing Li was also relieved.
In the Imperial Palace, when the old Emperor asked Lady Sikong Mo, "The War King wishes to marry Princess Changfu, does the old Princess Consort know about this matter?"
Lady Sikong Mo replied with a faint smile, "Naturally, I know about it. Mo’er has admired Princess Changfu for a long time and hopes that Your Majesty can grant this marriage."
Immediately, the old Emperor’s expression became unmistakably somber, "Old Princess Consort, are you sure you know? Did you hear what I was questioning clearly?"
"This..." Lady Sikong Mo appeared somewhat flustered, the threatening expression on the old Emperor’s face was so intense that she was at a loss.
Sikong Mo immediately stepped forward, "Has Your Majesty perhaps forgotten the promise made at the beginning of the year?"
How many years has it been, for Sikong Mo, in his lifetime, to have an opportunity to stand on the same line with Lady Sikong Mo, even if just in appearance and not in heart, who would care?
The old Emperor was shameless; the promise made in front of so many ministers at that time could not be reneged upon anymore.
However, he was still angry inside because the person he sent to contact Lady Sikong Mo yesterday had yet to return, probably already in a dire situation.
And the biggest suspect responsible for the actions against those people, besides Sikong Mo, really couldn’t think of anyone else.
That Lady Sikong Mo could agree to this marriage today is likely because Sikong Mo had already made some maneuvers.
However, whatever is said now comes too late.
"A gentleman keeps his word; what I have said, I will naturally not renege on. The marriage of Princess Changfu and the War Prince Residence is a significant matter, and the War King must prepare well. The necessary ceremonial gifts must not be lacking, and Princess Changfu must not be wronged in any way," the old Emperor said through clenched teeth.
"Princess Changfu is Your Majesty’s most beloved granddaughter, I naturally dare not disappoint!" At this moment, Sikong Mo finally revealed a slight smile.
The Empress then spoke up, "Since this marriage is settled, the betrothal gifts the War King once promised..."
"As for the betrothal gifts, I certainly won’t renege." Sikong Mo said, taking out an object from his bosom.
Already aware that the old Emperor, forced to agree to the marriage, would definitely not let go of the Tiger Talisman, he was prepared when he came.
Once the Tiger Talisman was presented, the old Emperor grasped it in his hand, his heart finally settling.
Although Sikong Mo had gained Princess Changfu, he lost military power. It is believed that he cannot stir much of a wave with just his Sikong Royal Residence.
But being led around by the nose , there’s still some reluctance!
Seeing the Tiger Talisman in the old Emperor’s hand, Lady Sikong Mo’s eyes darkened.
Immediately, she spoke again, "This time coming to the capital, this noblewoman has another matter and hopes for Your Majesty’s sympathy."
"The Sikong Royal Residence is the pillar of Dongyue, and the old Prince died in battle for Dongyue. Whatever the old Princess Consort has to say, just speak of it." The old Emperor said.
"This noblewoman is asking on behalf of my righteous brother’s child, Rong Che, who has been in poor health since young, now often coughing up blood. The finest Imperial Physicians in the world are gathered in the Imperial Medical Bureau. I wish to beseech Your Majesty’s grace to have an Imperial Physician examine Rong Che." Lady Sikong Mo said.
