Chu Yu walked up to Baili Chen with a tired expression and clasped his fists, saying, "I don't know if the Second Prince came knocking. Please forgive me if I failed to welcome him."
As he spoke, he led Baili Chen inside and sat on the chair next to Rong Gan. The entire time, Baili Chen didn't even lift his face, as he immediately mocked, "The Prime Minister's education truly makes this prince look at him in a new light."
Hearing this, Yu Yu Yu immediately laughed as he lowered his head and said, "This uncultured and uncultured person is a proper and proper young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate. I just don't know what sort of people are like."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Baili Chen with a smile that was not a smile. This gaze caused Baili Chen to panic.
After all, they were still in Wu Country. Although Wu Guo had always treated them with respect, if the Emperor knew that their second prince was fake, he would be placed under house arrest within the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
At that time, it was very likely that he would become a source of information to threaten Yan Guo. Seeing that Baili Chen had stopped talking, he sneered once more and lowered his head, making Baili Chen's expression extremely ugly.
Only then did he cough lightly. With a respectful tone, he said to Baili Chen, "I wonder what is the purpose of this visit to the Prime Minister's Estate, Second Prince?"
"When this prince heard that this prince's fiancee had returned, he wanted to come and take a look." While speaking, Baili Chen looked at the fresh air, as if he wanted to see the fresh air.
However, he didn't expect that before he even looked up, he would directly say, "That Second Prince is going to be disappointed, your fiancee is already dead."
When Baili Chen heard this, he immediately waited for it to come to an end. "You!" Seeing that Yu Yu didn't give him any face at all, Baili Chen's gaze shifted, saying, "If I don't come soon, I'm afraid that my fiancee will be snatched away by someone as shameless as him."
After hearing this, Rong Qian finally smiled and said, "Why is the second prince so deaf at such a young age? "Didn't you hear that your fiancée was dead? Then where is the Prime Minister's fiancee?"
Baili Chen had not expected that this country of Wu would be so shameless. He did not know how to refute this for a while. Xiao Yun Chen silently took out the bright yellow imperial edict and passed it to Baili Chen.
When Baili Chen saw the imperial edict, his eyes immediately shone. He extended his hand to receive the imperial edict and placed it on the table. Then, he looked at Yucheng and said, "Prime Minister, look carefully. This is the imperial edict given by your Emperor. Could it be that you all wish to defy it?"
Naturally, he could not allow Baili Chen to continue speaking. Otherwise, if the news were to spread out, he would not have the head on his neck to take it.
However, if you admit to the decree, then it would mean that you approve of the marriage. So what if you have the decree? Since the young mistress of the Prime Minister's Estate could go missing once, then he could naturally go missing a second time, a third time, or forever. At that time, would the Second Prince be able to hold onto an imperial edict for the rest of his life? If that's the case, I naturally have nothing to say. "
It was true that if he stayed in the palace and wanted to marry into the Kingdom of Yan, he might as well disappear from this world and live in it more easily and happily than he did in the Kingdom.
The emperor naturally couldn't find an excuse to do anything to politics. After all, disappearance wasn't something he could control. Not only couldn't it be done, the emperor also wanted to give him something to comfort him.
Seeing how Baili Chen was humiliated, the smile on his face widened. However, it was only for a short period of time. If it weren't for the Hong Ye carefully watching him, he might not have noticed.
After sitting for a while longer, he finally felt hungry. He frowned and said, "Since you two have such a tacit understanding, why don't you two sit together? You can't mess with me."
After she said that, she stood up and went to meet up with the Wutong Courtyard. When she returned to the Wutong Courtyard, Xiao Lan used the stove to heat up all the food in the box that she had brought back, so it was still warm even now.
Yu Yu immediately sat down and started to eat. When she woke up early in the morning, she was not in a good mood. After eating, she said to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, go to the front hall and watch. Wait for the two of them to leave before coming back."
Since Yu Qian had already left, she naturally had no interest in staying here with Baili Chen and the two men from the government. She stood up and brought Hong Ye along as well, returning home with the betrothal gift.
Baili Chen thought of those rude words as soon as he saw the lack of politics. What was the point of keeping him here after leaving? Thus, he left the Prime Minister's Estate one after the other.
Not only was the news of him going to propose was spread throughout the capital, even the emperor in the palace was aware of it. After so many days, the emperor had finally revealed a rare smile.
He said to the head eunuch who was standing to one side, "Let's just let this brat go. Seeing that he's normally quiet, he is quite steady. I never thought that he would actually think of such a method." "Hahaha!"
The chief eunuch saw that the emperor was happy and laughed as well, "Who knows! It seems like the Sixth Prince has spent quite a bit of effort to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Emperor. "
With that, the head eunuch thought of what the young eunuch had reported to him. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "However, I heard that the Second Prince of Yan also went to the Prime Minister's estate. I just don't know what sort of situation this will turn out to be."
After the Emperor heard this, he paused for a moment and then happily said, "Who cares about him. It's just that we can't care about whether the Second Prince of Yan Nation gets married without a hitch!"
Seeing the emperor happy, the chief eunuch opened his mouth to say something. Just as he was about to say something, a young eunuch came in with a letter in his hand.
The chief eunuch could only suppress the words he was about to say and take the letter to the emperor. The emperor opened it and read it, and his good mood immediately vanished.
He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it at the feet of the eunuch. Seeing the emperor panting, the eunuch picked up the letter and opened it.
Only now did he know that it was a letter from Liang Guo. The letter said that it didn't care if it was betrothed to the Second Prince of Yan and was wholeheartedly thinking of marrying Yu Yu as Crown Prince's consort.
Chief Eunuch only thought that the Emperor was angry that the Kingdom of Liang wanted to compete with Rong Qian.
