"Last time, the Emperor sent his entire family to the palace because he wanted to grant me a marriage. I don't know for what reason this time …" As Yan Ling sat on the horse carriage, he felt a sense of helplessness.

He had stayed with Princess Zhaoyan for quite a while. When he returned home at night, he felt very tired. He had intended to sleep a little longer this morning, but after some thought, a decree came from the palace saying that the emperor wanted to see her.

If it was in the past, Yan Ling would naturally not be worried about this. However, this was an extraordinary period. The jade pendant had just been handed over, and who knew if it was possible that the emperor had suddenly discovered some clues?

If that's really the case... Yan Ling was suddenly worried.

Li Li smiled and said, "Who knows, might it be that the Emperor really likes the young miss?"

Yan Ling couldn't help but frown. Li Yi's thoughts were most likely born from the emperor's frequent summons to Princess Yan. However, Yan Ling's situation was completely different from that of a serious master.

Noticing that there was something wrong with Yan Ling's expression, Qingyu hurriedly explained with a smile: "If you really like Miss, you only need to call for an attack by yourself. This is a whole family."

There was nothing wrong with what she had said. However, she did not expect that the moment she said those words, Li Jun's expression suddenly changed. She lowered her head and did not speak any further.

While Yan Ling was still thinking about other things, he naturally did not notice the scene in front of him.

When they arrived at the main hall, Yan Ling suddenly felt a bit absent-minded. If she hadn't made sure that he hadn't returned alive, she really would have thought that this was the day the Emperor would give her a marriage.

This wasn't strange, because the people in the main hall were the same as the people from last time. Seeing this scene, Yan Ling became even more perturbed and could not help but mutter.

"Since everyone is here, I shall tell you the purpose of calling everyone here today …" The emperor looked around, and as he spoke, he took out the jade pendant on the table.

Seeing this jade pendant once again, Yan Ling thought back to his previous guess and immediately panicked. His eyes involuntarily turned towards Liang He.

Liang He had sensed that something was wrong when he saw her just as Yan Ling entered the great hall. At this moment, seeing that he was carefully looking at her, he suddenly understood what Yan Ling was thinking. He quickly smiled at her and signaled her not to make a sound.

Yan Ling was initially uneasy, but when he saw this smile, he suddenly felt relieved. He didn't know why, but he always felt that as long as he saw Liang He's confident appearance, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.

"Last time, I wanted to use this jade pendant to make sure of Yi'er and Yan Ling's engagement, but I didn't expect that neither of the two juniors had the intention to do so, and now they're even making a joke." There was nothing wrong with the emperor's expression. He wore a dignified smile.

"Your majesty, what are you saying? Your majesty also has good intentions. I believe the two of them understand. It's just fate that makes no difference." Consort De covered her mouth and said with a smile.

"That is indeed the case. I will not say much about what happened afterwards." In short, the reason why he called everyone here today was only because he felt that he needed to bring this matter to an end. "Since this jade pendant has already been returned, let's call it a joke then." The Emperor smiled.

So it was for this. Yan Ling suddenly took a deep breath, mocking his overthinking earlier. Although the Emperor's actions seemed superfluous, from a different perspective, it was indeed necessary.

"Father, this son has a request." Just as they were about to leave after exchanging several words of greeting, Liang He suddenly stepped forward and said.

"If the Crown Prince has anything to say, just say it. "However, you rarely ask me for anything." As the emperor spoke, he faintly frowned.

The emperor didn't seem to understand. If Liang He had something to discuss with him, why didn't he speak to him alone? Instead, he chose to speak at this moment. In front of so many people. It was indeed a bit illogical to speak of it.

"Reporting to royal father, your son and First Miss Yan have gotten along well in the past month. It was only now that this son realized that this son had already admired Eldest Miss Yan for a long time, and still hoped that royal father would be the judge so that Ling'er and I could get married. " Liang He suddenly fell to his knees.

The crowd did not know what had just happened. Especially Liang Yi, his face was now extremely ugly.

Liang Yi had indeed always hoped that Yan Ling would marry into the crown prince's mansion. However, that had been arranged by him, and not by Liang He.

Originally, if he hadn't been forced to do so, Liang Yi definitely wouldn't have refused the Emperor's bestowal of a marriage. Liang Yi was still working hard to make Yan Ling fall in love with him. He definitely did not want to make such a straightforward decision.

However, the Emperor's arranged marriage was absolutely not a joke. If this could happen, then there would be no chance for it to change. Naturally, Liang Yi would not allow this to happen.

However, it was precisely because of this matter that Liang Yi, who originally had a tough time chasing after Yan Ling, could be said to have fallen into a new dilemma. In this period of time, Liang Yi was busy. He was still conflicted over what kind of method he should use to make Yan Ling have a good impression of him.

However, what caught Liang Yi off guard was that Liang He actually took advantage of the opportunity to enter and propose the marriage bestowment to the Emperor.

If Yan Ling agreed because of what happened earlier, then Liang Yi's future actions would be quite troublesome.

Of course, there was another reason for this. Liang Yi had always been a phoenix among men. But even so, he had always been suppressed by Liang He. Ever since he was young, Liang Yi had loved to compete with Liang He. However, others felt that he was inferior to Liang He in every aspect. How could he be convinced by this?

If he couldn't compare to Liang He in other ways, then Liang Yi would admit it. However, even Yan Ling, this woman, could only see Liang He and didn't care about him at all. A wave of resentment surged out from Liang He's heart. In the next second, he stood beside Liang He.

"Father, this son also has something to say." Liang Yi suddenly said.

The Emperor had originally been considering this, but now that Liang Yi had come out to interrupt him, he was somewhat helpless. He looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Yi'er, you can say whatever you want."

"In response to Imperial Father's words, this son, after a month of contemplation, actually feels that Eldest Miss Yan is gentle and virtuous. I was blind in the past and did not recognize her. I hope that royal father can retract his order, and this son is willing to accept the marriage offer. " After Liang Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head and stealthily glanced at Liang He.

Liang He tilted his head, and he could see that his little brother had a proud smile on his face. Although on the surface, it was still the same as usual, but his heart had already cut Liang Yi into a thousand pieces.

Liang He had said that he wouldn't let anyone take advantage of Yan Ling forever, and Liang Yi's purpose in doing all of this was very obvious. He wanted to use Yan Lingyan's identity as the first daughter to do something else.

Liang Yi had originally rejected this marriage, but when he saw Liang He stand up for him, he suddenly said that accepting this marriage was due to some other purpose.
