Mu Haolin's expression did not change as he continued to ask with a smile, "Ziyi didn't bother about what we wanted to live for so many years. Today is a day of great joy, just say whatever Ziyi has to say."
"Ziyi wishes for the Emperor to bestow the marriage and bestow the Princess Xuanxuan to me as his wife."
Mu Haolin seemed to be startled, but quickly smiled, "I didn't think that Zi Yi would also have such feelings for Xuan Er. Xuan Er, do you agree to this matter?"
"Xuan Er agreed. Xuan Er came here with Young Master Xiao to discuss this with the emperor."
"Good, good, good. A perfect match made between a talented man and a talented woman. Coincidentally, the crown prince is getting married to Ling Yi as well. This is a perfect match."
Xiao Ziyi still did not get up and continued, "Ziyi still has one more request, and I ask for your permission, your majesty."
"Go ahead."
"Ziyi wanted to benefit from His royal highness the prince's happiness, so the wedding ceremony will be held on the same day as His royal highness the prince."
Although Xuan Er has not always been by our side, you should know Xuan Er's capabilities, so you must treat him well. "Su Yun said in a low voice.
"Zi Yi understands. Zi Yi thanks you for your kindness."
Even though Bai Yixuan was smiling on the surface, she didn't know how to dispel the pain in her heart, especially when Xiao Ziyi looked over with genuine joy in his eyes. Furthermore, when Xiao Ziyi actually said that he wanted to marry Mu Yefan the same day, she knew that this was Xiao Ziyi helping his take revenge against Mu Yefan.
However, in this situation, their hearts could only be tormented by the frying pan.
The Prime Minister's expression did not look good, but hearing this result, he knew that he could not stop Xiao Ziyi from doing something. He had always known that Xiao Ziyi was not willing to be his chess piece, and since young, he had always had his own opinions. Prime Minister Xiao did not want Xiao Ziyi to offend the crown prince, but now, it seemed that he had completely offended him.
The Emperor said that the Xiao family's efforts were high, but Prime Minister Xiao was thinking more about the future. After thanking the Emperor, the Xiao family took their seats, right across from the Crown Prince and Prince Yong.
Xiao Ziyi laughed towards him without a care, and pulled Bai Yixuan to a seat.
"Ziyi, you've done too much for me."
Xiao Bai, don't think too much about it. Just leave everything to me, if you want the crown prince to regret it, I can also help you with these things. "
"Your father is unhappy."
"It's fine. I'll talk to my father about it later. You haven't eaten yet, so you should eat more today."
In Mu Yefan's eyes, all of these were like a couple stroking his ears and ears, you were the one and only man, Bai Yixuan's sadness was hidden in his eyes, but Mu Yefan's current situation was like a stranger that was not allowed to enter.
Mu Beiche knew that Mu Yefan's heart was in pain, but he did not know how to persuade him. Sitting by the side was even more difficult, and in the end, he almost finished drinking the entire pot of wine, but he still felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. He felt that he should really quarrel with Xiao Ziyi, and let this unknown person know who he was stealing.
had long since been praising the two of them for their merits, but he was too concentrated on drinking the wine, on the way, he received his grandfather's permission to sit by Mu Yefan's side, when he touched the crown prince's hands, Song Lingyi shuddered, why does his hands feel so cold, it was as though Mu Yefan's blood was all cold.
Knowing that the person who had arrived beside him was, Mu Yefan forced himself to look up. Upon seeing that it was Song Lingyi, he still did not say anything, and spoke in a trembling voice, then looked at Mu Beiche hesitantly, "What happened to His royal highness the prince, did he get sick? Although he managed to return victorious, his body is still important, do you need to tell the emperor about it?"
Mu Yefan did not speak, but instead, he braced himself and said, "Aunt Ling Yi, you should go back to your grandfather's side first, His royal highness the prince is not in a good mood, so it's better for you to not cause unnecessary trouble."
Originally, Song Lingyi wanted to say something, but she was immediately stopped by Mu Beiche, "Song Lingyi, if you still want to be the Empress, then obediently listen to me. There are some things that you can do, but there are some things that you can't do right now.
Song Lingyi nodded her head, although she was still unwilling, she did not dare speak carelessly, and looked at Mu Yefan with an even more terrified expression. She poured a cup of wine for Mu Yefan and went back to Song Xuan Wang, who saw his gloomy expression and asked, "What? The crown prince didn't give you any face? "
"No, the Crown Prince is a little drunk, I am a little worried for his health, Ling Yi always feels that the Crown Prince's health is not very good." Song Lingyi did not say what Mu Beiche had told him, but said half of what she knew about Mu Yefan's body condition.
The Song Xuan Wang said, "Ling Yi, when you and the crown prince are really married, you must worry about the crown prince. Actually, grandfather isn't at ease at all, but there's no other way around it, grandfather knows that you like Mu Yefan, but Mu Yefan's feelings for you may not be real, and a woman is often just a chess piece to men."
Song Lingyi was not happy, "Then Ling Yi is also a chess piece for Grandfather?"
"Ling Yi, don't be as headstrong as you are at home. No one can protect you in the palace, only you can protect yourself, I don't have any other children, only your granddaughter, His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts is my grandson, but she is not familiar with me. I'm worried that you will have a difficult life in the future."
"With grandpa here, would the crown prince really treat me badly?"
Looking at the naivety in Song Lingyi's eyes, Song Xuan Wang's heart felt heavier and heavier. She felt that whether it was the choice she had made that year or the one she had made now, she had been forced to do so.
When you were young, grandpa could pick you up with one arm, but now you're a big girl, grandpa can't always protect you. If there comes a day when grandpa dies, then you'll be the only one left in the palace, and the son you have can inherit the palace, you know?
"Grandpa, don't spout nonsense. You could have lived a hundred years, but you're only sixty now. Grandpa can still live for forty more years."
"You little girl, grandpa really can't do anything to you. Alright, you're about to get married. Don't be so sad. Smile properly. grandpa loves seeing you smile."
Song Lingyi nodded, and then continued, "After you enter the palace, you must still bring along Qian Ning. Qian Ning is a useful chess piece that I helped you cultivate since young.
Song Lingyi unwillingly agreed. Actually she felt that her grandfather seemed to be talking too much today.
On the other side, the atmosphere between Mu Beiche and his was also extremely strange.
"Ninth Brother, I know you want Xiao Bai, but right now, the emperor is speaking with such golden words, none of us thought that Xiao Ziyi would actually grant the emperor a marriage, so this matter has already been settled. Ninth Brother, don't be like this, although Xiao Bai is good, there might be a woman better than Xiao Bai in this world."
Mu Yefan did not pay attention to him, at this time, people were already coming one after another to toast the crown prince. The crown prince did not reject any of them, but even with a glance, Mu Yefan could tell that the crown prince was not in a good mood today.
It was unknown if the emperor truly didn't notice, or if he simply hadn't asked about the situation over here. Bai Yixuan drank a few cups, and the discomfort she felt was unavoidable; she hadn't raised her head to look at the person facing her at all, but she didn't know that the person in front of her was staring at her at all times, and that gaze seemed to want to devour her.
"Xiao Bai, if you're tired, tell me. I can bring you along first."
"Goodbye Zi Yi. You've already been targeted like this, so it's best not to make such a big fuss."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Since you're willing to drink it, then I'll risk my life to accompany my fiancée."
Because there was something wrong with the crown prince's situation, everyone pointed their cannons at Meng Tianmo. Meng Tianmo was miserable, even the many old masters in the army had never been drunk so much on wine before.
The banquet had only ended late into the night and Mu Yefan had already drunk a bit too much that he did not know what to do. The Emperor had followed Xiao Shunzi and the ministers had all left in groups of twos and threes, and Prime Minister Xiao knew that he could not control Xiao Ziyi, so he left with a heavy flourish. The only ones left were Xiao Ziyi, Meng Tianmo and the Mu brothers.
"Xiao Ziyi, you sure are capable." There was no place for Mu Beiche to release the fire in his body, and when he saw Xiao Ziyi's smiling face, he got angry.
"The Braveheart King is too kind." He cupped his hands and bowed, then looked at Bai Yixuan and asked, "Are you tired? Let's go home."
His voice was not loud, but it was not soft either, just loud enough for everyone in this place to hear him. Mu Beiche never realized that Xiao Ziyi had an infuriating skill that was so powerful.
"Xiao Ziyi, don't go too far." Following Mu Beiche's words was another teacup, but it was firmly caught by Bai Yixuan, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts, what does this mean?
"Xiao Bai, you have changed. Have you forgotten the agreements between you and Ninth Brother?"
"My prince, only the crown prince and I know about the matters between me and the His royal highness the prince. You shouldn't tell me that you know even more about it than the crown prince and I do, right?"
"How dare you."
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts, I brought my fiancee to congratulate the crown prince and General Meng in the first place. Since this place is inconvenient to look at, then I will be preparing to return. Tian Mo, seeing how drunk you are, do you need me to send you back?"
Meng Tianmo was initially drunk, but in the end, he was completely sober because of this argument. He never thought that the content inside would actually be so complicated, but it was not something he could handle.
"Bai Yixuan." The person who spoke was Mu Yefan. Originally, Mu Beiche had already gone to sleep, but was standing right under the candlelight. His face was pale white, and did not look human at all.
