880 Bridal Chamber (3)

“You’re right.” After a while, Emperor Yong Le replied, “But time is running out.”

“It doesn’t matter who Jingxing marries. I don’t want to control him, but he can’t bring back a variable. That woman’s identity is too special. If Jingxing listens to her, it might change the situation in the future. I won’t allow such a thing to happen.”

“There’s no time.” Emperor Yong Le’s voice was deep. “For the sake of the country and the great cause, I can sacrifice anything and be ruthless.”

He continued, “Let the two of them come to the palace tomorrow. I want to see what kind of woman bewitched him. I want to remind him not to forget his identity just because he stayed in Ming Qi for two years.”

With that, he stood up and walked down the long stairs, walking out of the quiet hall. Empress Xiande frowned slightly.

Empress Xiande stood rooted to the ground, her eyes filled with sadness. A moment later, she sighed and walked out.

…

There was only one prince in the Daliang Dynasty, and that was Prince Rui, Emperor Yong Le’s biological brother. This Prince Rui’s identity was very mysterious. It was said that he had been traveling around the world with a master since he was young, so almost no one had seen him. Even Eunuch Deng, who had been with Emperor Yong Le for the longest time, knew nothing about him.

Two years ago, there was suddenly news that Prince Rui had returned to Long Ye. At the altar, the people were able to see Prince Rui’s face. He was indeed peerlessly handsome, causing all the ladies in Long Ye to fall head over heels for him.

However, at first, everyone was suspicious of Prince Rui’s sudden appearance. They wondered if he was an imposter. However, later on, they thought that the royal family was meticulous, so they probably wouldn’t make such a mistake. Moreover, Prince Rui looked like the empress dowager and Emperor Yong Le.

After Prince Rui returned to Long Ye, he reinstated his status as a prince and went to imperial court with the officials. Some of the officials objected, saying that Prince Rui had not been involved in the state affairs for so many years and knew nothing about the situation in the Daliang Dynasty. How could they let him participate in the matters of the imperial court? Emperor Yong Le was very angry and even punished a few officials who made a fuss. However, most of the officials objected. Emperor Yong Le could not punish them one by one.

Later, Prince Rui settled a few difficult matters that the imperial court had been dragging on for a long time. Therefore, the objections gradually subsided. The officials could no longer say that he knew nothing about the state affairs. He clearly knew a lot. He had not been in Long Ye for so many years and had not participated in the state affairs, but he was capable.

In short, in the eyes of the people of the Daliang Dynasty, Prince Rui was a good-looking, good-tempered, and capable young man. Most importantly, he was very rich.

For example, Prince Rui’s mansion was as gorgeous as the palace.

Emperor Yong Le was very tolerant of his younger brother, so he did not blame Prince Rui for being extravagant. However, the commoners passing by would occasionally stare at the door of Prince Rui’s mansion and wonder who would be so lucky as to marry Prince Rui.

Unexpectedly, Prince Rui actually married a girl from Ming Qi.
