Long Live the Empress

Chapter 338: Marriage Granted on the Spot

"Lord Yue!" Kong Lin'an said sternly without waiting for Yue Hanwen to explain, "Lord Yue, as the biological father of Princess Jing'an, you don't even know where Princess Jing'an is in the past half month? What is she doing? Then how did we court officials know about it? Lord Yue, you are not trying to say that as a biological father, you are not as kind to your legitimate daughter as we are to outsiders, right?"

"Lord Kong is right! Your Majesty, yesterday morning, the common people on the road saw Princess Jing'an returning home to remember her grandmother Zhanlu, but she was stopped outside the door by Lord Yue. Not only was she not allowed to enter, but she was also scolded by a dozen servants holding sticks! May I ask Lord Yue, am I talking nonsense?"

"……this……"

"Have you been wronged?"

“……” Yue Hanwen was speechless. He raised his arm and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, thinking about how to crack it.

But how could Kong Linan give him this opportunity?

Yue Jinghao, such a beautiful and dazzling person, was bullied by such a biological father. He couldn't bear it!

The Crown Prince and Wei Zilin rarely chose to stand by and watch!

It's not that they don't want to vent their anger for Yue Jinghao, but Yue Jinghao is the daughter of an official family. If her mother's family is not of high status, she can't get a good marriage! Especially the royal family pays attention to the matching of family backgrounds! If Yue Hanwen is demoted, it will not be a good thing for them!

After all, Kong Linan had just entered the court and did not know how to conceal his emotions, and the resentment on his face was clearly visible.

Yan Liyuan saw it clearly and squeezed the purse with a little force.

Ah……

It’s not enough to make the Crown Prince and Wei Zilin worry about them, now here comes Kong Linan!

Let’s see how he deals with that little thing that attracts so many bees and butterflies when he gets back!

"My dear Minister Yue, what else do you have to say?" The old emperor was also furious. Yan Liyuan had just asked for the imperial decree to grant the marriage, and Yue Hanwen came up with this right after. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

Yue Hanwen heard the hostility in the old emperor's tone, and quickly knelt on the ground, saying: "Your humble servant... I know I was wrong!"

"Since you know you are wrong, I will not say any more! You will go to the Hanlin Academy to be a bookkeeper today!"

what?

The clerk of the Hanlin Academy?

A small-time official of the eighth rank?

Yue Hanwen felt the sarcastic looks of his colleagues around him, listened to their mocking voices, and thanked him with a dead heart.

From the eighth rank, he won’t even have the chance to attend court anymore…

"Your Majesty, those who deserve punishment should be punished, and those who have been wronged should be rewarded!" Although Yan Liyuan's voice was small, it made the hearts of everyone in the court tremble.

Yan Liyuan had just said his first sentence since he went to court, but the first thing he said was to ask for a reward on behalf of Yue Jinghao. Some of the smart ones started to exchange glances with each other!

It seems that this Nine Thousand Years Old is indeed the supporter of Miss Yue! When I go back, I will tell the young ladies in the mansion to interact more with Miss Yue!

The old emperor knew that Yan Liyuan was urging him to announce the imperial decree, and he couldn't help but laugh at Yan Liyuan in his heart! He always thought that he was cold-hearted, but he didn't expect that he would be so upset one day!

The old emperor was immersed in his own thoughts. Suddenly he realized that Yan Liyuan was looking at him. He coughed lightly and said, "Princess Jing'an is truly a very loyal and filial person. She is a role model for women in our country! Gold and silver are not worth being rewarded with..."

The Crown Prince, Wei Zilin and Kong Lin'an all frowned. Yue Jinghao was in the same position as the princess, and there was no more title to be given to her. What else could they give her but gold and silver?

The more they thought about it, the more nervous they became...

"I will grant Princess Jing'an to Jiuqiansui as his legal wife!"

boom……

The entire court was in complete silence...

Grant Princess Jing'an to Jiu Qian Sui as his wife?

Give the princess to a eunuch?

Is this... a reward?

Yan Liyuan looked at the stunned expressions of the crowd and burst into laughter!

He stood up from the gilded chair and bowed to express his gratitude.

Everyone woke up from Yan Liyuan's "sinister" laughter, and didn't know how to react when they saw Yan Liyuan thanking the old emperor so respectfully for the first time.

Kong Linan then looked at the legendary Nine Thousand Year Old Man. He was noble and had an extraordinary bearing. Although he had a smile on his face, Kong Linan could feel the murderous intent in the Nine Thousand Year Old Man's eyes... He really couldn't understand why the old emperor would give Yue Jinghao to such a wicked man!

"Father!" The Crown Prince spoke first, "Father, have you forgotten that you have allowed Princess Jing'an to choose her own marriage?"

"I must have consulted Jing'an before granting this marriage, so the prince does not need to worry!"

what?

Everyone was shocked again!

They originally thought that the marriage was a sudden idea of ​​the old emperor, but unexpectedly, it was Princess Jing'an who agreed to it...

The prince was even more incredulous. As the Lord of Chu, he had begged on his knees, and even said that the two of them had been privately married by the old emperor, but Yue Jinghao had not agreed. How could she agree to be with a eunuch...

Do not……

This is not true…

Kong Linan felt extremely heartbroken. All he could think of was Yue Jinghao's calm smile. He had never seen such an innate confidence before. Then he looked at Yan Liyuan, the murderer, and Kong Linan felt suffocated...

Compared to everyone else, Wei Zilin only frowned slightly, his big hands in his wide sleeves clenched tightly, but suddenly loosened: It is a good thing for Yue Jinghao to marry Yan Liyuan. No matter what Yan Liyuan does, he cannot change the fact that he is a eunuch! As long as he can capture Yue Jinghao's heart, as long as he can use her... with just a little bit of poison, Yan Liyuan can "die an untimely death", then everything in Qiansui Mansion will be his, right?

……

Yan Liyuan took in everyone's reactions and felt extremely satisfied!

When leaving the court, Yan Liyuan was in high spirits and accepted everyone's congratulations with good temper. However, he paused slightly when passing by Kong Lin'an, and then strode away.

He couldn't wait to go to the Yue Palace to announce the decree!
