After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

His Majesty looked at Concubine Jing.

Looking at Xu Jingye again, he already understood what they meant.

Although he never liked Concubine Jing, he was also not very happy with Xu Jingye.

After all, neither of these is what I want, they are both given to me by fate.

But Xu Jingye is her eldest prince after all, and now Xu Jingye has just reached the age for marriage, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. If Concubine Jing asked for a marriage for Xu Jingye, it would be reasonable.

He also didn't want to lose face for Concubine Jing.

So, even though he was physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to leave, he still looked at the two of them.

He frowned slightly, with a forced smile on his face.

"What do you want?"

Concubine Jing prostrated herself.

"Your Majesty, please grant Ye'er a marriage."

The emperor chuckled a few times. Although it was expected, he still felt a little surprised. He looked at the queen and then at Xu Jinghuai.

It was such a coincidence that I gave the second prince the marriage certificate just yesterday.

The eldest prince is here today too.

Do these two brothers have to get a marriage certificate at the same time?

"Is there anyone you like?"

His Majesty asked.

Concubine Jing raised her body and looked at the emperor. Her usually dull face was suddenly filled with a smile.

"Your Majesty, yes."

"Tell me about it." The emperor looked at Concubine Jing's unusual smile and felt a little curious in his heart.

I don’t know which girl this is, but Concubine Jing, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and doesn’t like to talk and laugh, is so concerned about her.

Concubine Jing glanced at Xu Jingye, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xu Jingye's mouth.

"Replying to Your Majesty, this is Yan Yunshu, the daughter of the Prime Minister."

The emperor's forced smile was frozen on his face.

He was stunned.

Yan Yunshu?

Isn’t she the woman he gave to Huai’er yesterday?

How come Ye'er actually fell in love with her? It's not impossible for her to fall in love with him. The throne is to be given to Huai'er. Even if Ye'er got the help of Elder Wen because of Yan Yunshu, the throne is still Huai'er's.

There is no doubt about this.

But, Yan Yunshu has already been assigned to Huai'er...

The emperor looked at her with a deep gaze, and did not reply immediately, but looked at Concubine Jing and Xu Jingye inquiringly.

He then turned his gaze to the second prince Xu Jinghuai.

Xu Jinghuai looked indifferent, as if he was saying, "It's up to you to do whatever you want. At worst, he will continue to hang out with the man."

This inevitably made the emperor feel panicked. He sighed and looked at the queen.

The Queen shook her head at him.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said.

"The Prime Minister's daughter, Yan Yunshu...her marriage is quite special, involving the agreement between your grandfather and Elder Wen. Therefore, your father cannot unilaterally grant her a marriage. He must consult Elder Wen and obtain her consent."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jingye, whose face was becoming paler and paler.

He smiled and said, "Ye'er is now of marriageable age. Why don't you let your father arrange another marriage for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingye's expression froze, and a hint of gloom flashed across his gentle face.

Soon, he smiled gently again and replied, "Father, what I mean is that as long as Yan Yunshu agrees, it will be fine, right?"

The emperor's fingers trembled slightly. He quickly glanced at Xu Jinghuai, whose face became increasingly worse, fearing that he would tear up the marriage certificate and give up his idea of having a grandson.

After hesitating for a while, he said.

"No, we'll discuss it later."

Xu Jingye was about to speak when His Majesty stood up and said, "Alright, I'm tired. Let's end the banquet here."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Only the Queen, Concubine Jing, Xu Jinghuai and Xu Jingye were left, looking at each other in bewilderment.

It was said to be a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, but because there were only the Queen and Concubine Jing in the harem, and they had few children, there were only four or five people in total.

So such a huge hall was still very deserted.

The sound of those words could be amplified several times in the silent hall.

Even the sound of breathing, I wish I could hear it.

"Then, let's all go."

The queen also stood up. Seeing this, Xu Jinghuai saluted the queen. After the queen left, he turned around and looked at Concubine Jing and Xu Jingye.

When his eyes, as sharp as a blade, fell on Concubine Jing, her face, which was as calm as dead water, suddenly showed several layers of panic ripples.

Concubine Jing stood up and looked at Xu Jinghuai with a frown.

Her intuition told her that Xu Jinghuai had something to say to her, and it must be something extremely harsh.

Now, Xu Jingye was right beside her, and she could have taken Xu Jingye away from the hall, but thinking that this person was Xu Jinghuai, she decided to stay and listen to what he had to say to her.

So, she turned to Xu Jingye and said, "Ye'er, go first. Mother still has some words to tell the banquet maid."

Xu Jingye glanced at Xu Jinghuai who was not far away, and said worriedly, "What can I say to my mother and the palace maid?"

Concubine Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "There are a few cakes just now, they are very good. Mother wants to instruct them here to change the tea and snacks for Mother and add those."

"Even so, it's not too late to get the menu for today's banquet after returning to Jinghua Palace and then give the orders." Xu Jingye was puzzled and looked at Xu Jinghuai again.

The hall was silent, with only the sounds of busy palace maids and eunuchs.

He didn't understand why Xu Jinghuai didn't leave.

My mother refused to leave because of such a small matter as the pastries.

"Since mother is already here, I'd better give the instructions earlier, so that we don't have to go all the way here and waste time." After saying this, Concubine Jing looked around and whispered, "Ye'er, mother has something important to deal with."

After saying that, Concubine Jing stuffed a jade pendant into Xu Jingye's hand and shook her head at him.

"The emperor's attitude is strange today, and my mother is now helpless in the palace. Ye'er needs to make plans as soon as possible."

Xu Jingye felt the warm texture of the jade pendant in his palm, and his heart sank.

He took another look at Xu Jinghuai who was walking towards the palace gate, and then agreed to leave.

After Xu Jingye's figure disappeared at the palace gate.

Concubine Jing caught up with Xu Jinghuai outside the palace.

Xu Jinghuai glanced at her, gathered his sleeves, and said.

"What's the matter, Concubine Jing?"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

As Concubine Jing spoke, her face was still showing an unconcealable nervousness, and her voice was trembling slightly.

Xu Jinghuai sneered.

"Your Majesty, are you afraid of me?"

Concubine Jing pretended to be calm, but her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am afraid of your Highness for what he will do."

"Oh, really?" Xu Jinghuai glanced behind Concubine Jing and said, "The ghost from another world who, like Concubine Jing, had taken over someone else's skin has died. I wonder if the next one to die will be the Empress?"

Concubine Jing was suddenly struck by lightning. She looked at Xu Jinghuai in shock, gritted her teeth, and still abided by the most important rules.

"I don't understand what the Second Prince is talking about."

That's right, as long as she abides by this rule, even if she dies, she can still change her skin. Although changing her skin means that she will no longer have any special abilities.

But now she was facing Xu Jinghuai. She didn't ask for much, as long as she was alive. Moreover, as long as she was alive, with her ability to understand the future information in the book, she could still use all means to climb to her current position and continue to plan.

As if he could see clearly what she was thinking, Xu Jinghuai approached Concubine Jing, staring at her with his pair of cold, auspicious phoenix eyes.

"It doesn't matter if the skin dies, we can always replace it, right? But who knows if the next skin the Queen will replace will be a stray dog that fell into the water, or a stink bug in the gutter?"

Concubine Jing staggered back a step.

"What does your Highness mean?"

Xu Jinghuai snorted coldly, stood up straight, and smiled coldly.

"You don't have to admit it, I have plenty of ways to deal with it."
