Thinking of the demon clan's plan that he overheard in Ailao Mountain, Ji Chen's heart suddenly sank:

"Could it be that something happened to the Emperor?"

The imperial concubine was startled, and glanced:

"Your father is full of energy and loves to torment your mother every now and then. What could possibly be wrong?"

Ji Chen: “…”

Is this something he can listen to?

Seeing her son's dull demeanor, the imperial concubine sighed again:

"Chen'er, do you still remember that before you went to the world of cultivation, your father arranged a marriage for you with Mu Ling'er, the third princess of Dongchen Kingdom?"

This time, Ji Chen's heart sank to the bottom, and he was extremely anxious:

"Mother, regarding the marriage..."

"Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers, and this is also the case in our royal family." The imperial concubine did not wait for Ji Chen to finish his words, and continued, "It is also because you and the Third Princess of Dongchen are of similar age, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the relationship between the two countries is decent that this marriage was arranged. This is not a political marriage that is only arranged to stop a war.

We and the Emperor and Empress of Dongchen Kingdom are all optimistic about your perfect match.

I hope you can live in harmony and have a baby soon.

Mother knows that you must have fallen for her, otherwise, you wouldn't have chased her to the cultivation world just because she was favored by the leader of the Shangshan Sect and taken back to the Shangshan Sect as his personal disciple."

"Mother, I didn't!" Ji Chen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "I really want to protect the people, so I am determined to cultivate and seek the Tao!"

"Just make it up!"

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes at her son. "You don't even have any spiritual roots, and you're still cultivating immortality? What kind of immortality are you cultivating?"

Ji Chen: "...I now have spiritual roots, and they are top-grade golden spiritual roots. My cultivation has also broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core!"

"Is this true?"

In the Hongmeng Continent, the contact between the human world and the world of cultivation is quite frequent, and the imperial concubine naturally knows the levels of the cultivators.

Thinking of something, she sighed again:

"You're so deeply in love with Mu Ling'er that you even defied heaven to develop spiritual roots. You must have suffered a lot!"

After a pause, the imperial concubine suddenly seemed to have made up her mind. She changed her previous melancholy expression and suddenly stood up from the imperial concubine couch, her eyes full of determination.

"No! I have to tell your father that we don't agree to cancel this marriage!

A marriage between two countries is no joke! "

"and many more!"

Ji Chen finally grasped the key point and became excited. "Mother, you just said they want to cancel the engagement?"

The imperial concubine realized that she had just gotten excited and revealed something she wanted to hide. Fearing that Ji Chen would not be able to accept it, she quickly explained:

"Chen'er, don't be too sad. Since you like Mu Ling'er so much, even if it means risking our reputation, father and mother will help you realize your wish."

"Who said I like her?"

Ji Chen held the imperial concubine's hand tightly, fearing that if he missed her, she would run away and cause trouble:

"Break off the engagement, that's fine! I came back this time specifically to break off the engagement!"

The imperial concubine was stunned for a long time before she said unsurely:

"You... really don't like her?"

“Realer than real gold!”

"Then why did you follow her to the cultivation world right after she was taken away by the Shangshan Sect?"

"I've already said it, I'm going there to seek the immortals!"

"I see."

She had misunderstood for three whole years, and was depressed for a long time because of her son's cancellation of the engagement by Dongchen Kingdom.

"Well, since they have returned all the things, if we accept it, it means we allow them to cancel the engagement.

Tomorrow, let your father announce to the world that the marriage between the two countries will be cancelled.

Anyway, Dongchen and Beixiang are fighting so fiercely that they don’t have time to care about these things.”

Ji Chen responded quickly. Because he was concerned about Chu You and Shentu Yin, he chatted with the imperial concubine for a while and then hurried to the imperial garden.

Here, the imperial concubine asked her personal maid to bring the marriage certificate and other things that had been cancelled by the Dongchen Kingdom to her. She unexpectedly discovered that there was also a photo stone, and was even surprised:

"Why did you send me the photo stone?"

"My Lady, the messenger who broke off the engagement with Dongchen said that it was our Seventh Prince who broke his promise first and married another woman in the cultivation world. This was extremely disrespectful to our Third Princess, and that's why she angrily broke off the engagement.

The evidence in the photo stone was recorded by the three princesses themselves."

The imperial concubine's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and it was unclear whether it was out of guilt or excitement:

"Chen'er married another woman?!

How come he never mentioned it to us in his letters?"

The imperial concubine's voice rose: "Why didn't the emperor tell me?"

"The Emperor saw that you were in a bad mood when you heard about the 'broken engagement', so he didn't elaborate. He just told me to put the things away and give them to the Seventh Prince personally when he returns."

The personal maid explained everything:

"But the Emperor also said that if you ever ask, he will explain the whole story to you."

The imperial concubine understood and couldn't wait to order someone to open the photo stone.

Then I saw in the picture a very beautiful girl standing with Ji Chen, surrounded by several burly men.

Seeing the woman being taken away, Ji Chen suddenly announced loudly that he was the woman's husband.

The scene changed, and Ji Chen and the woman were both wearing bright red wedding dresses, paying homage to the heaven and earth, and then the scene stopped abruptly.

Although we didn’t see the scene of the couple bowing to each other, it has already become like this, so what else can they be but husband and wife?

"This kid! He didn't even tell us about such a big thing as getting married!"

The Imperial Concubine was both angry and excited. "I'm not a conservative mother who insists on being well-matched and following the parents' wishes. The girl's family is so wonderful! The marriage is already settled, and you didn't even bring her home for me and his father to see. How disrespectful to her!"

I don’t know who it was who just told Ji Chen that “marriage is decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers”?

The personal maid wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

At this moment, the eunuch who had just brought Ji Chen and the others into the palace saw the woman in the picture and felt that she looked familiar:

"Hmm? Isn't that woman Miss Chu You, the Seventh Prince's Junior Sister?"

"Chen'er's junior sister? Chu You? Did she enter the palace with us?"

The eunuch nodded and said, "Your Highness, Chu You entered the palace with the Seventh Prince. He is still in the Imperial Garden, seemingly chatting with those who claim to be cultivators. The Seventh Prince has also gone there."

"Are you serious? That's great!"

The imperial concubine stood up excitedly and said, "I'll go take a look too!"

Just after taking two steps, the imperial concubine realized something was wrong and hurried back, took the photo stone and said to herself:

"I'd better go find the Emperor first and tell him about this great news!

When Chen Er comes back, I must arrange his marriage! "
