Long Live the Empress

Chapter 263 The Princess Arrives

Yuefu

After the chief eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he bowed to Yue Jinghao with a smile on his face, "Let me congratulate the county lady first!"

Yue Jinghao suddenly felt that something was not going well, so she took the opportunity to send the senior eunuch away and handed the prepared plaster to the junior eunuch, "I have prepared these medicines for you a long time ago. Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise I would have to find a way to go to the palace to deliver them to you!"

The eunuch smiled so hard that his face was wrinkled. He whispered in Yue Jinghao's ear, "The prince has asked the emperor for permission to marry..."

Yue Jinghao's eyebrows twitched. She was not worried about this matter at the moment, but she unconsciously remembered what Yan Liyuan said a while ago: Within a month, you will enter the Qiansui Mansion...

"Thank you for your advice, father-in-law. Please go ahead, I will be there soon!"

Yue Jinghao personally sent the eunuch onto the carriage. When the carriage went away, Lao Ding drove the green-topped carriage slowly over.

"Go to the Princess's Mansion."

Following Yue Jinghao's instructions, Lao Ding whipped the horse-drawn carriage.

eldest princess mansion

"Your Highness, Princess Jing'an County Lady requests an audience." The maid reported.

The princess quickly put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Please come in!"

Yue Jinghao was wearing a suit of silver cloud satin today, and she had no makeup on her face, which made her look very pitiful and weak.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"Get up quickly~" Although the eldest princess had spoken, Yue Jinghao still knelt there with her head down, showing no intention of getting up.

"My maid...my maid..."

Yue Jing opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know how to start, and her voice was choked up...

"Good child, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me quickly!" The eldest princess helped Yue Jinghao up with a distressed look and patted her hands comfortingly.

"That's it..." Yue Jinghao bit her lips and her face turned frighteningly pale.

Who is the eldest princess? Looking at Yue Jinghao's expression, you can understand most of it. "That old man is looking for a marriage for you? I have already warned him that I will decide your marriage! How dare he disobey?"

"It's not my father... it's... the Emperor wants to grant me a marriage..." Yue Jinghao choked up and told the whole story, which made the princess very angry.

"Humph! It was the Crown Prince who insisted on breaking off the engagement with you, making you the laughing stock of the entire capital! He just took your half-sister as his concubine a few days ago, and today he comes to ask for a marriage again? What exactly does he want to do? Huh? Does he want to emulate Ehuang and Nvying? Where does he want you to be?"

Yue Jinghao felt indescribably moved when she saw that the princess was really angry.

"Don't be angry, it's all my fault... I shouldn't have..."

The princess patted her hands and said softly, "It's not your fault! You go first, I'll be there soon!"

Yue Jinghao kowtowed deeply to the princess before hurriedly getting on the carriage.

"Miss, if the princess's words don't work, what should we do?" Manju was so anxious that she almost cried. She didn't want her young lady to marry a man like that, even though he was the crown prince...

Yue Jinghao sighed, rubbed his brows and said, "Then we have only one last step..."

Manju didn't understand what Yue Jinghao said, but when she heard that Yue Jinghao had a way out, she was not so scared anymore.

royal palace, royal study

When Yue Jinghao entered, the old emperor, Yan Liyuan and the prince were sitting in silence.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

The old emperor did not let Yue Jinghao stand up. He just stared at her intently. After a long while, he said, "Princess Jing'an, are you related to the prince?"

Yue Jinghao darkened her eyes, and under the prince's expectant gaze, she answered, "Yes!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Liyuan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the jade ring on his hand was almost crushed by him.

Without waiting for the old emperor to ask again, Yue Jinghao answered: "In public, the prince is the prince of Wei State, in private... please forgive me for my unreasonable behavior..."

"You are innocent!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Personally... the prince is my brother-in-law!"

……

Such an answer stunned the three people present!

The prince immediately knelt on the ground and looked at Yue Jinghao, "Princess Jing'an, don't forget, we were engaged before!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that was in the past!" Yue Jinghao did not give the Crown Prince any face and retorted directly.

"You..." The prince was about to say something when he heard the eunuch report: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived~"

Yan Liyuan glanced at Yue Jinghao and couldn't help laughing in his heart: This little thing is really smart!
