Zhao Ning and Mo Rongyi were about to get married.
As the Emperor's only twin brother, Mo Rongyi's marriage was a major event. The entire capital was in an uproar, and the level of excitement was no less than the Emperor's wedding. This was also an effect that Mo Rongzhan had deliberately created.
But why was Mo Rongyi marrying the Princess of Qi?
Why was it Mo Rongyi?
After Zhao Ning's entourage entered the capital, they were arranged to stay in the guest pavilion. It was not until the auspicious day that everyone found out that their Princess was not here to be an Imperial Consort, but to be married to the Little Princess of Jin.
Immediately, a minister went to find Mo Rongzhan to argue. Mo Rongzhan calmly said that the original purpose of the marriage proposal was for the Little Prince. Didn't Zhao Yong say that only if he personally went to Qi would he agree to marry the Princess to him as an Imperial Consort? Since he did not go to Qi, it was naturally not to marry the Imperial Consort. Moreover, it was clearly written in the letter that it was the Little Prince of Jin who went to propose.
Damn! They had been tricked by the Emperor of Jin!
The ministers were all dumbfounded. They had already sent the Princess to Jin, did they have to send her back?
Thus, they hurried to find Zhao Ning to discuss what to do. Both Qi and Jin had already sent troops to Xi Liang. They were already in an alliance, how could they make such a scene?
"I will marry." Zhao Ning faced the Qi ministers and calmly stated his wish, "Since we're already in Jin, it doesn't matter who I marry."
"How can that be, the Emperor will not agree." The status of an Imperial Consort was higher than that of a Princess. Moreover, marrying the Emperor was very different from marrying a Prince.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "The one to marry is me, not Imperial Father. Do you want to see the Jin and Qi go to war? For the sake of the alliance, even if I am unwilling, I must marry. "
The young man who had been standing beside Zhao Ning calmly said, "This matter shall be decided by the Princess."
"Chief Steward, without the Emperor's consent, how can we marry the Princess to the Jin King?" The minister immediately asked in displeasure.
This young man was Lu Lingzhi, whom Zhao Yong had arranged to be by Zhao Ning's side. However, there was no longer Lu Lingzhi in this world. There was only the young steward who was deeply trusted by the Emperor of Qi, Lin Yan.
Zhao Ning glanced at him, "I believe that even if you were to report this matter to Imperial Father, Imperial Father would have the same opinion."
The ministers had already been instructed by Zhao Yong to listen to the Chief Steward's orders when they arrived at the Jin Kingdom. When they heard Lin Yan say so, they could only shut their mouths. They couldn't help but wonder where this Lin Yan had come from to obtain the Emperor's trust. Moreover, the Emperor seemed to treat him as a trusted aide. Along the way from the Qi Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom, this person was also mysterious and cold.
After dismissing the officials who were escorting the bride, Lu Lingzhi calmly looked at Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning was also looking at him. This chief steward of the dowry that was sent to her side didn't have an outstanding appearance. For a long period of time, his face was pale. Recently, it seemed to have improved a little. However, although he looked ordinary, he had an aura that couldn't be ignored. Zhao Ning felt that to be able to become the person that father emperor trusted so much, he must have some ability, so she didn't want to have any disagreements with this Lin Yan.
"The Princess seems to have long known that the person she was going to marry was Mo Rongyi, and not the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom." Lu Lingzhi smiled lightly as he looked at Zhao Ning. On the way here, he already had some suspicions. The exchange between Zhao Ning and Mo Rongyi was too strange. Coming to the capital was just as he had guessed.
He didn't tell Zhao Yong about his suspicions, because he felt that no matter who Zhao Ning married, as long as it was in the capital, it wouldn't affect him much. If she married Mo Rongyi, he would be even more happy to see it happen. It would be more convenient for him in the future.
"Chief Steward Lin, I don't quite understand what you're saying." Zhao Ning's eyes were filled with doubt. She would never admit that she had long known that she was going to marry Mo Rongyi.
Lu Lingzhi's plain face flashed a faint smile, "Regardless of whether you knew or not, the Emperor will be very angry about this matter. Even if we cooperate with the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Could it be that if I become the Imperial Consort, Imperial Father will forever be on good terms with the Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Ning asked.
"The Princess has her own choice. Since I am the Princess's servant, I will naturally listen to the Princess." Lu Lingzhi lowered his eyes and said. This was good. If Zhao Ning became the Imperial Consort, she wouldn't have to live in the palace. He would be able to do more things in the capital, and he would have more freedom.
"Very good." Zhao Ning took a deep breath. She was actually still worried that she would be sent back to the Qi Kingdom. If she couldn't marry Mo Rongyi and returned to the Qi Kingdom, then she would have to face even more difficulties.
Lu Lingzhi looked at Zhao Ning, "Three days from now is the Princess's wedding day. Princess, please rest well."
"Chief Steward Lin, you were sent by Imperial Father to be by my side, right?" Zhao Ning looked at the eunuch chief and asked. His current status was that of a chief steward. In the future, when she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he would only be a steward for her dowry, and wouldn't have much future prospects. "Now that I can't become the Imperial Consort, and can't enter the palace, are you disappointed?"
"The Princess misunderstands. I am loyal to the Princess of the Qi Kingdom, not the Imperial Consort or the Imperial Consort of the Jin Kingdom. No matter what the Princess's identity is, it is all the same to me." Lu Lingzhi said lightly.
When Zhao Ning heard this, she smiled and nodded, "Good."
"Then I will go and arrange for the wedding in three days." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice. They no longer needed to send people into the palace to confront Mo Rongzhan. Mo Rongzhan clearly didn't want to marry the Princess of the Qi Kingdom. What did he want to prove to Yao Yao? Yaoyao was already dead. Could his actions bring Yaoyao back?
After leaving Zhao Ning's place, Lu Lingzhi immediately sent people back to report this matter to Zhao Yong.
Three days later, on the wedding day of the Princess of the Qi Kingdom, the entire capital was filled with a joyous atmosphere. Mo Rongzhan personally went to the Prince's Mansion to drink the wedding wine, and then ordered the Emperor to personally lead the troops.
"Your Majesty, now that the Qi Kingdom has sent troops to Xiliang, even if you don't personally lead the troops, you can still force the Northern Dark Kingdom to retreat." Tang Zhen said in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the bright moonlight, "What I want is not only to force the Northern Dark Kingdom to retreat."
Tang Zhen knew that he couldn't change his mind, so he had to agree in a low voice.
"Go to Prince Qin's Mansion." Mo Rongzhan held a pouch in his hand, and his deep eyes flashed with a cold light.
Today, seeing the scene of Prince Yi's Mansion decorated with lanterns and streamers, he seemed to see the former Prince Qin's Mansion. He wanted to go there in person.
In the Prince Qin's Mansion, in the small garden at the back, where the character "Happiness" was still hung, he finally found all the lost memories.
His Yao Yao, his Ye Zhen, his Imperial Consort, his Empress …
It turned out that she was the only light in his life. She left and took away his soul.
Even if he was given the whole world, what was the use?
