Mo Rongzhan had finished reading all the memorials. He thought that Lu Yaoyao would stay in the palace for a few more days, so he planned to play chess with her today. However, when he came to the back palace, he found that she had already left the palace and returned to the Lu Family.
He was a bit disappointed that he couldn't see her, so he went to the prince's residence to see what Mo Rongyi was doing.
"What are you writing?" Mo Rongzhan walked over and asked when he saw that his brother was writing something seriously.
When Mo Rongyi saw that it was his brother, he quickly stood up and bowed. He pointed at the list on the table and said, "Brother, I'm writing invitations. Look, this is the list that Yaoyao wrote for me last night."
"She wrote all of them?" When Mo Rongzhan saw the contents, his face darkened. How did that girl know that the young masters of the families had good morals?
"Yes, Brother. Yaoyao is so amazing. She knows everything," Mo Rongyi sighed.
Mo Rongzhan didn't feel happy before. Instead, he felt like killing someone. "Don't let anyone know that Yaoyao gave these to you."
"Why?" Mo Rongyi asked in confusion.
"I said no," Mo Rongzhan said with a livid face. "After you finish writing the invitations, bring them to me."
Mo Rongyi saw that he didn't look good and didn't dare to ask more. He could only agree in a low voice.
"I'm leaving now." Mo Rongzhan snorted and strode out of the prince's residence.
Sanford hurried after him.
When Mo Rongzhan went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the ministers were still working. When they saw the emperor come in, they quickly knelt down and bowed.
"Continue with your work. I'm here to take a look," Mo Rongzhan said indifferently and sat down on the armchair.
The ministers glanced at Mo Rongzhan nervously. They didn't dare to waste any more time and quickly finished their work.
When they were resting, Mo Rongzhan looked at Minister Liu who had just married his daughter. "Minister Liu, before you married your daughter, did you carefully investigate all the young talents in the capital?"
Minister Liu froze and quickly lowered his head. "Your Majesty, I did. Investigating them all … is a bit exaggerated."
Prime Minister Xu said with a smile, "I heard that some families check all the young geniuses and find out what kind of person they are. Then, they give them to their daughters to choose."
"Is there really such a thing?" Mo Rongzhan frowned.
"That's true. Your Majesty, are you planning to marry Princess Furong?" Prime Minister Xu asked with a smile.
He arranged a marriage for Lu Yaoyao? Unless he was crazy, he wouldn't be willing to marry her to another man!
The reason why she knew so many things about the young masters of the aristocratic families was because the Lu Family had wanted to betroth her? Was that why he investigated the details of those people?
Thinking of this, Mo Rongzhan felt a fire burning in his chest, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.
"If you want to betroth Princess Furong, this subject can recommend someone to Your Majesty." Prime Minister Xu couldn't see Mo Rongzhan's anger. He thought that the emperor was worried about Lu Yaoyao's marriage.
Mo Rongzhan sneered, "Who does Prime Minister Xu want to recommend?"
"This minister feels that Marquis Jingning is a good candidate. Moreover, Marquis Jingning seems to be … quite concerned about the Princess." Prime Minister Xu said with a smile.
Tang Zhen? Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. He remembered that Lu Yaoyao had competed with Tang Zhen in hunting before. Could it be that Tang Zhen was moved by her?
"Your Majesty, this subject also has a candidate …" Others immediately said. Now there was only one princess in the whole Jin Country, and she was deeply liked by the Empress Dowager. Looking at the emperor's words, it seemed that he also valued Princess Furong. If she could become his son-in-law, she would naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Mo Rongzhan stood up and said coldly, "Princess Furong hasn't graduated from the Academy yet. There's no need to rush to betroth her. You can continue your work."
"…" The ministers were stunned. If he didn't want to betroth Princess Furong, then why did the emperor ask so many questions?
Mo Rongzhan left without looking back. He didn't even go to the Imperial study, but went directly to the bedroom in the back. When he thought that Lu Yaoyao was already considering a candidate for her husband, he couldn't wait to catch her back and lock her up in the palace.
"Your Majesty …" Fu De cautiously called out, "In fact, the Lu Family still has two girls waiting to be married. Perhaps it's prepared for them."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at Fu De coldly. "Withdraw!"
Fu De saw that the hostility in the emperor's eyes disappeared a lot at once. Knowing that he was not angry, he held back his laughter and retreated.
Mo Rongzhan suddenly felt lucky that Lu Yaoyao was Princess Furong. At least her marriage was not something the Lu Family could decide at will.
Otherwise … he really didn't know if he could stop her from marrying someone else.
Ye Zhen, who had already returned to the Lu Family, didn't know that Mo Rongzhan had been angry for a long time because of the list she wrote. Before she went to see Old Madam Lu, she was called by Lu Shiming.
"Your eldest brother's poisoning can't be told to the old lady. I'm afraid your grandmother won't be able to bear it." Lu Shiming whispered to Ye Zhen, "Wait for your eldest brother to come back."
"Dad, if my eldest brother's injury is stable, Doctor Qi will bring him back first." Ye Zhen said, although she desperately hoped that he would never come back.
Lu Shiming sighed softly. "The injury doesn't matter, but the poison …"
"There is Doctor Qi." Ye Zhen smiled and comforted Lu Shiming.
"Forget it, it's useless to regret what has happened. Go to the old lady's place and be careful what you say. Don't let the old lady hear any clues. No one in the family knows that Yan Zhi was poisoned." Lu Shiming said softly.
Ye Zhen also didn't want to provoke the old lady. She hated Lu Lingzhi, but she couldn't hate everyone in the Lu family, especially Lu Shiming and his wife. Without them to raise her sister, how could she be reborn as her sister today?
In the upper room, in addition to the Second Madam Lu, there were a few people Ye Zhen hadn't seen before. Old Madam Lu called her over and introduced them to her. They were people from Lu Lingzhi's uncle's family. When they heard that Lu Lingzhi had an accident, they all came over to say a few words of concern.
"Is this the newly conferred Princess Furong?" The woman sitting next to the Second Madam looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "Oh, it's like a character coming out of a painting."
When the others heard the words' Princess Furong ', they immediately got up and saluted.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Don't be so polite, everyone, please sit down."
The woman who just spoke was Lu Lingzhi's aunt, Madam Hu Shi. She had a plump figure and a smile on her face before she spoke. "We heard that Yan Zhi was injured, so we hurried over. Fortunately, it's not a big deal."
Old Madam Lu seemed a little tired to deal with them. She looked at Ye Zhen and asked, "Yao Yao, what news did you get from the palace?"
Ye Zhen smiled, "It's nothing. They said they would send my eldest brother back to the capital soon."
Hu Shi hurriedly said happily, "That's good. Our Yan Zhi is a lucky man."
Old Madam Lu nodded gently and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
