"Mortal Li Youyun?"
The North Pole Celestial Emperor frowned and uttered the mortal's name.
"Your Majesty, this Li Youyun is just a mortal scholar. I don't know why Princess Yaoyue is willing to give herself to him. They have already given birth to a son and a daughter. Your Majesty, please understand," the Celestial Inspector reported.
At this moment.
The entire Celestial Emperor Palace was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to interrupt, because this was a huge scandal in the Celestial Court. If the Celestial Court's First Princess married a mortal, the entire Celestial Court would become a laughing stock.
If it were any other immortal, they would have just killed her. But Ye Yaoyue was Ye Tiandi's sworn sister. This matter was extremely thorny.
However, immortals and mortals could not marry. This was an iron law since ancient times. This matter had always been criticized, and could not be allowed to happen in the Celestial Court.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Old Minister go and invite Princess Yaoyue back, and then we can make a decision later?" Venus Taibai requested.
"Alright, Venus, I'll leave this matter to you. Quickly bring Yaoyue back to the Celestial Court. She cannot be allowed to stay in the mortal realm," Ziwei Tian Di instructed solemnly.
"Old Minister obeys," Venus Taibai accepted the order and left. He called out to the Celestial Inspector, and the two went down to the mortal realm.
"This matter cannot be publicized. If anyone spreads this matter to the outside world, I will punish them severely." Ziwei Tian Di said sternly, then waved his sleeves and left the Emperor's Throne. However, his eyes were filled with worry, and he was clearly not as calm as he appeared.
After Ziwei Tian Di left, the immortal and demon kings of the Celestial Court also dispersed. However, this matter was not a small matter, and it caused them to discuss it in private.
…
Dong Sheng Divine Continent, Ao Lai.
This was a small and peaceful village. At this moment, it was dusk, and every family was making a fire to cook. Strands of smoke rose from the kitchen, and children could be seen playing at the entrance of the village from time to time.
Lotus Village was the name of this village, and it was only a mortal village. At the end of the village, there was a thatched hut. The courtyard was surrounded by a fence, and some fruits and vegetables were planted there. There was a young man and a young woman working together in the garden.
"Husband, you should return to your room and rest. I'll plant the remaining seeds."
Ye Yaoyue was dressed in coarse sackcloth and her hair was tied into a bun. She held a hoe in her hand and was plowing the fields. She had a smile on her face as she spoke to the man beside her.
"Yue 'er, leave this kind of rough work to me. You should quickly return to your room and rest."
Li Youyun was dressed in a white sackcloth robe. He was about 20 years old, and he had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was scholarly and handsome. Although he could not be called a handsome man, he had a quiet and elegant feeling about him.
Ye Yaoyue hurriedly pushed Li Youyun back to the hut. "Husband, you are a scholar. You should still prioritize the imperial examinations. Husband, quickly go back and study. Leave this rough work to me."
"Yue 'er, you've suffered marrying me," Li Youyun said with an ashamed expression.
"It's not bitter, it's really not bitter. How can Yue 'er suffer when I can always be by your side?" Ye Yaoyue muttered to herself.
"Father, Mother, I'm hungry."
A pair of children about four or five years old poked their heads out of the hut and pouted at the couple.
"Mother understands. I'll immediately start a fire to cook." Ye Yaoyue smiled at her children and comforted them.
"Wife, I, Li Youyun, swear that when I pass the imperial examinations, I will definitely let you and your children live a life of luxury." Li Youyun pointed to the sky and made a vow. He tightly held his wife in his arms.
"Alright, quickly go and study. Yue 'er believes that husband will definitely pass the imperial examinations." Ye Yaoyue softly said.
Kacha!
Suddenly, a muffled thunder came from the sky. However, there were no dark clouds in the surroundings. This caused Ye Yaoyue's expression to change. She raised her eyes to look at the sky.
"Wife, it looks like it's going to rain. Why don't we plant these seeds tomorrow?" Li Youyun was only a mortal. How could he know the source of the muffled thunder? He thought that it was going to rain heavily.
"Husband, return to your room first. Yue 'er just remembered to send some mended clothes to Auntie Zhang. I'll be back soon."
Without waiting for Li Youyun to speak, Ye Yaoyue left the house. This caused Li Youyun to sigh helplessly. He felt even more guilty towards Ye Yaoyue. As a scholar, he was really useless. He had to rely on his wife to take care of everything at home.
Buzz!
As soon as Ye Yaoyue left the house, she turned into a golden light and soared into the sky. Her entire person disappeared from Lotus Village. If this scene was seen by Li Youyun, he would probably be extremely shocked.
In the sky.
Venus Taibai and the Sky Patrol Immortal Official stood motionless. As the golden light shot over, Venus Taibai looked at Ye Yaoyue with a wry smile.
"Princess Yaoyue, what do you want the Old Minister to do?" Venus Taibai sighed.
"Greetings, Venus."
Ye Yaoyue bowed. Although her cultivation was that of the Daluo Jinxian and Venus Taibai was only an Allheaven Golden Immortal, Venus Taibai was an important minister of the Celestial Court. Naturally, she couldn't neglect the proper etiquette.
"The Old Minister doesn't dare to accept the princess's courtesy. You'd better quickly return to the Celestial Court with the Old Minister." Venus Taibai turned away and didn't mention that Ye Yaoyue had given birth to a pair of children with a mortal.
"Venus, I'm sorry. Yaoyue can't return to the Celestial Court with you," Ye Yaoyue's eyes drooped and her voice trembled slightly. This proved that she wasn't calm.
"Princess!"
Venus Taibai sighed and said, "Do you know that you have given birth to a pair of children with a mortal? This has already brought shame to the Celestial Court. As long as you return to the Celestial Court with the Old Minister, Ziwei Tian Di won't blame you. The Celestial Court will also do his best to suppress this matter."
"Venus, I know that I have brought shame to the Celestial Court, but Yaoyue can't leave her husband and two children behind. Please apologize to Brother Ziwei on my behalf. Tell him that Yaoyue has let them down. From now on, I'm no longer the Princess of the Celestial Court," Ye Yaoyue said with tears in her eyes.
"Silly, you're silly."
Venus Taibai sighed and said, "Princess, oh Princess, what do you want the Old Minister to do? What do you want Ziwei Tian Di to do?
The Celestial Court has its own rules. If you break them, then others will follow suit. Won't the entire Celestial Court be in chaos? "
"Princess, listen to the Old Minister's advice. It's still not too late to return to the Celestial Court with me. If you wait until the Celestial Court sends Daluo Jinxian to capture you, this matter will blow up. Even if Ziwei Tian Di wants to protect you, His Majesty can only enforce the law impartially."
Venus Taibai advised earnestly, hoping that Ye Yaoyue would change her mind.
"Venus, Yaoyue knows that you have good intentions, but I already have a husband and children. I just want to spend the rest of my life with them. I'm sorry, but I can't promise you." Ye Yaoyue bowed to Venus Taibai.
