Chapter 692 Murong Yu's meeting
Xiao Yue's words made Wei Yao and Lu Yan look at each other. It seemed that Sui Ning was right. The Fifth Princess would indeed immediately propose to admit girls.
However, according to Sui Ning's guess, the emperor would not agree so easily.
They each withdrew their gazes, continued to lower their heads and said nothing, waiting for Emperor Xiao's reaction.
Emperor Xiao looked at the anxious Xiao Yue and shook his head, "There is no need to be so anxious about this matter. The most important thing right now is the marriage."
"Father, since it was my daughter who proposed the girls' academy, I hope to see girls enrolled in school with my own eyes before I leave Beiyang. This is my daughter's last wish." Xiao Yue spoke quickly, with anticipation and pleading on her face.
She has already made arrangements at Tianyin Pavilion. When the girl enters school, all kinds of praise for herself will spread. Then she can use the rumors and the people's goodwill to maybe postpone the marriage or change the candidate.
Xiao Yue gritted her teeth secretly. Although she knew that the possibility of success of doing so was very small, there was no other way now.
"Yuer, your father is very pleased that you care about those girls who cannot go to school. However, the Xilin envoys have stayed in the imperial city for quite some time. It is time for them to return. As a princess married to a foreign country, you will naturally leave with them. I am afraid you will not have the chance to see those girls go to school."
As long as the Xilin envoys stayed in the imperial city, he would not be able to feel completely at ease, so it would be better to let them leave as soon as possible.
Emperor Xiao's words made Xiao Yue panic.
She had been working very hard these days, arranging the affairs of the girls' academy quickly together with Jiang Suining and others, all for the purpose of enrolling girls. If she couldn't wait for this opportunity, all her previous arrangements would be in vain!
"Father, I don't think the marriage is that urgent. But the women's academy..."
"Nonsense, the marriage is related to the relationship between the two countries, which is naturally much more important than the women's academy." Emperor Xiao frowned and interrupted Xiao Yue. Seeing that the latter's expression was really ugly, he softened his tone and comforted her, "Yuer, don't worry, after the women's academy is officially launched, I will naturally send someone to send you a message. What you have to do is to marry Xilin well. As a bond to maintain the relationship between the two countries, your contribution will never be forgotten by me and Beiyang Kingdom."
Under normal circumstances, this gentle tone would easily make people feel the warmth of a father. But at this moment, to Xiao Yue, these words sounded like hands pushing her into a deep pit.
Be it the gentle tone or the praise for merits, it was all just to make her marry obediently.
After I get married, after a long time, maybe few people will remember me, let alone any achievements.
She bit her lip and decided to try again, kneeling down in front of Emperor Xiao.
"Father, I know that marriage is a big deal, and I have already agreed to go, but my only wish is to see those girls go to school. I ask you to allow me to fulfill my last wish, as I am about to leave my country and go to Xilin."
Xiao Yue leaned forward and kowtowed seriously to Emperor Xiao.
"This..." Emperor Xiao frowned and looked at Xiao Yue, his expression was really hesitant, "Yuer, although the women's academy has been opened, it is not an easy task to recruit girls to study. I am afraid that even if I agree to your request, as long as Xilin is in a hurry to return, you will still have no chance in the end..."
"As long as your Majesty agrees to your daughter's wishes, that's enough. If the rest really doesn't work out, then I can only regard it as my daughter's destiny that she cannot fulfill her wish." Xiao Yue quickly spoke up to take over Xiao Di's words. She seemed to be afraid that Xiao Di would regret it again, and she did not forget to add, "Thank you, your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"
Emperor Xiao choked and looked at Xiao Yue with complicated eyes. Finally, he sighed lightly, took a step back and did not continue speaking.
"Well, if that's the case, then you should hurry up and recruit girls to attend. But if Xilin wants to leave, you must not delay."
"Yes, daughter obeys!" Xiao Yue kowtowed to express her gratitude.
After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Yue couldn't wait to walk far, so she began to discuss with Jiang Suining and others how to promote the women's academy and encourage those girls to sign up to study in the academy.
"These are probably the points that this princess can think of right now. In the end, the most important thing is to be quick, and..." Xiao Yue paused, "And since this women's academy is promoted because of this princess, I hope you can use my name more when recruiting students."
"Princess, you can rest assured about this. We have already discussed it. The greatest credit will definitely go to you." Wei Yao looked at Xiao Yue and said.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
It's not that she wants to take credit, but she really needs the fame right now.
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess, although the emperor has agreed, Xilin may still be a variable."
Judging from what happened just now, the emperor only agreed reluctantly because of what the princess said was her last wish.
But according to common sense, the Xilin envoys are about to leave. Even if the emperor agrees, as long as the Xilin people leave the imperial city, Xiao Yue will naturally have to leave with them.
Xiao Yue's expression darkened. "This is exactly what this princess is most worried about right now."
She could still use her identity as a daughter to get a little obedience from Emperor Xiao, but after what happened last time, Xilin must be very unhappy with her. Even if she gave up her dignity and begged them to stay in the imperial city for a while longer, she was afraid that her request would not be granted.
"Princess, princess..."
Qiao Fu appeared not far away, and her call interrupted the conversation of several people.
Xiao Yue looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Qiao Fu, so she waved to her to come forward.
"Why are you not staying in the palace? What happened to you coming here?"
Qiao Fu glanced at Jiang Suining and the others, hesitated for a moment, and lowered her voice to Xiao Yue and said, "Princess, I just received news that the Ninth Prince of Xilin wants to meet you?"
"What?" Xiao Yue was stunned, and then her face quickly darkened. "Damn it, Murong Yu actually had the nerve to ask me out. Could it be that he thinks his schemes against me are not enough? What else does he want to do?"
