Chapter 681 Are You Here to See Me Laugh Too?
"Shut up!" Xiao Yue looked at Zhou Fei fiercely, "Stop gloating over my misfortune. I will never let you get what you want!"
Regardless of whether what Concubine Wu said just now was true or false, even if Emperor Xilin was not a playboy or a lecher, there was absolutely no way she would marry an old man of that age.
The person she wanted to marry was obviously the Ninth Prince of Xilin!
Thinking of Murong Yu's face, Xiao Yue felt her chest tighten and her heart was filled with depression.
She took it for granted and didn't bother to ask clearly, but no matter what, she couldn't marry the Emperor of Xilin, or a concubine. To put it bluntly, isn't that just a concubine?
Xiao Yue was extremely confused. Under the gaze of several people, she pushed away the eunuch who was blocking her.
The imperial edict fell to the ground, causing the eunuch who announced it to exclaim in surprise, but Xiao Yue didn't care about it and just ran out of her bedroom quickly.
"Mother, Xiao Yue wouldn't really go to look for father, right?" Xiao Lan asked.
"If she really dares to go to the emperor, that would be a great thing!" Concubine Wu snorted.
Now the imperial decree for the marriage has been issued, and the news has also been sent from Xilin. If Xiao Yue goes to the emperor at this time, not only will it not change anything, but it may also anger the emperor and make him disgusted.
"Lan'er, now you finally understand that your mother asked you to hurry up and get engaged because it's for your own good." Concubine Wu looked at her daughter and spoke in a low voice.
After a big fight with Xiao Yue on the palace road, Lan'er returned to her bedroom. She was a little resentful about the marriage she had arranged for herself, and felt unwilling to choose a husband like this.
Xiao Lan thought about Xiao Yue's appearance just now, and nodded quickly: "Mother, it was my fault. No matter what happens in the future, I will listen to you!"
"I'm glad you understand your mother's painstaking efforts." Concubine Wu said with satisfaction.
Concubine Zhou and Xiao Lin looked at them, but neither the mother nor the daughter said a word.
But in my heart, I was secretly glad that I had seized the opportunity to get engaged.
On the other side, Xiao Yue rushed all the way to the imperial study because of her unwillingness in her heart. However, when she arrived outside the imperial study and was about to ask for a meeting, she was a little afraid.
She knew very well in her heart that although Emperor Xiao kept saying that she was his daughter, when it came to the relationship between father and daughter, there was actually not much.
After all, if he could even give poisoned wine to his own son, he would naturally not be much better to his own daughter.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yue began to back out.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, she couldn't move again.
Go in, don’t dare.
Retreat, unwillingly.
It was not until the eunuch who had delivered the imperial eunuch's decree came back, saw Xiao Yue wandering outside the imperial study, walked into the study, and reported everything to Emperor Xiao that Emperor Xiao summoned Xiao Yue in.
In the imperial study, Emperor Xiao's face turned grim.
"Xiao Yue, you agreed to the marriage with your own mouth, but now you want to go back on your word. Do you really think that national affairs are a joke?"
"Father, I didn't know that the person I was going to marry was Emperor Xilin. He is so old, my daughter..."
"How dare you!" Emperor Xiao interrupted Xiao Yue in a harsh voice. "The Emperor of Xilin is the ruler of a country. How can you speak nonsense here? What's more, my age is almost the same as the Emperor of Xilin. According to what you said, am I also an old thing?"
Emperor Xiao was so angry that he swept the memorial in front of him to the ground.
The eunuch next to him said quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Xiao Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered all over and quickly lowered her head. "Father, I definitely don't mean that. Besides, you are different from the Emperor of Xilin. I heard that the Emperor of Xilin is very lustful and has countless concubines in the harem, and..."
"Asshole, you are getting more and more outrageous. It is normal for an emperor to have a large harem. I also have many concubines in my harem. Why, are you going to accuse me of lust and debauchery?"
The continuous scolding wiped out the courage Xiao Yue had mustered up just now. She could only keep repeating: "My daughter doesn't dare. My daughter has absolutely no such intention."
Emperor Xiao looked coldly at Xiao Yue, who was half lying on the ground in fear, and snorted, "Marriage is a major event concerning the two countries. As a princess, you should shoulder the responsibility. You said this yourself. What's more, you agreed to the marriage yourself. If you didn't agree from the beginning, this matter might have room for maneuver, but now the imperial decree has been issued, and the Xilin envoy has also received the news. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Whether you like it or not, there will be no change."
"Father..."
"I can give you one chance. I will pretend that I have never heard what you just said. You should stay in the palace and wait for your marriage. If you dare to talk nonsense again... I will never let you off easily!"
Not long after, Xiao Yue walked out of the imperial study in a daze.
As happy as I was when I left the imperial study, I feel so helpless now.
She no longer cared about the looks given to her by the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went. She just felt as if her feet were light and she couldn't understand how things had turned out like this.
When she first came here, she was full of confidence and felt that she could accomplish something big.
When she was clearly better than Xilin Kingdom and won the reputation of a talented woman, everyone looked at her with admiration or envy.
But now, she was forced to marry a lustful old emperor.
How did things turn out like this?
The weather today has been gloomy. With the sound of faint spring thunder, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
The raindrops fell on my face, feeling cold.
Xiao Yue shuddered again, but did not find a place to shelter from the rain, or quickly return to her bedroom. Instead, she continued to walk on the palace road in a daze.
A maid passing by carefully asked the princess if she wanted an umbrella, but Xiao Yue seemed to have heard nothing and walked past without saying a word. Seeing this, the maid didn't dare to say anything more. She could only stand there and watch Xiao Yue walk away, then quickly went to work with her umbrella.
Xiao Yue just kept walking like that until he reached a bend in the palace road. He seemed to have completely run out of strength, so he squatted down along the palace wall.
She squatted there dazed and numb until she felt a shadow covering her head.
She slowly raised her head and saw the umbrella above her and Jiang Suining who was holding the umbrella for her.
"Heh..." Xiao Yue managed to force a smile, "Are you here to laugh at me too?"
