Chapter 213 Stop bothering me
Zhao Yu walked past Fu Yansheng while speaking, and whispered, "Fu Yansheng, I think you should just forget it. We are about to get married."
Fu Yansheng's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Zhao Yu's receding back, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.
In the hall, Ling Mohui was fidgeting until Zhao Yu and Fu Yansheng appeared one after another, and then her heart was slightly settled.
Fu Yansheng's face was gloomy. Obviously, Zhao Yu had said something to him in private, which made her heart full of speculation.
As the crowning ceremony of the crown prince officially began, the entire ceremony was solemn and dignified.
After the ceremony, guests presented gifts one after another, and the scene was very lively.
Taking this opportunity, Emperor Daqing announced the appointment of the Crown Princess, pushing the atmosphere to another climax.
"I heard that Your Majesty has newly promoted a princess and granted her the imperial surname. I am very curious. I wonder if I can have the honor of seeing Princess Changle's beautiful face?"
The person asking the question was Sheng Xuanzhi, a prince from the Shuolan tribe. Ling Mohui had met him once when she was in Northern Frontier, and wondered if he still remembered her.
Ling Mohui held her breath unconsciously, waiting nervously for the answer.
At this time, the voice of Emperor Daqing sounded: "Princess Changle, why don't you step forward and greet Prince Shengxuan?"
Ling Mo stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall. She first saluted respectfully to Emperor Daqing, then bowed slightly to Sheng Xuanzhi, her manners dignified and graceful.
Sheng Xuanzhi smiled broadly, looked at Ling Mohui with burning eyes, and praised: "Princess Changle is truly a beauty, unforgettable."
"I wonder if my Shuolan tribe is lucky enough to marry a beauty like the princess?"
Sheng Xuanzhi's eyes were full of anticipation as he stared at Ling Mohui, as if he had already regarded her as his own.
"No!"
Fu Yansheng's voice suddenly sounded, decisive and his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Sheng Xuanzhi turned to look at Fu Yansheng, with a playful smile on his face: "If I remember correctly, Fu Shoufu should be outside the court officials, right? Besides, Fu Shoufu is already married, does he still want to compete with me for the position of princess?"
There was a hint of provocation in his tone.
Facing Sheng Xuanzhi's questioning, Fu Yansheng chose to remain silent, but his deep eyes were filled with complex emotions that were difficult to fathom.
Ling Mohui frowned slightly, revealing a barely perceptible worry. Then he slowly knelt down, speaking in a cold but firm voice: "Your Majesty, my daughter is already engaged. This is something my mother, Princess Anping, knows about. I was too busy with trivial matters recently to report this to Your Majesty in time. Please forgive me."
"Oh? Princess Changle is already married?"
There was a hint of surprise in Emperor Daqing's voice, and he turned his gaze to Zhao Yuezhao, his eyes full of inquiry.
Zhao Yuezhao hurriedly stepped forward and answered respectfully, with a hint of apology in her tone: "Your Majesty, the marriage was indeed recently decided. I was negligent and failed to report it to Your Majesty immediately. It is truly my fault."
Emperor Daqing nodded gently and waved his hand magnanimously, indicating that Ling Mohui and Zhao Yuezhao could leave. "In this case, it will make Prince Shengxuan feel a little regretful. Our princess is also talented and beautiful. Prince may wish to think about it again and again. If you have a suitable candidate in mind, I will immediately issue an order to grant the marriage."
Prince Sheng Xuanzhi raised a gentle smile and responded humbly and politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but Sheng Xuanzhi already has someone in his heart. Since I am not destined to be with you, I will not force it. I hope the friendship between our two countries will last forever."
As the crowning ceremony of the crown prince came to a successful conclusion, Ling Mohui quietly left the palace and stepped into the carriage that had been waiting outside.
The carriage was empty, with only her there, while Zhao Yuezhao was kept by the emperor to elaborate on the details of the marriage.
How could Zhao Yuezhao know the tacit understanding between her and Zhao Yu that did not require any words?
Her perfunctory attitude towards Sheng Xuanzhi was just a superficial social interaction.
But even so, superficial etiquette must always be maintained to be flawless.
Ling Mohui sat in silence in the car for a moment, feeling a little uneasy.
Soon, Zhao Yu appeared outside the car door and he jumped into the car lightly.
"Why isn't Mother with us?"
Ling Mohui asked doubtfully.
Zhao Yu replied briefly: "The emperor asked mother to have dinner with him, so we will go ahead."
Just as the carriage was about to start, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Fu Yansheng hurried over and got on the carriage without being invited.
Seeing this, Ling Mohui frowned and shouted unhappily, "Fu Yansheng, leave immediately!"
Fu Yansheng's face was determined, his eyes full of pleading: "Ling Mohui, come with me, let's have a good talk."
Ling Mohui's face was cold and her tone was resolute: "I have nothing to say to you, Fu Yansheng, please don't get entangled here, so as to avoid any inappropriate words."
Fu Yansheng's eyes were red, and his gaze was like a torch, staring at Ling Mohui tightly: "Ling Mohui, are you really so cruel that you won't even give me a chance?"
Ling Mohui pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
Fu Yansheng held her hand, trembling slightly, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "Come back to Daqi with me first, and we will slowly solve everything."
Ling Mohui looked calm, but her tone was full of determination: "I won't go with you. You should give up this idea."
"What about the Ling family? Your parents, your brother and sister-in-law, don't you care about them anymore?"
Fu Yansheng's words touched Ling Mo's heart, and she fell silent for a rare time.
"Ling Mohui, you are clearly still concerned about many people and things in Da Qi, aren't you? As long as you are willing to go back with me, no matter what your wish is, I will do my best to satisfy you, is that okay?"
At this time, Zhao Yu's voice was as cold as ice, "Master Fu! As for the matter of returning to Da Qi, I am here, and Mo can also return, so you don't have to worry about it, Master Fu."
After he finished speaking, he gently pulled Ling Mohui's hand away from Fu Yansheng's grasp.
Inside the carriage, the tense atmosphere suddenly escalated and almost froze.
Ling Mohui took the opportunity to stand up and said straightforwardly: "It's really stuffy here, I'd better walk back!"
After saying that, she jumped straight out of the carriage.
Zhao Yu did not hesitate and followed closely.
Ling Mohui naturally took Zhao Yu's arm, with a relaxed smile on her face: "Ayu, how about we go to the market?"
Zhao Yu had no objection and let Ling Mohui lead him, and the two walked side by side towards the bustling street.
When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Yuezhao had already returned from the palace. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered someone to invite Ling Mo back.
When Ling Mo came back, Zhao Yu was naturally by her side.
"Yu'er, isn't the Supervisory Department busy today?"
Zhao Yuezhao was a little surprised. Since Zhao Yu took office as deputy director of the Supervisory Department, he rarely saw him so leisurely.
Zhao Yu's tone was calm, but revealed a hint of seriousness: "Mother, there is something important that I need to discuss with you."
"Important matter? What is it?"
Zhao Yuezhao immediately became alert. The "important" that Zhao Yu mentioned often means something extraordinary.
