The next day, Cao Huan rushed to the palace early in the morning to ask for an audience with Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao saw his serious face and his eyes twitched twice unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I beg your Majesty to cancel the marriage between Yan Yan and the second prince!" Cao Huan solemnly knelt on the ground, his hands clasped in front of his belly and his head slightly lowered.

"Cao Huan, you are such an old fool! This marriage has already been decided, how can it be canceled so easily? The Queen has already chosen an auspicious day, and I will issue a decree to marry Yanyan at that time!"

Emperor Yao was a little displeased, his tone was stern, and there was a sense of forlornness in his eyes.

Eunuch Wu on the side quickly spoke to persuade.

"Master Cao, this is a marriage granted by the royal family. No one else can ask for it. With such an honor, Master Cao should think twice!"

"Yes, I think he is an old fool. Seeing that Yan Yan's marriage has been settled, he still comes to find me unhappy!" Emperor Yao angrily grabbed a booklet and threw it on Cao Huan.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yan has a heart, and I beg your Majesty to take back your life. I am willing to be punished, but Yan Yan is so stubborn that she insists on dying and refuses to marry the second prince. I have no choice but to bite the bullet and come to beg you. "

"I only have this daughter. Please, for the sake of her mother-in-law, please cancel this marriage. I will personally go and apologize to the second prince!"

"Cao Huan! Shut up!" Emperor Yao was furious and overturned all the memorials with one hand. The maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

"Jun Wu Xiyan, if you say cancel it, cancel it, or else you will be the emperor!"

Emperor Yao was so angry that he stood up and grabbed the ruler and wanted to throw it out. He raised it in the air and put it down hesitantly. His face was ashen and his eyes were full of anger, like a storm, making everyone in the hall feel frightened and uneasy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! It's all my fault, I will die to apologize!" Cao Huan kowtowed a few times, stood up, and bumped into the red pillar in the palace. Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wu immediately reached out and hugged him. .

"Master Cao, don't be impulsive. Hasn't His Majesty not blamed you yet?"

"Wu Ji'an, it is unreasonable for you to let him hit and die in this hall!" Emperor Yao gasped angrily, with his hands on his waist.

"I have no face to face Your Majesty again. I'm even more sorry for Yanyan and her mother-in-law. It's because I didn't teach Yanyan well. I'm going to go to Cuihua under Jiuquan to confess!" Cao Huan said so that he burst into tears and hit the pillar again. go.

"Master Cao..." Eunuch Wu hugged him desperately.

"Yes, yes, Cao Huan, every time I mention Yanyan's marriage, you mention Cuihua. You bastard, get out of here!" Emperor Yao's aura softened slightly, and he pointed a finger at Cao Huan and scolded him.

Before her death, Cao Yanyan's biological mother Zhang Cuihua asked Emperor Yao to protect Yanyan. She knew that Cao Huan was deeply in love with her and would not renew their relationship after her death. She was worried that her young daughter would be pitiful, so she had to ask Emperor Yao for help. Go ahead and agree immediately.

For so many years, Cao Yanyan had taken care of everything, even the marriage was done by herself. When he thought about the promise he had made to Zhang Cuihua, Emperor Yao lost half of his anger.

Cao Huan knelt in the hall again.

"Back then, I wanted to marry Yan Yan to the second prince as the main concubine. Concubine Yue refused to agree, so she finally agreed to give Yan Yan the position of concubine. It would be better for you. If you want to cancel the marriage, go and kneel in front of Concubine Yue's palace. Please beg her to cancel!"

Emperor Yao was able to throw away the pot with one hand, and touched his beard with the other hand and snorted at him.

"This... How can I have the nerve to beg Yue Fei, my concubine!" Cao Huan looked so embarrassed and reluctant.

"You have no shame to go, and you still want me to go for you, you old fox, you think so well, I won't go!"

Emperor Yao turned away angrily, and Cao Huan stopped speaking.

At this time, a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace clothes walked in from outside the palace. She walked lightly, elegantly and confidently, and every step seemed to demonstrate her status and temperament.

The person who came was none other than Concubine Yue. Although she was over forty years old, her face still looked radiant because she took good care of herself.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Cao insists on canceling this marriage, why not agree to him. Your Majesty, you know that I do not want Hong'er to accept Miss Cao as his concubine. Moreover, she already has her heart, as the saying goes. : The melon that is forced is not sweet! I hope your majesty will grant you permission, Mr. Cao!"

Concubine Yue walked into the palace without waiting for the eunuch to pass the message. She glanced at Cao Huan coldly, passed him and saluted Emperor Yao's body.

"I am very pleased that my beloved concubine is so generous. I will send a batch of new brocades as tribute yesterday to your palace soon!" Emperor Yao acted as a peacemaker and winked at Cao Huan. Cao Huan understood and hurriedly saluted Concubine Yue to express his thanks.

"I thank you, Imperial Concubine Yue. It is Yan Yan who is not so lucky and has let down the good intentions of Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine. I am extremely ashamed!"

Cao Huan sincerely expressed his gratitude to Yue Fei, but Yue Fei ignored him and just turned her head lightly.Cao Huan wisely stepped aside and stopped disturbing the conversation between Concubine Yue and Emperor Yao.

"I would like to thank your majesty for the reward, but your majesty should also feel sorry for Hong'er. I heard that my mother country has sent some rare war horses, so why not reward them all to Hong'er!"

Concubine Yue smiled brightly at Emperor Yao and begged.

"My dear concubine, I don't know. The fourth brother came to report a few days ago that the Qianye Kingdom's mission encountered a group of bandits at the junction of the two countries and robbed several war horses. The fourth brother is still investigating. , I will reward the second child when he is recovered!"

Emperor Yao also felt a headache after hearing her talk about this matter. Even the envoys dared to rob. This group of bandits was so arrogant.

However, in order to comfort Concubine Yue and the second prince, they also agreed to the matter.

"Concubine, thank you for your love!"

There was no expression on Concubine Yue's cold face. She came here today to ask Emperor Yao to reward Huo Yunhong with a war horse. However, she heard Cao Huan begging Emperor Yao to cancel the marriage outside the palace. At first, she was very angry. Emperor Yao and the Queen were very kind to each other. After all she had said, she reluctantly agreed to take Cao Yanyan as her concubine, and now she wanted to cancel the marriage. Wasn't this a slap in the face to her and Huo Yunhong?She wished she could kill Cao Huan with a knife.

But in a blink of an eye, she thought about canceling it. She was not satisfied with the marriage in the first place. She thought that a vulgar person like Cao Yanyan was not worthy of Huo Yunhong at all. She only wanted a princess from her motherland to marry, so that Huo Yunhong's children would have it in the future. The bloodline of Qianye Kingdom.

In Concubine Yue's heart, she has never had a good impression of anyone in Nan Yao Kingdom.

"Then I won't interrupt Your Majesty's conversation with Lord Cao. The sun was a bit harsh on the way here, and it made me a little dizzy! I'll leave now!"

"My dear concubine, go back and rest quickly. Wu Ji'an, send the imperial doctor to let Concubine Yue take a look!"

Emperor Yao looked at Concubine Yue with concern and ordered Eunuch Wu at the same time.Concubine Yue blessed Emperor Yao and walked out of the palace with the support of her nanny.

When he reached Cao Huan, he stopped again.

"Master Cao, congratulations first, I don't know who else in Kyoto would dare to marry Cao Yanyan!" Concubine Yue smiled sarcastically and walked out of the hall with her head held high.

"Cao Huan, get here!" Emperor Yao shouted sharply when he saw Concubine Yue walking away.

Cao Huan quickly stepped forward.

"Which bastard family does Yanyan like?" Emperor Yao asked him sideways.

"Song Yu, the second son of the Minister of Rites!"

"That kid is pretty good, he looks gentle, but his character is a bit timid." Emperor Yao thought for a while, and then said: "If I remember correctly, he has good calligraphy and good articles. Let him take the scientific examination next year and try to get a good rank, so that he can live up to Yanyan's infatuation with him."

"Your Majesty is right. I have already warned him. If he dares to betray Yan Yan, I will break his legs!" Cao Huan made two fierce gestures.

"Come on, we're not married yet, don't scare her away! Just go back and wait. I'll issue a decree to get married when I get back!"

"Old minister, I thank you for your kindness, long live your majesty!" Cao Huan knelt down to Emperor Yao with tears of gratitude.

Emperor Yao glanced at him with disgust, and finally added:

"There will be a family banquet in the palace in a few days. Let Yanyan bring Song Yu into the palace to express gratitude!"

"The old minister obeys!"

"Get out of here now!"

"Old minister, get out of here!"

After Cao Huan left, Emperor Yao leaned back on his chair with a tired look. Eunuch Wu quickly stepped forward to rub his temples, Emperor Yao said sternly.

"Go to Yu Ning Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wu responded with his head bowed.
