The news of Mo Zhaohua's marriage to the King became known to everyone the next day.

Empress Dowager Yuande immediately went to see Emperor Wenzong and asked, "Emperor, how can you marry Zhao Zhao to Lao Wu?"

Emperor Wenzong was calm and composed. "Didn't the Queen Mother tell me that it is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the monarch?"

The Queen Mother was indignant, "So you're going to sacrifice my family to help you worry?"

"My son followed mother's words, and the Mohist girl was also a candidate that all the ministers were satisfied with." Emperor Wenzong had actually been secretly fanning the flames.

"You..." The Queen Mother deliberately showed anger, "You are going to marry off my descendant just like that?"

Emperor Wenzong comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. If this matter can be settled, I will compensate the Fuguogong Mansion."

The empress dowager looked at Emperor Wenzong, fell silent, and then listened to his explanations and consolations.

She pretended to be helpless, "Forget it, the imperial decree has already been issued, would I encourage Zhao Zhao to disobey it?"

Emperor Wenzong was proud in his heart, but his face showed great gratitude, "Thank you very much for your understanding, mother."

The Queen Mother sighed, "If you were not my son, I would suspect that you did this on purpose because you hated me."

Emperor Wenzong's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, "Mother, you worry too much. Your kindness will be remembered in my heart."

Not long after the Empress Dowager had left, the Duke of Fuguo asked for a meeting again. Before Emperor Wenzong saw him, he already knew why he came.

Li Tuquan said considerately: "If Your Majesty does not want to see me, I will send the Duke of Fuguo away."

Emperor Wenzong thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet. You can avoid the first day but not the fifteenth. It's better to avoid bothering me every day."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Tuquan responded and summoned the Duke of Fuguo to the emperor.

After the Duke of Fuguo came in and paid his respects, he knelt down and complained, putting on a show for Emperor Wenzong to see, "Your Majesty, you are trying to kill me."

Emperor Wenzong did not play dumb, "My dear minister, do you think my son is not worthy of your granddaughter?"

The Duke of Fuguo wailed, "Your Majesty knows that the Prince of Yu has no descendants, so doesn't this ruin the future of my granddaughter?"

"Then tell me, my dear minister, whose daughter should I give to the fifth brother in order to do the right thing?"

The Duke of Fuguo looked up at Emperor Wenzong and said, "I don't know. I only know that my little granddaughter has been wronged."

Emperor Wenzong consoled him, "Don't be sad, my dear minister. It's not like there is no hope for the fifth son, and the marriage issue must be resolved."

The Duke of Fuguo wailed again, "My poor granddaughter..."

Emperor Wenzong suddenly felt a headache, "My dear ministers, what are you doing? If she is at ease to marry, I will compensate you."

The elderly general came to him and cried, and even if no real tears were shed, it would damage his holy name if it got out.

The Duke of Fuguo howled even louder, "In your Majesty's eyes, am I the kind of person who would sell his granddaughter for fame?"

Emperor Wenzong defended himself, "That is not my intention. She did it on her own accord. She is a person of righteousness. My dear minister, please let it go."

The Duke of Fuguo sighed, "Ah... this silly child."

Emperor Wenzong saw that his tone had softened, and tempted him again, "She is very good, I will not treat her badly, and the same goes for you."

The Duke of Fuguo stared at Emperor Wenzong for a long while, and seeing that he was uneasy, he gave him many rewards to appease him.

"Forget it. It's all because of the old minister's incompetence. I can't protect the younger generation." Duke Fuguo decided to stop while he was ahead. With these two scenes between him and the empress dowager, Emperor Wenzong would no longer doubt Mo Zhaohua.

afternoon.

Amber brought Mo Zhaohua a more gorgeous set of clothes.

Mo Zhaohua was quite disgusted, "No need to go through so much trouble, just dress like you normally would."

Amber said, "How can this be possible? Miss is going to meet His Royal Highness the King, and she cannot lose her manners."

Mo Zhaohua didn't care. "It's not like we're entering the palace, nor is it a formal occasion. Why are there so many etiquettes?"

Amber begged eagerly, "Miss, please wear it just once, at least to leave a good impression on His Majesty the King."

Mo Zhaohua thought of King Yu, and his mind was really shaken. "This is just this time, and it won't happen again."

Amber cheered, "Yes, Miss."

Since his rebirth, Mo Zhaohua has tried to dress simply, and only dresses up when meeting guests during festivals or entering the palace.

Today, she not only wore gorgeous clothes, but also combed her hair into an intricate bun. Looking at the person with pearls and jade on her head in the bronze mirror, she seemed to see herself in her previous life.

In her previous life, whether she was the Princess of Qi or the Crown Princess, she was required to dress formally when going out. Her headdress pressed so hard that it hurt her neck, but she still had to maintain a dignified demeanor.

Zhenzhu also came to help dress up. Looking at Mo Zhaohua who had dressed up specially, she became happier and happier. "Our young lady is so beautiful."

Amber agreed, "Of course. The master was once known as Pan An, and his wife was one of the four beauties in Shengjing."

Mo Zhaohua believed that Rong Qing was a beauty, but he was extremely disdainful of Mo Yun's so-called reputation, "Where did you hear this from?"

Amber smiled and explained, "The old people in the mansion said that the threshold of the Fuguo Mansion was broken down by matchmakers."

Pearl also said, "There are also people who, after the lady and the master got engaged, swore in public that they would never marry in their lifetime."

Mo Zhaohua felt a little sad after listening to this. If his mother married someone else, could she find true happiness?

She gathered her thoughts and said, "That's about it, let's go."

Yueying was silent at first, but suddenly said, "Miss, I will accompany you there."

Mo Zhaohua thought this was Chu Xuanchi's intention, "Okay, Pearl Amber, I'll bring you some cakes when I come back."

Pearl and Amber did not argue with each other because of Yueying's status, and thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Miss."

A carriage with the logo of Prince Yu's Palace stopped outside the residence of the Minister of Revenue, and Wuying went in personally to invite Mo Zhaohua.

Although he had seen Mo Zhaohua before, he was amazed this time. He looked more noble after being dressed up.

With Yueying's help, Mo Zhaohua got into the carriage, which was fully equipped and more luxurious than the Shangshu Mansion.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys and finally stopped in front of the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion. Mo Zhaohua got off the carriage and entered through the gate.

Chu Xuanchi was still waiting in the main hall. Looking at her approaching, he had a feeling as if he was in a dream. The little girl who protected him in the past was going to be his bedmate.

Mo Zhaohua came in, bowed, and greeted with a sweet smile, "Brother Xuanchi, are you feeling better?"

Chu Xuanchi spoke gently, "Except for the old injury, everything else has healed. Is Zhao Zhao doing well?"

Last time, Mo Zhaohua was in a hurry and didn't have time to take a good look at Chu Xuanchi. This time, as it was open and aboveboard, she was no longer reserved.
