That day, Xiao Jingyu followed Eunuch Wang to the palace and met the emperor who was dealing with memorials.

Xiao Jingyu immediately knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor with hope.

"I, your son, pay my respects to your father, since he already knows what happened last night.

I also ask the Emperor to make the decision for me, and to revoke my order and cancel my engagement with Jiang Qingyu."

When he woke up at dawn and saw the woman beside him, he really wanted to kill her.

Wanted to kill that disgusting, audacious woman.

If Eunuch Wang had not arrived in time and awakened his mind, the woman would have been saved.

"My prince, please get up quickly. Jiang Qingyu was wrong in this matter.

But you two already have an engagement, so why not just go with the flow and get married? This will also fulfill Concubine Xian’s wish.”

After hearing the emperor's words, Xiao Jingyu, who had always been indifferent to everything, became excited at this moment.

Xiao Jingyu lost control of his emotions and knelt on the ground, yelling at the emperor.

"Father, don't you hate people who use this kind of tactics the most?

Two years ago, Concubine Yun was caught using aphrodisiac incense on you, so you issued an edict to abolish her status and locked her up in the cold palace.

Even her family members were exiled, so why must I marry her now that I am here?"

Eunuch Wang next to him interrupted Xiao Jingyu who was about to continue speaking.

"Prince Qi, please be careful with your words. For the sake of the country's stability, the emperor's body cannot be harmed in any way."

After listening to what Eunuch Wang said, Xiao Jingyu also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Xiao Jingyu looked up at the emperor. As expected, after hearing his words, his father's face turned black.

"Father, that's not what I meant.

No matter what she was like in the past, I was willing to marry her even if it was just to repay my mother's kindness.

It’s just that Jiang Qingyu used this method, and I can’t stand this humiliation.”

After saying these words, Jamel Xiao lowered his head dejectedly.

The emperor looked at his son who was still kneeling on the ground and knew that he was feeling bad.

He had always been regarded as a child of destiny, but it was an injustice for him to be married to Jiang Qingyu just because of Concubine Xian's wish.

Now "Jiang Qingyu" has done something like drugging him again, which is unacceptable to anyone.

"Father knows that granting you a marriage with Jiang Qingyu is unfair to you.

When "Jiang Qingyu" lost her mother, your mother felt sorry for her and was grateful to her mother for saving her, so she asked me to issue an order to grant you two a marriage.

At that time, your mother was in poor health, and I didn't want her to worry about such things. So I issued an edict, thinking it would be a good match."

The emperor sighed and recalled what happened in the past.

Seeing the embarrassment on the emperor's face, Xiao Jingyu began to have some hope of canceling the engagement.

He is the emperor's favorite son, and his father will definitely consider his feelings. He hurriedly made a promise.

"As long as Father cancels my engagement with Jiang Qingyu, I will acknowledge her as my adopted sister.

Find a good husband for her and ensure that she will have a smooth life without suffering any hardship.

It is definitely happier than living with her son, and it can be regarded as repaying her mother for saving her life.

I am not her good man, she will not be happy with her son, and this goes against the original intention of the mother. "

"It's not that Father won't fulfill your wish, but this is your mother's last wish.

Your mother held my hand until the last moment and said that you two must get married. If the engagement is cancelled now, how will your father face your mother in the future?

I dreamed of your mother last night, and she asked me why I granted you marriage.

Now that this has happened, it's a good opportunity to get married.

The next time I see your mother, I will tell her about this and make her happy.

I have completed her instructions."

After the emperor finished saying these words, Xiao Jingyu completely gave up.

His mother has been brought up. If he insists on canceling the engagement, he would be slapping his mother in the face.

Even though his father dotes on him and takes care of him in every possible way, he will not force him to do anything he doesn't want to do.

But as long as it comes to something related to his mother, there is no discussion at all.

Xiao Jingyu sat on the ground dejectedly and bowed deeply to the emperor.

"I obey your Majesty, Father. Everything is up to you, Father."

"Okay, Father knows that you hate Jiang Qingyu very much now and don't want to see her.

In this way, your father will agree to your request as long as you marry Jiang Qingyu.

I will agree to your request some time ago and allow you to go to the border and lead troops to fight."

Some time ago, Xiao Jingyu proposed that he wanted to go to the border to lead troops to fight, experience military life, and hone himself.

The emperor rejected Xiao Jingyu on the grounds that swords have no eyes and if he got hurt, he would be ashamed to face the virtuous concubine.

Originally, Xiao Jingyu was very resistant in his heart, but after hearing what the emperor said, his resistance was reduced a little.

This is fine. He would rather go into battle and kill the enemy, even if it means shedding blood and sweat. This is better than being entangled by Jiang Qingyu in the capital.

Now he was looking forward to military life away from Jiang Qingyu, and he felt that the next few years would be the happiest time of his life.

Looking at Xiao Jingyu who was sitting down below, the emperor comforted him again.

"Jiang Qingyu is still young and doesn't know the importance of things. It's just right that you two should be apart for a few years. Give her a few years to grow up. I believe she will become better when you come back from the border."

"I understand. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first."

"You go first and ask the Prince Qi's Mansion to get ready. I'll ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a good day for your wedding."

Xiao Jingyu bowed and left, leaving only the emperor and eunuch Wang in the hall.

Because it concerned the reputation of the eldest daughter of Duke Ye and the emperor's favorite son, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so the rest of the people were arranged to stay outside.

"Eunuch Wang, go get the imperial edict and have Xiao Shunzi ask Master Wang to calculate the nearest auspicious day for marriage.

Send someone to the Duke Ye's mansion to inquire. If Jiang Qingyu wakes up, you can go there with the imperial edict."

Eunuch Wang did as he was told, brought the imperial edict, and served with writing materials. Soon, Xiao Shunzi, who had gone to the Imperial Observatory, also came back.

He first bowed to the emperor, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, Wang Tianshi of the Imperial Observatory said that if Your Majesty is in a hurry, five days from now will be an auspicious day, suitable for marriage.

If the emperor is not in a hurry, a month later would also be a good day."

After listening to what Xiao Shunzi said, the emperor pondered this matter in his mind.

Five days is not enough time and everything is not ready yet, so we have to keep it simple.

Yu'er is his most beloved son, and he is afraid that he will be wronged again.

A month is too long. Yuer finally agreed to this matter, but he is afraid that more trouble will arise by then.

Never mind. Five days is five days. It’s better than another accident.

May 17th, that sounds like a good day.
