The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

Everyone was sighing in their hearts that His Majesty was so good to the Queen.

Not even a honorific title is needed.

At the banquet, Lu Shiwan sat in the main hall and watched the singing and dancing of the past.

After changing the identity, the same dance showed a different mood.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate the little prince and princess on their safety and well-being. This is my gift." Minister Xie walked into the hall and ordered his servants to present the gift.

The eunuch who was in charge of receiving gifts accepted the gifts from the ministers one by one in order.

"Master Shangshu is thoughtful."

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from me to the little prince and princess."

"Your Majesty, this is my..."

After a while, the ministers presented their gifts one after another.

At this moment, a minister who presented a gift was reluctant to leave after presenting it.

Mo Qitian recognized who it was at a glance. This person was the new top scholar.

"Li Zhong, why did you wait so long after delivering the gift?"

When Li Zhong heard Mo Qitian talking to him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, on this festive day, I would like to ask for a favor."

Li Zhong is the only scholar in Gujia Village in these years.

When Lu Shiwan went to Lingnan to rescue Lu Yunting, he accidentally saved a person from Gujia Village and got to know him.

"I know I shouldn't ask for your Majesty's grace in such an occasion. I beg your Majesty to forgive me."

"Li Zhong, since you know that it is not appropriate to talk about this today, why do you dare to do this?" Mo Qitian sat in the main hall, his voice majestic and powerful.

"Your Majesty, no matter if I have offended you today or not, even if it means losing my position as the chef in the Imperial Academy, I would like to ask for your grace."

"It is said that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. It is a man's responsibility to start a family and establish a career."

"I am usually your close minister, but I want to settle down in the imperial city and stay by your side. Today, I want to give my beloved a sense of peace of mind in front of everyone, with your majesty and the queen as witnesses."

Mo Qitian didn't expect that Li Zhong, who was always reserved, was actually a man who dared to say such a thing in front of everyone.

He glanced at Lu Shiwan.

He knew what happened in Gujia Village.

But Li Zhong is a sensible man. From the beginning to now, he has never mentioned anything about his meeting with Lu Shiwan in Gujia Village.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Your Majesty is wise. If you do not agree, I will still marry my beloved through my own efforts. However, I am asking for your grace today to reveal my true feelings to you. I do not want to hide it from you, and I want to make a promise to that person."

Mo Qitian raised his lips slightly and said calmly:

"In that case, tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Zhong bowed his head. "I am attracted to the eldest daughter of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Tian Yaoyao, and would like to ask Your Majesty for a marriage."

At the banquet, Tian Yaoyao's hands were clenched tightly together, her eyes were filled with shock, and her palms were sweating.

If Tian Sisi hadn't been beside her holding her hand, she would have almost been unable to sit still.

"Sister." Tian Sisi shook her head at her, implying that she should not act rashly.

If His Majesty grants the marriage, it will not be easy to get divorced.

Li Zhong was telling Tian Yaoyao and the Tian family his determination.

Upon hearing this, Lord Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone present was shocked.

The most sought-after top scholar of the day actually falls in love with a divorced woman?

Especially Feng Qingxue, she has not had a good day since she snatched her husband from Tian Yaoyao. Later, she was beaten by Ma Yuanxiu, and Ma Yuanxiu left mercilessly.

If it weren't for Tian Yaoyao, she and her child would have died long ago.

Now that she heard that she had a new home, her guilty conscience felt much better.

After hearing this, Governor Feng immediately warned Feng Qingxue in her ear.

"Dad is telling you, you can't do anything stupid this time."

"I understand, Dad. I won't do that again." Feng Qingxue stuck out her tongue.

Every failure makes one wiser. Will she do something stupid again?

"Since this is what Lord Li requested, I will grant your request. If you ask me to withdraw my order in the future, that will be impossible."

"Wei Chen understands."

"Eunuch Zhao, go and draft an imperial decree to marry the newly crowned number one scholar Li Zhong to Tian Yaoyao, the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

Eunuch Zhao bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

For a moment, voices congratulating Li Zhong rang out.

Li Zhong looked towards Tian Yaoyao and gave her a reassuring look, as if silently telling her that he was there for her.

Seeing this, Tian Yaoyao's nervousness gradually eased a lot.

Inside the hall, there were graceful music and dancing, and the sound of stringed instruments was endless, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to this happy day.

At this moment, everyone picked up their tea and sang in unison to the Emperor and Empress above:

"Congratulations to your majesty and the queen on the birth of the prince and princess. May the prince and princess be strong and virtuous, and may they be blessed by heaven and enjoy a long life of happiness."

The music and congratulations in the hall blended together, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Lu Shiwan smiled and nodded, then raised her glass elegantly to celebrate with everyone, "I am here to wish you all happiness and good health every day."

The melodious singing sounded quietly, like the sound of nature, adding a bit of affection to this celebratory moment.
