He Hongxi quickly presented the letter in Feng Hao's hand to the emperor.

The emperor put the two seals together for comparison.

Sure enough, at first glance, they are exactly the same.

But after careful comparison, it turns out that deliberate distinctions were made in the details.

"You said this letter was forged, then who can get the seal on the letter?"

Feng Hao had a stern face and didn't speak for a long time.

The emperor was already getting impatient.

He then whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuqing... Pei Yuqing can get it."

The seal that Pei Yuqing was able to get now appeared on the letter "written to Chu Yanchen".

The meaning is already very clear.

It is obvious who Pei Yuqing met before his death.

"Even after his death, he cannot let people rest in peace." The emperor murmured softly.

Feng Hao immediately bowed his head, his attitude extremely humble.

"Envoy Feng, go back and pack up." said the emperor.

Feng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took his leave.

The emperor glanced at Chu Yanchen and ordered outside, "Withdraw Prince Jing's Mansion and the imperial guards who stopped the betrothal team."

"Okay, Father believes you. Go back and do your thing."

Chu Yanchen just stood there, neither moving nor speaking.

The emperor glared at him...

Yes, he was wronged and treated unfairly!

What's the matter? Do I, as a king and a father, have to apologize to him?

"What? Aren't you afraid of delaying your marriage?" The emperor frowned and looked at him.

Chu Yanchen hummed, "I'm afraid of delays, and I'm even more afraid of being disliked."

The emperor was almost laughing at his anger. "Are you afraid of being disliked? That's your own fault! But, you already have a child, Song Mingli won't dislike you, right?"

"That's hard to say. My son's betrothal gift has been stopped. Will she feel that her future eunuch doesn't like her and it hurts her face?" Chu Yanchen didn't get angry, but just looked at the emperor eagerly.

emperor:"……"

This fourth brother! Not to mention that he hurt Prince Jing's face!

Instead, he said that he, as a father-in-law, had hurt his daughter-in-law's face?

"What do you want?" the emperor asked unhappily.

Chu Yanchen cleared his throat and was about to speak.

"Don't go too far!" the emperor added.

What this means is that as long as his request is not too excessive, the emperor will agree to it in order to make it up to him.

"Give her some more betrothal gifts, so that her betrothal gifts are higher than those of the previous sisters-in-law. Then she will have face," Chu Yanchen said seriously.

The emperor looked at him angrily, but did not refuse outright.

After a moment's silence, the emperor ordered, "Take out another 10,000 taels of silver from my private treasury and add it to Prince Jing's betrothal gift. Do it now!"

Chu Yanchen thanked him immediately without saying anything, "Thank you, father!"

Don’t be afraid of being wronged. As long as you get compensation after being wronged, it will not be in vain!

Sun Miao, with the imperial guards, was blocking the team of Prince Rui and officials from the Ministry of Rites who were going to propose marriage.

Seeing that the auspicious time was about to be delayed, Prince Rui frowned and said, "What's wrong with Prince Jing this time? Why is he handling it so slowly?"

From afar, I saw Ling Feng riding his horse galloping towards me.

"The emperor has given an oral order to let them go!" Ling Feng shouted loudly before he got close.

"Did you hear that? Let him go! Hurry up!" King Rui urged.

Prince Rui felt upset. He had never encountered such a thing before. On his way to propose marriage, he was stopped and searched.

Although I didn’t actually search, it’s still unlucky!

If he searched, no matter whether he found anything or not, the face of his nephew, Prince Jing, would be ruined!

Doesn’t the emperor dote on the fourth brother?

What’s going on today?

King Rui sighed and shook his head, the emperor's mind is really hard to predict!

He had already climbed onto the horse, but saw that Sun Miao had no intention of giving way.

"What's the matter? Didn't you hear? The emperor has given an oral order to let you go!" Prince Rui glared and scolded.

Sun Miao, however, remained serious and unmoved.

Ling Feng had already ridden his horse to the front, and he immediately dismounted, "General Sun, don't delay the auspicious time! Let the betrothal team go first, and the eunuch who comes to deliver the oral order will be here soon!"

Ling Feng's voice was urgent.

Sun Miao looked at him indifferently and said, "General Ling, I am following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Prince Rui was unhappy. He had a good personal relationship with Chu Yanchen in this matter, so he came to propose marriage for his nephew.

It wasn't his fault that he was stopped halfway, but if he missed the auspicious time, he would not be happy!

"This is the capital city, and there are so many people watching around! How dare he forge an imperial edict?" Prince Rui said angrily.

Sun Miao bowed to Prince Rui and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Anyway, I just won’t let you.

More and more people gathered around, and the whispers became louder and louder.

"Did Prince Jing really commit a crime?"

"The hiring team was stopped and they said they wanted to search."

“There was no search, either!”

"Even though they didn't really search us, they kept stopping us from leaving and blocking the road. That wouldn't look good, right?"

"Could it be that the Emperor regrets granting the Song family marriage and is deliberately embarrassing her?"

"Tsk, that's possible! Song is a second bride after all..."

Kyoto people love to watch the fun and gossip.

With the excitement happening right in the street, no one could stop their gossiping nature.

King Rui saw that Sun Miao was like a stone in the toilet and there was no point in talking to him, so he could not help but glare at Ling Feng fiercely.

"Why don't you bring your father-in-law with you on horseback?"

Ling Feng:......

He came on horseback with his father-in-law?

Should I place my father-in-law across his horse or sit in front of his horse?

This is Kyoto, not the frontier. He is riding on the same horse with a eunuch... I'm afraid that all the gossip in the next month will be directed at him instead of the prince!

"Here it comes!" The officials from the Ministry of Rites were also anxious.

If this matter is not handled properly, they will be in trouble if King Jing makes trouble for them later.

They stared into the distance and saw the figure of the eunuch coming from the palace, and immediately shouted.

Sun Miao looked back and saw that there was indeed a carriage from the palace coming towards him.

Before it got close, the carriage stopped.

The person who got off the car was He Ying, the young eunuch who had been recently transferred to serve the emperor.

He Ying raised his voice and said, "General Sun, you have worked hard. Please let him go! The emperor has opened his private treasury and added another 10,000 taels of silver to the betrothal gift for Prince Jing. It will arrive soon--"

After he finished speaking loudly, he immediately retreated to the side of the road with his car to avoid blocking the way of the betrothal gift procession.

Sun Miao was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't know much about other things, but the reason why His Majesty stopped the betrothal team was definitely not to give Prince Jing more betrothal gifts!

It was obvious that he suspected that evidence of treason was hidden in Prince Jing's betrothal gift.

How come in the blink of an eye, not only was he allowed to pass, but he was even given an extra 10,000 taels!

This is much higher than the standard for marrying a princess!

Sun Miao was a little nervous.

"Get out of the way quickly! If you delay the auspicious time, you will be held responsible!" King Rui shouted at him angrily.

Sun Miao waved his hand and told the team behind him to quickly step aside, allowing King Rui to lead the betrothal team and march forward in a swagger.

The people watching the excitement around were also shocked.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Is the emperor dissatisfied that he doesn't love Prince Jing enough, so he deliberately performed a scene in the street to let the world know how much he loves Prince Jing?"

"Being blocked for a while only earned me an extra 10,000 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. It's worth it! Even if I can block it for a little longer, it'll be fine!"

"See? General Sun is sweating profusely!"

"I thought I was here to investigate, but I didn't expect that I was part of the Emperor's display of paternal love."

Sun Miao: …

This is really outrageous. His Majesty is not idle.

But Prince Jing was able to turn the situation around in this way. Not only did he allow the betrothal gift team to pass, he was also able to get the emperor to include betrothal gifts in his court appearance... That was quite impressive.

Sun Miao raised his eyes and saw Ling Feng standing on the other side of the street, looking at him with sharp eyes.
