At this moment, Prime Minister Mu Rong Rui, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, had his fists tightly clenched in his sleeves. His head was lowered so that no one could see his current expression.
The Emperor's obviously questioning words didn't make Murong Rui relax. The difficulty of the Holy Decree, what should he say at this moment to not anger the Holy Face?
Accept his daughter's marriage? How could he accept this? Refuse the Holy Decree? Wouldn't that anger Shengyan?
At this moment, Murong Rui only felt that he should never have done this. He should not have asked for such a marriage for his daughter back then, but now he was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Murong Mingyue stood up from her seat and slowly walked to the Prime Minister's side. She knelt down beside the Prime Minister.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Qi looked at Murong Mingyue who was kneeling down and asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the emperor, this official's daughter already has someone in her heart, I hope the emperor will grant her wish!”Murong Mingyue said with a determined look. After that, she kowtowed three times to Nangong Qi.
As soon as Murong Mingyue said that, there was an uproar below. Nangong Qi, who was sitting on the high seat, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Even Murong Rui, who was standing beside Murong Mingyue, was shocked. He had never thought that his daughter, who he had always doted on, would be so impudent in front of the Emperor. He had never thought that those words would come from his daughter, who had always been well-educated and polite.
"Emperor, this little daughter is not sensible, please don't blame her. This subject is willing to marry my daughter to King Yu.”The Prime Minister quickly recovered from his shock and spoke with a heavy expression.
Although he doted on his daughter, the safety of his family was more important than his daughter. As the Prime Minister of a country, he understood the principle that accompanying the monarch was like accompanying a tiger.
"No, Your Majesty." Hearing that her father had agreed to her marriage, Murong Mingyue could no longer remain calm. Tears fell from her eyes.
Murong Mingyue was known as a beauty, but now, tears were falling down her face. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, but the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. No one had the time to admire the beauty's tears.
The Prime Minister was afraid that his daughter's nonsense would really anger the Emperor, so he could not help but grab Murong Mingyue's hand in panic. However, Murong Mingyue did not know her father's painstaking efforts at this moment. She only looked at the Emperor anxiously and cried,
"Emperor, this official's daughter already has a sweetheart. In this life, other than him, this official's daughter will not marry anyone else.”
"Impudent!" Empress Zhao slammed the table and stood up, her face full of anger. She pointed at Murong Mingyue and said,""How can you shout in front of His Majesty?”
Hearing this, Murong Mingyue didn't dare to say anything more. She only lowered her head and cried. Her straight back seemed to be telling her that she wouldn't give in at this time.
Everyone looked up and saw that the Emperor Nangong Qi's expression was extremely ugly. It was as if a storm was about to come. This made the people below not dare to make a single sound, afraid that they would be angered.
Even so, everyone's gaze fell on the Prime Minister and his daughter in the middle of the hall. They were guessing who Murong Mingyue, the number one beauty in the capital, had taken a fancy to and dared to anger the Emperor for that person.
The atmosphere in the main hall was very gloomy. Everyone held their breaths. Some were gloating while others were sweating for the Prime Minister's family.
As one of the parties involved, Nangong Mo did not care about what was happening at all. He only happily ate the delicious food on the table. In the eyes of the others, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. He was really a fool who did not know the worries of the world.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
