Nangong Ling's face was expressionless when he said this, but his words were filled with disdain for Murong Mingyue. He believed that he would be able to get back at the humiliation that the Murong family and Crown Prince had given his fifth brother today.
When Nangong Qi heard the Tenth Son Nangong Ling's words, he did not insist anymore. He said to the people below,""Since both of you have a common request, zhen will cancel the engagement between Mo 'er and Murong Mingyue in front of all of you. However, zhen will not allow the marriage between the Crown Prince and Murong Mingyue.”
"Father!"
Hearing that the Emperor didn't allow the marriage, Crown Prince Nangong Jin couldn't help but feel anxious. What a joke. If he didn't agree to the engagement between him and Murong Mingyue, how could he win over the Murong family? Wouldn't that mean that all his efforts on Murong Mingyue for the past few months were wasted?
Hearing this, Nangong Qi glared at the Crown Prince and said,""Today, your fifth brother has just broken off the engagement and you are in a hurry to bestow the marriage. Where do you want to put your fifth brother? Where would the royal family's face be placed?”
Hearing this, Nangong Jin felt a lot of dissatisfaction, but he still lowered his head and said,""Your son does not dare!"
Nangong Jin clenched his fists even tighter as he said this. He didn't even notice that his fingernails had dug into his flesh.
"Alright, that's all for today. All of you can go back.”Emperor Nangong Qi looked at everyone with a dignified expression. Then, his gaze swept towards Nangong Mo and Mu Qingyi, who was beside Nangong Mo. Finally, his gaze stopped on Nangong Ling and he said,""Ling-er, come with me."
After saying that, the Emperor Nangong Qi shot a warning glance at the Empress beside him and left the Hall of Celebration with the old eunuch, leaving only the sound of respectful farewell in the hall.
At this moment, the Crown Prince, Nangong Jin, who was kneeling in the hall, stood up and helped Murong Mingyue up in front of everyone. It was also a declaration of his sovereignty.
Although the Emperor didn't approve of the marriage, it didn't mean that the two of them wouldn't have a chance to be together. Nangong Jin then turned to the Prime Minister who had just stood up and said respectfully,""Today's matter is BenGong's fault, I hope Prime Minister will not blame me.”
"Crown Prince, what are you saying?" The Prime Minister replied. To be honest, the Prime Minister was not optimistic about the marriage between the Crown Prince and his daughter. Moreover, after today's incident, he was afraid that the Emperor would have some animosity with him. Thinking about it, the Prime Minister added,
"If the Crown Prince has nothing else to say, this old minister will take my daughter back first.”
"Then Bengong will go to the Prime Minister's Estate to apologize another day.”The Crown Prince smiled.
When the Prime Minister heard this, he did not say anything and only said,""It is my honor to have the Crown Prince come personally."
Then, he did not say anything else and left the celebration hall with his children and wife.
On the other side, Nangong Ling did not care about the Crown Prince's matters. He only said to Mu Qingyi,""Bring Fifth Brother to the pavilion on the southwest side of the Imperial Garden and wait for me. After I return from Imperial Father, I will send you and Fifth Brother out of the palace.”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi did not say anything. She just nodded and led Nangong Mo out of the Hall of Celebration under Nangong Ling's gaze.
However, Nangong Ling was still a little worried as he watched Mu Qingyi and the others leave. He immediately called a eunuch over and said to him,""Follow them. If anything happens, go to the royal study and find me.”
"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch received the order and hurriedly ran out.
After the eunuch left, Nangong Ling walked towards the side of the Celebration Hall. At this moment, a pair of resentful eyes followed behind him.
Not far away from the Hall of Celebration was the Imperial Garden. Although it was night, the Imperial Garden was filled with lanterns, making the entire Imperial Garden as bright as day.
"Qing Yi, are we going to wait for Ling here?”Nangong Mo grabbed Mu Qingyi's hand and looked around with a confused expression. It was obvious that he was unfamiliar with this place.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi nodded and looked around before she saw the pavilion Nangong Ling mentioned. It was far from the main road, so she should not be met by the officials or princes who were returning home.
It was not that Mu Qingyi was afraid of those people. She just felt that the Emperor was not around at the moment. If Nangong Mo met those people, he would definitely be ridiculed and cause unnecessary trouble. Nangong Ling probably had the same thought when he chose such a place.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingyi pulled Nangong Mo towards the pavilion. The two of them sat in the pavilion and waited for Nangong Ling.
However, it was obvious that Mu Qingyi's wish to be alone was in vain. She did not want to cause trouble, but trouble always came knocking on her door.#
