Not only Emperor Li Er, but even Empress Zhangsun was shocked. She did not understand how Gao Shilian could speak to an outsider.
The civil and military officials were also at a loss!
Because of the relationship between the State Duke of Shen and Gao Shilian, he was very close to Second Emperor Li.
Every matter, big or small, would be discussed with State Duke Shen.
Why was he siding with Fang Yiai today?
"Where is the Minister of Justice?" Gao Shilian, the State Duke of Shen, ignored everyone's surprised gazes and turned around to ask.
The Minister of Justice, Li Daozong, was not deaf anymore. He stood up and said,"High Duke, I'm here."
"Li Daozong, bring out the Law of Marriage of Great Tang.”
Li Daozong immediately sent someone to retrieve it.
Not long after, more than ten thick books of the Great Tang Law were brought out.
Gao Shilian picked up one of the books. It was the Law of Marriage. This law stipulated household registration, marriage, and many other systems. It was very detailed. Gao Shilian flipped to one of the pages and suddenly called out in surprise.
"Fang Yi 'ai, according to the laws of Great Tang, you and the princess cannot be separated for the time being.”
"Why?"
Fang Yi 'ai felt that this old fox was plotting something and asked in a deep voice.
Gao Shilian flipped open the marriage laws and said," Look, even if Princess Gaoyang has violated the seven rules, the marriage laws of our Great Tang are clearly written. There are three rules that women cannot go.”
"First, to attend the funeral of my aunt and uncle. Third, there is no return for what you have received."
"The first rule is that you can't divorce your wife!”
"What?"
Li Er's face lit up.
Empress Zhangsun was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Uncle Gao Shilian wanted to raise his ego but suppressed it first. After playing such a trick, he was indeed a think tank.
"Fang Yi 'ai, Princess Gao Yang's aunt, Princess Chang Sha, passed away at the beginning of this month, less than ten days ago. Princess Gao Yang was heartbroken and could not divorce her wife for a year!”
Gao Shilian shouted loudly.
This old fox was really terrifying!
Fang Yiai thought that she could divorce Princess Gaoyang based on her actions. Unexpectedly, the old fox Gao Shilian brought out the "three no-go" clause in the marriage law, making things complicated.
"High Duke, a forced melon is not sweet. The princess and I have no feelings for each other. Even if we live under the same roof, so what?”Fang Yi Ai ignored the law and only talked about reality.
Gao Shilian was stunned!
What the other party said was true.
However, no one could say for sure about the conflict between the two. What if the two of them reconciled within this year?
"Fang Yiai, you are talking about reality, not the law!" Gao Shilian smiled. According to the laws of Great Tang, they were not allowed to leave within a year!”
"Duke Lu, what do you think?"
Gao Shilian suddenly turned his head and smiled slyly.
"Me?" Cheng Yaojin was playing hide-and-seek, but Gao Shilian unexpectedly pointed the finger at him and insisted that he take a stand. He thought for a moment and said,""Let's do as Lord Gao says!”
"Fang Yi 'ai!"
Second Emperor Li, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said,""According to the laws of the Great Tang, you are not allowed to get a divorce within a year of Aunt Gao Yang's death. A year later-"
Second Emperor Li stopped talking!
Actually, he was thinking that even if they were to divorce after a year, it should be Princess Gao Yang divorcing the Prince Consort.
Moreover, if the young couple's anger subsided within this year, there was no need to divorce.
State Duke Shen Gao Shilian's stalling tactic was too brilliant!
Second Emperor Li praised in his heart and waited for Fang Yi 'ai's reply.
" Your Majesty, I am indeed not fated to be with the princess. The law is nothing more than human relations, but separation is something that will happen sooner or later..."
If he really angered Second Emperor Li, he would not have a good ending.
Since they had already moved out of the princess's manor, it was equivalent to a divorce. There was no harm in giving Second Emperor Li some face. However, Fang Yi 'ai's attitude was very firm!
After the dispute was resolved, Second Emperor Li heaved a sigh of relief. He encouraged Fang Yi 'ai and told him to treat the princess well before ordering the court to retreat.
Walking out of the palace, Fang Yi 'ai saw his father Fang Xuanling and his brother Fang Yizhi.
"Yiai, you should go home.”Fang Xuanling's tense face revealed a rare smile.
"Father, I have already left Fang clan, I don't plan to return.”
Fang Yi 'ai cupped her hands and said goodbye to her cheapskate father.
Fang Xuanling was startled. He seemed to have understood something and left dejectedly.
"Second Young Master, are you really not going home?”Zhao Erniu came out from an alley and ran to the front to ask.
"Erniu, Princess and I will have to separate after a year! What are you going home for?"
Fang Yi 'ai said lightly and changed the topic,""How's the matter I asked you to do?”
"Second Young Master, I spent fifty taels of gold to buy a large mansion on Xuanwu Street. It was the mansion of the former dynasty's Great General Han of the Pillar State, but it was a little too big.”
As he spoke, Zhao Erniu led a horse over for Fang Yi 'ai to ride while he led the way on foot.
The master and servant spent the time for an incense stick to burn before entering the residence.
