Hua Qingyue is much more peaceful and natural than Zhu Luying. Although her inner pain is no less than or even worse than Zhu Luying's, she understands that sometimes, loving someone does not require you to completely let go.

possess.

Zhengyao was very pleased that Hua Qingyue could understand, and she was also very grateful that Hua Qingyue was so understanding and reasonable to her. Ning'an also had a great change in her attitude towards Hua Qingyue. In the past, she had always regarded Hua Qingyue as a thief and a thief.

He yelled, but at this moment, he saw that Hua Qingyue didn't look like a thief at all, which made Ning An feel guilty.

After the three of them had a conversation in the hall of the abandoned hospital, they left for the capital.

The news about Zhengyao regretting his marriage has spread throughout the capital. I believe that no one in the capital does not know about it. When Jiajing in the palace knew about it, he was even more furious and immediately asked Zhengyao and others to enter the upper palace.

.After all, it was his gift of marriage, and now it has turned out like this. If he could keep his composure, then he would no longer be the Emperor of Jiajing.

At the end of the day, a large group of civil and military officials appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including King Jing, Yan Song, Zheng Yao, Liu Yan and others, as well as Ning'an and Zhu Luying.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were all submissive, with their heads lowered and not daring to look up at the hall. No matter whether it was Zheng Yao or King Jing Yan Song, they all remained silent and stood quietly where they were.

Sitting in the hall was Jiajing, with a cold look on his face, neither sullen nor angry. The one on the right was Concubine Shen, but Concubine Shen's expression also looked very serious and dignified.

After a while, Jiajing finally cleared his throat, swept away everyone in the hall, and said coldly: "Who will tell me what is going on?"

Although Jiajing learned that the marriage between Zhengyao and Zhu Luying had fallen through, Jiajing did not know what happened and what caused it. This was why he called Zhengyao and others to the palace.

As soon as Jiajing's words came out, everyone was immediately startled. According to his expectations, it seemed like he was seeking responsibility. In this situation, whoever dares to stand up and speak will definitely be asking for trouble. Therefore, in

After hearing Jiajing's words, most of the officials subconsciously took half a step back.

But at this time, Yan Song took a step to the left and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is what happened. Today was the day that the Emperor gave the princess to marry Mr. Li. But something happened on the way, and the wedding banquet ended on bad terms.

, the marriage is now over."

What Yan Song said was ambiguous. Although it sounded like a big deal, when you think about it carefully, it seemed that Yan Song was deliberately making it easy for people to think more about it.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Jiajing asked immediately.

"Back to the Emperor, this matter..." As he spoke, Yan Song subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhengyao and Ning An, as if he had something to say.

Zheng Yao looked embarrassed at this moment, while Zhu Luying on the side had a straight face. As for Ning An, before Yan Song could finish his words, Ning An immediately stood up and said: "Father, don't ask, everything is just for you."

It's your fault, I will bear the responsibility for it, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Unexpectedly, Ning An's first words were to admit her mistake, and she also wanted to handle the matter alone. There were many times when Ning An was a courageous woman, somewhat of a heroine.

appearance.

"Your Majesty! None of this has anything to do with the princess. It was Wei Chen who didn't speak clearly. The emperor misunderstood Wei Chen's intentions and deserved death. Please punish him! Wei Chen will bear all the blame!" Seeing Ning An,

When Zhengyao came up to plead guilty, Zhengyao immediately defended himself to Jiajing.

Zhengyao understood Ning'an's thoughts. No matter what, Ning'an was a princess, the emperor's daughter. As the saying goes, even if Ning'an makes a mistake, he will not be punished. But once Jiajing blames Zhengyao, he will not be punished.

In other words, he would be demoted to a commoner, or in worst cases, his entire family would be executed. Why would Ning An take the blame on himself in the first place?

But for Zhengyao, the crime of deceiving the emperor was an indisputable fact. Open defiance of the emperor's marriage conferment was an act of rebellion and disrespect. These two crimes combined would be enough for him to die twice. However, once Ning Ning

An admitted that it was all her own responsibility, which meant that Ning An and Zheng Yao had an unmatched affair on their wedding day. If this matter spread, it would cause irreparable damage to the princess' reputation.

This is what Zhengyao does not want to see, so even if he is accused, Zhengyao does not want to involve Ning'an, even though everyone knows that Ning'an is involved.

But Ning An was not happy after hearing this, and immediately said: "Father, don't listen to him, everything is the fault of my son."

"Your Majesty, it's my fault and it has nothing to do with the princess. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

"Father..."

"emperor……"

"Bang!"

Just when Zhengyao and Ning'an were rushing to bear the consequences of each other's words, making others envious, they suddenly heard a strong sound of banging tables and chairs in the hall and suddenly remembered that what followed was

There was also an angry remark from Jiajing.

"That's enough!" Jiajing scolded, and then said: "I don't care who of you is wrong, I only know that this wedding was granted by me personally. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me directly, why do you want to do this?"

On the day of a big wedding? If you do this, how will Prince Jing face the world? If you do this, how will Princess Pingyang face others? Can you think about how many people will point fingers at you behind your back?

?”

Jiajing's denunciation can be said to have pointed out the key point. This move by Zhengyao and Ning'an was undoubtedly announcing to the world that they would regret their marriage, making Prince Jing and Zhu Luying embarrassed in front of the world.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Zhengyao and Ning'an knelt down one after another.

Jiajing said seriously: "Huh! You two are too bold and reckless. If I don't punish you now, where is my authority? Eunuch Meng!"

"Your Majesty must not——"

Just when Jiajing was about to announce how to punish Zhengyao and Ning'an, he heard Concubine Shen next to him immediately stop Jiajing.

Then Concubine Shen said again: "Your Majesty, please do not make a big mistake out of anger. The princess is young and ignorant and needs to be taught patiently. Mr. Li has made great contributions to the court many times. You must not blame him for this. I think the county

The relationship between the Lord and Mr. Li is too hasty. Emotional disputes between young people take time to deal with, so we should not get involved."

"But..." Jiajing wanted to say something else.

"Your Majesty!" King Jing finally said: "I would like to inform your Majesty that it is my daughter Ying'er's honor that your Majesty has kindly granted us a marriage. However, God's will is such that we cannot force it. The princess, Ying'er and Mr. Li are all right. Your Majesty does not need to

Who should be punished?"

I thought that Prince Jing would be furious because of the issue of face, and then ask Jiajing for justice and an explanation, but he didn't expect that he has remained calm until now, without even a hint of displeasure.

"Royal brother, this..." Jiajing said with a slight embarrassment.

For Jiajing, he actually hoped that Zhengyao and Ning'an would get married from beginning to end, so that Zhengyao could work harder for him. However, in the end, Ning'an and Zhengyao gave up on each other, leaving Zhengyao and Ning'an to get married.

Zhu Luying got married. But now that this happened, Jiajing immediately felt more or less sorry for Prince Jing and Zhu Luying. After all, he was the one who wanted to get married.

In addition, the reason why the marriage was messed up was because of Ning'an, which made Jiajing feel that he should make some compensation to Prince Jing.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry too much about my younger brother. In fact, my younger brother has understood from a long time ago that the princess and Mr. Li are a beautiful couple. The little girl is not close, and the emperor fell in love with her by mistake."

Prince Jing was still very indifferent, as if he was saying that I am lucky if I get it, but I will die if I don't get it.

Yan Song took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, since the prince no longer cares about it, there is no need for the emperor to continue blaming anyone. I have always thought that the princess and Mr. Li should be a perfect match. Why don't the emperor grant the marriage to the princess and Mr. Li here now?

Prince, what do you think?"

After saying that, Yan Song couldn't help but smile and looked at Prince Jing.

Prince Jing also smiled sarcastically and said: "What Mr. Yan said is true. In order to prevent someone from ruining the princess's reputation by talking nonsense in Minjiang River, I also ask the emperor to choose an auspicious day for the princess based on Mr. Yan's suggestion.

I will marry Mr. Li on this day."

In fact, Prince Jing also understood that it was impossible to continue the marriage between Zhengyao and Zhu Luying. Moreover, it was clear that someone was behind this to deliberately sabotage the marriage. What if the person behind this was Jiajing?

It won't help even if I keep my mouth open.

You know, when Jiajing heard Yan Song's proposal for Zhengyao and Ning'an's marriage, Jiajing expressed relief. Now it is better to go with the flow and act more open-minded.

"Princess Pingyang, what about you? What do you think?" Jiajing understood that the person involved had not spoken yet, and if he made a decision rashly, it would be bad if he broke up on bad terms again.

Zhu Luying kept her head down and said nothing. You can imagine how bad her mood was today.

But when Jiajing spoke, she had to speak.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly raised his head, bit his lip and said: "Go back to the emperor, Ying'er has no objection."

After speaking, Zhu Luying lowered her head again and said no more words, but one or two drops of water could be faintly seen on the ground.

"My beloved concubine..." Jiajing looked at Concubine Shen and said.

Concubine Shen said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Your Majesty and Lord Yan are right. For the sake of Ning'er's reputation, it is better for them to get married as soon as possible."

After hearing what Concubine Shen said, Jiajing was suddenly moved. After looking around at everyone in the hall, he looked at Ning'an and Zhengyao, took a long breath and said: "Okay! Li Zhengyao listens to the order!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Zhengyao didn't know what decree the Jiajing Council would read, but since it was an imperial edict, he had to kneel down to listen, so Zhengyao immediately stepped forward.

"Li Zhengyao and the princess have a deep love and have shared weal and woe many times. Their sincerity can be seen in the moonlight. This time I specially issued a decree for Princess Ning'an and Li Zhengyao to get married on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and named Li Zhengyao the 'imperial consort' for the encouragement of me and the princess."

, admire this!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
