Chapter 847: Chapter 847: A Fruitless Attempt to Outsmart the Emperor
Therefore, he refused Sikong Mo’s proposal, and naturally, he couldn’t use his age as an excuse anymore.
In the end, he could only settle for second best, and it would be good to place someone around him.
Unexpectedly, merely wanting to give him a woman forced Sikong Mo to bring out the ancestral secrets to make a point!
The old Emperor tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, feeling secretly resentful.
At this palace banquet, several people were granted marriage because these soldiers were to return to the frontier, so the marriage affairs could only be handled by the Internal Affair Office.
And Ye Wenyu, who was already confirmed to stay in the capital city, followed along and had a collective wedding ten days later.
However, the Ye Family is currently all in the capital city, and with Ye Wenyu’s family supporting him, his wedding naturally surpassed others.
This is a later remark, but now, Ye Jiu was with Prince Jing, watching Sikong Mo, who was drunk, being helped onto a carriage.
On the other side, Ye Wenyu was utterly frustrated.
Just as he exited the palace gates, a eunuch led a person over, and as Ye Wenyu opened his eyes to look, wasn’t it the dancing girl he just saved with a sentence?
Ye Wenyu immediately regretted it immensely.
He could accept being granted marriage; after all, it was about properly marrying a wife, someone to live with for a lifetime.
Moreover, at his age, it was time to marry, whether arranged by family or granted by the Emperor, in his eyes, as long as it was a woman, there was no difference.
Furthermore, he had just met the girl from the Liu Family; with that appearance and figure, marrying her would be absolutely delightful.
But now, he hadn’t even brought home his rightful wife, and a dancing girl was already brought home, what kind of situation was this? He hadn’t the faintest idea what the Emperor was thinking, simply deliberately making things uncomfortable for him.
Not far off, Lady Liu led a few young girls to the carriage when one of them spoke up, "Sister, see how thoughtful the Emperor is towards you! You haven’t even entered the door yet, and he’s already prepared helpers for your future husband’s care, hehe..."
Lady Liu merely listened to the young girl’s provocative words, without any intention of stopping her.
Just a concubine’s daughter, not entitled to make her speak up for her.
And, because of the young girl’s words, Miss Liu’s gaze fleetingly looked towards Ye Wenyu. She happened to catch Ye Wenyu glancing back at her exactly at that moment. At their brief exchange of gazes, Miss Liu was visibly hurt and dared not glance back, lowering her head as she boarded the carriage.
Ye Wenyu’s heart was very conflicted at this moment; surely, life has no worst, only worse!
Even though he’s a man, he understood that the existence of this dancing girl might be a source of envy for other men, but for Miss Liu, it was a direct slap in the face.
Just then, the dancing girl curtseyed to him, "General, your humble servant Zi Ling, hopes for your kind care in the future..."
That voice was so tender and frail, with every movement laced with a hint of seductiveness, making Ye Wenyu involuntarily shiver.
Looking at the envious eyes his colleagues showed, Ye Wenyu just wanted to say that if anyone wanted her, he would gladly give her away, but since it was bestowed by the old Emperor, he didn’t dare handle it as he pleased.
Turning his head, Ye Wenyu happened to see Prince Jing, and he immediately beamed with joy.
Ye Wenyu turned and said to the dancing girl whose name he hadn’t even remembered, "Come with me."
With that, Ye Wenyu began walking towards Prince Jing.
