Ye Shihan raised his mouth and kissed Doudou on the cheek, then put him in Su Muer's arms and said softly:
"Doudou, be good and sleep with your mother. Daddy will be back later."
Doudou put his arms around Su Muer's neck, squinted his eyes and nodded. As long as his mother and father were together, he would be happy.
Bai Chen was sitting in the main hall of the Leng family, waiting for Ye Shihan. Seeing him come in, he waved his hands hurriedly,
"Shihan, Mr. Leng and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
There was blame and ridicule in his words, but Ye Shihan sat down with his clothes indifferently.
"If I hadn't seen you in trouble, I would have gone to bed long ago."
He took a sip of tea contemptuously and said, "Tell me, why do you want to see me?"
Bai Chen picked up an imperial edict from the table at hand.
"This was sent urgently by the Emperor five hundred miles away. He wants us to go to Qingcheng Kingdom immediately to marry the eldest princess, and then return to the capital. He said it was urgent, but he didn't mention the specific matter."
Urgent?
Ye Shihan's eyes tightened, "The situation in the court is relatively stable at the moment. What urgent matter requires the emperor to travel five hundred miles to send a letter urgently?"
Bai Chen also shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, but we should go to Qingcheng Country sooner rather than later. I just discussed it with Mr. Leng and we will leave tomorrow."
Ye Shihan nodded without hesitation, "Let's do it tomorrow, some things always have to be settled."
Both Leng Qiu and Bai Chen understood the meaning of his words.
"Then let Princess Jiaoyue, Su Yuanmin and Doudou wait for us here. It will take ten and a half days to go to Qingcheng Country. I will order someone to take good care of them."
Leng Qiu was thoughtful, and Ye Shihan nodded approvingly,
"Then there is Mr. Lao Leng."
Leng Qiu shook his head, "It's nothing to worry about. I just hope that the matter between you and my sister Leng Yue can end well."
Having said this, everyone present was a little worried.
Early the next morning, after settling Doudou, Yuanmin and Princess Jiaoyue, they set out on the road.
Su Muer asked Aqiu to stay and take care of Doudou so that they could ride on horseback.
As for the sudden news about Shadow, she did not delve into it. Shadow's name was just like her person, so it was not surprising at all that he disappeared.
Originally, Ye Shihan considered letting Su Muer stay, but she wanted to see the emperor of Qingcheng Kingdom in person and personally ask him to take back the Holy Order, so she sat in front of Ye Shihan with firm eyes and deep eyes.
"Mu'er, are you worried?"
As he rode forward, he whispered in her ear.
"A bit." Su Mu'er looked forward blankly, "I don't know if this trip will go smoothly. I always feel a little uneasy."
Ye Shihan hugged her tightly to his chest and comforted her softly,
"With me here, everything can be solved, don't worry."
His arms always made her feel warm.
They worked hard and finally arrived at the capital of Qingcheng Kingdom three days later.
As the eldest prince, Leng Qiu took them directly into the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor of Qingcheng State held a dinner in the palace that night to welcome the Seventh Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to come and get married.
Sitting in front of the huge table, looking at the food on the table, Ye Shihan had no intention of moving his chopsticks, and Su Muer also felt a little worried.
"Your Majesty the Seventh Highness, I received a reply from the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, saying that you are here to get married, so I will order the Ministry of Rites to choose a date. My daughter will get married, so naturally there can be no ambiguity."
"emperor……"
Ye Shihan interrupted him eagerly, "Your Majesty, I came here just to report this matter to Your Majesty and to ask Your Majesty to take back your order."
When the emperor heard this, his expression suddenly became deserted.
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty the Seventh Highness? Is it possible that you want to resist the imperial edict of your Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
"I dare not." Ye Shihan glanced at Su Muer and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Our Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not know that I already have a wife. This is my Ye Shihan's wife. I still have a wife."
I have a son in Laiyang City."
"What?"
The emperor's eyes suddenly stood up, "You said you have a wife and children? Then why did you, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, agree to this marriage? It's really unreasonable."
As he spoke, he banged the table heavily, "Is it possible that you are using me, Qing Chengguo, as a monkey to play with? It's really too much."
Before he spoke, Bai Chen was busy talking to the side.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is actually another hidden reason behind this matter."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him. He had a good impression of Bai Chen. He was very impressed by the fact that he took the initiative to fight Xiong Heng despite being injured all over his body that day.
However, he had no intention of giving in on this matter.
So, he slapped the table hard, causing the dishes on the table to tremble.
"What's the hidden secret? I, the eldest princess of Qingcheng Kingdom, have been pampered and pampered by me since she was a child. Now you say that you have a wife and children? What will she do? Does she have the reputation of being abandoned before she gets married?"
Seeing the emperor's angry expression, Leng Qiu hurriedly spoke to stop him,
"Father, don't be angry. Where is your sister? Why not let her come out and express her thoughts."
Leng Qiu knew that Leng Yue was a kind girl and she would not deliberately break up Ye Shihan and others.
"She's sick."
The emperor's voice was cold, and he didn't know whether the princess was really ill or fake.
Su Mu'er wanted to say a few words, but she found that the emperor's face was extremely ugly. When he looked at her, he was also a little angry. In order not to anger him, she chose to remain silent.
Therefore, this state banquet was destined to end unhappy. Before leaving, the emperor put down his words,
"Didn't I, the princess of Qingcheng Kingdom, have to marry you to the Eastern Jin Kingdom? Why would I do this if I didn't want the long-term friendship between the two countries? If His Highness the Seventh Highness does not agree, then leave Qingcheng Kingdom quickly and go back and tell your emperor,
Just wait for the war."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left the scene angrily.
Leng Qiu glanced at Ye Shihan helplessly,
"Your Highness Seventh, you are still too impatient. I think this matter should be dealt with by my sister."
Hearing what he said, Su Muer instantly became energetic.
"Where is your sister? Can I see her?"
She wanted to talk to her as a woman.
Leng Qiu frowned and nodded, "It's too late today, let's go tomorrow. I'll go see how she is doing tomorrow. If there's nothing serious, I'll arrange for you to meet."
When he said this, there was a deep meaning in his eyes. He especially wanted to know what kind of surprised expressions they would have when they knew that the shadow was Princess Leng Yue.
The palace was very quiet at night. Shadow sat by the pond in the back garden, pouting and looking at the calm water.
Knowing that they were coming, she didn't have the courage to see them. After she came back, she begged her father to take back her life, but his father refused and told her that if she could not successfully get married to Ye Shihan, the war between the two countries would be inevitable.
rise.
Thinking of this, she angrily grabbed a stone next to her and threw it into the pond. The calm lake surface instantly stirred up small splashes of water.
"shadow?"
A familiar voice came, and Shadow hurriedly turned around to look at the person. She stood up and tried to run away, but her foot slipped and she almost fell into the pond.
