Chapter 143 Resisting the Edict

The sound of gongs and drums is loud and the sound of firecrackers is loud.

The long wedding procession bypassed Qinglong Street in Dongcheng, passed Zhuque Street in Nancheng, and planned to return to the Imperial City from West Street, which happened to be around the city.

There were countless people watching, and cheers were endless.

It seemed as if the entire imperial city was witnessing this huge wedding ceremony.

However, just after noon, a sound of horse hooves galloped from afar, as if an incompatible sound was incorporated into the noise.

"The emperor has an order, and the ninth prince's wedding will be suspended!"

The sound fell, and the noise in the sky stopped abruptly as if it was pinched to the throat.

The people on both sides of the street turned around and turned around.

Ye Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who was riding a horse, held the order talisman high in his hand: "The emperor's oral order! The ninth prince's wedding was suspended!"

The wedding brides gradually slowed down until they stopped.

Mu Cang's hand holding the reins tightly, his body was as calm as a rock, sitting on the horse's back, his spine straight, and his face was as deep as water.

The noble and cold eyebrows and eyes were filled with an ice-like luster.

Yan Li, who was sitting in the sedan chair, frowned unconsciously and suspended the marriage?

What does the emperor mean?

The marriage was given by him, and it was calm a few days ago. On the day of the wedding, I suddenly issued an order to suspend the marriage?

The surroundings were as quiet as snow, and the people watching the excitement showed shock and doubt, and they were puzzled.

The Ninth Prince's wedding is so grand, why is it suddenly paused?

this……

This has never happened since ancient times.

Is there another war in the border?

Mu Cang's eyes were cold and he looked straight at Ye Qi in front of him with a expressionless face: "What happened in the palace?"

King Jing, who was following Mu Cang, frowned and strangled the reins and waited silently.

Which is the father singing this?

"Return to the Ninth Prince, the Empress of Jin State, with the Prince and the Envoy." Ye Qi answered truthfully, with a respectful attitude, "The Empress of Jin State said that Princess Nanyang is her daughter, and the princess's marriage must be decided by her mother."

What?

The young men behind Mu Cang looked at each other, obviously not expecting this, "Queen of Jin?" daughter?

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Isn’t Yan Li’s mother Jiang Yi, the daughter of Grand Tutor Jiang?

She passed away fourteen years ago, why did a mother suddenly appear?

"Is Princess Nanyang the daughter of the Queen of Jin?" King Jing stroked his chin and thoughtfully, "Is she not a cousin of the Jiang family?"

"It's indeed a cousin of the Jiang family." The other young men nodded one after another, and one of them added, "Nanyang Princess is now the emperor's imperial seal."

King Jing turned his head to look at his uncle and couldn't help but mutter: "So what's going on?"

How could Princess Nanyang be the daughter of the Queen of Jin?

Amid the whispering of the conversation, Mu Cang looked cold and his voice was hard: "The wedding will be as usual-"

"The wedding will be held as usual." A cold and snowy voice came from the luxurious sedan chair, "I am the Princess of Nanyang. This marriage was given by the emperor, and there is absolutely no reason to cancel it in the middle."

The tough tone was filled with unchangeable determination.

Everyone was shocked.

Is Princess Nanyang openly against the emperor's will?

Mu Cang turned his head to look at the sedan chair, his mouth was tilted up invisible, and the cold color of the ice-like in his eyes melted away little by little.

Yan Li sat in the sedan chair, but seemed to feel his gaze coming and smiled calmly.

Mu Cang turned his head and said, "The wedding will continue to go as usual."

Ye Qi seemed to have no accident with this, turned his horse's head and rode away with a few imperial guards.

Anyway, the emperor sent the oral orders, and whether he could listen to the Ninth Prince himself.

but……

Staying away from the wedding party, Ye Qi sat on the horse's back and thought for a while, suddenly turned around and rode his horse towards the bustling city of flowers.

Seeing this, several subordinates behind him couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Commander, shouldn't we return to the palace to report as soon as possible?"

It should be the main way of walking with few people.

Today, because of the wedding of the Ninth Prince, all the main city streets were cleared out. There were few people, so we could speed up the return to the palace to reply in advance.

After all, if the Ninth Prince refuses to obey the order, will the queen of Jin be unhappy?

If they want to stop the wedding, they need to arrive at the Jiuwang Mansion before evening... Maybe it will be too late.

You can lead the adults to choose to go to the downtown area.

There is no need to ride a horse in the downtown area, so they have to slow down, which may delay for a long time.

Ye Qi scolded, "Just follow me, what's the point!"

Don't know what is a roundabout tactic?

The emperor clearly did not want to cancel the ninth prince's wedding, but was forced to issue an oral order.

As a minister, the most important thing is not to follow the order at all times, but to understand the emperor's mind - of course, blatant resistance to the order is definitely not possible.

Unless you have the ability and power of the Ninth Prince, who is as favored as Princess Nanyang, and you will be sure that you will not be punished for resisting the order.

As soon as this thought flashed through my heart, the subordinate behind me asked: "Master Commander, the Ninth Prince did not follow the order."

Ye Qi sat on the horse's back and walked slowly with the reins, "Yeah."

"Will the emperor be punished..."

"It should be." Ye Qi can only say this. After all, the crime of resisting the imperial edict is very serious. "But the person who resisted the imperial edict is Princess Nanyang. If she was really the daughter of the Queen of Jin, the emperor would not have punished her.

. ""

As for the Ninth Prince...

Then there is nothing to worry about. After all, it is obviously more important for the Ninth Prince to successfully marry Princess Nanyang than to resist the order.

Ye Qiyoudada was riding a horse in the downtown area slowly. When he returned to the palace, the sun was slowly setting.

Arriving outside the palace gate, turning over and dismounting, the group of people quickly walked into the palace and arrived at the main hall where the banquet was held.

"Report to the Emperor!" Ye Qi knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "I am guilty and failed to stop the wedding of the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang!"

"What?"

"How could it be?"

Two voices in the hall sounded at the same time. The first voice with a slight anger was Jiang Yi, and displeasure appeared on his face: "Do you dare to resist the order and refuse to obey?"

The second slightly surprised voice was Emperor Zhaocheng, as if it was unexpected that the Ninth Prince did not listen to the order, and it seemed that there was not much displeasure.

"When returning to the Queen of Jin, the anti-Japanese refers to Princess Nanyang." Ye Qi lowered his head and said truthfully, "In front of many officials, nobles and people, Princess Nanyang said in person that the marriage was given by the emperor and was definitely not cancelled.

The truth of this sentence.”

"So what?" Jiang Yi frowned, "The emperor's oral instructions must be followed by the Ninth Prince."
