Chapter 29 Requesting a Marriage
"Please rest assured, Madam, no one in the palace knows me, and no one knows that Ling Yufei is my daughter." Shen Birou had already thought about it, and no one knew her true identity now, so she decided to stay in Li. By the side of the concubine, she will wait until one day when Ling Yufei really has a chance to stand out, then she will stand up again.
"This will just make me a little aggrieved." In fact, Li Fei has long been accustomed to having Shen Birou by her side to take care of her, but she is just afraid that she will be wronged.
"Being able to follow the empress is a blessing for me as a slave, so how can I say that I am aggrieved?" Shen Birou pretended to be very grateful and said to Concubine Li with a slight smile.
"Nanny Shen, if you want to leave, please tell me at any time, and I will definitely not stop you in the slightest." Concubine Li was still afraid that she would wrong Shen Birou, so she said with some worry.
"My slave, I would like to thank you for your kindness." Shen Birou bowed to Concubine Li very respectfully. She believed that she would eventually succeed.
"Mother Shen, go help me bring Ye'er." Now that she has found the woman mentioned in the secret, what Li Fei wants to do most now is to let Nangong Ye marry her back.
"My slave, I obey." Shen Birou quickly turned around and walked towards the place where Nangong Ye lived, with a proud smile on her face. It seemed that her plan would succeed soon this time.
"Concubine, I don't know why you are so anxious to call me here." Nangong Ye in front of Concubine Li was a little different from usual, his face was a little less cold and a little more gentle.
"Ye'er, Concubine Mother hopes that you will become a concubine immediately." Concubine Li did not say any more words, but went straight to the point and told Nangong Ye her thoughts.
"Li Fei?" Nangong Ye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Fei called him here in such a hurry because of this matter.
His mother-in-law never inquired about his feelings. What happened today?
"Ye'er, my concubine has already chosen a concubine for you, and I'm just waiting for your approval." Concubine Li looked at Nangong Ye expectantly, hoping that he would agree. Anyway, at his age, he should have been a concubine long ago.
"Mother and concubine, what happened? Why did my son want to become a concubine now? Who is the person you are talking about?" Nangong Ye became more and more confused as he listened, so he asked a series of questions.
"Ye'er, the situation is urgent now. Nangong Ye has already made the king a concubine. How can you lag behind?" Li Fei became a little anxious. She didn't know what Nangong Ye was thinking.
"Then who is the person that the mother-in-law is talking about?" Nangong Ye finally understood why Concubine Li was so eager to make him a concubine, but he was more curious about the person she was talking about.
"That's the Prime Minister's daughter - Ling Yufei." When she mentioned Ling Yufei, Concubine Li's lips showed a slight smile of satisfaction. She believed that Nangong Ye, a woman with both talent and beauty, would also like her.
"How could it be her?" Nangong Ye was a little surprised. Although he didn't know Ling Yufei well, he didn't have any good impressions of her either.
What surprised Nangong Ye even more was why he wanted to marry the daughter of the prime minister's family like Nangong Yi?
"Ye'er, Concubine Mu has made arrangements with the eminent monk. Only she can help you win the world, so you must marry her." Concubine Li looked around warily and whispered to Nangong Ye.
"Do you really mean what your concubine said?" A trace of doubt flashed in Nangong Ye's eyes. Can she really help him win the world? If he can, why not marry her?
In Nangong Ye's heart, the world is far more important than feelings. Feelings are dispensable, but the world must be obtained.
"It's absolutely true. The words of the eminent monk are absolutely trustworthy." Li Fei believed deeply in what the eminent monk said before, so she assured Nangong Ye now.
"In that case, you should obey your mother and concubine." Although Nangong Ye was ruthless to others, he obeyed his mother and concubine.
Anyway, he doesn't have a woman he likes now. Everything is just a formality. If Ling Yufei can really help him achieve great things, why not?
"Then let's make an agreement. The mother-in-law will go and ask the emperor for marriage now." Seeing that Nangong Ye finally agreed, Concubine Li felt much more relaxed.
"My son, I will go with my mother and concubine." Although the emperor is Nangong Ye's father, the relationship between them is very weak.
Nangong Ye has never known what father's love is since he was a child, because the emperor gave all his love to the prince and Nangong Yi.
So he didn't have much affection for the emperor, only superficial respect and love.
"Concubine Li, why are you so anxious to find me?" In the main hall, the emperor saw Concubine Li and Nangong Ye appearing together, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know what they wanted to do.
Although Li Fei is his concubine, he has no feelings for her.
Although Nangong Ye is his son, he doesn't have much love for him because he knows his character very well. He is ruthless and has a deep palace. Such a person is not suitable to become a king.
"I sincerely ask the emperor to grant Ye'er a marriage." Concubine Li bowed respectfully to the emperor and said with expectation.
"Marriage? Does Ye'er have someone he likes?" A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's heart, but he kept it secret on the surface. He was a little curious about whose girl Nangong Ye would like.
"Back to my father, I hope to marry the prime minister's daughter, Ling Yufei, as my concubine." Nangong Ye's expression was light, and he didn't seem to be happy at all.
"Oh? The daughter of the prime minister's family again? It seems that the prime minister's residence is indeed a good place." The emperor smiled meaningfully. He really did not expect that the person Nangong Ye was going to marry would be Ling Yufei. There must be something ulterior in this.
's secret.
Because he couldn't see the slightest bit of affection on Nangong Ye's face, so he must have ulterior motives for marrying Ling Yufei.
"My son, I have long heard that the second young lady of the prime minister's house is both talented and beautiful. We met recently and fell in love at first sight. I hope my father can make it happen." Nangong Ye was worried that the emperor would be suspicious, so he explained carefully.
"Since Ye'er likes it, why can't the emperor fulfill his wish?" Although the emperor didn't know why Nangong Ye married Ling Yufei, he still chose to fulfill his wish. Perhaps only after the consummation can he know the truth.
"So the emperor agreed to the marriage?" Concubine Li's face was already filled with joy. She did not expect that the emperor agreed so quickly, and many of the words she had prepared before were not used yet.
"There is a rare and wonderful day after January. The wedding of Ye'er and Yi'er should be held on that day!" The emperor thought for a moment and said this.
"I would like to thank my father in advance." Nangong Ye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor not only agreed to the marriage, but also let him and Nangong Yi get married on the same day.
"From now on, the second prince Nangong Ye will be granted the title of Prince Ye, and will be given the residence of Prince Ye. Ling Yufei will be married to Nangong Ye and will be granted the title of Princess of Night." Zhao Yun read loudly while holding the imperial edict that the emperor had just drafted.
