After Pei Yucui left, Ming Xixi asked directly: "Your Highness, if the emperor does not agree to you, how do you make both of us get the freedom we want?"
Mu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "From childhood to adulthood, my father never forced me to do things I don't like. If Miss Xixi succeeds in helping me this time, I think my father's heart will be shaken. Cui'er and I both kneel down and beg each other. My father has no choice but to agree to cancel the engagement."
Ming Xixi nodded. It sounded good, and it seemed like things should be going like this. But is it really that easy? In many times in the past, she often thought of a question: Why did the emperor appointed a young girl who had never met and a hat with a small disaster star on her head as the crown princess? The Ming family also had two daughters, both of whom were both good-looking and similar to the crown prince. Ming Xixi believed that other ministers' daughters were of outstanding talents. But why did they choose her? For so many years, this question has been confusing her and can't figure it out.
The brief contact also made Ming Xixi feel intuition. Even if Mu Feng had no lover, she had no feelings for Mu Feng. The two of them were naive and simple to think about the problem, and were too optimistic. She shook her head in her heart. This method was not feasible, and she had to find another way to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement.
The next morning, Ming Xixi was about to leave the palace after breakfast, but the emperor suddenly sent his father-in-law Zhen to pass on his post and immediately went to Yilin Temple.
"Eunuch Zhen, why should the emperor go over the matter?" On the way, Ming Xixi asked for advice from Eunuch Zhen.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, the Sa family doesn't know." Eunuch Zhen kept his mouth shut and answered this sentence with a smile.
When he arrived at the gate of the Yilin Hall, he did not let him get off the sedan chair, but only let him sit and wait. Ming Xixi was puzzled. He lifted up the curtain of the sedan chair and looked left and right. There was also a sedan chair parked on the left. He recognized the palace maid next to him who saw it in Yuyuan yesterday. Ming Xixi suddenly realized that the emperor was here to announce what she was doing.
A young eunuch walked out of the room, first went to another sedan chair, said something to the person inside, and then walked towards her, saying, "Crown Princess, the emperor promised you to enter the hall, but you can't bring your mouth and feet in."
"Ah?" Ming Xixi opened her eyes wide in shock. Could this be an ancient IQ question?
Secretly lifting up the left curtain and looking over there, the person in the sedan chair was not moving, and I couldn't help but think: I wonder if the emperor asked the question, is it the same question? In fact, this is not difficult at all. I don't know if the person in the sedan chair can answer it?
Just as she was hesitating whether to enter the hall first, there was a sudden movement there. She quickly lifted up a corner of the sedan chair curtain and looked over. The palace maid quickly retreated from the sedan chair. She walked out of the sedan chair several inches high from the ground. Two wooden sticks were moved under the skirt, and they walked towards the gate of the Yilin Hall step by step. She couldn't help but be happy. Isn't this walking on stilts? Her mind is quite flexible.
As the other party entered the Yilin Hall, Ming Xixi also walked out of the sedan chair, put on a sad look and stepped into the hall gate.
Emperor Zongzheng sat in a high position, and Eunuch Zhen stood beside him. There were only two people in the entire hall, feeling empty and deserted. Ming Xixi was attracted by the huge plaque above the emperor Zongzheng, which was covered with dense words. When he looked at it, he seemed to be composed of different poems.
"Pei Yucui, didn't I say I would not let my feet and mouth come in? Do you dare to disobey my will?"
