"Miss, the imperial edict came to the palace just now. The master and the young general sent people to invite you to receive the edict. This revealed that you were out."
When Shaoyao saw her young lady coming back, she and Zi Yuan rushed to greet her and told her what had happened during her absence.
"I see."
Yu Shuyue handed the sword in her hand to Shaoyao, with a cold face and a hint of anger.
Her father had just shown her the imperial edict, which clearly stated that the marriage would be completed at a later date after she had her hair.
"Do you already know the content of the imperial edict?"
Shaoyao guessed a thing or two when he saw the angry look on her face, but he was also a little puzzled.
The prince was very interested in his young lady. At first, she thought that her young lady seemed to treat the prince well, but she had been a bit cold recently.
Now that she knew that the emperor had granted her and the prince a marriage, she was in an extremely angry state. Shaoyao glanced at Aster beside her with a somewhat helpless look.
"You guys go down, I want to be alone."
After they all went down, Yu Shuyue picked up the tea on the side and drank it all in one gulp, then placed the tea cup heavily on the table with a loud "bang".
She was not angry about the content of the imperial edict. After all, the emperor kept his word. Once the edict was issued, there was no room for change.
She just couldn't figure out why the emperor offered her and the prince a marriage, and why the prince accepted it without saying anything.
As far as she knew, the emperor had not granted him a marriage before, but he had never resisted the emperor in anything. The taciturn Qi Xiuyao would be extra insistent whenever marriage was mentioned and refused every time.
In his own words, he is a man with limited mobility and only a few years to live, so there is no need to delay other girls' good lives.
He has said this, what else can the emperor do?
Therefore, every marriage grant in the past was in vain. This time the marriage grant was successful, not only Yu Shuyue was puzzled, but the emperor was also puzzled.
However, he did not interfere too much with what the Imperial Master told him. It was just a marriage anyway, and he didn't know if he would survive until the Yu family girl and Ji got married.
This wedding gift really came so unexpectedly that Yu Shuyue suddenly remembered the gift Master Rang had mentioned when she was in the cave.
There was nothing in the cave, and there was nothing else except the unexpected wedding when I got home.
Could it be that the gift he was talking about was this wedding?
Yes, he promised Xiao Mi three hundred years ago to help him deal with the stone chamber. Now he must be dealing with things from Qi Xiuyao's point of view. How could he care about what she thinks.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yu Shuyue's lips, and her eyes were filled with anger. She now wanted to go to Huayan Temple to question Huairang what he meant.
But she could guess that she would not gain anything by going there. Even though she only had such a brief contact with him just now, she still had a certain understanding of Huairang's style of doing things.
Unless he wanted to say it himself, she couldn't ask anything.
He was pretending to be mysterious before and didn't explain it. How could he answer it for her if she asked now?
She didn't do anything, and the depression in her heart couldn't be relieved. She kept feeling depressed, and finally she got up and left the house.
"Ayue, where are you going? It's time to have dinner soon. Father asked me to come and see you."
Yu Hengyue had just stepped into her yard when he saw his sister hurried out with a cold face.
"I'll come back as soon as I go." Yu Shuyue replied without looking back.
A quarter of an hour later, she arrived at the East Palace.
"Miss, what are you planning to do when you come to the East Palace?"
Shaoyao looked at the unkind look on her young lady's face and couldn't help but swallowed her saliva and said nervously.
She was a little afraid that her young lady would do something outrageous.
Yu Shuyue did not answer Shaoyao's question because even she herself could not explain it now.
She was so angry just now that she came here without thinking. What can she do after she comes? Expect the prince to go to the emperor and cancel the engagement?
Yu Shuyue shook her head, calmed down and was about to leave. As soon as she turned around, she heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling behind her.
"Ayue, you're here, can you have dinner?"
There was some surprise in Qi Xiuyao's tone, but when he saw her cold expression, the smile on his lips slowly disappeared, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart.
He calmed down and looked at her tenderly.
"I met His Highness the Crown Prince. Ah Yue was just passing by and will go back now."
Yu Shuyue didn't expect to see him so soon. She was extremely uncomfortable now. Everything in the stone room still included the engagement contract.
"Ayue, let's talk, okay?"
For some reason, Qi Xiuyao looked at her with a very cold expression, but he could read a signal for help from her eyes.
He could feel the confusion and helplessness in her heart at this moment. Although he didn't know what she wanted, Qi Xiuyao knew that he couldn't let her go back like this.
Yu Shuyue looked at the sincerity on his face, stood there for a long time, and finally turned around and entered the East Palace with him.
"Hua An, arrange for the servants to bring dinner to you."
"Hey, Your Highness, we are not..."
"Let's talk about it after we've filled our stomachs. Come on."
Qi Xiuyao took her wrist and led her to the front hall. He noticed that her wrist was stiff for a moment, but she did not break away from his hand uncomfortably. The corners of Qi Xiuyao's mouth slowly raised.
Yu Shuyue sat on a chair and looked at the various kinds of food that the servants kept bringing to her. She felt awkward at the beginning and gradually relaxed.
"I don't know that Ah Yue came and was not prepared properly. If you don't like it, I'll order them to start again -"
"Your Highness, no need, don't bother. Besides, Ah Yue likes these dishes."
Yu Shuyue stays at her maternal grandfather's house in Jiangnan for a period of time every year, so her taste is actually on the sweet side. She, her brother and her father have different tastes, they are on the spicy side.
She never expected that Qi Xiuyao had the same taste as her.
Qi Xiuyao saw that the smile on her face was much more real than before, and he couldn't help but let go of his clenched hand hanging on one side.
Although he didn't know that Yu Shuyue was coming back today, because he had investigated everything about her and knew that she liked sweets, in order to make the distance between them closer, he was changing his taste and eating what she liked, just to
One day.
Seeing her relaxed and satisfied face, he was also very satisfied.
He may be really sick, suffering from a disease called Ayue.
When she is happy, he is happy, and all his emotions revolve around her. This chapter has been completed!
