King An's innocent face turned pale, he glanced at Shen Qiuyue, and said sadly: "Yue'er...are you not willing to marry me?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Mingwei was so cunning. Shen Qiuyue felt angry and immediately explained anxiously, "Brother An, don't get me wrong. I won't accept the imperial edict if I don't want to."
King An's expression softened a little, "Are you willing to marry me?"
Shen Qiuyue nodded shyly.
Beside him, Murong Xiao's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly with veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Feng Mingwei looked at Murong Xiao and couldn't help laughing with gloating, "Haha, Prince Lie, did you hear that? Don't ever say again that it was this princess who prevented you from marrying your sweetheart."
"I have said that I am willing to marry Prince An."
"It's not like I, the princess, beat the couple with a stick."
Hearing this, Shen Qiuyue's face turned pale. She was so anxious that she forgot that Murong Xiao was still there. However, Shen Qiuyue was a senior white lotus and was quite good at dealing with men. She secretly gouged out her eyes at Feng Mingwei and said angrily: "Feng Mingwei, you are slandering me." I am trying to instigate a relationship between me and the two princes. You can’t see that Seventh Brother likes me. Now that I have fulfilled your wish, you still want to harm me. Why are you so vicious!"
As he spoke, he looked at Murong Xiao with an aggrieved and painful expression, and cried softly, "Seventh brother... I... can't help it, because the Supreme Emperor granted me a marriage, and I can't resist it... I've been waiting for you for so many years, and all I want is I can stay by your side, but Princess Lie refuses to agree to even such a small offer... She is so aggressive and cannot tolerate me.
I will marry Brother An in a few days. Brother An is devoted to me and has promised me the position of his concubine, so I can only devote myself to being his princess."
Feng Mingwei held the food box and looked up and down at the woman, "Miss Shen's words are really funny, her words don't match her words."
"Feng Mingwei!" Shen Qiuyue burst out with anger. Originally, she could control these two men very well, but because Feng Mingwei ruined her good deeds time and time again, causing her to overturn, Shen Qiuyue gritted her teeth and was so angry that she really wanted to kill her.
"What are you doing? Are you angry?"
"My princess is right."
"You just said that you have been waiting for King Lie for many years, just to stay with him, and then you complained that because King Lie didn't give you the position of concubine, you had no choice but to marry King An."
"I think even a fool can tell that you want to be in two different places!" Feng Mingwei unceremoniously exposed her hypocrisy.
Shen Qiuyue's eyes were scarlet and she said angrily, "Feng Mingwei, if you hadn't instigated the Supreme Emperor to grant the marriage, my seventh brother and I would have been together long ago."
"Since Miss Shen is so infatuated, well, I will go to the Dragon Heart Palace to beg the Emperor's grandfather to take back his life." Feng Mingwei said with a smile.
Shen Qiuyue was stunned, with a hint of obvious joy in her eyes, "Are you telling the truth?"
Feng Mingwei looked at Wang An with a smile, "Yeah."
King An looked at Shen Qiuyue and said angrily and sadly: "Yue'er, are you lying to me about what you told me in Mingyue Palace?"
Shen Qiuyue's expression changed. She felt that she had been tricked by Feng Mingwei, and her whole body felt cold when she was looked at by King An's angry eyes. She hurriedly said: "No...Brother An...it's all Feng Mingwei's fault. She just deliberately sows discord."
Feng Mingwei smiled and said, "I will go to the Dragon Heart Palace to tell the emperor's grandfather to take back your marriage decree. I will leave first."
Feng Mingwei said and ran away carrying the food box.
King An and Shen Qiuyue both looked ugly and hurried to catch up.
…
"Grandfather, don't think about eating it yet. What I just told you, do you agree to it?"
"You have to help me this time."
The Supreme Emperor looked at the table of delicious food and drooled with greed, "Isn't it your intention to grant a marriage? Why do you want to take it back? A marriage is not a child's play!"
Feng Mingwei took the chopsticks and refused to give him food, "When did I say that I wanted you to grant me a marriage? It's all your own will. I meant to reconcile with King Lie, but you don't allow it."
"Now because of your imperial edict, Shen Qiuyue and Murong Xiao are pointing at my nose and scolding me viciously every day. I really can't stand it anymore. You take back your orders and let them toss themselves. I don't want to take the blame again."
Feng Mingwei quickly told him everything that happened in front of the imperial dining room in a concise manner.
The Supreme Emperor frowned after hearing this. He wanted to scold them, but he was hungry now and didn't know how Feng Mingwei cooked it. Just looking at it made him want to eat it.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
"Eunuch Gui, go to the Shen family and Prince An's residence to take back the imperial edict." The Supreme Emperor immediately ordered Eunuch Gui, and then looked at Feng Mingwei, "Girl, you can eat it now!"
The goal was achieved, Feng Mingwei happily handed him the chopsticks, "Well, Grandfather, please eat slowly."
The Emperor took the chopsticks and started eating. When he tasted the fish fillet, he immediately thought it was a delicacy in the world.
Not long after Eunuch Gui left, a young eunuch came in and reported, "To report to the Supreme Emperor, Prince An and Miss Shen are outside asking for an audience."
The Supreme Emperor stopped eating and said, "I don't have time. The imperial decree granted me marriage and I took it back. I told King An that if he wants to marry a wife, he should find his father."
Feng Mingwei smiled so brightly that she couldn't see her teeth, and she hurriedly served her ancestors' meal, "Emperor Grandfather, you have some soup, and this millet porridge, it's best for your stomach."
The Supreme Emperor hurriedly took a sip of the soup and asked, "Is this medicinal soup?"
"Yes, it's for spleen and stomach. I want to condition your stomach and intestines so that your food will taste better in the future."
"You also need to eat more blood-replenishing things. I will have to give you acupuncture and poison tomorrow."
The Supreme Emperor was in a good mood and said, "Haha, you are still filial and attentive. You have stayed in Longxin Palace to attend to illnesses these days. If others come to you, you can ignore them."
Feng Mingwei smiled and said, "Yes!"
…
Because Feng Mingwei just said a word and the Supreme Emperor accepted the marriage decree, which made the Shen family a little panicked.
But Shen Qiuyue was happy, "Mom, that's great, I don't have to marry Prince An."
Mrs. Shen was not as optimistic as she was, "Yue'er, you think things are too simple. You and King An broke off your engagement, but King Lie didn't say he wanted to marry you."
"Besides, are you sure you want to marry King Lie as the concubine, and you don't want to marry King An as the main concubine?"
Shen Qiuyue didn't quite understand, and said disdainfully: "Mom, what do you mean, I don't like Prince An... If it weren't for Feng Mingwei's obstruction, how could I be engaged to a idiot like him?"
Mrs. Shen shook her head secretly, "Yue'er is now vacant in the East Palace. Among the princes, King An is the most favored and King Lie is the least favored. Now you can see that no matter how hard King Lie works or how good he is, the emperor does not like him. Then he has no chance of being in that position, do you understand?"
Shen Qiuyue's heartbeat couldn't help but rapid, "Does that mean you can become the crown princess by marrying Prince An?"
Mrs. Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Your father means to choose Prince An. Yue'er, after marrying Prince An, you will be a mother to the world, but what will you get by marrying Prince Lie? Do you still expect him to divorce in the future? Feng Mingwei made you a concubine? But then Prince An was already the prince, have you ever thought about it?!"
"But hasn't the imperial edict of marriage been withdrawn?" Shen Qiuyue thought of her mother's love for the world, and she yearned for it in her heart.
"If Prince An likes you, he will ask for another imperial edict."
