Suddenly, Xu Ji Mo's words echoed in the entire palace hall.

"Zhen recalled that Yi'er is betrothed to the Eldest daughter of Prime Minister Xuan of the Xuan Family. Since Zhen had bestowed them an Imperial Engagement, it would not take long before they would share the marriage wine and become husband and wife. Since it is already like that, why must they wait? Yi'er is already old enough to have a wife and three concubines while Eldest Young Miss Xuan has already reached the marriageable age few months ago."

Hearing Xu Ji Mo's words, even if he did not directly say that it was Xu Qinw.a.n.g and XuanRong, the court officials and ministers already understood Xu Ji Mo's intention.

"Indeed, what His Majesty said is correct!"

"His Majesty truly loves His Highness!"

"Indeed! Indeed!"

"This Imperial Marriage is truly a blessing!"

"They would definitely become a pair of mandarin ducks[1]!"

"Yes! Yes! They are a match made in heaven!"

"They perfectly fit with each other!"

"Hahahah! Such a good fortune for Prime Minister Xuan's Eldest Di daughter!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The entire palace court were filled with good words and happy laughter, as if everyone were celebrating for the union of Xu Qinw.a.n.g's Palace and Prime Minister's Residence.

Only one person was not in the mood to celebrate, and that was XuanRong's maternal grandfather, Chen Zi Tao.

Great General Chen stood in the middle of the crowd, not responding to his fellow officials' congratulatory words. He knew, behind those smiles were full of contempt and goading. Their words were full of hidden insults, mocking him and his granddaughter inside their heart.

He wanted to oppose the Emperor's decision but what could he do? He was only a small official. Even if his family held a great portion of military power, in the end, the one who was above them was the Emperor himself.

Sensing Chen Zi Tao's displeasure, Xu Ji Mo's eyes narrowed.

"My beloved Official Chen, what are your thoughts about it?"

----------

While the imperial court was busy, Xu Fei Yi was reclining on a chair.

Mu Qing was standing beside him.

"How's the plan?"

Mu Qing stared at Xu Fei Yi. Up until now, he still could not believe that His Highness was not mentally ill. Looking at Xu Fei Yi's side profile, Mu Qing could see the Late Emperor in him.

Not hearing Mu Qing's reply, Xu Fei Yi turned his head and looked at him.

Due to the pressure of Xu Fei Yi's gaze, Mu Qing was pulled away from being daze.

".... Your Highness should not worry. This subordinate already send someone to give ideas to the Empress."

"Oh?"

Xu Fei Yi's eyes darkened. He recalled the looks Xu Ji An gave to his RongRong. He knew that the Empress also saw the desire in his eyes. It would not be long before the Empress move. Instead of allowing the Empress to harm his RongRong, why not help her in stopping Xu Ji An's delusion?

Xu Fei Yi smiled evilly.

Since it was like that. Why not let them send RongRong in his palace?
