I will only protect you for the rest of my life48

No one else knew what the two talked about in the room that night. The eunuch knew it only by looking at the emperor's expression after he came out.

There were no other palace people here tonight, the eunuch had a lamp in his hand, and the distance between the two was not too far, so he joked with a smile.

"It seems that His Majesty has found a suitable candidate."

He was a little surprised that His Majesty made this decision. After all, the little princess is the only daughter of His Royal Highness Prince An. If she is betrothed to General Xiao Huo, the military power she finally regained may have to be handed over again.

But thinking about King An's actions over the years, the eunuch could understand in his heart that King An had really paved the way for the little princess step by step since she was a child, so that she could live an innocent, romantic and worry-free life.

Apart from helping to support the little princess if she caused any trouble, the two parties had almost no contact, and the little girl was not allowed to know anything about the court.

The emperor smiled and snorted, but did not refute. He only changed the subject and asked about another matter.

"Do you think what happened tonight was a coincidence or intentional?"

The eunuch suppressed his smile and spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty is suspicious..."

But this doesn't make sense. If the prince wanted the help of the Prime Minister's Palace, why didn't he just complete the engagement with the legitimate lady?

Seeing that he did not dare to discuss royal matters, the emperor did not feel disappointed. He only looked up at the moon in the sky with an unclear tone.

"What you take the initiative to bring to me may not necessarily be the same thing as what I want to see."

The eunuch lowered his head silently after hearing this.

The rest of the journey was very quiet. After sending His Majesty to the Queen's courtyard, the eunuch turned around and went down to arrange other matters.

Hearing the sound, the queen, who was leaning on the bed with her head pressed, raised her eyes slightly, closed her clothes and got out of bed.

"Your Majesty is back."

The emperor hummed, sat down at the main seat, and took a sip of the tea that was brought to him. It was his favorite taste.

As soon as the two masters sat down, the door was pushed open and the palace servants came over with dishes in an orderly manner.

The Queen herself set the dishes and chopsticks for him and explained with a smile.

"I didn't have time to serve the banquet just now. I'm afraid Your Majesty didn't have time to eat."

The emperor hummed and his expression softened slightly.

After all the palace people had retreated and there were only two people left in the room, the emperor slowly spoke.

"I thought you would plead for the prince."

The queen's expression remained unchanged, "Your Majesty has made his own decision regarding the prince's affairs. As the prince, he caused such trouble at the palace banquet, so he should temper his character more."

The emperor sighed in his heart and told her the ending.

"The concubine will be appointed as the concubine to the prince, but the choice of the main concubine will have to be re-planned."

Seeing that she smiled and nodded without any sign of unwillingness, the emperor ignored the topic and asked instead.

"What do you think of Li Chi's character?"

Although she didn't know why he asked this, the queen thought about it carefully.

"My concubine has not had much contact with General Xiao Huo, but the child seems to be an excellent person, with good character and a calm mind. He is much better than his peers."

"Then...how about letting him be Ning Le's husband?"

Knowing that the Queen loves Ning Le as much as he does, and that King An and Princess An are far away from the border, they are almost the little girl's parents, so naturally the Queen's approval is required for this choice.

Just thinking about the conversation just now, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had never discussed this matter with the queen before.

As expected, the queen immediately frowned when she heard that she was going to choose a husband for Gardena.

"Ning Le is still young, so it's too early to talk about marriage, and the two children have little contact. It's better to wait."

As he spoke, he remembered something again and shook his head.

"The general will also be stationed at the border from now on. If he gets married, wouldn't he be a living widow? There is only an old general in the general's house, so life will be very inconvenient."
