"Mother, don't say such things. If you had found me earlier, maybe Shen Yubai would have hidden his true nature, and I might still be his wife today."
Dongfang Yanran's eyes immediately became very stern, "Don't be afraid! No matter who Shen Yubai is, as long as you don't want to be with him, mother can help you reconcile! No, it is easier for him to reconcile, so we will just do it directly Divorce him!"
The princess and the favored princess are qualified to divorce their husbands.
Based on what Shen Yubai and the Shen family did to Huanwan, it would be easy to divorce him ten or eight times!
Although Lin Wanyi decided to become stronger in this life and solve problems by herself, she has always done that.
But even so, seeing her mother protecting her so firmly and without any bottom line made her feel warm in her heart.
It feels so good to be protected.
**
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.
The emperor, dressed in dragon robes, leaned on the Arhat couch and took a sip of ginseng tea. He raised his eyes and looked at his third son sitting in a wheelchair.
"You mean, Na Li Wanyi finally chose the banquet speech today?"
The third prince nodded. He explained today's events in detail and whispered: "Originally, many people were vying to marry Li Wanyi, but Shen Yubai said that the night Li Wanyi wanted to marry him, it was It was spent in the Governor's Mansion. When everyone saw that this matter was related to the banquet, they no longer dared to fight for it."
After hearing this, the emperor made a clanging sound and put the porcelain bowl in his hand next to him, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
The third prince said: "It should be true, because neither Li Wanyi nor the banquet denied it at that time."
The emperor stopped talking and half-squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The third prince was also very uneasy, but he knew that he would definitely come back to see the saint after the banquet, so he gritted his teeth and spoke out what was in his heart.
"Father, I think that Li Wan's choice of speech for the banquet today is really a helpless move. The Rongcheng Palace will definitely not agree to her marrying the eunuch. It's better... let me marry her!"
The emperor was originally wondering about what he just said, but when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the third prince with stern eyes, but his tone was very gentle, "Oh, so you are also interested in Li Wanyi?"
The third prince's heart suddenly tightened and he said quickly: "No, no, my father also knows that my son is already a useless person, so he has no right to talk about love. The main reason is that my son wants to solve his father's problems. After all, the power of the Rongcheng Palace So old, if Li Wan wants to marry a loser like Er Chen..."
At this moment, Zhao Fu'an walked in with his back hunched over, "Your Majesty, the Governor of the Banquet wishes to see you."
"Xuan."
"yes."
Zhao Fu'an saw a flash of panic in the third prince's eyes. Without even raising his eyelids, he walked out with an hunched waist, came to the door, raised his hands to the banquet speech waiting there and said: "Master Banquet, Your Majesty invites you to come in." .”
"Um."
Yan Ci stepped in and walked side by side with Zhao Fu'an when he heard the other party say in a lowered voice: "Captain, the third prince was just asking your Majesty to marry Princess Gu Lun."
Yan Ci's eyebrows moved, a flash of anger flashed through him, and the corner of his mouth curled up, but his smile was very dangerous.
One or two, what the hell are they worth fighting for?
They are all tired of living!
When Yan Ci walked in, the third prince was telling the emperor about today's Cuju competition.
Seeing the banquet speech, the third prince smiled and said: "Today's banquet, Governor, is so elegant. None of the royal family and nobles in the capital can compare with you."
The banquet smiled modestly and said, "Your Highness, the Third Highness, is ridiculous. No matter how charming he is, what can he do? Zajia is a person without roots."
The light words instantly froze the smile on the third prince's lips. He quickly turned to look at his father, and found that the light in his father's eyes also flashed!
The third prince's heart sank suddenly!
A single word in the banquet speech reminded the emperor that even if Princess Gu Lun married a prince with a weak leg, it would still humiliate the Rongcheng palace, and it would not unbalance the strength of the seventh prince and the ninth prince.
But the point is, although the third prince has leg problems, he has the ability to have children. If his child has the support of the Rongcheng Palace, hey, he can also take the position of crown prince in the future!
Wanting to marry Princess Gu Lun, isn't it just Zhao Zhao's wild ambition?
The third prince's back was covered in cold sweat. He knew that his father was the most suspicious, and he must have become suspicious at this moment. He must say something, otherwise all his previous hibernation would be in vain!
Thinking of this, the third prince suddenly looked at the banquet, "By the way, Governor Banquet, what exactly did Shen Yubai and Princess Gu Lun do in your house that night? Oh, I'm just curious about what can be done. All night long?"
It was obvious that the three of them all had friendly smiles on their faces, but the swords and swords had turned around several times.
Especially after listening to the third prince's words, the emperor's eyes also fell on Yan Ci.
After all, he was also very confused about this matter just now.
After holding up the Buddhist beads at the banquet, he said calmly: "What can I do all night long, except drink and chat. That day I went to attend Shen Yubai's wedding, and he said that he had a treasure, and he must give it to him with his own hands. In order to deceive others, I brought Princess Gu Lun, who was the Crown Prince’s wife at the time, with me.”
The third prince was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. He frowned and said, "What does he have to say to you all night long?"
Yan Ci smiled, "Of course he wants to curry favor with me. One whole night is not enough. Not only him, but also his cousin His Highness Seventh Prince wants to curry favor with me, right? Your Highness Third Prince, because of your leg disease, So unlike His Highness the Seventh Highness and His Highness the Ninth Highness, I naturally don’t know the value of you.”
The banquet is the emperor's number one confidant. Those two highnesses are busy trying to win over him. What else don't you understand?
Of course it’s to seize the direct descendant!
And these words in the banquet speech made the third prince feel heartbroken again!
You lame man got involved in some heirloom thing. Could it be that you have some evil intentions?
The third prince's face instantly turned pale, and his palms were covered in cold sweat!
The emperor was thoughtful and said, "Is this why you let Shen Yubai enter Dali Temple not long after?"
Yanci nodded, "After all, I want to give the Seventh Prince some face, but Dali Temple is an important place, so I only gave Shen Yubai the position of director of Dali Temple. However, he neglected his duties and had not made any achievements for a long time after joining the job, so the former In two days, I will submit a letter to His Majesty."
He gave the face to the Seventh Prince, but Shen Yubai himself was useless.
The emperor remembered that the memorial he saw on the document yesterday was indeed a letter stating that Shen Yubai had neglected his duties and was not qualified for this position.
Faced with the olive branch offered by the two princes, Yan Ci, as the emperor's confidant, naturally could not accept it.
But the two princes were the emperor's favorite candidates for the crown prince, so the banquet speech could not completely turn against them.
Therefore, the way the banquet was done from beginning to end was watertight, without any problems, it was perfect!
The doubts in the emperor's eyes completely dissipated. He frowned and looked at the third prince, "Third brother, your legs are inconvenient and you are tired today. Go back to your house and rest early. Besides, you are not young anymore. Let Concubine Lin help you later." You should look for a noble girl with a well-behaved personality to be your principal concubine."
The third prince's face turned pale, and he felt extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to hold his hands and say, "Thank you for your concern, father. I'll have to trouble Concubine Lin."
The emperor waved his hand and signaled the third prince to retreat.
The third prince handed over his hand and allowed the eunuch to push him away. However, before he could go out, he heard the banquet speech and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has been completed. All I have to do is send you your imperial edict of marriage."
The third prince's heart felt dull after hearing this.
As expected, it was his father who ordered the banquet. He was impulsive and careless today!
But at this time, the banquet knew that the third prince was no longer worth mentioning, but now the emperor has not completely passed the test!
Sure enough, the next moment the emperor spoke very slowly and kindly: "Banci, although you are a eunuch, are you still interested in women?"
