Chapter 133: Grant a Marriage
Grant a marriage!
The emperor’s second degree was actually to grant a marriage, and make her marry the crown prince Xia Ying!
Miao Yiniang was the person who knew most about the grudge between Xia Ying and Chu Mo, despite whatever she wanted. The emperor’s motives were enough to make her feel astonished: “The peach tree hasn’t even been planted, and you’re already plucking it?”
Chu Mo was also extremely furious, and he also felt extreme disappointment towards the emperor.
In the two times Chu Mo met the emperor, he always felt the ruler was an extremely open-minded person. The scope of vision between the emperor and the princes was the gap between heaven and earth.
Like how the emperor clearly knew about Chu Mo and the crown prince’s grudges, but he still favored Chu Mo. He even dared place Chu Mo in important positions. This was the bearing and vision of a ruler, as well as strong self-confidence!
But what was the meaning of this decree?
The wording of the decree wasn’t harsh, but there was no consulting!
It said Miao Yiniang was a former Vermilion Bird Continent high level disciple. She was of noble birth, good character, and excellent temperament……although the sect collapsed, but she possessed firm will, and determined self-improvement. Such an outstanding woman completely matched the future ruler of Da Xia, the current crown prince!
The two marrying would be beneficial for the Misty Palace Royal Academy’s future.
The decree also mentioned, once the secular world sect was established, not only will it attract the attention of current enemies, but it will also be coveted by countless Azure Dragon continent sects. In order to guarantee the unfolding of the Misty Palace Royal Academy doesn’t suffer any influence, the two sides ought to establish an even closer relationship.
Now when facing any difficulties in the future, the Da Xia royal family will have even more reason to protect the Misty Palace Royal Academy and Miao Yiniang.
By only looking at the decree, and not knowing the people involved, one would certainly think the emperor was too brilliant, and Miao Yiniang was also qualified.
She was a sect disciple without a home to return to. By marrying his majesty the crown prince, she will become a princess! She can’t fly up and become a phoenix, but at the very least……this was enough to show the royal family’s sincerity and importance attached.
Yes, a person who doesn’t understand the grudge between Chu Mo and the crown prince would certainly think this way.
But the people with a common understanding of the events were all astonished.
“What spell is the emperor under? He actually put out such a stupid decree?” The always joking Xu Fufu carried an ice-cold expression at this time. His eyes flickered with a furious light: “Does he want to make this thing die in the womb?”
Chu Mo quickly cooled down after his fury. He sat there, appearing bitter, and painfully said: “This matter……blame me!”
“How could I blame you?” Miao Yiniang looked at Chu Mo: “The ones to blame……are all of us. Our experience still wasn’t enough.”
“No, it’s not like that.” Chu Mo somewhat bitterly spoke: “I thought of the threats from the Vermilion Bird continent sects, Vermilion Bird Association, and even……the Azure Dragon continent sects. I thought of them all. Moreover, I thought of ways to respond. But…….I overlooked the emperor’s view towards this matter, and his appetite.”
Chu Mo sighed. He looked to Miao Yiniang and Xu Fufu: “Before, I believed without a doubt. I only needed to add the royal family name to the sect, and grant the emperor the position of leader. Then later on, continuously train high-level talent for the emperor. The emperor would certainly be moved, and finally agree. However, I underestimated the appeal of the Misty Palace heritage to the secular world people. I forgot the emperor is a man of the mortal world. He isn’t a god! Faced with the heritage of a top grade sect, merely being the spiritual leader couldn’t fill his appetite. His thinking…….was to take this heritage and power, and fully make it become the royal family’s power!”
Miao Yiniang silently nodded: “I never dared to expose this portion of the heritage after all these years. It was exactly because of this reason.”
Chu Mo looked at Miao Yiniang: “Why didn’t you stop me?”
Miao Yiniang bitterly smiled: “My existence is no longer a secret. This heritage would be exposed to the people sooner or later. We actually had no other choice. I think……the emperor should take a little. Don’t we have nothing to fear under this decree?”
Chu Mo was silent a moment, then nodded: “Right, otherwise, the emperor would have consulted with me first.”
