C360 Fifth Princes request (2/2)

After saying that, the Emperor flicked his sleeve and left.

This scene made all the ministers present look at each other in dismay. I wonder what the Emperor's thoughts are exactly. If the Emperor was unwilling to allow the Fifth Prince the opportunity to fight for the throne, why would he agree to the Nangong family's engagement?

The Nangong Family had never been peaceful. This was a chance for the Fifth Prince.

But if the emperor agreed, why was he so angry? The Emperor didn't seem to be this angry about the matter of the ninth princess being taken away by the assassins. Instead, he left without a care for the others.

”Return to the palace.” The Queen ordered with a straight face. As these words rang out, it also meant that the parade for today's Hanukkah had come to an end. The royal family began to disperse.

The princes and princes all returned to their manors, while the princes followed His Majesty back to the palace. On the other hand, the citizens of the city spoke freely and confidently. It was as if there were many things that were worthy for them to discuss about tonight's day.

At night, the moonlight shone down lightly on every corner of the ground. In the shadows. Mu Ru Yue tossed and turned the entire day before finally returning to the Royal Mansion. At this moment, the steward was anxiously waiting in front of the manor.

Just as Mu Ru Yue was about to enter, she heard a gentle voice say, ”Big sister Royal Consort, what a coincidence.” As she spoke, the girl went around Mu Ru Yue and went before the butler. She smiled and asked, ”Is the butler here to pick me up? ”Today, I've dealt with the issues of many people during the Festival of Flowers and am truly exhausted.”

The person who was speaking was none other than Lady Wan, who had gone to the Asahi Festival and did not reveal her talent. Mu Ru Yue raised her brows at Lady Wan, a little shocked.

When Lady Wan was there, she was very obedient and didn't fight with her. She didn't say anything provocative. Why did she become like this when she came back?

The butler didn't expect Lady Wan to return with Mu Ru Yue one after the other, even wanting to snatch the lantern from his hands. Lady Wan chuckled and looked at the butler. Seeing that the butler did not give her any lanterns, she said, ”What's wrong? Is the steward not even willing to give me a lantern? ”

”This …” The butler hesitated.

”Could it be that this lantern belongs to elder sister?” Lady Wan's face was filled with surprise, then she smiled and said, ”Sister is older than me, and you are also my master. I don't think you will fight with me over this lantern. Just give it to me.”

Lady Wan said, about to snatch it again.

The butler was still hesitant. Mu Ru Yue just looked on with a smile, not saying anything. The steward was in trouble. Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything. If he took out the lantern, her aunt would have launched an attack in the next second.

He had just established a good relationship with the princess, so he couldn't just destroy it like this. Thinking about this, the steward became even more troubled. But at this moment, a cold voice sounded out, ”Give her the lantern.”

The steward's eyes lit up at the voice, but the steward was at a loss as to what to say. He turned around and looked at the red clothed man who had just walked out of the mansion with a lantern in his hand with an incredulous expression on his face.

It was hard to believe that their prince would say such words in front of an imperial concubine. Could it be that these two had quarreled?

The steward was full of doubts, while Mu Ru Yue just watched indifferently without saying a word. Lady Wan'er, on the other hand, grabbed the lantern with a happy face. She then went up to Feng Chen'er and said, ”Brother Feng Chen, you are still thinking about Wan'er. I am very grateful.”

Feng Chen glanced over with her peach blossom eyes and said, ”You are a guest of the Prince's Mansion. It is only right that I give you the lantern. Moreover, this king naturally has the best chance to receive this king's consort. ”

As she spoke, Feng Zi walked around the woman and stood in front of Mu Ru Yue. With a slight smile in her eyes, she said with a voice that was almost gentle, ”A Yue, let's head back.”

Mu Ru Yue looked at the man in front of her. He was dressed in red under the moonlight. With his exquisite facial features, he looked like a demoness under the night sky. People didn't want to look away.

After a long while, under the gaze of the man, Mu Ru Yue took the lantern in his hand and said, ”Alright, let's head home.”
