C449 Farewell on departure (1/2)
Zhou Chengdi looked at Lian Fang Xing and said, ”It seems that you really do have a deep affection for Ling Yue'er. She rejected you in front of everyone, and you didn't forget to plead for her before you left.”
”…” Lian Fu did not deny this. He then nodded and earnestly said, ”But please, Your Majesty, forgive Princess Eleven.”
”Forget it, forget it!” Seeing how many times you have been unrelenting and have insisted on pleading on Yue'er's behalf, I shall grant you my request. As a reward for your departure, let the Changchun Palace regain the service of a servant. The Eleventh Princess can live as before. ” Finally, Emperor Zhou Cheng let go of the matter and let Princess Eleven go.
”Thank you, your majesty, for your grace. I will not disappoint your majesty, and I will build up my career as soon as possible.”
”Go. The imperial edict will arrive at the Prime Minister's manor shortly.” Zhou Cheng Di raised his hand and said.
”Yes, I will follow your orders.” Concealed Light stood up and turned to walk out of the Hall of Rongyuan. A relieved expression was revealed on his face.
Zhou Chengdi stood in the hall, quietly looking at the receding figure of the hand seal as he murmured, ”Strange, there are so many sons and nephews from nobility. Why do I have a feeling about this child that I can't even tell myself.”
Changchun Palace.
”Princess!” ”Princess!” While Princess Eleven and Feng Lingyue were lugging a bucket of water up the stairs, a loud cry suddenly came from behind them.
She was surprised for a moment, but when she turned her head, she saw Gift running towards her. He took the bucket from her and quickly carried it up the stairs, then ran back to her. Seeing that Princess Eleven was wearing a coarse shirt and her hair hadn't been braided properly, she couldn't help but sniff and kneel on the ground, saying, ”This servant knows when to see the princess.”
”Greetings, you … why did you come?” Princess Eleven can't react for a long time.
”This servant is at the Raccoon Department. I just received Eunuch Feng's decree saying that it was due to the Emperor's grace. This servant will return to Changchun Palace to serve the princess.” Master Li said while crying.
”This... ”How could it be …” Why did royal father suddenly change his mind?
”Princess, my good princess, you've suffered. Your servant is about to die from heartache.” When Zhi Li saw that the skin and flesh of Eleven's hand was torn, his fingers thick and hard, and his heart ached to the point of tears, ”In the future, all these jobs will be taken care of by a servant. Princess, you have to pamper her.”
”It's good that you're back. Greetings, it's good that you're back.” Eleventh Princess only said that her father was the one who had shown mercy to the Emperor, but she was already exceptionally happy inside. She grabbed the hand of her personal palace maid and jumped up …
After a while, not only did they greet him courteously, but two of the mama came back to serve him. The Changchun Palace was finally rather popular and was no longer as deserted as they used to be.
When Lian Fu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the imperial edict arrived shortly after. The imperial edict said that Lian Tou would be sent to the mountain customs camp. They would depart the next day.
When the Lian Residence received this imperial edict, everyone was shocked. They never thought that the Lian family's only direct son would join the army. Furthermore, he came so suddenly.
Especially Lian Yanqing. As he held the imperial edict, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. After he received the decree to express his gratitude and sent away the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, his expression immediately changed.
