Peace Palace.

As soon as Tuoba Jing returned to the palace, he first went to his mother's residence.

He knew that even though he was a favorite and the two higher ups were discussing the same thing, Su Mo Yun was still a candidate who was eliminated from the list of candidates to be the Palace Head of the Emperor and his wife.

Moreover, Su Mo Yun's temper did not match with the Royal Family's goal of succession. If he were to inform the Emperor about this matter, or even make a summary of it, if Su Mo Yun did not agree, then the Emperor would disagree.

As a result, he made the first move, which was to go to the general's estate in great fanfare, before returning to the palace to ”discuss” with his imperial parents and imperial concubines.

Even if royal father was not willing to allow him to marry Su Mo Yun, he was afraid he would not be able to do so.

The news of him going to propose had probably spread throughout the capital long ago!

”Mufei!”

As he was thinking, Tuoba Jing had already arrived at the Peace Palace.

”Wang'er!” Upon seeing Tuoba Jing, Wang Zhaoyi immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly came out to welcome him.

”Wang'er, when did you leave?” Wang'er, when did you leave? When Wang Zhaoyi saw his beloved son, a smile appeared on his face. Even the smile on his face was replaced with a hint of anger.

”Mufei, your son wishes to return and give mufei a pleasant surprise. If you say so in advance, there will be no more surprises!” The corners of Tuoba's lips curled up as the smile on his face remained unchanged.

”Are you still talking about surprises!?” Suddenly, Wang Zhaoyi's voice also carried a hint of rebuke.

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the hall.

”Wang'er, you'd better not play dumb with me!” Wang Zhaoyi sat down and looked at his son sitting at the bottom of the hall. His expression turned serious as he asked, ”Where did you go during those six hours?”

After being suddenly asked by Wang Zhaoyi, Tuoba Jing chuckled lightly. He was not afraid, and only extended his hand to pat Wang Zhaoyi's palm to comfort him.

”I presume mufei already knows about it?”

He did not intend to hide it.

Moreover, the reason he came here in the first place was for mufei to help him speak up in front of royal father. There was no longer a need to hide things from mufei.

”Wang'er, I don't believe what others have said. I only believe what you have said.” Wang Zhaoyi understood what he was saying, but he did not give up.

When Tuoba Jing came over to speak, she did not reject the young lady from the Su palace and agreed to marry the second young miss. However, this did not mean that her son would only be able to marry the second young miss.

”Wang'er, tell me, what exactly happened?”

From the eyes of his mother's consort, Tuoba Jing already understood what his mother meant.

But since things had progressed to this point, he had to first settle the issue of mother concubine. Only then would he be able to force mother concubine to change her mind and convince royal father.

After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: ”Mufei, the rumors outside are true. Today, I did indeed say that I will only marry Su Mo Yun.”

”What!”

Although he had long since prepared himself mentally, hearing this news from his own child caused Wang Zhaoyi's heart to tremble.

”Wang'er, why did you …” Wang Zhaoyi was slightly angered. She knew that her child did not have the intention to fight for the throne. However, even if he was a man, how could he not have three wives and four concubines?

If he couldn't say it out loud, wasn't he humiliating the royal family?

”Mufei, don't panic.” Seeing that, Tuoba Jing hurriedly went forward to comfort her, ”Mufei, that Su Family's second young miss is not as unruly and headstrong as the rumors say. On the contrary, she is a very virtuous and virtuous woman, and this son will only marry her once in his life.

”But …” Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyi was still in disbelief.

”Mufei,” Tuoba Jing called out to Wang Zhaoyi, before continuing, ”Your son dares to ask mufei, if mufei is staying in this palace compound, will she be happy one day?”
