”When you become stronger, aren't you afraid that someone will marry the little girl before you?” Ye Ao's voice carried a trace of disappointment. If you like it, go chase it, what kind of man would be hesitant?!
”I won't let that day come too late.” Ye Qingxuan naturally knew that this farewell was something that he did not know when he would meet her again.
But he was not worried, Ranran was not that kind of person with shallow eyes. Furthermore, she had a brother who was extremely fond of her, an ordinary person would not be able to approach Mo Ranran.
Once he becomes strong enough, then he would have the qualifications to go to the Mo Mansion to propose marriage.
”Good, that's more like me, Ye Ao's son.” Looking at Ye Qingxuan who was filled with ambition, Ye Ao happily patted Ye Qingxuan's shoulder. His voice did not hide the pride he had for his son.
Inside the Imperial Study, the emperor was currently eating, while the Noble Consort Xue was beside him.
Because the child's month was still young, Noble Consort Xue's stomach did not appear. She did not seem to have changed, and was still as charming as ever.
”This concubine knows that Your Majesty's appetite hasn't been good for the past few days, and that even his entire body has lost weight. This concubine specially instructed the people from Imperial Study to make the soup lighter. Have you tasted it, Your Majesty?” Noble Consort Xue scooped a bowl of soup for the emperor and passed it to him.
Mu Ling looked at Noble Consort Xue and caught the soup, but after drinking a few mouthfuls, he put the soup down.
Seeing that Mu Ling had only drank a few mouthfuls, Noble Consort Xue could not help but advise, ”Does the emperor want to drink a few more mouthfuls?”
I don't have any appetite, so it's fine to eat less. On the other hand, you yourself haven't eaten much even though you've been serving me. Come, eat more. Mu Ling said as he helped Noble Consort Xue carry the dishes.
”Thank you for your concern, your majesty.” Noble Consort Xue took a few symbolic bites of the dish before putting down the chopsticks in his hand.
”Your majesty, chenqie heard that the empress wanted to pair up with Xuer and Young Miss Mo Mansion at the welcoming banquet a few days ago?” Noble Consort Xue asked as he observed Mu Ling's reaction.
”Yes.” Mu Ling replied indifferently.
”The Emperor didn't agree, right?” The Noble Consort Xue's voice carried a trace of nervousness.
Mu Ling glanced at Noble Consort Xue, and said slowly: ”If you have something to say, just say it, no need to dawdle.”
The Noble Consort Xue hesitated for a moment, then said: ”The reason chenqie came here today, was also to propose an imperial decree for Xuer.”
”You want to match Xuer with Mo Ranran?” Mu Ling couldn't help but look at her.
”Of course not, actually, Xuer and the young miss of the Palace of Prefectures had long shared a heart and soul relationship. This concubine has come to seek an imperial edict for Xuer and the young miss of the Palace of Prefectures.” Seeing that Mu Ling had misunderstood, the Noble Consort Xue immediately explained.
”The young mistress of the Prime Minister's Estate?” Mu Ling narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the young miss of the Palace of Generals was already past her prime, right? Why hasn't he married yet?
”Yes, she's the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate. His Majesty has seen her before.” Noble Consort Xue repeated.
The emperor sifted through the memories in his mind and finally remembered the appearance of the young miss of the Residence of General's estate.
”Are the two of them really in love?” Mu Ling's voice contained a trace of disbelief.
He remembered that the young lady of the House of the Generals had a rough physique, a plain appearance, and a plain upbringing. As the daughter-in-law of the imperial family, such a person seemed to be somewhat unable to do anything about it …
”I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know yet, but this young miss of the palace had saved Xuer's life before, and the two of them went back and forth, meeting each other's eyes. Xuer's skin was thin, and didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that the emperor would think that he coveted the power and influence of the palace and keep it a secret. As your mother, I really can't take it anymore, so I can only come and beg the emperor. If the emperor feels that it's not right, then chenqie will go back and persuade Xuer to speak with the young miss of the Prime Minister's Palace. After all, the young miss of the Prime Minister's family never married out for Xuer's sake. ” When the Noble Consort Xue finished speaking, he sneaked a peek at Mu Ling, and saw that Mu Ling was deep in thought. He didn't even dare to make a sound.
