Chapter 236: Your Majesty, please take back your order!
Inside Yongshou Palace
Ji Yao, dressed in a dragon robe, sat majestically on the couch and spoke slowly to Feng Jun.
"Feng Jun, Xue'er is sixteen now, right?"
Murong Hua was dressed in a noble phoenix robe, but there was a hint of paleness and fatigue between his brows. When he heard the words of His Majesty, his expression paused slightly.
"In an ordinary family, Thirteen would already be a father, and Xue'er is not young anymore. Does Feng Jun have a favorite young lady of the right age?"
Murong's face changed when he heard this, and his hands tightened slightly under his sleeves.
He restrained his expression slightly and a dignified smile appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, you are Xue'er's mother. I alone cannot make the decision on marriage matters."
Ji Ruxue, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but blush a little with shyness when she heard Ji Yao's words.
Why did the Queen Mother mention his marriage?
Are you going to arrange a marriage for him?
He is sixteen years old, and his nephews are already five or six years old, but he is still not...
If she really wants to get married, I wonder who her mother will choose for her?
Somehow, a stunningly beautiful face flashed through my mind.
Ji Ruxue's face turned red. Why did he think of her?
Before he could feel shy, the sound of conversation from inside came again, with a hint of solemnity in the words.
Ji Yao stared at Murong Hua with a serious expression: "Mr. Feng, do you know the purpose of the Tibetan Rong delegation's visit to Dongzhou this time?"
Murong Hua's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty knows."
Ji Yao's eyes flickered with complexity, and she said slowly: "So what you mean is..."
Murong Hua suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, and knelt in front of Ji Yao with a plop.
Ji Yao and Ji Ruxue outside the door were startled.
"Feng Jun, what are you doing!?"
Ji Yao frowned and said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Murong Hua folded her hands and bowed to Ji Yao, with a sad expression: "Xue'er is still young, and I only have this one son. I really can't bear to let him go."
Although Ji Yao was angry, she did not blame Feng Jun because it was understandable.
He just sighed and said, "How can I bear to do this? But the Tibetans are watching closely. If I don't fulfill my promise, the Eastern Zhou will be plunged into war and chaos."
Murong Hua knew this, but he couldn't bear to let his son suffer in marriage.
"Your Majesty, can you change the prince?"
Murong Hua pleaded with red eyes and a sad look.
Ji Yao shook her head and said in a deep voice: "This is the rule passed down by our ancestors. I can't do anything about it."
Murong Hua's face turned even paler.
"Mother Queen, Father Queen, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, startling the two of them.
Ji Ruxue became more and more confused as she listened outside the door.
What does it mean that the father is reluctant to let him go as his only son?
He's fine, why would you be reluctant to give him up?
And what does this have to do with the Tibetan-Rong mission?
Why does what the Queen Mother said the same thing as the Second Princess?
what is the problem?
Ji Yao and Murong Hua were also surprised when they saw Ji Ruxue.
"Xue'er?"
Ji Ruxue walked in and saw Murong Hua's red eyes, as if he was just passing by, with a worried look in his eyes.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Murong Hua's eyes flickered slightly, he stood up and wiped his tears, smiling forcibly: "Father is fine."
Then he could not help but scold, "Xue'er, how could you eavesdrop on your father and mother talking? Why don't you admit your mistake to your mother?"
Ji Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ji Yao's gloomy face beside her, feeling a little afraid.
He bent his legs slightly and bowed: "Mother Queen, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation with Father Queen. I know my crime, please punish me, Mother Queen."
Ji Yao's face didn't look very good, but she didn't say anything.
He just waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, since you heard it, it's time to let you know."
Murong Hua's face turned pale: "Your Majesty~"
