Chapter 15 Life is a Drama
Xia Yimeng immediately put down the brush in her hand and stood up, and ran out, she wondered if Brother Nan was back, and then asked the emperor for an order, and the pace under her feet continued to speed up with her thoughts.
When she ran to the front hall, General Xia and Mrs. Xia were already standing there, with anxiety on their faces that could not be concealed, and a person dressed as a father-in-law stood next to General Xia and Mrs. Xia, with a smile of joy on his face, this smile made Xia Yimeng more sure of his thoughts, he must have come to convey the good news.
After seeing that everyone was due, the father-in-law cleared his throat and spread out the holy decree in his hand, and everyone knelt down in unison with the opening of the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Xia Yimeng because of his gentle nature, knowledgeable and reasonable, beautiful and light, so he was promised to be married to the king, and the marriage date was set for July divided by ten, Qin this."
The father-in-law's shrill voice pierced the eardrums of everyone present.
There were happy smiles on the faces of the subordinates, Xia Yimeng also had a smile on his face, but it was a stalemate smile, Mrs. Xia and General Xia couldn't tell whether they were happy or sad on their faces, and Xia An looked at Xia Yimeng who was frozen in place with surprise and worry in his eyes.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
Xia Jingyuan's thick voice pulled everyone's thoughts back, and everyone kowtowed to thank her, but Xia Yimeng knelt straight, Xia An reached out and pulled her, she bent down woodenly, and a tear flowed from her eye socket to the ground.
"Why is this so, why is it King Cheng, I don't want to marry him, father, you go and beg the emperor to take back the holy decree."
As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Xia Yimeng knelt on the ground and took Xia Jingyuan's hand, crying and begging.
"Xiaomeng, you get up first, it's cold underground."
Mrs. Xia went to pull her daughter in distress, looking at her daughter like this, she was more uncomfortable than anyone else, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, and she couldn't help anything but appease.
"Your mother is right, be obedient and hurry up."
Xia Jingyuan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but shed tears.
"I won't get up, unless you promise me to go and ask the emperor."
Xia Yi dreamed of death and refused to get up, tears kept staying, since she was a child, she had never been so desperate, her mind was blank, she only knew that Mu Ne begged her father.
"Xiaomeng, resisting the decree is a crime of killing the head, and there is nothing you can do for your father."
Xia Jingyuan shook his head helplessly, he had been obedient to Xia Yimeng since he was a child, but this time he really couldn't help her, and he couldn't lose the entire Xia family for her alone.
Xia Yimeng sat on the ground in despair, sometimes, although some things can be figured out, but I just can't accept it in my heart, everyone understands the big truth, and the small feelings are difficult to control.
Mu Aonan hurried back to Zhaodu, and rushed to meet the emperor as soon as he entered the palace, but because the emperor had already gone to bed one night, he had to go back to the East Palace to rest first, and then ask the emperor for peace tomorrow.
The East Palace is still brightly lit and exudes vitality, and how many princes have done everything they can to stay in the East Palace.
When the palace maids and eunuchs heard that the prince had returned, they were all busy preparing, filling the incense burner with soothing incense, pouring hot water into the huge wooden barrel, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran to the imperial dining room to let the imperial kitchen cook.
"Be nimble, the prince will be back soon."
Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, shouted anxiously.
"The prince is auspicious."
Mu Aonan's figure appeared at the gate of the East Palace, the eunuch who watched the door knelt down to greet Mu Aonan, and along the way, someone knelt down to greet him one after another, and he walked in front of everyone kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face, and walked straight like his own bedroom.
