Chapter 16: You Are the Prince

"The slave greets the prince." Gonggong Li saluted Mu Aonan, who was sitting on the chair, and before taking him away, the prince told him to take good care of the East Palace, and he didn't dare to be a little lazy.

"Get up, what's going on in my absence?"

Mu Aonan's face was full of exhaustion.

Gonggong Li stood up from the ground, respectfully Mu Aonan poured a cup of tea, thinking about what happened in the palace recently, the only important thing seemed to be that King Cheng wanted to marry the princess, but he didn't know how to speak, he watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and even if he couldn't step on all the things in the prince's heart, he couldn't leave ten.

"The palace is very peaceful during this time, nothing major has happened, the only thing worth mentioning is that the emperor issued an order to marry King Cheng today."

Father-in-law Li observed Mu Aonan's expression and said cautiously.

"Oh? My father gave my uncle a marriage, which family's daughter is it? ”

Mu Aonan raised his good-looking eyebrows and asked with interest.

"Yes...... The daughter of General Xia's family. ”

Gonggong Li said tremblingly with his head dropped.

With a bang, the glass cup in Mu Aonan's hand fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces, just like his heart at this time.

"What you say, you say it again."

Mu Aonan stood up from the chair and grabbed Gonggong Li's collar fiercely, his eyes were full of disbelief, he must have been too tired to hear it wrong.

"It's General Xia's daughter Xia Yimeng, the emperor personally decreed the marriage, the wedding date is the tenth day of the seventh month, and the news has spread throughout the palace."

Gonggong Li was sweating with fright, as the saying goes, it is not a joke to accompany the king like a tiger.

"I don't believe it, I'm going to ask my father in person."

Mu Aonan shook his head, not believing what he heard, he wanted to go to his father in person to ask for clarification.

They must be lying to themselves, or the rumors are wrong, and there are too many rumors in the palace to be true.

"Prince, you must not go, if the emperor finds out about your and Miss Xia's concern, the emperor will definitely be furious."

Gonggong Li hugged Mu Aonan's leg tightly, and even if he was killed today, he couldn't let go.

"Don't stop me."

Mu Aonan had already lost his mind a little, and stretched out his hand to give Gonggong Li a palm.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

The shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside the door.

A woman dressed in a four-happiness ruyi moire brocade skirt with a phoenix hairpin, white and tender skin, and a graceful posture, walked steadily towards Mu Aonan with the support of the palace maid.

When Gonggong Li saw the queen coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a savior, and let go of Mu Aonan's legs to salute the queen.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

Mu Aonan knelt down straight and saluted, the queen mother came to the East Palace so late, so she naturally wanted to tell him something about Xia Yimeng.

"All of you go down and guard the door to the palace."

The queen's voice was soft but majestic, making people dare not resist.

After everyone went down, she reached out to help Mu Aonan, who was kneeling on the ground, but Mu Aonan seemed to be unable to pull up the stone that had been pressed by a thousand catties.

"Queen Mother, it's a rumor that you told my father that the emperor gave the little dream to the emperor's uncle, right?"

Mu Aonan raised his head and looked up at the queen, his eyes were full of anticipation, how he hoped that the queen mother would tell him that this was a rumor.

"Nan'er, you are the prince of the world, the woman you choose, don't be sad for a Xia Yi dream."

The queen knew Mu Aonan's heart for Xia Yimeng, but what else could she say after the matter had come to this.
