Chapter 17: All I Want Is You
"You're right, there are so many women in the world, why did the father want to marry Xiaomeng to the emperor's uncle?"
Mu Aonan stood up from the ground and said word by word, since he was a child, he was tired of obeying his father's words, why did he have the final say in everything, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't control other people's lives like this.
"Where is a woman's life can be decided by herself, your father has already married her to King Cheng, then she is a person from Chengwangfu in life, and she is also a ghost in Chengwangfu when she dies, and she will always be your imperial aunt and your elder!"
The queen pointed at Mu Aonan and said righteously, she actually likes Xia Yimeng very much, but the holy decree has been issued, she can't watch Aonan ruin her future for a woman, liking her own imperial aunt is a big rebellion, and this matter can't be known to outsiders.
"Think about it yourself, whenever you are forgotten, you are the crown prince, the future son of heaven."
The queen tidied up her appearance, flicked her sleeves, opened the door of the dormitory, and walked out.
"Come on, drag the little plum down for me, he doesn't take good care of the prince, and reward him with seventy boards."
The queen coldly glanced at Gonggong Li, who was kneeling at the front, and everyone's eyes widened, 70 big boards, even if you don't die, you probably won't be able to stand up in the short term.
"The slave is guilty, thank the queen for not killing."
Gonggong Li trembled and kowtowed three times.
This life has not been his since the day he entered the palace, and no one will come to intercede for him at such a time, even if he has served the prince since he was a child, he is still a subordinate in the eyes of the prince.
Not long after the queen left, it began to rain heavily, and Mu Aonan lay in the bath, his face full of mocking smiles, he mocked his status as the crown prince, and mocked his father's king's landing genius.
The rapid rain crackled against the windows and the roof, and it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Xia Yimeng didn't fall asleep all night, she practiced archery in the rain in the backyard as soon as she got up, she didn't pay attention to anyone who talked to her, as if she was the only one in the world.
"Miss, don't practice, it's raining so hard, you'll get sick if you practice again."
Xiao Zhen held an umbrella for her on the side, but the rain was too strong to hold the umbrella at all, Xia Yimeng's hands were bleeding, she knew that Xia Yimeng was wronged, but even the gods couldn't support it if it went on like this, now it's the fifth day of the first month of June, and the wedding date of the emperor is not far away, and now the whole house is preparing for her wedding.
After Mu Aonan finished the morning court, he went to the imperial study to report the disaster relief situation to the emperor, and the emperor was very satisfied with his performance this time and asked him what reward he wanted.
Mu Aonan looked up at the emperor, and wanted to say that he would let his father take back the holy decree, but after thinking about what the queen mother said to him yesterday, he finally chose to be silent, not because he was afraid, but because he realized that even if he opened his mouth to ask his father, it would be useless.
As soon as he came out of the imperial study, Mu Aonan hurriedly went out of the palace, he wanted to see Xia Yimeng immediately, and then hugged her into his arms, telling her not to be afraid, no matter what happened, he would not abandon her.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are here."
Mrs. Xia had long expected that he would come today, so she waited in the front hall early.
"Master, where is Xiaomeng?"
Mu Aonan's hair was all soaked and clinging to his face, looking a little wolf-like, at this time he couldn't care about his image, he just wanted to see Xia Yimeng soon.
"She practiced archery in the backyard, I think you already know about the emperor's marriage, although we are not willing to accept the reality, but we can't do anything about it, maybe your fate is over, you don't want to do anything for our little dream, she doesn't have this blessing to enjoy, after getting married, she is your imperial aunt, there is a difference between the young and the old, I hope you can understand this truth."
Mrs. Xia knew that Mu Aonan felt uncomfortable, but as an elder, she had to say something, so as not to cause more trouble in the future.
