What they were most afraid of was being in a position of power in the East. Even though the Emperor didn't like him and didn't favor him, his position had always been there, unshakable.

"It is already late, please return, ministers. Do not let our families worry about you."

It was obvious that the emperor needed to be dealt with privately, how could the various officials not see that? Indeed, with the relationship between the Wan Ning manor and the royal family, this was a family matter.

"We will take our leave."

When the ministers left, there were only a few left.

"Your majesty, please uphold justice for this old subject's daughter!"

Ning Xiaoyao didn't want the emperor to flee, so she made him look her straight in the eye once more.

The emperor walked down and walked around Dongfang Jingming, who was kneeling on the ground, before he said to Ning Xueqi, "Both of them are still young. Xueqi is fourteen this year, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ning Daoyuan said.

"There's only a year left before I'm too old." The Emperor clasped his hands behind his back, his back facing the crowd. "Marquis Wanning, what do you think I should do with this matter?"

"The two children aren't sensible, we elders should think for them. Since the plan has already been completed, we might as well ask the emperor to grant the two children a marriage. This way, it will block the mouth of the people and protect the face of the two families."

"That's true, now that she's married to the crown prince and now that Xue Qi's married to Seventh Brother, it can be considered as them marrying each other."

Throughout the entire process, they didn't seem to ask if the person involved was willing or not, nor did they ask if there was any hidden evil intent in this matter.

Rong Jiu wanted to say something, but he grabbed her sleeve and secretly shook his head at her.

"Ming'er, are you satisfied with my arrangements?"

"I will listen to royal father's orders."

The emperor asked Ning Xueqi again, "What about you?"

"Qi'er, listen to father and the emperor's arrangements."

The matter seemed to have gone smoothly from start to finish without any ripples, as if it had never been intended to set off any waves.

Coming out of the palace, Rong Jiu questioned Dongfang Zisu why he didn't help him name himself. There were clearly many flaws, as long as they were exposed, then his name would not have to be married to Ning Xueqi.

"How can you understand that no matter what's going on, they will end up the same. In order to save face, Seventh Brother still has to marry her."

"What about the truth!"

"Truth is often not that important."

Was face really that important in the Nine Words Nodding?

In the past, Ning Daoyuan didn't want his daughter because of face. But now, because of face, the Emperor didn't even want to give him the truth?

Ridiculous, pathetic, the world was repugnant to her.

Perhaps because he felt the rise and fall of Rong Jiu, Dongfang Qisu lightly patted her back. "You can get used to it."

How ironic it was to get used to it now.

Ning Ruoxue and the others were also surprised at the smooth development of this matter, but in the end, it went according to their wishes.

It was fine to let Ning Xueqi marry Dongfang Jingyue, but at a critical moment like this, they could also create obstacles for him. Originally, they had wanted to blow up the matter and affect Dongfang Zisu and Rong Jiu's wedding. Now that they saw it, they had to think of another way.

Ning Ruoxue and Imperial Concubine Ning organized everything in the Fragrance Pavilion. Right now, the only thing that could affect the wedding ceremony was probably something that could make the Emperor care about the solemn face of the Emperor.

Imperial Concubine Ning had already been with the emperor for so long, so she could understand his every move today.

If this matter were to blow up, it would definitely affect Dongfang Qisu's wedding. He liked to destroy his family, and wanted to quickly make them have a family. Naturally, he would not let his wedding be affected.

Therefore, he would rather just settle this matter like this.

"Xinyan, do you have any ideas?"

Ning Ruoxue always had a lot of ways to deal with things, and Imperial Concubine Ning also deeply comprehended, which was why she trusted her so much.

"Mufei, how about we do this, this way .."

Ning Ruoxue whispered the plan to Imperial Concubine Ning, whose eyes lit up. "Good, not bad at all."

As long as this method was successful, there was no need to worry about them getting married.

After seeing the entire process with his own eyes, Rong Jiu couldn't eat anything and couldn't fall asleep. He found a random place to drink, but who knew he would run into someone from the East.

He picked up the jug and drank the wine, while Rong Jiu sat beside him. He asked the waiter to bring a few more jugs of wine, "Drink it up. Drink it up. I'll accompany you."

Dongfang Qisu looked at her, and the sadness in his eyes could not be hidden, "Why do you think? Why isn't Third Brother helping me? "

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I help or not." Rong Jiu sighed, "You saw it last night, she really broke her body, and the one lying beside her is you. No matter what the truth is, or if you have been tricked, the best result is that you marry her."

"But I don't have any feelings for her. I don't even have any feelings for her, I .."

"It's fine if she doesn't have any feelings. She won't be hurt in the future, but it's just a marriage, and even if you marry her, it doesn't mean you have to love her. You can also use her as a decoration and make her seem like nothing."

"Is that okay?" Dongfang Xi was also young. Although he had come into contact with women before, he didn't have much experience in that area.

Rong Jiu took him to be his younger brother. "Yes, you can still love someone else after you marry her."

Only when he had no feelings for Ning Xueqi would he be able to avoid hurting more people in the future. His name would not be injured, and so would Dong Fang.

Huaxuan

Dongfang Qi tossed and turned, thinking for a long time, but he still wanted to make it clear to Rong Jiu that since she already had a man, he wouldn't stop her.

He could refuse to marry her, but their play would continue.

He understood that there was a little bit of selfishness in this as well. He wanted to see Rong Jiu from time to time, and also wanted to see who she was.

It was still dark outside and the pavilion was not open yet. Dong Fang Su flew from Huan Yan Xuan to the inner courtyard behind the pavilion. The inner courtyard was the resting place for all the guests, so they could also go there from the inner courtyard.

He took a deep breath, making up his mind. Before his hand could land on the ground, he was suddenly called by someone from the courtyard, "It's not good to knock at someone else's door in the middle of the night. He's a prince, after all."

Dongfang Qisu clenched his fists and hid them in his sleeves.

"What about Rong Jiu?"

"Xiao Jiu? Sleep? Yes, is something the matter? You can tell me. "

Sleep? You can talk to him? Dongfang Qisu's mind was filled with the memories of the intimate relationship between Rong Jiu and Soo Soo. He clenched his teeth.

He landed on the ground with a gust of cold air. "Tell her that Ben won't let the wedding go on."

Hearing that, Flight felt joy in his heart. He had already asked about Madam Jade's origins, so he did not blame Dongfang Zizai. "That's good. I'll tell her."

He stood outside the pavilion and took a long look. Just as he was about to leave, a small head popped out of one of the windows, "Father, are you looking for me?"
