The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 818

Chapter 818: Chapter 724, Rumors and Gossip

Every household had received the news, and the Emperor had naturally heard about the incident at Princess Huijia’s birthday banquet.

Eunuch An vividly recounted to the Emperor how Daohua had confronted the two ladies of the Jiang Family.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor shook his head and chuckled, "This girl and Yeyang really match, they both refuse to suffer losses!"

Eunuch An carefully scanned the Emperor’s expression, seeing no displeasure, he cheerfully said, "How can one not say that the Little Prince and the Countess of Shengping aren’t fated for each other?"

The Emperor smiled, recalling his nephew’s difficulties from childhood, and sighed, "They are indeed quite fated." Pausing, his gaze intensified, "What is everyone saying about Yeyang and the Yan girl now?"

Eunuch An gauged the Emperor’s mood attentively and cautiously replied, "Most say that the Countess of Shengping seduced the Little Prince, behaving... indiscreetly, among other things."

The Emperor snorted disdainfully, throwing a document onto the imperial desk, and said coldly, "That’s truly the Jiang Family’s usual style, when things don’t go their way, they simply destroy them."

The Emperor wasn’t displeased with Daohua confronting the Jiang Family; on the contrary, if Daohua had backed down in front of the Jiang Family, the Emperor would have been angry and disappointed.

Eunuch An dared not engage further and continued standing with his head bowed, focusing intently.

The Emperor then thought of his uncle residing in the Four Seasons Manor, considering how upset the old man would be if he knew his disciple’s reputation had been tarnished by the Jiang Family; after a moment of silence, he said, "Summon Prince Ping to the palace."

Originally, he had planned to grant the marriage to the two children after the audience with Xiliao was over and things had quieted down, but now with the Jiang Family boldly making a public spectacle, he might as well facilitate it.

Eunuch An quickly withdrew, instructing someone to summon Prince Ping from outside the palace.

The Emperor drafted the imperial edict for the marriage but saw Eunuch An return with a worried expression, "What’s wrong?"

Eunuch An: "Reporting to the Emperor, the Prince is not at the Prince Residence, saying that the flowers used for making rouge have bloomed at his estate, and the Prince is busy refining rouge paste."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao was startled and hastily stepped forward to calm his anxious mother, "Mother, don’t panic, the marriage matters of the Imperial Family involve many aspects, and it’s not something Old Master Gu can decide alone; even if you go to him, it likely won’t be of any use."

Old Madam Yan frowned, "Then what should we do? Are we to do nothing and let others recklessly slander my granddaughter?"

Yan Zhigao was silent for a moment, then said, "We should ask what Yeyang thinks about this matter first."

Old Madam Yan: "Then what are we waiting for, call him quickly."

Yan Zhigao: "Yeyang has gone out on an errand these past few days; once he returns, I will immediately send someone to call him here."

Old Madam Yan sighed, "What kind of situation is this, who did my dear granddaughter offend?"

Yan Zhigao and Madam Li exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat helpless.

Beijing is just a chessboard centered around interests; from the moment they entered Beijing, they became chess pieces on the board. Here, a tangle of various interests ensues, and even without doing anything, one could still be drawn into others’ conflicts.
