Emperor Qing snorted coldly, slightly displeased, and said:
"Since you know that I have granted Fan Xian's request to annul the engagement, how dare you come here to request a marriage decree for Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng?"
"No matter what, Lin Wan'er is a princess, and she represents the dignity of our royal family."
"Isn't it a bit unreasonable that Fan Xian broke off the engagement, and then I bestowed a marriage between Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng?"
Fan Jian frowned, somewhat bewildered by what Emperor Qing had said.
I don't quite understand. Fan Xian's annulment of the engagement seems to have nothing to do with the arranged marriage between Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng.
After remaining silent for a while, Fan Jian took a deep breath, feeling somewhat bitter and helpless.
He originally thought that by stepping forward, he could get Emperor Qing to grant Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng a marriage decree.
But judging from Emperor Qing's expression, he seemed unwilling.
"Who told Chen Qingfeng to be his son?"
"If it weren't for this relationship, why would we need to come and ask him to grant us a marriage?"
Fan Jian muttered to himself.
He knew in his heart that whether it was Chen Qingfeng or Fan Xian, Emperor Qing would definitely make the decision regarding their marriage.
After all, blood ties are a factor.
If it weren't for this, Chen Qingfeng and Fan Ruoruo would not have fallen in love with each other, and he wouldn't have come to ask Emperor Qing for permission. The marriage arranged by their parents and the matchmaker would have been enough.
After a moment's thought, Fan Jian regained his composure and bowed deeply to Emperor Qing:
"My lord, resign!"
After saying that, Fan Jian turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Just then, in QQ group 85, Qingdi2104 suddenly shouted to stop them. 278
Fan Jian was taken aback, then turned to look at Emperor Qing, puzzled, and asked, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"
Emperor Qing smiled slightly and said:
"Fan Jian."
"After some thought, I think it's not impossible to bestow a marriage between Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng."
"However, this marriage was not bestowed upon Fan Ruoruo alone."
After hearing Emperor Qing's words, Fan Jian looked completely bewildered, utterly confused by the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand."
"What do you mean by 'not just bestowing a marriage upon Ruoruo alone'?"
Fan Jian stared at Emperor Qing, completely bewildered.
Emperor Qing didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"I may bestow a marriage upon Fan Ruoruo, but I also wish to bestow a marriage upon Lin Wan'er..."
"Let them all marry Chen Qingfeng."
"As for their relationship, both of them are Chen Qingfeng's legal wives, and they are both equals!"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Fan Jian was immediately stunned.
She had originally come to request a marriage decree for Fan Ruoruo and Chen Qingfeng, but who knew that Emperor Qing would also bestow Lin Wan'er upon Chen Qingfeng.
Such a thing has never happened before, in ancient or modern times.
Just as Fan Jian was stunned, Emperor Qing glanced at him and said:
"how?"
"Fan Jian, do you have any objections?"
"You don't feel that your daughter is being treated unfairly, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jian quickly recovered and pursed his lips, saying:
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"But doesn't this matter depend on Ruoruo, the princess, and Qingfeng's opinion?"
Emperor Qing waved his sleeve and said with overwhelming force:
"Then call them all over."
While saying this, Emperor Qing was also somewhat expectant, thinking that he could take this opportunity to meet Chen Qingfeng.
……
Meanwhile, at the Royal Villa.
Chen Qingfeng had just finished taking Lin Wan'er's pulse.
"Princess, your illness has been completely cured. You no longer need to come for pulse diagnosis."
Chen Qingfeng released Lin Wan'er's wrist and said with a smile.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er instinctively gasped in surprise.
Her surprise left Chen Qingfeng completely bewildered.
Logically speaking, Lin Wan'er should be happy to hear that her illness has been completely cured.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er also realized that her exclamation just now was a bit strange.
That's why she did that.
It was because she thought that once she recovered from her illness, she would probably see Chen Qingfeng less often in the future.
Through this period of contact, she had developed feelings of love for Chen Qingfeng.
Unfortunately, I am bound by a marriage contract bestowed by His Majesty, and I cannot disobey the imperial decree!
"My Lady, are you okay?"
Chen Qingfeng inquired.
"I...I'm fine!"
Lin Wan'er responded softly, then quickly stood up and turned away, not daring to look at Chen Qingfeng.
The thought that she loved Chen Qingfeng, but was ordered to marry Fan Xian, a man she had never met, filled her with sorrow.
Seeing Lin Wan'er's attitude, Chen Qingfeng was completely confused.
Just then, a maid rushed in to report:
"The princess!"
"News has come from the palace that Fan Xian went to court today and took the initiative to dissolve his engagement with the princess."
"His Majesty has granted permission!"
Hearing the maid's words, Lin Wan'er was overjoyed and said excitedly:
"really?"
The maid nodded and replied:
"I believe His Majesty's decree will be issued soon!"
Lin Wan'er was so happy that she felt a little flustered, and then looked at Chen Qingfeng:
"Young Master Chen, my engagement with Fan Xian is dissolved!"
After saying this, Lin Wan'er blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and muttered to himself:
"I never expected that my younger brother would actually break off the engagement."
"In that case, I shall accept the 0.4 without being impolite."
At first, Chen Qingfeng hesitated, wondering whether he should intercept Fan Xian and win over Lin Wan'er.
Now that he heard that Fan Xian had broken off the engagement and that Emperor Qing had granted his request, Chen Qingfeng immediately felt relieved.
Besides that, he also noticed it.
Lin Wan'er must have already secretly fallen for him, and Chen Qingfeng could pursue her at any time if he wanted to.
"Congratulations, Princess!"
"From now on, you can go and pursue the person you like."
Chen Qingfeng smiled and glanced at Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Qingfeng, her lips moving as if she had something to say.
But for some reason, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Just then, the palace eunuchs arrived and announced that Lin Wan'er and Chen Qingfeng were to enter the palace for an audience immediately.
Lin Wan'er was naturally delighted to hear this.
I figured that Emperor Qing must be summoning me now to discuss annulment of the engagement.
"Great!"
"Finally, I don't have to marry a stranger."
"Is there a chance...?"
Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er subconsciously glanced at Chen Qingfeng, her eyes filled with affection.
"Ok?"
After hearing the imperial decree, Chen Qingfeng frowned slightly.
It makes sense that Lin Wan'er was summoned to the palace to meet the emperor; they must have been discussing the annulment of the engagement.
But why did Emperor Qing also want to see him?
