Chapter 778
Ming Shu even brought out Lord Yi’an . As long as Prince Three had a brain, he would not continue to pester Ming Shu .
He held Qin Si up and whispered something to her . Then, he nodded to Ming Shu and Ji Xun and walked in another direction .
Qin Si stood straight and stomped her feet .
“Father…”
Father Qin waved his hand and suddenly compromised . “It’s over . We are one family . Why are you letting other people laugh at us now?”
Qin Si didn’t understand why Father Qin suddenly changed his attitude . She glared at Ming Shu, unwilling to give up just like that .
She was just a concubine’s daughter…
And she married an idiot .
Once she married Prince Three, she’d see if she still dared to talk back to her .
Once she thought about this, Qin Si got happier .
Father Qin pulled Qin Si away while Ming Shu brought Ji Xun into the main hall .
“Why did you push her?” After she sat down, Ming Shu questioned Ji Xun .
The latter looked at her with a puzzled face . “Is… is wrong? She, bully, wife . ”
Ming Shu said, “You can just hit her . After all, you are an idiot . ”
Ji Xun: “…” I lost .

Prince Six and Prince Nine both didn’t come . Everyone could understand why Prince Six didn’t come .
However, if Prince Nine didn’t come, it was a little interesting . Did that mean that he didn’t want to even maintain a surface relationship with Prince Three?
The emperor didn’t look very well, either . He kept coughing as he spoke . Priest Yongyan was beside the emperor too . When he saw Ming Shu, his eyes lit up .
… What does this weird priest want to do now?
“This banquet is to welcome Prince Three… cough, cough, cough… everyone can just be casual . ” The emperor finished this sentence and waved his hand tiredly .
Prince Three sat right at the front . He cupped his hands . “Thank you, Your Majesty . Is your body still well?”
“No worries . It is just a cold . ” The emperor signaled him to sit down .
Prince Three hesitated and sat down slowly .
Music started playing .
Conversations started too .
The emperor sat at the top and looked at the officials and princes below . No one knew what he was thinking .
“Prince Three,” the emperor suddenly said, “you are not young anymore . You should have someone taking care of you now . Is there any lady that you like?”
There were no more conversations in the hall . Only the music could be heard .
It’s here, it’s here…
This was the highlight of today .
Everyone’s gaze landed on Prince Three .
“Father, I do not want to consider this now . ” Prince Three got up and rejected the emperor .
“This is not only about you… cough, cough, cough…” The emperor coughed furiously . He only managed to stop after a while . “I think that Mister Jia’s daughter and Mister Gu’s daughter are both not bad . What do you think?”
The emperor must bestow an imperial concubine to Prince Three today . The people that he mentioned were not the officials that supported him .
Prince Three’s heart got heavier .
The ladies below seemed really excited .
Prince Three was handsome and even if he was not the emperor in the future, they would be able to enjoy an unlimited amount of wealth and status .
For that face, they were willing to marry him .
Especially Qin Si .
She had an advantage . Her father supported Prince Three so there was a higher probability that Prince Three would choose her .
“I…” Prince Three opened his mouth . He scanned the officials at the scene . “I heard that Mister Deng’s daughter is gentle and virtuous . I will choose her . ”
It was not any of the ones that the emperor mentioned and it was not the Qin family either…
Qin Si felt as though she was struck by lightning . Her proud expression still lingered on her face .
Didn’t Father say that Prince Three would definitely choose her?
Why…
Why was it not her?
Everyone was stunned . Mister Deng was even more stunned .
He was not on the side of Prince Three and neither was he under Prince Nine!!
“Prince Three, my daughter is still young…” Mister Deng stood up, shaking . “I am afraid that she will not be able to bear your kindness . ”
His daughter would only reach the age of fifteen in another half a year’s time!!
Prince Three looked at the emperor .
He had made his choice but the other party rejected him . This was not his fault .
The emperor coughed . “She is not that young anymore . I remember that she will turn 15 years old in half a year’s time, right? Since Prince Three likes her, it is settled . We will find a good date and they will be engaged first . ”
The emperor waved his hand, signaling that this matter was decided and the topic ended here .
Prince Three glanced at Father Qin and then sat down silently .
Mister Deng wanted to cry when he faced the bunch of people congratulating him . Your Majesty, you are digging a hole for me!
People started to walk around at the banquet .
The emperor sat at the top and didn’t move at all . If he didn’t cough occasionally, people might forget that he was there .
“Xun-er . ” The emperor suddenly called and waved amiably at Ji Xun . “Come . ”
Ji Xun: “…”
What is this weird uncle trying to do!? I am not going!
Ji Xun grabbed Ming Shu and shook his head . He didn’t want to go up .
He was stupid anyway so he could do what he wanted .
The emperor was not angry . He coughed two times . “Xun-er, don’t be afraid, come . ”
Ming Shu, who was concentrating on eating her pastries, was forced to look up . She smiled . “Your Majesty, my husband is afraid . Can I accompany him?”
The emperor couldn’t help but laugh . “This child . I am not going to eat him . Come up . Add a small table for them . ”
Ji Xun slowly went up and sat at the small table .
“Why are you not happy? Who made you unhappy?” the emperor asked him . “Tell me . Let me take revenge for you . ”
Ji Xun wanted to shake his head but he heard the person beside him saying, “Just now when His Highness was coming in, he met Miss Qing . Miss Qing scolded His Highness . His Highness might be unhappy because of this . ”
Ming Shu looked back . The person who spoke was one of the emperor’s men .
The emperor is trying to use Ji Xun to make an issue .
“Priest Yongyan, His Majesty does not a cold, right?” Ming Shu suddenly said . The emperor’s face was just turning dark but when he heard what Ming Shu said, he forced his expression back .
“Princess Consort, you can see it?” Priest Yongyan was elated .
Ming Shu smiled . “I can tell you but I hope that Your Majesty will not use the prince to cause any issues anymore . This thing has nothing to do with Yi’an Mansion . ”
Ji Xun looked at Ming Shu and smiled with closed lips . Then, he remembered that he could smile however he wanted and started smiling even wider .
The emperor was shocked . He didn’t even manage to say anything yet…
But what does she mean?
The emperor looked at Priest Yongyan . Priest Yongyan was not interested in the conspiracies of the imperial family . He leaned forward and said something to the emperor .
“Really?”
Priest Yongyan nodded .
The emperor covered his mouth and coughed . “Xun-er… Princess Consort, come with me . ”
The emperor led them to the side hall at the back . Ji Xun was ordered by Ming Shu to stand outside . She didn’t let him in .
The emperor was a little surprised that Ji Xun listened to her so well .
Since there were no officials around, the emperor looked even more tired . However, he still sized up Ming Shu with a questioning gaze .
Priest Yongyan explained at the side, “His Majesty’s body started getting worse without any warning . The imperial physicians were unable to diagnose everything and that was why I was invited . Priest Yongyan, did you see any problem?”
“If I tell you, you must promise me one thing . ”
The emperor sighed . “I will not harm Xun-er . ”
“You will not even use him to do anything . ”
