Chapter 127 What kind of magic does this woman have?
Song Yi's legs softened and he knelt down. "Your Majesty, I dare not teach you how to do anything. I am truly loyal, as the sun and the moon bear witness to. I am truly worried that Miss Si has a bold and uninhibited personality. If she were to marry into Prince Yong's mansion in the future, she would continue to follow her own will and show off in public. This would be inappropriate, so I ask Your Majesty to cancel our engagement."
The emperor had a gloomy face and exuded a cold air all over his body. The imperial concubine sitting below the emperor could feel it.
She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor. The emperor's preference for Si Yan was really strange...
She asked the emperor to take Si Yan as his concubine, but the emperor still disagreed. It was really weird.
All the court officials knew that the emperor was angry, and for a moment, the atmosphere at the entire palace banquet was depressing.
Just when the Minister of Rites was unable to stand alone under the murderous gaze of the emperor, another court official stood up at Xin Rui's signal.
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Bian Sui spoke loudly, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior is arrogant. She previously openly clashed with Young Master Zhen, being unyielding even when she was right. She has also frequently been seen in public, frequenting places like Yayue Pavilion. She is truly unsuitable to be Prince Yong's fiancée. Your Majesty, if the engagement between Prince Yong and Si Yan is not dissolved, the Daxuan Imperial Family will become a laughing stock throughout the world."
The emperor stared at the prefect of Jingzhao with disappointment. Whenever there was something going on in the capital, he never stood up to speak.
At this time, he jumped faster than anyone else towards Si Yan, a woman, as if someone was whipping him from behind.
The emperor looked up at Si Yan and saw that she was eating calmly and drinking wine from time to time. She looked so comfortable!
This girl...
The situation is urgent, why aren't you anxious at all?
The emperor withdrew his gaze and glared at the Jingzhao prefect. "You look like a joke to me. When did Daxuan prohibit women from leaving the house? What's wrong with going to Yayue Pavilion for a meal? You just listen to what people outside say. Do you have any brains?"
The emperor already knew that this group of people had only one purpose, which was to make him cancel the engagement between Prince Yong and Si Yan.
They had no idea that Si Zhengxuan didn't even want his daughter to marry into the royal family.
He had worked so hard to arrange this marriage, and these people were trying so hard to ruin it?
Bian Sui had not expected the emperor to defend Si Yan so much, and was speechless for a moment: "This... Your Majesty..."
"Alright, stop stammering and shut up!"
The emperor took a tough stance and wanted to suppress the matter by force.
Xin Rui really didn't expect that His Majesty would not pursue the matter of Si Yan and Prince Yan, but instead said that Song Yi and Bian Sui were brainless.
When he said "Shut up, everyone", he meant that no one should mention it anymore.
Xin Rui was very confused. Si Yan had only entered the palace and had a private chat with His Majesty once or twice. How could he have drugged His Majesty?
Xin Rui's expression darkened. They had to achieve their goal today no matter what.
Just when the emperor thought the matter was over, his sister Princess Anyun stepped forward.
Princess Anyun completely ignored the emperor's expression and spoke arrogantly, "Royal brother, you probably don't know what the outside world has said about Si Yan and Prince Yan. They say that Si Yan and Prince Yan have already secretly agreed to be together for life, under the moonlight. As the daughter of Situ, Si Yan has such a bad reputation, how can she be worthy of Prince Yong?"
Just as the emperor was about to speak, another high-ranking official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we believe that Si Yan is unworthy of Prince Yong."
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior has a bad reputation and is a disgrace to our Great Xuan. She is unworthy of being the Prince of Yong's fiancée."
"..."
More and more court officials stood up, saying that Si Yan was not worthy of Prince Yong, and asked the emperor to cancel the engagement between Si Yan and Prince Yong.
Even Bi Liu, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Minister of Justice is not a faithful wife and is entangled with the Prince of Yan. Your Majesty should cancel their engagement."
"Your Majesty, please cancel the engagement between Si Yan and Prince Yong, and punish Situ for failing to educate his daughter properly."
"Your Majesty, please cancel the engagement between Si Yan and Prince Yong."
"Your Majesty, please release Si Yanhe..."
"Your Majesty, please..."
The entire hall was filled with the enthusiastic and passionate voices of the court officials, and the emperor felt dizzy.
This group of people don't listen to reason at all, they only rely on their numbers to force him!
At the originally festive palace banquet, two-thirds of the court officials knelt down, and some court officials who were in a daze also knelt down.
The emperor swept the hall with a cold gaze. Apart from the special envoys from the two countries, only Si Zhengxuan and Prince An were still sitting there.
The emperor recalled that during previous court meetings, the court officials had done the same thing, forcing him step by step, leaving him with no choice.
The emperor once again deeply felt that although he was the supreme ruler, the real power was not in his own hands.
As an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants.
Si Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, because she knew that this was not a war between the Imperial Noble Concubine and the Prime Minister's party and her, but in fact, it was a war between them and the Emperor.
The emperor is biased towards Prince Xin in his heart. If he is not allowed to personally experience the threat posed by the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's party, it will be difficult for him to fully wake up.
The emperor sneered, his expression calmed down, and he looked at Xin Rui: "Prime Minister Xin, what do you think?"
As always, Xin Rui, who had cleared himself of all charges, spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, I believe the rumors are not groundless. The relationship between the Minister's daughter and the Prince of Yan is well known to both of them."
The emperor's gaze finally fell on Si Yan: "Si Yan, what do you think? What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I agree to cancel my engagement with Prince Yong." Si Yan said lightly.
The emperor couldn't help but close his eyes, remembering that the girl once told him that for the sake of the overall situation, he needed to temporarily stabilize the imperial concubine and the prime minister's party to prevent them from doing anything extreme.
This girl only said this for the sake of the overall situation. It's really unfair to her.
At this moment, Prince Yong stood up from his seat and said, "Father, I have something to say."
"You say." The emperor looked at Prince Yong who stepped forward, and suddenly felt that this son was the most courageous.
He was able to gallop across the battlefield and fight bloody battles to defend Daxuan, and he was also brave enough to stand up to protect the woman he loved.
Unlike Prince Xin, when faced with problems, he would hide behind his uncle like an ostrich.
Prince Yong stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He bowed solemnly to his father and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Please, father, cancel the engagement between this son and Miss Si."
emperor:……
Others may not know, but he knows very well that his son likes Si Yan very much.
Before the emperor could speak, Prince Yong continued, "It's not because Miss Si is not worthy of me, but because I am not worthy of Miss Si."
The emperor opened his lips, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak...
He knew that Prince Yong would definitely protect Si Yan, but he didn't expect him to protect Si Yan to this extent.
Prince Yong's voice resounded throughout the hall: "My fellow ministers may not know that Miss Si not only saved Prince Yan's life, but also saved my life even more. It can be said that without Miss Si, there would be no Qi Ziyu.
"My father wants to cancel the engagement between me and Miss Si. I have no objection, but I must make it clear that it is not that Miss Si is not worthy of me, Qi Ziyu, but that I, Qi Ziyu, am not worthy of Miss Si."
After Prince Yong finished speaking, there was an uproar at the palace banquet. Even Di Hao couldn't help but look at Si Yan who was silent.
What kind of magic does this woman have that can make the two most powerful war gods in the world so devoted to her?
