"Your Majesty, I..."

Old maid? Wu Meifeng was unwilling to do so. Those old maids who had been in the palace for many years were all smart and capable. Wouldn't it be troublesome to let them teach her?

And with these outsiders around, it was inconvenient for her to do anything.

She was about to open her mouth to reject the suggestion, but a warning look from Emperor Beiling made her close her mouth again.

He didn't like women going against his wishes, especially when this woman had embarrassed him in public.

Seeing Wu Meifeng's indignant look after being humiliated, Jiang Xue sneered in her heart.

Are you upset about just this little thing? Wu Meifeng, this is far from enough! She has not yet completely recovered from this woman for killing Jiang Chongyi's family and forcing Xiao Yun to almost collapse.

The tea party continued after this episode.

Jiang Xue, Lu Linyi and others were chatting animatedly, while Wu Meifeng quickly adjusted her state and used all her skills to make Emperor Beiling extremely happy again.

"Your Majesty, Qinwen really envies Miss Lu. She is not only young and beautiful, but also well-educated. She is truly a beauty with both talent and beauty. However, Miss Lu seems to be getting older. Is such an outstanding girl married?"

As they were talking, Wu Meifeng suddenly mentioned Lu Linyi's marriage, which made Jiang Xue frown.

What the hell is this woman up to?

"Princess Qinwen, Linyi is still in mourning and cannot consider marriage within three years."

Lu Linyi's heart also tightened. It must be something bad that this woman suddenly mentioned his marriage. He immediately stood up and tried to shut Wu Meifeng up by using the excuse of mourning.

But Wu Meifeng smiled helplessly when she heard this: "We can't hold weddings during the mourning period, but how can this wedding be delayed? The emperor can grant the marriage first, set this marriage, and then hold the wedding after Miss Lu's mourning period is over."

After Wu Meifeng said this, Emperor Beiling suddenly understood.

Yes! Why didn't he think of it before! If he arranges the marriage first, he can tie Lu Linyi firmly. In this way, the Marquis of Zhenbei can also be firmly controlled in his hands.

What's more, he recently discovered that since returning from the hunting trip, Nan Jingxing and Lu Linyi seemed to be getting closer and closer.

This was not what he wanted to see. He had supported the Nan family to replace the Lu family. If the two families were to marry, it would be difficult for him to deal with Lu Changfeng.

We have to marry Lu Linyi off quickly to avoid any more trouble.

Thinking of this, Emperor Beiling immediately said: "Qinwen is right, Linyi is not young anymore, this marriage can't be delayed any longer."

"Your Majesty, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. My father is not in Yujing now, so I'm afraid this marriage..."

Lu Linyi was so frightened that he became very nervous and tried to refuse by saying that his father was not around.

During the hunting period, she took care of the injured Nan Jingxing without leaving his side, and finally moved him. The two promised to spend their lives together, and he also promised to marry her, and she kept waiting.

This time Emperor Beiling suddenly did this, and Lu Linyi would never agree to it even if he was beaten to death.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Send someone to the border to inform the Marquis of Zhenbei." The Emperor of Beiling was determined this time. He ignored Lu Linyi's refusal and turned to the Queen and said, "Queen, tell me which good young men are suitable in Yujing City. Call them over and let Linyi take a look."

"In reply to Your Majesty, there are two suitable candidates in Yujing City. One is Wang Ruixuan, the head of the Wang family from Concubine De's family; the other is our Prince Huan." The Queen responded.

Wang Ruixuan? This guy is still alive. He is really lucky.

When Jiang Xue heard the name, that disgusting face immediately appeared in her mind.

This was a man who had once insulted a princess of a country, causing his father to lose his job and be investigated, yet the queen still brought him forward.

I heard that when Wang Ruixuan was caught raping the princess, Mo Yan threw him directly to the inner court and castrated him. Since then, he has not left the house for a year and has been staying at home.

Ever since Wang Changqing was dismissed from his post, the Wang family has had a hard time.

When Jiang Xue passed by Wang's house, she took a special look. The place was so deserted that even the servants had almost all left.

Wang Ruixuan has been hiding in there for more than a year. Even if he didn't die, he would be no different from a useless person.

"Wang Ruixuan is a bad boy with bad behavior and a cripple. He is not worthy of the throne at all." When mentioning this person, the disdain on the face of Emperor Beiling could not be hidden. If it were not for Concubine De crying and begging for mercy, saying that she must leave a child for the Wang family, Wang Ruixuan would have been cut into pieces long ago.

"Then, only His Royal Highness Prince Huan is left." Wu Meifeng sneered at the pale-faced Lu Linyi. Humph, she had not forgotten the last time this little girl made fun of her.

It was her fault that she provoked her, so it was no wonder that Wu Meifeng was so ruthless.

If I can't deal with Jiang Xue, I can at least teach Lu Linyi a lesson.

If you want to blame someone, blame her for wearing the same pants as Jiang Xue.

"Miss Lu, just be content. Although Xiao Huan's methods are a bit cruel, he is still a prince after all. If you marry him, you can become the legitimate wife of the prince's mansion. You have picked up a great bargain."

"Although Heng'er has a strange temper, he is still sensible. He is handsome and has a good status. Well, not bad, not bad."

Although Xiao Huan was not a good person, he was still his own child, of authentic Beiling royal blood. From an outside perspective, marrying Lu Linyi to Xiao Huan did not mean that the Lu family was being treated unfairly.

In this way, Lu Linyi was tied to the royal family and firmly in Xiao Yan's hands. With this relationship, was he still afraid of not being able to control Lu Changfeng?

"Someone, come here! Draft an imperial decree to marry Lu Linyi, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, to His Royal Highness Prince Huan. Once the mourning period is over, the marriage will take place immediately!"

In order to avoid any further complications, Emperor Beiling immediately issued an edict.

"I..." Lu Linyi's face turned pale, and he was about to refuse, but Jiang Xue grabbed his wrist.

"Changle and cousin thank the Lord for his grace." Jiang Xue pulled Lu Linyi to salute and express her gratitude.

In order to prevent Lu Linyi from refusing in public and angering the emperor, Jiang Xue thanked him on her behalf and accepted the emperor's order to express her gratitude.

In front of everyone, Emperor Beiling was determined to grant the marriage, and no one could stop him.

If you refuse in public, it would be considered disobeying the order, a serious crime punishable by death.

Emperor Beiling originally intended to contain and eliminate his uncle, who was a thorn in his side, and they could not hand him a knife at this time.

It was just an arranged marriage, and they still had a period of mourning to buffer their anger. During this time, she would find a way to help Lu Linyi get rid of the engagement with Xiao Huan.

"Congratulations, Miss Lu! His Royal Highness Prince Huan is one of the princes the Emperor relies on the most. It is Miss Lu's great fortune to be able to marry His Royal Highness Prince Huan."

Wu Meifeng looked at Lu Linyi with a gloating look on his face as he tightly grasped the corner of his clothes and tried hard to suppress his grief and anger, and she felt particularly relieved.
