The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Chapter 64: The Tough Guy Who Throws a Tantrum and Complains

The Duke of England, who was waiting to meet His Majesty, had no idea what was happening at his doorstep.

He only wanted to see the emperor and report the old guy Guangchang Hou.

He raised a son and ended up with such a good-for-nothing, and now he wants his precious daughter to marry him?

Idiot's dream!

Although the Duke of England thought so in his heart, he still waited obediently in the side hall, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

The Duke of England didn't have to wait long before he heard some noise inside.

He looked up and saw a man wearing a red hat and a dark brown eunuch robe with cloud patterns coming.

Duke Ying asked the visitor anxiously, "Eunuch Hai, would His Majesty be able to see me?"

The person who came was Hai Xian, the most trusted eunuch chief of Emperor Rong'an, who was also of the second rank.

Upon hearing this, Hai Xian smiled in an extremely amiable manner: "Please come in, Duke of England. The Emperor invites you in."

The Duke of Ying immediately bowed to Haixian and walked into the Wenhe Hall with big strides, shouting as he walked, "Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision."

Haixian's expression froze. The Duke of England's behavior today was really surprising, but where else did he seem to have seen such a familiar scene?

Where did it come from?

Emperor Rong'an had just finished dealing with the memorials reporting safety at the border when he heard his beloved ministers coming into the palace crying.

"Ai Qing..."

"His Majesty!"

The Duke of England, who was so big, knelt down in the middle of the hall with a plop.

Hai Xian paused as he walked towards Emperor Rong'an. He couldn't help but turn back and look at the Duke of Yingguo in surprise.

He had actually been in the imperial court for many years and had not shown such a surprised expression for a long time.

The Duke of England...what kind of injustice has he really suffered?

Hai Xian returned to stand beside Emperor Rong An with doubt in his heart.

Emperor Rong An was also puzzled. He frowned and looked at Duke Yingguo: "My dear, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Get up first."

Duke Ying looked up at Emperor Rong'an with a stubborn expression: "If I can't stand up, I will kneel down and speak."

Emperor Rong An nodded and agreed.

He is actually a somewhat casual person. Since the British bull can't speak, then just kneel down and speak. It's no big deal for such a big one to kneel down.

Seeing this, the Duke of England started to cry and complain, "Your Majesty! I didn't know the right person back then and arranged a marriage for my daughter. Now my daughter hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, and that bastard is having a secret meeting at the Nanfeng Pavilion. It's simply disgusting!"

"It's fine if he had a secret meeting, but the person he had a secret meeting with was my niece who my concubine brought to live with me! What does he mean by that? He is slapping me in the face!"

"It doesn't matter that I am old! But I am your Majesty's subject. If this subject loses face, it will also bring shame to your Majesty. He simply has no respect for your Majesty! He is extremely arrogant!"

"And his father! Duan Jian, that bastard, raised a son who likes men. He didn't come to me earlier to cancel the engagement, and he even dared to bring people to my doorstep to threaten me!"

"Your Majesty, I have suffered so much! My daughter lost her mother when she was less than four years old. I worked so hard to raise her. If you want her to marry such a thing, I would rather die!"

As the Duke of England spoke, he began to feel really aggrieved. He looked around with his big head, found a pillar that looked very solid, and was ready to ram it!

Hai Xian was greatly shocked. He raised his whisk and shouted in a shrill voice: "Quick! Stop the Duke!"

Another seven or eight imperial guards came up and hugged the Duke of England, pulling his hands, holding his feet, and holding his waist. The scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.

Emperor Rong An looked at it with both laughter and tears.

The Duke of England had time to take a look at Emperor Rong'an's expression. Seeing that Emperor Rong'an was looking at him with a smile, he was pinned down by the seven or eight imperial guards.

Emperor Rong An looked at Duke Ying with amusement, "My dear, are you here to perform a play to relieve my fatigue?"

The Duke of England got up and scratched his head in embarrassment, then knelt down obediently.

"Every word the old minister said is true."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Rong'an snorted and laughed, "If you dare to call yourself an old minister again, I will order someone to pluck out all your beard today."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is merciful, I won't say anything more, but my grievances are known to everyone!"

The British duke howled with his mouth open. He didn't seem to be feeling very aggrieved, but his voice was really loud.

Emperor Rong An rubbed his forehead and said, "Stop shouting. I have also heard about what you said."

The Duke of Ying suddenly changed his expression and kowtowed to Emperor Rong'an. "It's all my fault. I didn't know people well enough to end up like this. I beg Your Majesty to speak with you and save me!"

The Duke of England had not originally thought of bringing the matter to the attention of the Emperor.

It was Master Jiang who reminded him that it would be better to get the matter before the Emperor.

As long as His Majesty agrees, we don’t have to worry about the Guangchang Marquis’ Mansion making trouble no matter what happens in the future.

After all, the emperor had approved the matter, and the Duke of England was the victim, so there was no possibility for the Guangchang Marquisate to cause trouble.

Mr. Jiang had no expectations of Marquis Guangchang's character.

To be precise, Mr. Jiang did not have any expectations about the character of anyone in the Guangchang Marquis' Mansion.

What's more, in such a matter where the benefits are so obvious, Mr. Jiang doesn't want to take the chance at all.

As long as he has the ability, he will nip the danger in the bud, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance.

A minor illness today may not be fatal tomorrow.

Meeting the emperor is the best solution.

Furthermore, the Duke of England would seek the emperor's decision whenever he encountered any problem. If he also received the emperor's promise, it would also make people see that the Duke of England was still reliable in the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor will not list her as a minister to be guarded against just because of her marriage to King Xuan.

Emperor Rong'an was more concerned about the affairs of his confidants, and this matter had already been reported to the emperor at the banquet at Prince Fu's mansion.

The person who reported this was none other than Princess Boyang.

The eldest princess’s explanation was that she had helped the little girl without any disease to get married, but she had an unsuccessful marriage, so if anything happened, please ask Your Majesty for help.

Emperor Rong An naturally knew that Lu Qingxiao had become increasingly thinner after returning triumphantly from the battle.

Later, when Lu Qingxiao got better, he asked about it again. Unexpectedly, the little girl turned out to be the Duke of England's youngest daughter.

When the eldest princess brought up the old matter again, Emperor Rong'an investigated the matter thoroughly.

The grievances that the British public spoke of were indeed real grievances.

"When the marriage was promised, was there any proof?" asked Emperor Rong An.

The Duke of England took out a box from his sleeve and said with some disdain, "This is it."

Emperor Rong'an gave a look, and Haixian bent down and took the box up.

The box was handed to Emperor Rong An, who opened it and found it was an exquisite longevity lock with Duan Hongyu's birth date on it.

"Alright. Haixian, go and summon Marquis Guangchang to the palace. I will take this case."

Emperor Rong An closed the box and looked at Duke Ying: "Get up. Don't your knees hurt after kneeling for so long?"

The Duke of England stood up with a chuckle, dusted himself off, and said frankly, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to make the decision for my daughter, I will not refuse even if I die."

Emperor Rong An smiled and said calmly, "Then I will also arrange a marriage for your little daughter. What do you think?"

The Duke of England was stunned. What? Another arranged marriage?

The second brother didn’t say this would happen!
