When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

Drums and gongs were blaring, and firecrackers were ringing.

The long wedding procession passed through Qinglong Street in the East City, passed through Zhuque Street in the South City, and planned to return to the Imperial City from West Street so as to circle the city.

There were countless onlookers, and the cheers were endless.

It seemed that the entire imperial city was witnessing this grand wedding ceremony.

However, just after noon, a sound of horse hooves galloped in the distance, as if a sound that was out of place was integrated into the noise.

"The emperor has ordered that the Ninth Prince's wedding be suspended!"

As the voice fell, the noise in the sky stopped as if it was strangled by the throat.

The onlookers on both sides of the street turned their heads at the same time.

Ye Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, galloped over on horseback, holding a talisman in his hand: "The Emperor's order! The Ninth Prince's wedding is suspended!" M.

The wedding procession gradually slowed down until it stopped.

Mu Cang tightened his hands on the reins, sitting on the horse's back as steady as a rock, his back straight and his face as calm as water.

His noble and cold eyebrows and eyes were shining like ice.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Yan Li frowned unconsciously, suspending the wedding?

What did the emperor mean by this?

He was the one who granted the marriage, and it had been smooth sailing for the past few days, but on the day of the wedding, he suddenly ordered the suspension of the marriage?

The surroundings were as quiet as snow, and the people watching the excitement looked surprised and puzzled.

The Ninth Prince's wedding was so grand, why did it suddenly stop?

This...

Since ancient times, such a thing has never happened.

Is there another war at the border?

Mu Cang looked coldly and expressionlessly at Ye Qi in front of him: "What happened in the palace?"

King Jing, who was following Mu Cang, frowned and held the reins in silence.

What is the emperor trying to say?

"Replying to the Ninth Prince, the Queen of Jin and the princes and envoys have arrived." Ye Qi answered truthfully and respectfully, "The Queen of Jin said that Princess Nanyang is her daughter, and the princess's marriage must be decided by her mother."

What?

The princes behind Mu Cang looked at each other, obviously not expecting this, "Queen of Jin?" Daughter?

"This... what is going on?"

Isn't Yan Li's mother Jiang Yi, the daughter of Master Jiang?

She died fourteen years ago, how come another mother suddenly appeared?

"Princess Nanyang is the daughter of the Queen of Jin?" King Jing stroked his chin, thinking, "Isn't she the cousin of the Jiang family?"

"She is indeed the cousin of the Jiang family." The other princes nodded one after another, and one of them added, "Now the Emperor has conferred the title of Princess Nanyang."

King Jing turned his head and looked at his uncle, and couldn't help muttering, "So what's going on?"

How could Princess Nanyang be the daughter of the Queen of Jin?

Amidst the whispers and discussions, Mu Cang looked cold and his voice was firm: "The wedding will go on as usual-"

"The wedding will go on as usual." A voice as cold as snow came from the luxurious sedan chair, "I am Princess Nanyang, this marriage was granted by the Emperor, and there is absolutely no reason to cancel it halfway."

The tough tone revealed an unchangeable determination.

Everyone was shocked.

Is Princess Nanyang openly violating the Emperor's will?

Mu Cang turned his head to look at the sedan chair, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the cold and indifferent color in his eyes melted away little by little.

Yan Li sat in the sedan chair, but seemed to be able to feel his gaze, and smiled calmly in return.

Mu Cang turned his head and said, "The wedding will proceed as usual, and we will continue on."

Ye Qi seemed to be not surprised by this, turned his horse's head, and rode away with a few imperial guards.

In fact, the emperor's oral order was delivered to him, and it was up to the Ninth Prince to listen or not.

However...

After leaving the wedding procession, Ye Qi sat on the horse and thought about it, and suddenly turned in a direction, riding his horse towards the prosperous city.

Seeing this, several men behind him couldn't help but say, "Commander-in-chief, shouldn't we return to the palace as soon as possible to report?"

We should take the young master's road.

Today, because of the Ninth Prince's wedding, all the streets in the main city have been cleared. At least, they can speed up and return to the palace in advance to report the order.

After all, the Queen of Jin will be unhappy if the Ninth Prince disobeys the order, right?

If they want to stop the wedding, they must arrive at the Ninth Prince's Mansion before dusk... maybe they can still make it in time.

The commander-in-chief can choose to go to the downtown area.

Horses are not allowed in the downtown area, so they have to slow down and may be delayed for a long time.

Ye Qi scolded: "Just follow me, what nonsense!"

Don't know what a roundabout tactic is?

The emperor obviously didn't want to cancel the Ninth Prince's wedding, but he was forced to give an oral order.

As a minister, the most important thing is not to obey the order all the time, but to understand the emperor's thoughts-of course, it is definitely not okay to disobey the order blatantly.

Unless the Ninth Prince has the ability and power, and is as favored as Princess Nanyang, and is guaranteed not to be punished for disobeying the order.

This thought just flashed through my mind, and the subordinates behind me asked: "Commander, it seems that the Ninth Prince did not follow the order."

Ye Qi sat on the horse, holding the reins and walking slowly, "Yeah."

"Will the emperor punish me..."

"I think so." Ye Qi could only say this, after all, disobeying the order is a serious crime, "but the one who disobeyed the order is Princess Nanyang. If she is really the daughter of the Queen of Jin, the emperor should not punish her."

As for the Ninth Prince...

Then there is nothing to worry about. After all, marrying Princess Nanyang smoothly is obviously more important to the Ninth Prince than disobeying the imperial order.

Ye Qi rode his horse leisurely in the downtown area. When he returned to the palace, the sun was setting.

Arriving outside the palace gate, he turned over and dismounted. The group walked quickly into the palace and arrived at the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Qi knelt on one knee and replied respectfully, "I am guilty of failing to stop the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang's wedding!"

"What?"

"How could it be?"

Two voices sounded in the hall at the same time. The first voice with a little anger was Jiang Yi, and his face showed displeasure: "Mu Cang dared to disobey the imperial order?"

The second voice with a little surprise was Emperor Zhaocheng, who seemed to be surprised that the Ninth Prince actually disobeyed the imperial order, but he didn't seem to be very unhappy.

"Replying to the Queen of Jin, the one who resisted was Princess Nanyang." Ye Qi lowered his head and said truthfully, "In front of many dignitaries and nobles, Princess Nanyang said in person, 'The marriage was granted by the emperor, and there is absolutely no reason to cancel it.'"

"So what?" Jiang Yi frowned, "The emperor has given an order, and the Ninth Prince must obey it."

Ye Qi said: "Because the Ninth Prince was worried about delaying the auspicious time, and heard Princess Nanyang's words, he ordered the wedding to continue."
