Chapter 29

The Crown Prince raised his eyes and looked at Tang Kexin. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he was teasing Tang Kexin with a smile that was not a smile.

He had known the Empress to be headstrong in keeping her words. That whenever she made a decision, even if she had to argue with the Emperor, it couldn't be refuted. But now, this Tang Kexin had just said some few words, and the Empress had actually changed her mind... and was even immediate! 'When did Tang Kexin have the ability?'

"Grandmaster Huai Yuan has produced a great disciple." The Crown Prince's eyes flashed, and he looked at Tang Kexin with an inquisitive gaze.

"It's rare to see Miss Tang being so enthusiastic." It was obvious that the Crown Prince wanted to see Tang Kexin make a reaction.

"Gentlemen, you can't go teasing girls. They needed to be taken good care of, instead." Without waiting for Tang Kexin to speak, the Empress had already answered.

"That's for a normal girl, but her…" Ye Lanchen directly protested. Was he supposed to protect her when she was so good at threatening him in the carriage? What a joke, it's already good enough that she didn't scare him to death.

"The Emperor has arrived!" At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ye Lanchen's words.

"What day is it today, for everyone to be gathered together like this?" Following that, the Emperor walked into the hall. When he saw the few people present, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then a trace of a smile appeared on his face. No matter how high and mighty he was, deep in his heart, he yearned for the most ordinary form of kinship.

"Chenqie pays her respects to the Emperor." The Empress stepped forward and curtsied.

"This son greets royal father." The princes bowed and greeted unanimously as well.

"This humble girl pays her respects to the Emperor." Tang Kexin also lowered her head in greeting, appearing to be well-behaved.

"I heard from the Prime Minister that this little girl has recovered from her illness. Looks like she's pretty good now, this form of courtesy is quite decent." The Emperor was obviously in a good mood. He looked at Tang Kexin with a good-natured smile.

"Since Xin'er has recovered, she can naturally learn everything. She is no worse than anyone else." The Empress' face was full of smiles.

"Mm, that's great! That's right, I remember that this girl was born on the same day as Chen'er and is almost eighteen now. At that age, she should have been married a long time ago." The Emperor thought for a moment before speaking again, "Now that she has recovered, I think it's time for her to marry Mu Shaoyi—"

The Empress' eyes seemed to flashed for a few times, but it was too fast for anyone to notice.

"Imperial Father, she doesn't like Mu Shaoyi anymore." Ye Lanchen's mouth was really quick, as he directly interrupted the Emperor's words.

"You don't like him anymore? What do you mean?" The Emperor slightly frowned as he looked at Tang Kexin with doubts.

"Chenqie was also thinking about it just now. In the past, Xin'er had always liked Mu Shaoyi, but Mu Shaoyi had never liked Xin'er and wasn't even enthusiastic in wanting to marry her. So, why not cancel this marriage?" The Empress had not thought that Chen'er would bring up this matter, but since Chen'er did, it was a good idea to see what the Emperor had in mind.

"Cancel? It was the Empress who ordered this marriage. Did Chenqie forget? " The Emperor's expression slightly darkened.

"Yes, it was indeed Chenqie who arranged this marriage, but then Mu Shaoyi didn't want to marry Xin`er at all. He has dragged the wedding for this long, and now Xin`er is almost eighteen. It was as if Xin'er was not deserving of his attention and care. How can a girl be under this great humiliation for a very long time?" The Empress was clearly worried and anxious, her emotions stirred up.

Seeing the Empress' reaction, Tang Kexin felt a moment of absent-mindedness. The Empress truly took her matters to heart, treating her like her own daughter.
