Chapter 30

As an Empress, she had trained in the palace for so many years, and under Buddhism, she had been an observer of the Six Paths. Thus, prior to giving her opinion of things, she always make it a point to listen to everyone's pleas and grievances. Being the Empress, she couldn't show too much of an emotion.

But at this moment, the Empress' tone towards the Emperor was a bit extreme which rarely happened. It could be seen that the Empress was so agitated that she started a fight with the Emperor in front of many people.

It was said that the Empress' relationship with the Emperor was neither hot nor cold. So whenever they talk about some matters, the Empress would simply say an opinion but would never voice out major point of views. But this issue was about Tang Kexin, and matters related to Tang Kexin, she really took them to heart.

Moreover, the Empress and the Prime Minister's wife were siblings, so they had a good relationship, and being without a daughter of her own, she had always treated Tang Kexin as her own daughter.

"This engagement of your own doing had been decided long time ago and had already known by the public. How can we just cancel it like that?" A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on the Emperor's face. It was clear that the Emperor and Empress had different starting points and held different opinions.

"Chenqie knows that the Emperor is afraid of affecting the reputation of the Imperial family. But Chenqie will handle this matter well and won't cause any problem." The Empress naturally knew that this wasn't without consequences, so she couldn't rush it. She had to think of a foolproof plan to get rid of all possible consequences or at least lessen it.

However, for now, she had to let the Emperor know her stand towards this matter. She could forget and ignore about everything else, but she wouldn't when it concerned Tang Kexin.

"Is that so? And what is the Empress planning to do?" The Emperor's face clearly darkened, and his voice was even deeper. He didn't expect the Empress to be so unyielding on this matter.

"Now that Xin`er has recovered and had declared that she doesn't like Mu Shaoyi anymore, and it happened that Mu Shaoyi had never wanted to marry Xin`er, cancelling the engagement is but right. I've thought it through just now with the understanding that matters of the heart cannot be forced. Besides, I heard Mu Shaoyi to have someone in his heart. He can marry her if he likes and not delay them. Then Xin'er, too, can also find a more suitable husband." The Empress didn't state what she was planning to do, but only emphasized the need to find a suitable candidate for Tang Kexin.

Tang Kexin was slightly startled. She felt that the justification about the Empress' cancellation of her engagement with Mu Shaoyi was quite reasonable. But why along the way she heard her talking about finding a more suitable husband?

Of course, Tang Kexin could tell that the Emperor was already angry. The Empress had angered the emperor because of her?

"Canceling this marriage, in her current situation, do you think it's good for her?" The Emperor smirked. Although his words were more reserved, the meaning was very clear. The Empress was a smart person, so she naturally understood what the emperor meant and immediately became displeased.

"Xin'er is gentle and virtuous, spirited and charming, beautiful and generous, slim and graceful. If we withdraw the engagement from the Mu Family, we will definitely find someone better for Xin'er." Hearing the Empress' words, Tang Kexin almost bit her tongue. Wasn't Tang Kexin a fool in the past? In this way, the Empress was more likely praising a flower. But then, there was a saying, 'Love is blind.' If the Empress hadn't really cared and doted Tang Kexin, she definitely wouldn't be able to say those things.

"Cough!" The Emperor obviously didn't agree with the empress's words, but it wouldn't be good to be too blatant in front of Tang Kexin.

He let out an awkward cough, and suddenly thought of something, turning to Tang Kexin and asking, "Girl, what do you think?" Tang Kexin didn't expect the Emperor to suddenly ask her about it. But since the Emperor had already asked, she definitely couldn't refuse to answer. If they continued to argue like this, she would not be without a fault.

How should she answer that, in order to quell this dispute? It was quite difficult to prevent the Emperor from becoming angry and at the same time, to make the real her hidden from these people.

"Just like the Empress said, Xin'er also believe that this one is gentle and virtuous, spirited and charming, beautiful and generous, slim and graceful. And just like a flower blossoming, people adored her. However, if one doesn't find her interesting, then it has nothing to do with her." Tang Kexin looked at the Emperor and batted her eyelids. She calmly and naturally repeated the words the Empress had just said. Only, she added two additional sentences which silenced the world.
