Chapter 3637: 4.1237 No!
"Postponing the wedding date is indeed the most prudent course of action." The Imperial Advisor nodded, his expression calm.
Seeing Qiao Mu suddenly turn and glare at him, the Imperial Advisor, with surprising good nature, smiled back at her.
That gentle, wise demeanor of his brought forth a strange feeling in Qiao Mu's heart once again.
From their first meeting until now, she had barely seen this Imperial Advisor a few times.
But each time they met, this Imperial Advisor, despite speaking in a seemingly gentle tone about Lord Qiao Qiao's affairs, consistently pushed things in a negative direction.
For instance, this time, on what grounds was he trying to postpone Qiao Qiao and Lian's wedding just by saying so?
"No." Qiao Mu unceremoniously interrupted the adults, stating coldly, "No postponement."
The agreed-upon wedding date, the auspicious sixth day of the sixth month, couldn't just be postponed. Qiao Qiao wouldn't allow it.
The Great Emperor's mouth twitched instinctively as he glanced at his resolute daughter-in-law.
"Ahem, Crown Princess, the people I sent to Guiping Village report that they currently have no news of the Crown Prince."
"So what?" Qiao Mu looked at the Great Emperor with an expressionless face.
"The Crown Prince will be fine; he will definitely return on time," Qiao Mu declared emphatically. "The wedding date cannot be postponed. It will proceed as scheduled on the sixth day of the sixth month."
The Imperial Advisor turned to look at her, sighing. "If the Crown Prince cannot return on time on the sixth day of the sixth month, the wedding ceremony will become a laughingstock."
Qiao Mu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, a fierce glint appearing. "I said he will return, so why are you spouting nonsense? Aren't you tired of being so long-winded?"
Everyone: ...
Prince Yong'an looked at the little Crown Princess, then at the Great Emperor and the Imperial Advisor's expressions, and suddenly felt much calmer.
The little Crown Princess dared to directly confront even the Imperial Advisor, let alone his son, Mo Xu.
With the Imperial Advisor taking the brunt, what was his son Mo Xu's problem?
Thinking this, an inexplicable sense of calm settled in his heart.
The Imperial Advisor sighed, like a radiant elder addressing his unruly junior, and said faintly, "It's not that this Imperial Advisor wishes to prevent your marriage; it's just that... if the Crown Prince does not return on the day of the wedding, the entire ceremony will become a joke in the eyes of the Divine State's people."
"Crown Princess, the Imperial Advisor is also considering your welfare," Chen Zhaozhi said with a smile, unable to resist interjecting.
Qiao Mu's eyes met his with a cold glare. "No! Change! Date!"
"Crown P..."
"Are you incapable of understanding human speech??" Qiao Mu cut off Chen Zhaozhi, who was about to speak again, with a sharp cry. "When did my affairs become yours to butt in and comment on? Annoying!"
"The wedding will proceed as scheduled." Her gaze swept coldly over everyone present. "Don't make any small moves or cause any trouble. The consequences of disappointing Qiao Qiao's Lian are something none of you can bear!"
The young girl's small face was flushed with anger. After speaking, she turned and walked out of the Imperial Study, not uttering another word to anyone.
A bunch of liars, you agreed to the sixth day of the sixth month, and now you want to secretly stir up trouble and mess with Lord Qiao Qiao? Go to hell, all of you.
Everyone couldn't help but exchange glances, then collectively turned to look at the Great Emperor seated at the center of the study.
The Great Emperor raised a hand to rub his aching forehead, then said helplessly, "Since the Crown Princess sees no problem, then let it be as scheduled."
Chen Zhaozhi opened his mouth, then closed it again, somewhat indignantly.
