Chapter 465

"Sixth Princess, the auspicious hour is about to arrive. If you don't change your wedding dress, I'm afraid it'll be too late, if you miss the auspicious hour, it would be extremely unlucky.

"

"Unlucky? royal father was heartless, you actually allowed Qingwu to marry that ugly Zhang Wan at the same time, is there anything more ominous than this?

"

Senior Servant Xi didn't dare to make a sound.

When Li Fei, the mother of the Sixth Princess of Huai Yang, walked in and saw her appearance, she could not help but sigh.

"Huai Yang, why don't you get up and change your clothes?

"

"Mother, this son's heart is aggrieved. Didn't that Zhang Wan take the initiative to end the engagement? Why did Imperial Father suddenly change his mind and insist on letting Qingwu marry her?

"

Lifei didn't know how to explain it,

"Huai Yang, Zhang Wan and Su Qingwu were already engaged to begin with, but you suddenly interfered, causing their marriage to be disrupted. Otherwise, they would have already become husband and wife.

"

"Qingwu doesn't like that Zhang Wan at all, and she's such a handsome young man. How could she possibly be worthy of him?

"

"It's already too late to say anything now. Your father's decree has already been passed down. If you don't want to be together with Zhang Wan, then I'll risk my face and beg the emperor to destroy this marriage.

"

"No!

" The six princesses of Huai Yang hurriedly stood up,

"Mother, I want to marry Su Qingwu. I like him, even if there's that stumbling block, Zhang Wan, I want to marry him.

"

She had no way of disobeying her royal father's decree. She could only watch as Zhang Wan sat on equal footing with her, but once they reached the Su Family, it was not certain who would win! She didn't believe that with her identity and methods, she wouldn't be able to take care of a small direct descendant of the academy.

"Since you've already decided, then hurry up and change into your phoenix coronet. Don't delay the time to pay respects.

"

Huai Yang was unwilling, but when he thought of Su Qingwu, he forced himself to keep his spirits up. After changing his clothes and entering the bridal sedan, he was escorted by palace maids and guards all the way to the Su Palace.

On both sides of the street, the commoners were discussing with each other.

"As the daughter of the emperor, shouldn't Princess Huai Yang establish her own Princess Palace? Just like the Grand Princess?

"

"The Eldest Princess has an extraordinary status, naturally no one else can compare to her. Furthermore, this Sixth Princess broke their relationship and forced herself to marry into the Su Family. Didn't you hear about the big ruckus that happened a while ago?

" He had heard of it before, but this Sixth Princess was quite unlucky. She could not marry a dignified princess, but she had to spoil her marriage. I heard that the one who was betrothed to the Su Clan's Eldest Young Master was Miss Zhang from the Scholar's Manor. On the hunting grounds, Miss Zhang had suffered severe injuries in order to protect the Sixth Princess.

With her appearance ruined, how could the princess harden her heart and rob her husband?

"

"Then who can say?

"However, the emperor also seems to be angry with the princess. Not only did he not build the princess' mansion, he even set his wedding date so hastily. Look at this scene, where did it come from?

"

"It's really hard to understand. Forget it, let's just watch the show. I wonder if the Su Clan will be able to make porridge today?

"

"With the Nebula Market taking the lead, many merchants and famous sects now have a happy occasion where they would always treat the commoners with porridge. The commoners would then profit from this, and they would have a favorable impression of Nebula Market.

" He had heard that the Second Madam had prepared silver coins to buy grains of rice and porridge when she was in charge of the house. However, the daughter of the Su Clan that had been married off to the Su Clan had returned. She had used the silver coins that she had used to make porridge to buy a wedding tent.

A pile of glowing flowers, it's really quite amazing.

"

"If you want me to say it, I might as well use that silver to make porridge...

"

Mu Yunyao was leaning against the window as she flipped through the books. When she heard the sound of drums coming from outside, she couldn't help but look out the window.

"It's quite lively today.

"

"Miss, the Sixth Princess had someone deliver a letter ahead of time. She said that she wanted to invite Miss to the Su Palace for a feast. Do you want to go?

"

Mu Yunyao shook her head,

"There's nothing to look at, I won't be joining in on the fun.

"

Six taels of silver appeared at the door, a letter in hand.

"Master, a letter is coming from Jiangnan.

"

Mu Yunyao sat up straight and quickly opened the letter. After she finished reading, her brows tightly knitted together.

"Where did you get this news from?

"

At the beginning, it was two people who had their eyes on a tea together. They accidentally leaked the information about it during the dispute. It took them more than two months of time to get some information from the tea shop.

Mu Yunyao carefully read the contents of the letter again before turning her head to instruct Jin Lan at the side.

"Help me prepare clothes and a carriage. I want to make a trip to the Duke of Yue's Palace.

"

"Yes, miss.

"

Within the Duke Fu Palace, Eunuch Cheng had sighed who knows how many times. His face was creased into a ball and his only remaining eye was dim and lifeless,

"Ai, how can there be such a coincidental thing in this world? The heavens don't even have eyes, can't they pity our prince?

"

Yu Heng sat at the side.

"Eunuch Cheng, you said that the prince and Miss Mu are related by blood. Can't the two of them …

"

Eunuch Cheng turned his head and glared at him,

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't things still uncertain? In addition, there were many cousins who were married. So what if it was an uncle and niece? In all seriousness, their blood relationship isn't that close. It's better for them to be closer.

"

"Even so, your highness and Miss Mu's statuses are different. If the censors don't take advantage of the situation and join in, Prince Jin and the rest will definitely use this opportunity to ruin your reputation …

"

Eunuch Cheng swiftly stood up and turned to walk towards the study.

"Eunuch Wang, Miss Mu has come. Do you want to change your clothes?

"

The pen King Yue was holding stopped for a moment before shaking his head.

"Uncle Cheng, go prepare some tea. Also bring two charcoal pots over, Yun Yao is afraid of the cold.

"

"Yes.

"

Mu Yunyao followed Yu Heng into the study. They walked extremely quickly and her breathing was slightly unstable.

Seeing her like this, King Yue immediately made her sit down,

"Yunyao, what's wrong?

"

Seeing that Yu Heng and the others had already left, Mu Yunyao took out a letter from her sleeve.

"Has Your Highness received any news from the Envy Pavilion?

"

King Yue opened the letter and after reading the contents, his eyebrows tightened,

"Jiangnan Salt Tax...

"The last salt tax incident is not over yet, why are they so unscrupulous now that they have tampered with the salt tax issue?

" People die for money, birds die for food. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the salt merchants in Jiangnan have been cleaned up once every few years. However, the salt tax is obscene, and the sale of private salt is still prohibited.
