Chapter 779: Lack of Fortune

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Master Dong felt uneasy. After some thought, he prepared to bury his daughter as soon as possible so that the criminal division would let it go.

As for Madam Dong and Aunt Dan…

After all, Madam Dong had given birth to two sons for him, so she was important to the family. Even if she had really done such a wrong thing, for the sake of dignity, he could not punish her at this time.

He would ignore her for a while.

Unfortunately, before Master Dong could ignore his wife, the Emperor called him into the palace.

“I heard that Minister Dong’s daughter pa.s.sed away?” In the imperial study, besides the Emperor, there was also the Crown Prince.

Master Dong was already feeling uneasy. He did not know what the Crown Prince had said to the Emperor!

“That’s right…” Master Dong was nervous.

“After I heard about this matter today, I looked for the grand preceptor to perform a divination. The result was… Your daughter and my fourth son are quite compatible. It’s just that she’s not suitable to marry into the royal family. She’s too blessed. That daughter of yours can’t stand it. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, let’s just forget about this marriage.” The Emperor was full of nonsense.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to cancel the marriage contract.

He just wanted to avoid making everyone look bad, so he decided to talk about the matter with good fortune.

When Master Dong heard that, he was dumbfounded. “Your Majesty, what happened to my daughter… was just an accident…”

“Minister Dong, when your daughter came to the palace last time, she slightly misbehaved. However, I thought she was still young, so I didn’t punish her severely. However, I heard that yesterday at your home, your daughter threatened the Princess Consort again, which made the Princess Consort’s heart beat fast and almost lose her life. I did this because of your loyalty, so I protected your dignity,” the Emperor added.

Minister Dong was good at handling matters, but he could not manage his home well.

At this moment, Master Dong felt a chill run down his spine.

Last time, his daughter merely got a little closer to Xie Qiao before she was thrown out by the Crown Prince. There was no so-called threat!

If the Emperor wanted to add to the crime, he would not hesitate to do so!

The Emperor was not happy about this marriage!

“I obey the imperial decree. After I return, I will arrange for my daughter to choose a better spouse.” Master Dong was extremely humble.

He felt resentful in his heart.

The Emperor could see it, so he said, “You have two legitimate sons, right? How old are they?”

“Your Majesty, my eldest son is 13 years old this year, and my second son is nine years old,” Master Mo quickly said.

“Nine years old? His age is average compared to my fifth son. Now it’s time for him to choose a companion to study with. Send him to the palace some other day. If he’s proficient in poetry and books, he can be a companion with the Fifth Prince. What do you think?” The Emperor said again.

How could Master Dong not be willing?!

Although this Fifth Prince’s background could not compare to the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, he was still a prince!

As a companion, they would eat, drink, and read together. Naturally, their relations.h.i.+p would be very close. Even if the Fifth Prince was only conferred the t.i.tle of king in the end, his future as the second son of the first wife would definitely be very bright!

“I accept the imperial edict. Thank you!” Master Dong hurriedly replied.

The feeling of loss just now was instantly filled up.

After coming out of the imperial study room, it was as if his feet were stepping on clouds.

The marriage had been canceled, but the Emperor was willing to let his son be his son’s study companion. That proved that he did not hate him. This was what made him most at ease!

However…

The Crown Prince was too petty.

He actually went to the Emperor to complain about such a small matter!

Master Dong’s mood was very complicated, and his mind was full of wild thoughts. At this moment, Zhao Xuanjing did not have the slightest bit of guilt.

He just looked at the young lady’s self-righteous appearance and did not like her.

“I didn’t issue an edict on this marriage for the Fourth Prince. So be it that it’s been withdrawn. It won’t have much of an impact. However, now that he has rejected this young lady, he has to choose another one..” The Emperor had a headache.
