Thanks to Anon K. for the chapter (2/2) ๐๐
Feng Yege finished speaking and the entire imperial study fell into dead silence.
The emperor finally realised what he said and slammed the table, โNonsense! How could one country have two Countesses of Rende?โ
Feng Yege heard this and looked down again, his pursed thin lips making him look slightly desolate, as if he was hiding because he knew his request was too outlandish.
Feng Yege was the type of handsome that was a bit cold and high class, which made the empress dowager worry over him even more, especially when his face was as pale as it was now.
She wiped away at some tears forming near her eyes.
She thought, this child must have been possessed by that Lou familyโs daughterโs demon.
He must be thinking that even if heโs not able to marry the person, at least he can marry someone with the same title.
Was it just because he was too attached to her?
But as long as heโd be able to marry someone else, and break off ties with that woman, the empress dowager would support him no matter what.
Her face instantly darkened as she looked at the angry emperor, โIs the emperor unsatisfied?โ
โNo, what is empress-mother saying?โ
โThen would the emperor like to say why he wonโt allow for two Countess of Rendes? Itโs just a title, only people are alive! And itโs not like heโs asking to marry Lou Qingwu? Furthermore, Xiliang countryโs previous empress even married two people, so why are you so fussy?โ
The emperorโs face was a bit unnatural after being scolded by the empress.
That stuff was just gossip, how could his empress-mother spread stuff like that?
โItโs just not reasonable โฆโ
โIf I say it is, it is! Iโm telling you to do it, so what is the emperor going to do?โ
The emperor looked at the empress dowager and then to Feng Yege.
He rubbed his aching forehead, who exactly was her actual son, him or the Night Prince?
Honestly.
But Dongyu was a country that valued piety so if he rejected the empress-dowager today, he was afraid that it would spread that his morals werenโt upright.
Thinking it through that it was just a title, so there was no need to be so hung up over it โฆ
He looked back at the empress dowager and Feng Yege, gritting his teeth before agreeing, โAfter thinking it through, I also agree. If the Night Prince thinks that itโs a good idea, then โฆ we can seal her as a Countess of Rende. Liu Jin, bring me an imperial decree! Iโll write it now!โ
โThatโs right!โ The empress-dowager was thrilled.
Feng Yegeโs eyes flashed, โThank you empress-dowager and emperor for helping me.โ
โThis child, ah, you're finally willing to marry a consort. โThe empress-dowager held his his hand in hers and felt that even her bones ached for him.
After what happened with the empress-dowager, when the emperor finished writing his imperial decree, his whole mind was a mess.
He didnโt even remember what Feng Yege said the Yuebai clanโs princessโ name was called.
When he looked up to see the empress-dowager rand Feng Yege watching him, he didnโt feel it was appropriate to ask so he silently lowered his head, deciding to just write, โYuebai clan princessโ.
That way, he wouldnโt get it wrong.
Lan Bai returned in two hours, back to the Leaning Wind Pavilion.
At this time, it was already quite late so she didnโt look too well.
Lou Qingwu looked at her before putting down her book.
โWhat happened? Did you find out where Little Bell went?โ
โNo, Thousand Face hasnโt come back.โ
โWhy did you look so tired? What happened?โ Lou Qingwu didn'tโ think this would implicate Feng Yege so when Lan Bai quietly said something,she froze.
โWho did you say Little Bell went to find?โ ย

So tired, I took a nap and say โ8.20โ and actually thought it was 8.20am and I was late for work.
