Chapter 1557 How the Emperor Was Raised (55)
Bailiji ordered the news to be blocked, but the news of this matter was leaked.
Regardless of whether the second young lady of the Xiao family has lost her innocence or not, the emperor's face is definitely not worth mentioning.
Xiao's mother cried for a long time, but Xiao's father stayed up all night. During the morning court, he took the initiative to bring up the matter of letting the prince break off the engagement.
There was no expression on the emperor's face, but everyone knew that the marriage would naturally be called off.
"My son does not agree." A clear voice sounded in the hall.
The ministers looked sideways.
Bailiji looked at the emperor and said, "Father, I only recognize my sister Chu Yi as my princess."
Father Xiao couldn't help but look away. If nothing like this happened, the marriage between Yi'er and His Royal Highness would naturally have happened. But now, it is better for the emperor to propose it than for him, the father, to save Yi'er from suffering.
The emperor was naturally displeased, and said in a calm voice, "We will make a decision on this matter in the future and withdraw from the court."
The coldness in Bailiji's eyes gradually spread, and no one could tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Father Xiao sighed, walked to him and said, "His Royal Highness, it is better not to anger the Emperor. Yi'er... I am afraid that I am not close enough to His Highness. If His Highness, the Prince, insists on having his own way, it will be of no benefit to Yi'er or His Highness. "
Bailiji raised her eyes and looked at him with a deep expression, "I only know her as one person in this life. My destiny is up to me. Naturally, it is not anyone else's turn to interfere with our affairs, even if that person is the emperor."
Father Xiao showed a shocked expression. He just felt that every time he saw His Highness the Crown Prince, it was like meeting him for the first time, and the rumors were far from him.
It wasn't until the person walked far away that he slowly came back to his senses, and then he sighed in his heart, "Everyone in the world knows that the prince is not made to be the emperor, but they don't know that he is not a creature in the pond."
After stepping out of the palace, the second prince looked in the direction of the prince, with a slight smile on his lips. He walked over and called out, "Third prince brother."
Bailiji stopped and said calmly, "I wonder what the Second Emperor Brother wants to see me for?"
The second prince shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have rushed into my father like this just now. Miss Xiao Er is a beauty, but she is not worthy of your doing this. If your father is angry, you will not get any benefits in the end."
He looked like a good royal brother, with a caring look on his face.
Bailiji smiled, but his eyes were full of cruelty and coldness, "Thank you, Second Emperor Brother, for reminding me."
The second prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Father is getting worse and worse now. You should visit him more. He was still talking about you to me that day."
The smile on Bailiji's face did not change, and she did not ask him what he said, "It seems that the second emperor brother has won the favor of the father."
The second prince was secretly proud, but did not show it on his face, "No, you are the one that my father loves the most, otherwise I would not have passed on the title of prince to you."
"Brother Second Emperor, do you really think so?" Bailiji took his hand off his shoulder and smiled, but his actions were not polite at all.
The second prince's face turned slightly gloomy, fleetingly saying, "That's natural."
Bailiji walked past him, her eyes half smiling, "Don't you want to sit on the throne?"
Under the surprised look on the second prince's face, he said calmly, "Then I won't let you get what you want."
"Bai Lili, if you dare to touch my people, then you must be prepared for a life worse than death."
