Chapter 952 - 954: The Marriage Proposal Arrives (2)
Upon hearing his son mention Mu Caiwei, Emperor Jin Ming felt a wave of guilt. He pondered for a long while before speaking softly, "Yi’er, choose another girl. Any girl from the Great Jin, whoever you fancy, I will certainly grant you her hand, but this Mu Caiwei... Ah, it’s also my fault, she has already... passed away..."
"She didn’t die; after being taken away by a tiger, she was rescued by someone. Later, she ended up in Lingbei and has been there with her son!"
"Really, hehe, that’s wonderful. Initially, your Imperial Father felt guilty about this matter concerning you; now, he no longer needs to feel ashamed!"
Emperor Jin Ming’s face lit up with laughter. Upon hearing The Emperor’s words, Nangong Yi knew this matter was settled and couldn’t help expressing his joy, "Son thanks Imperial Father for his blessing!"
Emperor Jin Ming said, "You boy, clearly wanting to marry a daughter-in-law, yet you keep using the excuse of bringing joy to your old father, next time, it won’t be so easy!"
The Emperor and Empress had agreed to their marriage, and Nangong Yi was overjoyed. It seemed there could be no greater joy in life for him than this.
Upon leaving the Emperor, he didn’t even have his dinner but went straight to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion.
By then, it was pitch-black. Chai Feng initially wanted to remind him to come tomorrow morning, but seeing his master so full of excitement, he knew it was futile to persuade him and gave up.
The bustling Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, which had been lifted from a ban since the morning, had finally quieted down. The court ministers who came to congratulate, visit, or ingratiate themselves had finally left. Duke Li Guo, exhausted, complained incessantly as he rubbed his back, "Ah, had I known lifting the ban would be so exhausting, I would have told Yi this child to delay it a bit!"
