Chapter 739: Is She a Saintess?

u 。"After glancing back at her, I couldn't help but frown: “Where are your attendants You wouldn’t have snuck out again, would you” "I just thought they woke up too late, so I got up a little earli...Xiao Yu Ge silently watched him, her red lips moved but she didn't speak.

"Old Fifteenth, I am your elder brother, the Emperor. You got married today, and I was the last to know. Is there still a place for me, your elder brother, in your eyes" The Emperor looked at Qian Tingxuan in his wedding attire. This was the first time he had spoken to Qian Tingxuan in such a harsh tone.

"Brother, you have a heavy workload. My marriage is just a small matter, how could I possibly trouble you" Qian Tingxuan's face under the mask was already taut to the extreme. From the moment his brother stepped in, he knew this marriage would ultimately be broken off again, but he was unwilling to accept it.

"Is your marriage a trifle" The Emperor was so angry that smoke almost came out of his nostrils: "You are my Lan Zhao's carefree King, Ge’er is my Lan Zhao's Guardian Country Princess, you two are to marry, it should be announced throughout the land, you actually say it's a small matter You have your mother alive and well, and I, your imperial brother, are here. Without your mother's permission, and without my consent, you dare to secretly marry, and you still dare to say this is a small matter"

"Eldest Brother, Imperial Mother had already said that my younger brother's marriage was her none of her concern. Since Eldest Brother came personally, there is still one bow remaining for the wedding. After my younger brother and Little Ge'er are wed, we will then apologize to Eldest Brother!" Everything went beyond Qian Tingxuan's plan. He couldn't understand where he had missed a step.

"No! Ge'er is a daughter of auspicious qi, and now her status is unknown. Your marriage is hereby annulled!" The Emperor was resolute; a daughter of auspicious qi could only marry his son!

"Big brother, today's matter, I'm afraid you can't call the shots! My marriage, I decide for myself!" Qian Tingxuan's attitude was also firm. He had never confronted the Emperor so openly in public before.

“You!” The Emperor’s face darkened: “Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. With your mother still alive, how could you possibly take charge of your own marriage”

"Today, I shall make this decision!" At that moment, a weak voice came from the entrance, belonging to the Empress Dowager.

"The Empress Dowager is married!"

Everyone was astonished, they looked up, the Empress walked in with the help of her maid!

"See the Empress Dowager!"

"Mother!"

The Emperor and everyone else quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Mother Empress, how did you arrive" The Emperor stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager take her seat.

"As the Empress Dowager, how could I not come to Lao Shiwu's wedding" Although every word she uttered seemed a great effort, her bearing still radiated authority.

"This marriage of the 15th Prince was made without the Empress Dowager's and my consent, so it is naturally invalid." Upon hearing this, the Emperor thought that the Empress Dowager had come to stop it, and a secret joy filled his heart.

To her surprise, the Empress Dowager glared with her phoenix eyes and slammed her fist on the table: "Since I'm here, how can the 15th Prince's marriage be anything but satisfactory"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was the Emperor surprised, but even Qian Tingxuan was taken aback. He thought that the empress dowager had come to stop his marriage to Xiao Ge'er.

"Mother!"

"Grandmother!"

Perhaps at this moment, the most anxious person is not only the Emperor but also Qian Si Chen!

"Before, this Empress didn't agree to the marriage between Fifteenth Brother and Ge'er because Ge'er's background was unclear. How could my Lan Zhao Hall, the esteemed Prince of Freedom, marry a woman with an unknown background Now that Heavenly Zhu, the Regent King, has personally confirmed that Ge'er is his daughter, Ge'er being a county princess, well-matched with Fifteenth Brother, how can this marriage not be permitted"

Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan heard the Empress' words, looked at each other, and each revealed a relieved smile.

"I disagree!"

I don't agree either!

The Emperor and Qian Si Chen practically spoke in unison, voicing their dissent.

"I disagree as well!" Feng Wuji then chimed in, "She is my daughter, Feng Wuji's daughter. She is the most esteemed saint of Tianzhu, how could she possibly marry into the Lan Zhao"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.

"You are the Regent of Tianzhu Kingdom The biological father of Ge'er" Compared to the shock of others, the Empress Dowager was very calm. Aside from looking like a sickly person with little energy, there was an unusual calmness in her cloudy eyes, as if she calmly faced everything that came unexpectedly.

As expected, after decades of navigating the treacherous waters of the Imperial Palace, one's skills and experience cannot be underestimated. Old ginger is always spicy!

"Exactly!" Facing the Empress Dowager, Feng Wuji did not lose his composure.

The Empress Dowager's phoenix eyes twitched slightly: "Since that's the case, then marrying the King of攝政 to my Lan Zhao Xiaoyao King would be a wonderful opportunity to promote friendly relations between our two countries. How could such a marriage not take place"

Feng Wuji's gaze was cold and unyielding as he pursed his lips, still patiently stating, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Ge'er is the daughter of this king and the former Saintess Shui Binglan. There is a rule in Lan Zhao that everyone knows: the successor to the Saintess position must be the previous Saintess's successor. All Saintesses of our country are married to princes from Tianzhu or the most outstanding young men of Tianzhu. It is absolutely impossible for them to marry outside!"

When these words were spoken, even the Empress was stunned. It is well known that the Sacred Maiden of Tianzhu symbolizes the glory of Tianzhu and can only marry into the Tianzhu royal family. This is something everyone knows. If Ger is truly the daughter of Feng Wuji and Shui Binglan, then she would be the next Sacred Maiden. How could she possibly marry Lan Zhao's carefree King Once this marriage takes place, it means that Lan Zhao has ambitions to usurp the throne. With a slight misstep, it could lead to a war between the two countries. This is no small matter!

After a long silence, the Emperor finally interjected: “The Regent King keeps saying that Ge'er is your daughter. What proof do you have” Ge'er is a woman of auspicious fortune; whoever obtains her can increase national prosperity. He would absolutely not allow her to leave Lan Zhao.

"Naturally." Feng Wuji calmly took out a jade pendant from his body, identical to the one Xiao Yuge had worn before: "This is the heirloom passed down by the Holy Maiden of Lan Zhao. It was originally a pair, one in my possession, and the other should be on my daughter!"

Xiao Yu Ge looked at the jade pendant. She wasn't unfamiliar with it, but today she didn't have it with her. To be precise, since she moved to Mingzhu Mansion, she hadn't worn it.

"Ge'er, do you know this jade pendant, right" Seeing Xiao Yu Ge's expression, Feng Wu Ji became even more certain. The girl before him was his daughter whom he had been searching for for over a decade. In that instant, the usually tough man's eyes welled up with moisture.

“Hmm.” Xiao Yuge nodded, the sudden recognition made her go from an orphan with no parents to the daughter of the Regent King of Tianzhu. This was difficult for her to accept, and what she couldn't accept even more was that the Tianzhu Saintess could only marry a Tianzhu prince, which meant she would never be able to marry Qian Tingxuan. If that were the case, then this identity as a Saintess, she didn’t want it.

"My child, take it out." Feng Wuji's slightly trembling hand stretched out before her. It was hard to imagine that such a tough man could also have such a tender moment.

"I, I didn't bring it with me..." Xiao Yuge unconsciously leaned against Qian Tingxuan, avoiding Feng Wuji's hand. She wouldn't say she didn't have it, even if she did, she suddenly didn't want to acknowledge him.ng her from ever leaving him. However, in the end, he couldn't bear to hurt her that way. All he wanted was for her to stay by his side willingly, out of love for him. 。But I... Xiao Yuge wanted to s...
