The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 686: Comparable

The Fourth Prince did not like Dong Xiyun’s excessive reaction, but he thought that since the marriage was already decided, he could not object to it. He could not be too harsh on this young lady, or else she would be embarrassed.

He pretended not to see it and endured it.

Not long after, the Emperor arrived.

Everyone immediately knelt and bowed.

“No need to bow, Empress.” The Emperor was indeed more concerned about the Empress. He firmly supported the Empress to get up. “Your health is lacking, why are you bowing like this? I’ve already told you that you don’t have to do this.”

The Empress was a little shy, but she looked dignified, “Your Majesty, Young Lady Xie just gave me a sheepskin painting. It seems… like the world map that was passed down from the Baili family. I’ve already sent someone to invite the teachers of the Royal Academy over. Whether it’s real or not, we’ll find out soon. However… I see that this painting is very special. I like it very much no matter if it’s authentic or not.”

The Empress said this because she was afraid that if this thing was fake, Young Lady Xie would be embarrassed.

“The world map?” The Emperor was interested.

He did not understand these things like the Crown Prince did. Back then, he could not even tell if Zhao Xuzhi’s feng shui painting was good or bad. Now, he naturally did not have the ability to identify this thing.

The Emperor only took a look at the painting and did not have much hope. Instead, he was even more curious about the lady from the Xie family.

He looked at his future daughter-in-law for a while.

He was also a little surprised. “The Crown Prince has good taste. This lady’s appearance is comparable to the Empress when she was young.”

His voice was not loud, and the Empress blushed when she heard it. She said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, don’t say that. Don’t let others hear it. They will laugh at you.”

The others in the hall were far away and did not see this scene.

However, Xie Qiao was close by. She accidentally raised her head and saw the two of them pushing each other’s hands. She thought it was heartwarming.

She silently lowered her head and rubbed her eyes.

Love drama of the middle-aged… it could be quite heart-wrenching.

“Your Majesty, just now, this young lady from the Dong family gave me a gift. It’s a bright moon pearl. It’s really beautiful. Put It in the palace another day. Your Majesty, take a look too.” The Empress did not forget to praise Dong Xiyun.

As expected, the Emperor was quite happy, he said to Dong Xiyun, “You’re not bad. You’re quite filial. I remember that the date of your marriage with the Fourth Prince hasn’t been set yet, right? Then… next May. It’ll be three months later than the Crown Prince’s wedding. It can be considered a series of good things.”

When Dong Xiyun heard that, she was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly knelt to express her gratitude.

They had not set a date before. If they had not set a date, how could it be considered a marriage engagement?

Previously, the Ministry of Rites had drafted a few dates, but the Emperor disagreed!

Dong Xiyun did not expect the Emperor to suddenly become so easy to talk to.

Once the wedding was done, the Fourth Prince would have to leave the palace to build a residence.

The Empress knew that the Fourth Prince was not a stubborn person, so she was willing to speak up for him. She said, “The Fourth Prince has grown up. After the wedding, he should be able to work for the imperial court.”

“Fourth Prince, come to my imperial study room after the banquet to test if you have been studying these days,” the Emperor said again.

If he studied and performed well, he would be given a title and arranged to spend some time in a certain department of the imperial court.

“Your son understands.” The Fourth Prince was obedient and well-behaved.

As a prince, he should be ambitious, but Xie Qiao really did not see that the Fourth Prince was unwilling to accept it.

He had a kind face. He was truly a carefree person.

It was a pity that the outsiders were restless and always fanning the flame for the Fourth Prince. As a result, the entire imperial court, even the entire world knew that the Fourth Prince was the Crown Prince’s sworn enemy.

Now, it seemed that the Crown Prince did not take it seriously.

Otherwise, this person’s fate would probably be similar to three other princes.
