Chapter 952: Chapter 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!"

Old Madame Liu gave him a look and said, "Stop your crow’s mouth talk. Lifting the ban is a happy event. If it hadn’t been lifted, that sh*t basin of framing the prince would still be hung over your head. Now you are talking again. Later, we’ll have the servants sprinkle some salt outside the door to ward off bad luck, lest your crow’s mouth comes true!"

Duke Li Guo grunted, muttering, "This old woman is getting more formidable. I only spoke a word, and you rambled on so much, really!"

As he was mumbling, a clear laughter suddenly came from outside the window.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, are you quarreling again? What is it? Let your grandson mediate for you!" Nangong Yi said as he walked in.

Upon seeing Nangong Yi, Duke Li Guo and his wife couldn’t help feeling relieved. Thanks to this capable grandson, their daughter still had the chance to continue as the mother of the nation in Great Jin, their family had been able to turn danger into safety, and their Duke Li Guo’s Mansion’s legacy could continue to thrive.

"Yi, this lad, you came quietly again without even letting anyone announce you, you’re becoming more impertinent!" Despite Duke Li Guo’s complaints, his face was full of affection and approval.

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "Grandson has come back from Lingbei specially to visit the two elders and to congratulate you as well."

Old Madame laughed and said, "An expected affair, it doesn’t count as anything happy!"

Nangong Yi said earnestly, "Grandson isn’t talking about the mansion’s ban being lifted, but rather about your grandson getting married. Would that count as a joyous occasion?"

Upon hearing this, both the old duke and the old lady perked up, looking at their beaming grandson, and asked, "What are you playing at this time, lad? Could it be that you are getting married?"

Nangong Yi said, "Exactly. The Imperial Father and Imperial Mother have both consented. Grandson would like Grandmother and great aunt to ask for the girl’s hand on grandson’s behalf, and also to exchange the engagement letters and set the wedding date." Saying this, he took out the letter Empress Mo had written to Old Madame Liu and handed it over with both hands.
