The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 190 Like an Old Mother

"We just found out that the person he's going to be engaged to is Sister Lan. Does that mean you've known about the Emperor's uncle's marriage a long time ago?"

Xing Yiyi choked and was suddenly speechless.

Chu Jie knew he was right when he saw his expression, "Humph, I knew it. Tell me, when did you know that? Why did you hide it from me?"

Xing Yi was a little embarrassed, "That is, when we were in Mobei, this is the master's business after all, and we, as subordinates, dare not gossip about it."

Chu Jie was unhappy, "You all know, but I don't. Humph, the emperor's uncle did it on purpose, just wanting to hide it from me."

"Actually... no, the master didn't agree to this marriage at the beginning."

"Don't agree? Why? Sister Lan is so nice."

Xing Yi had a complicated expression. "This prince never thought about getting married before. For so many years, the court officials have submitted memorials on this matter every year, but the prince was unmoved. It was not until not long ago that he learned that the master was engaged to Miss Li that the master...changed his mind."

Chu Jie put his hands behind his back, looking like a young man, "So, what you mean is that the uncle agreed to this marriage because the person to be engaged is Sister Lan?"

"Yes."

Chu Jie then smiled, "It seems that the emperor's uncle has the same good taste as I do. I also think that Sister Lan is the most suitable person to be my emperor's aunt."

"Yes, yes, the emperor and the prince are uncle and nephew, so naturally their perspectives on people are the most similar."

Chu Jie found such words very useful. He was trained by the emperor's uncle, so isn't it normal to be like him?

"So what should I do now? Wasn't it the uncle who let the news of the marriage spread? Should I also issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage? Or give my sister some gifts?"

It would be inappropriate to do nothing, right? Wouldn't it make Sister Lan feel that they didn't pay enough attention to her?

"This... I dare not speculate. I really cannot guess what His Majesty is thinking."

Chu Jie slammed the table and said, "Xiao Linzi, get ready. Let's go out of the palace."

Xingyi's body froze, and he quickly stopped in front of Chu Jie, "Your Majesty, it's inappropriate for you to leave the palace at this time, right? Are you going to the palace?"

"Of course, I must discuss this important matter with my uncle. Now that the marriage is settled, when will it take place? What preparations are needed? The regent's marriage is no small matter and preparations must be started long in advance. By the way, we also have to ask the Imperial Observatory to select a good day in advance. This cannot be sloppy either. And..."

Listening to the little emperor's mumbling, Xingyi and Xiao Linzi looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

If you don’t know, you might think that the emperor is the uncle and the prince is the nephew.

How can a nine-year-old nephew worry about the marriage of his twenty-something uncle? And he keeps complaining like an old woman, worrying about this and that?

"Your Majesty, how about we go later?"

Chu Jie frowned, "Why?"

"Well... the prince probably doesn't like outsiders interfering in the affairs between him and Miss Li."

"But I am not an outsider. I am the only relative of the Emperor's uncle."

Xingyi swallowed his saliva, "Before, Master He was beaten by the prince because he concealed the fact that Miss Li was the prince's fiancée. He was acupunctured and hung upside down on a tree in the yard for several hours. Master He is still staying at the mansion of Young Marquis Gu and has not dared to return to the palace."

Uh... Is that so? Chu Jie thought carefully, "Since the emperor's uncle doesn't like others to interfere in his affairs, I won't go. Xiao Linzi, go to my private storehouse and pick out some things that women like. Let's go to the Taifu Mansion."

"Hey? Your Majesty, didn't you just say that you wouldn't interfere?" Xing Yi was anxious. Why did you change your mind right after agreeing?

Chu Jie said seriously, "I won't interfere. I miss Sister Lan. Can't I go see her?"

"This... this is not a good time for you to go. It won't be good if someone finds out."

Chu Jie showed a harmless smile, and his little canine teeth made people feel cute. But when Xing saw his expression, he immediately took a step back.

He knew the little emperor too well, and knew that nothing good ever happened when he laughed like that.

"Since the emperor has made the decision, Xingyi will not ask any more questions and will leave the palace now."

Chu Jie grabbed Xingyi's arm and said, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Xingyi, you are going to leave the palace anyway, so take me with you. Don't let others find out. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to do it."

Xingyi sighed, and he knew it!

The Taifu Mansion was in chaos at this moment.

Zhang's face was full of nervousness. "The Regent and Lan'er? How is that possible? How could there be such absurd rumors out there?"

Li Yi was extremely anxious at the moment. How did this news get out? Didn't few people know about it?

"Master, do you think we should go out and clarify this? Who is so vicious to make up such a lie? What will happen to our Lan'er's reputation? Master? Master?"

Zhang stepped forward and shook Li Yi's arm, "Did you hear what I said?"

Li Yi tried to comfort her, "Madam, don't worry. I'll go and discuss this with my father. How did the news of Lan'er's marriage to the Prince Regent get out? It will be difficult to cancel the engagement."

Zhang was stunned when she heard this. "Lan'er... and the Regent? Marriage?"

Li Yi then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. At that time, Li Cong had told him not to tell anyone about the matter between Lan'er and the Regent for the time being, so he hadn't told Zhang yet. Now... Well, it doesn't matter, it has spread everywhere.

Li Yi helped the man sit aside and said, "I didn't tell you before because the matter involved the Regent. Dad warned us not to talk nonsense. That's why I didn't tell my wife. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"Master, what you mean is, Lan'er and the Regent? But didn't Lan'er's master arrange a marriage for her? That's why we didn't find her anyone. How is this related to the Regent?" Zhang was puzzled.

Li Yi sighed, "Alas, the person that Lan'er's master chose for her is the regent."

Zhang covered her mouth in shock. She had never expected this. She thought... she thought her daughter's master was from the underworld and the marriage arranged for her was also with someone from the underworld. She never thought it would be the Regent. This was really unexpected.

"Then...what does Lan'er think?"

"Dad said he would talk to Lan'er and asked us not to bother her."

Li Yi feels really frustrated as a father. Why is it not his turn to make decisions regarding his daughter's affairs?

"But...but now it's spread all over the place, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll go find dad right away, and he will make sure everything is arranged."
