Since seeing Meng Yuan's appearance, he had been on the verge of moving, but because of the speech of Emperor Ming, he dared not come forward. Now that the emperor had finished, he jumped up excitedly and shouted cheerfully. "Brother Yuan."

The other people present had already taken it seriously, but Zhao Ling couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. The style of presentation here was so out of line, how could she just accept it?

Meng Yuan showed a rare soft expression to Meng Tianlin who jumped up in front of him, and called him softly, "Tianlin."

Hmm? Zhao Ling was a little surprised. It was rare for this guy to be so kind to people, but now...

Meng Tianlin squatted down and shook Meng Yuan's arm with an innocent smile on his face. "Brother Yuan, Tianlin likes Sister Zhao very much. You should marry her home soon. Tianlin wants Sister Zhao to become your princess soon."

Meng Tianlin's words made Zhao Ling almost choke on her own saliva. Could this soft big man be a lobbyist hired by Meng Yuan?

Meng Yuan rubbed Meng Tianlin's head and smiled at him, "Okay, as Tianlin wishes. Brother Yuan will definitely be satisfied with that too."

Because of his guilt towards Meng Yuan, Emperor Ming saw that his second son was infatuated with Zhao Ling and wanted to help him, so he laughed a few times and said smoothly, "Tianlin's words are true. It makes some sense, girl from the Zhao family, it has been more than half a year since I married you and King Xuan, isn't it time to choose a date to get married?"

He turned his head and asked Eunuch Li, who was standing beside him, "Li Yuan, I remember that the eighth day of next month will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, right?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty is wise, the eighth day of next month is indeed a rare auspicious day."

As an experienced slave, he naturally knew how to agree with his master.

"Yeah." Emperor Ming nodded, "Since that's the case, why don't we set this date, and I will preside over the marriage for the two of you, how about that?"

When Meng Tianlin heard this, he jumped up happily. "That's great, Father is wise. Brother Yuan, Sister Zhao, Tianlin can eat candy and happy cakes, so happy!"

Meng Tianyan also smiled and congratulated Meng Yuan in a clear voice. "Congratulations to King Xuan."

Meng Tianluo had an indignant expression on his face, Meng Tianluo had always kept his expressions a secret, but Lu Ziqing's face was even darker.

Meng Yuan ignored others, just held Zhao Ling's hand tightly and looked at her expectantly.

Seeing this, Emperor Ming knew that Meng Yuan naturally had no objection, but seeing that Zhao Ling kept her head down and remained silent, he could only continue to ask. "Zhao family girl, what do you think?"

Alas, in order to please this second son, he really tried his best here.

"Long live the emperor, the minister's daughter do not agree." Zhao Ling's calm and gentle voice sounded in the hall.

"Oh, why is this?" Emperor Ming asked in surprise.

Not only Emperor Ming was surprised, but the rest of the people were also stunned. Isn't it all rumored that King Xuan and the future Princess Xuan were deeply affectionate and loving? Although they were not married, the two seemed to have acquiesced in their relationship with each other. So, why did the future Princess Xuan refuse in court at this time?

"Ling'er!" Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Ling anxiously, feeling a burst of fear.

Was it because he acted too rashly and made Ling'er angry?

Meng Tianlin's face was slumped, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ling's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Why didn't Sister Zhao agree? Brother Yuan is a good person, why don't you want to marry him?"

Zhao Ling patted the back of Meng Tianlin's hand, gave Meng Yuan a slightly calm look, and explained to Emperor Ming. "Long live the emperor, when the marriage was granted that day, King Xuan proposed to postpone the marriage for one year. According to his request, there are still five months left in the one-year period, and King Xuan's body has not recovered yet, so the minister's daughter also have one request, and ask for the emperor's permission."

Mentioning the one-year postponement at that time, Meng Yuan's face became gloomy. Emperor Ming was secretly amused when he heard it. Huh, silly boy, who asked you to drag the marriage at that time, and now you are suffering for it. He looked at Zhao Ling with interest, and said, "What request, let's hear it."

"The minister's daughter requests that you first grant the one-year agreement that King Xuan proposed at that time. If King Xuan's body can recover to a level that satisfies the minister's daughter, then the marriage ceremony will be catried out."

Meng Yuan felt that he had never been so depressed in his life. At that time, he was really out of his mind, so he thought of delaying the marriage for one year to coldly deal with Emperor Ming's offer of the arranged marriage.

He clenched Zhao Ling's hand tightly, and looked at her with a sad face, and he really regretted it in his heart.

But Zhao Ling was unmoved, because this was a decision she made after careful consideration.

There were still five months to go before the one-year period, and it would take at least four months for Meng Yuan to completely cure the cold poison, and the time just fitted. If he paid enough attention to himself, he would definitely cooperate with Situ Gong to treat the cold poison during this time.

This cold, jade-like, but lonely man had endured too much pain, both physically and psychologically.. She just hoped to do her best to make him the same as before in the years to come, despite the soft and silent dinging sound at the back of her mind.
