Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 136 Good things come in pairs

Although the emperor did not thank them immediately, his face was filled with joy when he came to his senses. He was very satisfied with the surprise he had prepared today.

There were also some who were very dissatisfied, such as Cui Caiping. If she hadn't been in Zhaoyang Palace, all these plates and bowls would have been broken into pieces.

Cui Caiping looked at the smiling Dugu Jingyao with envy. This scene was also seen by the wife of Wei Guo, Cui Caiping's mother, and Yang Guifei, who was sitting at the top of the table.

Mrs. Wei held Cui Caiping's hand to comfort her, and Yang Guifei naturally hoped that her niece could get what she wanted. In addition, if Cui Caiping married into the Prince of Guangping's Mansion, it would be a great help to their Yang family.

So he thought it over inwardly and then stood up and saluted calmly.

The emperor's favorite now is Yang Guifei. As for the concubine's sudden salute, the emperor has guessed it roughly, but he did not say it and insisted on waiting for Yang Guifei to speak.

The Emperor saw the Imperial Concubine bowing, so he pulled up the Imperial Concubine's snow-white soft hair and pretended to be confused and asked, "My beloved concubine, what are you doing? Why are you bowing?"

Yang Guifei was not pretentious. Following the emperor's lead, she stood up and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty on the birth of your granddaughter-in-law..."

But she had more to say, and before she could finish, the emperor smiled and said, "So it's about this matter! There's no need to perform formalities, but it's a happy occasion."

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood today, Yang Guifei continued, "Yes, since one happy event is a happy event, why not have good things come in pairs? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What other good news is there?"

Yang Guifei said, "Your Majesty, you know that my niece Ping'er has admired His Highness Prince Guangping since she was a child. Why don't you take advantage of this beautiful moment and fulfill Ping'er's wish?"

The emperor guessed that this was the case, but he did not expect the imperial concubine to be so anxious. He originally wanted to discuss it later, but if he did not grant this marriage, people would inevitably think that he was estranged from the Yang family, or that he was giving his daughter to Chu'er as a princess in order to win over the King of Yunnan.

The emperor was in a dilemma for a moment, but Yang Guifei was not in a hurry. Otherwise, if she pushed the emperor too far, the marriage would be cancelled!

The atmosphere in the hall grew cold for a moment. No one dared to speak, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor figured it out, and he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, in that case, then let's do as the imperial concubine said, good things come in pairs!"

After saying that, he continued, "It's just that I have just issued an edict to grant Chu'er the title of princess. Ping'er will have to suffer some injustice. If the marriage is granted, she will not be the principal wife."

Yang Guifei naturally knew about this, but in order to allow Cui Caiping to marry into the Guangping Palace, she still insisted: "This concubine and Ping'er naturally know about it, but Princess Yi'an's status is higher than Ping'er's. But Ping'er can get what she wants, which also puts an end to this concern of mine."

The emperor still loved Concubine Yang. After listening to her words, he felt that Cui Caiping might have been wronged. "How about this? I will grant a marriage between Ping'er and Chu'er. Ping'er will be a Liangdi, but she will enjoy the treatment of a princess. Is that okay?"

As he said this, he looked at Yang Guifei. Yang Guifei naturally knew that this was the best result she could get for Ping'er.

Yang Guifei readily agreed and said, "Then I, your Majesty, would like to thank you on Ping'er's behalf for your help!"

Then he signaled to Madam Wei with his eyes, and she and Cui Caiping knelt together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting me this marriage!"

Although she said that, Cui Caiping was still very unhappy. After all, she had known Li Chu since she was a child, so how could she be snatched away by the Princess Yi'an who appeared halfway? But there was nothing she could do. She knew that this was the best result her aunt had gotten for her.

But she was not ready to accept her fate. After all, this was just the beginning, and it was hard to say who would have the last laugh! So she secretly made up her mind that if she could marry into the Guangping Prince's Mansion, she would find a way to snatch Li Chu back!

After everyone stood up, the lively birthday banquet resumed. After all, the focus of the day was still the emperor's birthday, and this double happiness was just a minor disturbance, and soon no one mentioned it again.

However, those who had their own ideas and wanted to marry their daughters and granddaughters into the Prince of Guangping's Mansion had to give up. With these two in front of them, their own daughters were not even worthy of being compared to them, so forget it!

The birthday banquet ended at the beginning of the You hour.

Although the emperor tried his best to control himself, he couldn't resist being happy today, so he drank two more cups. He was a little dizzy at this time and was taken back to the bedroom by the imperial concubine.

This time, the prince and Li Chu couldn't help but get drunk. After all, the emperor's marriage was such a big happy event. Even though the addition of Cui Caiping was a bit annoying, for Li Chu, he did it. He promised Dugu Jingyao to marry her as his princess.

The prince was very happy because his son's marriage was newly arranged, and the family was well-matched and could even be of great help to his son's family.

Then there is Dugu Xin. His daughter has been recognized by the emperor and can marry the person she loves, which is indeed a happy thing. As for that Cui Caiping, he is not afraid of her. He knows that his Yaoer is a person with her own ideas and will not let Cui Caiping bully her!

Liu Jingyue was also happy! Her CP finally got married, except for the addition of Cui Caiping. However, it was harmless. Just like in the TV series, Li Chu was not a sentimental person, so she was not worried. She was more worried about whether Shen Zhenzhu would still marry him.

Just as everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, the birthday party finally came to an end!
