His Majesty frowned, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest of the royal throne. With a name and a surname, it could not possibly be fake. Besides, despite Chunyu’s bravery, the Emperor didn’t think he would have the gall to lie to him.
That only leaves the question of what would become of Liu Li. This was the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree and if it’s forced upon, it couldn’t be justified with reasons or feelings.
Xia Zhuofeng was also thinking through his son’s story. If he’s telling the truth, then this Ye Jinxuan was indeed an admirable woman. Their meeting or union wasn’t arranged, and yet, his son’s feelings were clearly strong.
After a long time, His Majesty raised his eyes and asked, “If you are unable to find this Miss Ye, what would you do?”
Xia Chunyu says with resolution, “If I can’t find her, your humble subject would never marry anyone again.”
“That will not do,” His Majesty said, “Having no male offspring is the biggest unfilial act. Besides, you are the Jing An Marquis’ heir. I will set a deadline for you. If you are unable to find her in three months, you will marry Liu Li.”
The Emperor was certain that Chunyu would never be able to find this woman in the period he set. This way, he would still be able to marry off Chunyu and Liu Li without seeming heartless.
“Your Majesty, how are three months enough?” Xia Chunyu pleaded anxiously.
“Chunyu, I have already been exceptionally gracious on the account of your loyalty and faithfulness. Don’t push my generosity,” the Emperor said, his voice becoming serious.
Xia Zhuofeng understood His Majesty’s intentions. There was no way that Chunyu would be able to find this woman in just three months. That space was just given to him by the Emperor to clear his mind and prepare himself.
When the news reached Liu Li’s palace, Liu Li was dejected. Why did a Ye Jinxuan suddenly came out? Although His Majesty said that there was no hope of finding this person, there’s still a what if…
Liu Li called for a servant and ordered, “Go investigate the Yang Zhou’s government prefecture Ye Binghuai’s daughter, Ye Jinxuan. Report to me as soon as possible.”
When the servant left, Little Ya advised, “Princess, didn’t the Heir-Son Lord previously mentioned that Li Yao saved his life in Black Wind Ridge? Why don’t you summon Li Yao over to ask him?”
Liu Li jumped up. That’s right! Li Yao will definitely be able to clear this Ye Jinxuan matter.
Ye Jiayao was busy in Heavenly Residence at that time.
The peak season for the sales of mooncakes was over so they had to think of other ways to keep the restaurant relevant. She already had tasked Jiang Li to make few new molds to change up the looks of the mooncakes. Although the sales weren’t that bad, it’s still not enough to guarantee profits and secure her brothers’ wages and bonuses.
She has to think of something.
The most popular upcoming event would definitely be the imperial civil service examination in the ninth month where all the scholars all over Huai Song would converge in Jin Ling. When the time comes, every restaurant would launch a few dishes with auspicious names to entice the scholars to eat for a good omen.
Instead of coming out with a few dishes, Ye Jiayao would simply upscale an existing one and launch the Dragon Gate Feast.
The dishes were actually just the same as the Carp Leaps Over The Dragon Gate only with a few twists to it.
