C13 She Is Already the Princess Consort
The entire hall was deathly silent, and during the moment when the swords were at loggerheads, a light sigh suddenly sounded out.
"Your Majesty," the Fifth Priestess slowly stood up and bowed. "This subject believes that we should listen to Eldest Miss Lou's opinion. Perhaps, it might be more constructive than Princess Yun Li's."
"5th Daughter, are you going to mess around with her as well?" Zhuo Wentian was puzzled.
"This humble subject only thinks that Miss Lou is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, that she would not do something that would anger the Holy Will."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few sneers came from the hall.
Who doesn't know Lou Zhiwei's name?" Zhang Yang was domineering and did not know how to do it.
What he meant by that was no more than a hint. If Lou Zhiwei's request was not constructive, it would be nonsense to call it small. If he said something big, it would be disobeying the sacred might. Even one's head might not be able to protect it.
Liu Changqing, who was standing aside, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
The Imperial Tutor was truly worthy of his reputation as a sly old fox in the imperial court. He had truly spared no effort in tricking others.
A cold glint flashed across Lou Zhiwei's eyes.
What a famous mouth. His insidious moves were even more ruthless than Princess Yun Li's.
Zhuo Wentian nodded when he heard what she said. "Since the fifth love has already said so, then why not listen to Weiwei's' brilliant opinion '?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Sir Grand Tutor," Lou Zhiwei bowed respectfully. "This subject's first question is one of Sir Liu's."
"Huh?" Liu Changqing, who was called out once again, wanted to cry. Why was it him again?
"According to my daughter's knowledge, when I was betrothed to His Highness the Crown Prince, my daughter's name had already been recorded in the Royal List. Although it was not a big gift, my daughter's name was already written on the list of the Crown Princess's consort. May I ask Sir Liu if this is true? "
"Ugh …"
Liu Changqing's eyes turned as he looked at the fifth meridian, but he did not get a response. He then looked at the high and mighty Zhuo Wentian, but could only see the corner of his eyes which were cramping up. He was truly unable to understand the deep meaning behind this.
According to the law of the west, when a man and woman exchanged marriage certificates, they would have to write each other's name in the clan's book. Thus, when Lou Zhiwei and Zhuo Jinshu were engaged, she was already the Crown Prince's consort.
Similarly, Yun Li's name should have already been written on the Pear King's Consort List.
This was the small benefit Lou Zhiwei had gained from learning the customs of this world. She had not expected it to come in handy so quickly.
The wedding ceremony seemed to be to make up for Yun Li's wedding, but the truth was that they were going to change the name on the marriage certificate in the next few days.
However, his wishful thinking had worked. He hadn't expected Lou Zhiwei, who had always been ignorant of the complicated etiquette of the Western Sky, to be able to pinpoint this trick so accurately.
Although Liu Changqing was a wise man, it was only in terms of governance. He did not know a thing about women like Liu Changqing who were scheming and scheming.
"Your Majesty, what is going on?" When Yun Ge heard this, he could not help but slap the table and rise to his feet.
Yun Li, who had originally been in high spirits, now looked more like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost. Her face was deathly pale.
"Big Brother Book …" She asked Zhuo Jinshu for help with a tearful voice.
Zhuo Jinshu's body trembled as he turned around and hugged her. He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. It's okay."
After receiving the promise of her lover, her heart was finally at ease. She buried her head in his embrace, looking like a small bird that could fall in love with a human.
"Your Highness, our marriage contract hasn't been dissolved yet. You're hugging your little brother's wangfei in front of my legal wife? Is that really okay?"
"Lou Zhiwei, don't be too complacent!" Zhuo Jinshu angrily pointed at her, his eyes were about to spit fire in the next second.
