Feng Yege finished speaking and the entire imperial study fell into dead silence.

The emperor finally realised what he said and slammed the table, “Nonsense! How could one country have two Countesses of Rende?”

Feng Yege heard this and looked down again, his pursed thin lips making him look slightly desolate, as if he was hiding because he knew his request was too outlandish.

Feng Yege was the type of handsome that was a bit cold and high class, which made the empress dowager worry over him even more, especially when his face was as pale as it was now.

She wiped away at some tears forming near her eyes.

She thought, this child must have been possessed by that Lou family’s daughter’s demon.

He must be thinking that even if he’s not able to marry the person, at least he can marry someone with the same title.

Was it just because he was too attached to her?

But as long as he’d be able to marry someone else, and break off ties with that woman, the empress dowager would support him no matter what.

Her face instantly darkened as she looked at the angry emperor, “Is the emperor unsatisfied?”

“No, what is empress-mother saying?”

“Then would the emperor like to say why he won’t allow for two Countess of Rendes? It’s just a title, only people are alive! And it’s not like he’s asking to marry Lou Qingwu? Furthermore, Xiliang country’s previous empress even married two people, so why are you so fussy?”

The emperor’s face was a bit unnatural after being scolded by the empress.

That stuff was just gossip, how could his empress-mother spread stuff like that?

“It’s just not reasonable …”

“If I say it is, it is! I’m telling you to do it, so what is the emperor going to do?”

The emperor looked at the empress dowager and then to Feng Yege.

He rubbed his aching forehead, who exactly was her actual son, him or the Night Prince?

Honestly.

But Dongyu was a country that valued piety so if he rejected the empress-dowager today, he was afraid that it would spread that his morals weren’t upright.

Thinking it through that it was just a title, so there was no need to be so hung up over it …

He looked back at the empress dowager and Feng Yege, gritting his teeth before agreeing, “After thinking it through, I also agree. If the Night Prince thinks that it’s a good idea, then … we can seal her as a Countess of Rende. Liu Jin, bring me an imperial decree! I’ll write it now!”

“That’s right!” The empress-dowager was thrilled.

Feng Yege’s eyes flashed, “Thank you empress-dowager and emperor for helping me.”

“This child, ah, you're finally willing to marry a consort. “The empress-dowager held his his hand in hers and felt that even her bones ached for him.

After what happened with the empress-dowager, when the emperor finished writing his imperial decree, his whole mind was a mess.

He didn’t even remember what Feng Yege said the Yuebai clan’s princess’ name was called.

When he looked up to see the empress-dowager rand Feng Yege watching him, he didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask so he silently lowered his head, deciding to just write, ‘Yuebai clan princess’.

That way, he wouldn’t get it wrong.

Lan Bai returned in two hours, back to the Leaning Wind Pavilion.

At this time, it was already quite late so she didn’t look too well.

Lou Qingwu looked at her before putting down her book.

“What happened? Did you find out where Little Bell went?”

“No, Thousand Face hasn’t come back.”

“Why did you look so tired? What happened?” Lou Qingwu didn't’ think this would implicate Feng Yege so when Lan Bai quietly said something,she froze.

“Who did you say Little Bell went to find?”

TL note:  

So tired, I took a nap and my phone said ‘8.20’. I actually thought it was 8.20am and I was late for work.
