Chapter 116: The Imperial Edict 1, Some are happy while others are sad

"Well, now we can only do as you say." After listening to Benjamin's words, Yongqi became much more sober. Anyway, he would not marry that Zhihua. He would go to meet Zhihua in the next few days and let her back down.

Yongqi was no longer so worried after he finished speaking. He looked at Benjamin's painting and said, "Is your previous plan going to be postponed again? You finally finished this painting, but you didn't expect that this incident with the old Buddha would happen. Xu Tian and the others have to take care of it, so you don't have time to come out."

Benjamin knew what Yongqi said, and he was also very worried. He had been preparing for so long, but it was postponed again. Wasn't it a bit too miserable that he had worked so hard to catch up with the work? If he had known earlier, he would have painted more slowly. This made him unable to sleep well for several days.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait until this period of time is over." Benjamin said helplessly.

The two chatted for a while and then parted ways. No matter how hard it was for Yongqi to accept, he couldn't avoid it. He still had to face his mother.

——The next day——

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei had just gotten ready to find Song Qing and Xu Tian to meet Zhihua when they were caught off guard by a piece of news that the emperor had already issued an edict, and Yongqi and Zhihua's marriage was thus settled.

They were stunned when they got the news. They knew the emperor's decision, but they didn't expect it to be so fast. It took a long time to finalize Song Qing and Ertai's marriage. Now Yongqi's efficiency is too high! Only one day has passed, and the news has spread everywhere.

Not only Xiaoyanzi and the others were stunned, but as the protagonist of the incident, Yongqi was even more shocked. He really felt that nothing was more difficult for him to accept than this. And yet, his mother was smiling happily beside him. In a moment, Yongqi could no longer bear it. He did not want this marriage and did not want to be trapped in this suffocating place.

Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Yongqi felt never more uncomfortable.

"Yongqi, you are going to be married now, you must treat Zhihua well!" Concubine Yu was so happy that she almost flew up. The marriage she had been looking forward to for so long was finally here. She was so happy!

"And..." Concubine Yu was so happy that she couldn't stop talking. She didn't notice her son's mood at all. Every time she said something, Yongqi's face became worse.

"Yongqi! From now on you can't hang out with Xiaoyanzi and the others like you did before. You should treat Zhihua well now and not think about..." Before Concubine Yu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yongqi.

"Enough! What do you mean by fooling around with Xiaoyanzi? What do you mean by treating Zhihua well? I don't understand!" Yongqi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He could have endured it, but his mother was really talking about things that were out of the question. In his heart, Xiaoyanzi was the best. What did she mean by fooling around with Xiaoyanzi? That was nonsense!

"Yongqi, I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like this?" Concubine Yu was talking excitedly, but Yongqi's sudden move startled her. She was also a little angry. When had her son ever spoken so harshly to her? It was all Xiaoyanzi's fault. She had bewitched her son. Otherwise, why would Yongqi talk to her like this?

"I would rather not have a mother like you! Also, I will not agree to this marriage, I will definitely stop it!" Yongqi was so angry that he blurted out all the angry words.

After hearing the harsh words she said to herself, Concubine Yu was completely dumbfounded. Her son actually didn't want her as his mother! What did she do to make her son hate her so much?
