Chapter 567 - 567 554 Going Together
?Chapter 567: Chapter 554: Going Together Chapter 567: Chapter 554: Going Together “But Mother, there are reasons behind this matter…” Chu Yunzhao hurriedly defended.
“No matter what reasons there might be, let this matter rest, you need not utter another word,” Concubine Hui sternly reproached.
“But…” Chu Yunzhao wanted to argue more but, seeing the forbidding expression and fierce gaze of Concubine Hui, he could only halt his words and helplessly look towards Chu Shengrui, “Father, you see mother…”
He swallowed hard, halting mid-sentence, biting his lip, his eyes reddening.
Chu Shengrui patted Chu Yunzhao’s shoulder and motioned for him to sit down before turning to Concubine Hui, “It is quite rare for you to react so emphatically, what has agitated you today?”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me,” Concubine Hui sighed, her eyes also reddening, “I am left with little choice. Yunzhao is interested in Miss Luo and it seems that she reciprocates. They would be a perfect couple, but, unfortunately, their horoscopes…”
“This matter concerns the empress dowager’s health. Naturally, I dare not relent. Yunzhao has kept silent because of this, and upon knowing about this, Miss Luo has been constantly worried, and has been ill for a while.”
“She also argues that she would be at fault if Yunzhao were reluctant to discuss a prospective marriage because of her. In such a case, she instances that she would spend her remaining life in retreat in a temple. It is truly regrettable. Her father, Mr. Luo, despite having two sons, cherishes his only daughter like a pearl in his palm. If Miss Luo were to take that action, Mr. Luo may fall gravely ill.”
“If this matter cannot be salvaged, I thought about helping Yunzhao abandon the idea completely. It might seem difficult for the two now as they are emotionally attached, but I believe with enough time, they will forget.”
“Recently, the Ministry of Rites has selected several good individuals. While their family background is somewhat low and their temperaments not as good as Miss Luo’s, I find that their looks are quite pleasant and two of them dance and sing quite well.”
