Chapter 384 The Champion is Gone
Mo Li smiled, slowly walked towards the chair, and said, "Chun Tao, I've always wanted to be your brother. Okay, okay, I'll be your father-in-law again."
Chun Tao said, "Godfather, please sit down."
Mo Li smiled and said, "This time I really have become your godfather." He slowly sat down.
Seeing this, Aunt Tao said, "The number one scholar doesn't have parents either."
Zhu Junhao said: "Uh... the top scholar has a mother."
He walked up to Aunt Tao San, bowed to her, and said, "Adoptive mother, please accept my obeisance."
Aunt Tao was surprised and said, "I'm your godmother?"
Seeing this, Mo Li said, "That's great. Being the number one scholar's godmother is so great. Look at me... I'm Chuntao's godfather, and you're the number one scholar's godmother. We're a perfect match. Come on, sit down, sit down."
Aunt Tao Sangu slowly walked to the chair and sat down.
The bride and groom walked up to the two of them, holding the red silk flower rope, looked at each other, and stood facing them.
Aunt Tao San flung her handkerchief and said, "Bow to your parents."
The bride and groom bowed to the two of them.
Aunt Tao continued to wave her handkerchief and said, "The bride and groom bow to each other."
"Hey, hey." Just as the bride and groom were about to bow to each other, Aunt Tao quickly stood up, walked over to Zhu Junhao, and said, "Son, once you bow, you'll become husband and wife. You'd better think carefully and make a plan."
Zhu Junhao said, "Godmother, please help Chuntao and I be together."
Aunt Tao sighed and said, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so you guys should go and pay your respects." She looked distraught.
The bride and groom kept staring at each other. Seeing this, Mo Li said, "That's enough, stop staring. We'll have plenty of time to look back in the bridal chamber. Hurry up, bow."
Mo Li was suddenly moved, tears came out, and he quickly covered his eyes with his hands.
Chuntao turned her head to look at him and said, "Godfather, you're crying."
Mo Li said, "No, no... I... I am happy. You guys go ahead and pay your respects, go ahead and pay your respects."
The bride and groom were just about to bow to each other when the voice of a father-in-law was heard.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Zhu Junhao and Chuntao gritted their teeth and bowed down together.
Mo Li nodded in satisfaction. Regardless of the content of the imperial edict, he would finish the ceremony first.
He Shen walked in and saw this. He said, "Master Mo, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell me about such a happy event in advance? Have you finished the wedding ceremony?"
Mo Li said: "Yes, with the Lord."
He Shen said, "Miss Chun Tao, you will regret this for the rest of your life."
Aunt Tao said, "There is still one step left to go, sir."
He Shen said, "Oh? You mean send her to the bridal chamber? That's not important. What I want to say is, Miss Chun Tao, you will really regret it after hearing the imperial edict. Zhu Junhao, please accept the edict."
Zhu Junhao immediately knelt down and said, "Junhao accepts the order."
The eunuch began to read the imperial edict: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Zhu Junhao has insulted the princess and shown disrespect to the imperial family. On the day this edict arrives, he will be stripped of his title of top scholar and demoted to a commoner. This is my order."
The more Zhu Junhao listened, the more panicked he became, and in the end his eyes were filled with despair.
Mo Li then remembered Zhu Junhao's poem. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the poem, but Heshen exaggerated it and turned it into a poem insulting the princess.
He was present at the time and had said all the good things about Zhu Junhao, but it was of no use. He thought he had to go to the palace.
Aunt Tao didn't understand the imperial edict and asked Chuntao, "What happened to Junhao?"
Chun Tao said sadly, "The top scholar is gone."
