Xi Lin Yan raised his head, neither servile nor overbearing: “Nothing in this world is better than the royal family. No matter how high the reputation of Siyue Fortress and Bi Shui Mountain Villa, it cannot compare to this magnificent imperial city, nor to Your Majesty. This subject believes Your Majesty can simply take the two princesses into the harem and confer them the title of noble consorts. This subject believes this is also the outcome most welcomed by the rulers of Feng Yin and Wei Chen!
Dongfang Yan appeared relatively calm, his expression inscrutable, raising an eyebrow to ask: “Just a signature?”
“It’s best to add a seal!
” I daringly added another sentence, causing Bei Ting Zi Han and Xi Lin Yan’s faces to turn dark simultaneously…
Dongfang Yan swept his wide sleeve, decisively saying: “Fine, I agree!”
I immediately exclaimed happily: “Thank you, Your Majesty!” Oh yeah, I’m going to get rich…
Dongfang Yan then waved his hand: “You three can withdraw first. Tomorrow at noon, I will host a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and then we’ll see your performance, Miss Luo!”
I raised my lips and said: “Luo Yan will do her best!”
Leaving the imperial city, Xi Lin Yan frowned, his gaze carrying some displeasure: “Why did you agree to the Emperor’s wager?”
I countered: “Why wouldn’t I agree! If I win, I’ll get the Emperor’s signature. If I lose, I won’t suffer any loss. Why shouldn’t I agree?”
“You—” Xi Lin Yan glared at me, his eyes seeming to wish he could bite me to feel satisfied.
I fearlessly glared back: “What ‘you’? I haven’t even asked why you told the Emperor that I’m your future wife. This is damaging my reputation. Don’t think just because you’ve lost your memory, you’re something special! I thought you’d become more steady and restrained, but you’re still the same, talking nonsense and so annoying!”
He didn’t get angry but laughed, his eyes flashing with a strange light: “If you dislike what I said in the hall so much, why didn’t you speak up in front of the Emperor and have him charge me with deceiving the monarch?”
I was momentarily speechless and turned my face away, refusing to look at him.
