I looked hesitant, “Father Emperor probably won’t agree, right?”
“No matter whether he agrees or not, I’ve made up my mind. Today, I’ll explain everything no matter what!”
I suddenly discovered that when he’s serious, he’s even more attractive than when he was arrogant and self-absorbed…
“What if I wants you to give up the position of Crown Prince? Would your attitude still be this resolute?”
The Emperor’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, clearly with a hint of displeasure.
Both I and Qi Chenxuan were startled and quickly turned around, seeing the Emperor standing under a tree nearby, his face dark. Qi Chenxuan hurried to explain, “Father Emperor, we don’t need to…”
“Enough!”
Before he could finish, the Emperor coldly interrupted, “I just want you to answer, are you willing to give up the position of Crown Prince for her?”
Qi Chenxuan paused, then frowned, glanced at me, and then answered resolutely, “Yes! If Father Emperor insists on marrying into the Jing Yue Kingdom, I’m willing to give up the position of Crown Prince!”
I thought the Emperor would be furious, but unexpectedly, he didn’t get angry and instead laughed, “Good, good, good. Worthy of being my son, your devotion is no less than my love for your mother back then!”
Qi Chenxuan slightly relaxed and laughed, “This is called ‘like father, like son’!”
The Emperor then turned around and said to someone behind the tree, “National Master, you’ve seen that the Crown Prince is only devoted out of love and has no disrespect towards the Jing Yue Kingdom. Can we reconsider the marriage alliance?”
A figure walked out from behind the tree, none other than Lan Qiye who was supposed to have left. He raised his lips and laughed loudly, “Haha… I just wanted to test the feelings between the Crown Prince and the Side Consort. After all, our Jing Yue Kingdom’s Holy Maiden is talented in both literature and martial arts, with beauty and talent.
People wanting to marry her could line up for a street. She doesn’t need to be married so reluctantly!
The Emperor then asked, “The National Master won’t cause tension between the two countries because of this, right?”
“Of course!”
