The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 184
Everyone noticed the exchange between Emperor Pei An Long and Xian Zi Xuan. No one could deny that Xian Zi Xuan was the most qualified husband candidate. Any girl who was married to Xian Zi Xuan even if it was just her concubine would have been extremely lucky. Xian Zi Xuan was a Crown Prince who had been chosen from the very beginning weighing from the status of his mother's Family who was the current Queen of the Shixian empire. It was likely that one day Xian Zi Xuan would become Emperor and that automatically the Crown Princess as well as her concubine would have a very honorable status.
That is why when this topic is discussed on the surface, they all look human even though they can not join in talking and interrupting between the two. He wanted to find out how the response of the man who in an instant became the ideal husband and daughter-in-law of all those people. If Xian Zi Xuan ended up rejecting Emperor Pei An Long's proposal for his Daughters, they would immediately propose their daughter who was also the pride of their home Empire.
"While I don't deny that the first thing that will count in a marriage for someone like us is the benefits that can be taken from this marriage in the end, but I still hope that my marriage besides getting benefits also has something sweet like Crown Prince Shao got. I will not deny if I do have an interest in one of the Princesses of the Shao Empire, but unfortunately that beautiful princess is still unable to accept me. So Your Majesty, please give me a chance to win your daughter's heart." As he said his last sentence, Xian Zi Xuan glanced at Pei Shi Liang who immediately turned his face away.
As a woman, of course Pei Shi Liang would feel touched upon knowing if a man would attempt to gain his heart. He admitted that Xian Zi Xuan's appearance looked good from anywhere. In addition to having above average good looks, he also had an imposing aura typical of a leader. But this is precisely what makes him reluctant to open his heart to her.
Pei Shi Liang had no desire to marry someone who came from any imperial environment. Especially a Crown Prince. He only wanted a simple man from an ordinary family because it was only in such circles that he found men who had no other woman in his house other than their legitimate wives.
Recalling Xian Zi Xuan's status once again, Pei Shi Liang sighed helplessly. Currently in the palace Xian Zi Xuan did not have a woman even all of his servants were men. There is no guarantee that the situation will last forever. He has often encountered similar cases where before marriage the husband did not have a woman in his life but after he married and his wife was pregnant, he said, he would include women in his residence for reasons that even everyone would allow. The husband feels sorry if his pregnant wife must serve him alone. What a ridiculous reason!
Pei Shi Liang wanted to have a husband who was like Pei Zhang Xi, who only had Lu Jing Yu in his eyes! Actually Xian Zi Xuan had also only had it in his eyes. But it was because of his own fear that he could not see it.
Emperor Pei An Long nodded his head in order. He understood what Xian Zi Xuan meant. He also saw Pei Shi Liang's watchful and suspicious eyes. As her father I also understood what this daughter wanted. Because of this he also has concerns about the future of his daughter. He feared that no one would be willing to marry him with his great selfishness towards his partner who was not common and even considered not good in general society even though he was a princess.
Right now after hearing Xian Zi Xuan's reply, he felt that some of the burden on his shoulders had finally lifted. He would call him personally after the event ended to speak to him not as an Emperor but as a father.
"Of course Crown Prince Shixian. And so is my hope. You married my daughter not only because of political interests alone because for me, a child does not care about anyone it is the eyes of the heart that I will always care about. I also hope that my children will be happy in their marriage."
"Please Your Majesty give me honor. Let's toast to this deal." Xian Zi Xuan raised his wine bowl which was immediately greeted by Emperor Pei An Long.
This time Pei Shi Liang was unable to determine anything. He can't decide what's best for him at the moment. Xian Zi Xuan was undeniably the perfect husband-to-be. But still about his status.... He will absolutely not tolerate a husband who will bring home another woman in his household life.
Lu Jing Yu who from the beginning had ignored Pei Zhang Xi noticed this sister-in-law and she slightly understood what she was facing. However, he could do nothing to help her. He was also unable to guarantee whether Xian Zi Xuan would be loyal to him until the very end or would instead hurt him severely in the future. He also breathed.
"I'll take care of this. We must ascertain whether this man is truly worthy of Shi Liang or not. If I find out later if he is just another wok who just wants to play around, I will make sure he won't be able to get close to Shi Liang within a ten kilometer radius." Pei Zhang Xi pulled Lu Jing Yu's shoulder so that he turned his head and focused on her.
"Ehem. You did your best."
"What?" Lu Jing Yu asked doubtfully.
"What do you think if you promise to grant one of my wishes?" Lu Jing Yu instantly had a bad premonition. He subconsciously distanced himself from Pei Zhang Xi which instantly made the man unhappy. But to deal with Lu Jing Yu, he already knew how.
"Now is not the right time to talk about it. Naturally, the entire series of this enthronement banquet would end two days later. I believe that Crown Prince Shixian must have taken advantage of these two days to approach Shi Liang with the permission of Father Emperor. If the information needed was not obtained before then, I was afraid by seeing how innocent and naive Shi Liang was, he would be gullible." Follow up immediately to make Lu Jing Yu agree to her request.
"alright. I promise for that. But I wouldn't approve it if it didn't make sense." Lu Jing Yu had a premonition that something that Pei Zhang Xi asked for would definitely not be easy. So he gave the terms before agreeing to it.
"What did Yu'er think of me asking Hem? Did Yu'er himself really want it?" Pei Zhang Xi smiled seductively at Lu Jing Yu, he even stretched out his hand to teach Lu Jing Yu's chin and brought her face closer. Snagat. Like he's gonna kiss her.
"Your Majesty. Please don't be like this. Everyone's around and looking." Lu Jing Yu pushed Pei Zhang Xi before turning her reddened face away.
"So, if there's no one around I can do it?"
"Stop messing around. Do what is planned. Ask someone to get the full information right now." Lu Jing Yu did not dare to raise her face. He could only change the topic immediately. Pei Zhang Xi might not be ashamed. But he was so embarrassed!
"alright. I'm gonna be serious now." Pei Zhang Xi waved his hand to call Mo Han over and whispered an order to him.
