Di Chenyu nodded, "I have heard of it, but I don't know the details."

Shui Qingyin lowered her head, a little melancholy, "The Water Kingdom has a guardian beast, the Chastity Beast. Every time it wakes up, it will help the empress choose a husband. The chosen husband and the empress each have half of the imperial power. Therefore, the selection of the husband is of vital importance to the Water Kingdom."

"Um."

"I..." Shui Qingyin paused, "Although I have three thousand beautiful men in my harem, I feel that none of them are qualified to be the king's husband. The government of Shuiguo is unstable, Shi He is pressing me step by step, and I have only been on the throne for three years, so I want to choose the king's husband myself."

"Choose it yourself?"

"Um."

"But I've never heard that the Queen of the Water Kingdom can choose her own husband. It's always the Sanity Beast that comes forward. The first girl born to the Queen and her husband inherits the throne."

The strange thing is that every pair of emperors and empresses in the Water Kingdom will have a princess born in their destiny.

If the first child is a boy, he will be the prince, until the first princess is born, she will be named the crown prince.

Shui Qingyin is the first daughter of Queen Mother Ning and the late Wang Fu.

"In fact, I can choose by myself. Sixth Prince, don't worry about this. I'm telling you this only because I want to choose you as my husband."

Di Chenyu frowned, "Me? Why?"

"The Sixth Prince's character is incomparable to others, and I admire him."

"Is that why?"

Shui Qingyin was stunned.

Di Chenyu saw through her thoughts and snorted softly, "But the Water Country incident has nothing to do with me."

Shui Qingyin raised her eyes, "No, it is related. Shui Kingdom ranks second among the seven kingdoms. If Shi He is elected as the king's husband and takes away half of the imperial power, he has evil ambitions. If he targets other kingdoms in the future, do you think the Tiansheng Dynasty will be spared?"

Shui Qingyin decided to choose Di Chenyu as her husband after careful consideration.

Firstly, because she likes it.

Secondly, it’s because Di Chenyu is worthy.

It is undeniable that Di Chenyu is the only person she has ever met who has the qualifications to be an emperor. She even thinks that if the Tiansheng Dynasty is passed on to Di Chenyu in the future, he will definitely be a wise ruler.

"Shen Qingqing, when you left the palace and fell from the roof of the guest inn, you did it on purpose to get close to me, right?"

A trace of panic flashed across Shui Qingyin's eyes.

It was not accidental that she escaped from the palace that day.

She received the news the moment Di Chenyu and his brothers and sisters entered the capital.

She also knew why the three of them came.

To find the Emperor Red Luan and to look for the old immortal.

That night, she dressed up and went to the inn on purpose, and also fell from the roof on purpose.

All this, just to appear in front of Emperor Chenyu.

She had been planning to like him for a long time. She had thought about forcing herself on him, giving Di Chenyu some drugs, and losing her virginity to him. It was very easy for her.

Then, he fled.

When the verification beast wakes up and finds Emperor Chenyu, the task will be completed and her goal of choosing Emperor Chenyu as her husband will be achieved.

However, when this thought came up, it was nipped in the bud by Shui Qingyin.

If she just wanted to take advantage of Di Chenyu's talents and make him the king's husband, she could have done so.

But unfortunately, she fell in love with Di Chenyu.

Her true love and longing for him prevented her from taking advantage of him in the slightest.

The deliberate approach during those days was to satisfy her secret crush on him.

"You have already thought of this game from the beginning to the end. You approached me deliberately in order to trick me into liking you. Then, you revealed your identity so that I could become your husband?"

"I..." Shui Qingyin opened her mouth. How to explain?

As if her thoughts were exposed, she felt guilty and nervous. She couldn't help but pick up the cup in front of her and gulp down the water in it.

Di Chenyu had been waiting for her explanation until Shui Qingyin slowly lowered her head. There was a hint of anger in Di Chenyu's silent eyes. "The identity is fake, the forced marriage is fake, everything about Shen Qingqing is fake, Shen Qingqing, no, your majesty is scheming!"

Saying that I like him is also a lie.

"It is said that your Majesty is a playboy and has the power to decide life and death. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. For the sake of the king's wife, your Majesty is willing to put himself in the game and use emotions as a bargaining chip. That's right, the emperor is inherently ruthless. Your Majesty has three thousand handsome men in the harem, so how can there be true love?"

Shui Qingyin frowned, and suddenly felt that her conversation with Di Chenyu was a little off the purpose?

"You are angry because I lied to you. I apologize and I won't lie to you again in the future." Shui Qingyin felt guilty.

Emperor Chenyu: “…”

Was he just mad at her for lying to him?

He was angry at her...for treating feelings as a joke.

"Let's get back to the topic. I know this matter is very difficult for the Sixth Prince, but I hope the Sixth Prince will think about the Tiansheng Dynasty and the common people and give it careful consideration." Shui Qingyin said sincerely.

"If Your Majesty chooses someone else as your husband, will Your Majesty still appear before me?"

Shui Qingyin: Ah?

There is no such if.

She had always wanted to choose him, had wanted to choose him a long, long time ago.

Because she likes Di Chenyu.

When she was Shen Qingqing, she could say the word "like" but when she was Shui Qingyin, she could no longer say these two words casually.

The glory that comes with her status also limits her emotionally.

But she has already thought of a way to keep her original intention and protect the Water Kingdom.

However, it seems that Di Chenyu will not help her...

yes.

Di Chenyu had no obligation to help himself.

Shui Qingyin suddenly felt a little hot. She frowned and looked at Di Chenyu in a daze, "Di Chenyu..."

She tried hard to stay calm, but she couldn't help but get closer to Di Chenyu.

"Di Chenyu, I really like you, I really like you."

Not exploitation.

It comes from the heart.

He never knew that meeting at the bottom of the valley to save him was not their first meeting.

Di Chenyu forgot her, but she remembered.

"Your Majesty, in order to achieve your goal of selecting a royal consort, you really... have gone to great lengths." Emperor Chenyu took a step back, avoiding her, feeling inexplicably depressed.

Shui Qingyin curled her lips in self-mockery. Haha, she had said that she would no longer lie to him, but Di Chenyu didn't believe her.

"Go away." Shui Qingyin clenched her five fingers in her sleeves into fists. That glass of water was not normal.

It's time to go!

"Di Chenyu, please leave. I need to rest." Shui Qingyin turned and left, pausing for a moment. "I know you don't want to be the king's wife. I won't force you any more. The safety of the Shui Kingdom has nothing to do with you. Please leave."

She is here to protect her country!

Even if she died, she would never drag Di Chenyu into this again.

Di Chenyu looked at Shui Qingyin's back and always felt that something was wrong with her.

After walking out of the hall, Di Chenyu felt a little absent-minded.

On his way to find Abao, he saw Shi He hurriedly enter the hall from a distance at the other end of the corridor.
