An Huaxin lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the one guarding the eastern border is my father, Prince Zhenyuan An Shinan."
Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly at An Huaxin's blunt warning. Why was this kid so blunt? Wasn't this clearly meant to embarrass her?
Fortunately, she is thick-skinned.
"Well... a tiger father will have a dog daughter. With the general's talent, he will take over your father's position sooner or later. Why should the general be so clear about it?" Ji Xingzhi walked to sit next to Xiao Moyan and said with a smile.
When An Huaxin heard this, her face turned ugly for a moment. If she succeeded her father's throne, the prince, as the regent of Lizhou, would not be able to go to the East Territory with her, and she could not leave her post without permission.
Thinking of this, An Huaxin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I am a woman. Sooner or later, I will get married. There will be someone more suitable to take over my father's position."
"We'll discuss these matters later. I just don't know what General An's intentions are in coming to the Imperial Capital?" Ji Xingzhi wore an understanding smile, but in her heart she wished she could just throw An Huaxin back to the Eastern Territory. Why did he come to the Imperial Capital when he was fine? Lately, she's been busy pretending to be incompetent, and Wu Fang has been handling many things. That Wu Fang is really something, he didn't even tell her that Hua Anhua had come, such a big thing!
In fact, this is not Wu Fang's fault. Ji Xingzhi threw the matter to Wu Fang, and Wu Fang was also very busy.
An Huaxin made no secret of her admiration as she stared at Xiao Moyan. Perhaps because she was born in a military camp, her temperament was calmer and more straightforward than that of ordinary ladies, and her words were bolder than those of ordinary women. "Thirteen years have already passed. This humble servant has come here to propose to the prince."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi started coughing violently, apparently choking on his own saliva. Before anyone could react, he reached out and took the glass of water in front of Xiao Moyan, poured it into his mouth, and patted his chest to breathe smoothly.
Xiao Moyan didn't mind it, as he was used to it, and the people from the palace who were serving nearby were also used to it.
Only An Huaxin's face changed slightly. He looked at the empty cup in Ji Xingzhi's hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself. That cup of water was what the prince had drunk...
"Uh... ahem, General An is indeed a heroine... hehe..." Ji Xingzhi forced a smile.
An Huaxin turned to look at Xiao Moyan. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with the colors of the starry sky, bright and brilliant. She looked at Xiao Moyan seriously and asked cautiously, "Please give me an answer, Your Highness."
Xiao Moyan also raised his eyes to look at An Huaxin, his eyes still cold and clear: "General An knows my answer."
To be honest, it was rare for An Huaxin, a woman, to do this for Xiao Moyan. Xiao Moyan wasn't heartless, but he couldn't give An Huaxin what she wanted. He didn't refuse outright, intending to give An Huaxin some face so as not to embarrass the girl too much.
An Huaxin seemed to have anticipated Xiao Moyan's attitude, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed: "Your Highness, I want to hear you reject me in person."
After the words fell, without waiting for Xiao Moyan to reply, An Huaxin started to talk on her own: "Ever since I can remember, I knew that I would marry the prince. At the beginning, I was unwilling to accept it. My future was destined since birth, so I rebelled in everything and refused to accept the arrangement. Since I first met the prince in Zhaosheng Palace seventeen years ago, I obeyed the arrangement, only because my future husband was too dazzling. In order to be worthy of the prince, I worked hard to make myself better, learning embroidery, etiquette, calligraphy and painting, and worked hard to become a lady from a noble family. I waited for the wedding to come, but what I waited for was the prince's letter of withdrawal.
An Huaxin has waited for the prince for seventeen years, hoping that the prince will explain the reason himself.
