Xiahou Chongyuan recently discovered that Mo Weixin and Song Qingxue were very close. Most of the time, they were alone together. He wanted to find Song Qingxue to discuss something, but he had no chance and could only wait until the evening.

Song Qingxue finally sent Mo Weixin away and returned to the main courtyard with a sigh of relief, only to see Xiahou Chongyuan sitting in her room waiting for her.

"Your Majesty?"

Song Qingxue was quite surprised. The villain must have been very busy recently. Why was he sitting in her room instead of working in the study?

"Yeah." Xiahou Chongyuan looked up at her, but did not stand up. He just said lightly: "I have seen that you and the princess have been getting along very well these few days."

Song Qingxue laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, it's already so late, what's the matter?"

Xiahou Chongyuan nodded slightly, "Have you heard about Zhao Wanqiu's marriage?"

"What?" Song Qingxue was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that during this period of time, Zhao Wanqiu's marriage was indeed almost put on the agenda by her father.

"Oh, it's okay. You can ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for her and marry her to the third prince."

"Hmm? Why is it the Third Prince?"

Song Qingxue paused, "..."

Why? Because that’s what it says in the book!

Moreover, it was written in the book that Xiahou Chongyuan personally asked the young emperor to arrange this marriage. She was just following the plot when she said this.

Xiahou Chongyuan was so good that he even asked her why!

That's strange!

Could it be that the people in this world will experience some changes because of her unexpected arrival?

Looking up at Xiahou Chongyuan, she saw that he really had a hint of doubt on his face. Song Qingxue coughed awkwardly and explained, "Zhao Wanqiu is just a concubine's daughter. Even if she marries into an official's family, she probably can't be the principal wife. It would be better for her to marry the third prince, who is also a concubine's daughter."

"Oh?" Xiahou Chongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

"The Third Prince is a family member after all. He knows everything about us. If Zhao Wanqiu marries him, at least she won't be wronged."

Xiahou Chongyuan looked at her inquiringly, "Hmm? Why are you suddenly so concerned about Miss Zhao?"

Although Song Qingxue and Zhao Wanqiu never quarreled in front of him, he was well aware of their breakup.

Could it be that Song Qingxue made this suggestion just to follow her plot?

But if the plot went as she had imagined, wouldn't the final ending be as he had heard before?

He is the villain and will eventually be defeated by Xiahou Chun, and the country will eventually become Xiahou Chun's.

Song Qingxue didn't know about his suspicions and continued to make up excuses, "Well, although Miss Zhao and I are not as close as we used to be, we have been sisters for many years after all, and I always hope that she can live a better life."

"Um."

It's indeed a reasonable reason.

But should we do as Song Qingxue said?

Xiahou Chongyuan hesitated.

When he first heard about it today, he thought about simply assigning Zhao Wanqiu to Xiahou Chun.

Although Xiahou Jun had never been favored and had little presence in the court, he was indeed at the age to get married.

Instead of taking the trouble to choose among officials from different families, it would be better to just bring these two together.

Zhao Wanqiu's father was the Minister of Rites and her family background was decent. She herself was just a concubine's daughter, so she didn't have to worry about Xiahou Chun becoming too powerful.

But now after hearing what Song Qingxue said, he couldn't help but worry that his final failure would be because of this marriage.

It seems that he cannot be allowed to make random decisions about this marriage.

We'll have to wait and see.

Song Qingxue felt that his silence at this moment was too abnormal, and she was a little undecided.

She glanced at him cautiously and said, "My opinion does not count in this matter. My suggestions are only from my own perspective. It depends on what you think, Your Highness."

"Your perspective? You knew that Zhao Wanqiu and Xiahou Chun were colluding, so why would you ask me to give them this fair and aboveboard opportunity to work together for power?"

Xiahou Chongyuan's expression was extremely serious, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became a little gloomy.

Song Qingxue felt as if an invisible force was pressing down on her chest, making it a little difficult to breathe.

Her intuition told her that Xiahou Chongyuan became suspicious of her because of what she had just said.

But there was nothing wrong with what she just said!

She spoke so sincerely that she even believed it herself. How could she arouse Xiahou Chongyuan's suspicion?

Is it because she didn't manage her facial expressions well?

Song Qingxue was thinking a lot in her mind, and her mood was full of twists and turns.

She just said it casually.

Zhao Wanqiu and Xiahou Chun are the protagonists. In the book, they are so deeply in love and will never leave each other. Even if Xiahou Chongyuan doesn't let them get married now, they will find a way to get married.

She didn't want to go against the plot because with the halo of the protagonist, it was inevitable that these two people would get married.

The world might indeed undergo slight changes because of her arrival, but in this kind of romance novel, what she believed most was the marriage between the hero and heroine, which was stronger than ten strands of hemp rope.

Romance? What is it?

Something that is bound to happen?

Xiahou Chongyuan was a little confused. He suddenly didn't know what to do.

He found that ever since he was able to hear Song Qingxue's inner thoughts, he was always easily led by her thoughts when doing things.

This is unacceptable.

I have to change this habit.

"Princess? Why don't you speak?" Song Qingxue didn't say anything for a long time. Xiahou Chongyuan was getting a little impatient from waiting, but he didn't seem to notice.

"This matter is more complicated. I think the two of them are quite compatible, but if His Majesty doesn't think it's possible, then the marriage can be cancelled. Anyway, this is just Minister Zhao's family affair. You should stay out of it and let him worry about it himself."

She said such a long speech, and everyone thought the matter could be let go, but unexpectedly, Xiahou Chongyuan simply ignored the rest of her speech and only focused on the first few words.

"How complicated is this?"

“……” The sky cleared up and I was speechless.

She guaranteed with her character that if Xiahou Chongyuan were to do a modern reading comprehension test, he would definitely get zero points after writing a lot!

What kind of comprehension is this!

He didn't read the long paragraph of key points at the end, but just kept memorizing the non-key points.

If she were a Chinese teacher and met a student like this, she would be so angry that she would die!

Song Qingxue was angry in her heart, but she had to keep smiling on her face, "I think they are destined to be together, and their identities are suitable, but the issue of fate itself is very complicated, so it's hard for me to say."

She seemed to say something, but also seemed to say nothing?

Xiahou Chongyuan thought about it and said, "Does the princess believe in fate?"

"Of course I believe it! There are gods in this world, and sincerity is the key to success. I have to believe in fate." Even such a ridiculous thing as time travel happened to her, so what else is there for her not to believe in?

Besides, traveling here and meeting Xiahou Chongyuan is definitely a bad fate!

Bad fate?

Xiahou Chongyuan felt a subtle discomfort in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and even deliberately ignored such a strange emotion.

After two breaths, Xiahou Chongyuan said, "In this case, I will listen to the princess's opinion."

"Ah?" Song Qingxue blinked, confused.

"I would rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage. The princess said they are destined to be together. It would be unreasonable if I didn't arrange this marriage."
