"Your Majesty, I can't bear to leave." Concubine Rougui cried as she confessed to the emperor, which made the emperor feel even more distressed.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting secretly observed the emperor's expression. Although he sneered at the emperor's love, he could not deny that the relationship between him and Concubine Rougui was not just a casual affair.
A silent sigh lingered in Zongzheng Xiaoting's heart.
"Father, I have heard many rumors about Situ Xunxiao of Yunguang Country. I have only one request. No matter who it is, please refuse to see my portrait."
Zong Zheng Weimo was puzzled by Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words and looked at his daughter.
"Why is that? My daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. If it weren't for that vicious woman Shangguan Jie Li, how could she..." Zong Zheng Wei Mo said this angrily, but he stopped talking when he saw his daughter's smiling eyes.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled softly, "Father, there is no need to be angry. I think the situation is good now."
"good?"
"Yes." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, and moved forward step by step according to his own ideas. "If a person only cares about appearance, then the purpose of this son will not be achieved. If a person cares about sincerity, then appearance is not important. What do you think, father?"
Zong Zheng Wei Mo heard this and glanced at Concubine Rou Gui. His face was filled with tenderness. These words were so similar to what Rou Er had said to him. Zong Zheng Wei Mo laughed out loud, "Like mother, like daughter. I understand. I know what you want."
“Then father means that he agrees?” Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Zongzheng Weimo excitedly.
When Zong Zheng Weimo nodded, he danced with joy.
Seeing his daughter's joy, Zong Zheng Weimo's heart softened a lot.
Concubine Rougui, who had already planned with Zongzheng Xiaoting, called out at the right time, "Look at you, you are not behaving properly when you are excited. You are the second princess of our Luozha country. Is it appropriate for you to behave like this?"
"Mother!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting pouted at Concubine Rou Gui with a hint of resentment, "If I were depressed, you would be worried. If I am in a good mood, you and father will be happy, right?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned to Zong Zheng Wei Mo coquettishly and sat down beside him without any manners. "Father, please tell me, what is wrong with me?"
"My daughter, this is called true nature, who can say anything?" Zong Zheng Weimo smiled dotingly, and touched Zong Zheng Xiaoting's head with his broad palm, "Ting'er only made two requests, what about the third request?"
"This..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked hesitant, drew out his words, and frowned hesitantly.
Such behavior naturally aroused Zong Zheng Weimo's curiosity. He encouraged her in a deep voice, "You can tell your father anything. There is nothing that cannot be said between father and daughter."
"I..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting bit his lower lip and frowned even more tightly.
Zong Zheng Weimo watched his daughter struggle for a long time before he relaxed his brows and said softly, "I am just afraid that my father will blame me."
"If that's the case, then you still want to bring it up. It means you have considered it, right?" Zong Zheng Wei frowned. He knew how many people in the harem used this tactic to play hard to get at Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words. However, at this moment, his daughter's behavior made him feel a little disappointed.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked timid, but secretly observed Zong Zheng Weimo's expression. As expected, Zong Zheng Weimo's upper lip was slightly raised, his eyebrows were drooping, and he seemed to be frowning and squinting, but it made Zong Zheng Xiaoting know clearly that he was unhappy at the moment. However, what he was unhappy about, Concubine Rou Gui had already reminded him in advance, so how should he face it at this moment, and how could he not have a plan to deal with it?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not wait to play hard to get and let Zong Zheng Weimo ask, so he timidly said: "I have considered it. Even if my father will be angry, I will stick to my own ideas. I know that if the marriage is to Yunguang Kingdom, Tianxi Kingdom must also be appeased. Regardless of whether the marriage is with me or not, Tianxi Kingdom will inevitably choose someone else for the marriage to save face."
During the pause of Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Zong Zheng Weimo's fingers kept tapping the cushion beside him, "Go on."
In response to the emperor's actions, Zong Zheng Xiaoting met the emperor's gaze with a calm smile on his face, "Out of selfishness and also out of concern, I would like to ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for me to marry someone to the Tianxi Kingdom."
Zong Zheng Weimo, who was originally suspicious and unhappy with Zong Zheng Xiaoting and slightly surprised by her calmness, gradually felt relieved as Zong Zheng Xiaoting spoke. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who?"
"The third princess Yun Chun." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said with a smile without hesitation.
Obviously, Zong Zheng Wei Mo was not very surprised by this answer, however, a surprised expression appeared on his face. Zong Zheng Xiaoting just glanced at Concubine Rou Gui and lowered his head.
Concubine Rou's understanding of the emperor was indeed unique. Long before she attended the palace banquet, she had clearly reminded Zong Zheng Xiaoting that no matter which country was chosen, the other party of the marriage would have to marry someone else. However, when Concubine Rou was planning the marriage of the third princess, she had already come up with a countermeasure.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting thought about what Concubine Rou and the Empress said when he pretended to be sick and returned to the palace, and he felt relieved. Concubine Rou, who knew the emperor so well, would be able to judge the situation in the harem in the future with the Empress watching over her.
At this moment, the emperor no longer had the disgust and displeasure he had just felt. He was surprised that, just as Concubine Rou had expected, he could not believe that he would be so calm. Just as Concubine Rou had said, this would actually relax the emperor's defenses, and it would be easy to get rid of Zong Zheng Yun Chun and suppress Concubine Zhen's power.
Thinking about Zong Zheng Yunchun's little action at the palace banquet, it was a blessing for Zong Zheng Xiaoting. If it weren't for her little thoughts, how could he and the queen find out that Concubine Lixian had just been removed, and Concubine Zhen was so eager to replace her?
Now, judging from the degree of favor that Concubine Zhen and the Third Princess enjoy in the harem, she might be the second Concubine Lixian. It's a pity that she is still a little irritable.
"Tell me, what are your reasons? Do you know that I am very reluctant to let you marry? Although Yun Chun is not my most beloved, she is still my daughter. What's more, you also understand what the situation is like for the Crown Princess of Tianxi Kingdom." The emperor's words interrupted Zong Zheng Xiaoting's thoughts.
