Chapter 99: Threats and inducements! Should I agree?
He Zhaojun glared: "How dare you!"
Wen Ziduan calmed down completely, turned his head to look at He Zhaojun, smiled, and mouthed: You can try it.
He Zhaojun turned away in frustration. She knew that Wen Ziduan must be telling the truth. After spending some time with him, she finally understood why even Ling Buyi felt that this was a prince well-suited to be emperor.
An orthodox emperor should be like Wen Ziduan, cold-hearted and cold-hearted, not overly attached to any person or any external object, and able to make the most rational judgment at all times.
Then, I must be part of his plan. No matter what, I can't escape unscathed today. He Zhaojun glanced at him and was about to stand up, just like He Yong, who had said no to Emperor Wen, and shook her head lightly.
Yes, the entire He family is in Emperor Wen's hands. If the choice made today does not align with Emperor Wen's wishes, then from today on, there will be no He family in the world.
Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Oh? Ziduan, what's going on between you and Zhaojun?"
"Your Majesty, I have long been attracted to her. However, at that time, she was still someone else's fiancée, so she naturally treated me harshly. I also felt that rashly bringing up this matter would affect her reputation, so I endured it and kept it to myself."
As soon as Concubine Yue heard this, she knew that Wen Ziduan was planning to take all the responsibility and prevent He Zhaojun from being criticized again. However, looking at He Zhaojun's expression, she seemed calm and unmoved by him.
How could she know that He Zhaojun had already determined from the very beginning that Wen Ziduan's proposal of marriage must have been based on considerations of the overall situation in the future. As for the petitions he made in the middle, they were all lies and there was no sincerity in them. Naturally, she was more resentful than moved.
Emperor Wen laughed heartily. "You, you! If you had told me earlier, why would I have almost arranged for Zhaojun to marry someone else? This is truly a happy ending for everyone!"
From beginning to end, Emperor Wen never asked what Zhaojun thought.
He Zhaojun didn't find it strange at all. After all, this was an emperor. Why should he care about the thoughts of a little girl like her? As long as it was beneficial to the overall situation and could keep the He family in the service of the imperial family, no one cared about her thoughts at all.
He Zhaojun couldn't show any hesitation or refusal. After all, what was her father's temper like? He didn't care whether the person above him was the emperor or not, nor did he care whether this was the most difficult place to break out of.
Now, as long as He Zhaojun shook her head and indicated that she did not want to marry, if His Majesty did not agree, He Yong would carry her all the way back to the He family.
"I am honored to share the Third Prince's worries." He Zhaojun kowtowed and withdrew her hand.
Emperor Wen nodded in satisfaction. It was worth his long planning. Today he finally solved a big worry. Besides, he knew Wen Ziduan. He could plan everything else, but he was unwilling to play any role in this marriage.
The fact that he could propose to marry He Zhaojun today must be because he truly cared about her. So he laughed heartily, "Well, my dear He, the youngsters of our two families are already in love and inseparable. Look at their marriage, isn't it a match made in heaven?"
He Yong glanced at He Zhaojun hesitantly. He wondered if He Zhaojun had been forced into this marriage. "Son, tell the truth to your father. Are you willing?"
His eyes were wide open, and his beard stood up like steel needles as he stared at He Zhaojun's expression, afraid to miss any sign of displeasure.
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Father, this is the dream lover of every girl in the capital. Why wouldn't I want to?"
Wen Ziduan pursed his lips.
The dream man of every girl in the capital?
What about yours?
