When everyone gathered together, curiously watching her.
Luo Zhiwan realized that she had just gotten a little too excited.
She narrowed her eyes, cleared her throat, feigned a mournful expression, and, holding Leng Chuchen's hand, asked shyly:
"Is this...is this real? Am I really from the Southern Yuan Kingdom? Ugh..."
She herself felt that she was putting on a somewhat fake act.
Leng Chuchen gently patted her shoulder, "Yes, it's confirmed. You are the daughter of Emperor Wei and Miss Tang. But they had their reasons back then, so don't blame them."
"How can I not blame them? If they hadn't thrown me away, how could I have been looked down upon all these years? How could I have agreed to become your concubine? I wouldn't have almost been beaten to death, ugh..."
Hearing her cries, Emperor Wei's anger flared instantly.
"Hmph! Who dares to look down on my daughter?"
At this point, he turned to look at the Cold Emperor.
"My daughter can't have gone unpunished. You'd better deal with it!"
The Cold Emperor was somewhat embarrassed, so Empress Qi quickly stepped in to explain.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know she was your daughter before. If I had known, how could I have dared to do that?"
"Regardless of whose daughter she is, you punish her just because she forbade her sister to bow to you? Your Celestial Empire truly has strict laws, which makes me dare not underestimate it."
The Cold Emperor shook his head awkwardly in explanation.
"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I will definitely manage the harem properly in the future and will never let such a misunderstanding happen again."
Empress Qi was unwilling, but at this moment, she dared not say anything more.
She could only pray silently, praying that the emperor wouldn't hold her accountable later and wouldn't punish her.
The Emperor of Wei questioned him again with a serious expression.
"You want my daughter to be a concubine? Are the requirements for the Crown Prince's residence in your Celestial Empire really that high?"
The cold emperor hurriedly responded with a smile.
"No, no, I didn't know she was your daughter before. This marriage should be considered carefully."
At this moment, Yiming stepped forward, looked up at Emperor Wei,
"My mother is your daughter, so you're my maternal grandfather?"
Looking at Yiming's chubby little face, Emperor Wei bent down, picked him up, and pressed his cheek against Yiming's, nodding happily repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, you have to call me Grandpa, my little grandson. When you come back to Nanyuan Kingdom with Grandpa, Grandpa will never let you and your mother suffer any more grievances here."
Upon hearing this, the Cold Emperor became somewhat anxious.
"Tianxiang has already been appointed as the young heir by me, so he cannot go to the Southern Yuan Kingdom."
"He's the young prince? But his mother is just a concubine? The rules of your Celestial Empire are truly incomprehensible."
The cold emperor, his face grim, hurriedly explained.
"This was my oversight. If I had known that Zhiwan was your daughter, we could have had a direct marriage alliance between our two countries, which would have saved us a lot of trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei looked at Luo Zhiwan.
“Young lady, would you like to stay in the Crown Prince’s residence? If so, they will have eight sedan chairs and a proper marriage. If not, you can come with me to the Southern Yuan Kingdom. You can choose any young man from the Southern Yuan Kingdom.”
Before she could speak, Leng Chuchen nodded eagerly and bowed to Emperor Wei.
"Father-in-law, Zhiwan and I are deeply in love. Previously, due to her status, we were unable to make her our principal wife. Now that we have confirmed that she is your daughter, I believe that my father and mother will no longer interfere with our marriage. I am willing to protect Zhiwan for the rest of my life, so please rest assured, father-in-law."
Emperor Wei frowned slightly, then chuckled helplessly.
"You have a sweet tongue, but I still need to hear what my daughter has to say."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Luo Zhiwan.
Leng Chuchen couldn't wait and whispered a hint in her ear.
"Zhiwan, quickly tell your father that you are willing to marry me and stay by my side."
He was as if he were afraid that the Emperor of Wei would take Zhiwan away.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Zhiwan nodded.
"I want to be with Leng Chuchen."
That one sentence alone made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
The Wei Emperor immediately nodded.
"Alright, since that's the case, then you should report to the Ministry of Rites and choose an auspicious day for them to get married!"
At this point, he looked at Zhiwan again.
"You've suffered these past years. By age, you are my eldest daughter, the eldest princess of the Nanyuan Kingdom. I will have your dowry delivered. From now on, the Nanyuan Kingdom will be your support. If anyone dares to bully you, I, your father, will be the first to object."
Although Luo Zhiwan's expression remained calm, she was secretly overjoyed.
She picked up a father halfway through her life, who prepared an endless dowry for him and gave her a noble status, allowing her to become Leng Chuchen's principal wife without lifting a finger. Such a good thing would make her laugh in her dreams.
The Cold Emperor immediately issued an edict that the betrothal gifts for marrying Luo Zhiwan should be prepared according to the list of gifts for marrying a princess, and there should be no ambiguity whatsoever.
Tang Rumeng felt indebted to Zhiwan, so no matter how others tried to persuade her, she insisted on staying by her side. She accompanied Zhiwan every step she took, which made Luo Zhiwan feel both amused and exasperated.
Seeing that she was doing well and had her mother by her side, Zhiruo came to say goodbye.
"Big sister, I'm going back now."
"Zhiruo, you don't look well. What happened?"
Zhi Ruo shook her head, "It's nothing. I've just been feeling tired these past few days. I'll be fine after I go back and rest."
"Okay, I'll take you back."
"No need, just have Chun'er take me. You should rest well!"
“Zhiruo…”
She tried to call out to her, but she turned to leave.
Just then, Wei Changle strode in and blocked Zhiruo at the door.
This scene puzzled Zhiwan. She stepped forward and stood in front of Zhiruo, questioning her seriously.
