Chapter 161 Like a Sister
However, after Feng Qingge finished speaking, the young emperor did not say anything. Instead, it was Prince Chu An of Huainan who spoke up. He was very satisfied with Feng Qingge, and his own maid also liked her quite a bit.
"I wonder what impression Young Master Feng has of my Han'er? My Han'er often mentions you, and I, as her father, am almost tired of hearing it," Chu An said with a smile, but his calm eyes revealed an unusual attitude.
Raising an eyebrow, Feng Qingge's smile became even more enchanting. "Princess Chu is very good, just like a younger sister, so innocent and naive." The key point was "like a younger sister," which also expressed her own meaning: there were some things she was unwilling to do.
"Perhaps Young Master Feng doesn't understand Han'er yet. Maybe things will get better after they spend some time together." Chu An nodded, still unwilling to give up. His idea was for the two of them to get along well in the future, as some feelings can only develop over time.
“King of Huainan, you must know that some things cannot be achieved overnight.” Feng Qingge retorted with a smile and a shake of her head.
"This... is the Third Young Master sure?" Chu An was surprised. He had said a lot, but Feng Qingge still wouldn't budge. There was nothing he could do. He came to the Emperor hoping that he could make the decision and issue an imperial decree for his youngest daughter and her to get married.
"Of course." Feng Qingge nodded firmly, unmoved.
"Your Majesty." Chu An smiled at her, a hint of victory in his smile, then turned to look at the young emperor sitting above.
The young emperor stared at the two men in confusion the whole time, not understanding what they meant by their words. Although he could tell that there was something else behind their words, he didn't understand it.
So it wasn't until Chu An called him that he came back to his senses and nodded. He had made an agreement with the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan needed an imperial edict to grant them a marriage, while he needed the submission of the south, and of course, most importantly, military power.
As the emperor, just as his imperial uncle said, he is the current emperor, and this is an unchangeable fact. He must shoulder the responsibility. Moreover, the exchange of being a son of an official for the greater stability of his Great Yan is a worthwhile deal. Why not make such a worthwhile trade?
"Feng Qingge, listen to my decree." The young emperor, Mo Beiye, had a serious expression. Although he was small, he had a strong presence, as expected of someone personally taught by Mo Linyuan.
Raising an eyebrow, Feng Qingge sighed helplessly. Was this a case of force? Although she was anxious about why Mo Linyuan hadn't appeared yet, her face remained impassive, as alluring as ever.
He lifted his robe, preparing to kneel, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.
"Your Majesty." The deep, pleasant voice belonged to none other than Mo Linyuan.
Behind him followed a pretty little girl in green, but her youthful attire was marred by the sorrow on her face.
"Royal Uncle? What brings you here?"
"Han'er, you?"
The young emperor Mo Beiye and Chu An spoke at the same time, both looking at the two people who entered from outside the door in surprise.
Mo Beiye stood up. He still respected Mo Linyuan, but he also felt a deep-seated fear of him. Perhaps it was because Mo Linyuan was too strict with him that Mo Beiye was now afraid.
"Ye'er, you are the emperor." Mo Linyuan put his hands behind his back. After recuperating for a while, he had almost recovered, but his face was still pale, though his voice was very strong.
Mo Beiye was taken aback, then sat down again, regaining the composure befitting an emperor. An emperor must be vigilant at all times and maintain proper decorum.
