When the emperor heard this, a smile appeared on his face without any concealment.
"Of course I am willing! The joy of Yuehua and Heyi's marriage will last for a hundred years!
Mingzhu, I didn't expect that Prince Heyi would be so fond of you. Now you can take the dowry your father prepared for you to Heyi."
Ying Xixi just lowered her head and said nothing.
Listening to the emperor's joyful tone, he had long been hoping that Prince Heyi would fall in love with her.
He could unilaterally arrange her marriage without even asking for her wishes.
If she didn't intend to escape death, she couldn't let the emperor target her and affect her plans.
She wanted to stand up and refuse!
Now I can only hold my breath.
In everyone's eyes, Ying Xixi's silence was just the shyness of a little girl.
What's more, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, not to mention that she is a princess, so her marriage must be based on the overall situation.
No one considered whether she might be unwilling to go through with this marriage, a marriage for which she had not been asked for her consent.
The marriage between the two countries was thus settled.
Because they needed to prepare Ying Xixi's dowry, they had to delay for some time. Finally, after discussion, the two sides decided to set off ten days later.
Ying Xixi looked at the time and felt that ten days was quite plenty of time. She didn't need to rush to escape for the time being and could do something else.
If she waited until the last night to set fire to her palace, no one would suspect that it was an accident she had deliberately created.
After the banquet, Ying Xixi didn't stay long and was about to leave with Huayan, but was stopped by the emperor.
She closed her eyes and rolled her eyes in her heart.
"Father."
She lowered her head to prevent herself from rolling her eyes at the Dog Emperor if she looked up.
"Mingzhu, are you blaming our father?"
The dog emperor started to use moral blackmail as soon as he opened his mouth.
"My daughter doesn't dare."
The Dog Emperor sighed, "Mingzhu, your father is reluctant to marry you to such a faraway place.
But you also know that the relationship between our Yuehua Kingdom and Heyi Kingdom has been tense in recent years.
Now the people of Heyi are willing to propose marriage, and Prince Heyi just happens to have taken a liking to you. This is the best opportunity to ease the relationship between the two countries!
Mingzhu, you have been well-behaved and obedient since childhood, so you will definitely agree, right?
The relationship between the two countries depends on you!
Don't worry, your father will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you, so that you can go to Heyi with honor!"
Ying Xixi was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard the big promises made by the dog emperor.
She endured it and said, "Father has said so, what else can I say?
If my daughter says she doesn't want to, father will definitely disagree, right?"
The dog emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Mingzhu, Prince Heyi is a good person. You should live a good life with him and don't think about anything unnecessary.
Or do you still have feelings for Prime Minister Gu's legitimate son?"
Ying Xixi heard the implicit threat in the Dog Emperor's tone.
She laughed out loud, "Father, as the emperor of a country, please don't do anything that would disappoint Prime Minister Gu.
Otherwise, things that may not exist will become real things.
It's getting late, Father, please have a good rest. It's time for me to leave."
After saying that, Ying Xixi left directly.
As soon as she left, the Dog Emperor's face turned gloomy.
"Someone, go investigate what's going on between Mingzhu and the Prime Minister's son!"
"yes."
Ying Xixi took Hua Yan out of the palace and walked towards her own palace.
After the meal, I digested the food and didn’t take the carriage.
It just so happens that the distance between the two palaces is not very far.
Ying Xixi and Hua Yan had just walked a distance when they heard a voice behind them.
"Princess Mingzhu."
Ying Xixi turned her head and saw that it was Suonan.
Her face didn't look good. "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"
Suonan walked up to her and looked at her with lowered eyes.
"The princess is now considered my fiancée. Can't I find a fiancée if nothing happens?"
Ying Xixi felt as powerless as if her fist was hitting cotton.
"Then Your Highness, please say whatever you want to say."
Suonan took another step closer, getting closer to Ying Xixi.
She frowned and took a step back to put some distance between them.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself."
Suonan raised an eyebrow, "Princess, you are my fiancée."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince may not be very clear about the etiquette of Yuehua Country.
Even if they are an unmarried couple, they cannot be too close to each other; it is not in accordance with etiquette."
Ying Xixi said seriously.
Suonan crossed his arms, the muscles in his arms were so compressed that they seemed like they would burst the fabric of his clothes in the next moment.
He chuckled, "But in Heyi, engaged couples are family and can be close to each other."
Ying Xixi's eyes fell on Suonan's arm muscles and then she looked away.
"But this is Yuehua Country, not Heyi Country. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of courtesy, he should abide by the etiquette of Yuehua Country."
Ying Xixi's tone was a bit harsh and she spoke very seriously.
She thought Sonam would be unhappy if she said that.
But this person didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all, and even laughed.
The laughter was deep and magnetic, and Ying Xixi admitted that it was quite nice.
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. When I face other Yuehua people, I follow Yuehua etiquette.
But when facing the girl I like, I really can't follow these etiquettes.
I can't wait to bring you back to Heyi and get married."
Suonan stared at Ying Xixi with scorching eyes, the flames and strong affection in his eyes made Ying Xixi's heart skip a beat.
"Your Highness, are you...really attracted to me?"
Ying Xixi felt inexplicably strange, and she even conspiratorially thought that Suonan's feelings for her might just be an act.
The purpose of He Yi's trip might be to marry a princess.
For Heyi and Yuehua, marriage is the most important thing at the moment.
In order to achieve the goal, it is not impossible to pretend to fall in love with a foreign princess at first sight.
"Of course, to be honest, I fell in love with Her Royal Highness at first sight."
Sonam's eyes were affectionate and his tone was sincere.
Ying Xixi didn't believe it, and there was no need to figure out whether this love at first sight was real or just an act.
"Oh, that's a pity. I already have someone I like."
Ying Xixi met Suonan's gaze, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
It would be great if Suonan could give up this marriage on his own initiative.
She doesn't have to escape death anymore.
