Unfortunately, Buddha seemed not to hear his prayers; his wife passed away when their child was three years old. The gentle wife who had supported him no matter what he did was gone forever, and she could no longer smile at him.
He never returned to the temple after that, but the kindness he had learned never changed.
Moreover, he wasn't talking about an arranged marriage, but rather a formal proposal. In his eyes, he still hoped that his son and daughter-in-law would be like an ordinary couple, rather than a result of weighing the pros and cons.
…
"Not now." Wan Ge hadn't finished what she wanted to do, and she wouldn't agree to marry him now.
"Why isn't it enough!" The emperor frowned, somewhat angry that the child had defiled the girl's purity! Why wasn't it enough?
“She still has things to do, so she won’t marry me yet.”
The emperor seemed to have figured something out: "Just because that girl isn't willing to marry you yet, you..."
"No, no, no!" Although Wei Shengli had dreamed of her countless times, he never had such thoughts in real life. This time it was an accident, really just an accident.
"You're such a rascal." The emperor sighed helplessly. "Whatever she wants to accomplish, hurry up and help her. What if she gets pregnant after you've done this to her?"
What should he do if the girl gets pregnant and can't hide it anymore?
Wei Shengli paused for a moment, seemingly not having considered this at all. But... does she have a child? And why is she inexplicably looking forward to it?
The emperor sighed and rubbed his forehead, as if he had finally remembered why he had come: "By the way, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Wei Shengli looked at his father in confusion.
"The court officials are all suggesting that it's time to grant Prince Yin a fiefdom and send him there." In fact, after ascending the throne, the emperor had the crown prince help him with many matters.
The reason why Prince Yin has not been granted a fiefdom is because the Crown Prince has never brought it up. Whenever Prince Yin does bring it up, the Crown Prince will say to wait.
"Let's wait a little longer, just a little longer." After Wan Ge had done everything she wanted to do.
"Are we still waiting?" Actually, it wasn't anything serious. Prince Yin seemed to have no desire to seize power anymore. Whether in the capital or his fiefdom, it seemed to make no difference to him.
"Um."
"Alright then, I'll head back now. You should listen to me and marry her as soon as possible." After patting him on the shoulder, the emperor left.
…
One day during court, Wei Shengli was overjoyed to see Wan Ge and was about to approach her when she saw Fu Jiuqing getting close to her.
Wei Shengli's expression changed immediately, and he stepped forward to separate the two, standing between them.
Wei Shengli suddenly realized that he no longer needed to guard against Yun Xiangjian, but should guard against Fu Jiuqing.
Wan Ge and he grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Fu Jiuqing is also extremely handsome and talented, so it's perfectly normal for him to win a woman's heart.
"Your Highness!" Fu Jiuqing quickly bowed.
"Your Highness." Wan Ge smiled and bowed in return.
"My brother seems to be in good spirits today."
Wan Ge thought to herself, "That's right, I rested for a day yesterday." She added, "It's good, thanks to Your Highness."
