Rong Jingshuo felt the increasing force on his waist. He put his big hand on the small hand on his waist, clenched it in his palm, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. He almost embarrassed himself in front of all the ministers. The Queen's nails really needed to be cut.
Maintaining the dignity of an emperor, he hurriedly said: "I already have a queen, it seems I am not blessed enough to enjoy her, but..."
He stretched out his voice and glanced at Lin Xi out of the corner of his eye. He was discovered instantly, so he quickly looked away and coughed twice.
He said seriously again, "My beloved General Lin Xi is not married yet, but I think he is a good match for Princess Mingyue. What do you think, Princess Mingyue?"
As soon as Rong Jingshuo finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
It turns out that the rumors that had been circulating a few days ago were actually true! His Majesty the Emperor actually planned to give Princess Mingyue to Lin Xi.
After all, Lin Xi has been fighting outside for a long time and has 300,000 soldiers under his command. If he is seduced by beauty and colludes with the Western Regions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But now he still gave Princess Mingyue to General Lin Xi, which undoubtedly showed that the emperor's attention and trust in General Lin had reached the extreme.
However, amidst all the shock and noise, there was only one person who remained calm and composed, and that was Su Jinge.
She stood quietly among the crowd with a faint smile on her lips, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
But only she herself knew that at this moment her heart was already in turmoil and was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface.
She clearly felt her heartbeat becoming abnormally fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
An inexplicable feeling of joy surged into her heart like a tide, leaving her a little overwhelmed.
In the past, she had always been disgusted with the idea of marriage, but because her father and mother said it was for the good of the country, she could only suppress this emotion in her heart.
But now, she found that she no longer seemed to dislike this arrangement as before. On the contrary, she felt a sense of expectation and yearning in her heart.
Rong Jingyuan's face turned pale, and he could hardly maintain his hypocritical expression. His good brother really valued Lin Xi and even ignored him, his own brother.
Looking at Su Jinge's face, he was drooling, but he didn't expect that she would be given to Lin Xi. That military commander, could he experience the joy of having a woman? Don't just throw her aside and ignore her.
In this case, Rong Jingyuan's eyes became more gloomy. Don't blame him for being rude. This world will be his sooner or later.
As Su Jinge was about to reply, she suddenly felt someone gently tugging at the corner of her clothes.
She looked down and saw Su Chaoge looking up at her, with a glimmer of expectation and pleading in his eyes.
"Hmm? What's wrong, sister?" Su Jinge asked softly.
"Sister, I... I like Lin Xi too. Since you don't like him anyway, just ask the Emperor to pick someone else for you." Su Chaoge pouted and acted like a spoiled child as usual. There was a hint of grievance in her tone, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Chaoge was secretly thinking in her heart that although she had special feelings for Rong Jingyuan, when she learned that Su Jinge was going to be married to Lin Xi, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
How could Su Jinge marry a powerful man like Lin Xi? No, she absolutely couldn't let this happen. Only she was worthy of such a man. Even if she hadn't married Lin Xi, she would never let Su Jinge marry him.
Su Chaoge had completely forgotten that the purpose of his father and mother asking Su Jinge to marry into the royal family was to use her beauty to gain benefits for their country and to have the support of the Star Country.
