Xu San was so shocked that he forgot to kneel down. He stood there in a daze, his mind full of King Yan's words.
Princess of Yan?
Is Xu Lingyi the future Princess of Yan?
She was just a village girl, and she had only learned etiquette in the last six months.
Xu San still remembered how she looked when she first arrived at the Xu Mansion. Calling her a village girl was an exaggeration. She was skinny and tattered, and looked worse than a beggar.
At that time, she was standing at the gate of Xu's house, and his classmates happened to be visiting his home.
She suddenly ran out and grabbed his clothes, saying that she was a relative of the Xu family.
At that moment, Xu San lost all face.
How could he have a beggar relative?
But later he found out that she was actually his own sister.
Xu San still can't accept it, even though Xu Lingyi has undergone tremendous changes in the past six months.
Perhaps because his gaze was too blatant, King Yan glanced at him.
When Xu Sancai met the King of Yan's stern eyes, he seemed to wake up from a dream. He trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, please forgive me."
Xu San crawled on the ground, lowered his head and his voice trembled.
He still couldn't imagine Xu Lingyi becoming the Princess of Yan.
This is the King of Yan, the general he has always admired since he was a child.
The most noble and virtuous prince of the Daqi Dynasty, countless families wanted to send their daughters to the Prince of Yan.
What qualifications does Xu Lingyi have?
But imagine that if Xu Lingyi really married Prince Yan, Prince Yan would become his brother-in-law in the future?
Xu San's heart suddenly surged with emotion and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"Drag her away and slap her in the face." Qi Yuan's voice was cruel.
After Xu Wanning was taken away, Qi Yuan's tone softened slightly, "Miss Xu, are you willing to be the Princess of Yan?"
Xu Lingyi clenched her hands tightly under her long sleeves. Only in this way could she suppress the joy in her heart.
No matter whether it was out of responsibility or for some other reason, as long as he married her, she would be his legal wife and would become the queen in the future.
Her mission was half completed.
No matter how excited she was inside, Xu Lingyi remained expressionless and did not show any behavior that was inconsistent with her personality.
She suddenly raised her eyes, as if she was so shocked that she lost her voice. "Your Highness... are you joking? How can a servant... be worthy of Your Highness?"
She really wanted to agree directly, but she also knew that she had to decline politely.
Qi Yuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm not joking. I'm serious. You don't have to belittle yourself."
Perhaps it was because all this happened too suddenly, Xu Lingyi just stood there in a daze, staring straight at Qi Yuan.
Gu Qingfeng looked anxious, "Miss Xu, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. If you marry him, you will be the Princess of Yan. The Prince will protect you for the rest of your life. What are you still hesitating about?"
If he were Xu Lingyi, he would have agreed immediately if His Highness proposed to him. Any hesitation would be a disrespect to the authority.
Xu Lingyi pursed her red lips, lowered her eyes, and stammered, "But...but you and the general used to be..."
Xu San was so anxious when he heard this that he even wanted to knock open Xu Lingyi's head to see if it was full of water.
"Sister, how can you be so ungrateful? The fact that His Highness has taken a liking to you is a blessing that you and our family could never achieve in several lifetimes. How can you still be thinking about that short-lived guy..."
Xu San was so excited that he was afraid that Xu Lingyi would miss out on this huge wealth, so he spoke without thinking for a while.
Sure enough, after he said this, the other three people present glanced at him.
His Highness glanced at him with eyes that were cold and like a blade with a chill.
Xu San was so frightened that he immediately shut up, no longer looking like a gentleman like a scholar.
"Drag him away and slap him in the face." Qi Yuan said in a cold tone.
The moment he was dragged away, Xu San couldn't help but speak, "Little sister, don't be confused. This is His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. If you don't marry him, who else in the capital will dare to marry you? Your grandmother and father will be pissed off to death by you."
Xu San even resorted to threats.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and couldn't help sobbing softly.
Qi Yuan and Gu Qingfeng have both been stationed at the border for many years. In the past, Qi Yuan and Wei Fuchi went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, while Gu Qingfeng was in charge of logistics.
They rarely come into contact with women, let alone face women's tears.
Gu Qingfeng tried to persuade her again, "Miss Xu, His Highness is a gentleman who doesn't like women. You are also concerned about Brother Wei. Even if you get married in the future, you can just be a couple in name only. That way, you will have a place to go and someone to take care of you, and His Highness can also deal with His Majesty."
"What else are you worried about?"
Qi Yuan frowned when he heard Gu Qingfeng's words, but he didn't know how to refute.
At present, the reason why he married Xu Lingyi is indeed more because he felt a responsibility towards her.
He didn't dislike her either.
Qi Yuan has not yet figured out how to get along in the future.
She has a gentle and kind nature, so it should not be difficult for them to treat each other with respect.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and did not speak, as if she was still thinking and hesitating.
Qi Yuan's eyes dimmed, mistaking her for resistance. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
Now it's almost time. If she agrees too quickly, it will seem that she is too cruel to Wei Fuchi.
Now is just right.
Xu Lingyi raised her extremely beautiful eyes, shook her head and said softly, "No, it is my blessing that you are willing to marry me. I...I am willing to marry Your Highness."
After she said this, Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He really worried about Xu Lingyi.
Qi Yuan's cold lips rarely curved into a single arc.
He slowed his voice, "Then why are you crying?"
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes, "I am simply grateful for your kindness, Your Highness. I know that you are willing to marry me because of the general's promise."
