"From afar I know it's not snow, for there is a faint fragrance... I finally understand why you called yourself Snow Dark." Feng Guang's eyes dimmed.
He stroked a strand of long hair on her chest and nodded generously, "I admit I had other thoughts at the time."
"Oh...you even deliberately made her think that you saved her and got disfigured, to move her, and...you even lied to me."
"I never expected that I would fool such a naive girl first." He looked surprised as he said this, as if to say, "I never expected you to be so stupid."
Feng Guang pursed her lips. "I know I'm not smart, so I wouldn't have guessed that you came to Dawei just to ask Emperor Xiao for that silver-masked strategist."
He sighed helplessly, "That's why I said, why don't you listen to the whole thing in the main hall before you leave?"
"Don't think I don't know that the Silver-Masked Strategist Bai Rong is Xia Qimeng. You and the Ghost King both want her. Do you expect me to just sit there and watch you fight over a woman? After all, I was the one the Ghost King asked to annul the engagement."
His aura turned cold. "You're upset about being jilted by the Ghost King?"
"I'm not upset..." She trembled slightly, afraid that he would slap her to death if she said the wrong thing. "It's just that I'm a woman, and it's embarrassing to be asked to break off an engagement in public."
He then exuded an aura of pleasure, saying, "Don't feel embarrassed, I've already avenged you."
"revenge?"
Her puzzled expression as she looked up was absolutely adorable. Dugu Ji smiled and kissed the corner of her lips. When he noticed her body stiffen and her dazed look made him feel a little teased, which made him feel even happier.
After leaving the main hall, Xiao Ruo naturally begged Xiao Fen to bestow the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion upon him as a concubine, completely disregarding the fact that Xiao Fen was already suppressing his anger.
With a livid face, Xia Chao said, "Your Highness the Ghost King is determined to marry Qi Meng. I wonder what he is willing to do for her?"
Xiao Ruo said affectionately, "One person is enough for my harem. I will do anything for Qi Meng."
In other words, he will only marry Xia Qimeng; he will absolutely not want any concubines or mistresses.
Leaving aside Xia Qimeng and the other women who were moved by these words, Dugu Ji suddenly laughed and said, "Your Highness the Ghost King would do anything for the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
“Of course,” Xiao Ruo replied without hesitation.
Dugu Ji said jokingly, "Then, if the Ghost King needs to exchange a city for this woman, would the Ghost King agree?"
"Yes." A voice fell.
Aside from the women who were moved by his infatuation, all the ministers, like Xiao Fen, changed their expressions. A lifelong commitment to one person is a beautiful story for ordinary people, but for a prince to say that he is willing to give up a city for a woman, if he were in a higher position, wouldn't he be willing to give up the country as well?
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder: Is this the son that the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom values most?
The crown prince poured himself another cup of wine without changing his expression. Who said that since ancient times, crown princes have rarely become emperors?
Dugu Ji chuckled lazily, “Since the Ghost King is so infatuated, in my opinion, Emperor Xiao and the Prime Minister should just agree to this marriage.”
Xiao Ruo and Xia Qimeng both looked at him in surprise, wondering why he would speak up for them.
Xiao Fen forced a smile, "This...you don't know, but three years ago, the Ghost King was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. If we were to break off the engagement so easily, wouldn't that be..."
"So that's what Emperor Xiao was worried about." Dugu Ji seemed to have suddenly realized something, then smiled lazily and said indifferently, "I think it's a good thing to let the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion and the Ghost King break off their engagement. I forgot to mention, the person I want today is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion."
Xiao Fen was stunned. "...What?"
"I want Xia Fengguang to be my empress."
A moment of silence followed, then an uproar erupted throughout the court.
After a moment of surprise, Xiao Ruo and Xia Qimeng realized that Dugu Ji had never intended to have Xia Qimeng. It was Xiao Ruo who had been overthinking things and had rushed forward. Xiao Ruo's expression was subtle, like that of someone eager to declare that this woman was his, but no one cared about them at all... like a clown. He silently sat back down in his seat, and he and Xia Qimeng remained silent.
"You...you...you really said that!?" Feng Guang excitedly tried to jump out, but was pulled back into his arms.
Dugu Ji casually replied, "Yes, I really said that."
"What about my parents? They didn't... have any objections?"
"The Prime Minister's wife did indeed stand up and say she disagreed, but..."
She asked nervously, "But what?"
He gave a wicked smile: "I told her you were pregnant with my child, and she had no objections."
Not only Wang Ci, but even Xiao Fen could not object. Of course, for the sake of Feng Guang's reputation, Dugu Ji was referring to the time he had encountered Feng Guang who had been kidnapped, and how he had raped her while drunk.
"You! I clearly didn't!" she exclaimed, her face turning red with anxiety.
"Don't worry." Dugu Ji placed his hand on her lower abdomen and gently kissed her lips, biting and lingering, which immediately made her body go limp, and she could only be held tightly in his arms. His hand on her lower abdomen couldn't help but slide down the fabric to places that were difficult to talk about.
Feng Guang was practically steaming, and she vaguely heard his deep, sexy voice echoing in her ear, "It's just a child, we'll have one soon."
Even if they don't have one, they could just bring over Qianqian and Luomei's child.
Hmm... I have to say, Dugu Ji's idea is really not kind.
