Chapter 152 Agree
Chapter 152 Agree
"With two masters here, Father will definitely agree. There's no need to expose our inheritance. Besides, we don't have any memories of our past lives. If Father asks too many questions, it will be easily exposed."
Xuanyuan Xingyao did not simply deny it, but pointed out the unrealistic aspects.
Nangong Jing thought about it and realized that if Xuanyuan Hongtai really asked them about their identities in their previous lives and what experiences they had, they would not be able to answer any of them.
If I end up arousing Xuanyuan Hongtai's suspicion and then being exposed, it will only make Xuanyuan Hongtai even more disgusted.
"I just hope the master can be more powerful."
Nangong Jing completely gave up the plan of creating a virtual past life.
There are not many people with god-level cultivation even in the Dragon Shadow Empire. Therefore, when Han Yan appeared outside the imperial study, Xuanyuan Hongtai went out to greet him in person.
"Han Gongfu, Master Bing."
As soon as Xuanyuan Hongtai saw the two of them, he bowed and said friendly, mainly targeting Han Yan.
"emperor."
Since Xuanyuan Hongtai has given them so much face, Han Yan and Bing Linxuan can't be too arrogant. They nodded slightly and greeted Xuanyuan Hongtai.
"Please sit down and talk, both of you."
Xuanyuan Hongtai also knew why the two of them joined together, and gestured for them to sit down and talk first.
After the three of them sat down, Xuanyuan Hongtai asked someone to bring tea and cakes. After doing all this, he let all the palace servants leave.
"I understand the two masters' intentions. I was too hasty in granting this marriage, but I don't regret it. I just hope Yao'er can have a normal life."
Xuanyuan Hongtai still stubbornly believes that he has done nothing wrong.
"In the emperor's eyes, is a normal life only defined by marrying and having children? Then, in the emperor's eyes, are those priests in the worship hall who are married to same-sex partners also living abnormal lives?"
Han Yan wanted to talk nicely before he came, but as soon as Xuanyuan Hongtai said that, he couldn't help but get angry.
Xuanyuan Hongtai's expression changed. There were many priests in the worship hall whose partners were of the same sex. If Han Yan's words were to get out, what would happen if the priests thought he had something against them?
"That's not what I meant."
"What does the Emperor mean?"
Han Yan asked back with a smile.
"Is it wrong for me to want my children to marry and have children?"
Perhaps it was Han Yan’s attitude that made Xuanyuan Hongtai a little angry and embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong in wanting Yao'er to marry and have children. This is your right as a father. But as I said before, this is the life you, Your Majesty, want, not the life Yao'er wants. As Yao'er's master, I just hope Yao'er can be happy."
Bing Linxuan signaled Han Yan not to speak for the time being, lest he really get Xuanyuan Hongtai angry.
Xuanyuan Hongtai fell silent after hearing this. After Bing Linxuan's words, he also put himself in his shoes, so he admitted that he was too impatient and should not have issued the imperial decree to grant the marriage so quickly, which seemed a bit coercive.
"Your Majesty, you know how stubborn Yao'er is. Once he sets his mind on something, he will stick with it. To be honest, Jing'er is very outstanding in both her background and talent. She is a perfect match for Yao'er. I am very optimistic about the two of them."
Bing Linxuan saw that Xuanyuan Hongtai was a little shaken, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"Nangong Jing is indeed excellent in all aspects, but he is a man and cannot bear children for Yao'er..."
Xuanyuan Hongtai knew very well how outstanding Nangong Jing was.
"If I remember correctly, there are nobles in the royal family who choose to be with men."
Bing Linxuan said with a faint smile.
Xuanyuan Hongtai thought, how could those people have the same qualifications as Xuanyuan Xingyao? Besides, those people were not his direct subordinates, so why should he care about them?
"It's not impossible for these two geniuses to give birth to a child with inferior talent. Your Majesty, are you so sure that the child born by Yao'er will definitely have superior talent?"
"Actually, I think it's a good idea for the two of them to separate like this. Jing'er is very talented, and it would be a shame for him to have no offspring. Linxuan, I think we should just leave it at that. I'll take Jing'er out for a few years, and when they've completely forgotten each other, I'll bring him back."
Han Yan suddenly spoke.
Bing Linxuan didn't quite understand what he was doing and why he suddenly stood on Xuanyuan Hongtai's side.
Han Yan gave Bing Linxuan a wink, and Bing Linxuan immediately understood.
"Old Han, please stop making trouble. As soon as I came back, Yaoer knelt down and begged me, saying that he would not marry anyone other than Jinger and asked me to help him. He also said that if he missed Jinger, he would be alone for the rest of his life."
Han Yan said this in a tone that seemed neither true nor false.
"What does a life of loneliness have to do with me? To be honest, if Xuanyuan Xingyao wasn't your disciple, had grown up with Jing'er, and wasn't devoted to him, I would have chased him away when I first discovered he was pursuing Jing'er. Now he's useless and already engaged, so how can he be worthy of my Jing'er?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai himself could object, but he couldn't bear to hear Han Yan belittle Xuanyuan Xingyao in such a way.
"How is Yao'er not worthy of Nangong Jing? Nangong Jing is just the son of a duke, and his qualifications are inferior to Yao'er's."
"But he has me, his master who summons gods, as his backing. I never ask too much of Jing'er. As long as he's happy, that's all I care about. Whether his partner is a man or a woman is fine with me. If he really only likes men, he can choose any of my old friends' sons."
Han Yan’s meaning was very simple, Nangong Jing didn’t have to be Xuanyuan Xingyao.
If it were Xuanyuan Hongtai in the past, he would definitely have noticed something was wrong, but today Xuanyuan Hongtai was already in a rather confused mood.
In addition, Han Yan and Bing Linxuan took the initiative from the beginning, so Xuanyuan Hongtai did not realize that there was anything wrong with Han Yan's words.
"No matter how good those people are, they can't be as good as Yao'er."
Xuanyuan Hongtai said disdainfully.
"No matter how good Xuanyuan Xingyao is, you don't approve of their relationship, and he's already engaged. He's no longer worthy of being my disciple."
When Han Yan saw that Xuanyuan Hongtai had taken the bait, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
"Who said I disagree?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai said this subconsciously, and only realized something was wrong after he said it.
"It seems that the emperor is also optimistic about Yao'er and Jing'er being together."
Bing Linxuan took advantage of Xuanyuan Hongtai's lack of reaction and said it directly with a smile, leaving Xuanyuan Hongtai no chance to regret.
At this point, if Xuanyuan Hongtai still doesn't understand that Han Yan said that on purpose just to provoke him, then all his decades as emperor would have been in vain.
However, Xuanyuan Hongtai also believed that if he continued to oppose it, Han Yan would really take Nangong Jing away and not come back for several years.
It is not uncommon for priests to leave the imperial capital to travel, but Han Yan left at this time and took Nangong Jing with him. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on.
Although Xuanyuan Hongtai believed that Han Yan would not betray the Dragon Shadow Empire because of this incident given his feelings for the Empire, it was certain that he felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if he didn't want to leave any resentment in Han Yan's heart, Xuanyuan Hongtai couldn't continue to oppose Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing's relationship.
Xuanyuan Hongtai would never admit that he felt distressed by Xuanyuan Xingyao's increasingly thin figure during this period, and his increasingly cold eyes also frightened Xuanyuan Hongtai.
Xuanyuan Hongtai had a premonition that if he really forced Xuanyuan Xingyao to get married, then the father-son relationship between him and Xuanyuan Xingyao would basically be just a matter of face.
Although he doted on Xuanyuan Xingyao partly because he had good qualifications and was the legitimate son, he also did so with all his heart and had loved him for so many years. If it was really just a matter of face, Xuanyuan Hongtai would totally not be able to accept it.
"I will cancel the engagement between Yao'er and Zhuge Wan'er because they are incompatible. I will not randomly arrange marriages for Yao'er in the future."
Xuanyuan Hongtai’s meaning was very simple. He would take back the arranged marriage and would no longer interfere in the relationship between Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, but anything more would be lost.
Han Yan was still somewhat dissatisfied with this. His disciple was so good, so why was he not worthy of the position of the princess?
Bing Linxuan noticed Han Yan's displeasure, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to speak.
Xuanyuan Hongtai was so opposed before, and it is already very good that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing are willing to take a step back and stop obstructing it.
As for the rest, take your time. There is plenty of time anyway, so there is no need to rush.
Han Yan understood Bing Linxuan's meaning, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed not a good idea to force him too much.
Moreover, there are not so many false formalities between men, and countless of them live together directly.
Han Yan and Bing Linxuan knew that Xuanyuan Hongtai was a little confused at the moment, so after Xuanyuan Hongtai called the officials from the Ministry of Rites and indicated to the other party that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Zhuge Wan'er were not compatible, they got up and went back to the worship hall.
"Master, what's going on???"
As soon as Nangong Jing saw Han Yan and Bing Linxuan coming back, he immediately looked at them eagerly, his eyes full of hope.
Han Yan couldn't bear to look at Nangong Jing's worthless appearance.
If Han Yan hadn't seen that Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't say anything but was looking at them eagerly, he would have scolded Nangong Jing.
"Although the Emperor won't openly acknowledge your relationship, he has tacitly approved of your relationship. The Emperor will also use the incompatibility of horoscopes to cancel Yao'er's marriage."
The one who answered Nangong Jing was not Han Yan, but Bing Linxuan.
Nangong Jing was quite satisfied with the result, but Xuanyuan Xingyao felt it was not enough. He still wanted to give Nangong Jing a legitimate wedding.
"Yao'er, take it one step at a time. The Emperor himself is quite opposed to you being with men, and it's already very difficult for him to acquiesce to the two of you now. As for the rest, let's wait a few years before discussing it. You're still young anyway, so there's no rush."
Bing Linxuan noticed Xuanyuan Xingyao's displeasure and chuckled to comfort him.
After hearing Bing Linxuan's words, Nangong Jing realized that Xuanyuan Xingyao was unhappy. He reached out and held his hand, coaxing him gently.
"Master Bing is right. We are still young. There is no rush to get married."
Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew that he was a little impatient, but he really wanted to be with Nangong Jing openly.
Although everyone who should know will know about this incident after this, it is still different without holding a ceremony.
Xuanyuan Xingyao let out a long sigh. Let's just leave it at that. There will always be a wedding. Xuanyuan Xingyao told himself silently in his heart.
