"Since Lord Gu failed to propose to Miss An two years ago, it proves that the two are not destined to be together. If they are not destined to be together, it is better not to force it."
"If Tiansheng and Nanguo can strengthen their ties through marriage, it will be a joyous occasion for both countries. We are happy to facilitate such a wonderful event."
After the minister finished speaking, Emperor Tiansheng nodded in satisfaction.
Yi Chenqi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Father, marriage is a major event that concerns a woman's entire life. The parents' decision and Miss An's own opinion are equally important. Why not ask them for their opinions as well?"
In fact, marriage between two countries is no longer just a family matter; it has risen to the level of a national affair.
Logically speaking, An Chaoli and An Yuan'er had no right to say anything. However, Yi Chenqi had his own selfish reasons. Although he couldn't have the girl he liked in this life, he hoped that the person she married would be the one her heart desired.
The regrets he couldn't fulfill, at least she could.
This was probably Yi Chenqi's last act of tenderness and selflessness.
Emperor Tiansheng was somewhat displeased with the Crown Prince's unnecessary actions, but given the circumstances, he couldn't directly refuse.
"Lord An, what's your opinion?"
An Chaoli turned his gaze to An Yuan'er, seeking his daughter's opinion. Once they reached a consensus, he would then give the Emperor a reply.
Everything is happening too fast today, catching An Yuan'er off guard.
An Yuan'er was still not sure if the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom was Yi Chenli.
They look somewhat similar, but she's also worried that they might not be.
Out of caution, An Yuan'er shook her head at her father.
An Chaoli clearly saw An Yuan'er's statement, but when he addressed the crowd, he said, "The two countries are on good terms, and this can also lead to a good marriage. My daughter and I have no objections."
After hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng burst into laughter: "Excellent, excellent!"
Nan Xiubai gave An Yuan'er an extremely bright smile, he smiled like a fool.
An Yuan'er frowned. Why would her father agree? She had clearly shaken her head.
"I can't worry about that now," An Yuan'er was about to stand up and retort when a powerful pressure suddenly pressed her back down.
"Brother, what are you doing? Let go."
“Yuan’er, your father and brother will not harm you. If you make a scene like this, not only will the emperor be in a difficult position, but your father will also be accused of deceiving the emperor. You need to think this through.”
An Yuan'er clenched her fists and could only swallow her words.
An Yuan'er was somewhat frustrated, as her marriage was arranged so clearly.
What kind of spell did the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom cast on everyone? Why are his father and brother both helping him?
An Yuan'er was upset and could only leave the banquet under the pretext of getting some fresh air.
As An Yuan'er left, Nan Xiubai quietly followed.
The two met in the garden, and Nan Xiubai seemed genuinely happy, as if he had received a priceless treasure.
He smiled and said, "Just now, I obtained the most precious thing in the world, An Yuan'er. Do you know how happy I am?"
Finally, he could rightfully give this girl a legitimate identity and openly propose to her. He had waited far too long for this moment.
The figure before me seemed to overlap with Yi Chenli's appearance.
An Yuan'er rubbed her eyes, trying to see more clearly.
A huge figure embraced her, and An Yuan'er felt that the embrace was somewhat familiar.
The man's voice was soft as he whispered in An Yuan'er's ear, "Little fairy, have you ever heard the poem, 'The grass on the plain grows lush and green'?"
"There are other ways to disguise yourself besides wearing a human skin mask. You silly goose!"
