"My little ancestor, why do you have to go to that desolate land in the far north to suffer? Our Sheng Kingdom is a prosperous country with a strong people. Why do we need you to marry into a foreign country? Besides, you are still young, and your mother wants to keep you by her side for a few more years."
"Mother, first, although the neighboring country is located in the north and is not as wealthy as our southern border, they have long since emerged from poverty and are no longer desolate. Second, I am not going there to marry a foreign prince. I am going to find my beloved. The Imperial Master has calculated for me and my destined partner is the great general of the neighboring country, Xiyao. Third, Mother, I am already in my twenties. If I were an ordinary man, I would have married and had children long ago. How can I still be young?"
Sheng Mozhao counted on his fingers and explained one by one to his gentle and loving mother.
"But the neighboring country is thousands of miles away. If you are wronged and neither your father nor your mother is around, who will protect you?" Shi You took out a handkerchief pretentiously and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Qing'e, if things don't work out, we still have Hao Siming. With their combined fighting power, what else do you have to worry about, mother?"
As he spoke, Sheng Mozhao glanced at Qing'e who was standing not far away. Qing'e immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "Don't worry, Queen, I swear to protect your Highness with my life."
Shi You was speechless at the master and servant's coordinated actions. She put aside her pretense, returned to her true nature, and threw the handkerchief aside. "Alright, your mother won't argue with you. As long as your father agrees to your marrying to a neighboring country, your mother won't stop you. How about that?"
"Okay!" Sheng Mozhao responded readily, and then he turned his head and told Qing'e, "Qing'e, go and get my father."
"yes"
There's no need to be so anxious... Could it be that Sheng Quan and I are too affectionate with each other, making our son feel lonely? Why is he so eager to get married...
Shi You saw Sheng Mozhao's anxious look and couldn't help but reflect.
In just two quarters of an hour, Emperor Sheng Quan arrived, and with him came Princess Regent Sheng Moyan.
"Royal sister? Why are you here?"
"I heard from Qing'e that you are going to marry Xiyao, the general of the neighboring country, so I came to see if you have lost your mind." Even if you really want to marry, it should be, no, my brother, no one can afford to marry him!
"Royal sister, please speak louder, everyone in the Imperial Garden can hear it..." Don't I have any respect?
Sheng Mozhao curled his lips, placed his last hope on Emperor Sheng, blinked his peach blossom eyes, "Father, you will agree~"
"Yeah," Sheng Quan walked closer to Sheng Mozhao, sat down on the other side of him, and reached out to touch the back of Sheng Mozhao's head.
"Hmm...?" Shi You and Sheng Moyan both looked at Sheng Quan in disbelief.
"Are you sure? Our precious son wants to marry and move to a neighboring country, and you can actually agree to that?!" Don't you usually pamper him like that? Now he wants to go thousands of miles away alone, and you actually agree to that!
"The woman he's going to marry is Xiyao from the neighboring country?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"As long as he wants to marry Xiyao and not someone else, there will be no problem."
"Father! Zhao Zhao is the future emperor of Sheng Kingdom, how can he marry her off!"
"Stop, stop, stop. Didn't your father tell you and your sister since you were little that you would be the future emperor of Sheng Nation? Sheng Moyan, everything I taught you is the way of the emperor. Don't try to stop making excuses. I plan to abdicate in two years."
"I know. I'm just waiting for you to pass the throne to me, and then I'll pass it to Zhao Zhao immediately..."
"What? You little bastard, what do you want to do? I've worked so hard to teach you the ways of the emperor, and you're actually thinking of giving it up to someone else after you take the throne?"
"Then I'm not giving way to anyone else. Besides, our Sheng Kingdom has always had the eldest son succeed to the throne. Why would a girl like me join in the fun?"
"Don't talk nonsense with me about our ancestors' history. I will pass my throne to whoever I want. You sit on the throne!"
"I can pass it on to whoever I want," Sheng Moyan frowned, his face very similar to Shi You's, and grumbled softly, "Then after I succeed to the throne, I can also pass it on to whoever I want, humph!"
"If you two want to argue, go somewhere far away! You're all busy and can't help me, and you're causing trouble for me. Get out of here!"
The gentleness and kindness on Shi You's face disappeared, and he roared at Sheng Quan and Sheng Moyan to get out.
Seeing Shi You getting angry, Sheng Quan and Sheng Moyan immediately fell silent, sitting obediently in their seats without saying a word.
"Mother?" Sheng Mozhao saw that Shi You seemed very angry, so he poured a glass of water himself, brought it to Shi You, and called her softly.
"Oh~ baby, are you really going to marry that Xiyao?" It is rumored that Xiyao has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and is full of violence. He also looks like a ghost. If you marry him, even if Qing'e and Hao Siming are extraordinary martial arts, they may get hurt.
Shi You was very worried, but his baby had always been a person with his own ideas since he was young, and once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
Headache.
"Oh, mother, don't worry, I'm so smart and clever, nothing will happen to me."
Baby, you are smart, but you are lazy...
As Shi You stroked his forehead, he glanced at Sheng Quan and Sheng Moyan who were pretending to be dead. A mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He gritted his teeth, finally stood up, kicked Sheng Quan, snorted coldly, and turned away.
"Father, has the Queen Mother... agreed?"
The one who responded to Sheng Mozhao was Sheng Quan’s back as he chased after Shi You.
"Zhao Zhao, are you really going to marry that Xiyao? I heard that Xiyao is so vicious that even a three-year-old child would get sick from being frightened."
"Royal sister, don't criticize his name if you don't know the facts. Even if you saw it with your own eyes, it may not be the truth, not to mention that it is just some rumors. You can only know what kind of person Xiyao is by getting to know him in person."
