When Lord Hou heard the news that the Emperor was going to grant a marriage between Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi, he was completely stunned.

Even Chu Weiyue was stunned.

"Eunuch, did I hear you correctly? Or did you read it wrong? Did the imperial edict really mention my daughter Chu Weiyue and the Ninth Prince?"

Chu Weiyue had just cancelled her engagement with Wen Chenxuan, so it would have been unlikely that they would be granted another marriage. But who would have thought that the imperial decree would come down at this very moment.

The eunuch who announced the decree put the imperial edict into the Marquis's hand and said, "You will know whether it is true or not by yourself. This eunuch's order has been delivered. You should prepare quickly. I estimate that the Ninth Prince will come to discuss the dowry with you personally. This eunuch will go back first."

The Marquis didn't react until the people in the palace left.

He picked up the imperial edict and read it several times to make sure he had read it correctly.

Chu Weiyue also took the imperial edict, which indeed stated that she and Wen Jingchi were to be married.

But for some reason, she didn't feel excited at all at this moment, but instead felt a burning sensation in her heart.

Considering how much Wen Jingchi dislikes her and what he said last time, he might refuse.

Chu Ranxin was jealous to the point of madness, with intense anger in his eyes.

Although she had no feelings for Wen Jingchi, how could she swallow the fact that such a handsome man was obtained by a fool like Chu Weiyue?

Especially since she married the man she loved, this alone was enough to make her angry for the rest of her life.

After the Marquis left, Chu Ranxin stepped forward to provoke him.

"Chu Weiyue, you are really capable. I think the prince will definitely not want you. Just wait and see."

Chu Weiyue put her hands on her hips arrogantly: "Then you just wait, he will definitely obey the imperial decree and marry me! I also hope that you, my sister, will marry the person you love as soon as possible..."

This was also a naked irony, which made Chu Ranxin grit her teeth in anger, but she couldn't do anything to her.

After returning to the room, Chu Weiyue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about everything that is going to happen tomorrow, I feel extremely depressed.

How could Wen Jingchi agree to marry him when he clearly hated her?

The next morning, Wen Jingchi was found to have arrived, and he went to the yard where Chu Weiyue lived alone.

Noticing him coming over, Chu Weiyue took a deep breath and was ready for him to reject her.

Looking at his heavy expression, I had guessed everything.

"I didn't expect the prince to come so quickly. Please sit down."

Chu Weiyue politely gestured to him, asking him to sit next to her and chat slowly.

Wen Jingchi frowned slightly, somewhat unsure of Chu Weiyue's thoughts.

She should be happy that she married me as she wished, but why does she look so sad?

This made him a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask.

"You should know the emperor's decree, why do you look so unhappy? Could it be that you don't want to marry me, and want to marry Wen Chenxuan and become his concubine?"

"What are you talking about, my Lord? How could I possibly want to marry Wen Chenxuan? You know how I feel about you. I will never be attracted to another man in my life. I have already told you this, and it will never change."

"If that's the case, then why are you so unhappy? You don't seem happy at all. If you knew that we were granted marriage in the past, you would be ecstatic."

These words made Chu Weiyue couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Highness, do you think I should beat drums and gongs and announce it to the world to celebrate?"

"What's wrong with you today? You seem to hate me."

"Your Majesty, what exactly is the reason for you to come here today? I guess you want to tell me so that I won't have such wishful thinking, right?"

After being stunned for a moment, Wen Jingchi realized belatedly that she was unhappy because she felt that he came here today to reject her.

For some reason, seeing Chu Weiyue like this, I found her somewhat cute and smiled calmly.

"What if this king does not refuse but agrees?"

"What did you say?" Chu Weiyue was completely confused: "Your Majesty, are you really going to agree? You have to think it through."

"I am not a child, how could I not think clearly? I agreed to the emperor's marriage, and I even brought the betrothal gifts this time. Do you think it's fake?"

It took Chu Weiyue a long time to come back to her senses. It didn't seem like he was joking with her at all.

He was stunned for a long time before he asked.

"Your Highness, are you being forced by the imperial decree, or is it out of your sincerity? Although I like you and would protect you from the sword, I don't like being forced.

To love someone is to hope that he can grow old with the person he loves. I also hope that the prince can find that person. Even if that person is not me, it doesn’t matter. I just hope that you will be happy. "

After a slight pause, she continued.

"If Your Majesty does not wish to continue the engagement with me, please let me know and I will speak to the Emperor in person."

Wen Jingchi's face darkened instantly: "Chu Weiyue, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do. I am willing to marry you!"

He blurted out these words without hesitation.

This shocked Chu Weiyue. She never expected Wen Jingchi to say this and was puzzled for a moment.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Wen Jingchi immediately sneered and subconsciously turned his back to Chu Weiyue.

“Don’t think that your pursuit has really moved me. The reason why I am willing to marry you is simply because I don’t want your mansion to become the lineage of Wen Chenxuan.

You are so smart that you must know that Wen Chenxuan and I have been incompatible for a long time, so we must fight for the support of your mansion, which is why I agreed to marry you."

After saying this, he could even feel his own cruelty.

Chu Weiyue clicked her tongue a few times: "Didn't the prince want this in the past? Then why did he hate me so much in the past, but agreed to it this time?"

Such a sentence put Wen Jingchi in a dilemma and he didn't know how to respond.

He could only turn around and glare at Chu Weiyue coldly.

"Don't talk about other things with me. I came here this time to tell you that you'd better behave yourself and not have any more affairs during the engagement. Otherwise, our engagement will be cancelled and you can forget about me marrying you in this life."

Chu Weiyue covered her mouth but laughed smugly.

This made Wen Jingchi a little confused.

Moving closer to him, Chu Weiyue shyly tugged at his sleeve.

"With a peerless beauty like the prince by my side, how could I be tempted by other men? The prince may not trust me, but how can he doubt his own charm?"

Her lips looked like they were covered with honey, which made Wen Jingchi happy in his heart, but he still looked stern on the surface.

Looking at his face which had obviously softened, Chu Weiyue lowered her head shyly.

"Your Majesty, my wound has healed as normal. Why don't we go enjoy the sea of ​​flowers early tomorrow morning to cultivate our relationship."

Wen Jingchi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After a long pause, he replied, "If you don't have any official business, I'll agree to your request."
