Chapter 210, Godmother? I think you want to call me mother-in-law!
"I want her to be my consort!"
Everyone was shocked by Winnie's words.
"Winnie, are you serious?" King Leon looked at Winnie in disbelief.
"Winnie, do you know what you are saying?" The queen was also stunned.
"Sister..." Zhong Yangyang frowned, her eyes full of worry. What happened?
"Wow~" Mo Ya poked her head out from behind the prince, her beautiful big eyes curved into cute little crescents, and she looked like she was enjoying the fun and gave Kong Xiyan a thumbs up.
She is indeed the woman she favors!
"Who is it?" Kong Xiyan took a long time to recover and looked at Winnie, blinking, her tone full of uncertainty: "Me?"
"Yes, it's you." Winnie turned her head and looked at Kong Xiyan: "Have you forgotten what you said to me just now under the fireworks?"
Winnie felt that what Kong Xiyan said made sense.
Since these two years were the time that her father and mother had bought for her, she had to choose a partner who was absolutely safe.
Kong Xiyan is a good choice.
"I've said too much. When you ask me this... I can't remember which one it was?" Kong Xiyan was also confused. She didn't remember saying anything special... right?
"Don't you want to take responsibility?" Winnie frowned when she saw Kong Xiyan like this.
Didn’t Kong Xiyan say something nice just now when we were up there?
"What responsibility do I have?" Kong Xiyan was completely dumbfounded. She didn't do anything!
"Oh my~" Mo Ya covered her lips with one hand, her eyes widening: "Sister Xiyan, are you planning to flirt and run away? You're not the kind of person who will take responsibility after saying you like someone!"
"When did I say I was irresponsible after I said I liked you? I didn't even say I liked you!"
"Didn't you say that?" Winnie reminded Kong Xiyan: "You clearly said that you prefer me the way I am now. You also said that compared to the perfect saint, you also like Mo Ya the way she is now."
"Sister Xiyan...isn't it enough to just confess to the princess? You have to involve a saint as well? This isn't good for you!" Mo Ya held her face with both hands, acting shy and embarrassed.
"I..." Kong Xiyan was about to explain when she keenly sensed a strong murderous aura!
"Sister." Zhong Yangyang looked at Kong Xiyan and narrowed her eyes dangerously: "You are not behaving well again..."
"No, Yangyang! Listen to my explanation! Things are not what you think!" Kong Xiyan quickly raised her hand.
"Oh? How do you want to explain, sister?" Zhong Yangyang walked towards Kong Xiyan step by step: "You explain, I'm listening."
Kong Xiyan quickly explained: "I didn't say that to confess my feelings to Winnie, and certainly not to become a consort. I never thought about that at all!"
"You still don't want to take responsibility!" Winnie glared at Kong Xiyan: "That's too much! You treated me like that!"
Don’t you think about it? This was the first time in her life that she lost such a big person and was rescued from the outer wall of the palace by the guards. As a result, Kong Xiyan didn’t want to take responsibility at all. Isn’t it too much?
"What's wrong with me?" Kong Xiyan was also anxious.
“Sister…” Zhong Yangyang clenched her hands into fists at her side. “Looks like you don’t need to explain, right?”
"I need it!" Kong Xiyan quickly looked at Zhong Yangyang again: "No! I'm fine! I..."
"Xiyan..." The queen looked at Kong Xiyan with a smile: "I think I need to talk to you alone!"
"..." Kong Xiyan felt a chill down her spine as she looked at the queen whose smile did not reach her eyes.
When the queen gets angry, she is even more terrifying than Yangyang!
Finally, the queen took Kong Xiyan into the reception room alone, and even King Leon was unable to follow her in.
Everyone was locked outside the reception room, staring at each other.
Mo Ya reached out and tugged at Winnie's hand: "Cousin Winnie, have you really decided to let her be your consort?"
Mo Ya's words drew everyone's attention to Winnie.
"I've made up my mind." Winnie nodded.
After hearing Winnie's words, Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Yongan looked at each other with complicated expressions.
What went wrong? How could such a big mess happen during just a meal?
In the reception room, the queen sat on the sofa and looked quietly at Kong Xiyan standing in front of her.
"Godmother..."
"You still know that I'm your godmother? Why do I feel like you don't want to call me godmother?"
"How could that be? What else can I call you if not godmother?"
"I see you want to call me mother-in-law."
"I..." Kong Xiyan was inconsolable. "I really don't know what happened. I just saw that she seemed to be in real pain and sadness. I was soft-hearted and tried to persuade her. I really didn't do anything!"
"You didn't do anything?" The queen looked at Kong Xiyan: "The guards rescued you from the outer wall of the palace."
"Um, that... that's a little game." Kong Xiyan laughed dryly: "You may not believe me, but we are actually just playing... hide and seek."
The queen did not respond, but gave Kong Xiyan a look that said "Do you think I believe it?" and let Kong Xiyan figure it out herself.
"Godmother, I really didn't do anything! I promise you!" Kong Xiyan looked sincere.
"You didn't do anything, but Winnie is determined to marry you. If you did something..." The queen raised her lips and said, "Xiyan, I heard from the Imperial Master that you refused to send Yangyang back, and now you're planning to take Winnie away?"
Real princess, fake princess.
So you don't plan to keep any of this girl, right?
People can't, or at least shouldn't!
"Godmother, please listen to my explanation." Kong Xiyan took a deep breath and then told the queen roughly what she had talked about with Winnie while standing outside the wall: "I think this is just Winnie's delaying tactic."
"What do you think?" The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Let Winnie in."
After Winnie came in, the Queen said to her, "Xiyan said that choosing her as your consort was a delaying tactic. What do you say?"
"Indeed." Winnie nodded: "She is not wrong."
"Finally, it's explained clearly." Kong Xiyan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Winnie really thought so, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if she had a hundred mouths!
"Mother, I don't want to get married." Winnie looked at her mother: "Not only now but also in two years, I don't think that as the eldest princess of Xing Erling, I must fulfill the obligation of getting married.
I feel I can do more for our subjects in many other ways to make everyone live a happier life.
My existence should not be just a simple symbol. Since I am the incarnation of the Star God, I should bless the people like the Star God so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, instead of choosing to marry a man and deal with the gossip of the royal family and the Church.
Maybe many years later, I will meet a man I like and have children with him, but it must be because I love and appreciate him enough, and it will never be just for perfunctory or to deal with him.
Mother, please forgive my willfulness and let me choose her as my consort this time!"
"Winnie." The queen's eyes moved slightly: "This road is not easy to walk on."
"Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, I will cut through them and make a path of my own!" Winnie's eyes were firm, as if at this moment, all the troubles and sorrows that had been entangled in her heart in the past had disappeared.
"Winnie, your mother will do her utmost to support you and protect you from the wind and rain." The queen took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision: "May the Star God protect you."
"Mother..." Winnie's eyes were burning.
"Winnie..." Tears were also shining in the queen's eyes, as if the little girl she had doted on for many years had finally grown up.
"Just... no one asked for my opinion?" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched.
She didn't say she wanted to be a prince consort...
