[Chapter 30 Chapter 357 The Princess and the Young Tyrant 12]
Wen Shinian really wanted to ask Xie Jin if he had read something when he returned, otherwise how could he suddenly become enlightened.
However, she was still very happy to be coaxed.
Perhaps sensing her joy, Xie Jin took the opportunity to take her for a boat trip on the lake.
Xie Jin booked the entire boat, and after getting on board, he didn't let anyone follow him.
A medium-sized wooden boat floated on the emerald green lake, gradually moving away from the shore.
At first, the two were on the deck enjoying the breeze and admiring the scenery. A quarter of an hour later, Xie Jin held them in the cabin and kissed them.
Because of her rare cooperation and indulgence, Xie Jin almost lost control.
"Nian Nian, be my queen, okay?"
Xie Jin was breathing heavily, and his thumb gently wiped the water stains on Wen Shinian's lips.
Wen Shinian's breathing was even more disordered than Xie Jin's, and his whole body was weak and powerless.
After hearing Xie Jin's words, she calmed herself down, turned her head away, pursed her lips and remained silent.
Xie Jin couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and his expression suddenly became depressed.
He gently hugged Wen Shinian and patted her back lightly with his palms.
"...It's okay. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
I don't want to...
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have an identity, at least I can still stick to her like this.
That's enough.
Xie Jin pressed his cheek against Wen Shinian's forehead and rubbed it twice in a dependent manner.
"It's not that I don't want to."
Xie Jin paused, had a premonition, and his heart began to beat violently.
He let go of Wen Shinian and looked at her nervously.
"But I am the Princess of Wen State. My identity will only cause you trouble, and your ministers will not agree."
"I don't care! Who cares about them!"
Xie Jin responded quickly and happily hugged Wen Shinian tightly.
Wen Shinian lay on his chest, listening to his excited heartbeat and laughing softly.
"Xie Jin, I was never loved in my childhood. If you really want to marry me, you can only love me."
"If you betray me and fall in love with someone else..."
"No." Xie Jin confirmed, "I don't want anyone else except you."
Wen Shinian stood up and held Xie Jin's cheek, gently rubbing his fingertips across the corners of his slightly red eyes.
"I'll remember this. If you can't do it..."
Xie Jin tilted his head and rubbed Wen Shinian's palm. "Although it's impossible, if that day really comes, I will let you do whatever you want."
Wen Shinian's eyes flickered, and he squinted and jokingly said, "Breaking his legs and locking him up is okay?"
Xie Jin stopped rubbing his hands and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"What exactly are you going to do with him being locked up? Is it..."
Xie Jin rubbed Wen Shinian's ear and spoke shamelessly in a vile manner.
Wen Shinian's face flushed and his heart beat fast, and even his ear turned red.
"You scoundrel! I think you shouldn't break the leg, but this 'leg'!"
"That won't do! The princess loves it so much, if it's gone, wouldn't you be happy?"
“…Don’t call me that.”
Wen Shinian's cheeks puffed up slightly, and he turned his head away with a twinkle in his eyes.
Xie Jin accidentally caught a glimpse of the excitement in her eyes, and at that moment he understood what she meant.
"Niannian, could it be that you like this and that's why you didn't want to stay in the palace that day?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like it!"
Wen Shinian got furious and slapped Xie Jin's face away when he got close to him.
"Hmm~ You really don't like it?"
Xie Jin shamelessly moved closer, his squinting eyes looking suspicious.
Wen Shinian blushed and turned away, facing him with the back of her head, refusing to answer.
Xie Jin couldn't help laughing, he just thought that Wen Shinian was really cute.
He manually pulled her back and pinched her face twice.
"Wait for me for two days, okay?"
"good."
—
After Xie Jin sent Wen Shinian back home, he held an impromptu meeting that night.
When everyone arrived, Xie Jin didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
"I want to marry the princess, do you have any objections?"
The ministers looked at the sword in Xie Jin's hand, which was so bright that it reflected light, and looked at each other in silence for a moment.
The dog emperor doesn’t even pretend anymore!
Is this a threat? Anyone who objects will be beheaded immediately!
At this time, this year's top scholar took a step forward and bowed with both hands.
Amidst the ministers' admiring expressions, he said calmly, "Your Majesty, the princess has already married into Prince Duan's mansion. It is not logical for her to become your queen."
Xie Jin glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and gently stroked the sword.
"Have you been married?"
“No.”
"Or was there a ceremony?"
“No.”
"Since you have nothing, how can you marry in?"
"Your Majesty, what you said..." The top scholar paused, then nodded under the gaze of everyone, "That makes sense."
Ministers: “…”
What's the logic!
What's the point!!
The princess who was married off to another country has been living in Prince Duan's mansion for such a long time, how can this be justified?
Isn't this a disregard for moral principles?!
"This is unethical. The princess is the legitimate wife of Prince Duan after all. Your Majesty must not do this!"
Seeing that nothing happened after the top scholar's proposal, the ministers of the old faction also came out.
Xie Jin listened to his words, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Are you deaf because of your age? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
"The main wife? Oh, they haven't even been married yet, so how can there be a main wife?"
"Your Majesty! So what if we haven't even met in the chapel? Everyone knows that the princess is the wife of Prince Duan, and Prince Duan is your brother after all..."
Before the old minister could finish his words, the cold blade was pressed against his neck.
"Since you're so concerned about Prince Duan, why don't I send you down to accompany him?"
Xie Jin's aura instantly became fierce, and the coldness in his eyes was sharper than the sword in his hand.
The old minister's heart trembled, and he realized belatedly what he had said.
These old ministers who were able to survive naturally knew the relationship between the princes when the late emperor was alive.
Among the late emperor's many princes, the relationship between Xie Jin and Prince Duan was particularly tense and bad.
Although the two are born of the same mother, they have been treated very differently since childhood.
Since Xie Jin ascended the throne, Prince Duan has challenged Long Wei many times.
If it weren't for the golden medal of immunity from death left by the late emperor, Prince Duan would have died a thousand times over.
Xie Jin also made no secret of his dislike for Prince Duan and often caused trouble for him for no reason.
On the day Prince Duan died, it was said that Xie Jin was setting off firecrackers in the palace to celebrate.
From this we can see that his dislike for Prince Duan has reached its peak.
But just now the old minister kept calling him Prince Duan and explicitly said "brother"... Isn't this just walking towards his own death?
The others were terrified and felt a cold sweat for the old minister.
"You weren't very talkative just now? Now continue."
Xie Jin sneered and thrust his sword forward.
Feeling the sting, the old minister's legs trembled and he kept begging for mercy.
"This old minister made a mistake in his words, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Xie Jin retracted his sword with a cold face. The old minister who was begging for mercy widened his eyes and covered his neck reflexively.
Scarlet blood continued to flow out from between the old minister's fingers. His lips trembled as he wanted to say something, but just as he uttered a word, he suddenly fell straight down in front of everyone.
That wasn't all. Xie Jin called Lai Fushan to issue an edict on the spot, sentencing Minister Li's family to confiscation of property and exile, and ordered immediate action.
After Fukuyama left, the imperial study fell into silence.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xie Jin, nor could they bear to look at Minister Li's body.
"I want to marry the princess. Now, do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and we have no objection."
