"As long as you agree to take me in, I'm willing to marry you." Qianrenxue bit her lip, struggling to say the words, her cheeks flushing pink.
"This is right, from now on, you're my wife." Suxian's heart was thrilled.
This was Qianrenxue, the future Angel God!
Marrying her would mean a lifetime of less struggle.
Wahaha!
This is personal charm!
Look!
Less than a day after crossing over, and I've already got a wife!
Who can match my speed?!
Oh, no!
A man shouldn't boast about being quick, it's a sin, a sin…
"Wife?" Qianrenxue's mouth twitched, inwardly resisting the title.
Ugh~ I'm here on a mission, not to sell myself!
"This is our betrothal gift, keep it safe."
Suxian took out another storage ring from his ring and put it on Qianrenxue's finger.
Betrothal gift?
Qianrenxue's pupils contracted, her mind wandering, a strange and inexplicable feeling rising in her heart.
Could it be… he really intends to marry me?
Seeing Suxian's gentle, sweet smile, Qianrenxue's heart trembled, and she felt a moment of confusion.
Aww!
"Come, husband will take you to have fun in Tiandu City."
Seeing Qianrenxue's dazed and adorable expression, Suxian's lips curled up, and he took her hand, leaving immediately.
…
In the imperial palace of the Tiandu Empire.
"You say what, the first prince refused my summons and told me to come another day?!"
Snow Night Emperor's stern eyes flashed with cold light, like a lion about to roar, scaring the surrounding guards.
"Your Majesty, that's what the first prince said."
Enveloped in a dangerous aura, the soldier's hands and feet turned cold, nervously replying.
Hearing this, Snow Night Emperor didn't speak, his fingers tapping on the throne, deep in thought.
He knew his first son, Snowqinghe, was always kind and courteous, and would never ignore his orders.
Could something urgent have happened?!
Snow Night Emperor chose to believe Snowqinghe, pondering for a moment before asking, "What has Qinghe been doing lately?"
Huh?
Hearing the tone, the soldier was taken aback, how would he know what the first prince was doing? Before he could answer, a black robe suddenly appeared in the hall, bowing slightly to Snow Night Emperor.
A killing aura erupted, deep and terrifying, cold and chilling, making the soldier's heart race, and he lowered his head even more.
"Your Majesty, the first prince suddenly gathered all the money in his estate today, and then stayed alone in the palace for two hours."
"After refusing Your Majesty's summons, he went to the eastern part of Tiandu City…"
The black-robed man stopped here, and Snow Night Emperor's brow furrowed, his gaze turning colder.
Unexpectedly gathering all the estate's wealth and refusing his summons made him immediately think of "rebellion."
But thinking of Snowqinghe, Snow Night Emperor shook his head, his expression easing.
Among the four princes, he would suspect anyone of rebellion, but not Snowqinghe. He couldn't believe it.
Snowqinghe was the first prince, and he had hinted at letting him inherit the throne. With his kind nature, he would never rebel.
"So… what could be the reason?"
Snow Night Emperor's brow furrowed, deeply confused. Seeing Night Shadow seemed to have more to say, he urged, "Speak your mind, I won't blame you!"
"Your Majesty, ten minutes ago, the shadow guards reported that the first prince seemed to have gone to Qingya Courtyard."
Night Shadow lowered his head, not daring to look at Snow Night Emperor's expression.
Qingya Courtyard?!
Snow Night Emperor was stunned, staring at Night Shadow as if he hadn't heard right.
What the hell?
Qingya Courtyard is what?
It's the largest brothel in Tiandu City—Brothel!
Ah ah ah!
This rebellious son!
Refusing my summons to go to such a place!
Wah ah ah ah!
It's infuriating!
A majestic and domineering aura swept through the hall, Snow Night Emperor's face turned purple, his roar shattering the hall.
"Send someone to bring the first prince back immediately, by force if necessary!"
"Understood!"
Seeing the soldier leave, Snow Night Emperor sat down, taking a deep breath to suppress his anger.
"Night Shadow, what kind of women don't the noble families in the palace have? This rebellious son would rather go to such a place, truly disgracing the royal family!" Snow Night Emperor's anger was unabated, scolding.
Hearing this, Night Shadow moved his lips, but finally swallowed his words.
This wasn't something a subject should meddle in.
"You've seen Qinghe grow up, you're like his half-uncle, just say it!" Snow Night Emperor displeased.
"I dare not!"
Night Shadow quickly bowed, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude, organizing his thoughts before speaking, "I think the first prince went to that place alone, not intending to reveal his identity, perhaps just wanting to experience it, to relax."
"You mean, he feels too suppressed in the palace and doesn't dare to think about such matters?!"
Understanding Night Shadow's meaning, Snow Night Emperor's brow raised, asking.
Night Shadow didn't speak, his silence indicating his agreement.
"Alright, I understand."
Seeing this, Snow Night Emperor also fell silent, beginning to consider the possibility.
The more he thought, the more he felt it was likely.
Qinghe was already fourteen, with no marriage prospects, not even a mention of a woman he liked.
And in the royal family, everything can't be done according to one's own will. Perhaps Qinghe had been suppressing himself for too long.
Otherwise, with his nature, how could he do such a thing?!
Sigh~
Snow Night Emperor sighed, a hint of worry in his voice, asking Night Shadow, who was like an old father, "Night Shadow, do you think I should arrange a marriage for Qinghe among the nobles?"
What?
Can the Emperor be so fickle?!
Seeing Snow Night Emperor's sudden change in attitude and topic, Night Shadow was stunned.
"Right! It's time to arrange a marriage, hahaha…"
Seeing Night Shadow's dazed expression, Snow Night Emperor's lips curled, laughing proudly.
A man who doesn't marry, how can he establish himself?!
Let Qinghe have a sense of belonging, and he can focus on the empire's affairs, elevating his manly wisdom!
More importantly, I can soon hold my grandchild!
The more he thought, the more feasible it seemed, Snow Night Emperor's face flushed, his heart excited.
Wahahaha!
As expected of me, I can come up with such a plan!
Sigh~ My damn, restless old father's heart!
