"Xiao Jinyue, do you think you are better than me? Isn't you a man I don't want?"

Li Ruyan seemed to suddenly find the point to attack Shi Luo, but Shi Luo smiled sarcastically: "That's right, you broke the engagement at the beginning, but now someone likes Wei Congxi, and you are still waiting to be a name for yourself."

After Shi Luo finished speaking, he paused and said in a sinister way: "By the way, Your Highness King of Jin likes Miss Shi Si. I wonder if Your Highness Princess has the same hobbies as her brother?"

After Shi Luo said that, he left with a smile.

Li Ruyan was almost mad when she looked at her back, but a cold wind blew by at this time. When Li Ruyan thought of Shi Luo's words, she suddenly had goose bumps. She didn't care about being angry with Shi Luo and ran away in a hurry.

In the imperial study, the emperor was still playing chess with Wei Congxi. After one game, Wei Congxi narrowly won. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have been unfamiliar with playing chess for a long time."

The emperor was not angry about losing chess. Instead, he glanced at Wei Congxi. He felt that this child was still the child in his memory. Although his personality was a little cold, he was still so silly. There were many people playing chess with the emperor back then, and everyone was trying to lose to the emperor. Only Wei Congxi, he simply wanted to win. It was said that playing chess shows character. The emperor saw from his chess quality that Wei Congxi was still so reckless. He loved attacking the most, and his mentality was unstable and could not hide things.

"Are you still used to it in the chamber of commerce?" asked the emperor.

Wei Congxi said while packing up the chess pieces: "It's just that I'm too tired. I've calculated the wrong account several times."

Wei Congxi's thoughts were all about chess. He seemed to be dissatisfied and wanted to win another victory over the emperor.

The emperor watched him clean up, his eyes slightly darkened, and he said, "Do you hate me?"

A chess piece fell on the chessboard, and the hall was so quiet that it was terrible. Chen Ming stood aside, so arrogant that he dared not come out. Wei Congxi lowered his head, with a huge hatred on his face. He wished he could tear the emperor apart. At such a close distance, as long as he took action, the emperor would undoubtedly die...

The emperor also looked at him because he lowered his head and could not see Wei Congxi's expression, but it was impossible to make him trust Wei Congxi.

When Wei Congxi told him that he wanted to marry the Princess of Nanyue, the emperor was not surprised at all. He thought carefully that intermarriage between the two countries has been a normal diplomacy since ancient times, and marrying the Princess of Nanyue was a good way.

The emperor began to think that the Princess of Nanyue would marry her son, preferably the future crown prince. After all, the Princess of Nanyue is noble and Xiao Shen only has such a daughter, so he naturally loved her. However, the emperor thought that if the Princess of Nanyue married into the Great Zhou Dynasty, she would definitely not be at ease. It was precisely because of Nanyue's favor for her that the emperor was worried that she would disturb the harem. After all, the emperor knew deeply how important it was to marry a reliable and virtuous queen.

It is good to be a princess in Nanyue, but it is not suitable to stay in the harem.

The emperor thought of Wei Congxi. The Northwest Army was gone. Wei Congxi was just a tiger without teeth. He could not do anything. Even if he had any small thoughts, he could not make any big waves.

But it is different to marry the Princess of Nanyue. If he colludes with Nanyue to cause trouble, it will be a disaster.

The emperor had to be on guard.

Wei Congxi had already restrained his emotions at this time. He looked up and looked at the emperor with complicated eyes: "Can I not answer?"

The emperor shook his head: "No."

Chen Ming was worried about Wei Congxi, afraid that he would do something impulsively. Compared to taking revenge, Chen Ming still hoped that Wei Congxi could live well, after all, he was the only queen of the Wei family.

The hall is surrounded by masters. As long as Wei Congxi has a strange intention, those people will kill him without hesitation.

Wei Congxi sighed and said, "It is false to say that he does not hate him. When I first went to Yuanshan Town, I thought about revenge every day."

The emperor's face was gloomy, but he did not interrupt him, but asked him to continue talking.

Wei Congxi said again: "Shi Luo scolds me every day, calling me a waste, saying that I'm better than dead than to live."

Wei Congxi's voice trembled a little, obviously thinking of the unpleasant experience. He paused and said, "I hated her at first and wanted to kill her immediately, but later, as time passed, I also figured it out, and Shi Luo woke me up."

Wei Congxi's expression became more comfortable: "Shi Luo said, it's better to be happy every day. Instead of indulging in hatred every day, it's better to think about something happy. I didn't understand what she said at first, but I figured it out until she died. Instead of living in pain, it's better to live happily, which is also a comfort to the dead."

After saying that, he looked at the emperor sincerely: "When I first came back to Lanjing to see Your Majesty, I thought I could not help but want to do something, but gradually, Your Majesty was so kind to me, and I made me a marquis and did things for me, I..."

Wei Congxi paused and said, "I am very conflicted about Your Majesty. Your Majesty treats me like a king or a father, but Your Majesty also issued an order to kill my family. I respect you, but I hate you."

The emperor didn't expect that he thought so in his heart. Thinking of the past, he was really good to Wei Congxi, even better than his son. He thought he hated him, but he didn't expect that Wei Congxi had such a contradictory idea. After a moment of surprise, he understood.

He patted Wei Congxi on the shoulder: "Ziqing...

Wei Congxi said again: "Your Majesty, Shi Luo has died. She has been with me for three years. The woman who shares the joys and sorrows with me has died. Even if there were so many bad things in her life in the past, when she died, all I thought of was her goodness. After all, I am sorry for her. Without me, she will not die. It is because I did not take good care of her..."

Wei Congxi swallowed even more: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Nanyue is so similar to her. I can't overcome the obstacles in my heart..."

"I would like to help you, I don't want the position of a marquis, I just want to be with the princess, even if I go back to Yuanshan Town to be a rural couple!"

Wei Congxi was sincere and the emperor couldn't help but be moved, but his eyes were staring at Wei Congxi, as if he could see into his heart.

After a while of silence, the emperor said, "But Xiao Shen absolutely does not like your identity."

Wei Congxi was stunned, his eyes dimmed a little, and then he said firmly: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Nanyue to ask the Emperor of Nanyue in person."

The emperor looked up: "Go to Nanyue?"

Wei Congxi nodded: "I have already thought about it. I am in love with the princess. Even if the emperor of Nanyue does not agree, I will go to ask him personally. Even if it fails, I will not have any regrets."

The emperor didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time he waved his hand and said, "You go down."

I didn't say I agreed or disagree.

After Wei Congxi left, the emperor leaned on the dragon throne, his face dark and his eyes were dull.

Chen Ming served him carefully and didn't dare to say a word. Wei Congxi's acting skills were perfect, and Chen Ming also understood the emperor. The emperor did not like others to go around and be foolish with him. He was very conceited and thought he could control everyone.
