Jun Lixuan wants to marry Ling Qiyang?
Jun
Liyuan was astounded.
The
Empress’s jaw dropped.
Even
Emperor Yanxi, who had witnessed the disasters of Heaven and Earth was at a
loss for words.
Emperor
Yanxi pondered in silence for a while and asked, "I've asked you to marry
him in the past. Back then, you would rather sacrifice your position as His
Royal Highness Ling than take him as your spouse. Your rejection left Ling
Qiyang waiting for you for three years. Why do you suddenly wish to marry him
this time?"
No one
understood a son better than his father. The Emperor naturally knew that even
if he were forced, Jun Lixuan would not submit to anything, unless he really
wanted to.
Jun
Lixuan straightened back and said, " I have been alone all these years.
Whenever I see Emperor Father and Empress Mother, brother and his wife, your
deep affection and loving harmony leave my heart green with envy. In the past
three years, I have met Ling Qiyang several times. In the past, his strong
infatuation always seemed burdensome, and the restraint that comes with
marriage deterred me from taking him as my spouse. Hence, I've always remained
indifferent and alienated him."
"To
be honest, I don’t know what happened to my mind these days. But as I was
recuperating from my wounds, it was Ling Qiyang’s face that kept surfacing in
my mind. I had this dream that reminded me that the two of us might be fated.
We met when we were younger, and I saved him from danger. This may be the
reason for his infatuation with me. Alas, I was so ignorant, only recalling our
old childhood stories now, betraying his dedication for so many years."
"Please,
Emperor Father, allow me to make up for my mistakes. I do not want to let him
down again. Please let me take Ling Qiyang as my consort." Jun Lixuan said
solemnly. With the weight of his words, anyone would believe that the Seventh
Prince was wholeheartedly determined to marry Ling Qiyang.
Emperor
Yanxi maintained his silence for a long while. Finally, he sighed and said,
"Get up. Since you are determined, I will fulfil your wish."
"Thank
you, Emperor Father ." Jun Lixuan bowed and thanked the Emperor.
Fortunately,
the plan for Jun Lixuan to marry Count Wangyang's eldest daughter, and the
Sixth prince with Ling Qiyang, was a simple idea between the Emperor, the
Empress and the Third Prince. It was a family matter and unknown to anyone
else. Hence, it was not difficult to revert the decision. Most critically, Jun
Lixuan had found the person he loved and was willing to receive him
wholeheartedly. As the Emperor, he was also satisfied with this marriage. That
was all that mattered.
Three
days later, Count Wangyang's Mansion——
Count
Wangyang, along with the son of his concubine, Ling Qiyang, and his family
knelt to receive the imperial decree.
"In
line with Heavens, the Emperor decreed: Ling Qiyang, son of Count Wangyang, was
born in a noble family. He is courteous and moral, a talent with strong
character. Despite being born to a concubine, I recognise his devotedness and
filial piety. I now appoint Ling Qiyang to His Royal Highness Ling, Jun Lixuan,
as the First Consort. The couple will be married on the 18th of the next
month."
"With
utmost gratitude, we thank the Emperor."
Stiff
in shock, Ling Qiyang accepted the imperial decree. This was too sudden for
him. He knew he should be happy, yet his face was rigid, completely unable to
express any form of joy. Why could he not even wear a subtle smile?
