Wei Yao frowned at him, the faint scent of bamboo mixed with the aroma of wine from his body filled her nostrils. At this mont, she felt incredibly conflicted and aggrieved, he actually said he was disappointed!
Seeing Wei Yao’s eyes gradually turning red, Qi Jingyi finally sighed, "No one will make you a concubine."
Wei Yao’s tears suddenly fell.
"Silly girl." Qi Jingyi reached out and pulled her into his arms, "If I really wanted to take a concubine, I wouldn’t choose you."
Wei Yao struggled to get away.
"Don’t move." Qi Jingyi held her even tighter, "Otherwise, you bear the consequences."
Wei Yao indeed didn’t dare to move, she could only lean on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, inexplicably feeling reassured, but her reason still held, "Do you an you want as your wife, or as an outside lover?"
Qi Jingyi suddenly sighed, released her, turned around, and took the jade pendant from the table, hanging it around her neck, "You should see the material of this jade pendant, it’s not the finest chicken blood jade, but to , it is the most precious because it was my mother’s relic. It was left by my maternal grandfather to my mother and was ant to be passed on to the daughter-in-law."
Wei Yao could not hide the astonishnt on her face, "You an..."
"As long as you feel the sa about , you’ll be my legitimate wife, and in the future, you’ll beco the rightful Princess Yi, complete with an Imperial Edict, and recorded in the Imperial Jade Edict. Now, let tell you about my situation first." Qi Jingyi smiled slightly, instead of hugging her, he held and played with one of her hands, "In my residence, there are only two attendants. They were chosen by the forr Empress to serve since childhood and even saved my life once. After I beca an adult, I kept them in the house. However, if you beco the Princess, you can keep them if you find it appropriate, or give them so silver and find them a good match if you don’t..."
"Of course, there’s one more thing, as you said, our identities are sowhat different, so marrying you will require overcoming so obstacles, you might even face difficulties from others. I want to ask if you’re willing to face them with ?"
Wei Yao closed her eyes, slowly digesting his words, and after a long ti, when she opened them again, her gaze was resolute, "I am willing."
"Really?" Qi Jingyi’s eyes imdiately lit up.
"Of course." Wei Yao nodded, "You don’t mind my background, why would I refuse a wealthy and handso man like you?"
"Wealthy and handso? Haha, Xinxin’s words."
Wei Yao nodded, "Xinxin said all of you Princes are typically wealthy and handso."
"As long as you know." Qi Jingyi laughed, then pointed to the jade pendant, "Don’t ever take this off again, otherwise you’ll be disrespecting the Imperial Family."
"If you scare , I might return it." Wei Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.
"My mistake."
"Haha, don’t worry. Unless you ask for it back, I won’t take it off, even when sleeping or bathing." Wei Yao tucked the jade pendant inside her clothes, suddenly feeling a bit worried, "But, will the Emperor agree?"
"With the Crown Prince and Xinxin’s help, I think there won’t be any problem." Qi Jingyi was quite optimistic, "Just wait to beco my Princess." He released her, "I’ll head back now, don’t let your mind wander too much. If anything, co to the Baoyue Building to find ." Although he was reluctant, they weren’t married yet, so he still had to consider her reputation.
