Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, it was Old Man Jian who spoke first. He put down the cup in his hand and asked seriously, “Are you telling the truth? Are you being sincere?”
Ming Zhiyan nodded his head solemnly. “If I’m lying to you, then may the heavens strike with lightning.”
Mother Jian’s face was tense, and her mood was a little complicated. “You don’t have to make such a vow. I know my daughter. She must like you, that’s why she’s with you. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’re the Minister of Revenue and the Emperor’s nephew. Do you really not care about what others thought of you? It’s normal to be impulsive when you’re young, thinking that love is more important than anything else. By the ti the Emperor gives an order, or after a few years, wherever you go, people will look at you with strange eyes, living in the contempt of others all day long. At that ti, you may regret today’s decision. Love and love pass quickly, leaving only resentnt.”
“Auntie, I don’t agree with you,” Ming Zhiyan imdiately said. “My status has nothing to do with what I do. If it weren’t for , wouldn’t other n have this idea if they married into the family? It’s hard to fathom a human’s heart, and you never know what people are thinking. At least you know . You should know what kind of personality I have. These are all decisions I made after careful consideration. Although you may not believe when I promise to love Qingqing for the rest of my life, I will use my actions to prove it to you. I promise that I will never hurt Qingqing, so please give a chance to stay by Qingqing’s side.”
This ti, Mother Jian had nothing to say. To be honest, Ming Zhiyan was the most outstanding young man she had ever co into contact with. He knew how to be polite and was very steady in his bearing. Besides his high status, he had no other shortcomings.
Father Jian stared at him for a long ti and suddenly asked, “Are you going to live here after your wedding?”
“Of course,” Ming Zhiyan replied without any hesitation.
This ti, Father Jian was satisfied.
The adults looked at each other. Finally, Old Man Jian coughed and said, “Okay, we’ll believe you this ti. We agree to this. I hope you won’t let us down.”
Ming Zhiyan was overjoyed. He knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, then said solemnly, “I won’t let Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie down!”
With the Jian family’s approval, Ming Zhiyan was very excited. He left the princess’s Manor and imdiately rode to the palace.
When the Emperor saw him, he asked with a face full of love, “What’s wrong, Zhiyan? Do you have sothing to tell ?”
In private, the Emperor had always been an affable middle-aged man.
Ming Zhiyan nodded and suddenly threw out a bolt of lightning. “Your Majesty,
I’m here to request an Imperial edict.”
The Emperor was shocked by this sudden Thunder and didn’t co back to his senses for a long ti. He wondered if there was sothing wrong with his ears. Otherwise, why would he hear such an outrageous thing?
After a long ti, he asked in disbelief, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear wrong, did I? What did you say you wanted?”
“The Imperial edict of marriage,” Ming Zhiyan repeated.
This ti, the Emperor had heard it clearly. However, it was because he had heard it clearly that he was even more shocked. His mouth was slightly agape and could not close for a long ti.
After a long ti, he asked in a trembling voice, “I wonder which family’s young lady is she…”
He was finally able to subdue this hard lump in his heart..
