Forced to Marry the Enemy Prince - Chapter 58

Zhan Lue glanced at her. “What did she say?”

“She kept saying things that made me unhappy. How annoying.”

“She’s not someone like that.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m from Liang.” Xian Sheng complained to Zhan Lue persistently, “Anyway, I think that she doesn’t like me, so I don’t like her anymore. I won’t help her join the military. You must not agree to her request.”

Zhan Lue looked thoughtful.

Xian Sheng knew where to stop and stayed silent afterwards.

At the temple, the government officials had already arrived, standing in orderly rows. When Prime Minister Qiu looked at the overhead sun, he said, “It’s about time.”

Imperial Tutor Qi narrowed his eyes. “Have they come?”

“Where?” The Prime Minister, who did not know martial arts, stood on his tiptoes and stretched his head out to look. The Imperial Tutor raised his chin. “They are in front. Try standing on your tiptoes. Right. Can you see them?”

“No.” The old Prime Minister frowned and continued peering forward. The general beside him was an honest person, so he coughed and said, “You can hear the wheels of their carriages. They should appear soon.”

The Prime Minister, who did not know martial arts, shouted at the Imperial Tutor angrily. “You are so mean!”

He pretended like nothing happened and said, “Look. They are really here.”

The royal family arrived extravagantly and they reached them quickly. The officials knelt and exclaimed, “Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!”

Emperor Jin lifted his hand and said casually, “You may rise.”

He turned around and saw Zhan Lue following behind. He said, “Where’s the Crown Princess? She’s the main character as she’s going to be added to the family records. Don’t follow me. Follow her instead.”

Zhan Lue was confused.

He looked at his brothers standing beside him, who all looked away. In the past, the sons would always follow the Emperor, while the daughters followed the Empress. Why was the Emperor chasing him away all of a sudden?

Emperor Jin waved his hand and said, “Stop looking. Go quickly.”

Zhan Lue bowed and retreated. Emperor Jin took a step forward and said to the Imperial Tutor, “You old man. Look carefully and I’ll show you how a perfect couple looks.”

The Imperial Tutor chuckled. His son had married the most beautiful woman in the capital. Many suitors had tried to seek her hand in marriage, and even the Third Royal Prince when he tried to court her. Now, Emperor Jin was trying to beat him with Zhan Lue, the Crown Prince’s marriage. No matter what, the Imperial Tutor was content with the fact that Emperor Jin did not manage to get his daughter-in-law.

Prime Minister Qiu glanced at him. “His Majesty’s taste has always been good. If he says that they are a perfect couple, it must be true.”

The military general had been an official for a long time and knew that he should not debate with the scholars.

However, the Imperial Tutor was calm. “We can see for ourselves later.”

The military general added, “Ah Qin said that he had seen the Crown Princess before. She’s a classic beauty and is a rare gem in the country.”

This made Prime Minister Qiu feel slightly happier. His son also agreed, “I heard Ah Qin say that too. It’s such a rare chance for us to meet her. We should open our eyes wide and take a good look.”

The son of the Qi Family looked emotionless. The Qi Family was very proud and they naturally had to marry the best wives. Although his father did not know that, he knew very well that his wife was actually waiting for Zhan Lue to seek her hand in marriage. However, Zhan Lue never visited her. The son courted her for a long time before succeeding.

He treated Zhan Lue as his love rival. When he got drunk in the brothel, he could not help but show-off and provoke Zhan Lue. However, Zhan Lue said that he never even cared about the so-called ‘First Beauty of the Capital’. In fact, Zhan Lue was so nonchalant that it was like he only married nothing more than a fart, causing him to become furious.

Hence, he wanted to see if this princess, whom Zhan Lue exchanged ten cities for, was really worth it. If she looked average, Zhan Lue would really lose his face as the Crown Prince of Jin.

Xian Shen knew that the nobles in the Southern nations were very extravagant. However, he had no idea how materialistic the Northern nations were. Naturally, he did not know that he was used as bragging capital by the most materialistic family in the nation. When he saw Zhan Lue walk towards him, he was still confused. “Aren’t you following the Emperor?”

“You are the main character,” replied Zhan Lue calmly. However, he adjusted his collar silently, as if… he was about to go on stage to display something.
