Chapter 859: I Must Marry Him!

"But Father, I really want to marry him!"

"I must marry him!"

Prince Jin was somewhat incredulous and his anger simmered.

"Do you want to be his concubine?!"

"You are a Commandery Princess! How could you be a concubine for him!"

Hai Feng hesitated.

Indeed! As a Commandery Princess, do I really want to become a concubine?

To vie for a husband with so many women?

This truly wronged me a bit.

But...

Hai Feng reluctantly raised her head.

But I really like him!

Seeing his daughter’s indecision, Prince Jin continued.

"Fengfeng, Father doesn’t understand, we have so many brave samurai in Western Xia, why are you so fixated on those pretty boys?!"

"Father!"

Hai Feng raised her voice slightly, feeling a moment of frustration.

"Father!"

"Please don’t say any more!"

"Let me think carefully!"

Prince Jin was quite furious, not knowing what else to say after being silenced by his daughter, and could only say heavily.

"Think carefully yourself!"

With that, he snorted coldly and stopped speaking!

As the father and daughter spoke in Western Xia language, no one understood what they were saying.

Otherwise, just the term "pretty boys" would cause quite a stir!

Seeing the father and daughter part unhappily.

King Western Xia hurriedly came out to mediate.

"Let’s consider this a misunderstanding, and let it pass, Emperor of Great Chu, what do you think?"

Zhao Junyao saw King Western Xia spoke with some courtesy.

He also smiled and said.

"Of course!"

With that, he waved his hand.

Female singers and dancers took the stage, and the orchestra restarted.

August was the season when sweet osmanthus blooms, and the hall was adorned with freshly cut branches.

The dancers’ flowing sleeves gently fluttered with graceful movements as a faint fragrance floated through the air!

The hall was filled with colored glaze lamps, casting subtle light and shadows, creating a unique ambiance.

The table was adorned with enticing wines and exquisite dishes crafted by the Imperial Kitchen!

The hall was filled with beauty, wine, and gourmet food, captivating everyone!

After rounds of toasting, the atmosphere in the hall became lively once more.

The relationship between the two sides was no longer so strained.

The banquet continued until the end of Hai Hour, when it finally concluded.

As they left, Xia Ruqing was already exhausted.

Zhao Junyao, worried, personally escorted her and stayed at Duanning Palace.

Finally, the dust-clearing banquet passed peacefully.

...

However, outside the palace, the guesthouse was not so harmonious.

Upon leaving the palace, Prince Jin had a look of disappointment.

Once he arrived at his residence, he eagerly began reprimanding the Commandery Princess.

"Fengfeng, you are way out of line, why didn’t you inquire carefully? We didn’t travel all this way to be humiliated!"

"You are throwing away Father’s face!"

Hai Feng was taken aback, knowing she was indeed a bit overboard, so she lowered her head cautiously.

"Father, I didn’t mean to!"

"But, Fengfeng really likes him!"

Prince Jin was fuming.

"But he is the Emperor of Great Chu, Father firmly disagrees!"

"My daughter cannot be someone’s concubine!"

Hai Feng, however, was insistent.

"Father, he is the Emperor of Great Chu! Even if he hasn’t married, would he really marry me as Empress?"

"Father, I don’t care, I just want to marry him!"

Hai Feng finally understood.

He claimed he was already married, but that was simply an excuse!

As a foreign woman, can I really become Empress?!

Speaking of Empress, Hai Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said.

"Father, I also heard..."

She leaned towards Prince Jin’s ear and informed him that the Empress of Great Chu was not in the palace, but had been sent to practice in a temple outside the palace due to a grave mistake.

Hearing this, Prince Jin’s expression relaxed a bit.

"Fengfeng, why didn’t you say this earlier!"

Hai Feng chuckled and said.

"Father, I just remembered now!!"

Prince Jin squinted as he thought, then glared at his daughter again, and solemnly said.

"Even so, it’s not possible! The Great Chu Dynasty’s Emperor seems uninterested in you; Father doesn’t want you to come and be wronged!"

Hai Feng’s heart sank back into an icy pit.

"Oh Father!"

She clung to her Father’s arm, pleading desperately.

"Father, I don’t care, if I can’t marry him, I won’t marry anyone!"

Prince Jin felt very troubled.

"Fengfeng! Don’t be unreasonable!"

"No, I’m not being unreasonable!" Hai Feng continued to plead.

"You...!"

Prince Jin was angry and disappointed.

Just as he was about to reprimand, King Western Xia approached.

"What’s wrong? Cough cough!"

"Fengfeng, causing trouble again?"

He looked lovingly at Hai Feng.

Without his own daughter, he had always treated Hai Feng like his own child.

Witnessing her suffer injustice today, he couldn’t bear it, so he came to check on her!

"Brother!"

"Imperial Uncle!"

Prince Jin bowed his head in respect.

Hai Feng rushed over with open arms.

Having just clung to her Father’s arm, she now turned to hug King Western Xia’s arm, starting to plead.

"Imperial Uncle, Father is scolding me!"

King Western Xia helped Prince Jin up, then affectionately looked at Hai Feng.

"Your father is concerned you’ll suffer!"

"Is that Great Chu Emperor so appealing?!"

Hai Feng bit her lip and lowered her head.

"Yes! Imperial Uncle, you won’t refuse to help me, will you?!"

"Fengfeng really loves him, she must marry!"

Prince Jin was full of frustration.

"Imperial Brother, please help persuade her, she is truly being ridiculous!"

King Western Xia waved his hand.

"No need!"

"Since she loves him, let her marry!"

"Even without an Empress, Fengfeng would still be a consort, not Empress regardless!"

"Fengfeng, you better think this through!"

"That Great Chu Emperor has many women, you’ll feel much grievance!"

Hai Feng’s eyes gleamed.

"I don’t care, I’m not afraid of being wronged, I must marry him, or I won’t marry anyone else."

Prince Jin hesitated again.

"Imperial Brother, this..."

King Western Xia waved his hand, also smiling.

"Fengfeng has grown up, when has she changed her mind on something? Rather than forcibly stopping her, let her learn from experience!"

"When you come back with your head hurt, don’t cry then!"

King Western Xia tapped her forehead.

Hai Feng was delightedly jumping.

"Thank you, Imperial Uncle!"

"My Imperial Uncle loves me most!"

She clung to King Western Xia’s arm and pouted.

Beside them, Prince Jin looked quite upset.

"You..."

"Does Father no longer love you then?"

Hai Feng quickly said.

"Father loves me too!"

Just for a nice word, if I can marry him, I’ll say whatever it takes!

King Western Xia suddenly felt uncomfortable in his body.

He coughed twice, patted Hai Feng’s back, then clutched his chest and left.

Leaving only Prince Jin and his daughter.

"Father, is Imperial Uncle not feeling well again? What illness exactly is it!"

"Perhaps... it’s due to age!"

Prince Jin’s gaze showed a mix of complexity, his ruthless cruelty in his eyes quickly vanished, hidden well.
