”But father, I have already …” Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to explain, but the Emperor stopped him with a cold voice.
”No need to speak further, this time father is not looking for you to discuss, but to order you to marry the Princess Wen Yahan of Soaring Wind Kingdom. Since she wanted to marry you by name, father has also agreed to it, don't tell me you want to embarrass father? Moreover, you can marry someone else, but can't you tolerate this one? ” The Emperor frowned as he spoke.
”father, this time, your son will not agree to it. This time, I will definitely not marry Princess Soaring Wind Kingdom.” Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a face full of determination, but his eyes also carried stubbornness.
The emperor originally wanted to be angry, but in order to achieve his goal, he sighed lightly and said, ”How about this, father will give you a few more days to think about it. The Emperor's words were obviously hinting that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to marry the Soaring Wind Kingdom princess, Wen Yahan.
”father, I don't need to think about it. I won't marry her.” Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was extremely resolute.
The emperor sighed and said, ”You should think about it.” After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Zhiling still wanted to say something but the emperor instructed the Eunuch Li to send him back to the Duke Palaces.
”Fourth King, let's go.” When he said those words, he was looking at Xuanyuan Zhiling with a helpless expression.
Xuanyuan Zhiling let out a cold sigh and followed Eunuch Li out of the imperial study.
”Fourth King, although this old servant does not have the qualifications, I still want to advise you. Please consider the words of the Emperor.” Eunuch Li earnestly advised Xuanyuan Zhiling.
However, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not say a word along the way, he only looked at the road with a gloomy expression.
Inside the Duke Palaces, Qin Feng was waiting for Xuanyuan Zhiling to come back for dinner. Ever since they had made up, Qin Feng had eaten every meal with Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Princess, the prince has returned from the palace.” The young maid said with a joyful expression as she entered the room.
Hearing that, Qin Feng stood up and was about to go out to welcome Xuanyuan Zhiling, but just as she walked to the door, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already stepped into the hall, and thus Qin Feng revealed a bright smile: ”You're back, I'm waiting for you to eat dinner with me.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly: ”Eat it yourself, I'll be going to my room to rest.” Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression slightly darkened, and walked into the room without even giving Qin Feng a glance.
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's back, Qin Feng gently furrowed her brows, as she realized that Xuanyuan Zhiling seemed to have encountered an unhappy matter while entering the palace.
”Princess, what happened to the prince?” Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's unhappy look, Qin Chen asked worriedly.
Qin Feng sighed softly. Without saying anything, he went straight back to her room.
”What happened?” Qin Feng walked into the room and saw Xuanyuan Zhiling sitting at the table with a dark face. There was a jug of wine on the table and Xuanyuan Zhiling would occasionally raise his head and drink a cup.
Xuanyuan Zhiling did not speak, and only lowered his head and drank. Qin Feng sat beside Xuanyuan Zhiling, and stopped the wine cup that Xuanyuan Zhiling was raising. Xuanyuan Zhiling was stunned, his eyes looking at Qin Feng's face with complex emotions.
”Qin Feng, if there comes a day when I break the oath I made to you earlier, what will happen to you?” Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression as he said this.
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled faintly: ”You've sworn too many times to me, which one are you talking about?” Qin Feng said with a slight smile on her face.
Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly when he heard this: ”You're right too, I'm not even a qualified husband.” When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, the corners of his mouth hooked up into a bitter smile.
”What happened?” Qin Feng realized that the matter was not as simple as she had imagined.
Xuanyuan Zhiling shook his head and said: ”Forget it, I will not say anymore, but Qin Feng …” Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a bit of hesitation.
”But Qin Feng, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side.” As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he pulled Qin Feng into his embrace, and felt her warmth. He didn't know how much longer this feeling would last. If Qin Feng knew that she was really going to marry another woman, perhaps she might really decide to leave him.
”Tell me what happened.” Qin Feng leaned on Xuanyuan Zhiling's shoulder and asked.
Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly and helped Qin Feng up from her shoulder. He took a deep breath and said: ”If I were to marry another woman, what would happen to you?”
