Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 284: A Lifetime_1

"Our princess hurt her voice, this is her kowtowing to thank Your Majesty." Li Zhijie smiled apologetically at the Emperor. "I hope Your Majesty will forgive her."

"Your Majesty..." Lady Qiu sweetly whispered to the Emperor, "Today you have granted Crown Prince a good marriage. King Liang is also your son, and it is because of King Liang that I have this relationship with Your Majesty. If we cannot repay King Liang’s favor, I will feel uneasy. Why don’t you, while everyone is happy today, bestow a good marriage between King Liang and Commandery Princess Zhen?"

The Emperor of Yan, Murong Yu, who was seated by the side holding a wine cup, felt his heart skip a beat and subconsciously looked at his brother Xiao Rongyan.

The envoy of Daliang did not hear the whispers between Lady Qiu and the Emperor. He only saw the Emperor in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, our Daliang also wishes to form an alliance through marriage with the Jin Kingdom, to seek the hand of the first beauty of Jin Kingdom, Princess of Nandu, as the main consort for our Fourth Prince."

Lu Baohua smiled and nudged Liu Ruofu with her elbow. Liu Ruofu bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Wei Qiheng, only to see Wei Qiheng staring intently at Bai Qingyan. Liu Ruofu’s face immediately fell.

"I have heard that the Emperor of Yan also intends to seek marriage for the Ninth Prince of Yan?" The Emperor smiled at the Emperor of Yan. "If you already have someone in mind, why don’t you say it now, so that we can form another good marriage during my birthday banquet?"

Murong Yu nodded slightly, dignified and elegant. "Originally, I wanted to seek the hand of the Lord of Gaoyi for my Ninth Brother, but I felt that the age difference between my Ninth Brother and the Lord of Gaoyi was too great."

Murong Yu looked at Bai Qingyan. "Later, I wanted to seek the hand of Commandery Princess Zhen for my Ninth Brother, but I learned that Commandery Princess Zhen had vowed not to marry, so I intended to seek the hand of Princess of Nandu for him instead. Who would have thought that just last night, I heard that the Fourth Prince of Daliang is seeking the hand of Princess of Nandu and has vowed never to take a side consort or concubine. Knowing that my brother could not make such a promise, I gave up the idea. If in the future, my Ninth Brother is fortunate enough to come to Jin and meet a woman he loves, I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Wei Qiheng stood up upon hearing this and thanked the Emperor of Yan. "Thank you, Emperor Yan, for your graciousness."

Lu Baohua covered her lips with her fan and whispered, "I never imagined that the Emperor of Yan could be so handsome and so noble and elegant. He is truly the most handsome man in the world! Since the Ninth Prince of Yan and the Emperor of Yan are siblings, he can’t be too different. Would you consider it?"

"My father has already agreed to the Fourth Prince of Daliang! Besides..." Liu Ruofu pursed her lips. "Yan is a poor and weak country; wouldn’t I suffer if I go there?"

Wei Qiheng turned and saw Bai Qingyan sitting calmly, unmoved. He walked towards Bai Qingyan.

Liu Ruofu widened her eyes in disbelief.

Wei Qiheng took off the jade pendant from his waist and respectfully handed it to Bai Qingyan. "Commandery Princess, I am Wei Qiheng, the Fourth Prince of Daliang. Yesterday at Taoyin Lake, I saw you from afar and fell deeply in love. I wish to marry you as my main consort. I have sworn to King Xian and His Majesty that in this life, I will have only you as my wife and will never take any side consort or concubine. I only wish to be with you for the rest of my life."

Xiao Rongyan’s hand gripped the wine cup tightly, and he looked up in Bai Qingyan’s direction.

Bai Qingyan was quite surprised. Wasn’t it said that the Fourth Prince of Daliang sought the hand of Princess of Nandu, Liu Ruofu? She turned to look at Liu Ruofu.
