After the prime minister figured it out, he volunteered to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Beijing to propose marriage to show our sincerity."

Nan Wanxing looked at him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. I will propose marriage myself."

The Prime Minister seemed to have not expected this answer. He asked in a daze, "Then... who should be sent to Beijing to welcome Princess Xingyao?"

Nan Wanxing blinked and looked at him as if he were a log. "Of course I will go pick up my wife."

The court fell silent again. After a long while, the Prime Minister spoke again: "Your Majesty, this trip takes a lot of time. After all, you are the ruler of a country..."

"I am blessed by the goddess. She has granted me the right to bring people back and forth between the two countries' imperial cities at will during the wedding process. It will only take a blink of an eye and won't take any time."

At this time, a minister said, "Would the goddess be willing to attend your majesty's wedding in person?"

Of course I will come in person, otherwise I will not know who to marry.

Nan Wanxing suppressed the smile in his heart and remained calm on the surface, "It is better not to disturb the goddess's meditation with worldly affairs."

Some sensitive ministers discovered that His Majesty actually called her "Goddess". Hadn't he always called her by her name before?

Could it be that their relationship has become distant?

But this gift...really made them confused.

Only the Prime Minister asked seriously, "But when you ascended the throne, didn't you also invite the goddess to come in person? Isn't that a mundane thing?"

Nan Wanxing seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the ministers and asked, "Do you... want to see the goddess?"

As soon as the words fell, many ministers nodded embarrassedly.

Nan Wanxing took a deep breath, his voice a little cold, "You are not allowed to covet her!"

The ministers were all confused. Why did His Majesty suddenly get angry? It seemed like they hadn't done anything.

They looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."

No matter the reason, it is always right to admit your mistakes.

"Ministry of Revenue! Bring someone to take inventory of my personal property and use it all as a betrothal gift. Make sure to transcribe the gift book as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, you won't keep any?"

Nan Wanxing smiled. Aiqing’s reminder was timely. She took out the jade seal and said, “Put it in the book of rites as well. But make it clear that this item belongs exclusively to Princess Xingyao.”

His Majesty is definitely here to test their hearts today. Who would give away a jade seal at a wedding?

He considered his words, "What about the Phoenix Seal?"

"She and I share the Jade Seal, so there is no need for the Phoenix Seal."

The ministers can already foresee the future of His Majesty...

A minister stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, sometimes a private treasury is necessary."

Nan Wanxing thought about it seriously and said, "There's no need to build a new palace. I can share one with her."

The ministers closed their eyes. This empress was definitely a henpecked woman. There was no way to save her, not at all. The minister who had spoken out to remind her shook his head and stood back in line.

Nan Wanxing's face was full of happiness. "After the gift book is ready, I will go to Beijing with you."

After that, she added, "Everyone, remember to smile happily."

"Yes."

After leaving the court, Nan Wanxing asked Eunuch Wang, "Have someone light up my bedroom a little brighter."

"Yes."

Eunuch Wang saw that His Majesty seemed to be leaving, "Are you planning to go to Beijing?"

Nan Wanxing nodded and handed a letter to Eunuch Wang, "Give it to General Si."

"Yes."

Just as he was about to leave, a man came over. It was the national teacher whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"His Majesty."

Nan Wanxing was a little surprised. "Doesn't the Imperial Master rarely show up in public? Why is he here today?"

"Your Majesty, is your wife a goddess?"

Nan Wanxing smiled and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from the Imperial Master."

However, the other party's expression seemed very serious, and he did not look like he was here to bless him. "Your Majesty, as your other side, I want to remind you that those who are involved are often confused."

"What does the Imperial Master mean?"

"Did the goddess and the way of heaven win? Since ancient times, there has never been any record in ancient books that gods and mortals have ever united. Your Majesty is so lucky. Are you the first person in history?"

Nan Wanxing's joyful look gradually faded.

Seeing this, the Imperial Master continued to remind him, "Your Majesty has almost stopped exchanging letters with me recently. As for the specific matters, I am an outsider after all. Some details still need to be sorted out by Your Majesty himself, or... ask the Goddess in person."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, the Imperial Master sighed and said, "The goddess is sincere to you, but she will hide some things because of love. Your Majesty, please jump out of the vicious circle of thinking and take a good look at the current situation."

What the national teacher said made Nan Wanxing sober up a lot. It is because those who are involved are often confused!

She curled her fingers and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master."

When the other party saw that she had calmed down, he bowed and retreated. After all, he only needed to pull out his other side at the critical moment, and she could handle the rest by herself.

Nan Wanxing stood there for a long time before using the energy from the ring to return to Ziyou's door.

As soon as Nan Wanxing entered the room, he looked at Ziyou with complicated eyes.

"What's wrong? Little Star?"

"Will you lie to me?"

"Why do you ask this?" Ziyou's eyes were a little sharp, "Did something happen?"

Nan Wanxing lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, he returned to his original state, "Nothing, just asking."

"Really?" Ziyou looked at her, as if he could see through everything.

Nan Wanxing avoided eye contact, locked his right wrist with a lightning chain, and then looked at the other person's left wrist.

Ziyou saw everything and just went back for a trip, why did the sense of security disappear again?

She was a little irritated, but her tone was as gentle as ever, "Can I hold your hand?"

Nan Wanxing shook his head.

Ziyou didn't want to force her, so she stretched out her right wrist forward.

Looking at the chain on his wrist, good... it's put on again.

She looked at the sky and asked, "Are you planning to stay here tonight?"

Nan Wanxing's eyes wandered around, but she didn't look at her. "I'll go back to my room. Can't this chain be extended infinitely?"

"Yes. Well, you've worked hard all day, go back and rest early."

"OK, good night."

Nan Wanxing turned around and left. She was absent-minded along the way and didn't notice anything wrong around her.

If she paid a little attention, she would find that the distance of the chain was always kept within two steps.

Ziyou followed her invisibly, accompanying her all the way back to her bedroom.

She stopped in the yard only after the other person entered the house.

Compared to before, Xiao Xingxing seems to feel less secure.

How can I make her feel at ease...

The people in the house did not sleep all night.

She sat outside in the yard until dawn.

Noticing that the person inside was about to come out, she revealed herself and pretended to have just arrived, "Good morning, little star."

"Is there something that brings you here so early?"

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Ziyou's tone was a little brisk, "I miss my fiancée, can't I come to see her~"
