A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Ye Linglong didn't expect Chu Xingluo to be married, but when she thought about it, how could such an outstanding man not have a wife? Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she quickly accepted it. "No, I came to Beiyue just to marry Chu Xingluo, and you Beiyue have already accepted my dowry. It would be unreasonable to refuse, right?"

Emperor Ying was stunned. "I took your dowry, how come I didn't know about it?"

"The three cities of Xiling Kingdom! Does Your Majesty know now?" Ye Linglong glanced at the ministers.

Emperor Ying laughed angrily: "Those three cities were clearly ceded by you in exchange for peace because you didn't want to continue the war. How come they became your dowry?"

The ministers were also talking about it.

"Your Majesty, if you do not agree, Xiling Kingdom will take back the three cities." Ye Linglong looked directly into Emperor Ying's eyes. She had no choice. If she wanted to marry Chu Xingluo, she only had this bargaining chip.

Emperor Ying was somewhat displeased: "So, you will not marry anyone but Prince Jing?" He did not expect that Ye Linglong would actually threaten him with the city.

"Yes, I, Ye Linglong, will not marry anyone but Chu Xingluo!" Ye Linglong said in a firm tone.

After all, this was the emperor's family affair, and the ministers could not give any opinions. However, some ministers felt that it would be a pity to give up the three cities after all the hard work, so they all hoped that the emperor would agree. It was just to let Prince Jing marry another wife, so it would not be a loss anyway.

Emperor Ying also had his considerations. Looking at Ye Linglong's attitude, if he didn't agree, Xiling State would take back the city, and then there would be another war. By then, Xiling State would definitely fight to the death, either taking back the city or perishing. He didn't want to see such an outcome, because no matter which outcome, it would be exchanged for the death of countless soldiers from both countries.

Besides, he had long wanted to find concubines for Prince Huai and Prince Xiang, so he could also find one for the third son. Just like Wei Zhiying, she would be the principal concubine. In this way, Wei Mingcheng would not have any objection. After all, she is a princess, and she is on an equal footing with your Prime Minister's daughter. It would not be considered an insult to your daughter.

He looked at Ye Linglong and said, "It's not enough for me to agree to this. I also need to ask the third brother for his opinion."

Ye Linglong was overjoyed when she heard this. If the emperor agreed, then Chu Xingluo was not afraid that he would not agree!

There was nothing else to do, so the ministers withdrew from the court and Emperor Ying ordered people to settle Ye Linglong and her maids and attendants.

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

The first thing Chu Xinghai did when he returned home was to see Ye Yiyi.

When the maids saw him coming, they took Fu Mo and hid away. They still remembered what he said last time to kill them. Seeing him come back safely, Ye Yiyi finally let go of her worries. Chu Xinghai held her in his arms and said gently, "Yiyi, let's live a good life in the future. I will never think about the position of the crown prince again. I just want to be with you."

Ye Yiyi didn't expect that he would have such a change. His ambitions, his plans, and everything he did for that position, could he really just let go of them?

Seeing her confusion, Chu Xinghai told her everything he saw on the battlefield.

"I originally thought that if I performed well in this expedition, I could still compete for the position of crown prince, but every day when I saw the bloody corpses piled up together, I couldn't help but vomit. I couldn't help but feel sad when I thought that they might be sons, husbands, or fathers. A person's life is so short, what is the most important thing? Every night when I calm down and close my eyes, you are the only thing I can see. I asked myself, if I had to choose between the position of crown prince and Yiyi, which one would I choose? At that time, I had only one thought in my heart, that is you, Yiyi, I just want to be with you. I used to be a bastard, and I almost lost you for something that I couldn't see or touch. Every time I think of this, I get scared. Fortunately, God has mercy on me and you are still here!"

Ye Yiyi burst into tears when she heard this. She never let him go! She slowly said, "If what you said is true, I will give you another chance."

The two of them confessed their true feelings to each other, and then Chu Xinghai told the story of Xia Taoyuan blocking an arrow for Chu Xingluo.

"What? Zhiying went to the battlefield. When did it happen? How is she now?" Ye Yiyi was extremely worried.

Chu Xinghai comforted him, "It's all right now. They will be back in a few days."

Three days later, Chu Xingluo, Xia Taoyuan and their companions returned to Yunjun City.

After Chu Xingluo settled Xia Taoyuan, he went to Xiao Feng's residence first and listened to Xiao Feng's story about the past few months. Finally, Xiao Feng said that Ye Linglong from Xiling also came to Beiyue and said she wanted to marry him. Chu Xingluo's face flashed with disgust when he heard this, but soon he returned to his cold look.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Feng, Chu Xingluo went straight to the palace. He met Emperor Ying and told him about the battles and casualties in Lion City over the past few months.

After listening to him, Emperor Ying asked about Xia Taoyuan's situation and consoled her. Then he changed the subject: "This time, Xiling Kingdom gave us three cities as compensation, but there is a condition that their princess Ye Linglong must marry you..."

"Father, I don't want to do this!" Chu Xingluo interrupted Emperor Ying, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"As a father, I understand your deep affection for Wei Zhiying. But if you don't agree, they will start a war. Although our losses this time are less than theirs, we have also lost thousands of soldiers. I really don't want another war and casualties. So, as an emperor, I hope you can agree!" Emperor Ying emphasized his tone.

Chu Xingluo didn't say anything. He didn't want to make Emperor Ying angry just after returning.

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. Your Highness Prince Rongjing should take a few days to consider it!" said the eunuch.

"Your son will take his leave!" Without waiting for Emperor Ying to say anything else, Chu Xingluo turned around and left the imperial study.

After leaving the palace, Long Yan saw Chu Xingluo with a dark face and asked what happened. Chu Xingluo said that Ye Linglong came to Beiyue.

"Why is she here?" Qingyun was puzzled.

Looking at Chu Xingluo's expression, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then thinking of Ye Linglong's daily provocations when they were in Lion City, Long Yan looked as if he understood everything.

"Do you know?" Qingyun asked him when he saw Long Yan like this.

"When she saw that Your Highness was handsome and elegant, she became attracted to him and came to Yunjun City to marry him." Long Yan joked.

Chu Xingluo ignored them and got on the carriage.

"What? That witch wants to marry Your Highness? I don't agree! The princess won't agree either! If Your Highness marries that witch, I will sever my ties with her and follow the princess from now on!" Qingyun raised his voice, fearing that Chu Xingluo in the carriage couldn't hear him.

Long Yan glanced at him, raised his whip, shouted "Go~" and ran towards Prince Jing's Mansion.

When they arrived at the palace, Chu Xingluo told the two not to talk nonsense, and told them to get ready and go to Taotao Garden later, and then returned to his room.

"You're back so soon! I thought it would be evening!" Xia Taoyuan walked up to him with a smile.

Chu Xingluo raised his eyes to look at Xia Taoyuan, and a smile instantly appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "I'll pack up, and we'll go to Taoyuan later. I'm afraid that many people will come to visit you in the next few days, which will disturb your rest and you won't be able to have peace. Come back after you have recuperated for some time." He really thought so. Everyone knew that they were back, and they also knew that Xia Taoyuan was shot by an arrow. People from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion would definitely come to visit, as well as the King of the South, the Princess of Xiang, the Princess of Huai, and others.

Of course, there is one more thing. He heard from Xiao Feng that Ye Linglong said she wanted to marry him in front of all the ministers in the court, and it must have spread outside. He was afraid that someone would let it slip and affect Xia Taoyuan's mood. If possible, he wanted to keep it a secret. He didn't want his Taotao to know about it, and he didn't want his Taotao to be unhappy.
