The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Xiao Wanyue was also a little confused. What did this person mean? If he said this, wouldn't his parents misunderstand that there was something unusual between them?

Did he say this on purpose? She originally thought that this man had changed his mind, but she didn't expect that he wanted to make this matter clear now.

She didn't know what would happen if her parents knew about this. Would they beat this guy up? But she knew that her parents and brother doted on her very much. Although she would be scolded, someone else might be beaten?

However, his current identity is the emperor, and he doesn't know whether her parents still dare to fight.

Seeing that her parents looked confused, as if they had thought of something, it was better for her to remain silent.

As expected, Xiao Zheng was the first to get restless. "Your Majesty, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Lin Jingya: "Yes, Your Majesty, you came here with Yue'er. How can you say that? The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion is Yue'er's home."

Xiao Lingqing understood, after all, they had reached an agreement at that time, but he was a little confused as to why the emperor changed his mind. Didn’t he say that he would bring Yue’er back to the palace and return to Prince Zhennan’s Mansion in a few days?

When he saw his parents coming at the city gate, he was a little confused. He clearly did not inform his parents, so why were they waiting for them there? Now everything made sense. It was the emperor who sent someone to inform his parents.

He Jingming: "I came back with Yue'er. She will be my wife and the queen of Da Chu."

Xiao Zheng, Xiao Lingqing, and Lin Jingya were stunned, and had not yet recovered from the shocking words they had just heard. What did they hear? The emperor wanted to marry their daughter?

Seeing her parents so surprised, Xiao Wanyue was speechless. How could this person be like this? This was too direct. Her parents would definitely not agree. She just had to wait for her parents to refuse.

He Jingming looked at them with a firm and sincere gaze. He had already made up his mind to marry no one but you. No one could shake his resolve. Now that the court was stable and he had absolute say, he could still decide who would be his wife, his queen.

He would give them some time to consider it, and believed that they would not refuse.

Xiao Zheng and Lin Jingya looked at each other and then separated. They both knew what the other meant. They didn't want their daughter to enter the palace. Their daughter had just returned, so how could they bear to be separated from her again? They also had to compensate their daughter well, so how could they let her get married, and at that, marry the king of a country.

He was the king of a country. Having three thousand beauties in the harem was something that every king could not avoid, even the late emperor could not avoid it. Wasn't that what happened to Queen Zheng and the late emperor?

They were determined not to let their daughter follow in Queen Zheng's footsteps.

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I miss my daughter so much. It's not easy for her to return now. I really can't bear to have her separated from us. Moreover, my daughter's personality is not suitable for living in the palace. Your Majesty is so outstanding and there are so many beauties in the world. I believe that Your Majesty will find a woman who shares your heart to be your wife. I am not destined to be with you."

He Jingming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Prince Zhennan was unwilling to let his daughter marry him, and he was talking about the position of queen.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was true. Everyone in the Xiao family was overjoyed at Xiao Wanyue's return. It was impossible for him to marry their daughter now. After all, his family was reunited, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to propose marriage at this time.

But even so, he couldn't give up.

He Jingming: "Uncle, you misunderstood me. I didn't say we should get married now. I wanted to make an engagement first. If you agree, we can hold the wedding."

He looked at the Xiao family's reactions again. It seemed that his performance was not sincere. He continued, "I promise to marry Yue'er and only Yue'er in this life. I will never marry another woman. I will only drink from one of the three thousand rivers. Heaven and earth are my witnesses. If I break this oath..."

Before He Jingming could finish his words, Xiao Wanyue covered his mouth. He Jingming looked at Xiao Wanyue with joy.

Xiao Wanyue felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable when she heard him say that. On impulse, she covered his hand with hers.

After she had done all this, she realized that whether she was a love-brained person or not, his oath had nothing to do with her and was unnecessary.

Suddenly I remembered those TV dramas in the past where the scholar and the rich girl made a promise to marry the rich girl after they graduated from high school. The oath they made came true one by one. The unfaithful man failed in his plan and the rich girl married another man. The ending was very satisfying.

Isn't this just too stupid? Alas.

When Xiao Wanyue saw the looks everyone gave her, she thought that her love-brained nature was confirmed, and she hoped her parents wouldn't think too much of it.

"Well, he is the king of a country after all. If he breaks his oath, then I can only blame him. Haha, don't you agree?"

Xiao Zheng: "Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about? What's gone? That's the emperor."

Xiao Wanyue: "I know." She pursed her lips. What's the big deal? The emperor can't really live forever. Life is only a hundred years.

Xiao Zheng glared at Xiao Wanyue, then looked at the emperor and said, "Haha, Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. She's just talking nonsense."

He Jingming: "Well, I know. Uncle, you don't have to be so cautious. It's true. Life is unpredictable and nothing can be predicted. We can only seize the present moment."

Xiao Zheng: "Yes, yes, the emperor is very broad-minded."

He Jingming: "Uncle, what do you think of that proposal just now? I have already made up my mind to marry Yue'er."

Xiao Lingqing: "Your Majesty, you must marry Yue'er, but your identity is destined to bring many dangers. Aren't you going too far? Yue'er is still young, and I don't want her to encounter any danger."

Xiao Zheng: "Yes, you know how powerful the palace is. We really don't want Yue'er to take any risks."

Xiao Wanyue: "Yes, it's very good in the palace. I am very free and can do whatever I want. I am used to freedom and don't like being restricted by others. Your Majesty, why don't you consider the selection of talents? What if you fall in love with someone?"

He Jingming became even angrier when he heard this. Freedom and restraint, is this what it feels like to be with him? He didn't think so. On the contrary, he felt very happy. Life was meaningful only with Xiao Wanyue, and he couldn't live without her.

And seeing her unwilling look made me feel uncomfortable.

If she continues like this, the golden house in Qin'an Palace will not be far away from her.

He Jingming's face became darker and darker, and it seemed like he was about to explode. Xiao Wanyue didn't dare to say anything more, as she was afraid that this man would go crazy immediately.

She looked at him awkwardly without saying anything else.

He Jingming still felt uncomfortable when he saw that Xiao Wanyue didn't say anything else. Anyone could not believe him, but Xiao Wanyue could not.

He asked, "Yue'er, don't you believe me? What will it take for you to marry me?"

Xiao Wanyue: "Can I trust you? People say that the love of an emperor is the cheapest, like charity, illusory. After all, this is a major event in my life, I have to consider it carefully, do you understand?"

Xiao Wanyue spoke to him earnestly, hoping he could understand that he might not be able to give her what she wanted. She was not the heroine and did not have any aura of a heroine. Could he do that for her?

He Jingming: "Yue'er, as long as you tell me, I will agree to it."

He Jingming stubbornly wanted to get an answer, his eyes fixed on Xiao Wanyue.

Everyone in the Xiao family looked at He Jingming and Xiao Wanyue. They didn't care what the emperor would do. What they cared about was what Xiao Wanyue thought. No matter what, as long as it was Xiao Wanyue's idea, they would support it.

Xiao Wanyue looked directly at the man in front of her. Seeing how persistent he was, she felt that she should give him a chance.
