In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Seeing that the effect of the medicine was about to end and the envoy still had no intention of leaving the capital, Xu Miao's heart was in turmoil, but she could do nothing now. She could only watch time pass by day by day, and the "allergic" marks on her body gradually disappeared. The emperor attached great importance to Xu Miao's condition, and imperial physicians came to diagnose and treat him every day.

Su Zhizhi saw all of this. As the days passed, Xu Miao's "allergy" was finally cured. Even though she was reluctant, she had to end her recuperation.

But even so, Xu Miao tried his best to stay indoors, for fear of a head-on collision with Sigoya and his group.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xu Miao's anxious look and couldn't help feeling a little worried, but she couldn't help much with this matter.

But I don’t know what Xu Miao was thinking, he still called Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin to his house.

Seeing Su Zhizhi and the other two coming, Xu Miao's eyes revealed a hint of hope, "You are finally here, and those envoys are about to leave."

Seeing Xu Miao like this, Xie Chengjin felt a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, the envoys came here to propose marriage. Without a suitable marriage partner, it's unlikely they'll leave. Your Majesty... can't just send them away, so Your Highness may need to worry for a while longer."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Miao's eyes, but it wasn't something he couldn't accept. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll just wait a little longer. As long as I don't go out, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin exchanged a glance, then sighed slightly and came to Xu Miao's side. "Your Highness, there's no need to worry so much. Perhaps there will be a turning point in this matter."

"I hope so." Xu Miao was worried and smiled weakly at Su Zhizhi.

She really didn't want to get married, leave her hometown and parents, and marry alone in a foreign country. This was something Xu Miao had never dared to imagine.

As time went by, the length of stay of the envoys became shorter and shorter, but what made Sigoya regretful was that after such a long time in the capital, they still could not find a suitable marriage partner. Without the blessing of marriage, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were not particularly stable.

But Sigoya didn't want to delay any longer, so he took the initiative to bid farewell to the emperor. When the envoy left, a banquet would naturally be held. This time, Xu Miao couldn't escape it. The same trick couldn't be used twice. No matter how reluctant Xu Miao was, he had to dress up and attend the envoy's farewell banquet.

At the banquet, Xu Miao minimized his presence, accompanied by Su Zhizhi. However, things did not go as planned. The emperor spotted Xu Miao and called him forward, "Miao'er, come here and let your father see you."

Xu Miao's heart skipped a beat and he stood up reluctantly. Then he suppressed his emotions and walked towards the emperor as usual.

"Your son greets His Majesty and pays his respects." Xu Miao bowed gracefully in the center of the hall, which immediately attracted Sigoya's attention.

Si Geya's eyes were fixed on Xu Miao. Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin also noticed Si Geya's gaze. Su Zhizhi suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Xu Miao could naturally sense an aggressive gaze fixed on him, frightening him so much that he didn't dare to move.

The emperor chuckled, "Is Miao'er feeling better recently?"

Xu Miao came to the emperor's side and smiled at him casually, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine now. The Imperial Hospital should have reported this to Your Majesty. My condition isn't particularly serious, but you've worried about me for so long. That's my fault."

Xu Miao was used to trying to please the emperor, and these words made the emperor feel very comfortable. Sigoya looked at Xu Miao with a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi looked worried. When Xu Miao returned to her side, Su Zhizhi looked at him worriedly.

Xu Miao's hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his eyes were fixed on Sigoya, as if he could stare a hole in Sigoya's body.

Sigoya turned around, flashed a determined smile at Xu Miao, and calmly stood up from his seat. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I couldn't find a girl I liked before, but now I have one I like. I just don't know if Your Majesty is willing to give her up."

Su Zhizhi's eyelids twitched violently. Considering Sigoya's behavior just now, Su Zhizhi seemed to be able to predict what Sigoya would say next.

Xie Chengjin also wanted to approach Sigoya to stop him, but he was caught off guard when he met Su Zhizhi's gaze. Xie Chengjin had to restrain himself and sit where he was without intervening.

The emperor was very surprised and asked with great interest, "Oh? Why don't you tell me? I want to see which girl you asked to marry."

Sigoya smiled faintly, pointed at Xu Miao, and said, "Of course it's Princess Changle of your country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar. Xu Miao closed his eyes tightly. When he was about to stand up and refuse, he was stopped by Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi shook her head at Xu Miao. Xu Miao was no longer unwilling, but still sat down.

The emperor was also stunned. He realized what Sigoya had just said, and the smile on his face gradually faded. Of course, he did not want his daughter to get married, but he could not refuse openly. For a moment, no one in the hall spoke. Sigoya's face was full of pride, as if he was sure that the emperor could not refuse.

At this moment, Xie Chengjin stood up, "Sir Si."

Sigoya raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Chengjin, waiting for Xie Chengjin's next words.

Xie Chengjin stood in front of Si Geya, staring at her intently, and said, "Your Excellency seems to be unaware that although Princess Changle has a title and a mansion, she is not yet of marriageable age. If Your Excellency wants a marriage partner, why not look at other girls in the capital?"

Sigoya glanced at Xu Miao and chuckled, "Thank you, sir. I think you should know better than me whether Princess Changle is of marriageable age, right? You are so afraid that I will marry Princess Changle. Could it be..."

Xie Chengjin's face darkened instantly, as if he was about to attack Sigoya in the next second.

Just as Xie Chengjin was about to make his move, the emperor spoke up, "Well, Miao'er is indeed not yet of marriageable age, but she should have her own ideas. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her. Since you are willing to marry, why not stay in the capital for a while? As for Miao'er's matter, we can discuss it later."
