Originally, Murong Jin had asked Ji Wuwang to come to the Northern Territory in order to protect him. He knew clearly what kind of person his sister was.

So he thought of letting him come to the northern border to lie dormant for a while, and then come back to fight when both sides were defeated in the battle in the capital.

After all, the capital city cannot reach the northern border.

By then, with the strong backing of the North, Ji Wuwang will fight for the throne, and he will not be defeated as long as he wants.

However, this time, Defei sent hundreds of letters, but Ji Wuwang did not reply to any of them.

Not only did he not return, he even announced it directly to the public and inherited the throne of King Zhenbei.

That means that when the situation was most favorable for him in the fight for the throne, he gave up the throne without even fighting for it.

At that time, in the backyard of Zhenbei Palace.

Jiang Wantang was practicing sword in the peach forest, while Ji Wuwang was sitting under a tree drinking tea.

Uncle Snake leaned lazily against a tree and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, you don't want the throne at all?"

Ji Wuwang lowered his eyes and drank a sip of tea calmly, without making any comment.

Uncle Snake asked again: "Why?"

"This is the throne. Which man in the world wouldn't want it?"

Ji Wuwang stared at the pink figure in the peach forest and said calmly, "The capital is full of intrigue and deception. It's nowhere near as peaceful and carefree as the north."

"What's more, behind the imperial power, there are many constraints..."

“It seems free, but it is not free.”

"That's not my ambition."

Uncle Snake followed Ji Wuwang's gaze and was instantly speechless.

He obviously likes the girl, but he doesn't say it and just spoils her in everything.

A good girl, but you've spoiled her into being lawless, like a living ancestor...

After a split second, as if he suddenly thought of something, a sly smile suddenly appeared in Uncle She's eyes. He leaned over to approach Ji Wuwang and said mysteriously, "Your Highness, nowadays, not to mention the entire northern border, even in this city, there are many young men who admire our girl. You see..."

Hearing this, Ji Wuwang curled his lips, put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly, "My Atang is so bright and beautiful, isn't it normal for them to like her?"

Uncle Snake frowned and thought: That’s not right, why doesn’t the prince feel jealous at all?

It seems he has never tasted...

Uncle Snake continued, not giving up, "Your Highness, do you know that recently our girl has been very close to Li Jue, the son of General Li's mansion in the city. They even raced horses together in the city a few days ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Wuwang frowned.

Uncle Snake saw this and felt that there was something interesting going on. He said, "I heard that Mr. Li is very handsome and has a great affection for our girl. He has given her peach branches many times..."

Seeing Ji Wuwang's face turn cold and his brows furrowed deeper, Uncle She added fuel to the fire, "I think our girl likes Mr. Li very much. Maybe he will be her husband in the future..."

"Oh, the little girl has grown up and has someone she likes!"

Ji Wuwang's eyes darkened suddenly, and he said in a cold voice: "He can't do it!"

Uncle Snake's smile deepened, and he pressed on, "Why not? Didn't you say that as long as our girl likes it, it's fine?"

Ji Wuwang's face was cold, his fingertips clenched around the teacup in his hand, and he spoke coldly, "His father, General Li, is a reckless man who always respects men. He has more than a dozen concubines in his house, and he has a reputation for favoring concubines over his wife. How can he be a match for such a man!"

Uncle Snake retorted, "A father is a father, a son is a son. How do you know that Young Master Li is not capable of this?"

"If I say he can't do it, then he can't do it!" Ji Wuwang put the teacup heavily on the table and said coldly.

Uncle Snake pursed his lips and complained in his heart: Tsk, he seems to be indifferent, but he knows a lot. I am afraid that he is not the one around the girl. You have checked everyone...

At this time, Jiang Wantang in the peach forest also put away his sword and walked towards Ji Wuwang with a smile.

Uncle Snake wisely dodged and left.

As Ji Wuwang looked at Jiang Wantang walking towards him, the coldness on his face had faded, replaced by his usual gentle smile.

Jiang Wantang came over hurriedly, picked up the teacup on the low table, and drank from it. He looked very thirsty.

However, the tea she just drank was the same one Ji Wuwang had just drunk, and the rest...

Ji Wuwang's eyes darkened instantly, and the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red.

However, he did not tell Jiang Wantang, and watched her take her own cup and pour another cup of tea to drink.

After a while, he finally calmed down and asked her calmly, "Atang, do you know Li Jue, the son of General Li in the city?"

Jiang Wantang nodded and said, "Yes, I know him."

Ji Wuwang asked again: "Very familiar?"

Jiang Wantang said, "Yes, she is a little familiar."

After that, she felt a little strange and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Ji Wuwang's eyes darkened, and his tone became serious, which was rare: "Atang, you will be a 15-year-old next year. Do you have a man you like?"

Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized why he had suddenly asked that question...

Could it be that Brother Xiaoqi thinks he's attracted to Mr. Li?!

However, my brother is right, she is indeed about to reach the age of marriage...

Ah! She is finally coming of age!

Hahaha...

It really makes me happy just thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang's heart was filled with joy, and a smile could not be hidden on her face.

When Ji Wuwang saw her like this, he frowned.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Wantang smiled shyly and said, "Well, Atang has always had a man in her heart, and she only hopes to marry him after she reaches the age of 15."

Ji Wuwang's heart suddenly sank, and a sharp pain and a feeling of suffocation spread from his chest...

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and asked her, "Who is it?"

Seeing his face visibly darken, Jiang Wantang leaned closer and kissed the side of his cheek unexpectedly.

In fact, she wanted to kiss him on the lips, but she was not yet of age and was afraid that he would say that she was impolite.

Ji Wuwang's pupils suddenly widened, and his clenched hands unconsciously loosened, clutching the brocade robe at his side.

After the kiss, Jiang Wantang placed his hands on the low table and said with a stern gaze, "It's my brother..."

After that, she repeated it again: "Atang likes Brother Xiaoqi, very much, very much!"

"I liked him from the first moment I saw him."

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head slightly, and with a pair of clear eyes like clear water, she looked at Ji Wuwang with a smile and asked, "So, does brother like Atang?"

"Are you willing to marry Atang?"

At this time, the sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and the pink peach petals are flying in the wind.

Beneath the peach tree, a stunning young woman in a crimson dress leaned heavily over a vermilion low table, her pink hairband fluttering in the wind. Her gaze blazed over the elegant and handsome young man seated at the table...

The snow-white headband on the boy's crown also fluttered in the wind, the pink and white headband entangled in the air, just like their hearts entangled at the moment...
