Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Mu Qingli did not explain the news that Qixue reported to his brother and Gu Luoheng. He just smiled and drank a sip of tea to hide the deep thoughts in his eyes. Fortunately, neither of them asked any more questions.

Naturally, the engagement between the two families could not be kept secret, and neither family even intended to hide it, so the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Coupled with the rumors that there was already an arranged marriage between the two families and Mu Yuan was about to return to the capital, this happy event naturally became the biggest excitement in the capital at the moment, even overshadowing the news that Prince An was going to marry Princess Liyin of Dongyi Kingdom.

Little did he know that the emperor's face was also very ugly at this time. He looked at Shentu Chi in front of him with a strange expression, and his eyes were a little dazed.

"What do you mean? Hasn't our Dayan Kingdom already formed an alliance with someone from your Dongyi Kingdom? What do you mean by wanting to further strengthen the relationship?"

He only has a few adult children. Could it be that he really intends to force all the members of the Dongyi Kingdom's royal family to his Dayan Kingdom? What on earth is the Dongyi Kingdom's delegation thinking?

Shentu Chi smiled and waved the fan in his hand, then knelt down and saluted the old emperor of Dayan Kingdom in a very casual manner.

"Didn't His Majesty say this before? Your country is indeed full of talented people. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I was out strolling and by chance I met your princess. Who knew I'd fall in love at first sight and never forget her.

That is why I have the audacity to come and ask your country to marry the Fifth Princess to me. I am willing to marry the Fifth Princess as your legal wife, and this will allow our two countries to become even closer and there will be no more disputes or wars. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

The civil and military officials in the hall all looked strange when they heard this, but after glancing at the emperor's expression above them, they remained silent.

What else can I say? Are all the people of Dongyi State mentally ill? One lost his innocence in the palace, and the other claims to have fallen in love with the princess at first sight and wants to marry her? Two marriages between two countries at once—who knows what other countries will think if news gets out!

The emperor was also a little worried but he didn't speak in a hurry. He squinted his eyes and looked at the members of the delegation silently, thinking silently whether this matter was feasible, and most importantly, how much benefit could be gained?

Shentu Chi glanced at the ministers of Dayan, took a booklet from the attendant beside him, and looked up at the emperor as if casually and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I've rarely fallen in love in my life, and I believe there must be some kind of destiny between me and the princess. Otherwise, how could we have met by chance when we went out? Your Majesty, I am sincere, and that's why I wrote this betrothal gift overnight, willing to marry the Fifth Princess as your legal wife. I hope your country will agree."

Xu Han was a very perceptive person. He glanced at the emperor, then immediately lowered his eyes, walked down quickly, raised his hand to take the thing, and then walked over quickly again to respectfully present it to the emperor.

The emperor had never thought that Shentu Chi had even prepared some so-called betrothal gifts. He glanced at him doubtfully and took the thing to check it out. Unexpectedly, his pupils dilated slightly when he opened it.

The ink had dried, but anyone who used writing ink regularly could tell at a glance that it had been written not long ago. It had indeed been prepared just recently, and even the handwriting was a bit sloppy and hasty.

Fortunately, the emperor could still recognize the handwriting. The more he looked at it, the stranger his expression became. He quickly merged the post and his expression eased a little.

"Is what Prince Chi said true? Are you really planning to use these things to ask for Xiaowu's hand in marriage? I heard that my daughter and you have only just met for the first time, and your country has already offered such sincerity. I'm worried that you won't be able to explain it to your father when you return!"

He was also filled with doubts. Logically speaking, Yao'er's face wasn't considered the most stunning, so if he really had seen all kinds of beauties, how could he fall in love with her at first sight?

Who knew that Shentu Chi's expression would become really serious. He raised his hand and bowed slightly to the emperor above him, which was rare. There was a slight smile at the corner of his lips that made him look very gentle.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, although I have been an adult for several years, I have never had any female companions around me. As a result, Your Majesty has always been extremely worried about my marriage. But who would have thought that when I sent my younger sister to your country for marriage, I would actually meet someone who could make my heart flutter.

"Perhaps this is truly a fate destined for us? I fell in love with your princess at first sight and am willing to marry her as my legal wife. From now on, I will cherish her dearly and protect her for the rest of her life!"

He lowered his eyes in a respectful and humble manner, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.

There was actually nothing written on the betrothal gift list. It was just giving up some materials and interests that Dayan needed. If he handed these things over, he would not worry that the old emperor would disagree. After all, isn't this how interests are exchanged between people?

It’s true that the emperor was really moved, but he couldn’t say much in front of all the ministers at this moment, so he just smiled at him.

"Prince Chi's kindness was truly unexpected to me, but this matter concerns the Princess's lifelong happiness, so I must give it some thought. Furthermore, these past few days have coincided with the grand events of your sister's wedding and the announcement of the results of our Dayan Autumn Examination. I'll consider this matter before making a decision."

"Of course, I sincerely ask for the princess' hand in marriage. I hope your country will consider it carefully. I will certainly cherish the princess in the future! If Your Majesty has made up his mind, please send someone to the post station to inform me."

Shentu Chi narrowed his eyes and said goodbye with a smile. He quickly led the delegation out of the palace and left with a smile on his face.

It was not until he was in the carriage that the attendant beside him whispered, "Prince, this is not in accordance with what His Majesty instructed us to do. What will happen if His Majesty finds out?"

Shentu Chi waved his hand casually without any concern, leaning lazily against the carriage with a casual attitude.

"I'm not panicking, so why are you afraid? After all, I'm the only son of my father. Even though I didn't tell him in advance, he certainly won't blame me. Besides...that Fifth Princess must be mine!"

That face.....really looks like her!

.....

The news from the palace was quickly delivered. Mu Qingli glanced at Qiu Jin sideways while holding the thing in his hand, and raised his chin slightly.

"Go ahead, it's our turn to take action."

Qiu Jin nodded in understanding, but before she took a few steps, she saw Cheng Qin rushing towards her. Seeing that she and Lianxiang beside her were holding a bunch of things in their hands, she hurriedly called Qilan and Qixue over to help.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly moving so many things here?"

Mu Qingli also quickly stood up and went straight to help, with a helpless tone.

Cheng Qin smiled and pulled his daughter to sit down, waving his big hand in a very unrestrained manner.

"These...are all your dowry!"
