Confession (2)
Xie Xuanchen was conferred the title of King Qiyang when he had dominated the battlefields. Therefore, in the neighbouring countries, King Qiyang’s name was considerably more well-known than the emperor of the Ye Dynasty. Wanyan Duo was a member of a northern nomadic tribe. She was used to hearing about King Qiyang, but now that Xie Xuanchen’s title had changed, she was unaware of it.
‘She wants to withdraw from this mess after starting it.’ Mu Mingtang understood that Wanyan Duo said those words on purpose. She wanted to arouse more sympathy for herself.
The audience couldn’t bear it and looked at Xie Xuanchen almost accusingly.
Xie Xuanchen sighed inwardly as he sensed his wife, who was sitting next to him, suppressing her anger.‘I didn’t provoke anyone. I’m really innocent here…’
Everyone could see that Xie Xuanchen was clearly dissatisfied and frustrated. Because Wanyan Duo was a woman, Xie Xuanchen had to put up with his anger while trying not to humiliate her too much. “What you believe is none of my concern. I have the right to choose who I marry. I have a princess already and I have no intention of being interested in other ladies, whether the admiration you claim is real or not. I am not fortunate enough to accept Beirong Emperor’s grace. You should give up as soon as possible and find someone else.”
Hearing Xie Xuanchen’s reply, everyone in the audience was speechless for a while. Even Mu Mingtang’s eyes widened in shock.
‘What did he say just? He has no interest in pursuing other ladies? Is that even possible?’
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, Xie Xuanchen had already stated his intentions clearly, and if Wanyan Duo kept bugging him, it would be too shameless. Therefore, neither the Tayan tribe nor the Beirong empire could afford to lose face in this way.
The Emperor finally said, “Since Prince An is not willing, let’s forget about it. Prince An is definitely outstanding. However, there are other outstanding men in the Xie family. Since Prince An is dissatisfied with this arrangement, the Princess Wanyan might as well consider someone else.”
With the Emperor’s words, Wanyan Duo could only back off this time. She raised her head and looked at Xie Xuanji’s side with her unique amber coloured eyes which shined like pearls.
Although those eyes were exceedingly gorgeous to look at, Jiang Mingwei felt uneasy when they were directed at her side.
Indeed, Wanyan Duo immediately withdrew her gaze, bowed her head, and replied, “Your Majesty Emperor Ye, I appreciate your concern. This little girl is prepared to faithfully follow Prince Jin.”
As Wanyan Duo’s words spread across the banquet hall, Jiang Mingwei felt like her heart was stabbed by a sword. She was happily watching the drama unfold just a moment ago, and never thought that she would be involved in it at the end.
Xie Xuanchen had already made the Wanyan Duo lose quite some face. If Xie Xuanji also refused, he would really offend the Beirong and Tayan tribe. What’s more, judging by Xie Xuanji’s looks, it seemed he had no intention of declining. After all, although Xie Xuanchen’s actions were out of the ordinary, normally, no man would refuse when a beauty came knocking at his door.
The emperor smiled and entrusted Wanyan Duo to Xie Xuanji after feeling somewhat relieved. Xie Xuanji stood up, thanked his father. Although the men in the audience were aware that they didn’t have a chance, they still continued to look at Xie Xuanji with envy and jealousy as they saw the stunning woman fall into his harem.
Xie Xuanji also knew that Wanyan Duo’s intentions were not pure, but it didn’t hinder his acceptance of such a beauty. Even though she was a female spy, Wanyan Duo had to stay in the capital after Ye Luyan and others left. So who could predict what would happen in the future?
Yes, Xie Xuanji was actually in a cheerful mood. Since Xie Xuanchen didn’t want her, it was now his turn.
Additionally, Xie Xuanji couldn’t forget the scene where Jiang Mingwei and Ye Luyan appeared together, and the look in their eyes. He even slightly felt that he had worn a green hat.
