Chapter 150

Yun Fengyun was weighing this matter in his mind; marrying Lin Qingyue to Yang Jun seemed like the best possible outcome.

But upon further thought, he felt somewhat unwilling about it.

After all, Lin Qingyue is no ordinary woman, nor someone who can be easily manipulated.

If she truly married Yang Jun, wouldn't she end up vying for favor with Yun Xiyue?

To Yun Fengyun, such a thing was absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, he harbored many worries.

So, Yun Fengyun remained torn.

He wanted to demand the same refusal from Yang Jun, yet also felt inclined to deny it.

In Yun Fengyun's mind, he could never find a solution he considered perfect for this matter.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Great Xia, I have already said this: I will marry the one who wins first place in this event."

"Therefore, this cannot be changed!"

Lin Qingyue bowed again in salute; on this matter, she still clung firmly to her demand.

Since it has already been decided, she here reiterated her steadfast insistence.

"Your Majesty, a ruler does not speak in jest!"

Seeing Yun Fengyun still inclined to change his words, Lin Qingyue clasped her hands again and responded repeatedly.

To her, such matters were a matter of course, to be carried out as such.

"Your Majesty previously promised that the one who wins first place in the autumn hunt would become my husband; since a promise was made, it certainly cannot be altered!"

"Since Yang Jun won first place this time, I, Lin Qingyue, must marry him!"

Lin Qingyue spoke again, raising her voice and talking incessantly.

Even now, this remains a necessity.

Lin Qingyue's promise made before everyone was all the more simple; it must be fulfilled and carried out exactly so, which is the outcome she most desires.

Yun Fengyun furrowed his brow, feeling a hint of embarrassment over this matter.

As Lin Qingyue said, as a ruler, once the emperor speaks, all matters must be carried out accordingly.

Otherwise, the situation would become nothing but trouble.

He looked at Lin Qingyue and simply could not understand why this woman insisted on marrying Yang Jun.

He himself still felt somewhat embarrassed.

Surely it wouldn't come to the point where, despite having already promised and agreed, he now must renege in front of so many people?

Zhou Tian's expression was complex; hadn't Yang Jun already refused earlier?

But now, Lin Qingyue keeps insisting, refusing to marry anyone but Yang Jun.

He found it utterly unfathomable, not daring to imagine how this problem could have turned out this way.

Lin Qingyue's insistence—doesn't it now truly isolate him from everyone?

For a moment, Zhou Tian couldn't adapt, merely feeling a buzzing in his head.

【Is something wrong with this woman!】

【Before he just wanted to use her, and now he's pulling this stunt.】

【She insists on marrying? I've already said I don't want to marry, yet she persists!】

【What on earth is a woman with a screw loose plotting in her heart?】

Yang Jun was greatly surprised; he really couldn't find a way to understand this situation.

"What is she scheming? To make you unhappy, to give you more trouble!"

Hearing Yang Jun's thoughts, Lin Qingyue snorted in displeasure: "Well, well, Yang Jun, you still don't want to marry me!"

"Do you really think I'm a destitute princess no one wants, that you must refuse me like this?"

"In that case, today I'll make you feel thoroughly disgusted."

Lin Qingyue now also believes that marrying into the Prince's Mansion is not a bad thing.

Once she marries into the Prince's Mansion, she trusts her talents to influence people's hearts and to handle Yang Jun, which she believes is possible.

With Yang Jun, her hope of restoring her nation gains expectation.

As for her two senior martial sisters, she can still think of ways to save them.

She can devise means to keep her two senior sisters from succumbing to Yang Jun's allure, so they can escape him.

Anyway, as long as Yang Jun is unhappy, she can be even happier.

This matter is precisely what Lin Qingyue most wants to accomplish.

The more Yang Jun resists and wants to cast her off, the more she will press on, just to see what he can do.

She truly doubts that Yang Jun could actually do away with her.

However, this behavior only makes Yun Fengyun even more torn.

Lin Qingyue must marry; Yang Jun insists on not marrying.

In this matter, Yun Fengyun worries even more about his daughter, fearing she will be affected by these events.

This is what matters most.

"Father Emperor!"

Yun Xiyue stepped forward at this moment.

Regarding this matter, she harbors her own views.

She is fully aware of Yang Jun's kindness toward her.

But precisely because Yang Jun treats her well and cares for her, these matters now demand a most reasonable resolution.

Her body is a pure sacred constitution of extreme yin and extreme cold.

Furthermore, this holy body is not yet complete.

As for between him and Yang Jun, there is no way; one can go ahead and carry out that final step between husband and wife.

Exactly so, therefore in this matter, her heart also feels deeply sorry toward Yang Jun.

In Yun Xiyue's feeling, even if she considers herself at fault in these respects, he remains completely unangered, without any trace of anger or dissatisfaction.

But he has always treated himself kindly.

Clearly it is her own problem, but Yang Jun only says that the husband and wife shall bear everything together.

Precisely because of these feelings, when Yang Jun directly pushes out Leng Qingyue and Mo Qingyan, in her heart it is impossible for her to be completely free of anger or jealousy.

But even so, she still calmly accepted all of this.

Having such thoughts, and moreover today, Yang Jun, before everyone's eyes, openly laid bare his heart, expressed his love, and frankly stated his unwillingness to take a concubine.

In Yun Xiyue's view, she does not mind Yang Jun taking a concubine; after all, she also needs someone who can temporarily share these responsibilities for her.

After all, as a wife, she is temporarily unable to fulfill her duties.

"Father Emperor, I believe the Prince Consort should take a concubine; therefore I approve of this."

Yun Xiyue also bowed slightly and quickly responded, expressing her view.

This is her own idea, also what she truly feels in her heart, a solution she fully agrees with.
