Chapter 151: He is a dragon and phoenix

With such a sentence from Yun Xiyue, at that moment, everyone was stunned.

Yun Fengyun stared, wondering if his daughter would make such a choice?

The other officials were also stunned.

Could it be that the Sixth Princess is actually so reasonable?

Zhou Tian felt like crushing his own fists.

Look, such a fine princess ought to belong to me!

"Xi Yue, this matter..."

"Father Emperor, a golden word cannot be changed; moreover, the Prince Consort is truly a dragon and phoenix among men—having three wives and four concubines has always been normal, right?"

"Therefore, settling it this way is appropriate."

"If our Great Xia goes back on its word and doesn't take this seriously, wouldn't we become a laughingstock to the Princess of Zhu Zhou State?"

Yun Xiyue smiled slightly, turned while speaking, and gave Yang Jun a cute expression.

What's going on? What exactly happened with this matter?

At that moment, Yang Jun felt even more surprised.

He stood frozen—this wasn't what he wanted!

Yun Xiyue, meanwhile, wore a satisfied expression.

This is my surprise for him; Yang Jun must be quite happy now, right?

With this thought and decision, Yun Xiyue grew ever more satisfied.

Having married Yang Jun, I should consider him more, think of him in all things—that's what I ought to do.

Moreover, now before so many people, showing my tolerance toward him will surely earn everyone's approval.

If, heaven forbid, Yang Jun dared to do something that let me down,

then wouldn't he be condemned by all?

In that moment, Yun Xiyue felt very satisfied with her decision.

Now her eyes shone with excitement.

Yun Fengyun let out a soft sigh; this matter was beyond remedy.

"The Sixth Princess is right; a ruler's words are not jest. Since I already said this, I cannot go back on my word."

Having said this, Yun Fengyun considered the matter settled.

"Yang Jun came first in this autumn hunt; he shall choose an auspicious day and marry the Princess of Zhu Zhou, Lin Qingyue!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Lin Qingyue hurriedly expressed thanks; for her, this was the most satisfying and happiest thing.

As she bowed in thanks, she glanced at Yang Jun, her eyes full of pride and excitement.

At this moment, Zhou Tian felt utterly wretched, like a dog that had its day.

It's over—even Lin Qingyue, who first supported me, has gone over to Yang Jun; does this mean what comes next will be even more unpredictable?

Could it be that Yang Jun truly has some charm, while I remain the target, powerless to resolve anything?

Yang Jun also sighed repeatedly; he couldn't refuse this situation either.

Yun Fengyun has already made the announcement—who would dare defy the edict?

"Yang Jun, this act is a grace granted by me."

Yun Fengyun glanced at Yang Jun before him, and as he spoke, his gaze shifted to the young beast in Yang Jun's arms.

"You did not disappoint expectations in obtaining this young beast; I am also pleased."

"Yang Jun, you have not failed my high hopes in obtaining such a young beast."

"Though this beast is young, it already bears the mien of a beast king; if well treated and properly raised, it will surely become a true beast‑king sovereign..."

As Yun Fengyun spoke, his eyes never left the young beast in Yang Jun's arms.

Such a superb exotic beast—even Yun Fengyun could not help but covet it; his desire to possess it rose sharply.

Once obtained, what more could there be? One must seize it first—that is proper.

Hearing Yun Fengyun's words, Yang Jun felt a slight jolt; he could tell what Yun Fengyun wanted.

Yun Fengyun's current move is to take a liking to this young beast and, moreover, to want to have it handed over.

However, the young beast is now in Yang Jun's hands; trying to take it away would be impossible for anyone.

In Yang Jun's view, Yun Fengyun's present behavior makes it clear how things stand.

No matter what, Yun Fengyun's character had long been judged by Yang Jun; pretending otherwise is transparent to all.

Yang Jun now also understands how this issue should be.

"Father Emperor's praise, I, your servant, have already thanked."

"This young beast is indeed highly spirited; Father Emperor truly has a discerning eye—I admire you!"

Yang Jun smiled and spoke, saying this repeatedly.

In this situation, Yang Jun's every expression had already become one of the other ways.

Yun Fengyun still hoped Yang Jun would say more next.

Yet Yang Jun hardly said more; he simply remained indifferent, doing what he did.

As of now, Yun Fengyun's wish that Yang Jun would voluntarily offer to hand over the young beast has not come to pass.

"Father Emperor, rest assured; I, your servant, swore secretly on the wedding day to treat Xi Yue well."

Yang Jun continued to play dumb, speaking thus again.

In those words, everything was expressed in the most basic way.

Yang Jun also understood Yun Fengyun's expectation, but there was nothing more to say on this matter; he simply changed the subject.

This young beast, I, your child-subject, have also exhausted all my strength.

Moreover, this beast is extremely spirited; what I, your child-subject, hope for is to let it grow up, then keep the lady at home company, dispel her boredom, and even more, protect her!

Yang Jun knows that, if Yun Fengyun issues an edict, he truly cannot oppose it and is powerless to resist.

So, the only feasible method is this one.

Saying this, Yang Jun directly took out the young beast, then handed it to Yun Xiyue beside him, his face gentle and full of affection.

My lady, this young beast is what I, your husband, have obtained; I now present it to you, please do not disdain it.

Yang Jun's action left Yun Xiyue stunned.

She took the young beast, her lips moved; overjoyed, she lunged forward and embraced Yang Jun, kissing him fiercely at the same time.

Yang Jun smiled slightly, also lightly returning the gesture on Yun Xiyue's forehead, thus showing off their affection fiercely before everyone.
