Wei Xun almost didn't react.
So much time has passed, and this is the first time Ling Qingwan asked him about the imperial edict.
"What I mean is, as long as you are willing, you can add your name to it at any time and become my legitimate future princess." Wei Xun looked at Ling Qingwan's profile with a look of emotion.
"Wei Xun." Ling Qingwan suddenly called Wei Xun.
She turned around and came face to face with Wei Xun.
"I'm here." Wei Xun was a little dazed.
He didn't know why Ling Qingwan acted so serious, but it didn't seem like anything bad had happened.
"Please marry me, okay? Wait until my brother comes back and then marry me." Ling Qingwan stood motionless, looking into Wei Xun's eyes.
She is getting married to Wei Xun, and Ling Xiao, as the most important person to her, must not be absent.
Therefore, Ling Qingwan decided to get married after Ling Xiao returned.
She knew that as long as she was willing, Wei Xun would agree if she said she wanted to get married the next day.
"Okay! Of course!"
Wei Xun was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted.
He nodded repeatedly, as excited as a three-year-old child.
After saying that, Wei Xun took a few steps forward and threw Ling Qingwan into his arms.
"Wanwan." Wei Xun hugged Ling Qingwan tightly. "You finally agreed to marry me."
Ling Qingwan didn't know how long he had been waiting for this moment.
How many times did he almost blurt out that Ling Qingwan should marry him, but he was afraid that Ling Qingwan would feel pressured. So, Wei Xun left their marriage to Ling Qingwan to decide.
When and how to get married is all decided by Ling Qingwan.
Early in the morning, before daybreak, Wei Xun entered the palace.
The emperor had just woken up. He put on his clothes in a daze and walked to the main hall.
"What happened?" The emperor couldn't help but yawn.
It was the first time that the emperor encountered Wei Xun being so active. Those who didn't know would think that something big had happened.
Of course, that's what the emperor thinks.
"Wanwan agreed to marry me!" Wei Xun said to the emperor excitedly.
…
"Just for this?" The emperor thought he had misheard.
Just for this, you called him out of bed
"Yes!" Wei Xun answered with great firmness.
His parents had both passed away, and he had been raised by the emperor since he was a child. Now that Wei Xun had decided on a marriage, he would naturally be the first to tell the emperor.
"You are really obsessed with the girl from the Ling family." The emperor laughed.
As far as he could remember, Wei Xun had always acted steadily, except when it came to Ling Qingwan's affairs, when he would lose his composure.
After receiving the emperor's approval, Wei Xun returned to the palace contentedly.
He took a leave of absence from the morning court today. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep the whole night. Wei Xun wanted to catch up on his sleep.
As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, I heard shocking news.
"You mean, the prince of Northern Zhou has come to the capital?" Wei Xun was surprised.
He had heard about the Northern Zhou Prince Manxing.
The Northern Zhou emperor was a playboy and he loved women the most. He had one or two hundred concubines in the palace alone, and more than thirty princes and princesses. Half of them were princes of marriageable age.
This shows how lively the Northern Zhou government was.
There was only one position of crown prince, but more than a dozen people were vying for it. Finally, after four years of power struggle, the position of crown prince fell to Manxing.
Interestingly, Manxing was not the candidate favored by the court and the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. On the contrary, he looked honest and decent, and did not like to compete, and was not conspicuous at all among the princes.
It was such a prince with no sense of existence who later defeated the popular candidate for the position of crown prince and became the crown prince of Northern Zhou.
Although Wei Xun had never come into contact with Man Xing, after hearing about these things about him, he could tell that Man Xing was a deep-minded person and definitely not someone who was easy to deal with.
Especially at this critical moment, he actually came to Dai Viet. This made people even more suspicious.
"Yes. He was hiding among the envoys of Northern Zhou and came to Dongjing City with the Dai Viet army." Wei Shi reported truthfully.
Even General Shen and Ling Xiao didn't notice it...
"Send someone to investigate quickly and find Manxing's whereabouts as soon as possible. It would be best if you could find out his motive for coming to Tokyo City this time." Wei Xun instructed Wei Shi.
The sky gradually turned pale. Wei Xun, who had felt a little sleepy before, was now completely unable to sleep.
The emperor sent someone to ask the Northern Zhou envoys, and they agreed with Shen Chengzhou's guess that the princess wanted to choose her own husband. But she did not choose only from the royal family, but was looking for a husband in the entire capital.
The princess of Northern Zhou said that as long as she liked a man, she would marry him no matter if he was a noble, a commoner, or even a beggar.
With these words, the emperor felt at ease to make arrangements. He built a competition arena in the city and announced it to the city of Tokyo, selecting unmarried men of appropriate age to participate.
It was a rare thing that a princess who was to be married off to a foreign country would travel all over the capital to choose a husband and have no requirements on the other party's identity or status.
Since it is a rare thing, there will be no shortage of people joining in the fun.
Today is the first day for the Northern Zhou princess to choose a husband. An Yi got up early, packed up and went to find Ling Qingwan, inviting her to go out and watch the fun together.
Ling Qingwan had nothing to do, so she followed An Yi.
The arena was packed with people, and An Yi couldn't squeeze in, so she could only stand on tiptoe to look inside.
But after a while, Hong Shang came over and told Ling Qingwan that the Princess of Northern Zhou was not present.
An Yi found it boring and got tired of it after a while. So, she dragged Ling Qingwan to Zuixiao Tower.
Zuixiaolou is very close to the street where the martial arts competition venue is located, just around the corner, and it is also Tan Hongbo's territory. It deservedly became the perfect place for An Yi and Ling Qingwan to rest temporarily.
"Wanwan, when do you think Ling Xiao will come back?" An Yi turned her head and asked Ling Qingwan.
"Why don't you even call me brother now?" Ling Qingwan chuckled.
Of course, An Yi likes to be called "Brother Lingxiao" and "Brother Lingxiao" the most.
"He was so mean when he lost his memory and bullied us every day. I won't call him brother." An Yi pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Ling Qingwan was amused.
"Oh, Wanwan, you haven't told me yet when he will come back." An Yi urged Ling Qingwan to answer quickly.
"Don't you hate him?" Ling Qingwan wanted to tease An Yi.
"I hated him when he lost his memory, but I don't hate him now." An Yi explained quickly.
"So that means you like me?" Ling Qingwan's eyes curved into crescents.
"I don't like it! Who says I either hate it or I like it?" An Yi muttered angrily, her cheeks almost puffed up like two balls. "Wan Wan, why are you learning to be as talkative as Tan Hongbo?"
"Who's calling me?"
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, Tan Hongbo's voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Tan Hongbo rushed in front of Ling Qingwan and An Yi.
Ling Qingwan briefly told Tan Hongbo about the two of them watching the princess choose a husband.
"You two go to the box on the second floor and sit for a while. I will come to find you in half an hour." Tan Hongbo said to them.
"Why half an hour later? Do you have something urgent to do?"
