Chapter 356: Chapter 356.1 Want to Marry Your Sister
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The emperor is a wise ruler, a wise ruler will not force others to do something difficult.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at the furious Emperor without changing his expression. Calling the Emperor a wise emperor was equivalent to putting a high hat on the Emperor.
“Forced?”
The Emperor’s face was pale with anger. His princess of Tartan was marrying Ji Shuisheng, and he said he was forcing her?
“Your Majesty, you might think it’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but this commoner doesn’t think so. If you truly love someone, there’s no room for anyone else in your heart. My heart is filled with Qing’er. Even if you force me to marry Saiya, I guarantee I will never have any feelings for her.”
Ji Shuisheng looked into the Emperor’s eyes and said each word with force.
“You…”
The Emperor was so angry that his face turned pale, but he could not say anything to refute Ji Shuisheng.
However, he could not understand why it was so difficult for Ji Shuisheng. No man did not want to enjoy the beauty of a woman.
Su Qing was indeed different. When the old Emperor made this decision, he was worried that Su Qing would make things difficult for Saiya, so he didn’t dare to ask Su Qing to be his mistress. He only asked for a wife. This was already a huge concession for the Emperor.
However, Ji Shuisheng disagreed. He even said that he would be alone for a lifetime? There was only Su Qing in his heart. Why did he not believe that Ji Shuisheng would not find another woman besides Su Qing?
She was slim, pretty, charming, and gentle. There were many women, and her eyes were as mesmerizing as flowers. He was willing to give up many flowers and choose only one woman for the rest of his life?
However, if Ji Shuisheng was lying, Saiya was Tartan’s number one beauty. He was not moved even if she was willing to marry him; the Emperor would naturally not bear for his daughter to remain a widow. Since Ji Shuisheng had already said so much, he still wanted to marry his daughter. Wasn’t that pushing his daughter into a fire pit?
Ji Shuisheng saw the Emperor’s gloomy expression and didn’t want to be entangled with him. He stood up and cupped his fists towards the old Emperor, bowing deeply.
“Emperor, if nothing else, this commoner will take his leave. 1 still need to find Qing’er.”
The Emperor’s heart was filled with anger, but when he heard Ji Shuisheng say that Su Qing was here, he immediately calmed down.
It was easy for him to kill Ji Shuisheng, but how could he get past Su Qing?
Wouldn’t she turn Tartan upside down if he killed Su Qing’s lover?
However, the old Emperor was unwilling to let Ji Shuisheng go just like that. He did not give him face, so he had to teach him a lesson.
Ji Shuisheng saw that the Emperor’s eyes were gradually darkening. He was ready for battle. Yeluchun’s voice came from outside the inner hall at a critical moment.
“Your son, Yeluchun, greets Imperial Father.”
Upon hearing that his son had arrived, the killing intent in the old Emperor’s eyes dissipated by half. He glanced coldly at Ji Shuisheng, flicked his sleeves, and sat back on the dragon throne. He shouted out majestically,
“Come in.”
Yeluchun strode into the palace. When he saw Ji Shuisheng sitting in the hall, his anxious heart calmed down. He first respectfully greeted the Emperor,
“Your son pays his respects to the emperor.”
“No need to be polite.”
The Emperor made a gesture to let the young lord stand up. The young lord straightened his back and smiled at Ji Shuisheng. “Brother Ji, you made me look for you.”
“Brother Ye Lui, why are you looking for me?”
Ji Shuisheng’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Yeluchun with a burning gaze. He did not forewarn Yeluchun this time and directly sent Saiya into the palace. How did he know that he had come to Tartan?
Yeluchun looked at Ji Shuisheng and smiled.
“I’m not looking for Brother Ji. Su Qing asked me to help her find you.”
“Is she here?”
Ji Shuisheng stood up excitedly. She had even asked Yelvchun to look for him. Was she not angry at him?
Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s reaction, Yeluchun’s smile grew wider.
“She is waiting for Brother Ji in the Little Prince’s mansion!”
These two people were silent, and the anger in the old Emperor’s heart was extinguished.
He heard an important message from his son. Su Qing was here, and she was looking for Ji Shuisheng. This proved that she knew that Ji Shuisheng had already come to Tartan. This made it even more impossible to kill Ji Shuisheng.
Since he couldn’t kill him, he would be angry if he stayed. He might as well let him go.
“Xiao Zeyu, Miss Su Qing is looking for you. You should quickly return with Chun’er!”
“Many thanks, Your Majesty.”
Ji Shuisheng was overjoyed. He had thought that he would fight his way out, but he did not expect to leave so smoothly.
“Xiao Zeyu, Zhen wants to see if you will still remember what you said today when you ascend to a high position.”
The Emperor’s words implied that when you are in a high position, you will no longer have that ridiculous thought about one person for a lifetime? Wouldn’t that waste his life if a man only had one woman?
“Your Majesty, please rest assured. This commoner will abide by what 1 said today for the rest of my life.”
“Go ahead.”
Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s firm answer, the Emperor felt annoyed again. Out of sight, out of mind. He waved at Ji Shuisheng and chased him away.
Ji Shuisheng followed Yeluchun out of the Imperial Palace. Yeluchun let out a long sigh of relief. Standing under the moonlight, he looked at Ji Shuisheng and asked with a smile,
“Xiao Zeyu?”
“Yes, my real name is Xiao Zeyu.”
Ji Shuisheng nodded frankly. He preferred his original name, Xiao Zeyu. It was much more burdensome than the name Ji Shuisheng.
“Then our families are well-matched.”
Yeluchun was very happy. Xiao Heng was the hero that his father admired the most. If he wanted to marry Xiaoying, they would be a match of equal status.
“I’ve already told your Imperial Father very clearly that in this life, other than Qing’er, all the other women are just ordinary women in my eyes.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Yeluchun seriously and repeated what he had said to the old Emperor to Yeluchun.
“I’m not talking about you and my sister.”
Seeing that Ji Shuisheng had misunderstood, Yeluchun quickly explained.
“Not Saiya? Who is that?”
Ji Shuisheng knew that Saiya was the only princess in Tartan.
“It’s me and Xiaoying. Xiao Wang likes your sister very much and wants to marry her.”
Yeluchun mustered up his courage. He had to say it sooner or later. It was better to say it sooner than later. Could he also probe Ji Shuisheng’s thoughts?
Yeluchun thought that Ji Shuisheng would agree. After all, he was talented and handsome, had a noble status, and was good friends with Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng couldn’t reject him.
Who knew that reality would teach him a lesson? When he heard that Yeluchun wanted to marry his sister, his face darkened, and he rejected him without hesitation.
“No, Xiaoying will not marry a royal family member.”
“Why?”
The smile on Yeluchun’s face disappeared. He thought he was certain, but Ji Shuisheng had rejected him flatly. He couldn’t wait to discover why Ji Shuisheng disagreed with his marriage with Xiaoying.
Yeluchun looked into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes and asked,
“Am I not good enough?”
“You’re perfect. I don’t want to see my sister sad. I’d rather she married an ordinary person.”
Upon hearing Ji Shuisheng’s reason, Yeluchun retorted unwillingly,
“Why would Xiaoying be sad to marry me? In what way is Little Wang inferior to others? How do you know that I won’t dote on Xiaoying?”
