124: Propose marriage

“No, husband, please, just spare me. I’m carrying our child in my belly!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I just came to visit you and the baby. I’ll go to the next room!”

Lin Yunhan’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment upon hearing that.

In the past month, she had accompanied Chen Xuan and experienced every method of Cultivation!

Now, as soon as Chen Xuan mentioned it, she immediately understood his intentions.

However, thinking that Han Wanqing had already emerged from seclusion and was nearby, her inner ‘taboo value’ instantly maxed out.

But she ultimately gritted her teeth, rejected Chen Xuan, and drove him out.

...

Early the next morning, Lin Yunhan awoke from a sweet dream and saw Chen Xuan staring at her as soon as she opened her eyes.

She then sighed; she hadn't been able to hold back yesterday and had given in to his wishes.

It's worth mentioning that in this past month, she had slept almost every day! This was more than the total amount of sleep she had gotten since she began Cultivating!

Yet, her Cultivation had paradoxically increased instead of decreased, making her feel somewhat...

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality!

Looking at the awakened woman, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, gently placed a kiss, and then got up and left.

“Husband, are you, are you really going to do this?”

“Yes, I must do this, otherwise, it won’t be fair to any of you!”

“Alright then, since you’ve already decided, I’ll support you! But, but about my matter, can it be postponed a bit longer?”

“Of course, I haven't been to your Han Yue Palace yet. Regarding your matter, I will invite your relatives and friends when I arrive at the Han Yue Palace!”

Lin Yunhan: “...”

After leaving Lin Yunhan, Chen Xuan went to the princess sisters’ palace.

“Brother Chen Xuan is here!” Zhou Jingyi greeted him with a smile.

“Chen, Chen Xuan!” Zhou Jingqi’s face flushed; what was bound to happen couldn't be avoided.

“Are you ready? If you are, let’s go into the palace to see your Imperial Father and Imperial Mother!” Chen Xuan smiled.

“You, your suggestion is too absurd. My Imperial Father... he definitely won’t agree! And my Revered Master won’t agree either!”

“Are you saying if he doesn’t agree, I won’t marry the two of you? We’ll be a family sooner or later; I’m just making it happen earlier!”

“As for your Revered Master, I already spent a large sum yesterday to persuade her, so don’t worry!”

“Exactly, exactly, Sister, if you insist on waiting until you reach Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation, when Imperial Father and Master can’t control you, it’ll be too late. It’s better to marry Brother Chen Xuan now!”

Zhou Jingqi: “...”

Thus, under Chen Xuan’s irrefutable tone, Zhou Jingqi could only obediently take Chen Xuan into the palace.

She actually didn't not want to marry Chen Xuan, but in her opinion, the external resistance was too great now, and it wasn't suitable for marriage.

It would be best to marry when her strength rose in the future!

But now that Chen Xuan didn't agree, there was no choice but to meet Imperial Father with him, for he was the Imperial Son-in-Law she had recognized!

Soon, Zhou Jingqi led Chen Xuan into the imperial palace. They passed unhindered all the way to the Emperor’s study.

Theoretically, as princesses who were not the Empress’s daughters, they were not entitled to enter directly, given that the old Emperor had countless descendants.

However, Zhou Jingqi was too exceptional; no one in the entire imperial family had talent as high as hers! Even when she was born, the true old monsters in the palace were startled, and she was even granted unimaginable privileges!

The only pity was that she was not a male; if she were, the next Emperor would undoubtedly be her!

Of course, if she wanted to be an Empress, it would only be a matter of her word, but unfortunately, her daughter was wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and had no other thoughts.

As Zhou Wu’s most outstanding daughter, Zhou Jingqi, he naturally showered her with all his love, giving her everything he could, short of plucking the stars from the sky for her!

Even Zhou Jingyi, whose talent was not as good, was given the same privileges and love as her sister! In the notoriously cold imperial palace, for the old Emperor to treat them this way, Zhou Jingqi's importance was evident!

After the three entered, they saw the two girls’ Imperial Father, Zhou Wu, sitting on a chair, reviewing memorials. Although he looked old and frail, his face was very dignified.

“What’s wrong?”

The Great Zhou Emperor, usually so stern, felt a bad premonition seeing his two most cherished daughters enter with a man.

“No, nothing, it’s just something I need to discuss with Imperial Father!” Zhou Jingqi stammered.

“What is it? Is there anyone in the entire imperial palace who dares to go against you?”

“No, no, it’s something else!” Zhou Jingqi’s face was flushed.

“What exactly is it?”

“Imperial Father, your daughter has come today to discuss... marrying Chen Xuan!” Zhou Jingqi said, plucking up her courage.

“Oh, it’s about marriage, I thought it was... Hmm? Marriage?!! (Voice cracking) Are you sure you’re not joking?” Zhou Wu’s eyes widened.

“No, Chen Xuan is your daughter’s beloved, and your daughter is willing to spend her life with him!” Zhou Jingqi answered firmly.

“Chen Xuan?” Zhou Wu looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with scrutiny. “Where are you from? Do you have elders at home?”

Chen Xuan stepped forward and bowed: “Your humble son-in-law greets Your Majesty! I am...”

He introduced himself.

“Humble son-in-law? Who’s your humble son-in-law? Did I agree? Even if you are the Sect Master of Xuan Yang Sect, this is absolutely impossible!! You are not worthy of my daughter!”

“Imperial Father!! Chen Xuan is very capable! Your daughter, your daughter has decided on him for this life; besides him, I will marry no one else!” Zhou Jingqi was displeased and said firmly, her voice revealing determination.

Zhou Wu’s expression changed. He didn’t expect his daughter to be so resolute in choosing Chen Xuan, which made him feel somewhat angry.

“Qier, you... how can you be so willful! You are my daughter, do you know how much I cherish you? How can you so easily give yourself to a stranger?!”

Zhou Jingqi shook her head firmly: “Imperial Father, I’m not being willful. I truly like Brother Chen Xuan very much. He is someone worth entrusting my life to!”

“Qier, you are too young and don’t understand the wickedness of human hearts. This Chen Xuan must have sweet-talked and deceived you. How can I rest assured letting you marry him!” Zhou Wu frowned deeply, a little anxious.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty, what you said is not right. My feelings for the princess are genuine. I am willing to use everything I have to protect her!

She originally intended to wait until her own strength reached a point where you couldn’t control her before planning to marry me, but I don’t think that’s appropriate! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be proposing marriage now.”

Zhou Wu looked at his daughter, sighing inwardly, never expecting his little cabbage, whom he had raised since childhood, to have such a mischievous idea!

“Yes, Imperial Father, Brother Chen Xuan is truly a good person, and he’s strong. Both he and Sister have a promising future!”

“Brother Chen Xuan? Why are you calling him more intimately than she is?”

“Replying to Your Majesty, your humble son-in-law has come today precisely to seek the hands of both princesses in marriage!”

“What? Two?!” Emperor Zhou Wu was furious, feeling as if he had handled too many state affairs and was experiencing hallucinations.

“How can I marry both of my precious daughters to you, you brat! I advise you to dispel that notion right away!”

“Imperial Father, don’t be angry. Brother Chen Xuan truly likes us! Both my sister and I... like him very much!” Zhou Jingyi quickly said.

“You, you two!!” Zhou Wu pointed at his two daughters, fuming with rage.
