In the depths of the palace, the lights were brightly lit, and there was singing and dancing everywhere. A young woman was waving her enchanting dress in the center, and around her were some first-class officials and their families, as well as some princes. Right in front of him was Li Yun Tian, who was dressed in a golden robe. Beside him were Concubine Hua and Concubine Zhen. Behind him were a few concubines dressed gorgeously. Star Scorch was sitting on his right, and opposite him was Li Yu Xuan.
After the dance, Li Yun Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, these people are really wonderful. They dance very well.”
"Yes, but compared to Princess Xing Zhuo's dance, it really made these people embarrassed.”Consort Hua couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Xing Zhuo was not annoyed by Consort Hua's rudeness. However, his eyes were already filled with impatience.
Li Yun Tian glanced at Consort Hua, then looked at Xing Zhuo without a sound. He suddenly waved his hand and the music stopped.
"Princess Xing Zhuo has been in our dynasty for a long time. Your father has already mentioned in his letter that he wants to be on good terms with our dynasty and talk about marriage.”Li Yun Tian smiled as he looked at Xing Zhuo.
Xing Zhuo's face was slightly red, but he still stood up and faced Li Yun Tian.
"Xing Zhuo will naturally listen to Imperial Father and His Majesty. However, Imperial Father once said that Xing Zhuo can choose his own husband. I wonder if His Majesty will agree to it.”
"Naturally." Li Yun Tian spoke in high spirits and turned to the left." This is my son. You are a princess, so you naturally can't be a concubine. Only those who are not married can be worthy of you." "If there's anyone who isn't married, it's my Xuan 'er and a few underage princes.”
"Seventh Prince is handsome, dignified, and resourceful. He is naturally the best candidate for marriage.”The ministers around him echoed and praised Li Yuxuan.
"Father." Li Yuxuan stood up, walked to the center, and knelt down.
"Please forgive me, Imperial Father. Your son cannot marry the princess.”
"What?" Li Yun Tian roared angrily. He awkwardly looked at Xing Zhuo, only to see that her face was pale and her body was in a daze. He could not help but feel even angrier.
"Xuan 'er, what nonsense are you talking about?”
"Your son isn't talking nonsense. Your son's heart already belongs to someone else, so I naturally can't mistreat princess.”
"You unfilial son." Li Yun Tian slammed the table.
"Princess Xing Zhuo, if my heart belongs to someone else and I still marry you, it would be unfair to you.”Li Yuxuan turned around and looked at Star Scorch with a sincere gaze.
At this moment, Star Scorch's complexion had mostly recovered, but one could still see the pain in her eyes. She thought that with her father's letter, she would be able to make Li Yuxuan marry her. Although she knew that he had someone in his heart, she felt that she would make him fall in love with her in the future. However, she did not expect him to reject her in front of so many people, not giving her any face at all.
"Alright, Xuan 'er, since you have someone you like, just take her as your concubine. You're the one to marry.”Li Yun Tian waved his hand and made his decision.
"Father…"
"Wait." Without waiting for Li Yuxuan to speak, Star Scorch opened his mouth.
"Princess, don't worry. Zhen won't let you suffer. The position of Seventh Princess Consort will be yours.”
Xing Zhuo smiled sadly." I, Xing Zhuo, am not the kind of person who would force others to do something difficult. Moreover, even if the Seventh Prince wants to marry, I don't necessarily have to marry him. I don't know if the emperor will allow me to choose the person I marry.”
"Of course."
" Alright, the person I want to marry is…" The nobles below were all filled with hope that they would be that person. Although Li Yun Tian had said that the marriage partner was not worthy of her, looking at the current situation, Princess Xing Zhuo seemed to have given up. Perhaps they could marry her. This Xing Zhuo was a beauty, and she was also the princess of the Star Dynasty. If he married her, he would naturally have both human and human rights.
"Your Majesty." As soon as Star Burn finished speaking, the crowd instantly exploded.
At this moment, Li Yun Tian was even more in disbelief. His eyes were filled with shock and excitement. Concubine Hua and Concubine Zhen who were sitting beside him were already somewhat depressed. If they really let Xing Zhuo enter the palace, wouldn't they have another opponent?
"Emperor, I wonder if you agree.”Xing Zhuo bowed slightly and revealed a peerless smile.
Li Yun Tian furrowed his brows. If Li Yuxuan insisted on not marrying him, he would not be able to do anything to him. After all, he still needed Li Yuxuan to deal with Zhang Zhongshou and find the treasure. This Xing Zhuo was a beauty, and he was already somewhat tempted. If he married her, it would also be a beautiful thing.
"Yes, of course, yes. Haha, I'll issue a decree now to make the princess a Star Concubine and let her stay in the Star Palace.”Li Yun Tian's eyebrows danced in delight, and he was extremely unhappy. The way he looked at Star Scorch seemed to be somewhat ambiguous.
"Xingzhuo thanks Your Majesty for your kindness." Scorching Star bowed and retreated. When he passed by Li Yuxuan, he chuckled and muttered," I'll make you regret it."”Then, he disappeared and was submerged in the palace wall.
"Alright, since the matter has been resolved, you can leave. Xuan 'er, return to the residence and reflect on yourself.”Li Yun Tian waved his sleeves and left, his concubines following closely behind.
Li Yuxuan was expressionless, but the ease in his eyes was obvious. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhang Zhongshou and Zhang Xingyan walking over.
"Seventh Wangye, you've lost a delicate beauty today.”Zhang Zhongshou laughed heartily.
"Prime Minister must be joking. There are so many beauties, why would this king care about this one? I see that your son is also handsome. Perhaps he needs a beauty.”Li Yunxuan returned to his usual smile.
"Seventh Wangye must be joking.”Zhang Xingyan's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, as if he couldn't stand Li Yuxuan's actions.
"Thank you for your nagging, but Xingyan is not as good as your highness. It will still take some time for him to find the person he likes.”Zhang Zhongshou flattered.
"Haha, I didn't think that the prime minister would believe this king. This king is used to wandering around the flowers, so how could I have someone in my heart? I'm afraid that after marrying that princess, my days will not be good, so I said these words. I hope the Prime Minister won't expose me in front of Imperial Father.”Li Yuxuan quietly revealed that Zhang Zhongshou wanted to know the identity of Li Yuxuan's sweetheart.
"Oh, I see. This lowly official will not expose wangye. It is naturally a good thing that the emperor has another beauty. Haha." Zhang Zhongshou laughed.
"This king has a beautiful woman to meet tonight, so I'll take my leave.”Li Yuxuan's gaze swept past Zhang Xingyan without showing any emotion and he left.
"Farewell, Your Highness." Zhang Zhongshou and Zhang Xingyan bowed and waited until Li Yuxuan was far away before standing up.
"Xingyan, go and investigate the woman who is close to the Seventh Prince.”Zhang Zhongshou ordered.
"Yes." Zhang Xingyan responded. His heart sank. He knew that he wouldn't have been fooled.
……
In Star Palace.
Xingchen's clothes were all taken off as she lay comfortably in the bathtub. Her fair skin was flushed red due to the heat, and the petals were all around her. It was a beautiful scene.
"Princess, are you really going to marry the emperor?”At this moment, Xing Zhuo had already dismissed the palace maids, leaving Nan Yang alone.
"What else? Li Yuxuan treated me like this, so I naturally want him to regret it.”At this moment, Star Scorch's eyes were filled with hatred.
"But…"
"Alright, you may leave." Star Scorch waved his hand impatiently.
Nan Yang didn't know what to do. She had no choice but to go down.
Star Scorch looked at her reflection in the water. She was pretty and did not understand why Li Yuxuan did not like her but liked that uneducated wild girl. She could not help but slap the water angrily and lean weakly to the side.
"Why is my beloved concubine angry?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. A pair of large hands slowly caressed her shoulders, tossing and turning. He picked up her jade-like hand and caressed her fingers.
"Your Majesty." Star Scorch could not help but feel goosebumps on his scalp, but he still suppressed the discomfort in his heart and turned around with a smile.
Li Yun Tian looked at the alluring Xing Zhuo and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He scooped her up and pulled off the light muslin at the side to put it on. The transparent veil made Star Scorch's body faintly visible. At this moment, Star Scorch's face had already turned red from embarrassment, and he couldn't help but coy.
"Emperor, you're really bad."
"Haha, my beloved concubine is so moving." At this moment, Li Yun Tian carried Star Scorch and walked to the bedside.
Nan Yang listened to the laughter in the room and could not help but frown. She did not know if the princess was doing the right thing.
The eunuch beside her nodded at Nan Yang." Congratulations, Miss."”Then, he instructed the eunuch beside him," Inform the Internal Affairs Office that Concubine Xing will be serving tonight.”The eunuch replied and left.
