The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 457 Mermaid 21
After the emperor finished speaking, the entire palace fell into a brief silence. Only the occasional bird song outside the window and the hustle and bustle of the market in the distance broke the tranquility.
Li Ye and Sheng Rao exchanged glances. There was no need for them to say much. The tacit understanding and determination were already deeply imprinted in each other's hearts.
"Father, I have a favor to ask of you." Li Ye broke the silence, his tone somewhat solemn, "I hope to hold a wedding in the near future and officially marry Sheng Rao as my wife, not only to give her a legitimate identity, but also to show the people of the two races our determination to coexist peacefully."
When the emperor heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by relief.
He knew very well that this wedding was not only a symbol of personal happiness, but also an important symbol of reconciliation and cooperation between the two races.
"Ye'er, your idea is very good, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run. I will call together the ministers to discuss it and make sure that this celebration is a joint celebration for the people of both countries."
Sheng Rao smiled slightly, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Sheng Rao also hopes to do her part to promote peace between the two tribes. The wedding will be arranged by Your Majesty and His Highness."
"Okay, it's settled. Go ask the queen about the wedding date. Ye'er, go see your mother too. She misses you."
The emperor sighed inwardly, as his eldest son had never been close to them, and he seemed to be blaming them for being partial.
He admitted that he and the queen were more partial to their third son, Li Xingchen, but in other aspects he and the queen treated their children almost equally.
"I understand, Father. I will take Rao'er to see Mother right away."
Li Ye nodded slightly and looked at Sheng Rao with tenderness in his eyes, and then the two of them took their leave to the emperor together.
The two walked side by side, Li Ye held Sheng Rao's hand and led Sheng Rao through the corridor.
The queen's bedroom was built high in the sky, and Li Ye and Sheng Rao took the elevator straight up.
The elevator is made of transparent glass, and the view outside is spectacular with dazzling neon lights.
The higher you go, the farther the view becomes, and you can almost see the entire empire.
Sheng Rao looked at the gradually shrinking city scene outside the window and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
This was the first time she observed this vast and complex empire so closely. Every light seemed to be telling the stories and dreams of this place.
She turned to look at Li Ye and found that he was also staring out the window, his eyes showing both deep affection for this land and expectations for the future.
"Aye, every place here is so beautiful." Sheng Rao exclaimed softly.
The elevator slowly stopped, the door gently opened, and a warm and soft light sprinkled on them, as if welcoming the couple who were about to enter a new life.
The Queen's bedroom, with its unique solemnity and magnificence, appeared before them.
As you step into the bedroom, a faint scent of incense hits your nose, making you feel peaceful and calm.
The queen was sitting in front of the dressing table, her hair being carefully done by her maids. When she saw Li Ye and Sheng Rao coming, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
"Ye'er, you are finally back. Mother missed you very much."
The queen stood up. She had always been in poor health, but after the doctor's treatment in the past few days, she finally felt much better and her complexion was not so bad anymore.
The queen slowly walked towards Li Ye, her eyes full of kindness.
She gently stroked Li Ye's arm, as if to make up for the mother-son affection that had been missing for all these years.
Li Ye looked at his mother, with mixed emotions in his heart. He actually didn't have much feelings for this mother, but he would treat her with due respect.
"Mother, I'm back."
Seeing this, Sheng Rao took a step forward at the right time, bowed respectfully, and said in a gentle and sincere voice: "Good day, Queen."
Upon hearing this, the Queen turned her gaze to Sheng Rao and looked her over carefully.
I saw that Sheng Rao had a beautiful face, even more beautiful than when I first met her.
"Princess Sheng Rao?"
The queen knew Sheng Rao's identity. She was the little princess of the mermaid tribe and also the former fiancée of her third son Li Xingchen.
But because of jealousy, he did many wrong things, lost face and ran away, so Li Xingchen married a commoner woman.
In fact, the queen hated Sheng Rao in her heart. She felt that it was because of her escape that the commoner woman took advantage of the opportunity and became the wife of her third son.
However, the queen was someone who had many years of experience in the deep palace. She quickly suppressed her emotions and put on a gentle smile.
"Didn't Princess Sheng Rao leave here? Why is she back now?"
The queen's words were mostly filled with blame and ridicule.
"Mother, Rao'er is now my son's fiancée."
Li Ye's voice was gentle but with unquestionable firmness. He gently pulled Sheng Rao to his side, and their hands were tightly clasped, as if declaring their determination and commitment to the world.
The queen was slightly stunned, her eyes lingering on the two people's clasped hands for a moment, and then a complicated smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Princess Sheng Rao has set her sights on another of my sons?"
There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in the queen's words, but she also realized her own gaffe in an instant.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. After all, as the queen of the empire, she had to be cautious in her every word and action.
"Ye'er, your mother didn't mean to embarrass Princess Sheng Rao, but the twists and turns in this matter made me suspicious."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I think your third son knows better how I left here!"
Sheng Rao didn't want to suffer this. It was obviously Li Xingchen who harmed the original owner. He sent the original owner to the garbage planet and forced her to be locked up, becoming a victim of cruel experiments.
Now she is being mocked by the Queen. How can Sheng Rao accept this?
Before Sheng Rao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire bedroom suddenly became tense, and even the air seemed to freeze a little.
The queen's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Sheng Rao to refute so directly, and she didn't expect that she would point the finger at her third son Li Xingchen.
"what do you mean?"
The Queen's voice suddenly became louder. She felt that Sheng Rao was lying.
"Queen, please allow me to speak frankly." Sheng Rao bowed slightly, but there was no sign of retreat in her eyes. "I left not voluntarily, but was forced. During those days, I experienced countless hardships and tortures. I missed my hometown and my relatives in the mermaid tribe every moment. I think Your Highness Xingchen knows all this clearly."
When the queen heard this, her expression became even more gloomy. She looked at Li Ye, as if seeking an explanation or a stance.
"Mother, the facts are exactly as Rao'er said. Xingchen did something wrong. He betrayed Rao'er and sent her to the laboratory."
Li Ye told the Queen everything that happened between Sheng Rao and Li Xingchen.
