This time, Xiao Jinzhi spoke before Chu Huanyan.

"Even without this point, Huanyan is definitely worthy of Erchen. After all, Erchen has a bad reputation. If we really talk about it, it would actually wrong Huanyan."

Facing Emperor Xiao's gaze, Xiao Jinzhi's tone was serious and firm.

Emperor Xiao leaned on the back of the chair behind him and looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Prince, I do it for your own good. After all, if you marry her, you won't get much help from the court."

"I don't care." Xiao Jinzhi chuckled and continued, "Since my father is here, my position as the crown prince is stable, so why should I care about any help."

Xiao Jinzhi's words were taken for granted, as if he was extremely sure that Emperor Xiao would definitely keep his position as crown prince. Of course, for some courtiers, this may be the most normal idea. After all, the emperor has been doing this for so many years.

But when Chu Huanyan heard Xiao Jinzhi's words, she felt a little sad.

The fact that Xiao Jinzhi could say these words just showed that he felt that Emperor Xiao did not want him to get help from the court at all.

Presumably, it was because of this calculation that Xiao Jinzhi went directly to Emperor Xiao to ask for a marriage.

"My son sincerely wants to marry Huanyan, and I hope my father can make it happen." Xiao Jinzhi knelt down with his hands in hand.

Chu Huanyan followed, and also knelt down to Emperor Xiao, but she felt in a daze for a moment.

She naturally hopes that Emperor Xiao will agree to the marriage and grant a marriage to her and Xiao Jinzhi, but once Emperor Xiao really agrees, it just shows that all Xiao Jinzhi's calculations are correct.

Perhaps the biggest reason why Emperor Xiao was willing to let Xiao Jinzhi marry him was that he felt that she could not give Xiao Jinzhi any help.

And if it is really the prince who was carefully cultivated by the emperor, then the choice of the prince concubine is so important. It is self-evident that the concentration is involved, so how could he choose himself.

After a long time, Chu Huanyan finally heard Emperor Xiao speak.

"That's all, since you two have a deep relationship, I don't want to be a bad person." Emperor Xiao looked at Eunuch Zheng, "Drawing up the decree, Chu Huanyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ning'an, has both political integrity and talent, and a beautiful appearance, and she is married to the prince. Your Highness is of the same mind, and hereby grants you the title of Crown Prince and Concubine, and we will choose a good time to get married."

"Thank you, my dear father." Xiao Jinzhi thanked him immediately.

Chu Huanyan followed him and also bowed and thanked him.

"Your Highness, Miss Chu, the marriage decree will be announced later. I am here to congratulate you first." Outside the imperial study, Eunuch Zheng congratulated with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jinzhi responded with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Zheng."

"If your Highness says anything, the old slave will leave first." Eunuch Zheng left with a smile on his face.

Chu Huanyan looked at Eunuch Zheng's back and then at the door of the imperial study room, and couldn't help but feel a little unfair for Xiao Jinzhi.

The faster Emperor Xiao agreed, the less he cared about Xiao Jinzhi's marriage.

"Let's go, Crown Princess." Xiao Jinzhi's voice sounded beside her. Chu Huanyan turned her head and met a pair of peach blossom eyes full of smiles.

"We haven't gotten married yet. Your Highness, please don't change your mind too quickly."

"Then let's hurry up and get married as soon as possible." Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's hand, and the two of them walked towards the palace entrance together.

While walking, Xiao Jinzhi was thinking nonstop.

"But it can't be too fast. After all, there are a lot of things to prepare next. If you are too hasty, it is easy to miss something. First, we need to choose a good and auspicious day. I will go to the Qintian Prison tomorrow and ask the prisoner to calculate it for us personally. The betrothal gift is It's ready, but the guest list hasn't been drawn up yet, and there are still things we need for the wedding day..."

"Xiao Jinzhi." Chu Huanyan interrupted Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"Are you really not sad at all? Your father agreed to our marriage so easily."

Without even any hesitation, she decided on the identity of the Crown Princess. Although she would not accept the position of concubine, by doing so, Emperor Xiao did not leave any escape route for Xiao Jinzhi.

"Ha..." Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help laughing, "Do you still hope that your father will disapprove?"

"That's not what I meant. You understand what I want to say." Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi seriously, "If you are sad in your heart, there is no need to pretend."

"No." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, took Chu Huanyan's hand and placed it on his heart, "There is no sadness, no resentment, and no feeling of unfairness. Now I am full of joy, and I only know one thing... you will start from now on." From the beginning, it’s my fiancée.”

It's not that he doesn't know his father's thoughts and calculations, but compared to the successful marriage, these are nothing.

He had long been accustomed to the thoughts of his father and mother, and now that such an attitude could bring him a wife he longed for, he felt that it was really a huge profit.

Chu Huanyan's palm was pressed against Xiao Jinzhi's chest, and she could clearly feel the other person's powerful heartbeat, beating again and again, like a cheering drumbeat. Tell her clearly that the person in front of her at this moment only has joy in her heart.

The displeasure in Chu Huanyan's heart disappeared without a trace along with the sound of her heartbeat. She raised her lips and relaxed her whole body.

"It seems I'm overthinking it."

"Indeed." Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan's hand again and walked out of the palace together, "But..."

"But what?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"But the lady loves her husband so much, and he is very happy."

"You're not a wife yet, don't scream."

"It will be soon."

"It's just an engagement, it's still early."

"We can't wait for tomorrow. I'll go to Qintianjian to calculate the days later!"

"..."

As the voices gradually faded away, Xiao Rongxuan appeared at the other end of the palace road with a gloomy face.

Looking at the two disappearing figures, he coldly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the direction of Fengyi Palace.

"I didn't expect that my father would actually marry Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan." In Fengyi Palace, Xiao Rongxuan told Queen Wei the news he had just received.

The latter sat back on the soft couch, raised his eyebrows and said, "I am not surprised that your father would agree to this matter, but I didn't expect that Xiao Jinzhi really wanted to marry Chu Huanyan, and she would also become the crown prince. I’m really blinded by emotion.”

"Mother, this is a good thing for us. After Chu Huanyan secures her position as Crown Princess, Xiao Jinzhi will no longer be able to win over the courtiers through marriage." Xiao Rongxuan said in a deep voice.

Queen Wei looked at her son and said, "Since you know it's a good thing, why do you still look so depressed?"

"Even though it is a good thing, I still feel very unhappy when I see Xiao Jinzhi getting his wish."

Xiao Jinzhi hit himself last time on the palace road, but in the end this incident ended like this. Even though there were many setbacks in the impeachment, his father still did not abolish him.

He really couldn't understand this.

"Queen mother, why on earth do you condone Xiao Jinzhi so much?"
