Next to the embroidery room on the second-floor cabin is the flower room.

The brocade screen facing the sea was pushed open, and the moist sea breeze brushed across my cheeks, very gently.

At the two ends of the tea table filled with red flowers in the room, Abao and Shi Xi sat opposite each other.

"It's so hot, let's eat some watermelons." A Bao said, "I heard that the watermelons in Silver Pearl City are sweet and refreshing, and they are the best for cooling off."

But Shi Xi was worried and her smile was very forced, "Your Highness, please speak frankly."

Hearing this, A Bao knew that Shi Xi had already expected this.

She felt more depressed: "King Xuan wants to marry you."

Shi Xi lowered her eyes sadly: "Why?"

A Bao was very reluctant, but he didn't want to hide it: "You have a face that he likes."

Hearing this, a tear suddenly rolled down from Shi Xi's red eyes.

Ah Bao sighed sadly, carefully choosing his words, and advised: "I talked to Chuchu half an hour ago. If you, Miss Shi, don't want to marry King Xuan, you have an excuse."

"That is, Miss Shi, you are pregnant with Xuan Changdu's child."

A Bao felt that what he was going to say next was too much, but he still had to be honest: "But in this case, Xuan Changdu can only take you as his concubine."

Unexpectedly, Shi Xi suddenly stood up and saluted A Bao with his hands folded.

"I beg Your Highness to grant me a marriage."

"What? That's marrying that old guy, King Xuan!!"

Shi Xi's request surprised A Bao.

She was just about to persuade Shi Xi to think carefully, after all, if she delayed, there might be a way out.

But, Shi Xi suddenly knelt down, bowed deeply, and pleaded solemnly: "I know your highness's good intentions. But, marrying King Xuan is my lifelong wish. I beg Your Highness to fulfill it."

A Bao was shocked by Shi Xi's determination.

While I was distracted, it was already afternoon.

The sunlight is pouring down, and even breathing is scorching.

But Shi Xi still knelt for a long time and could not get up.

At this time, Xuan Changdu suggested that he wanted to be alone with Shi Xi.

Abao had no choice but to leave the flower room.

But the screen window of the cabin reflecting the shadows of the flowers could not stop the quarrel in the flower room.

Xuan Changdu asked sternly, "A marriage? Why did you abandon me?!"

However, Shi Xi remained silent and just stared at the clusters of mandarin ducks clinging to the flower rack.

A Bao watched the whole process and felt more and more that Xuan Changdu had it all his own fault.

She had clearly warned him before.

Before the Dafulou ship left the Chuyue territory, he had better keep Shi Xi in the cabin on the third floor, and especially, he must avoid Shi Xi being met by King Xuan.

But Xuan Changdu never took it to heart.

Suddenly, in the corridor of the flower room, the sea breeze stirred the fragrance of flowers.

When A Bao saw Chu Wu holding half a watermelon, he slowly walked over and stood on her left side.

"Abao, do you want to eat melon? I have a spoon here."

"Of course! It's hot and delicious."

As he spoke, Abao took the wooden spoon handed to him by Chu Wu and started to scoop the watermelon.

Chu Wu's tone was very regretful: "Shi Xi is so miserable. The Xuan Changdu he met was so greedy. He wanted both the position of the crown prince and his beloved, but he was unable to have the best of both worlds."

"Yeah, Shi Xi is so miserable." A Bao agreed very much and sighed with melancholy.

Suddenly, Xuan Changdu slammed the door and walked out.

A Bao and Chu Wu were both shocked and looked in the direction of the sound.

When he saw it by chance, Xuan Changdu's eyes turned red.

Chu Wu showed no mercy and even mocked him deliberately, "Ha."

Xuan Changdu glared at Chu Wu angrily, so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

A Bao, who was watching silently, couldn't help but said, "...Heh."

Xuan Changdu silently clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and left.

On the morning of the next day, as agreed, Abao couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Shixi into the fire pit.

However, she rejected King Xuan's deal.

But he couldn't stop it, so King Xuan asked the matchmaker to board the ship and propose to Shi Xi directly.

In front of Xuan Changdu, Shi Xi finally agreed to the marriage.

After that, the wedding preparations began in full swing.

After all, he is a frontier prince with the title of Pingyue, so the ceremony of taking a concubine must be complete.

However, King Xuan was extremely anxious about taking a concubine this time.

Ah Bao was surprised to find that in just two days, red silk was flying in the Palace of Prince Pingyue.

Yunji Courtyard was decorated with lights and full of joy.

Everything was ready. Shi Xi, who had a face like Yun Ji, received the wedding ceremony that King Xuan could not give to Yun Ji—a wedding ceremony comparable to marrying a principal wife.

On July 10th, Shi Xi and King Xuan held their wedding banquet.

Xuan Changdu was drunk.

Chu Wu, who was also attending the wedding banquet, looked at Xuan Changdu with a complicated expression.

After a long silence, she pretended not to notice his drunken state and decisively stood up and left.

It was the teacher who picked up Xuan Changdu.

As soon as the two men left, Princess Xuan walked out from behind the flower corridor and stared at Xuan Changdu's stumbling back, lost in thought.

At the same time, further away.

Abao, who refused the wedding banquet, is physically disabled but determined.

Carefully lifting his half-swollen left foot, he secretly lay down on the roof of the palace again.

I watched the scene after scene of the wedding night with melancholy.

She raised her eyes and happened to see the sharp bone lines of the black-robed uncle and his thoughtful and complex black eyes under the cold moonlight.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked down at her.

But he noticed that the little girl's eyes were slightly dim.

Shi Xi's wedding ceremony reminded A Bao of the imperial aunts who had married far away.

"If so, there is no election for the East Palace Red List." A Bao thought to himself, "Am I being forced by my father to marry an old man who is half buried in the ground?"

Xuanyuan Fengran rubbed Abao's head gently.

However, his voice was very cold: "I will personally bury him in the ground."

Hearing this, A Bao's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled with his eyes curved.

Just at this moment, she found that not far behind Xuanyuan Fengran, Shi Zejing was walking towards her with a wine jug in his hand. His staggering steps clearly showed that he was also drunk.
