Chapter 220.2 - It’s a vixen
The emperor’s words fell as not only Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Qing, but the silent Xiahou Rui, all suddenly lifted up their heads in disbelief.
How could he have thought that his father-emperor would choose to marry off Miss Lou?
His body shot upright before the seventh prince Xiahou Liuyun pressed down on his arm.
“Second brother, don’t be impulsive!”
“But …”
“Believe in Miss Lou, she’ll be able to deal with it.”
Xiahou Rui grew silent as he looked at Lou Qingwu with slightly bitter eyes.
After a long time, he finally closed his eyes and nodded his head.
Xiahou Liuyun then let go of his hands but when he looked at the emperor, his eyes were slightly complicated.
What was his father-emperor thinking?
Why did he want to send Miss Lou away?
Lou Qingwu’s red lips were tightly pursed together.
Everyone’s eyes all fell on her and Xiahou Qing.
Some were congratulatory, some were playful and some were more like the Countess of Chaoxia and filled with contempt.
She calmly looked at the table in front of her before lifting up her head, her eyes regaining their usual composure as she slowly stood up.
As if she didn’t see the eyes on her from all four directions, she looked towards the emperor before walking towards the third princess Xiliang Feiyue’s side.
Xiahou Qing’s eyes were a bit dazed.
He didn’t think it would be like this as he also joined them at the centre of the hall.
His brows were knitted as he tried to think of his next step.
Lou Qingwu’s eyes were half lowered, hiding her emotions.
If the emperor wanted her to willingly marry, then he’d have to first ask.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, a voice behind her announced ---
“Night Prince has arrived!”
Following this voice, Feng Yege wore the dark purple of a royal prince as he strode in.
His figure was long as the colours complemented his handsome face, giving him a cold aura.
When he reached the centre of the hall, his phoenix eyes looked up as he greeted, “Ye greets the emperor!”
“Night Prince, why have you come?” The emperor saw Feng Yege and his eyelid twitched, he suddenly had a bad feeling that tonight’s banquet was going to go as well as he envisaged.
Indeed, in the next moment, Feng Yege’s low voice rang out with conviction, “Ye asks to marry the left prime minister’s eldest daughter, Lou Qingwu as consort!”
Feng Yege’s words made everyone freeze.
The emperor’s face grew dark but the person underneath didn’t move.
His brows grew furrowed, “Night Prince, this emperor has already decided to marry the Countess of Rende to Xiliang country’s fifth prince. Night Prince, your actions are really making things difficult for this emperor.”
“Has the emperor already laid down an imperial edict?”
“Has the emperor already laid down an imperial edict?”
“Not yet.”
“Then I hope that the emperor would consider it because Ye must marry Miss Lou, or I won’t marry at all!” Feng Yege’s composure and words were strong, making the emperor’s brows furrow even tightly.
What was wrong with the Night Prince today?
He was clearly not following the path the emperor was making for him.
But when he thought of the empress dowager, he could only grit his teeth and not touch him for the time being.
He rubbed his forehead and was about to continue to say something before Xiahou Qing saw this and couldn’t hold it in any more, falling to his knees immediately and kneeling down, “Father-emperor, I would also like to ask for Miss Lou’s hand in marriage!”

I'm confused with all the Prince title, they're so similar.
ReplyDeleteXiahou Qing- empress son,second brother,crush on LQ?
Xiahou Luiyan-empress son, ally of Xiahou Qing?
Xiahou Rui- ??? (Is this LQ revenge target?)
Thanks for the chapter!
There's a handy character list for this reason:-
Deletehttps://soupytranslations.blogspot.com/p/character-list.html
Xiahou Qing >> Revenge Target, manipulative b... Main Evil Character. I don't remember but he's adopted son of the empress? Anyway, not hers.
DeleteXiahou Rui >> Prince that had crush on LQW, wanted to marry her, but has arranged marriage (which the bride already loved another, LQW interfered and yada. Was the one that got caught up in the schemes on the veeery beginning when one of the emperor's concubine lost her child and LQW helped him. This was how the crush started)
Xiahou Luiyan: Rui's younger brother, both are the empress children and "real" brothers (as in, same blood and act like so)
Xiahou Rui is the one witht he crush on LQW, and that once again didn't help/do anything for her (but ok, since he's the one that needs to get the throne, and that LQW is helping)
Xiahou Qing is the sob, that wants to marry/use LQW to get the throne, that did so in the past life, and now needs to pay.
Now...
Omg. what is this situation.
LQW, please don't say no to Feng Yege like thiiiis T_T
Someone who's promoting my character list - and it's not me??? 👀👀
DeleteThey have similar names because they're brothers and all have the same last names. Luna's right on all 💗💗
DeleteThanks for reading 💞💞
Delete... Welp, that works.
ReplyDeleteGuess things are going to get pretty messy soon-ish :D (Also, THROW YOUR LOT IN TOO XIAHOU RUI, LET'S SEE WHAT THE EMPEROR SAYS WHEN SUDDENLY ALL HIS SONS WANT THE SAME WOMAN BWAHAHAHAHHAA)
Don't forget the seventh prince he just loves to make trouble wherever he goes ;)
DeleteXiahou Rui knows better than that (probably) 😬😬
DeleteXiahou Liuyun knows that this is a serious event, he'd gossip about it but he wouldn't actually meddle 😫😫
DeleteHe shouldn't know better than that though. =P He'll never get his chance if he keeps waiting for "a good chance" to gett LQW ha!
DeleteSuppose this is why he's just a secondary ML o7
Xiahou Rui values his life which means that he's more keen on getting that throne 😭😭
Delete(Hence second lead, poor guy)
Lol and the list will go on
ReplyDeleteHalf the princes want her. Then this can only make the emperor want to get rid of her more😒💁
Only two of them 😭😭
DeleteOnce Rui makes his claim I think the 5th Prince from Xiliang will wonder why these men all want his "promised" bride. I knew the Night Prince would crash the party. He was the prize. Is Qingwu's heart stirring right aabout now?👀 You betcha' it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this chapter.
Probably not. She has been aware of his feelings for her for a while.
Delete5th prince will just wonder why they're all blind and want to marry an ugly girl 😳😳
DeleteLQW's heart has moved for Feng Yege but she's still stone cold 😩😩
DeleteI think that in the letter which she had sent to the prime minister of the Xiliang country she had propose a plan and he will openly support her or create an opportunity for her to escape from this situation. And then the emperor will be force to give a chance to her .... to choose which prince she wants. And she will choose the third prince because she wants to revenge. And Feng Yege will be heartbroken but he will not give up.
ReplyDeleteVery close 👀👀
DeleteThis is crazy !!!
