Xiao Jin: To hell with your Side Consort.
“Many thanks to Your Majesty.” Having reacted, Tang Nuoyue revealed a silly and sweet smile.
Hahahaha… Was Xiao Jin not high and mighty?
The other party grew up under a patriarchal rule and simply could not tolerate being married into a woman’s family.
But the other party was currently putting on a show of deep devotion to her, and she also acted as if she liked him very much.
With the Empress making such a proposal, she naturally had to accept it happily.
At this moment, they had not yet instilled in her the idea that the Empress might harm her. She only subconsciously believed the Empress would not like her, which was why she was afraid.
But when the Empress wanted to help grant them a marriage, she was naturally very happy.
Even if Xiao Jin was an Imperial Prince of another country, he was merely an abandoned prince who had failed in a political struggle. Making him a Side Consort was already holding him in high regard.
However, Xiao Jin did not think this way. He was still waiting to borrow the influence of the Xisheng Kingdom to make a comeback for himself.
Those people in the Qi Kingdom sent him to this place specifically to humiliate him.
Because they knew the Xisheng Kingdom was ruled by women.
The men here, just like the women in their Qi Kingdom, held a low status.
Men married into the women’s families, and a woman could marry many men.
Now that the Empress had granted the marriage, given his situation, he had no choice but to comply.
Originally, if Tang Nuoyue had not accepted so readily, he might have had a way to extricate himself.
But Tang Nuoyue accepted with a face full of joy, so he could only accept his fate.
“Since Prince Yue is so happy, I am also very pleased. Let the date of the wedding be decided by Prince Yue herself.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Tang Nuoyue hurriedly bowed. How wonderful the Empress was, understanding her heart so well.
The Empress was truly lovely, actually coming up with the idea to grant her a marriage. Although it might have been a random whim, she truly would not refuse.
These few men had plotted against her, and she had also truly liked them.
Now that she had started over, she wanted revenge, but she also did not refuse getting close to them.
Even if it was just sleeping with them once, she felt it was quite good.
But she would never give her true heart again. Since she was in a country ruled by women like the Xisheng Kingdom, she would follow the local customs and enjoy this world where women were superior.
Tang Nuoyue thought to herself, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Xiao Jin’s unsightly expression.
“Does the Sixth Prince have some dissatisfaction?” Tang Guo suddenly asked.
Xiao Jin hurriedly revealed a smile. He hated it to death in his heart, yet his face was full of smiles. “Not at all. Xiao Jin is merely very happy. I did not expect to receive a marriage granted by the Empress and be able to be with the Prince openly and honestly.”
“So that is how it is. Prince Yue has just recovered. The late Emperor once exhorted me to take good care of Prince Yue.”
“Prince Yue is my biological elder sister. She has lost much, so I naturally must satisfy some of her small requests. Since you two have mutual affection, I must fulfill this beautiful matter regardless.”
Tang Nuoyue’s eyes brightened. Correct, they were two sisters, so they should naturally care for each other.
So lovely, the Empress is her younger sister.
However, they could not be too close right now. Xiao Jin would be suspicious, and the Empress would be suspicious as well.
She did not intend to fall out with her Empress sister and cause the other party’s dissatisfaction.
“Prince Yue, now that you have recovered, is there anything else you want?”
“This subject does not want anything else.” Tang Nuoyue glanced at Xiao Jin, a flush of shyness flashing across her face. “To be able to receive a marriage granted by the Empress today, this subject is already very grateful.”
Xiao Jin was about to explode with rage.
“Then have you thought of a good date?”
“This subject will go back and look through the calendar.”
Tang Nuoyue thought in her heart, of course, the sooner the better.
Tang Guo nodded. “Mm.”
Upon leaving, Tang Nuoyue was extremely happy. In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Jin could only pull at the corners of his mouth and accompany her in her happiness, though he did not know how many times he cursed in his heart.
