The white cat on Gu Yanfeis knee looked at the two of them in confusion. It kicked its hind legs and jumped down from her knee, running happily to chase after the b.u.t.terflies again.

Meow!

The two of them sat in the garden and watched as the cat pounced on the b.u.t.terfly. Occasionally, they would even comment.

After an unknown period of time, the green-robed woman named Ruo Su returned with a black cat.

Your Highness, Kang w.a.n.g has already agreed to the marriage, Ruo Su reported with a cupped fist.

Feng Yang was drinking tea. When she heard that, her eyebrows twitched. She looked at Gu Yanfei with a faint smile. The two of them didnt say a word, except for the white cat that meowed.

Ruo Su organized her thoughts and continued in an orderly manner, Kang w.a.n.g told His Majesty that he already has a main concubine. If Princess Ximing is willing to be a secondary concubine, he will agree.

Then the envoy from the State of Yue praised Kang w.a.n.gs deep feelings and expressed that the Third Prince of Baili had already written to present this matter to the Sage. Princess Ximing feels that Kang w.a.n.g is a person who values trust and promises and is willing to be a secondary concubine.

Her tone was emotionless. It was just a statement.

Feng Yang put down the teacup and said calmly, Very good.

Gu Yanfei casually played with a peony flower that had been cut off by Feng Yang. She spun it, and the layers of petals trembled slightly, looking beautiful.

She smiled, her eyes s.h.i.+ning.

It was indeed very good.

The news of Kang w.a.n.g agreeing to the marriage between the two countries spread throughout the capital in just half a day. This news shocked the entire capital and made those families heave a sigh of relief.

This was really good news that overjoyed them.

That evening, Yuan Zhe, w.a.n.g Kangyin, Pei Wenrui, and the others gathered in Xiao Shoufus residence, all of them glowing.

Kang w.a.n.g finally listened to our advice this time. Xiao Shoufu, who was sitting in the front seat, stroked his beard and sighed. It was difficult to hide the smugness in his eyes, and he looked gratified.

w.a.n.g Kangyin and the others nodded with smiles on their faces. The gloom that had lingered in their hearts for a month was swept away.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed.

Previously, Kang w.a.n.g ignored their objections and risked breaking off relations with them to marry Li Yunrong. This matter made all the aristocratic families hold their breaths, but they didnt want to lower their heads to Kang w.a.n.g.

He didnt expect that after more than a month, Kang w.a.n.g would actually still admit defeat.

The Minister of Revenue, w.a.n.g Kangyin, shook his sleeves and said tactfully, Kang w.a.n.g still knows that the big picture is more important There arent many days left.

Yeah. Another person sighed meaningfully.

Everyone exchanged tacit looks.

In fact, they had long guessed it in private. Kang w.a.n.g probably finally knew to panic.

After the imperial mausoleum sacrifice in a few days, the Emperor would officially hold the Crown Prince Registration Ceremony for the Eldest Prince. At that time, the Eldest Prince would be the legitimate Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was the heir of the country and also the foundation of the country. He couldnt be abolished for no reason.

Back then, after the late Emperor ascended the throne, the ministers invited the late Emperor to confer him the t.i.tle of Crown Prince according to Emperor Taizus will. The late Emperor dragged it out for a few years, but in the end, he didnt dare go against Emperor Taizus will. With reluctance, he issued an edict to designate the heir to the throne.

This matter became the greatest regret of the previous Emperor for more than ten years. Even until his death, the previous Emperor didnt find an opportunity to cripple this Crown Prince.

If he officially appointed a Crown Prince today, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Kang w.a.n.g to ascend. Unless the Emperor and Chu Yi both died, then the next heir to the throne might land on Kang w.a.n.g.

There wasnt much time left.

Its all thanks to Xiao Shoufus bitter persuasion. Yuan Zhe, who was wearing a green s.h.i.+rt, elegantly stroked his sleeve and smiled.. Thats why Kang w.a.n.g changed his mind!
