Nan Jiu heard this and slightly 'exposed' a smile, only because she was trying hard to maintain her composure but ended up looking somewhat amusing.

  The people around didn't dare to laugh, but the ones who followed Xia Tian Meng couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle. It was really because the Ninth Prince's temper was too good, and he was so obvious about his own thoughts towards Miss! How could the great general, who was so majestic in others' eyes, be so... childish in front of Miss?

  Nanjiu felt a bit embarrassed and touched the back of his head, only to realize that he seemed quite foolish. However, Erge said that when you like a girl, you have to let her see your impressive side! And wasn't martial arts his specialty? He couldn't possibly take her with him onto the battlefield, could he?

  Xiatian Meng looked at Nan Jiu like this, but she could feel his sincerity. As the Dragon Son, he didn't have to please her so much, if he wasn't taking it to heart, how would he do such a thing? Moreover, in Cining Palace? He just heard the Empress Dowager say that she wanted him and Nan Xiu to be together, so he thought of protesting in this way.

  In his view, Wei Zhi already knew his intention and did not explicitly express opposition, which meant acceptance. So he himself had nothing to do with Nan Qi anymore.

  Such a young man who is still young and doesn't even understand those complicated things yet, doesn't know what an emperor is.

  If she didn't react, what would come next would only be her and Nan Qi's imperial edict of marriage.

  Wei Xiao might not want his brothers to be at odds with each other and would not kill himself, but he could use this method to make Nan Jue give up.

  He understood that this 'simple-minded' son, Xia Meng, would not really take action to snatch her away even if he had promised to marry her. He would give Nan Ju more things to make up for it, but it wouldn't be himself.

  If she hadn't read the original text, she wouldn't have known how deep Wu Zun's love for Xia Ying was. This emperor, who seemed to control everything in his hands, chose to commit suicide just because he couldn't bear to see his loved one humiliated. In the original text, he said to Nan Qi on the Golden Throne: "I don't ask you for anything, your seizure of the throne today only represents that you have the ability. But I only ask you to let go of Meng Meng, and also, let Xia Taishi be buried with me in the same tomb."

  Though they cannot share the same bed while alive, they can share the same grave after death.

  What a pity! The ruthless and cold-hearted Cult Master, Leng Ye, sneered from the side: "How touching! Unfortunately, it's too late now! Your beloved paramour is currently hanging on the city wall for everyone to see! Hahahaha!"

  Although Nan Qi felt that Leng Ye was too ruthless, he was still blinded by so-called love for Ye Ruo Xue.

  He did not see the tragic death of Taifu, who had once taught him knowledge, nor did he see the resentment and pain of his father, the emperor, who had nurtured him for many years. All he saw was the indifference of the intimidating emperor. So he seized power with such a sense of righteousness.

  Wei Rui Emperor killed himself on the spot, and when he was dying, he only murmured one sentence "A Shen".

  So Wei Ruo can tolerate Xia Tian Meng's current entanglement between two sons.

  He can let Nan Jiu suffer, a great man has no worries about having no wife, but he won't let Xia Ying Shen frown.

  In his view, Xia Yingxin was ruined by him and the life that should have been bright and promising was dragged down into an abyss. However, he didn't understand that two people who love each other are not afraid of life or death. Just like Xia Yingxin, even if she had thought about giving up this relationship for Xia Tianmeng, she never blamed him.

  What Nanzhi saw was bias, but it was all because of love.

  "Mengmeng, I want to take you somewhere." Nanjiu had unknowingly walked in front of her, and as he lowered his head to look at her, his gaze fell upon her perfectly beautiful face, which appeared especially gentle and captivating in the hazy night colors.

  He is infatuated with this "girl", every frown and smile is an absolute beauty.

  Perhaps he is just a superficial person...

  In the summer, Meng raised her eyes to look at him, and his eyes were filled with deep affection and shyness. But he still said that to her, she could almost guess what he would say after going to that place. However, she couldn't... Even if Nan Ju paid more now, she couldn't accept him.

  Because what she wants to conquer is not just him, she doesn't want Nanju to become hesitant and uncertain, nor will she let Nanju be reduced to a "male concubine".

  She just pretended to be infatuated, what she wanted was a lifelong companion.

  Her heart is too small, it can only hold one person.

  "Nan Jiu." Xia Tian Meng smiled lightly as he looked at him, his sparkling eyes were all his appearance.

  They saw them wanting to talk and instinctively retreated five meters back, lowering their heads and no longer looking this way.

  In the night's colors, they stand together in perfect harmony, one looking up and the other down, as if deeply gazing at each other.

  Zhang's nanny was startled to see this scene, and hurriedly smiled and ran over: "Hey, why are the Ninth Prince and Miss Xia still here? The front banquet is about to start! Let's hurry up!"

  Called out by Zhang Ya in a shrill voice, Nan Jiu furrowed her brow to look at her, but also knew that there was no way out now, and could only nod lightly: "That's right, we have to go."

  Zhang Yini smiled and pulled Xia Tianmeng, saying: "The Empress Dowager is also going to the front, why don't Miss Xia go with the Empress Dowager?"

  Xia Tian Miao understood Zhang's meaning, so she didn't decline and instead nodded slightly to Nan Jiu: "The Ninth Prince will go first, and I'll follow later with the Empress Dowager." She also didn't explain what she and Nan Jiu were just talking about.

  The more this happened, the more Zhang's nanny felt flustered, so she hastily bowed to Nanjiu and then pulled Xia Tianmeng around to leave.

  Nanjue watched as Xia Tian Meng walked away, her thin lips pursed tightly.

  He didn't want it to be like this, didn't want anyone to be able to just show up and take her away.

  He wants to openly and honorably win her over. Let everyone see that when they are together, they will feel like a match made in heaven, with the man's talent and the woman's beauty, and everyone else will naturally retreat.

  But... he didn't know what to do. No matter how confident he appeared, he couldn't help but take a step back.

  He is afraid of nothing but her rejection.

  Until they walked into the deserted corridor, Zhang's aunt anxiously advised Xia Tian Meng: "Oh dear Miss Xia, you can't get close to outsiders! You saw it today, that Ye San Niangzi and Yun Wangye are getting too close to the Empress Dowager. What did she say? You're going to be the future crown princess, you can't do this anymore!" She wasn't worried about Xia Tian Meng having an affair, after all, everyone knew how deeply Xia Tian Meng loved the Crown Prince. What she was worried about was that the Ninth Prince had a crush on Xia Tian Meng, and if something happened with the Crown Prince, wouldn't the Emperor blame Miss Xia?

  In the summer, Moe smiled slightly under the bright glass lamp, her delicate face looked even softer, but her dark eyes were filled with indifference.

  She reached out and gently grasped Zhang Mama's hand, saying: "Mama doesn't have to worry, things between me and the Ninth Prince are very simple." Simple to the point of being just a pure fondness, without any other interests or complications.
