Inside the lobby, the sun was shining brightly. On the table, there was a precious porcelain teapot. Some were big and some were small, but without exception, all of them had exquisite patterns, while the others were simple and elegant. The Minister of the Left just sat like that on a wooden chair in the middle of the hall, his face facing the sun, looking especially kind.

"I say, you should have come back to visit your father since you've been in the capital for so long." The Minister of the Left narrowed his eyes and said, although it was a reproachful remark, it revealed his affection for Qi Wanxian. Although the girl in front of him didn't stay by his side for too long, in his heart, she was like his biological daughter, because he and Qi Shu's biological parents were also good friends for many years.

"Aren't there a few older brothers who are with you?" Qi Wanli raised the corner of his mouth into a smile. He had indeed been thinking about revenge these past few days and had completely forgotten about it. He wanted to come back and see this foster father of his. He suddenly felt that he was a bit selfish. Why did he always think about his own matters and forget about the feelings of the people around him?

"What's the use of your brothers? will only cause me trouble. " The Left Minister laughed, the lines at the corners of his eyes twisting. The silver hair at his temples stood out in the sunlight.

"Father, I know I was wrong. Am I not back?" Qi Wanxian looked at the wrinkles at the corner of his foster father's eyes and the silver hair. Everything had changed so quickly, but she was powerless to change it. All he could do was keep moving forward along the river of time. He needed to work hard to run, so that instead of being pushed along by the river, he would have to walk by himself.

"I know that you stayed outside because you were happy and free. Now that you're back, it's also because you're getting married, right?" The Minister of the Left used his hand to stroke his gray beard. If he was old and spicy, how could he not know what Qi Lan County was thinking? However, he still sounded a little jealous when he said that.

"Father, I know that you treat me like your own daughter, but there are some things that I have to do by myself." She knew what her foster father wanted to say, but she would not listen to him, even if she respected him.

"Silly child, if father can help you, I will definitely help you. It's just that my large family can't all be because of you …" The Minister of the Left withdrew his smile and his expression suddenly turned serious. He knew that Qi Wan County didn't just stay outside to be free, she also wanted to keep her relationship with him as distant as possible. Perhaps, after she did that thing, she would be able to harm them to a minimum. The Left Premier also wanted to help her, but he knew that he couldn't rely on him for the sake of his family.

"I know, father, I didn't want you to do this for me …" Qi Wanshi looked at his foster father's conflicted expression, and his heart was especially uncomfortable. His foster father was especially good to her. Since he was young, he had always come from his own home when he was free. The people of this family had never treated her as an outsider either.

"Ai, I don't know what kind of evil it is. "But don't worry. If it's necessary, foster father will definitely help you." Because of his old age, the Left Premier had cloudy eyes as he looked at Qi Shu County. Under the sunlight, the young girl's face seemed especially beautiful. He really had grown up. He was no longer the same old man who trained diligently. However, she was always yelling about the little girl who wanted to hug him.

"Isn't this Wuxian? How can you bear to come back?" A noblewoman walked out from the corner behind the screen. She was dressed in complex white clothes that dragged on the ground as she walked over, step by step. She looked like a lotus flower.

"Mother." Qi Dian looked at this familiar figure, and suddenly couldn't speak. At this moment, he suddenly realized that she had lost a home. She had another home. However, the blood was as thick as water, and the hatred wouldn't fade because of anything.

"Alright, alright, alright, it's good that you're back. You're also someone who's about to get married. I'm afraid you'll be able to come back even less often." The noble madame nodded with a smile. At this moment, she looked somewhat similar to the Minister of the Left who was sitting there. Qi Wanshi stood up and walked over to the noblewoman's side. Then, he extended his hand and gently pulled her hand, which, even though it could be taken care of, had slightly relaxed her skin. Qi Wanshi's finger slowly rubbed against that old skin. The Left Premier's wife lightly patted Qi Wanxian's shoulder to comfort him.

"I won't." Qi Dian said indifferently.

"The prince has arrived!" The servant's voice came from outside. Madam Zuo felt her body stiffen for a moment. It seems like this child didn't really want to marry her future husband …

"You'd better hurry back to your room and stay there. Before the wedding, it's better if we don't meet." The Left Premier's wife turned to her adopted daughter and said.

"Master, tell me, is this marriage good or bad?" The Lady Minister of the Left and the Minister of the Left stood in a row, waiting to greet the Prince, she whispered to her husband.

"Based on status and looks, this marriage can't be any better." The Minister of the Left turned around and looked at his beloved wife with a profound look in his eyes.

"But they don't have any feelings for each other." Madam Zuo frowned, but her tone revealed slight dissatisfaction.

"Then, did the two of us have no feelings before we got married?" Looking at his wife, the Minister of the Left revealed a gentle smile. He had only married this kind of woman in his life. It was indeed a strange thing to marry this man in his current dynasty, where he had three wives and four concubines. After saying that, she turned around and stared at the door. Her eyes were deep and filled with worry.

"That's true, aiya …" The Left Premier's wife lowered her head. She didn't notice the look on her husband's face. He tried to comfort himself by doing so, but he couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Ling Jing's slender figure appeared at the door, giving off the vibe of a natural born king!

"Greetings, Your Highness." The two of them bowed in unison as they spoke.

"Minister Zuo, please get up." Yu Lingjing reached out her hands to help the two elders take a look around. Other than a few plain servants, there was no one else.

"Thank you, Prince!"

"Your highness is here today to propose marriage. "Then …" The Minister of the Left remained seated at the head of the hall, while the Lady Minister of the Left was seated to his right. Yu Ling Jing held the cup of tea and blew lightly on it.

"Yes." "I'll just wait outside with the presents I prepared. If Minister Zuo doesn't agree, that's fine too …" Yu Lingjing said half-jokingly. In fact, he only felt that someone might throw out these things … But even now, he still didn't see the person he had been waiting for …

"Isn't this prince intentionally joking around? Who would dare disapprove of the emperor's decree?" Moreover, Your Highness, you are the most beautiful man in the Hao Yue Empire, and also the War God. We have no reason to refuse, do we? " Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and smiled. His eyes were still constantly sizing up Yu Lingjing. Although he had always seen this prince in the imperial court and had always been impressed by his intelligence, they rarely met in private. There was a saying that went, 'one doesn't know the face and one doesn't know the heart'. She would not completely confirm this person just because she was only in the imperial court and had a very good impression of this prince.

"Just in case. All of the items used for the marriage proposal are outside. Milord, you can go out and check them out. " Yu Lingjing looked at the Minister of the Left and smiled. The Minister of the Left was a bit confused. He knew that the Prince would always keep a smile on his face. Even if he said something nice, his face would still remain cold. But why did she treat him so well now?

"Forget it, we still need to check the things that the Prince has given us." The Minister of the Left didn't mind talking to her about some pleasantries. Sometimes, the more the better.

"Hur hur." Yu Lingjing smiled dryly. Actually, he felt a bit restrained now. After all, this was the first time she proposed to someone else. Although this marriage had actually been decided long ago, because the Emperor had bestowed it upon her, the etiquette she should have was not lacking. The marriage ceremony of the War God of the Hao Yue Dynasty could not be careless.

"Your highness, if I had something to say, I'll just say it directly. I have no children, and only a daughter that I adopted. Although she isn't my biological daughter, she can't be compared to me. I hope that after she marries you, you can take good care of her. " Zuo Wuji suddenly became serious. He spoke word by word. The light in his eyes was very sharp. He had been a government official for dozens of years. He couldn't ignore his imposing aura even though he was a warlord who had experienced hundreds of battles.

"Of course." Yu Ling Scenic Spot nodded, using the corner of his eyes to once again glance to the side.

"It's easier said than done." The Minister of the Left took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Please rest assured, Minister Zuo." Yu Lingjing nodded politely but strangely.

"The Left Premier's wife can't take it anymore. She and he are a pair for life, so she naturally hopes that her daughter will be treated like this as well." This daughter of mine has never liked to compete with others.

"Junior will listen to your teachings."

"Alright." The Minister of the Left relaxed a little when he saw Yu Ling Jing's sincere expression.

"Then Prince, why don't you have lunch here today?" Madam Zuo politely asked him to stay.

"Sure." Yu Ling Jing looked up at his two elders and smiled.

The Left Premier and his wife were also smiling, but they were actually wondering in their hearts. This ice-cold prince actually agreed to let them eat at their house. He had really given them a huge amount of face …
