Chapter 245 Discussing Terms with the Emperor
After listening to Wang Xinyao's words, Zhao Guoan nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty means that only a true Miao princess can become the Crown Princess.
"The status of the Crown Princess is crucial, as it relates to the purity of the royal bloodline and the stability and prosperity of the country, right?" Wang Xinyao continued.
Zhao Guoan agreed and said, "Of course, the person my son marries must be a genuine Miao princess, there is no doubt about that.
If you can really find evidence to prove that Miss Gou is not worthy of her reputation, then their engagement should be annulled.
Because the Crown Princess can only be a Miao princess, and the future Empress can only be a Miao princess!"
After receiving such a positive reply from the emperor, Wang Xinyao secretly made up her mind to uncover the mystery and get to the bottom of the matter.
Wang Xinyao lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and fell into a brief contemplation.
After a moment, she took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind.
He raised his head again and looked at the emperor with a firm gaze.
She mustered up her courage and said, "I am willing to fulfill your majesty's trust and will do my utmost to resolve this drought. I will never let your majesty down.
At the same time, I also support the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess of Miao.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truly loves the Miao princess, I will have no objection and sincerely wish them a happy marriage.
However, what if this Miss Gou is not the real Miao princess and the prince has no good feelings towards her?
Then, Your Majesty, could you please grant me your request and grant me the title of Crown Princess?
As for my identity and how to explain it to the people, I have already made up my mind and will handle it properly. I will never let Your Majesty worry about this matter!
Your Majesty has been speaking so openly with me today, and I think you are concerned that I may not be willing to be inferior to others.
But as long as the identity of the Miao princess is true and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in love with her.
Even if I am only a concubine, I will certainly have no complaints." After saying this, Wang Xinyao stood up and bowed respectfully.
Hearing this, Zhao Guoan was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha..." Zhao Guoan's hearty and heroic laughter echoed throughout the palace.
"Miss Wang, you are truly courageous! You are the first person in history who has dared to discuss terms with me so directly!"
He smiled and looked at the woman in front of him with admiration. She seemed weak but was actually strong and resolute.
At this moment, Zhao Guoan only felt that communicating with such a smart and straightforward person was a great success.
It was really pleasing: "Well, since Miss Wang is so straightforward, I will agree to your request!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile.
It seems that the emperor's anger is not as terrible as imagined.
At this time, Wang Xinyao smiled slightly and took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her arms.
She slowly walked up to Zhao Guoan, then bowed slightly and handed the porcelain bottle over:
"Your Majesty, this is the longevity elixir that I have been meticulously refining recently."
Wang Xinyao introduced it softly, her words revealing full confidence and pride.
Then, she looked up at Zhao Guoan and continued:
"Your Majesty, after taking this pill, you won't achieve immortality, and you won't necessarily live to 200 years old, but living to 100 years old shouldn't be a problem!"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, which made people intoxicated.
However, at this moment, Wang Xinyao sighed softly, and a trace of imperceptible shyness flashed across her face.
She murmured to herself in a voice that she could hear: "Oh, forget it, just consider it as a daughter-in-law's early filial piety to her father-in-law."
After she finished speaking, her pretty face instantly turned red like a rosy cloud.
Zhao Guoan was overjoyed when he saw the bottle of medicine. He stared at the porcelain bottle with wide eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Just as he was about to reach out to take the porcelain bottle with joy, suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the door.
"Let me in..." It turned out to be Zhao Haoxuan's voice, which sounded quite anxious.
"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this! His Majesty has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb us!" This was followed by the anxious and helpless voice of Eunuch Xu who tried to stop us.
"No, this prince must go in! Father, father, your son requests to see you!" Zhao Haoxuan did not back down and continued to shout loudly.
The sound grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the palace.
"This bastard, he dared to run out even though he was under house arrest. Isn't this going to give others a handle on him?"
Zhao Guoan was originally very happy because he got the longevity elixir, but now his good mood was wiped out.
It seems that this son was raised in vain.
They just called Wang Xinyao in for questioning, but didn't do anything to her.
He couldn't wait to come over to me and make trouble despite being under house arrest.
He really doesn't take the imperial edict from his father seriously.
I may not care about it, but that doesn't mean those old guys in the court who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality won't target me.
Zhao Guoan shouted at the door: "Xu De, let him in!"
Zhao Haoxuan pushed open the door and hurried in. Seeing Wang Xinyao sitting there safely, he was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he bowed to Zhao Guoan. "Father, I have something to report."
After saying that, Zhao Haoxuan didn't forget to steal a glance at Wang Xinyao.
Zhao Guoan took it all in and snorted coldly, "Why are you so anxious?"
Zhao Haoxuan took a deep breath and said, "Father, I know you summoned Xinyao here today because of the Miao princess, but I beg you not to make things difficult for her.
"I have long admired Xinyao and wish to be with her for life. I don't want her to suffer any injustice."
Wang Xinyao blushed slightly when she heard this.
Zhao Guoan's face darkened, "I have just reached an agreement with Miss Wang.
As long as she can solve the drought problem and prove that Miss Gou is not a princess of the Miao Kingdom, and that you do not like Miss Gou, I can grant her the position of Crown Princess.
The deadline is one year, but during this year, you cannot avoid Miss Gou, otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything."
Zhao Haoxuan's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang Xinyao, who gave him a firm look in return.
Zhao Haoxuan turned to Zhao Guoan and said, "Don't worry, Father. I will obey your orders. Even if it's ten years, not to mention one year, I won't like Miss Gou."
"Xuan'er, you are still under house arrest. You are not allowed to leave the room for five days." Zhao Guoan said helplessly: "Even if you want to go out at night, you must not let anyone know. At the same time, you must pay attention to your own safety!"
He waved his hand in disdain again: "Okay, all of you go down, I'm tired."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Father. I will take my leave!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave!"
The two of them left the imperial study, Zhao Haoxuan returned to the Prince's Palace, and Wang Xinyao still went out of the palace accompanied by Xiao Xizi!
