Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

281 Allow the Crown Prince to marry

Xiaoming looked at his mother, who stood up from her seat and walked up to Xiaoming. He thought it would be tough for him to convince his mother, but the opposite happened. Zhu Liling wanted the King to let Xiaoming marry Liu Jin Yu.

Lóng Wei smiled in amusement while keeping his gaze fixed at Xiuying whom he wanted to see explode in anger.

Xiuying loved to demean everyone around her, but she hardly looked at herself. The way she would look down on people made Lóng Wei sick all the time. Today was the best chance for him to show Xiuying her place. Just because she got King’s favor didn’t mean that she ever helped him in the Kingdom.

“I remember years ago Father was injured during his return journey from a famous Buddhist Shrine. The Second Mother had followed him, but she didn’t even know about medicinal treatment. The second mother loves to look down at other women while she fails to see what she is!” Xiuying and the King were irked by Lóng Wei’s remarks.

“Lóng Wei, you are crossing your limits. You should not disrespect Noble Consort Xiuying this way,” Qiu Zedong sternly said.

“Forgive me if I disrespected her. However, Father must not ignore what she says to the other women. She disrespected my wife many times, thinking Li Hua is not from a noble family. “It’s not wise for the second mother to think negatively of others while holding such a high position after the Queen,” Lóng Wei said. Xiuying glared at him and clenched her fists.

“I agree with Brother Lóng Wei. The earlier remark wasn’t good. Liu Jin Yu isn’t weird. She is of a strong character. Such a personality, I never found in any woman. Just like the Royal Father fought for his love when he wanted his Noble Consort in his life, I will do the same,” Xiaoming announced.

Qiu Zedong was stuck now. He could not believe that in the future, his eldest son would use such a thing against him. Xiuying indeed wasn’t from a powerful family, but he was adamant about having her in his life.

“Your Majesty, as the Queen, I would like to make a request,” Zhu Liling said.

.....

“Please say, My Queen,” Qiu Zedong allowed her to make the request.

“Liu Jin Yu isn’t suitable to become the Crown Princess in many eyes. However, she surpassed many women who always dreamt of becoming the wife of my son. She saved the life of the Crown Prince, and that was enough to show how capable she is. I will personally teach her the etiquette of being a noble woman. So, I request His Majesty to allow Crown Prince Xiaoming to marry Liu Jin Yu.”

Xiaoming was stunned to hear the words of his mother. He could not explain the immense happiness he felt at that moment. His mother finally understood him. He was so wrong about his mother.

“Does the Queen know what she is saying?” Qiu Zedong questioned her.

“I know, Your Majesty,” Zhu Liling answered, and she lifted her eyes to look at him.

“The Crown Prince had always done what he was told to. This is the first time, I saw him asking for something for himself. I want to see the Crown Prince happy. Kang Cha Ying questioned the capabilities of the Crown Prince without the support of a strong political family. Xiaoming can enhance his strength politically even without the support of a strong family,” she stated.

She had realised earlier, while sitting in her seat, that if she did not stand up for her son today, she would lose him, which she could not do. Indeed, Liu Jin Yu had no family, no support, but she had certain characteristics that were tough to find in a woman, especially the future Crown Princess.

“Father, the ministers should agree to the royalty. It should not be happening the opposite way. I believe the Crown Prince can show that even without the support of a strong family from his future wife’s side, he can be stronger,” Tianjie asserted. He found out that it would be best if he stood with Xiaoming. The other three princes and princesses didn’t either refrain from supporting the Crown Prince.

“Fine. I allow the Crown Prince to marry Liu Jin Yu,” Qiu Zedong announced, “but I want the Queen to look after her etiquette too. No matter how smart she is, she must know what a noble lady is! I put the concerned matter in the Queen’s hand. The next month, the Crown Prince will marry Liu Jin Yu.”

Xiaoming was thankful to his father. Tears appeared in his eyes. He thought it would take him days to convince his father, but with the support of his mother, the decision in his favor came today itself.

Qiu Zedong smiled and glanced at Lóng Wei. If he had not brought the matter of Xiuying, the King would not have agreed to this marriage. He didn’t want his sons to hate him, so he allowed Xiaoming to marry Liu Jin Yu.

“The tea has got cold, and again we took a lot of time to discuss familial matters,” Qiu Zedong said. “I hope from tomorrow, the tea session will go in peace,” he added, glancing at Lóng Wei.

“I understand, Royal Father,” Lóng Wei stated.

Xiaoming stood up and continued to smile.

Qiu Zedong stood up, and so did the others. He left, followed by Xiuying, whose mood was ruined because of Lóng Wei. Before leaving, she gave a glare to Lóng Wei, who smirked at her.

“I will see the Crown Prince after breakfast,” Zhu Liling said. Xiaoming thanked her before she left the hall.

“So, finally the Crown Prince will get married,” Qiu Mu said with a wide smile.

“Brother, you made it. I will also help Jin Yu with learning etiquette. I will also give her various beauty tips. She must look beautiful as she will be the next Crown Princess,” Jingfei told Xiaoming, who nodded at her. He thanked all of them for being with him.

He turned to Lóng Wei and opened his arms to hug him when Lóng Wei stepped back. “Maybe next time,” he stated.

“Why? You should hug the eldest brother,” Zhang Xi stated.

“I don’t want to. The Fifth Prince can take the hug at my place,” Lóng Wei said, and walked to Li Hua.

“Let’s go. I am hungry,” he held Li Hua’s hand and they both left the hall.

Xiaoming lowered his arms and could not stop smiling. He was happy that he waited for the right woman to come into his life.
