"So Xue Ye agreed to let Ye Lingling join Wuhun Palace, but he wanted her to become your crown princess?"

Fan Yun, who was stroking the soft black hair of the big cat in his arms and flexibly moving her chin with a few fingers, was in sharp contrast to the big cat's half-squinted eyes and full of enjoyment. It was extremely wonderful.

In the prince's study, looking at Xue Qinghe, who had a calm face, Fan Yun raised his eyebrows very vividly, with a look of surprise and a little joy and excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, that's it. You don't need me to tell you the reason, right?"

Calmly picking up the Xingluo tea on the table, Xue Qinghe smelled the fragrance, took a sip, and spoke in a calm tone as if he didn't notice Fan Yun's expression.

"That's not necessary. I can probably understand why, but I didn't expect that your royal family would choose to use this method." Fan Yun shook his head slightly.

The big cat in his arms, after being teased a few times by Fan Yun and letting out a few slight moans, seemed to remember that there was an outsider next to him. He pulled it out of his arms a few times and sat down next to his feet.

He went up, coughed twice, and put on a dignified appearance.

Without making any move to stop the big cat, Fan Yun opened his arms and let the big cat out.

The Ye family's most important resource is none other than the invincible Jiuxin Begonia.

For the Tiandou royal family, the most important thing they want to keep is not the people of the Ye family, but the martial spirit of Jiuxin Haitang.

Only two Nine-Hearted Begonias can exist at the same time. This is an iron rule that has been confirmed over the years. Currently, the only owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit is Ye Lingling, and the other is the Ye family.

An elderly grandmother.

The old grandmother of the Ye family is now old, and the Nine-Hearted Begonia, which symbolizes healing and life, cannot stop human aging and death.

According to the imperial doctor in the palace and herself, the current grandmother of the Ye family can live in this world for less than ten years at most.

In other words, the next owner of Jiuxin Begonia will most likely be Ye Lingling's child.

The Tiandou royal family has great kindness to the Ye family. It can be said that if it were not for the Tiandou royal family, the Ye family of Jiuxin Begonia would have perished many years ago, but in many cases, the blessings are not without reason.

The Tiandou royal family is willing to protect the Ye family despite the pressure of the great priest of the Wuhun Palace, largely because of the Wuhun of Jiuxin Haitang.

No one can live a life without illness and disaster, and Jiuxin Haitang, with its extraordinary healing ability, can handle and treat most injuries and illnesses.

By being affiliated with the Ye family, the Tiandou royal family can also gain the invisible goodwill of many people and forces.

Therefore, the Tiandou royal family will never give up Jiuxin Haitang to anyone easily, even if the target is Wuhun Palace, which they desperately need to unite with at this stage.

But if Ye Lingling and Xue Qinghe were united in marriage, many things would be easily solved.

The first is the issue of Jiuxin Begonia. If Ye Lingling and Xue Qinghe marry, then their child will naturally be the prince of the Tiandou Empire. In this way, after the death of the old grandmother of the Ye family, the next owner of Jiuxin Begonia will naturally be Tiandou.

Fighting against the royal family.

In this way, the Tiandou royal family still has the Nine-Hearted Begonia, and compared to the original Ye family's Nine-Hearted Begonia, the prince's possession of the Nine-Hearted Begonia is undoubtedly more useful to the Tiandou Royal Family.

In addition, after Ye Lingling joined Wuhun Palace as an individual, the significance of her becoming the Crown Princess of Tiandou was not only to continue the bloodline and Jiuxin Haitang for the royal family, but also meant the political marriage and alliance between Wuhun Palace and the Tiandou Empire.

.

For Xue Ye, the result of forming an alliance with Wuhun Palace is more important than obtaining Jiuxin Begonia.

If an alliance is reached, then at least in Xue Qinghe's generation, the empire will not be trampled by Xing Luo's iron hoof, and in the next generation, Xue Ye believes in Xue Qinghe's ability.

"Speaking of which, Your Highness, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask."

As his eyes rolled, a strange but necessary worry (gossip) appeared in Fan Yun's heart.

Shaking his head slightly, Xue Qinghe looked at the malicious young man in white opposite him and said, "If I said it shouldn't be done, would you not ask?"

"Hehe~"

Stretching out a hand, Fan Yun smiled and touched the back of his head, and then said: "Most likely not."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Xue Qinghe then spoke: "In that case, why do you still need to ask questions like whether it should be done or not? Just ask directly."

Leaning forward slightly, Fan Yun moved his body towards Xue Qinghe. There was no one else in the study, only him, Da Mao and Xue Qinghe, so there was no need to be so avoidant about certain situations.

"Based on your situation, Your Highness, if you get married to Ye Lingling, can you have sex? Your identity will not be exposed by then, right?"

Fan Yun frowned and asked this somewhat presumptuous sentence.

Although it is a bit overstepping the mark, when it comes to the identity of "Xue Qinghe" and the plans of Wuhun Palace, one has to be cautious.

Faced with Fan Yun's presumptuous question, Xue Qinghe's expression remained unchanged. It seems that apart from being told that his identity was exposed, Xue Qinghe rarely "breaks his defense" because of other things.

"This is indeed an issue worth considering. If Ye Lingling and I really get married, the identity of 'Xue Qinghe' will indeed be easily exposed."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem. The Tiandou royal family always has many requirements and regulations when it comes to spouses. Men and women are not allowed to combine before marriage, especially when it comes to the situation of a prince and a princess.

.”

After thinking about what he knew, Fan Yun nodded.

Although the Tiandou royal family does not place many requirements on the "emotional partners" of royal members and tacitly allows the royal members to find these "partners" to deal with some problems, it is still very strict when it comes to formal spouses.

According to Fan Yun's understanding, in the Tiandou royal family's marriage, after the royal family members choose their official spouse for the rest of their lives, they will hold a formal engagement ceremony with them and enter into an engagement relationship. Then they will enter an inspection period of at least three years to test the relationship between the two parties.

Whether it is "emotionally" suitable or not, we can discuss the formal marriage ceremony after confirming it.

And the marriage review period of the previous Tiandou princes is almost the longest among the royal families. Before the formal marriage, the engaged parties are not allowed to have sex.

It seems that it is for this reason that the age gap between Emperor Tiandou and Prince Tiandou is often "slightly" larger than that between an ordinary father and son.

"The royal family has strict rules. One of them requires that both men and women must be over twenty when they get married. Although I am old enough, Ye Lingling is still several years younger. In other words, including the years between her and twenty

And the so-called investigation period, now there are at least five years left before my marriage with her is consummated."

"This time is neither long nor short. It's enough for us to do a lot of things, isn't it?"

Looking at Fan Yun who was thoughtful, Xue Qinghe asked back.

After pondering for a while, Fan Yun subconsciously reached out and touched the head of the big cat sitting beside him, and nodded. As His Majesty's "confidant" and the Cardinal Archbishop of Wuhun Palace, Fan Yun does know the future of Wuhun Palace.

Many deployments.

Five years later...it seems it's almost time to make that big move...

"Five years...this time is indeed enough time to do a lot of things..."
