Qin Chuan had already seen the clues from Su Xiaxia's previous concern for Ji Tu. There is no doubt that Ji Tu, a literary and artistic young man with astonishing talents, is attracted to innocent lolita.
It was also a rare encounter, facing people who looked exactly the same, but Su Xiaxia's attitude was completely different.
"Love at first sight?" Qin Chuan asked again with a smile.
Su Xiaxia stuck out her tongue and said: "No, it's not as exaggerated as you said. At most, the impression is not bad, plus this lady's overflowing sympathy, you understand?"
Ji Tu originally had a short life due to physical reasons, so if Su Xiaxia really fell in love with this person, she would have to be ready to accept the sadness of losing this person at any time. Not to mention that Xia Yuji and Su Xiangwan were unwilling to accept it. Qin Chuan
Wouldn't agree either.
The short-lived love brought her unforgettable pain, which was too much gain.
But now it has been confirmed that Jitu's body is healthy. It was just because someone with ulterior motives blocked his heart. Now he has completely eliminated this hidden danger.
"It's not to the point where you have to be with him, right? Like talking about marriage." Qin Chuan asked Su Xiaxia seriously.
"No! But it should be to this extent: if he takes the initiative to pursue me, I may not refuse. Brother-in-law, do you think my mother will agree?" Su Xiaxia timidly asked Qin Chuan.
She knew in her heart that her mother wanted her to marry not a specific person, but the supreme ruler of Haran, and now this person was Ji Li.
The problem is that Geely is one of the people who participated in Ji Xing's conspiracy to seize the throne. He himself briefly became the king of Haran for a few days. This is treason and will face severe punishment. To put it bluntly, Ji Tu can only be regarded as a member of the Haran Kingdom now.
A high-level criminal.
"I won't agree, but when has your mother ever agreed to anything? I'm afraid your mother is still not 100% happy with Xiang Wan and I being together, right?" Qin Chuan said with a smile.
Xia Yuji is a woman who is very controlling, extremely picky, and pursues perfection. If Su Xiaxia was not married to the supreme ruler of the Haran Kingdom, it would be difficult to satisfy her, let alone a member of the royal family who committed heinous crimes.
"I'll check it for you first. If the person is trustworthy, I'll consider helping you connect." Qin Chuan said.
"Our secret!" Su Xiaxia said, stretching out her little finger to signal for Qin Chuan to hook up.
Qin Chuan laughed dryly and cooperated with Su Xiaxia.
Even Qin Chuan found the combination of Ji Tu, a melancholy prince, and Su Xiaxia, a soft and cute lolita, a bit inconsistent.
…
The next night, the banquet arranged by Geely was held as scheduled.
The king had just ascended the throne, and although the enthronement ceremony had not yet begun, all the important ministers within the Haran Kingdom already knew the fact that Geely would succeed the king.
The news more or less leaked out, and the people of Haran basically confirmed that the new king was auspicious, which was in line with the expectations of the people of Haran.
An emperor and a courtier, although the time to officially divide the ministers has not yet come, Geely showed no mercy to the key figures who helped Geely ascend to the throne this time.
Qinchuan was granted the title of the Protector Dragon Head of the Haran Kingdom and the title of Tianqing. In addition, Qinchuan was granted the title of Tiance Duke of the Haran Kingdom based on Qinchuan's title in China.
His assistant Po Dao was also granted the title of Dragon Riding God of War. As for the old man Guihai Eilai, he did not want the title and directly exchanged it for a Haran Kingdom Golden Lion Card, which allows him to spend as he pleases within the Haran Kingdom.
Lin Wanxi is the first wife of the Protector of the Country, the Duchess of Tiance, and concurrently serves as the Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Haran Kingdom and the chief partner of the Haran Consortium.
She has a high say in the industrial and commercial circles of Haran Kingdom from now on, and can cooperate with the Haran consortium on a global scale to carry out various business activities.
Qinchuan's national protector, Duke Tiance, although these are high-status titles, they do not really have much real power. In order to avoid suspicion and to avoid any rift with Geely, Qin Chuan will not ask Geely for anything.
real power.
However, Su Xiangwan's position was one of real power, and he held a pivotal position in the industrial and commercial circles of Haran Kingdom.
The person with the same status as Su Xiangwan is Tang Baoer. She is also the deputy minister of industry and commerce of the Haran Kingdom, and holds an important position in the Haran royal family consortium.
Geely is tantamount to handing over a considerable part of the power of the Haran Kingdom's industrial and commercial circles and the Haran royal family consortium to Su Xiangwan and Tang Baoer.
In addition, Tang Baoer officially returned to the Haran royal family. According to the rules, Tang Baoer should change her name to "Ya", but Geely gave her the privilege not to change her name according to the rules of the Haran royal family. She can still use her original name Tang Baoer, and she is Princess Baoer.
Moreover, there is a high probability that Tang Baoer will not stay in the Haran royal family. Of course, she will return to Longhai, China, and continue to run her tea club and live her small life.
"Xia Xia!"
Ji Li called Su Xiaxia softly and took the initiative to raise a glass to her. It seemed that it was her turn to be rewarded.
"ah?!"
Su Xiaxia laughed dryly, raised her glass in response and took a big sip of her drink. She drank so fast that she almost choked, and almost became embarrassed in front of everyone.
"Only your reward is something I haven't thought about yet. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Ji Li said to Su Xiaxia again.
"What does it have to do with me? How am I qualified to ask for it?" Su Xiaxia resisted.
Ji Li said: "If you can capture Jitu, you should bear the brunt of the credit. Of course you are qualified. Well, there is a beautiful island near Haran City. I will give this island to you. You can do it at any time as long as you are happy.
Come to Haran and become an island owner."
Xia Yuji was startled for a moment, and of course she heard Geely's intention.
The Kingdom of Haran is also a country where sovereignty is paramount, and every inch of territory must be fought for. Geely has just succeeded as king, how could he easily give away territory to others.
There is only one possibility. This territory was given to Ji Li's own people. Giving it to Su Xiaxia is actually his own.
Therefore, this is an auspicious way of proposing in disguise.
Such a arrogant girl would have fallen for other girls long ago. Su Xiaxia remained unmoved and was still immersed in regrets.
Because Ji Li mentioned Ji Tu, although Ji Tu violated the law of Haran Kingdom, Su Xiaxia always felt that she was the one who harmed Ji Tu.
How could she be in the mood to accept an auspicious reward?
"Your Majesty the King, are you really going to give me a reward?" Su Xiaxia said to Ji Li with her beautiful eyes flashing.
"Today is just a gathering of friends. Don't be so formal. Just tell me what you want and I will definitely promise you." Geely added.
Su Xiaxia said: "That's what you said, Jun Wuxiyan. I said what I want, so don't react too much: Can you pardon Ji Tu?"
"Xia Xia!" Xia Yuji frowned and called Su Xiaxia sternly, with a warning look in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Xia Xia is young and ignorant. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Xia Xia is young and ignorant. She only sees the brotherly relationship between Ji Li and Ji Tu. Little does she know that they are competitors for the throne and mortal enemies. Ji Tu has committed treason and should be punished by the laws of Haran Kingdom.
He is a sensitive nerve in Jili's heart. Where did Su Xiaxia get the courage to touch this nerve of his?
Besides, is this necessary? What reason does she have to plead for Ji Tu?
"Mom! What I said is true!"
"What the hell? Stop making such nonsense!" Xia Yuji frowned and ordered Su Xiaxia to shut up.
Su Xiaxia pursed her lips and could only look at Qin Chuan for help.
Qin Chuan also didn't expect that Su Xiaxia would be so direct and make such a request to Geely now.
"Why?"
Geely was indeed a little unhappy. In his eyes, the girl in front of him was very likely to become his future wife. What reason did she have to plead for a royal criminal from the Kingdom of Haran? Geely couldn't figure it out either.
"There is no reason, will you agree to me?" Su Xiaxia had already spoken out her words, so she simply went on with her will.
"Xia Xia, do you know what it means to make such a request in Haran Kingdom? But I won't argue with you, just pretend that I didn't say it." Geely said sternly, with a warning.
"Hmph! Geely, is it fun to scare the little girl? You have just become the king, and you are already so unpopular!" Along with a sarcastic voice, a person walked directly into the banquet hall.
