Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 278 I've long admired Ali.

Tuoba Yi felt that he was indeed a dying man.

Why do we even have to discuss the betrothal gifts? Isn't this forcing him to be killed by the King of Mo?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this... this important matter of marriage must be discussed with Father Emperor in person after we return to the country..."

“That is indeed the case.” The Empress nodded, interrupting him again: “However, since both sides are present today, His Majesty can write a letter to your Emperor to explain the situation. But with Ali here today, the Third Prince cannot miss such a good opportunity.”

Tuoba Yi's face was all smiles, but his heart was full of tears.

Is the Empress determined to bring about this "good match" today?

Chu Yueli didn't say anything, but the way she looked at him was as if she was watching a good show.

Is she really not in a hurry?

Tuoba Yi was extremely anxious and kept trying to wink at her, but she only smiled faintly and even gave him a provocative glance.

You must bear the consequences of your own actions.

She's really not in a hurry.

“Miss Li, then… are you willing…” A cold gaze swept over him, and Tuoba Yi’s neck tightened, clearly feeling his neck become extremely vulnerable in an instant.

Can't ask.

Asking this question put pressure on Chu Yueli, which was not the behavior of a true man.

Of course, the most direct consequence of doing this is that the dead man will actually kill him; this is no joke.

"Um, I...I think..."

He, the dignified Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, was not only a peerless hero but also a man of considerable stature. Yet today, he was forced to the point where he couldn't even finish his sentence!

He really didn't know what to say. Someone, please help him!

"Could it be that the Third Prince has some unspeakable secret?" The Emperor frowned.

"I really do..."

"The Eastern Zhou royal family has not experienced any sorrow in the past two years, so I suppose the Third Prince should not have any unspeakable difficulties." Once again, the Empress completely blocked Tuoba Yi's escape route.

She smiled and said, "Besides, the fact that the Third Prince took the initiative to say that he wanted to marry Ali means that he had already arranged everything. A dignified Third Prince wouldn't act on impulse, would he?"

"Yes, that's right... That's correct." Tuoba Yi just wanted to disappear into thin air. Was there really no one who could solve this problem for him today?

The key point is that on that day, it was indeed an impulsive act to see Lu Beimo's reaction.

If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?

"Then, what doubts does the Third Prince still have?" At this moment, even the Emperor could see that Tuoba Yi was not sincere about this matter.

At this moment, the emperor's face was extremely ugly!

Such a major event as a marriage alliance cannot be treated lightly. How could the Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty treat the girl from Dongling so badly?

"Third Prince, could it be that you're taking advantage of Ali's lack of parents to make decisions for her, and you're trying to tease her like this? Do you think I don't exist? How can Ali be bullied like this by you?"

With a loud thud, the cup in the emperor's hand slammed heavily onto the table.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and for a moment, they were so shocked that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Tuoba Yi was in a state of extreme distress. If he continued to refuse at this moment, it would truly be unbecoming of a great man.

If he were to refuse this marriage today, he would be personally destroying the last bit of Chu Yueli's reputation.

After being jilted twice, Chu Yueli's future is sealed.

Public opinion can completely drown her.

Tuoba Yi took a deep breath, and finally, steeling his resolve, said, "I truly do have feelings for Miss Li..."

Chu Yueli smiled calmly, seeing that the matter was almost settled, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, someone beat her to it and took the job.

"Father."

From the lower seat, the tall and imposing figure stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your subject has long admired A-Li and wishes to marry her. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request!"
