Anyone else would have been trembling in fear after being ignored for so long, unsure when the Emperor’s wrath would erupt upon them.

But this rascal? He didn’t mistreat himself one bit, ate when he was hungry, drank when he was thirsty.

Just seeing him made Emperor Jingxuan furious.

“You’ve got quite the nerve, daring to return to the capital without my decree!”

Wei Ting clasped his hands respectfully and replied, “Your Majesty, my old ancestor appeared in my dream and……”

Emperor Jingxuan cut him off, “Speak in a language that humans can comprehend!”

Wei Ting said plainly, “I was wrong, Your Majesty. I just wanted to come back.”

Emperor Jingxuan: Heh!

He really couldn’t understand it. From Old General Wei at the oldest to the youngest, the sixth young master of the Wei, the entire Wei family was known for being upright and loyal military men. So how did it all fall apart when it got to Wei Ting? Just looked at how brazen he was!  

Did this kid have no shame at all?

Emperor Jingxuan’s tone carried imperial authority as he said, “What happened to your backbone? Or are you finally agreeing to marry the princess?”

Wei Ting sighed, “I haven’t agreed. Her Highness is a noble jewel and……”

Emperor Jingxuan coldly interrupted, “Don’t you dare say you’re not worthy of her!”

Wei Ting seriously responded, “I wouldn’t say that at all. Her Highness is a noble jewel, so of course she’s worthy of me.”

Listen to what he just said, what utter nonsense!

He made it sound like Princess Hui’an was the one marrying up!

Eunuch Fu broke out in a cold sweat.

Lord Wei, you are truly fearless …… 

Wei Ting smoothly shifted the topic, “But, Your Majesty, I feel no romantic affection for Princess Hui’an. A forced melon is never sweet*.” 

*Forced melon is never sweet (强扭的瓜不甜) : A common Chinese idiom meaning forced relationships never work.  

Emperor Jingxuan said sternly, “You can marry her first, and after some time, you’ll naturally come to appreciate her!”   

Princess Hui’an was the most beautiful princess in the imperial family, she was graceful and talented. 

The Emperor simply refused to believe that any man could remain indifferent to such a peerless beauty after spending time with her.  

Wei Ting didn’t argue further. Instead, he said solemnly, “Moreover, the northern invaders haven’t been eliminated, and the coastal pirates still run rampant. I still wish to continue serving Your Majesty for a few more years.” 

This was practically saying, ‘I don’t want to surrender my military power.’   

What Emperor Jingxuan truly thought remained unknown.  

In any case, a quarter of an hour later, Wei Ting walked out of the imperial study completely unharmed.  

The secret guard, who was now practically undisguised, hurriedly stepped forward with an umbrella. 

“Young Master, did His Majesty give you trouble? You’ve been locked up inside all day!”  

Wei Ting replied calmly, “Correction, I was waiting for a day.”  

Being ‘locked up’ just sounded way too embarrassing, okay? 

The secret guard said, “Oh. Well… then did His Majesty order you to go back to the temple?”   

Wei Ting: “No.”   

The secret guard, delighted: “Does that mean you don’t have to be a monk anymore?” 

Wei Ting declared arrogantly, “Of course not. This young master… has left the monastic life!”

“Xichao gege*!” 

*Gege (哥哥) : Older brother. 

Not far away, Princess Hui’an, dressed in elegant lake-blue palace robes, rushed toward Wei Ting through the rain.  

A palace maid held up an oil-paper umbrella for her.  

The scene was like something out of a painting, beautiful and serene.  

In an instant, Wei Ting put on a holy expression, as if he was bathed in a divine glow, with hands pressed together in prayer, “Amitabha. Benefactor, this humble monk’s Dharma name is Xuanxin.” 

The secret guard: “……” 

Princess Hui’an: “……” 

——  

After Wei Ting left the palace, Princess Hui’an returned to Qixiang Palace, her heart full of grievances.  

She threw herself into Consort Xian’s arms, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears. “Mother Consort… The Imperial Father is too much……”  

Consort Xian wrapped her arms around her delicate daughter and asked with amusement, “What has your father done now to upset you?”   

In this world, only Princess Hui’an would dare speak so boldly about the Emperor. 

None of the other children would ever dare criticize His Majesty, but who could blame her when she was the Emperor’s favorite?
