Chapter 283 Ji Wan vs. Ulihan (The End)
When Feng Han heard that Ji Wan had actually taken the initiative to propose to marry Wulihan, this "hot potato," she was momentarily stunned.
It wasn't until the Third Princess Feng Qing's excited and relieved voice suddenly rang out that her wandering thoughts were abruptly pulled back:
"Mother Empress! Since Ji Wan likes that... cough... nineteenth prince, let's not break them up."
Feng Qing was about to call him "Big Bear," but when she met Feng Han's warning look, she swallowed the rest of her words and quickly corrected herself.
Feng Han seemed not to hear Feng Qing's words and first turned her gaze to Grand Tutor Ji.
Although the old tutor Ji's face was full of undisguised surprise, he did not show the slightest objection.
She was slightly relieved and turned to look at Ulihan, who had been silent all along, and asked gently, "Nineteenth Prince, what do you think?"
"..." Feng Qing was worried that Ulihan had taken a liking to her, and was about to speak again, but was stopped by Feng Han's gaze.
She was already struggling to keep up with Qin Shi alone; if she were to add the even more robust Ulihan to the mix, her delicate frame would be overwhelmed…
Fortunately, Ulihan seemed to have no interest in Feng Qing. He stood up straight, bowed respectfully to Feng Han, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask her a few questions. Is that alright?"
Feng Han's gaze shifted back and forth between Ji Wan and Wulihan, secretly thinking: If these two could truly form a good relationship, that would be wonderful.
Ji Wan is honest and simple-minded, and extremely loyal to Fengming Kingdom. His pairing with Wulihan is reassuring.
It's better than marrying the Crown Princess or Lin Shu!
After all, as the crown princess, if she were to have an heir with the bloodline of the Northern Wilderness with Ulihan, it would be hard to guarantee that the Northern Wilderness would not covet her.
Lin Shu's mother, Ling Huanan, commands an army of 300,000 and is stationed outside the Northern Wilderness. Even if she trusts Ling Huanan completely, she really doesn't dare to gamble on this game.
Therefore, it would be the best course of action for Ulihan to form a marriage alliance with Ji Wan.
Thinking this, Feng Han's gaze fell on Ulihan again.
I had heard Ling Huanan mention before that the nineteenth prince was exceptionally intelligent, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved.
A person who has the courage to cooperate with foreign powers, can withdraw unscathed after the success, leaves no room for criticism from the Northern Wilderness court, and decisively takes the initiative to come for a marriage alliance is truly remarkable.
"Your Majesty?" The imperial attendant, seeing that Feng Han had not responded for a long time, took the opportunity to go forward to refill his tea and gently reminded him.
Feng Han then came to her senses and looked at Ulihan, who was still bowing with one hand in front of his chest. She quickly replied, "Of course, please do as you please, Nineteenth Prince."
Ulihan then straightened up, his eyes blazing as he stared directly at Ji Wan and asked, "This young lady says she wants to marry me, does she have feelings for me?"
"Yes." Ji Wan gave an affirmative answer without the slightest hesitation.
However, hearing the other person's slightly distant and seemingly aloof way of addressing her, she felt a strange unease welling up inside her. After all, the past few months that the other person had been away had made her see her own heart clearly.
A hint of warmth flashed in Ulihan's eyes, but he quickly regained his seriousness and asked, "If I, the prince, were to marry you, then you could not marry anyone else! So, Miss Ji, would you still be willing to marry me?"
Ji Wan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Although she had never considered marrying anyone other than Ulihan at this moment, the years were long, and she was afraid that if she agreed, she would not be able to keep her promise. For a moment, she was hesitant to make a promise.
Before she could answer, the surrounding officials couldn't sit still any longer, and they all began to indignantly criticize her.
"This, how can this be allowed? It is the natural order and morality for a woman to have three husbands and four servants..."
"Yes... how can a man be so jealous..."
"...The people of the Northern Wilderness are so barbaric, no wonder no one dares to marry them!"
"..."
While still pondering, Ji Wan listened to the murmurs around her and saw the light in Ulihan's eyes gradually dimming. For some reason, she impulsively blurted out, "I'll marry him!"
As soon as she said it, she instinctively wanted to raise her hand to cover her mouth, but then she thought that the other person might already be pregnant with her child, so she felt that it wouldn't hurt to give in a little.
At worst, I'll just go home immediately after my shift ends, strictly forbid any men from getting close to me, and be strict with myself...
Little did she know that this casual thought would become a self-fulfilling prophecy. For the next few decades, Ulihan would pick her up from her shift almost every day and keep a close watch on her.
And she found joy in spending time with him day after day.
As Ji Wan's thoughts drifted, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Ulihan's stomach, thinking to herself: She doesn't look pregnant.
It seems I'll have to work harder in the future. But thinking about the other person's astonishing size and terrifying stamina, I can't help but feel discouraged, realizing I've spoken too quickly...
While she was lost in thought, there was another round of discussion around her, but this time it was all about feeling sorry for Ji Wan. Some even went so far as to approach the old Grand Tutor Ji and ask her to advise him not to make a mistake.
Just as she was lost in thought, another round of chatter broke out around her.
This time, however, everyone felt sorry for Ji Wan.
Even more extreme, some people went up to Grand Tutor Ji and advised her to persuade her granddaughter not to make a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Ji first thanked everyone for their "kindness," and then said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
What a joke! As someone who's been through it all, how could she not see the feelings between her granddaughter and that prince of the Northern Wilderness?
What's more, that brat Ji Wan has been looking dejected and listless for the past few months, like a wilted eggplant, but today she came to the palace banquet not only dressed up carefully, but also so proactively...
Thinking this, Grand Tutor Ji glanced at Ulihan without making a sound.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction: Not bad! Look at his strong and robust physique, he's clearly in excellent health, and his future great-grandson will surely be strong and healthy!
Ignoring the opinions of others, Ulihan, upon hearing the answer he had long awaited, suppressed his joy, respectfully knelt on one knee, and solemnly said to Feng Han:
"Miss Ji, we humbly request Your Majesty to bear witness to what you have said today. Furthermore, we earnestly request Empress Fengming to grant us marriage!"
Feng Han was very pleased to see that the two of them really liked each other.
The emperor immediately ordered an imperial decree to be drafted to grant the marriage, and also made it a witness that Ji Wan would only marry Ulihan, which was equivalent to blocking Ji Wan's path to remarriage!
Normally, the wedding date should be determined jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau according to established procedures.
But Ulihan didn't care at all and declined on the spot.
The next day, he had Ji Wan, along with the matchmaker, carry an eight-bearer sedan chair to the post station in a lively procession to bring him back to the Grand Tutor's residence.
Thus, Ulihan was finally able to live a shameless and blissful sexual life with Ji Wan!
