Marrying at such a young age is against the law.

  The expression of Princess Xuefen was very rich, she first felt joyful and then became displeased. The joy was because Qianyu Xian was going to become her sister-in-law forever and could accompany her all the time. The displeasure was because in her eyes, Yan Yi and Qianyu Xian were the real couple, so why did she have to marry her own older brother now?

  Suddenly a piercing voice sounded behind Snow White, with a tone of reproach, "Now you think of me, this old man? The previous wonderful match didn't even know to call me to watch."

  The empress dowager, dressed in fiery red clothes, appeared in everyone's line of sight, walking with a noble pace to the front of Qian Yu Xian, looking at Qian Yu Xian with a kind expression, and reached out her hand to touch Qian Yu Xian's standard melon-shaped face.

  "A beauty that can overthrow a city, born with a face like the mother of a nation."

  The empress's warm temperature brought the wandering Qi back to its senses, and her bright, watery eyes stared straight at the empress's aged face. Her hair was styled in a simple yet elegant manner, with a jade pin inserted at an angle, a jade belt wrapped around her arm, and a subtle fragrance wafting around her. Her face was as delicate as a peach blossom and as radiant as snow on a clear day, while her eyes shone like bright pearls and sparkled like spring water. One could still see the majestic and noble air she possessed in her youth. Qianyu Xian bit her red lips gently and spoke in a soft voice:

  "But I don't have the demeanor of a mother of a nation."

  The empress dowager frowned, looking at Qian Yu Xian with a displeased expression. As the empress dowager, how could she not know about Qian Yu Xian and Yan Yi's matters? But how could she possibly allow Yan Yi and Qian Yu Xian to truly be together? Both of them were extraordinary people who had received the prophecy of the Sleeping Dragon Monk. If they were to come together, wouldn't Tian Qi Country become their world? The empress dowager asked in a cold tone with a piercing voice:

  "What's the meaning of this?"

  Not only was the Empress Dowager's face unpleasant, but even Nan Gong Yi's face looked terrible. After all, as the ruler of a country, he had personally promised to complete the marriage at an auspicious time, but Qian Yu Xian didn't take it seriously. Whose face would look good?

  Nangong Yu's face had already darkened by half, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.

  Qianyu Xian swallowed her saliva and continued in a weak voice, "I don't really like having multiple wives..." This was the truth but also Qianyu Xian's excuse for breaking off the engagement. She didn't believe that Nan Gong Yu would give up on marrying her just because he didn't like her, someone who was only meant to strengthen the country.

  The empress frowned, her eyes like shining pearls looking at Qianyu Xian with a worldly air, and said, "Qianyu Xian, I understand your feelings. When I married the late emperor, I also thought about not allowing him to have three wives and four concubines. But after becoming the mother of the country, I learned the demeanor that a mother of the country should have. So, Qianyu Xian, you will learn to let go in the future."

  Qianyu Xian slightly furrowed her eyebrows, looking at the Empress Dowager with a hint of unease. Her bright, watery eyes blinked twice before she swallowed hard and spoke in a weak voice:

  "No, I really don't like having multiple wives and concubines...and besides, I'm only 14 years old now, getting married at such a young age is against the law in my country..."

  Qian Yu Xian Yue said in a softer voice, because she saw the Empress's face becoming increasingly displeased. The pearl-like eyes seemed to reveal that at this moment, she even had a feeling of killing Qian Yu Xian.

  Nan Gong Yi's face was displeased as he spoke, "Yu Xian, you mean to say that you don't want to get married? What is wrong with the law? I am the ruler of this country, who dares to say anything against you? You and Hui Er have been betrothed since childhood, it's only a matter of time before you get married."

  Qianyu Xianbe bit her red lips, looking at the two great Buddhas in front of her, feeling a sudden surge of powerlessness. If it were anyone else, that would be fine, but these two people were the Emperor and Empress Dowager, who could have her dragged away and executed at any moment. No matter how big her temper was, she didn't dare to argue with them.

  Nangong Xian's face turned black as he looked at Qianyu Xian's embarrassed expression, and he spoke up to relieve the situation, "Qianyu Xian, you don't want to get married so early because you're afraid that I will control you everywhere in the future, right? No wonder, Qianyu Xian doesn't like being restricted. I promise you, I won't restrict you."

  "No! I..." Qian Yu Xian immediately denied it, but then didn't know what to say, and weakly closed her bright and shining eyes.
