"Xijiu, I know you don't like Rong Chu, but if the Emperor were to bestow a marriage to you, you can't reject it as an official. I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
"What idea?" Gu Xijiu frowned.
"In fact, my father is also urging me to get married. Just like you, I don't want to get married. Why don't we put on a show? If my father really wants to bestow a marriage to you during the banquet, I'll ask him to bestow a marriage to me …"
Rong Jialuo raised his head and looked at Gu Xijiu's bright eyes, "Don't worry, even if we are engaged, it's just a show for outsiders. You're still free, and I won't force you to do anything. If you have someone you like in the future, I'll fulfill his wish and find a way to dissolve this marriage."
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Gu Xijiu remained silent for a moment. On this continent, unless one was at the level of Di Fuyi and the rest, the land under the heavens belonged to the king. The imperial power was as great as the sky. Once the imperial decree was issued, no one would dare to disobey it.
If the Emperor were to bestow a marriage during the banquet, she might not be able to disobey it directly.
However, she was the disciple of The Lord, and even if the Emperor was angry, he would not sentence her to death.
Moreover, she was going to the Dark Forest, and she would not come out with this identity. What was there to be afraid of?
Rong Jialuo seemed to know what she was thinking and sighed, "Xijiu, you're the disciple of The Lord. If you disobey the Emperor's edict, my father won't kill you, but he will make things difficult for your family. If it's serious, your whole family might be executed …"
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
Because of her, a few hundred people in the General's residence would die …
It was not a good deal!
Gu Xijiu thought of the servants who served her wholeheartedly. They were loyal to her, and she could not disregard their lives!
It was better for her to agree to Rong Jialuo's request …
She finally agreed, but she had to be frank, "Your Highness, I only treat you as my friend. In the future, no matter whether I can get out of the Dark Forest or not, the marriage will still be canceled."
Rong Jialuo's eyes dimmed a little, but he nodded and said, "Of course. I said that I won't restrict you and the engagement can be dissolved at any time. If you don't believe me, I can write you a document to dissolve the engagement now, and you can use it at any time."
There was no reason for Gu Xijiu to disagree. "Alright! Let's play it by ear at the banquet. "
To make the scene more realistic, Rong Jialuo took out a watery jade bracelet and handed it to her, "Xijiu, this is a keepsake."
At first glance, one could tell that the bracelet was not an ordinary object. Its quality was even better than the best jadeite in the old pit. It was like a pool of water in the palm, and there was even spiritual power flashing on it.
The Firmament Stone, who had been silent all this while, excitedly explained, "Master, this is a spiritual bracelet! Wearing it could increase one's spiritual power, beautify one's skin, and maintain one's youthfulness. It had always been a gift from the Empress to the Crown Princess … There was only one in the entire Feixing Kingdom! You can take it. It's also good for the spots on your face. It might even fade completely — "
It kept talking in Gu Xijiu's mind. After listening to it, Gu Xijiu replied, "Well, at least it looks better than you."
The Firmament Stone, "…!!!"
Its original appearance was much cooler than this spiritual bracelet! Was it not because of her request that it become so ugly?!
