Chapter 1154: Whatever You Decide, I Support You
Feng Fuce said indifferently, "Being a Marquis Wan already gives one enough to worry about; it’s not feasible to take on another position in Great Qin."Even he rejected Long Xiyuan.
Long Xiyuan rubbed his brow and let out a helpless chuckle.
"I really have no way with you all. Fine—"
He was about to settle for the next best thing and ask Bai Zhi’er if she could become his scholar sibling.
Because he knew that the Princess Cui Cuo of Great Chu had apprenticed under the Six Kingdoms Master, Mo Yanchi.
If Bai Zhi’er was willing, he would find someone tomorrow to inform Mo Yanchi that he also wanted to be his disciple.
However, before he could say anything, Bai Zhi’er already said, "If you don’t mind us not often being in Great Qin, I can agree to accept the title of Princess Ningding."
"What?!" This time, Bai Xingye and Guoguo were astonished, speaking in unison.
They couldn’t understand Bai Zhi’er’s reason for agreeing.
Even Long Xiyuan was shocked, looking at her.
"You... you really agree?"
Bai Zhi’er fluttered her long lashes, her round, fair, and charming face carrying calm and ease.
"Why not agree? You promised I would be your only goddaughter."
"Not only obtaining a princess title for nothing, but also receiving the benefits of half the realm; not agreeing would be foolish."
Long Xiyuan was particularly delighted and immediately stood up.
"Good! Good! I will certainly keep my word. I’ll return to the palace now and draft the decree, granting you the three main cities of Southern County as a greeting gift!"
Bai Zhi’er spoke up to stop him: "That’s unnecessary! I’ll first accept the decree making me Princess Ningding, and the rest I’ll ask for in ten years."
Long Xiyuan was overjoyed: "Alright! As you wish."
Bai Zhi’er smiled cheerfully: "Godfather, I’ll refrain from seeing you off then!"
Though it was a dismissal, Long Xiyuan appeared happier than ever.
"That rolls off the tongue so naturally, I love it. Very well, I’ll visit you another day. No, tomorrow you’ll come to the palace, and I’ll have someone size you up for princess garments."
With that, he left joyfully.
After he left, Bai Xingye couldn’t help but rush up to Bai Zhi’er: "Sister, why agree to him? If Second Uncle finds out, I’m done for!"
Bai Zhi’er would likely be fine, Bai Xilie being too worried about his daughter.
He would only blame Bai Xingye for not properly looking after Bai Zhi’er and even watching her accept another as godfather!
Bai Zhi’er sighed: "I didn’t want to agree, nor is it for those benefits."
"But I’ve seen Long Xiyuan’s face; indeed he has no descendants in the future."
"I know he’s certainly punishing himself this way out of guilt towards Lady."
"The so-called solitary man in name only. I agreed because he’s otherwise quite good and out of respect for Fu Xiru."
"I think if Lady were still alive, she wouldn’t bear to see Long Xiyuan lonely and sad."
"With me around, I can protect him until he’s past a hundred years, so I agreed."
After hearing this, Bai Xingye frowned, feeling it wasn’t right but unable to refute.
His sister was reasonable and had a heart embracing the world.
Feng Fuce accepted it naturally.
"As long as you’re happy, I support your decision."
Bai Xingye fixedly stared at Feng Fuce.
Was this Marquis Wan trying to step in as a good brother to his sister?
Bai Xingye absolutely wouldn’t give Feng Fuce a solo chance to shine!
Hastily, he also expressed: "I support too!"
