Chapter 788: Chapter 782 Request for Marriage

If the Emperor asks about this matter today, shall I just say I need to look into it further? To consider it a bit more?

Yes, exactly, just do that.

Yue Tingfang smiled at Xiao Qinqin and said, "Good, Qinqin, wait for me."

...

Xiao Qinqin returned to the Xiao Family estate. The maid, Qiaoyue, helped her bathe and change her clothes. Just as she walked into the courtyard, she heard a deep male voice.

"There is a beauty, unforgettable upon sight.

One day apart, and thoughts of her drive one mad.

The phoenix flies and soars, searching the four seas for the phoenix...

She furrowed her brows and looked towards the man leaning on the railing, asking, "Crown Prince, how do you have so much free time to come to my home and recite poetry?"

Jin Moning approached her with a faint smile on his face.

"I came to deliver a message from the Emperor to General Xiao and heard from Qiaoyue that you had returned from the military camp, so I came to see you."

Xiao Qinqin laughed, "I don’t know what kind of wind blew today, but you’ve all sung this ’Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ to the verge of weariness."

"Oh? Who else has sung it?" Jin Moning asked with a darkened face.

"Yue Tingfang sang it just this morning," Xiao Qinqin laughed in reply.

"He?" Jin Moning’s face showed surprise, and thinking of Yue Tingfang’s appearance last night, he instantly understood.

He had felt that Yue Tingfang seemed to have taken a liking to someone’s daughter, and it turns out the person he fancied was Qinqin.

Jin Moning curled the corner of his mouth, his eyes dark as ink grew more profound. He pressed Xiao Qinqin against a pillar, tilted up her chin, and asked in a low voice, "So, do you think Tingfang sings better or I do?"

Xiao Qinqin dodged his gaze, her cheeks gaining a tinge of red as she said in a stammer, "This isn’t your Crown Prince Residence, Crown Prince, it would be better if you kept your distance from me."

"Qinqin, after all these years, do you still not understand my feelings?" His warm breath sprayed on her cheek, making it even redder.

She smiled and said, "I’m older than you, I’ve always seen you as a younger brother. My father even mentioned taking you as a disciple, and since I’m also his disciple, doesn’t that make you my junior brother?"

"Shush!" Jin Moning placed a finger on her lips, lowered his voice, and said, "I do not want to be your junior brother; I only want to be your man."

The blush on Xiao Qinqin’s face continued to her ear tips. As the man drew closer, she pouted and said, "Don’t think just because you sang ’Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ that you can be my man. Many have sung to me, including Yue Tingfang who just sang it."

"Oh? Ha... No!" Jin Moning began to laugh and said, "He sang ’Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’, but I sang ’Phoenix in Captivity’. Qinqin, you’ve already imprisoned my heart, so I must imprison you. That way I won’t be at too much of a disadvantage, right?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Qinqin’s smile became knowing. She wrapped her arms around his neck and initiated a kiss.

Jin Moning was ecstatic. He pressed her firmly against the carved column and deepened their kiss...

Because of his words about imprisoning hearts, she was willing to be imprisoned within the small world of the Crown Prince Residence.

Jin Moning released Xiao Qinqin, his face brimming with joy. He treasured her hand against his heart and said, "Qinqin, wait for me."

Xiao Qinqin nodded shyly and replied, "Alright, I’ll wait for you."

But she had forgotten that on the very same day, another person had said the same to her.

Having left the Xiao Family, Jin Moning hurried to the Imperial Palace, partly to report back to the Emperor and partly for Qinqin.

At that moment, Yue Tingfang was playing chess with the Emperor. Jin Moning glanced at Yue Tingfang in surprise, then without hesitation, knelt before the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, your son humbly asks you to decree a marriage for me with Xiao Qinqin of the Xiao Family."
