My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Looking at yet another figure walking up, Zhao Zhiyi's expression was somewhat complex.

She moved her lips and said, "Elder brother..."

King Sheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to say anything. At the beginning, I was a little angry. After all, you are my own sister, the person I trust the most. But, over the past few days, I have thought a lot. The people like you so much; if you ascend the throne, it will be beneficial to both the nation and the people. Besides, we have the same Father Emperor and Mother; it makes no difference who takes the throne..."

He took the initiative to clink glasses with Zhao Zhiyi and said, "The past is the past. You must be a good Emperor and not let your elder brother down..."

After speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one go, then affectionately patted Zhao Zhiyi's head and turned to leave.

This scene fell into the eyes of the surrounding officials, causing them to whisper among themselves.

"Who would have thought that King Sheng would have such grace."

"The Fourth Prince's magnanimity indeed exceeded my expectations."

"I thought he wouldn't attend the banquet tonight."

"After all, they are siblings. Since the result cannot be changed, it's better to accept reality."

"This is probably the best outcome..."

...

After congratulating the Sixth Princess, King Sheng then walked to the positions of the other three princes, toasting them one by one.

The several princes had previously looked down on him, but observing his demeanor today—a willingness to take up and put down—gained him some respect in their hearts.

This scene also changed the impression of King Sheng in the eyes of the public.

During the struggle for the throne, they were adversaries.

But after the election ended, they remained brothers.

This contrasted sharply with the princes of Daxia.

The two princes of Daxia conspired to kill the former Crown Prince and forced the Emperor to cede the throne under the guise of cleaning up the court.

In their battle for the throne, they stopped at nothing, even wishing death upon their brothers who shared both parents.

But the princes of Zhao Country, even in their struggle for power, fought openly and never resorted to such dirty tactics.

Compared to Daxia, the royal family of Zhao Country could definitely be described as brothers respecting one another and fathers and sons showing kindness.

Officials in such a country also felt honored.

The banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere, with many officials returning home drunk. This was one of the few occasions where officials were allowed to drink to excess.

The next day.

Princess Mansion.

Li Nuo sat up from the bed, turned his head to glance at Yi Ren, who was still pretending to sleep.

Every day, she would wait for him to kiss her before she would wake up.

Li Nuo got up first to wash up, and Yi Ren, on the bed, opened her eyes just a crack, looking at his back in confusion.

Didn't he usually kiss her gently before getting up to wash?

Did he forget today?

After washing, Li Nuo turned around, and she immediately closed her eyes again.

Li Nuo sat down by the bed and looked down at Yi Ren's delicate face.

In a few days, the Sixth Princess would officially ascend the throne.

The date of their return journey was also not far off.

He and Yi Ren had pretended to be clueless for several months; the time was already ripe, and there was no need to continue pretending...

Li Nuo leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

Yi Ren breathed a sigh of relief; this morning was finally complete.

She habitually waited for Li Nuo to leave before getting up to wash.

But he remained sitting by the bed, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Nuo looked at Yi Ren, who was still pretending to sleep, and gently shook her shoulder, laughing, "Alright, stop pretending to sleep. I know you've been awake for a while..."

Song Yiren's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, asking somewhat confusedly, "What are you doing?"

Li Nuo mercilessly exposed her, "Still pretending? Do you really think I, with the senses of the Fourth Realm Peak, wouldn't know? And your previous secret kisses...

Song Yiren, embarrassed and annoyed, said, "Stop talking!"

Li Nuo shrugged and said, "Fine, I won't talk. Actually, I thought about your question all night and came up with an answer. But since you don't want to hear it, never mind..."

Song Yiren's eyebrows moved, and she asked, "What question?"

Li Nuo said, "You asked me whom I would choose between you and Jiaren if she hadn't married me..."

Song Yiren immediately sat up: "Who would you choose?"

Li Nuo looked into her eyes and smiled, "I would still choose both..."

Song Yiren rolled her eyes at him, about to say something, but her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. After being stunned for a moment, she slowly closed them again...
