Chapter 396: The Gynophobe Crown Prince 46

Tang Wan was completely impressed by his explosive acting skills.

So she joined him in putting on an act, putting on an innocent expression as she said, “I'm Tang Xiaoqi, the youngest daughter of the Tang family.”

The moment she said this, Zhou Zitong quickly glanced at Tang Hao, who was anxiously walking toward them, then loudly declared, “I want to marry you and make you my Empress!”

In an instant, Tang Hao's expression changed, and the entire hall fell silent as everyone turned to look in their direction.

Had His Majesty already chosen his preferred candidate?!

……

Tang Wan's heart began pounding at this moment.

“Your Majesty…”

Just then, Tang Hao came over and pulled Tang Wan behind him. “Your Majesty, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate.”

“What is inappropriate about it? Since she is the daughter of the Tang family, she is more than worthy of becoming the Empress of this Empire! Or does General Tang have some objection?”

Tang Hao really wanted to say: I have plenty of objections!

But in a setting like this, there were some things he absolutely couldn't say aloud.

So he could only say, “I have no objection. However, this matter should still depend on Little Seventh's own wishes.”

Hearing this, Zhou Zitong immediately looked at Tang Wan. “Then, Little Seventh, are you willing to marry me?”

Tang Hao immediately looked at her.

Yet under his extremely nervous gaze, Tang Wan answered that she was willing.

My heart is so tired!

My own little sister has actually chosen an outsider over us!

Sure enough, daughters really can't be kept at home once they grow up!

……

Hearing Tang Wan's answer, Zhou Zitong also breathed a sigh of relief. He then took her hand and walked onto the stage, announcing the matter once again.

After the banquet ended, the news that the Emperor was about to marry the Tang family's youngest daughter, Tang Xiaoqi, immediately made headlines.

But beneath the news, someone claiming to be an insider revealed, “I heard that this Tang Xiaoqi looks about eighty percent similar to the late Tang Wan.”

The moment this news came out, the Tongtong and Wanwan CP fans were immediately moved to tears.

“His Majesty really hasn't forgotten Tang Wan! He really loved Tang Wan!”

“But I feel like Tang Xiaoqi is a little pitiful. Is His Majesty treating her as Tang Wan's substitute?”

“Whatever the case, I hope His Majesty treats her well!”

……

When Tang Wan returned home, what awaited her was a full-blown family interrogation.

“Little Seventh, why did you agree to his proposal?! Ahhh?!” her brothers cried in despair.

Hearing this, Tang Wan put on an innocent expression. “Because I realized that I still like him!”

The moment she said this, the Tang brothers felt as though another arrow had pierced straight through their hearts.

At this moment, Tang's mother stepped forward. “All right. Look at all of your expressions! Little Seventh becoming the Empress is a good thing! Why do all of you look like you wish she would never get married?”

With that, she walked over to Tang Wan, took her hand, and said proudly, “I knew my Little Seventh would definitely outshine everyone at the banquet tonight. And look at that—at her very first palace banquet, she managed to snag the position of Empress. Tell me, who else could accomplish something like that?”

“But Mom, this means Little Seventh will have to leave us! I can't bear to part with her,” Fifth Brother said.

Hearing this, Tang's mother immediately glared at them. “And you all have the nerve to say that? Every single one of you is older than Little Seventh, yet not one of you has brought a girlfriend home even now! Your father had already gotten me when he was seventeen…”

“Ahem! Ahem!” Tang's father immediately began coughing loudly.

Tang's mother promptly stopped herself, then continued, “Anyway, it's a good thing for Little Seventh to find someone she loves and get married. All of you will start families of your own someday too. Surely you don't really want her to stay unmarried for the rest of her life?”

The six brothers, who had suddenly found themselves being pressured to get married, instantly fell silent.
