He closed his eyes, feeling humiliated by the other party’s earlier submissive demeanor.

Soon, six death warriors from the Crown Prince’s mansion silently slipped out, splitting into two groups: one heading to the Dong Mansion, the other to Liu Ruofu’s grandfather’s house.

King Liang paid a visit. No matter how displeased Dong Qingping was, he still had King Liang invited into the mansion.

After the king entered, he dismissed everyone and surprisingly knelt before Dong Qingping, who quickly knelt and kowtowed, not daring to lift his head.

"Lord Dong, I truly admire Tingzhen!" King Liang’s voice choked, almost breaking into tears. He repeated his tale about Dong Tingzhen to Dong Qingping, speaking pitifully, as if he couldn’t live without her.

Dong Qingping roughly guessed... the Emperor probably wouldn’t allow King Liang to marry Dong Tingzhen due to Second Brother Dong Qingyue. Hence, King Liang came to beg.

Dong Qingping pretended not to understand: "Your Highness, today His Majesty summoned me into the palace. I have conveyed to His Majesty that you should send a matchmaker to propose. Just don’t mention my daughter’s personal belongings! So why have you come to say this?"

King Liang’s lips quivered. He couldn’t tell Dong Qingping that the Emperor disapproved.

If the Emperor disapproved, how could a minister forcibly marry his daughter to King Liang? Which minister would dare to defy the Emperor?

"Please stand up, Your Highness!" Dong Qingping knelt forward, helped King Liang up, and said, "Your Highness, it’s already late. Return to rest. You admiring my daughter is her blessing. How could I disagree with such fate? Just send a matchmaker. I will have my wife refuse Minister Chen’s proposal tomorrow. Rest assured!"

"Lord Dong, I won’t hide it from you. Father... Father didn’t agree, so I came here!" King Liang said with reddened eyes.

Dong Qingping’s face stiffened slightly. "Why is that? Today when I entered the palace... wasn’t His Majesty discussing this matter with me? Was there a misunderstanding? What did His Majesty tell you?"

"Father wants me to marry Minister Chen’s granddaughter as my primary wife. But... I only want Tingzhen! Tingzhen can only be my primary wife, Lord Dong! I swear I will marry only Tingzhen in this life, and never take any concubines!" King Liang stated solemnly.

"You see, Your Highness, I am just a minor official. How could I dare defy His Majesty?" Dong Qingping said with difficulty.

King Liang wanted to say more, but Dong Qingping hurriedly added, "You must understand... I am very willing to marry my daughter to you, but the most important thing is His Majesty’s approval. After all, the command of parents and the words of the matchmaker are the proper way! Why don’t you ask His Majesty?"

King Liang hesitated, looking at Dong Qingping with wet, reddened eyes.

Dong Qingping was even more troubled, carefully saying, "You wouldn’t make me personally ask His Majesty? If Minister Chen knew, how would I face him?"
