Chapter 493: Killing three birds with one stone, when have you ever been angry?

"It seems that I have to restrain myself a little, otherwise what should I do if I am fascinated by the thousands of girls in Dongling?"

It was hard to hear Xia Tan'er talking about such narcissistic words, Dong Ling Jiu was very cooperative and responded.

"It's okay to charm thousands of girls, but don't even charm young boys. I have no skills to deal with my love rival."

"You're so good at talking, give me a reward."

Xia Tan'er held up Dong Lingjiu's cheek, gave it a sip, and then shrank into Dong Lingjiu's arms.

"Uncle Nine Emperors, I'm hungry."

"Going to my king's place for dinner?"

"Why don't you go out to eat in the palace? I heard that you ordered the night market to be opened during the Kyushu Festival. You might as well go shopping after eating. The nights in Dongling have not been so lively for a long time."

"Okay, come with me."

With that said, Dongling held Xia Tan'er's hand with his ninety fingers crossed and prepared to leave the palace, but after taking a few steps, Xia Tan'er shook his hand away.

Dong Lingjiu turned around and looked at Xia Tan'er with a blank expression, his eyes filled with genuine confusion.

"What's going on with two grown men walking hand in hand in the palace? Moreover, I used the excuse of Longyang's addiction when I refused the marriage. If nothing else happens, the news will spread throughout the palace tonight."

"If someone sees you and me holding hands, the legend that Dongling Nine Emperors Uncle is not sexually attracted to women will probably turn out to be because he likes men with a habit of cutting off their sleeves."

Listening to Xia Tan'er's explanation, Dong Lingjiu pursed his lips speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Dong Lingjiu really couldn't understand how this little guy could come up with such an outrageous excuse. Even if he moved out of the Lu family, the emperor would think twice about why he would use this trick and lose his reputation.

Seeing Dong Lingjiu's confusion, Xia Tan'er explained again.

"I untied Beiling Xue's clothes when I was treating her. She was still conscious at that time. Using this excuse can still preserve her innocence. It can also explain why Xiling Che lives in my room and save the emperor and others. The children of the aristocratic family are interested in me and intend to propose marriage, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone."

"Besides, Tan Xia's identity won't last long except for the Kyushu Festival. If necessary, I can just change my name in the future."

Without explanation, Dong Lingjiu was just a little confused. After explaining, Dong Lingjiu realized how powerful Xia Tan'er's idea was.

He actually forgot that the Kyushu Festival was also an excellent time for the ministers of the aristocratic families to find a good match. One Beilingxue was enough trouble, and if there were a few more, Xia Tan'er might not be able to handle it, so he just settled it once and for all to avoid future troubles.

Seeing that Dong Lingjiu was silent for a long time, Xia Tan'er thought he was angry, so she raised her innocent eyes to look at Dong Lingjiu, and reached out to gently tug Dong Lingjiu's sleeve.

"There is nothing you can do about it in desperation. Think about it, Uncle Nine Emperors, I have signed a marriage contract with you, this person will definitely not be able to run away."

Looking at Xia Tan'er who looked like a little daughter-in-law, Dong Lingjiu couldn't hold it in any longer. He raised his hand and gently stroked Xia Tan'er's hair.

"If you want to run away, with your ability, even I, the king, won't be able to stop you."

"I swear, I promise I won't run around, otherwise I will be beaten..."

"Hey! You can't say that!"

Dong Lingjiu quickly covered Xia Tan'er's mouth, fearing that what she said would come true.

Xia Tan'er gently pulled Dong Lingjiu's big hand off with both hands, and asked Dong Lingjiu with a look of joy.

"So Uncle Nine Emperors are not angry anymore?"

"Why can I be angry with you? Apart from being angry that you never reveal your true feelings to me in everything, and having so many love blossoms, when have I ever been so angry with you?"
