My Fiancée Is Very Jealous

So, Minister Zhuo reluctantly said, "If that's the case, may Your Majesty grant me some Earth Spirit Jade and Mystic Spirit Jade?"

"Hmm..." Colin Gu hesitated slightly.

He had already promised Wendy Zhu in bed that all those spirit jades would be given to her for setting up formation arrays.

But just now, he'd said in front of everyone that if the Prime Minister wanted anything, he could just take it...

After a brief thought, Colin Gu made up his mind: "Alright! I will reward you with that whole chest of Earth Spirit Jade, and six chests of Mystic Spirit Jade."

Anyway, he's the Empress's father—giving it to Minister Zhuo is the same as giving it to Wendy Zhu...

Wendy Zhu glanced at Colin Gu but said nothing.

She thought the same thing.

Those spirit jades were hers now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Minister Zhuo replied.

"And General Evan Xiao," Colin Gu said with a smile, looking at Evan. "The General made a solemn pledge to me, vowing to capture Windspire Kingdom at any cost."

Everyone looked at Evan Xiao with eyes full of admiration.

Under his command, Windspire Kingdom was utterly defeated.

The soldiers had absolute faith in him.

Colin Gu continued, "General Evan Xiao has always put the country and its people first, ready to sacrifice at any moment. He even turned down three marriage proposals from the Empress Dowager. For this, I have always felt uneasy."

Evan Xiao sat upright, looking at him calmly, saying nothing.

"So, I've decided to reward General Evan Xiao with Princess Lynne Ling—the most beautiful woman in Windspire Kingdom—and her three cities. I hope the General won't refuse again!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, all the generals cheered, whistling and joking nonstop.

Wendy Zhu raised an eyebrow.

Looks like her pillow talk worked.

The emperor really does... care about Chloe Zhu!

She put on a dignified smile and said, "Princess Lynne Ling has admired General Evan Xiao for a long time. Last year, during the Empress Dowager's birthday, she even challenged him in the arena! Now that His Majesty is rewarding her to the General, it's truly a match made in heaven!"

Colin Gu nodded, "That's right. Back then, my mother said if she lost, she'd bring her three cities and become the General's concubine. Now it's really happened. The General can take her as wife or concubine, it's up to him! Hahaha!"

Chloe Zhu stood behind Minister Zhuo, glancing at Colin Gu, then at Wendy Zhu, and finally at Evan Xiao. She asked her father in confusion, "Dad, isn't Princess Lynne Ling already a prisoner? How does she still have three cities?"

"You don't know," Minister Zhuo frowned. "She surrendered with her three cities. The emperor kept her princess title, and the taxes from those cities will still go to her."

"Surrendered..." Chloe Zhu bit her lip.

As a princess of Windspire Kingdom, how could she surrender? Where's her pride?

Minister Zhuo glanced at her but said nothing.

"General Evan Xiao, are you unhappy with my reward? If so, I can give you a few more cities as a wedding gift!" Colin Gu seemed to be joking.

But it was obviously not a suggestion one could refuse.

Evan Xiao replied calmly, "Your Majesty's reward is too generous for me to refuse. However... I really can't accept it."

"Can't accept? Why is that?" Colin Gu asked.

"Because my fiancée is a very jealous woman. If I accept, she'll make a scene and never let it go—how embarrassing would that be?"

"Fiancée?" Colin Gu was surprised. "When did you get a fiancée? Whose daughter is she?"

"She's the Imperial Advisor's junior apprentice, Bianca Whitefan," Evan Xiao said. "Our engagement was arranged by our teachers during the New Year."

"Oh..." Colin Gu was half convinced, half skeptical. "I've met her. You two really are a perfect match."

"So, please take back your order, Your Majesty!" Evan Xiao said.
