Confronted with Emperor Beiqing's questioning, Feng Xun responded with a smile before suddenly speaking.
"Your Majesty, there is something I wish to ask. My heart has long admired the Yue Marquis, and taking advantage of today's celebration, I earnestly request that Your Majesty grant us marriage."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Inside the Chuyun Palace, the entire hall erupted into commotion.
Just now, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun had entered the palace together, and the affection between the two of them, as well as their attire, was evident to anyone who was not blind.
Yet no one expected that Prince Feng would directly, in the presence of everyone, ask Emperor Beiqing for a marriage alliance.
Even Ling Yue hadn't anticipated that Feng Xun would suddenly make such a statement; she thought he would wait until after the banquet to privately seek out Emperor Beiqing.
A "snap" was heard, as a cup from Xue Pianran's table fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
