Chapter 61: Thank You for the Help from My Mother!
Zhu Tianyu and Zhu Caiyun exchanged smiles the moment they heard the edict. The happiness in their eyes was unmistakable—they were undoubtedly the happiest people there.
The princes would now live in harmony, which meant their daughters no longer needed to fight to the death.
They were parents too. Who would willingly watch their two daughters try to kill each other if they had any other choice?
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing also smiled at each other. With the imperial decree announced, the two of them had truly become sisters in the eyes of all.
Even though they had gotten along well before, in the eyes of the public, they were always competitors, destined to fight for the title of crown princess.
But now, they were no longer rivals. They were true sisters, and all of it was thanks to Davis.
As she looked at Davis's broad and reliable back, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes filled with tears—tears of joy.
Davis had told her before that he wanted to abolish the succession rules of the royal family. But Zhu Zhuqing had never truly believed it was possible. After all, the rule had stood for thousands of years. Who would believe it could be undone so easily?
But now, Davis had really done it!
As she watched his figure, her heart raced and a soft, inexplicable feeling bloomed inside her.
At that moment, Davis rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhuyun, clearly blaming her for misunderstanding him earlier.
Zhu Zhuyun quickly reached out and gently rubbed his waist, flashing an apologetic smile that seemed to say:
> Husband, I was wrong. Don't be mad, okay?
---
At that moment, Eunuch Li brought out the third imperial edict, and the news it contained was even more shocking:
> "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:
Since the Third Prince, Dai Mubai, has left the Star Luo Empire and is currently missing, the engagement between the Third Prince and Zhu Zhuqing, second daughter of the Zhu family, is hereby annulled.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuyun, eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and Zhu Zhuqing, second daughter of the Zhu family, are to be jointly conferred the title of Crown Princesses of the Star Luo Empire.
When the second daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, reaches the age of eighteen, the three shall be formally married. No errors shall be permitted.
This is the decree!!!"
---
> "What do you mean?!"
Davis was the first to lose his composure.
He and the Zhu sisters are engaged?!
No... this joy came far too suddenly!
Wait—this wasn't the right script at all!
No one had warned him in advance!
Just as Davis was still in a daze, he suddenly felt someone pinching his waist hard. Turning around, he met Zhu Zhuyun's murderous glare—eyes that seemed to want to eat him alive.
Her expression clearly said:
> "So this is the good news you were talking about? You put a green hat on me, and this is your good news? I'll remember this. You'd better prepare yourself!"
Zhu Zhuyun felt like a huge green pineapple right now.
And the worst part was, this was an imperial edict. She had no choice but to accept it. All she could do was glare at Davis in protest.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing was so shy that she lowered her head, blushing furiously. From time to time, she peeked at Davis with a joyful sparkle in her eyes.
> This happiness came too suddenly!
Just as I was developing feelings for my brother-in-law, the Emperor betrothed me to him! How wonderful! Hehe...
Wait a second—does this mean my sister and I will serve the same husband together?
Doesn't that make me a mistress...?
Never mind—as long as I can be with my brother-in-law, it's worth it! Hehe~
---
Zhu Zhuyun was fuming.
Zhu Zhuqing was shy.
And Davis? Completely confused.
He looked at his mother Zhu Yaqin, pleading with his eyes—this must be your doing, right?!
Sure enough, when Davis looked over, he saw Zhu Yaqin smiling sweetly. Her lips moved slightly, and she used soul power to transmit her voice directly to him:
> "So, eldest son? Surprised? Surprised? Excited? Isn't it thrilling to think of sisters serving the same husband?"
> "No! Mom, what are you doing? Why didn't you talk to me about something this huge?!"
> "What do you mean 'what the hell'? I saw through you long ago. You've been eyeing that girl Zhuqing!"
At that, Zhu Yaqin gave Zhu Zhuqing a glance, then resumed her sound transmission:
> "Tsk tsk tsk... just look at her. Her curves, that figure—she's even more seductive than I was at that age. No wonder you like her.
Since you like her so much, of course I'll help you marry her.
So? Aren't you going to thank your mother?"
> "...Uh... This..."
What else could Davis say?
All he could do was thank his mom for the god-tier assist!
---
This wasn't just an assist. It was a one-way pass straight to the wedding bed.
From this moment on, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing would never be apart from him again.
---
When everyone had digested the news, Dai Pojun spoke up at the perfect moment:
> "Cousin Tianyu, that's all for today. I'll make the decree public in court tomorrow. I won't trouble you further.
Little Li, back to the palace!"
> "As you command, Your Majesty. Set off!"
> "Respectfully send His Majesty back to the palace!"
Soon, the imperial sedan disappeared from view.
Yet the shock in everyone's hearts remained, even intensified.
---
The happiest of all were Zhu Tianyu and Zhu Caiyun.
Not only did their daughters no longer need to fight to the death—they had both become crown princesses.
And in the future, their grandson would be the Emperor of Star Luo!
Their family's status had skyrocketed overnight.
---
Meanwhile, Davis could sense that trouble was coming.
He turned around to find Zhu Zhuyun still glaring at him with deadly intent, making him chuckle awkwardly.
> "Uhh... Zhuyun, if I said I knew nothing about this, would you believe me?"
> "What do you think?" Zhu Zhuyun snapped.
"This is the 'good news' you mentioned? Amazing. You're really enjoying this, aren't you? You get to eat sister rice from now on, huh?"
> "Haha, well... 'sister rice' does sound good..."
Seeing her temper about to explode, Davis quickly corrected himself:
"Ahem, alright alright, dear wife—I really didn't know about this. If I had known in advance, I would have—"
> "Would have what?"
> "I'd have kept it a secret from you so you wouldn't find out!"
> "Davis!!"
---
> "Haha! Brother Weis, you're incredible!" Anna laughed, eyes glinting mischievously.
"So Sister Zhuyun and Sister Zhuqing are both your wives now?"
She looked at Zhu Zhuqing and then Zhu Zhuyun with an ambiguous smile, thinking to herself:
> I've made up my mind. These three people belong together.
The love of three people—especially sisters—is exciting even as a bystander!
---
> "Okay, okay, let's put that aside for now. I brought some immortal herbs for you. Once you absorb them, your strength will skyrocket."
"Big wife, little wife—let's go home!"
Davis held Zhu Zhuyun's hand with his left and Zhu Zhuqing's hand with his right, leading them back to Zhuyun's room.
Both sisters blushed deeply when they heard him say "wife."
Especially Zhu Zhuqing—this was the first time she'd ever been called that, and though she felt shy, she was also very happy.
---
Just like Anna thought:
A three-person love story, and between sisters no less—what could be more exciting?
