Chapter 34


    Sitting down at the table with the Emperor and Empress, I could practically feel the daggersing


    from the Empress''s eyes behind her stered smile. The table gave us a good amount of distance


    between each other, but I could almost physically feel the heat from the Empress''s anger. Enya must


    have run to report to the Empress our conversation immediately after leaving Yong’s Serenity Pce.


    The Emperor was still none the wiser.


    "My great-goddaughter. How are you settling into the Crown Prince''s Pce? Are the little prince and


    princess doing okay aftering to the Heavenly Realm?" The Emperor asked. He honestly just


    seemed happy to be a grandfather. I smiled softly and nodded.


    "Serenity Pce feels like home already. Tyrian and Amethyst are doing great. They''re eating well and


    taking in their surroundings," I answered.


    "Have you gotten a nanny for them yet? What about a wet nurse? How are they eating right now? What


    are you feeding them?" The Empress asked. I had to work hard to keep my pleasant smile.


    "We have gotten a nanny for them, and we decided not to use a wet nurse. I''m feeding them myself. I


    know my own body and want them to grow up with the best I can offer," I exined.


    "You''re a nobledy. Breastfeeding your own child is for those in a lower ss," the Empress stuck her


    nose up at me.


    "That may be true, but I trust my product and the food I insert in my body more than choosing and


    forcing a random woman to feed my two children," I replied easily.


    "Wife, enough. Tyrian and Amethyst are Goddess Princess Aivi''s children, not your. Although it''s


    important for Aivi to be filial, that doesn''t grant you the right to determine how she chooses to raise their


    children," the Emperor stopped the Empress. I took a delicate bite of the food in front of me. It was


    actually delicious.


    "Speaking of the children... I wanted to talk about making Goddess Princess Aivi the Crown Prince''s


    concubine," the Empress said before taking a bite of the vegetables.


    "Absolutely not. Aivi deserves better than that. She''s distinguished among immortals, and her


    aplishments speak for themselves. She''s wise, smart and caring, but strict with her beliefs. Even if


    you want to ignore Aivi''s good points, the children she birthed for me had a grand auspicious sign and


    unique features. They''re destined for greatness. It would only be right to follow tradition and make the


    mother of my firstborn heir, and the next Crown Prince, my legal wife," Yong argued immediately.


    "You are right, son. Aivi has done a lot for our realm. Her entire n was wiped out as well. It would


    only be right to honor her deceased family, reward her merit, and follow tradition. I''m allowing Aivi to

    marry you as your legal wife and the Crown Princess," the Emperor agreed. I almost forgot that the


    origin story Tase and Yong made up included me being the only living family member of the Northern


    Territory General. The Empress stood quickly as she red at me.


    "Over my dead body!" She snapped. We all froze as we looked to her. It seemed she couldn''t bottle up


    her anger anymore. She''d finally exploded at the thought of me.


    "You can dismiss yourself," the Emperor said to her sternly. She realized her slip up toote before


    curtsying to the Emperor and leaving reluctantly while ring at me still. The Emperor turned his


    attention back to us.


    "I''ll have the Love Immortal start nning your wedding as soon as possible," he promised. Yong


    smiled as he stood to bow to the Emperor.


    "Thank you, Royal Father," Yong thanked him. The Emperor bellyughed before waving Yong off. His


    attention turned to me.


    "Soon you''ll have to start calling me Royal Father too," the Emperor said, lightening the mood. I smiled


    as my cheeks heated in embarrassment.


    "Great-godfather, regardless of the oue, I should still apologize to you. The Crown Prince and I


    went behind your back in order to be together, and it wasn''t right to do. I know that marriages in the


    Royal Heavenly Pce are mostly political, but I promise to make up for my shorings of power


    with knowledge and kindness," I apologized. The Emperor waved me off.


    "In all honesty, I already knew you two were close. Even before you went to the Heavenly Cloud


    Academy, I assumed you would be. My second son is Yong''s favorite brother. They''re practically stuck


    at the hip. With you as the Second Prince''s goddaughter, I knew you two would run into each other


    often. It was really only a matter of time. And don''t worry about the Empress. I won''t let her cancel your


    wedding," he promised. We continued eating our dinner before we began leaving the Main Pce.


    Back at home, I fed Tyrian and Amethyst before putting them to sleep for the night. It would be the first


    time I was officially and openly sleeping in Yong''s room without any guilt. After weid down, Yong


    wrapped his arms around me.


    "Do you feel a little better now?" He asked. I nodded as I ced my head on his chest. Yong pushed


    me onto my back quickly before hovering over me.


    "Want to make another baby?" He smirked teasingly. I hit his chest yfully as I frowned.


    "You can''t even wait until we''re married first?" I asked. Yong only chuckled beforeying down again.


    "I''m joking. I just love seeing you blush," he admitted. I shook my head at him before rxing against


    him.


    "Sleep. You have work to catch up on tomorrow and I need to start nning our wedding," I said


    happily.
