章 320: Ambush

"What?" Rong Jin was stumped for a moment.

"Country Xing Luo has brought it up to your father before. They want to form a marriage alliance using you and Situ Xingchen. She's of high status, and she's favored there. If you can marry her, it'll help you a lot."

The Empress sipped on her tea and glanced at Rong Jin coldly. "If not for this, why did you think your father let you off the hook today?"

Rong Jin frowned. "But Situ Xingchen… Is this the only way?"

"You're still unwilling?"

Bang!

The Empress slammed the cup down, and she laughed coldly. "No matter how you look at it, Situ Xingchen is a good fit to be the Crown Princess. What's there to be unhappy about?"

She didn't like Situ Xingchen. Her years of experience in the palace told her that Situ Xingchen was no simpleton. However, she could not be bothered now.
