Chapter 139: I’m Willing to Marry Your Majesty!

Chapter 139: I Am Willing to Marry Your Majesty!

"That's the situation, so you can go have it out with Gu Yuankai now." Bai Yeye said with a look of utter sincerity, throwing Gu Yuankai under the bus.

Little Phoenix had a creepy smile on his face: "Ahahaha, I knew it was that blabbermouth spreading rumors. I'm definitely gonna make him pay."

Bai Yeye chimed in, joining in on the finger-pointing: "Exactly, exactly. He's the one who put our Little Phoenix through all that. How could he do that!"

Little Phoenix looked at him so gently: "Our Yeye's the best, no doubt. I asked you to look into it, and you found out right away. I owe you big time."

Bai Yeye's stomach dropped. Why was Little Phoenix smiling so creepily?

"You okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to deal with the bastard pulling the strings." Little Phoenix smiled with clenched teeth.

Bai Yeye hunched his shoulders, feeling like he was about to be in trouble.

"Yeye, time for bed." Shen Yu came to take him back.

Bai Yeye waved goodbye to Little Phoenix and followed him away without a fuss.

Little Phoenix watched their retreating figures and flashed a super sinister grin.

Shen Yu just so happened to look back and catch his smile, warning Bai Yeye: "You'd better not hang around him for a while."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Whenever he shows that kind of smile, it means he's about to screw someone over." Shen Yu wasn't afraid of being targeted himself, but he was afraid Bai Yeye would get caught up in it.

Poor little Yeye had no idea he was doomed, still feeling sorry for Gu Yuankai.

I helped you find your girl, so do me this one solid!

"Feeling nervous about tomorrow?" Shen Yu asked.

Bai Yeye rubbed his face against his palm: "Not nervous, but I'm still worried someone might cause trouble."

Tomorrow wasn't just about the Monarchs gathering—the big shots from every planet would also be present. Bai Yeye knew they didn't accept him as their ruler. He wasn't afraid of them coming after him, but he was afraid they'd target the ordinary folks on the planets.

Shen Yu had him sit in front of the mirror and began combing his hair: "Don't worry. I've brought in all the soldiers from the base. If they dare make a move tomorrow, I'll give them credit for having guts."

"You brought all 100,000 soldiers here?" Bai Yeye looked at him in shock.

"Mm."

"Then what about Lex?"

"The imperial palace's army will handle it. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Even if something did go wrong, he could get there in just a few hours.

Bai Yeye leaned against him: "Isn't this too hard on the soldiers? Having them run back and forth is so exhausting."

One person traveling back and forth wasn't a problem, but so many people coming and going was a real hassle.

"They're not going back after this."

"Huh?" Bai Yeye didn't understand what Shen Yu meant.

Shen Yu bent down and kissed his cheek: "They're my dowry. Otherwise, what would I use to lock in my spot as Empress?"

All those years of drilling soldiers were for this very moment!

Bai Yeye burst out laughing and went along with the joke: "Alright, alright. The Empress spot is definitely yours. No one can take it away."

He thought Shen Yu was just joking, never dreaming that Shen Yu was actually serious about giving him the entire army.

At dawn the next morning, Bai Yeye was yanked up by both arms by Bai Ningxin and Bai Ruoshui.

"Come on, Yeye, wake up already." Bai Ruoshui gently rubbed his cute little face.

Bai Yeye couldn't even open his eyes and mumbled: "Doesn't it start at nine? It's barely even light out."

"But we need to prepare. Fine, sleep a little more. Big bro will wash your face and brush your teeth for you." Bai Ruoshui couldn't stand to be too hard on him. Together with Bai Ningxin, one washed his face and brushed his teeth while the other peeled off his Samoyed pajamas and put on the first layer of his formal robe.

These tasks were usually done by palace attendants, but Bai Yeye was their pride and joy, and today was an extremely important day. They didn't trust outsiders, so they did it themselves.

After all that fussing around, Bai Yeye was mostly awake. He stretched and stood up: "Why does this formal robe look different from the one I saw last time?"

"Because this is just the first layer. There's eight more layers after this." On such an important day, how could he just wear something simple?

Bai Yeye was floored. Eight more layers?

Bai Ruoshui and Bai Ningxin helped him put on layer after layer. Bai Yeye felt like a little burrito dog, wrapped up tight like a little burrito.

The makeup master Bai Yuanzhou personally trimmed his eyebrows, reshaping his soft, curved brows into sharp, heroic ones to make him look more commanding.

Bai Yeye was amazed: "Yuanzhou, how do you know how to do this?"

Bai Yuanzhou smiled proudly: "Out in the world, the more skills you've got, the better."

Finally, Long Shen helped tie up his white hair and put the dragon jade crown symbolizing the emperor on his head.

They looked at the fully dressed Bai Yeye, beaming with pride and joy.

This was the Yeye they had raised together, and now he was all grown up.

Little Phoenix walked in and joked: "You actually clean up pretty decently."

Bai Yeye: ?

That sounded kinda off.

Xie Shihua pinched Xie Yongyun: "Watch your tongue."

Then he glanced at Bai Ningxin and teased: "It's a miracle someone like you could raise a kid like this."

Bai Ningxin's temple veins bulged as he told himself to stay calm and not ruin such an important day.

"The dragon hour is almost upon us." A palace attendant came to warn them about the time.

According to Roman Empire customs, after the emperor's coronation, he would ride in a golden carriage around the imperial city so the people could see and cheer for their trusted ruler.

Seeing the sea of people outside, Bai Yeye's palms started sweating. He whispered: "I think I'm getting a little nervous."

Oh no, what if he made a fool of himself on the carriage? What if he accidentally farted and someone heard?

Long Rui comforted him: "It's fine. As long as you don't say anything, you'll be totally fine."

Bai Yeye: ?

What did he say!

How strange, where's Shen Yu?

It was only then that Bai Yeye noticed Shen Yu had never appeared. Just as he was about to ask, Bai Ruoshui helped him onto the flower carriage.

"Don't be afraid, everyone is protecting you."

"Mm, I'm not scared!" Bai Yeye steadied his mind, trying to calm himself down.

Okay, don't panic, don't panic. Just pretend the citizens are giant drumsticks. No way! That'd make me drool!

Better think of them as cabbages—then I won't have any appetite whatsoever.

As the golden carriage slowly rolled out of the imperial palace, the citizens all craned their necks, dying to catch a glimpse of their stunning new emperor.

The day was bright and clear, and the brilliant sunlight hit the golden carriage, sending out dazzling rays. But even more dazzling than the gold was the peerless beauty sitting inside.

Bai Yeye was dressed in luxurious attire, his ceremonial robes studded with bright, beautiful gems—yet even they couldn't outshine the splendor of his face. The citizens held their breath. They'd seen photos of Bai Yeye before and thought that was the best he could possibly look. But seeing him in person, Bai Yeye was so gorgeous he seemed to be from a whole different layer of reality.

They hardly dared to breathe, afraid of disturbing the beauty in the carriage.

Bai Yeye felt a little awkward—why was there no reaction at all?

Then, out of nowhere, someone shouted, and the whole crowd went wild.

"Your Majesty, I love you!!!"

"I'd gladly marry Your Majesty, even as a concubine!"

"I'd willingly marry Your Majesty! Even if Your Majesty is an Omega, I've got a fake one!!"

Bai Yeye: Wait, that last line's off! What do you mean "use a fake one"? Just 'cause he's an Omega doesn't mean he doesn't have one!
