After Ye Qichi finished speaking, it seemed as if the way everyone looked at her changed.
In all fairness, she truly had no intention of showcasing her "love" for Xiao Jinxing in front of his first love to perform. She absolutely had no intention of ruining their relationship; she was merely trying to protect herself.
After all, if the Emperor truly had the sincere intention of rewarding her, he wouldn't have asked her what she wanted!
"The deep affection between husband and wife is truly gratifying to Me. But the words I speak are as heavy as nine tripods, I must grant the reward!" Xiao Zhanping declared with absolute authority.
At this point, if Ye Qichi continued to refuse, it would be equivalent to her not knowing how to appreciate the favor.
She quickly said, "This daughter-in-law thanks Father Emperor for his graciousness."
"What would you like?" Xiao Zhanping asked again.
Still, he asked her what she wanted, rather than directly rewarding her with something.
