Chapter 96
Madness!
Xu Ming must be crazy! Everyone present knew that Wu Kingdom had only one princess.
The current Emperor of Wu was in his prime, and barring any unexpected circumstances, he could easily reign for another three or four decades. During that time, the emperor could raise his grandchildren as heirs, with even his great-grandchildren coming of age by then.
In other words, Xu Ming’s child would undoubtedly become the future ruler of Wu Kingdom. This meant Xu Ming’s future status would be that of the “Empress Dowager.”
No one could comprehend why Xu Ming would reject such an opportunity.
“Could it be that the appearance of the Wu Kingdom princess is…?” A princess from another kingdom raised the question hesitantly. Although she left her sentence unfinished, everyone knew what she was implying.
“That’s unlikely,” said a prince from Liang Kingdom, shaking his head.
“The princess’s mother ranked 30th on the Beauty List, and she was just a mortal. After her, no other mortal has achieved such a high ranking.
“As for the Emperor of Wu,” he continued, “my mother once mentioned seeing him in his youth. He was known as a strikingly handsome man. With parents like these, how unattractive could their child possibly be?”
