Summary
“How you’ve managed make this sound like a death sentence is beyond me,” Lan Xichen mutters. He sets the pot back down on the table. “I hear the Emperor has met over a hundred suitors in the past year alone and he’s rejected every single one of them. Surely the fact that he did not reject you is—”
“Happenstance. Nothing more.” The corner of Lan Wangji’s mouth twitches, and that’s about as much insight into his inner world as Lan Xichen is going to get for now. He reaches for his cup of tea again. “If the Yiling Patriarch has been saying no to every single candidate ceaselessly for the last twelve months, then it is only a matter of probability. He has been playing a game of attrition, and he’s finally lost.”
Lan Xichen chuckles. “And I suppose the Emperor is, at this very moment, skulking about in the palace, equally unwilling to enter into this arrangement with you?”
“I don’t care for his feelings on the matter. His Imperial Majesty is the one who has sealed my fate.”
