Chapter 208 You Can't Beat Me
The little princess Duanmu Qin of Beiliu took a warm jade hairpin and walked lightly to the front of the fourth prince Chu Cheng'an.
Her cheeks were lightly flushed, as beautiful as peach blossoms in spring. Her shy eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness, and she gently handed the warm jade hairpin in her hand to Chu Chengan.
The moment Chu Cheng'an received the hairpin, he felt an indescribable joy and excitement. He had never expected that Duanmu Qin would choose him, and this sudden happiness made him a little overwhelmed.
He carefully stroked the hairpin in his hand, feeling its warm texture and delicate grain. Then, he took out an exquisite hairpin from his bosom and gently put it on Duanmuqin's hair. Then, he put the hairpin into the brocade box and said to Duanmuqin gently: "I look forward to you fixing the crown for me one day."
After hearing this, Duanmu Qin's face turned redder and more attractive, like a ripe apple. She nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then ran back to the ambassador of Beiliu shyly like a frightened deer.
Xiao Xiao was watching everything that was happening in front of her with a smile on her face, as if she was looking forward to what would happen next. Emperor Wen finally couldn't hold back his joy and said loudly, "Miss Xiao, I only have one prince now. If you don't want to marry my son, I can also choose a suitable husband for you from the young talents in the court!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's delicate face instantly flushed. She slowly stood up and walked lightly to the Fifth Prince Chu Chengxuan. Then, she carefully handed the exquisite purse in her hand to Chu Chengxuan, and said softly: "Fifth Prince, please accept this purse. This is embroidered by me personally. I hope you don't dislike it."
Chu Chengxuan's slender eyes flashed with a hint of teasing. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked with a smile: "Are you really going to give this purse to me?"
Xiao Xiao nodded gently, her eyes firm and gentle. Seeing this, Chu Chengxuan stood up, bowed to Emperor Wen, and replied respectfully: "I know that marriage is a matter of great importance, so I will naturally follow my father's arrangements!"
Emperor Wen looked at Chu Chengxuan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of relief. He nodded with satisfaction and laughed: "Okay! Since Miss Xiao is interested in you, then I approve this marriage!"
After the palace banquet, Emperor Wen returned to his study room in a rage. Eunuch Gao asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, the princes have already chosen their own people, why are you so angry?"
Emperor Wen was still furious, and said angrily: "Humph! This third brother actually dared to collude with Yuewu Kingdom! Yuewu Kingdom and our Dazhao Kingdom have an irreconcilable feud! I am so disappointed!"
Eunuch Gao quickly picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Emperor Wen, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please calm down and drink a cup of tea to cool down. In my opinion, the Third Prince should not be so unreasonable. He may just be using Hu Yanzhuozhuo."
After hearing this, Emperor Wen calmed down a little, but he was still dissatisfied. He waved his hand to signal Eunuch Gao to leave: "Alright, you go down first!"
Eunuch Gao bowed and slowly left the imperial study. Kong Boda walked out from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty! The true identity of Xiao Xiao has now been found out. Her biological father is Zheng Fei, who was beheaded by your Majesty for embezzling a large amount of money! Even his wife and daughter were demoted to official slaves! Your Majesty! This Xiao Jingyi obviously has the intention of treason!"
Emperor Wen raised his head slightly, looked out the window calmly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, wait patiently for another three months. After Xiao Jinghan completes his wedding, he can be arranged to go to Nanyi to take over the Xiao family army!" After that, Emperor Wen gently waved his hand, signaling Kong Boda to leave. Kong Boda bowed respectfully, then turned around and left silently. The imperial study returned to silence again, and only Emperor Wen sat alone on the dragon chair, lost in thought...
At night in the East Palace, everything was silent, with only the faint candlelight swaying in the darkness. Li Jingshu was lying alone on the bed, feeling extremely upset. She was thinking with a frown on her face how to help Chu Chengli regain his memory and remember every little thing they had experienced.
At this moment, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out, and the whole room fell into darkness. Then, Luo Lingyue's face appeared in front of Li Jingshu. Li Jingshu was shocked and immediately sat up from the bed. She quickly pulled out a sharp dagger, pointed it at Luo Lingyue, and shouted angrily: "Luo Lingyue! You are so brave! How dare you break into the East Palace at night! You are courting death! Someone come! There is an assassin!"
However, Luo Lingyue was not afraid at all. She easily snatched the dagger from Li Jingshu's hand and sneered: "Li Jingshu, it's only been a short time since you got married, and Chu Chengli has already despised you! How ridiculous!"
Her words were like a sharp blade, deeply hurting Li Jingshu's heart. Li Jingshu widened her eyes and looked at Luo Lingyue in disbelief. She could never have imagined that her beloved husband would actually hate her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
Luo Lingyue had a sneer of disdain on her lips. She looked at Li Jingshu mockingly and said, "Li Jingshu, Li Jingshu, you are so childish! Do you really think you can win Chu Chengli's love? It's just a foolish dream! What he loves are always those beautiful women with graceful figures and charming looks! And you are just a plaything for him at the spur of the moment!"
Li Jingshu was enraged. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily, "Shut up! Luo Lingyue, stop talking nonsense! Cheng Li has only temporarily lost his memory. Once he recovers his past memories, he will naturally understand that I am the one he truly loves!"
After hearing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... Whether he can recall the past or not, it can't change his inherent scumbag nature! He once betrayed me mercilessly, so in the same way, he is absolutely likely to abandon you like a worn-out shoe! I want to see what kind of tragic ending you will end up with!"
Li Jingshu gnashed her teeth, eyes flashing with resentment, and said fiercely: "Our ending? Luo Lingyue, don't be too happy too soon! When Cheng Li ascends the throne, I will kill all of your Luo family members, leaving no one alive!"
Luo Lingyue sneered: "That will only happen if he can become the emperor! Shu Shu, you were able to harm me before because I was not prepared for you! Do you really think you can beat me now? You are dreaming!"
