Chapter 083: Intercession
"Lord Wang, please respect yourself, the slave doesn't want to be your concubine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
She ducked to the side with a dizzy head, shivering like a helpless fawn.
"Why do you always reject this king?" Yang An asked angrily: "Is it because this king has done something bad, or is this king not worthy of you?" β
"Don't laugh at the prince," Cheng Jingjing wrapped her clothes tightly, avoiding his aggressive gaze and said, "You are the high-ranking Prince An, and the slave is not worthy of you." β
"Just because of this?" Yang An's sharp eyes forced her to ask.
Cheng Jingjing had no choice but to surrender and said the knot in her heart: "Maybe you are used to the life of three wives and four concubines, but I will never be able to adapt to it, and I will never marry a man with three wives." And you are a slender husband, I promised her that she would never take away her love, so please don't embarrass me anymore. The prince's great kindness to me can only be repaid in the next life. β
After listening to her words, Yang An fell silent for a while, and when she thought that she was going to be ruthlessly ridiculed again, she only heard him say: "Although there are two princesses and one lady in this palace, they and I are both empty husband and wife, and there has never been a relationship between lovers. This king tells you this, can you let go of the mustard? β
Cheng Jingjing's heart trembled, why didn't he laugh at his eccentricity like others, was he really willing to give up his three wives and four concubines for himself?
"That'...... That's not good......" She shook her head in a panic and said helplessly: "But you are the man you love the most, I can't snatch my good sister's husband, this is absolutely impossible, and the last thing I can hurt in this world is her." Lord Wang, please go back, you and I will treat tonight's incident as if nothing happened. β
"How can it be as if nothing happened?" Yang An grabbed her wrist, and her sharp gaze gave her nowhere to hide.
"There has never been a relationship between this king and her, everything is just wishful thinking on her part, is it because of this that you have been avoiding me? Can't this king marry a woman he really likes in his life? β
Yang An's words and words burned her heart like fire, Cheng Jingjing held back the throbbing in her heart, and tried to pretend to be ruthless and said: "Even if the slave maid marries a beggar in this life, she is not willing to marry the prince, so please don't entangle me anymore!" β
"Hmm...... Who's arguing......"
Because she spoke too loudly, Yuexi on the side rubbed her eyes as if she was about to wake up. Yang An didn't want to be found out, so he let go of Cheng Jingjing's hand and said: "This king, as long as you remember, you are the first woman in my life who wants to marry into the door, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, it is useless." β
After he finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night, leaving Cheng Jingjing to sit on the ground alone, uneasy.
In a luxuriously decorated bedroom, Long Ying was lying on the bed bored, knocking melon seeds and eating peanuts. When she heard footsteps outside the door, she hurriedly swept everything under the bed, and then lifted the quilt and skillfully got in.
"Don't pretend, it's your cousin and me."
Hearing a familiar voice outside, she opened her eyes with confidence and got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, cousin, I thought it was the prince who came to see me." β
"You stinky girl, weren't you sick yesterday?" Long Yu'er saw that she was radiant and didn't look frightened at all, so she asked, "Did you pretend to be yesterday?" β
"It's not fully loaded," Long Ying said distressedly, "I've been in the water for a long time, and I accidentally drank a few mouthfuls of disgusting lake water, so I can't even eat now." β
"If you can't eat, you can eat melon seeds and peanuts?"
Long Yuer lifted the quilt and exposed all her 'incriminating evidence'. Long Ying said embarrassedly: "Cousin, you don't know that I love to eat these things since I was a child, and it's too boring to lie in bed to recuperate, so I can't help but secretly take some out to eat." β
"That's all you want!" Long Yu'er sat on the edge of the bed, tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "When you become the princess of King An's Mansion in the future, do you want to eat any good things." You have behaved well during this time, and the prince doesn't seem to hate you anymore, but who asked you to provoke Cheng Jingjing, why don't you discuss it with me? β
"I just want to see how powerful she can be," Long Ying raised her chin proudly: "But that's it, Lord An didn't feel sorry for me for falling into the water and punishing them." Cousin, do you say that Prince An likes me in his heart? β
Looking at her radiant face, a trace of jealousy rose in Long Yuer's heart, once upon a time, she was like her and longed for marrying into King An's mansion, but now she has fallen into such a neglected situation, fighting openly and secretly like a resentful woman every day.
"Cousin?" Seeing that the other party didn't answer herself, Long Ying shook her shoulder suspiciously.
Only then did Long Yu'er come back to her senses and said, "Don't be complacent too early, the prince's mind has always been unpredictable, you still need to show more and try to attract the prince's attention." β
"Attract the attention of the prince......"
Long Ying shook her little head thoughtfully, and a large number of ghost ideas rushed out. The biggest difference between her and ordinary women is that she is energetic, has a lot of ideas, and most importantly, she has a bold and fearless personality like a man, and she is not the same kind of person at all as those young ladies who like to stay in the boudoir.
No wonder Prince An looked at her differently, Long Yu'er sighed in her heart, her little cousin can be regarded as a unique existence.
"Finally free!"
Three days later, Yuexi dragged her tired body back to Youlan Courtyard, and Cheng Jingjing came in after her, and the two looked very bad.
"Auntie, you're back," Hua Pan brought tea over, looked at them distressedly and asked, "Why is there no food in the ancestral hall, you haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have become emaciated." β
"It doesn't matter how much you eat," Yue Xi sat on a chair and drank tea in a big gulp, "I have to kneel in the shrine during the day and stay up late at night to copy books, which really hurts my life." The two big maids who guarded us were still fierce, and they didn't even have a chance to be lazy. β
"Look at how impulsive you dare next time," Cheng Jingjing reprimanded her: "In the future, without my order, you are not allowed to act without permission." This time it's just a punishment for kneeling and copying books, and next time if you are punished with a cane, I won't be able to save you. β
"The slave knows it's wrong." Yue Xi bowed his head pitifully.
Seeing that she had learned enough lessons this time, Cheng Jingjing stopped making more accusations, turned her head and asked Huabian: "In the past few days when we are away, has Long Ying still come to make trouble, have you embarrassed Mrs. Wen?" β
"Not anymore, but the little girl looks innocent and romantic, but her heart is so bad, it's really eye-opening."
