Chapter 10 Transactions in the Accounts
In the camp tent of the Northern Desert, Murong Chenxi, the fourth son of the Emperor of the Northern Desert, was sitting quietly playing chess alone, yes, only him, no one else, his opponent was himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the tent: "Tell the prince, there are two women, one of whom claims to be the princess of Chu and wants to see the prince." ”
The corners of Murong Chenxi's mouth curled into a smile, "Please let her in." After that, he continued to play chess.
Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Northern Desert asked Qianping to wait outside and led me to meet their master.
"Princess." Qianping shouted at me worriedly.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, wait for me here." Then I went with the man to see the prince of the Northern Desert, and went outside the tent, and the man waited outside, and I entered the tent alone.
There was a peerless beautiful man in the tent who was concentrating on playing against himself, and there was no one else. I was stunned, it is indeed very beautiful, it is not too much to say that he is a goblin, it is difficult to have a man as beautiful as him in the world, even if it is a woman who is captivating the country and the city, if he is in front of him, he will sigh to himself.
I guess that the man in front of me is the person I want to see, the fourth prince of the Northern Desert, and the person I escaped from marriage, Murong Chenxi.
I smiled lightly, but I still couldn't escape.
The sound of my footsteps caught his attention, and he stopped the piece he was about to fall and looked up at me, and my heart trembled, because there was emotion in his eyes that I couldn't read. Does he know me? Why is it so agitated that the pieces fall from the hand and hit the chessboard without noticing?
"Are you the Fourth Prince of the Northern Desert?" Thinking of the purpose of being here today, I asked.
"What are you looking for from me?" He also opened his mouth, and said to me in a gentle tone, that it was strange that he had never taken his eyes off me from the moment he saw me, and that it was because I had run away from marriage and would not marry him, but he was not at all annoyed, and I was very puzzled.
What kind of person is he? I can make my always shrewd imperial grandmother decree that I should marry him off.
"Can you not attack the Qi country, is it okay for the Northern Desert and the Qi country to live in peace?" I begged him, and although I don't know if he would say yes, I will try to try as long as there is a glimmer of hope, and for Junxuan's sake, I will.
"Oh?" He looked at me quietly, "I heard from my subordinates that you are the princess of Chu State, you should know that the princess of Chu State has a marriage contract with me." ”
"And then?" I asked lightly, not understanding what he meant.
He looked at me quietly, his eyes were no longer as soft as before, and presented in front of me with a cold expression, "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and Qi Junxuan, is it related to him that you came to me today?" Since you chose to run away from marriage, you should understand that you are here today to make the biggest mistake. ”
I pretended to smile calmly, "What if the marriage between the Chu State and the Northern Desert doesn't exist?" Or maybe the state of Chu and the state of Qi are married, I don't know who the prince thinks will win and who will lose in this war? ”
Haha, he laughed so loudly, he laughed so presumptuously, for some reason, his laughter made me feel uneasy.
"Do you think the Emperor of Qi would believe in a country that marries with other countries and breaks the contract?"
"......" I can't answer, I have never considered this question from the perspective of the Chu State.
I don't want to do anything bad for the Chu State.
"You haven't answered my question yet?" Although he didn't have any expression on his face, the tone of his speech was more like a commanding tone, worthy of being the fourth prince of the Northern Desert, and his behavior showed a royal demeanor.
I don't understand why he is holding on to the issue between me and Qi Junxuan, if he is angry at me and angry that I ran away from marriage and lost his face, I can understand, but from the time I entered the camp, I couldn't see that he was angry with me, but he was very concerned about me and Junxuan. This person is getting more and more incomprehensible to me.
"Jun Xuan, he is the person I like, which is why I came to you today." For a smart person like him, I don't think I need to hide it, so I might as well explain it.
"Is Qi Junxuan really that important to you?" He said word by word, with a jealous anger in his eyes.
"Yes." I replied to him that maybe before I met Jun Xuan, I would have thought that there was no one in this world who I cared about except my relatives, and I didn't understand until I met him. Just like Murong Chenxi said, of course I understand that I shouldn't come here today, let alone meet the person I ran away from, but what can I do.
"You are a high prince, you have your pride and self-esteem, Bingxi also understands that I am sorry for running away from marriage that day, I apologize to you, how can you let Jun Xuan go and stop attacking Qi State?" I begged him with all my might, and it was always someone else who begged me, and now it's my turn to beg someone else.
"Marry me." He said.
"What?" I looked at him in amazement, unable to believe what I was hearing. He asked me to marry him, did he blame me for the punishment I had for running away from marriage that day? However, I already have Junxuan in my heart.
He walked up to me lightly and whispered in my ear, "Marry me, and I will no longer attack the Qi Kingdom as you wish." ”
His words are so clear that I can't pretend that I can't hear them and can't do it, do I really want to marry him? Marrying this man who sees me through and is a stranger to me? I'm struggling and I don't know what to do.
"Can I ask you a question?" After a while, I calmed down and looked at him.
He seemed surprised by my unusual calmness and said slowly, "You ask." ”
"What kind of deal did you make with my Imperial Grandmother to get her to agree to marry me to you?" I smiled bitterly, it turns out that I am just a transaction in the royal family, a person who sacrifices for the interests of the country, even if the imperial grandmother loves me, if it involves the interests of the country, even if it is my own granddaughter, I can give it up. This may be my life, and I can't escape it.
Although this is my idea, I just haven't confirmed it with my grandmother.
Murong Chenxi turned his back to me and didn't look back, that kind of back made me strange, when I thought of marrying this strange man, is this my life?
He laughed coldly, "You don't know your imperial grandmother too well, I can only say that your imperial grandmother is the person who loves you the most in this world." ”
I opened my mouth, speechless in surprise, tears flowed down instantly, thinking about it, the bits and pieces of the emperor's grandmother's love for me appeared in my mind, such a person who loved me, I actually doubted her, is it too selfish?
He still had his back to me, and I couldn't make any of his expressions.
As he was about to step out of the tent, I said, "Why?" Why me? There are so many women in the world, why am I alone? "I asked him, I want to know an answer, I'm just an ordinary woman with the identity of the princess of Chu State, why do you have to marry a prince of the Northern Desert?
He didn't answer me, but stepped out of the tent, and a cold soaked through my body, so cold, so cold.
I was left alone in the tent to weep for my fate, for not being able to be with the person I liked, for marrying a strange man......
