Chapter 223 I Will Never Marry Again in This Life

Ever since Gu Yuanjia learned that the princess had a bad impression of him, he has become much more cautious in what he says and does in front of the princess.

Today, good news came from the front line, saying that Shao Feiyang captured Xiling Princess Ye Ninglan alive. The messenger only gave a general idea. As for how Ye Ninglan appeared on the battlefield, Gu Yuanjia could guess about 70% of it in his heart, but he would not say it too absolutely in front of the princess.

The words "You have to ask the prince about this matter" stopped Chunzhi.

Chunzhi raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yuanjia in front of her, "Then I will wait for the prince to come back and ask."

She didn't say much to Gu Yuanjia, and they left.

Chunzhi was busy helping the refugees, while Gu Yuanjia went to Yuntai Waterside Pavilion to greet the Ninth Prince.

Two days later, Chunzhi was in the hall listening to the people below report the various expenses of settling the refugees in the past few days. A servant came in and said, "Princess, the prince has returned."

"The prince is back." Upon hearing this, Chunzhi immediately put down the account book in her hand and went out to greet him with Cui'er and others.

As she stepped out of the door, she saw Huo Zheng riding his horse and stopping in front of the gate.

In the cold winter, the north wind is blowing wildly and the streets are bleak.

The couple hadn't seen each other for many days. The moment their eyes met, they only saw each other and no one else.

Chunzhi walked quickly against the wind.

The people accompanying him all saluted and said, "Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty!"

Huo Zheng dismounted and took Chunzhi into his arms, a smile in his eyes. He whispered in her ear, "You're running so fast. It seems you really miss me."

Chunzhi's ears felt slightly hot. "It's true that I miss you, but I want to see Princess Xiling even more."

The name of Princess Xiling was well-known to her.

No one among the officials and noble ladies in the capital did not know about Ye Ninglan’s romantic stories.

Chunzhi was really curious. How could the Princess Xiling, who was rumored to be rebellious and indulge in sensual pleasures every day, appear on the battlefield?

It is said that rumors cannot be fully trusted, so what kind of legendary woman is Ye Ninglan?

"You want to see Ye Ninglan more?" Huo Zheng's eyes suddenly became a little subtle when he heard this, "You——"

Chunzhi hummed, "Where is Princess Xiling?"

Since Ye Ninglan has been captured alive and the two countries are currently negotiating, Huo Zheng should bring Princess Xiling back when he returns to Xizhou City.

"I am here."

Ye Ninglan, handcuffed with iron chains, walked out of the carriage at the back. She did not show any sign of being a prisoner of war. She still had a beautiful face and charming eyes.

"I've long heard that Princess Chang'an is a rare beauty. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is truly well-deserved." Ye Ninglan stepped forward and stopped in front of Chunzhi. "Not to mention that Prince Chang'an is fascinated by you, even I like you very much when I see you."

Chunzhi raised her eyes and looked at Ye Ninglan: "It is said that Princess Xiling is extremely beautiful and has no regard for men or women. I think the rumors are not groundless."

Ye Ninglan smiled and said, "The rumors are true. I have always loved beauties."

Shao Feiyang behind him laughed out of anger: "You didn't even let our princess go, you are really something, Ye Ninglan!"

General Shao was ordered to guard Princess Xiling for a few days, and he was teased for a few days. He saw Ye Ninglan teasing the guards in the tent until they were red in the face, and even not letting go of the birds flying in front of her tent.

Now he is still talking nonsense to the princess.

The prince is standing right here!

"What's wrong?" Ye Ninglan turned around and glanced at Shao Feiyang, "Is the young general jealous?"

Shao Feiyang was speechless for a moment, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The young general was young after all, and he was unable to resist the teasing of a habitual playboy like Ye Ninglan.

Huo Zheng said at the right moment: "Princess, enough is enough."

"Prince Chang'an has spoken, so of course I must obey." Ye Ninglan said, but his eyes were still on Chunzhi. "But when I think about the possibility of becoming a family with the princess in the future, my heart is filled with joy."

Chunzhi met the gaze of Princess Xiling, and Ye Ninglan's words sounded strange.

What does it mean that we might become a family in the future?

Huo Zheng ignored Ye Ninglan and walked inside with Chunzhi in his hand. "It's windy outside, let's go inside first."

Chunzhi walked in with Huo Zheng and asked him softly, "What did Princess Xiling mean by that just now?"

Huo Zheng said, "When two countries negotiate peace, there must be a marriage. Now Xiling wants to seek peace with our Daxing and send the princess to our Daxing for marriage."

Haruji was silent for a moment.

Huo Zheng added, "Although Ye Ninglan is already twenty-two and has a notorious reputation, she has not yet married and has no official consort. If the Emperor of Xiling wants to send a princess to marry, the choice of princess could also be Ye Ninglan."

He was afraid that Chunzhi would worry, and he also said that as for the candidate from Daxing who would marry Princess Xiling, it was uncertain.

Huo Zheng and Prince Rui Huo Yang have both married and had children. The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, who are devoted to cultivating immortality and refining medicine, have not yet married. It should be time to choose one of them.

After hearing this, Chunzhi couldn't help but say, "If it's really this Princess Xiling who's coming to Daxing for marriage, I'm afraid even the fifth and ninth brothers won't be able to control her."

Huo Zheng laughed when he heard this, "More than that, she can't be suppressed. No matter who marries her, the mansion will definitely be turned upside down by Ye Ninglan."

He said, "I don't know which unlucky guy will get married."

Chunzhi said, "It doesn't matter who it falls on, just don't let it fall on you."

Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand and squeezed it gently, "I already have you, and I will never marry again in this life."

Chunzhi pulled him behind the pillar, away from everyone's sight, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, saying softly, "I know."

Huo Zheng raised his hand and gently stroked Chunzhi's lips, wanting to kiss her, but the footsteps not far away were getting closer and closer.

Is it appropriate to engage in intimate actions in broad daylight?

Huo Zheng let go of Chunzhi and turned around to see Gu Yuanjia and a group of civil servants walking towards him.

Everyone stopped a few steps away, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite." Huo Zheng said calmly, "You all came here in such a hurry, but what's the important matter?"

Gu Yuanjia said, "It is indeed an important matter. Your Highness, please move to the main hall for a detailed discussion."

Huo Zheng turned around and looked at Chunzhi. "I'll go over there for a moment. Please have someone take Princess Xiling to her place."

"You go and do your work," Chunzhi said, "I will take good care of Princess Xiling."

Huo Zheng hooked Chunzhi's finger and said with a smile, "Thank you, Princess."

Chunzhi raised her eyebrows slightly and withdrew her hand, "Okay, go back to your business."

"Yes, sir." Huo Zheng said seriously and took Gu Yuanjia and others to the main hall.

Chunzhi stood there for a moment, waiting for Cui'er and the others to catch up, and then said, "Princess Xiling, please stay in Plum Blossom Garden for the time being."

Cui'er asked, "Let Princess Xiling live in Plum Blossom Garden? Wouldn't that mean she'd be living next door to the Ninth Prince?"

Chunzhi smiled slightly and said, "They live next to each other, so they don't cause harm to others."
