Chapter 3: Waiting for you on the wedding night, princess
The hot breath was so close, Jiang Yueying didn't dare to show any fear, she just stood there, her face flushed quickly.
Fortunately, this embarrassment is seen as a precursor to anger by others.
Everyone would just think that she was angry with Xie Yuting.
The two countries' most vicious heirs of the throne clashed with each other, and no one dared to breathe.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please respect yourself." Jiang Yueying gritted her teeth and continued to pretend to be fierce.
Xie Yuting sneered, slowly stood up, spun the gold-sprinkled folding fan in his hand, and placed the handle of the fan against Jiang Yueying's small chin, speaking in a very bad tone.
"I'll be waiting for you on your wedding night, Your Highness."
Without giving Jiang Yueying a chance to react, he turned around gracefully.
He was such a difficult person to deal with. Jiang Yueying felt suffocated at the thought of having to share a room with him in the future.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
The matter of letting her stay in the inn is not over yet.
She lifted her skirt and sat on the chair, her back straight and her eyes cold, like an icy magic needle that could stabilize the sea.
"I wonder if anyone among you can give me an explanation?"
An official in green robe took advantage of his position at the back of the crowd and showed a sarcastic smile. She was just a princess from a defeated country, sent here for marriage alliance. Did she really think she was the future queen of Liang?
Even if she really wanted to be the queen, Xie Yuting, this playboy, would be deposed by his brothers sooner or later. The other princes kept him around only because they needed a waste to occupy the position of crown prince. Otherwise, how could they have allowed him to stay until now?
When the time is right, it will be easy to destroy Xie Yuting.
As for Princess Anyi, her life as the Crown Princess of a half-dead man was over.
He snorted coldly, and just as the wind stopped, the contemptuous laugh easily reached everyone's ears.
"Do you have something to say?" Jiang Yueying said.
Before the green-robed official could make an excuse, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. With a thud, he was kicked away and fell to the ground on all fours.
He turned around in shock and anger, only to meet a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes.
Xie Yuting, why hasn't he left yet?!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Lord Li, you seem very dissatisfied with my Crown Princess?"
Li Yan quickly leaned forward and kowtowed: "I dare not, I absolutely dare not!"
Seeing that Xie Yuting didn't move, Li Yan's heart skipped a beat. Although Xie Yuting was a fool, he had many ways of torturing people. Once, an official offended him, and he ordered his men to strip off his clothes and run around Kyoto.
He was a real little devil, but because of his status as the prince, people only dared to scold him in private and no one dared to confront him openly.
Thinking of this, Li Yan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't understand how he had offended this bastard. He could only swallow his grievance and crawled to Jiang Yueying's feet, begging for mercy loudly: "Princess, please forgive me!"
Jiang Yueying didn't even raise her eyelids and kicked him to the ground: "Get out of here, useless piece of shit!"
Pa pa pa.
Xie Yuting couldn't help but applaud when he saw this scene, with a lazy smile still on the corner of his lips.
No one could figure out the mood of this unpredictable Crown Prince.
Could it be to protect Princess Anyi?
It's impossible. Xie Yuting has always been a bad person. Even if he is nice to someone, he might just be trying to play a trick on them. Don't take him seriously.
"Princess, you are so cold. At the very least, you should say thank you to your husband, right?"
Xie Yuting had unknowingly sat down on the rosewood armchair, leaning sideways with his left foot slightly raised. A servant was bending down to wipe the toe of his boots because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just kicked someone and he thought it was dirty.
As soon as the frivolous words came out, the officials secretly curled their lips, thinking that the prince really didn't hold back his words well. When the two of them got married in the future, the Eastern Palace would be very lively. They would probably fight in bed every day.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is staying here. Perhaps he also wants to stay at the inn?"
Both of them sat on the chairs in an arrogant posture, facing each other at a distance, seeing each other's expressions clearly, and the silent smoke of war quickly spread.
Xie Yuting looked carefully at the rumored Princess Anyi.
It was heard that Jiang Yueying was extremely domineering in Nanjiang, and almost all the palace maids in her palace had been whipped by her. However, the old emperor treated her like an eye and never punished her severely even if she beat someone to death. As a result, she became more and more unrestrained, and no one in Jiang State dared to provoke her.
I thought this princess should look ferocious, but I didn't expect that a woman with such a vicious mind would have such a good appearance that made countless people jealous.
What a waste of resources.
At the same time, Jiang Yueying stared at Xie Yuting without blinking.
The reputation of the dissolute prince Xie Yuting spread throughout the world. Jiang Yueying naturally assumed that he must be extremely ugly, so she imagined him as a good-for-nothing.
Seeing him today, I found that this guy looks like a handsome man when he is silent. I am afraid that there are not many men as handsome as him in the Liang and Jiang countries combined.
It's a pity that it's all show and no substance, and its beautiful appearance is wasted.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that Xie Yuting was a pretentious and artificial fool, otherwise he would have to be on guard against him every day.
She noticed that behind the Crown Prince stood a young man in black, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with a young and handsome face, a body as straight as a pine or bamboo, and an expressionless face as he held a black knife to his chest, and he never left Xie Yuting's side.
Who is this kid.
Xie Yuting already had a child before marrying the Crown Princess?
But he doesn't look that old, which is really strange.
Jiang Yueying suppressed all her doubts for the time being.
The silence was so deafening that you could hear a pin drop. All the officials held their breath.
After staring at each other for a moment, they both withdrew their presumptuous and wandering gazes at the same time.
Xie Yuting yawned, blinked his affectionate peach blossom eyes at Jiang Yueying opposite him, and walked away waving his fan in an ambiguous manner.
Leaving everyone with a gradually receding back.
After Xie Yuting left, Li Yan, who was covered in dust, stood up immediately, with resentment that could not be hidden in his eyes.
A big stone in Jiang Yueying's heart finally fell. No matter what, she finally hit someone today, and the other party was kicked into mud. Isn't that vicious enough?
Fortunately, the person who was beaten was not an innocent person, and Jiang Yueying felt much better.
As a result, he began to look at the officials of Liang State with a more favorable impression.
She sat stiffly at the gate of the inn, a face sullen, in the gentle west wind for two hours. The officials below her kept her company while someone secretly sent out a message. Not long after, the emperor's oral order finally arrived, arranging for Princess Anyi to temporarily reside in the imperial palace.
Jiang Yueying guessed correctly that Liang State did not really intend to let her live in the inn. If this matter became a big deal, Liang State would inevitably be branded as petty, so it was just to annoy people.
During those years when the difference in military strength was not much, Liang and Jiang, as neighboring countries, fought against each other most frequently among the Five Countries. The people of the two countries hated each other and would always roll their eyes when they accidentally met.
Unfortunately, there is no eternal balance of power in the world. In recent years, the military camp of Jiang State has been filled with young masters from aristocratic families. They are lazy and slack all day long, which has dragged down many troops. Naturally, they cannot defeat the increasingly powerful Northern Liang.
The two sides had been fighting for so many years, so Beiliang naturally made things difficult when it got the chance to show off, which made it hard for her, the fake princess who came from afar.
She doesn't have the good fortune of a real princess and is only worthy of suffering for her.
On the way to the villa, Jiang Yueying held up her calf in the carriage, lowered her head and rubbed her foot. It hurt so much... It hurts so much to kick someone...
Her little face was filled with grievance, and she only dared to show a little vulnerability when no one was around.
Her forearm felt a slight sting, and Jiang Yueying rolled up her sleeves, her eyes widening. The place where Xie Yuting had gripped her was actually red, standing out prominently on her fair skin, like white porcelain rubbed with cinnabar, and in the shape of several finger marks.
Damn Xie Yuting.
Jiang Yueying pouted, feeling extremely unwilling to marry such a man.
But the wedding was a foregone conclusion three days later, and no one could stop it.
…
East Palace, Koi Pond.
The ripples formed circles, and koi fish swam and emerged from the water.
Xie Yuting leaned against a tall ginkgo tree, his embroidered robe slightly loose, and he pinched fish food with his fingertips and threw it into the pond. The red fish jumped out of the water one after another, competing for the few delicacies.
The stern-faced young man standing behind him suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness kicked Li Yan because he said you were hopeless?"
"Xiao Lang is really clever." Xie Yuting deliberately threw the fish food far away, and the fish immediately scurried away. "After all, I've long disliked that old man. I have to thank Princess Jiang for giving me this opportunity. If it were any other time, my father would have to teach me a lesson, and with all the chaos today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to take care of such a small matter."
Yu Lang nodded, his cold face revealing a hint of doubt that befits a young man: "But Your Highness has vented his anger, so why is he still unhappy?"
"How can you tell that I'm unhappy?" Xie Yuting asked back.
Yu Lang pursed her lips: "Intuition."
Xie Yuting was fanning himself with a fan, looking lazy.
"Do you think I'm a good match for that princess?"
Yu Lang immediately shook his head: "She is a bad woman."
The marriage between the domineering princess and the dandy prince would surely cause chaos. Knowing that this marriage was an ill-fated one, Emperor Liang still insisted on leaving the "good thing" of the marriage to Xie Yuting. Yu Lang frowned, feeling sorry for his master.
He had been ordered to investigate the Princess of Jiang State. What she had done was not only outrageous, she even killed her own wet nurse without a trace of humanity.
His master should have married a gentle, considerate, intelligent and noble princess, and the two of them should have supported each other and loved each other deeply. But now, because of an arranged marriage, everything was completely ruined.
The more Yu Lang thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned cold.
Xie Yuting had fed his fill of fish and turned back to find his guards frozen into small ice cubes. He chuckled, "Xiao Lang, I'm not asking you to marry me, so why do you look so grim?"
"It would be better if I could marry you."
Yu Lang was extremely upset. They said that personal guards could share all the pain for their masters, so why couldn't they help their masters find wives? He was really useless and couldn't help his master.
His eyebrows were furrowed into furrows, and his young face showed an expression that was completely inconsistent with his age.
Xie Yuting on the opposite side was amused by his bitter and vengeful look.
The cool breeze urges people to move, and before they know it, the clouds are turning yellow.
Xie Yuting stood up, and the ginkgo tree trembled its branches. A few golden ginkgo leaves fell into the pond, spreading layers of ripples and startling the koi carp wagging their tails.
"Your Highness, is there really no room for maneuver?"
Xie Yuting folded the folding fan in his palm and shook his head.
Her eyes darkened, and her peach blossom eyes, which were as bright as spring water, suddenly turned cold. The frivolous air disappeared, and her tone suddenly became serious.
"It's okay, just wait until the time is right and then stop."
