After a long silence, Shen Xu picked up the beef patties placed on the small table in the carriage.
She opened her mouth and took a big bite. The familiar aroma filled her mouth. As the tender juice of the beef patty overflowed between her teeth and tongue, tears also flowed from her eyes.
She chewed the beef patty in big mouthfuls, tears streaming down her face.
The strong sense of frustration made her feel powerless in facing the world and accomplishing nothing.
I didn’t find my memory, I didn’t find my family, and I also lost Ah Lin and my uncle...
She tightly grasped the beef patty that she had taken a few bites of, buried her head in her arms and cried for a long time.
…
They stayed overnight at the border of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Early in the morning.
As soon as Shen Xu opened the door, she saw Pei Zhiyuan standing at her door with a dejected look on his face, hesitating whether to knock on the door to wake her up.
Seeing her open the door and come out, he touched his nose with his raised hand, but stood there at a loss.
After a long while, he stammered, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday..."
Chen Xu did not mention what happened in the carriage yesterday, but said calmly, "We are about to enter the border of Yanyang Kingdom. We should show the courage of the Regent King of Haoyue Kingdom and don't let others look down on us."
"Oh..." Pei Zhiyuan turned around dejectedly, obviously still bothered by what happened yesterday.
He had always been reluctant to break that window paper because he knew that the probability of Chen Xu accepting to be with him was extremely low.
That's why I accompanied her silently without saying anything.
But yesterday, I forgot about it for a moment and actually...
When a stable relationship is broken and develops in a bad direction, people will feel particularly uncomfortable and not know how to deal with it.
Seeing him walk down the stairs dejectedly, as if he had lost all his fighting spirit, Shen Xu quickly stepped forward and patted him hard on the back and shoulder.
"Hey! What are you doing? How can there be such a depressed regent in Haoyue Kingdom? Let's drink to the wedding, be happy, okay? We are all Xue Yu's family."
Pei Zhiyuan was startled by the slap, and looked back at her pitifully: "Miss Shen, I have never asked you for anything..."
Shen Xu stared at him silently, and after a while he finally said, "Then tell me."
"I have nothing but you. Please don't leave me, don't abandon me, okay?"
Shen Xu's eyes reddened, and he hugged Pei Zhiyuan tightly, agreeing, "Okay."
Pei Zhiyuan reached out to hug her, his voice hoarse, "Then can I marry you?"
"Bah, you can only make one request." Shen Xu wiped her tears on Pei Zhiyuan's clothes. Feeling his warm embrace, she was a little dazed.
"After three years of work, you can only make one request. How cruel!"
"You don't work for me."
"I asked you to ascend the throne, but you refused. Do you blame me?" Pei Zhiyuan hugged her tightly, refusing to let go, but he didn't dare to kiss her.
He was afraid of causing her dislike again, and he was afraid of being completely banished to the cold palace.
After a while, he stammered, "Then can you try to love me once?"
Shen Xu gently let go of him and looked into his eyes with red eyes.
Seeing his silent dedication and hard work, she finally softened her heart.
After a long silence, she nodded cautiously, "Okay."
Pei Zhiyuan showed a smile that was both happy and sad. He asked softly, "Then this time when we go to Xiling, you will pretend to be my princess."
"Is our regent so proud?"
"I quit. I'm on strike. If they can't even meet these trivial demands, what's the point of having this powerful position of regent?"
"Oh, okay, okay, you're going to cry if I don't agree." Shen Xu patted his back and tried to wipe the tears that were overflowing onto his clothes.
"Then can you kiss me?"
"Pei Zhiyuan, you are shameless and you are pushing your luck."
"Humph, if you don't want to kiss me, then don't kiss me."
Pei Zhiyuan grabbed the man with his big hand and carried him down the stairs. He felt a little happy in his heart. This way, at least he had a chance.
......
Xiling City
When Lin Mu brought Xue Yu in, Liu Chun arrived with the imperial edict.
Seeing the whole hall decorated with lights and colorful decorations, I was stunned for a long time.
I thought the princess was married off overnight in Xiling City.
Liu Chun explained his purpose and everyone's faces immediately turned bad.
The royal court of Yanyang Kingdom wanted to appoint Lin Fuxue as the imperial concubine and asked her to enter the palace immediately to wait for the appointment.
All the relatives of the Lin family showed expressions of reluctance on their faces.
It is rumored that the current emperor is inhumane, and the eldest niece was canonized into the palace as a concubine. For the Lin family, this is not an honor, but a coercion.
However, the imperial court now has 600,000 troops at its disposal. If they resist, it would be like Lucheng, which is like hitting a rock with an egg.
"Accept the order, Princess Lin." Liu Chun's face was full of contempt. The small Xiling City was not worthy of his attention.
Lin Fuxue knelt on the ground and looked at Lin Si for help.
Lin Si frowned. In the past, his elder brother always supported him in everything, so he, as a younger brother, could be ignorant of the world and do whatever he wanted.
But now that he has taken the position of city lord, he has to take care of the economy of Xiling City, the people's livelihood of Xiling City, and maintain the peace of Xiling City. He suddenly feels the pressure is like a tidal wave.
He hesitated to accept the order, but could not think of any way to get out of the predicament, so he could only kneel on the ground.
Liu Chun urged, "Lord of Xiling City, refusing the imperial edict is tantamount to treason."
Xue Yu stood up directly, and asked with a soft smile, "Are you willing to marry me, niece?"
Lin Fuxue frowned and shook her head.
"Then I, Aunt Wu, will make the decision for you."
Xue Yu walked forward slowly, picked up the imperial edict from the messenger's hand, and threw it into the brazier nonchalantly.
"You, you dare to burn the imperial edict." Liu Chun was so anxious that he was dumbfounded when he saw this.
