For the sake of the handsome man, Ruoxi was so fearless that she rushed out and stopped the man's horse in the street.
The horses were frightened and raised their front hooves high and neighed.
Fortunately, the young man was strong and pulled the reins in time, thus preventing another soul from being killed under the horse's hooves.
The young man frowned and was about to scold her, but he saw Ru Luoxi raised her bright little face and asked with a smile,
"May I ask your name, sir?"
The young man was almost laughing because of her anger. This reckless guy confronted him without knowing the seriousness of the matter, just to ask his name?
"You don't want to live anymore?"
He was a little angry and his face darkened.
Ruo Xi looked unconvinced. She rode horses on the pasture every day, and her riding skills were superb and her movements were agile. It was easy for her to avoid such a frightened horse. If he couldn't control the horse, she could even control it on the spot.
"Alas, for you, it's not worth getting hurt. I fell in love with you at first sight. I dare to ask if you can promise me your body?"
She said this with ease, with a smile on her face, just like a female hooligan who would flirt with decent women and men in the street.
The young man really laughed this time. He had never seen a woman more ferocious than her.
"Ru Luoxi, has anyone ever told you that it's best to find out the other person's background before you do anything rude?"
He still sat high on the horse, cracking the whip from time to time, inadvertently letting people see the arrogance in him that only those born into wealthy and noble families could possess.
Ru Luoxi was a little surprised, "You know me?"
That shouldn't be the case. He is so handsome. If she had seen him, she should have had an impression of him.
He didn't answer her, just threw down a sentence,
"If you are so curious and want to know my name, go and look it up yourself."
He then walked around her and rode away, whipping the horse.
Ru Luoxi did not hesitate any longer. Looking at the boy's receding back, her curiosity was higher than ever before.
Soon, she found out his identity.
The second prince of the royal court, He Louche.
No wonder she had no impression.
Although He Louche is the second prince, he grew up almost entirely in the military camp. He rarely returns to Qicheng and rarely attends various banquets.
If you think about it carefully, they are from the same circle, but it seems that they have never appeared in the same event for all these years.
So the question is, how does He Louche know her?
Soon after, her father gave her the answer.
He Louche was sent as an envoy to Li Dynasty to seek the princess of Li Dynasty but failed. After he came back, the king intended to marry him.
Before her father expressed his opinion, He Louche directly rejected it.
When Ruo Xi heard the news, his desire to win became even more intense.
Not wanting to marry her is not a problem, but rejecting her so bluntly is too disrespectful to her!
You don't like her, right? But she likes him, and there's also a handsome guy that Ru Luoxi can't chase? She just refuses to believe this!
From that day on, Ru Luoxi seized every opportunity to appear in front of He Louche all the time.
There was no question of caring for her, it was just a show of face. During that time, He Louche felt like he was in a different situation.
But He Louche didn't take it seriously. He just thought that the little girl was just acting on impulse and would back off after a while.
Not long after, the king became seriously ill, and the struggle for the throne between He Louche and several brothers entered a white-hot stage.
One day, in order to avoid He Louqing's assassination, he climbed over the wall and fled into a villa. When he saw Ru Luoxi who was in a daze, he realized that he had entered a villa under the name of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Ru Luoxi naturally took him in, and even took advantage of him while bandaging his wounds.
He Louche was at a loss for words, but he still thanked her solemnly.
Ru Luoxi said jokingly,
"I can't repay you for saving my life, why don't you give me your body?"
He Louche laughed, but seeing that she still didn't seem to give up, he wanted to talk to her.
"Ru Luoxi, even though I don't know if you are serious about me or just joking, I still want to thank you for your kindness."
He looked at her intently, his eyes full of sincerity.
"But I'm sorry, I already have a crush on someone."
Ru Luoxi fell silent, and the smile that usually appeared on her face disappeared.
"Is it the Princess of Dali? But I heard that she is already the Queen of Dali."
He Louche didn't hide it from her and nodded.
"Even though she's married, I still can't let her go."
His eyes were gentle when he said this, as if he was recalling some nostalgic scene.
Ru Luoxi's enthusiasm seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
The man in front of her was handsome, sincere, and upright; everything about him just hit her aesthetic point.
Everything is good about him, the only bad thing is that he has someone else in his heart.
She suddenly felt very boring.
The way she had been hanging around him before now seemed really stupid.
Now that things have come out, no matter how much she likes him, she, Ru Luoxi, would not bother to rush around and stick to a man who has someone else in his heart.
She lowered her head and said lightly,
"I won't ask you a third time."
…
Not long after, the king died. After a fierce fighting, He Louche finally became the final winner and ascended the throne.
After knowing this, Ru Luoxi just said "Oh" faintly. She seemed calm, but she still couldn't let it go in her heart.
He Louche had been on the throne for three years, but the harem had remained vacant. No matter how the officials persuaded him, he refused to appoint a queen.
As Luo Xi knew, he was still waiting for his sweetheart.
How should I put it? It's quite infatuated.
Sometimes she would be a little jealous of the empress of the Li Dynasty whose name she didn't know. After all, someone thousands of miles away still missed her, so the empress must have been a very good woman.
During these three years, she continued to live a carefree life, living her life as she pleased. She occasionally met He Louche in different situations, but she did not deliberately avoid him. But to be honest, she had never met anyone she liked more.
Ru Luoxi is already eighteen years old this year. Due to her reputation as a little bully in Qicheng, no one has come to propose marriage to her over the years. Her father has begun to arrange her marriage anxiously.
Soon, King Tuo, who was also from the same tribal leader clan, extended an olive branch and expressed his intention to form a marriage alliance with Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Tuo was fair-skinned and weak, not like a boy from Beiqiong, but more like a scholar from Dali. Fortunately, he was handsome and gentle, so Ruoxi was not repulsed by him.
Just when she thought the marriage was finalized, Prince Tuo's Mansion, contrary to its usual behavior, began to avoid the issue and refused to mention the marriage that they had discussed so happily before.
Ru Luoxi didn't care. At most she could just change someone else. But she was a little curious about why the attitude of Prince Tuo's Mansion changed so quickly.
It wasn't until He Louche stood in front of her that she suddenly realized.
"Ruloxi, are you willing to be my queen?"
Ru Luoxi was bewildered, but couldn't help feeling overjoyed.
She secretly cursed herself for being useless and held up an expressionless face.
"You are not being pushed too hard by the ministers and just want to find someone to marry, are you?"
"Of course not. I would ask you to marry me for only one reason, and that is because I love you."
But she still looked skeptical.
"Let it go? You can't love one in your heart and put another by your side, right?"
He Louche looked at her bright and beautiful face, smiling brightly with his eyes crooked.
"It took me three years to let her go, and it also took me three years to prove that you are the one my heart desires."
If his love for Ning Xihua was a stunning glance and a love that lasted a lifetime in his youth, then his love for Ruo Xi was the result of twists and turns and the accumulation of emotions over time.
He rejected her, but since some time ago, his eyes would always be attracted to her involuntarily.
She is lively and generous, never fussy about people or things, and always has a bright smile on her face, as if she has no worries.
Seeing her smile, he would be filled with joy, and seeing her being intimate with other men, he would feel jealous.
He was unsure of the authenticity of this feeling, and was torn between his promise to Ning Xihua and his feelings for her.
Later he thought, if she was still unmarried after three years and he was still attracted to her, then that would be her.
Different from his love for Ning Xihua, he seemed to have gradually understood what love was during these more than a thousand days and nights.
Liking someone will make him feel lost, worried, and blessed even when he loses. But love makes him think about it day and night, unable to sleep, and wants to possess the person by any means necessary.
After confirming all this, he deliberately disrupted her marriage with Prince Tuo's family and stood in front of her again.
Ru Luoxi looked up at him, her eyes still showing the same light as three years ago.
"I told you I wouldn't ask you a third time."
He Louche smiled and replied,
"I know, so now it's my turn to ask you, are you willing?"
Ru Luoxi endured for a long time, but finally couldn't help it, and secretly raised the corners of her mouth. She said proudly,
"I'm not easy to chase, it depends on your performance."
He Louche was extremely happy, his grey eyes were full of fiery light.
"Well, I'll try my best."
At this moment, the King of Beiqiong threw away the calmness and ruthlessness he had acquired over the years, and just like the young man back then, he showed the most brilliant smile to his sweetheart.
He Louche no longer had any regrets in his heart, only happiness and gratitude.
Ning Xihua, you are right, I finally encountered the scenery that belongs only to me.
