"That's one thing. Second, if I tell you, how are you willing to repay me?"
Qiao Yuange was not polite. Now that the topic had come to this, he asked directly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Promise yourself to me."
Xiao Yuli basically said it without hesitation.
Qiao Yuange immediately sneered, clicked his tongue, and said unhappily, "It's not over yet, is it? Is it interesting? What's wrong? Why am I so outstanding that you must marry me, right? Will you get promoted or make a fortune by marrying me? You all fought over me and snatched me away. I wonder if you still think I'm the only woman in the world!"
The emperor standing nearby thought that Xiao Yuli's request was a bit excessive.
Who would have thought that before the emperor could speak, Qiao Yuange couldn't help but retort to Xiao Yuli.
Sure enough, after hearing what Qiao Yuange said, Xiao Yuli's face changed. He seemed to want to say something, but stopped.
Then Fang Yuan came over with her luggage. She had nowhere to stay. Since she had been married to Xiao Yuli, it would be better for her to stay here for the time being.
When she came to Xiao Yuli's courtyard with a roll of luggage and two maids, she saw the emperor, Xiao Yuli and Qiao Yuange were all there.
She had only known these few people since she came to the palace. Seeing these people standing here actually made her feel frightened from the bottom of her heart.
She took a step back, picked up her luggage and prepared to leave.
But Xiao Yuli and the emperor had already turned around and saw her.
The emperor took two quick steps and stood in front of her, looking her up and down, and then said to her: "Sister-in-law, you are here at the right time. Since I have already granted you marriage, why didn't you come earlier?"
"It would be nice if we could just discuss the details of the wedding."
Xiao Yuli opened his mouth immediately and continued, "I don't plan to prepare a wedding for her. This matter can wait."
Fang Yuan also opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Xiao Yuli and the emperor ignored her.
The emperor refused to listen to Xiao Yuli's explanation and said in a cold voice: "Brother, do you think that our marriage is a joke? Can you just deal with it casually?"
"I have chosen a marriage partner for you. Are you not satisfied?"
Isn't this nonsense? It's strange that Xiao Yuli is satisfied!
Xiao Yuli has his eyes on Qiao Yuange, but the emperor won't let her go no matter what.
"I dare not." Xiao Yuli lowered his head slightly and sighed softly.
The emperor pretended not to hear and said to Fang Yuan, "Did you hear that? His Highness is very pleased with you. Go back home and pack up and get ready to marry me."
Fang Yuan thought that this emperor was really strange. Even if he hated her, he wouldn't be so determined to marry her off, right?
It was at this time that Fang Yuan, not knowing where she got the courage from, stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Highness, I want to say a few words to you."
Xiao Yuli had been in a bad mood since the beginning, and when Fang Yuan called him over by name, he felt even more angry. However, the emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Yuli had no choice but to follow.
Under the willow tree beside the courtyard, Xiao Yuli put his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice: "Miss Fang, why do you insist on getting involved in this mess? Don't you know that if we were to do this, we would have been unable to move an inch in the palace!"
Miss Fang? What kind of address is this? Does it mean that since Fang Yuan is of no help to Xiao Yuli, he has to draw a line between them?
"Cousin, why do you call me like that?"
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and a trace of compassion flashed across her eyes.
Then she lowered her head and smiled, seeming quite unhappy.
But she was inexperienced after all, and all her thoughts were reflected on her face.
Xiao Yuli didn't say anything, but Fang Yuan continued: "I thought that since we are relatives, we can naturally advance together in the harem, but who would have thought that you would regard me as a burden..."
The girl in front of me was crying, just like the little tricks she often played when she was a child.
When Xiao Yuli turned around and looked at her, he saw sadness in her eyes.
His heart moved slightly, and he sighed and said, "That's enough. There is no need to say more. The king has no wife to listen to your nonsense."
After saying this, Xiao Yuli turned around and went back to the small courtyard.
After seeing Xiao Yuli leave, the emperor came over immediately and pretended to be angry and said to Qiao Yuange: "If he really told you about your past life experience...what are you going to do? Are you really going to marry her?"
Qiao Yuange stood there with his arms folded across his chest, and said nonchalantly, "Actually... my past life experience doesn't mean anything to me, and it has no impact on my life now. The reason I want to know this is because I'm curious."
"But curiosity kills the cat. Knowing those things may not be a good thing for me."
After Qiao Yuange finished speaking slowly, the emperor frowned. He really didn't think so. Qiao Yuange was smart and calm, and not everyone could compare to him.
"Since you clearly know that the result may not be good, why do you still want to dig deeper?"
Qiao Yuange raised her eyes calmly, and suddenly said seriously: "My memory is not very good, and I really can't remember some things. But I hope to find those memories, not for others, but for those who bullied me before, I can't just let it go."
After Qiao Yuange finished speaking, he immediately turned around and looked at Fang Yuan.
Her eyes were cold and her hands were clasped tightly together.
The emperor was very smart. He naturally noticed Qiao Yuange's small movement at a glance and took a breath.
He didn't know what Qiao Yuange would do, but he didn't think that Qiao Yuange was a bad woman just because she used tricks.
The two of them didn't talk anymore. When Xiao Yuli came back, he said to Qiao Yuange without any hesitation, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to pledge yourself to me?"
Qiao Yuange said calmly: "I have made up my mind. I don't intend to pledge my love to you. Not only that, I will find out about this matter myself."
After he finished speaking, Qiao Yuange stood behind the emperor, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his expression calm and gentle, and of course a little proud.
For some reason, the emperor was actually very proud at this moment, as if he felt that since Xiao Yuli failed to catch Qiao Yuange, he had an opportunity.
The emperor turned around and said to Qiao Yuange, "Let's go back to the palace."
After taking two steps, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said to Xiao Yuli, "Hurry up and pack your things and marry Fang Yuan. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
Xiao Yuli gritted his teeth and respectfully saw the emperor off.
The emperor and Qiao Yuange went to Taixing Palace one after another.
Just as they entered Taixing Palace, Eunuch Li rushed over and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Prince Yun is here."
