Chapter 119 Pull Him Into the Water
Princess Yu'an came out of the palace.
After returning to the private residence, she and Xu Ke had their fun together there.
In fact, she has a princess's mansion.
However, it is not yet time to do whatever I want. I have to consider my reputation and not cause trouble for my mother and my brother, the crown prince.
I have been in love with Xu Ke for two years, and I have kept it a secret. No one knows except my brother, the crown prince. Including my mother...
She was half lying on the bed, thinking about something, when Xu Ke arrived.
Today, he walked briskly, and was visibly happy. Without saying a word, he came up to Princess Yu'an and hugged her, his breath spraying on her neck, and his hands pinching her hard.
Princess Yu'an felt numb all over and laughed sweetly.
"Wait a moment... wait a moment." She panted softly and pushed him weakly.
"What are you waiting for? Princess, didn't you summon me here just for this matter?"
"I called you here for a good reason... Ah! Stop moving, listen to me."
"Hurry up and talk. I can't stay here for long. I have a lot of things to do. I have to go back quickly." Xu Ke let her go, poured tea on the table next to him and drank it in big gulps.
"Lord Xu is really diligent in government affairs!" The princess straightened her clothes.
"You have to behave better recently!"
Xu Ke is smart and hardworking. He has been in the Imperial Guard for a while and has performed well. He is now planning for a promotion.
When he first decided to take this path, his family didn't quite understand.
They thought he should be like his elder brother, take the imperial examination, enter the Imperial Academy, and then be sent out to serve in other places. After a few years, he could return to the center of power.
Such a road, with the protection of the family, is very smooth.
It's just that it will take longer.
If you don't have a great opportunity, it's possible that you'll have to wait for ten or twenty years.
Moreover, Xu Ke understood that even if the family had a great opportunity, it would definitely be given to the future head of the family... He could only get some scraps and needed to be the head of the family's assistant.
He didn't want to be a stepping stone, nor did he want to be like his elder brother, who was in his twenties and had a short beard, looking like an old man.
He still refuses to be a second-generation rich kid, playing all day and living a life of luxury.
He has ability and wants to stand out!
Now it seems that this was the right choice.
"I'm telling you, don't make trouble with me about marriage anymore." Princess Yu'an said with a smile.
Xu Ke's smile faded: "Why are you bringing this up again?"
"Because I feel like I've been at a disadvantage! The Mo family is obviously a close family!"
"What's good about it?" Xu Ke sneered.
"Anywhere is fine! Otherwise, why would my seventh brother become your brother-in-law? And a close relative at that!" Princess Yu'an said with resentment.
Xu Ke was shocked. "What did you say? Your Highness the Prince of Qi? What's this about brothers-in-law?!"
"Your fiancée's younger sister, Mo Yi, is going to be the principal wife of the King of Qi!" Princess Yu'an lowered her eyes to hide her hatred.
"How is this possible?" Xu Ke didn't believe it at all. "Where did you hear that?"
"Humph! The old lady Zhao under the King of Qi has brought people into the palace to let the Queen Mother take a look! Even I have spoken to that bitch!"
Xu Ke returned to sit next to the princess, his face solemn, "Really? But why?"
"Who knows what you stinky men are thinking? The emperor didn't agree at all, but that bastard insisted! Today, the queen mother went through the motions, and it seems that the emperor wants to... It's settled."
"Is it my biological sister?" Xu Ke thought about it, but couldn't remember.
"Yes, my dear sister. Mo Jia, what kind of shit luck do you have?!" Princess Yu'an was angry and annoyed.
The marriage of Mo family was arranged by Xu Ke casually because of his own trouble. It was a coincidence...
But this time, the position of the princess? Can it still be called a coincidence?
Xu Ke thought for a while and laughed, "Perhaps the King of Qi is trying to avoid suspicion?"
"how?"
"You see, your brother is the crown prince. Apart from the emperor, his status is the most noble. But Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, is the emperor's firstborn son, so his status is self-evident. Moreover, he has made great military achievements over the years!"
Xu Ke said this, his tone unconsciously filled with respect.
In his circle, when people mention him, they all express envy and admiration...
As he thought about it, he blurted out, "That aura is not inferior to that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Maybe he wants to keep a low profile..."
Princess Yu'an listened with a gloomy face and slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground: "You fart!"
She shouted angrily and viciously, and glared at Xu Ke fiercely.
Xu Ke was startled and a surge of anger rose in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, "I don't treat the princess as an outsider, so I just said whatever came to my mind. If the princess doesn't like to hear it, I won't say it!"
Princess Yu'an held up a proud attitude and said sarcastically, "You have to understand clearly: my brother is also the queen's legitimate son!
But he was named the crown prince not only because of his status, but also because he did an excellent job, treated people with respect, and was deeply loved by the emperor and his ministers. He deserves to be the crown prince!"
Looking at Xu Ke's ugly face, Yu An said sarcastically: "The original queen... so what? Back then, wasn't she suppressed by Concubine Dong and couldn't breathe? Prince Li Yuan, should he be bullied less by Li Zhen?
Moreover, if Prince Yi had not rebelled, how could Li Yuan have been named the crown prince so early?
How much did the emperor love Li Zhen at that time? Who could surpass him?
Li Yuan's position as crown prince... was just a coincidence!
As for Li Jing, he only knows how to fight and kill. How can he be compared with my brother? Can we rule the world by fighting and killing alone?
You were born in a powerful family and have been in this circle since you were young. What's wrong with your brain? You say whatever you want... Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your family?"
This was the first time Princess Yu'an lost her temper with Xu Ke.
Xu Ke was shy and angry. He wanted to turn around and leave, and never part ways with her again.
"The princess is right!" he replied coldly.
"I don't care whether you are convinced or not, but this is the fact! Next time you open your mouth, pay attention to me and don't be so arrogant! No matter how great Li Jing's achievements are, they are all for my brother the Crown Prince! In front of my mother, he has to bow his head and call her Mother..." After saying this, he became angry again.
That bastard never called her mother, but only called her empress.
I'll find a chance to correct his mistakes in front of my father. I'll point them out to him and see how he responds...
"It's because I didn't think it through." Xu Ke's face was cold and he was obviously angry.
Princess Yu'an vented for a while, and then regretted it. She knew Xu Ke's personality... this man, she had devoted her whole body and soul to.
She sighed and softened her attitude immediately: "Xu Lang, don't blame me for being harsh. Look at me, I am usually as proud as the sun... but, I am also suffering! Dongfang Dexiang humiliated me so much, but because his family is powerful and Li Jing supports him, I... can only endure it.
Li Jing is so arrogant in front of the prince! My brother is a noble man who loves his brothers and never argues with him. But I am speaking up for the prince!"
Xu Ke listened to the princess carefully.
"Although my brother the Crown Prince has the appearance of a wise ruler, he also has his difficulties. Li Jing relies on his status and the love of his father to act arrogantly. Even you can see it, how can I not understand it? As the saying goes, there is no two suns in the sky, and the Crown Prince is also like this!
The seventh brother comes back and asks for military power. His wolfish ambition is obvious!
"Xu Lang... you have to know that once we get together... the Xu family will be inseparable from me and my brother, the Crown Prince."
After hearing this, Xu Ke broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
To be honest, he hadn't thought about it much. He was with the princess for excitement, for vanity and a sense of conquest, and also for a little love.
The two of them ate, drank and had fun, but rarely talked about state affairs.
The Xu family strictly forbids their descendants from participating in the fight for the throne, and they are only supposed to do their own job in a down-to-earth manner.
Now I heard: Even if I and the princess are together? Do I still have to drag the Xu family along?
A chill in my heart.
If his family knew about this... he couldn't refuse, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Princess Yu'an continued, "Xu Lang, we two are going to plan for the future together. You should think carefully about how you can help me and gain benefits for yourself. You should know that for a man, making achievements is the first priority!"
Xu Ke remained silent.
"My brother and I are the closest. What we did was unknown even to our mother! When he ascends the throne, I dare not say anything else, but as long as you have outstanding achievements, I can grant you the title of Marquis! You can establish a glorious Xu family!"
This prospect is indeed tempting.
The title of marquis is a hundred times better than becoming an official through imperial examination.
Xu Ke finally nodded: "Although I have come across these things before, they have little to do with me and I didn't take them to heart. Princess, you said it today, I have to think about it carefully. I said the wrong thing just now, please forgive me, Princess!"
"I'm just reminding you, not blaming you...Okay...I was wrong to lose my temper with you just now! How do you want me to apologize?"
She walked over and pulled Xu Ke...
I have to say: Xu Keren is not completely bad, she is smart, hardworking and ambitious. It's just that she was young and frivolous, and she went astray. The harder she tried, the further she went...
