After Ling Hua and Xiao Yu left the palace, they came to the imperial garden. Ling Hua’s eyes were dim, and the gentle sunlight shone down on her body.
Ling Hua felt cold all over, the autumn sun had warmed her body, but it couldn’t warm her heart, it was as if she was in darkness right now.
In the pitch black darkness, she was frowning. She had some feelings for Hu Qi after all, but she did not want to end up like her mother, and not even the words of the royalty could be trusted.
Ling Hua closed her eyes and walked to a pavilion and sat down.
"Ling Hua, what’s wrong?" Xiao Yu followed behind Ling Hua. She knew that Ling Hua was not in a good mood right now, but she was suspicious. Why would Ling Hua reject marrying the crown prince?
Ling Hua sat in the pavilion and looked at the golden carp in the pond. The corners of her mouth twitched: "I’m fine."
Xiao Yu frowned and walked to the front of Ling Hua, blocking her gaze and forcing Ling Hua to look at her.
"Ling Hua, look at me. You obviously have something on your mind, but I can tell that you obviously like the crown prince, so why don’t you agree?" Xiao Yu frowned, she really did not understand what Ling Hua was thinking.
The Crown Prince liked Ling Hua so much, and it wasn’t that Ling Hua didn’t like the Crown Prince, why would he reject him? Xiao Yu was a little confused.
"Xiao Yu, you don’t understand." Ling Hua pursed her lips, and pulled Xiao Yu to sit on a stone bench.
His gaze looked into the distance as the autumn wind blew past. Like a mischievous girl, it lifted up a strand of hair on Ling Hua’s forehead and played around in the air silently.
"Men’s words are only temporary." Ling Hua sneered.
"Do you really think that men will really like a person forever and ever? It’s just that she’s interested in you for the next twenty-eight years, and when you’re old enough to see other beautiful women, he’s going to use flowery words to talk to that beautiful young woman. " Ling Hua walked to the side of the pavilion, raised her hand and splashed the fish into the pond beside him.
All of the carp in the pond rushed over and fought over the fish food.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu seemed to understand something, she tilted her head and asked Ling Hua: "What do you mean?"
Ling Hua turned around and said to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, I’ll tell you a story."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Sure."
"There was a beautiful lady who met a young master ..." Ling Hua began to narrate a story to Xiao Yu. This story truly existed.
It’s impossible for her to be with Hu Qi. She doesn’t want to, and she doesn’t want to, but the sweet words that I said to you today, will be used on other women in the future.
After Ling Hua finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and her mind continued to flash with the things in the story she had just told him.
After Xiao Yu finished listening, she was completely shocked.
"Is that really the case?" Xiao Yu was a little disbelieving. When she first heard about how nice the Young Master was to the girl, she thought that they would really be able to live happily ever after, but she didn’t expect that ...
Is it true that all men are like this? Like young and beautiful girls? When you gave your heart to him, he turned and left?
"So do you know why I didn’t agree?" Ling Hua sat on the stone chair, her gaze on the little ants crawling on the stone table.
"But ..." "Your Highness, you don’t look like one either ..." Xiao Yu muttered.
"Isn’t that man similar?" Ling Hua sneered.
He was just a righteous hypocrite, how could the words he said count? The path that her mother had taken, she would never step foot on it again, not even if she was alone for the rest of her life.
Xiao Yu sighed in her heart, she better not get married in the future.
Inside the palace, Hu Xiao’s face returned to normal. After a while, she looked at Lu Yin and said: "You go first."
Lu Yin nodded, he had already told her everything that needed to be said, and only hoped that he could help her.
Within another palace.
Hu Qi stood on top of the great hall and sat on top of it. A pair of shrewd eyes looked down at Hu Qi, who was standing below.
Hu Guang looked down at his son, who was frowning unhappily, and frowned slightly. Then, he laughed loudly: "What’s wrong? What’s bothering my son? "Is his eyebrows still tightly knitted?"
From the moment he entered this place, Hu Qi had been frowning deeply with a depressed look on his face.
"I heard your aunt say that you like this little girl called Ling Hua?" Hu Guang looked at Hu Qi and asked.
Hu Qi asked in a muffled voice. Why did he hear the happiness in Royal Father’s words?
"Hahaha, could it be that your aunt allowed you to express your feelings and was rejected by that little girl Ling Hua?" Hu Guang laughed twice. Seeing Hu Qi like this, it looked like he had guessed correctly.
When Hu Qi heard his Royal Father’s teasing, he sighed.
Hu Qi sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Royal Father has pretty much finished preparing the sacrificial ceremony."
Hu Guang nodded his head, he had already prepared these few days, and the post had already been sent out, so it was likely that envoys from the other nations would be arriving soon, and he did not know who the East Court Kingdom was.
"In a few days, the envoys from the other three countries will arrive. Qi’er, you handle this matter. Is it possible that you can do it well?" Hu Guang said as he looked at his most proud son.
Hu Qi needed something to distract him from his thoughts. As the crown prince of a country, what kind of woman would he want in the future? Now he was just young and vigorous.
It just so happened that Qi’er would have to handle the matter of receiving the emissary in order to prevent him from daydreaming in order to complete some tasks.
Hu Qi immediately looked up at Hu Guang when he heard him, "Father, this ..."
It was a huge matter to entertain the other three countries, but the Royal Father actually let go of that matter for him. However, if one thought carefully about it, as the crown prince, he seldom shared the worries of the Royal Father.
"Is Qi’er afraid?" Hu Guang raised his thick eyebrows, and said to Hu Qi who was looking down.
Hu Qi immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, it’s not like that."
"This son will definitely do it well." Hu Qi immediately replied.
Hu Guang laughed, this was his son.
"Alright, you can go now. The envoys will arrive in a few days. You should go down and prepare." Hu Guang said.
"Yes sir!" Hu Qi was very excited, towards the matter of Ling Hua rejecting him today, he immediately threw it to the back of his mind. He had to go and tidy up the palace, in two days time it would come.
Hu Qi walked out of the palace and frowned. If his aunt married into the East Court Kingdom, would her aunt become the emissary for this year’s ceremony?
Or could it be that the East Court Kingdom would send someone else over?
The corner of Hu Qi’s mouth raised, as he didn’t know whether that emperor uncle would come over, as his aunt was at the South Yue Kingdom after all.
Hu Qi left and went to the side to let the palace maid Eunuch start cleaning the palace, some of the bedding had also been replaced with new ones.
After two consecutive days of cleaning, the palace had finally been completed. Now, all they had to do was wait for the envoys from the three countries to arrive.
