Chapter 251 A Slap
Gu Yuanjia had seen Chunzhi selling tofu in Linshui Town, and had also seen Chunzhi when she had just arrived in the capital. He had also witnessed with his own eyes what she did for the people in Xizhou. It can be said that he had witnessed Chunzhi's growth with his own eyes.
Now Chunzhi has the confidence and ability to be a princess and can deal with these things.
"That's what I said."
Huo Zheng naturally knew that Chunzhi was much better now than before, but Xizhou was too far away from the capital. When the things happening here were transferred back to the capital and passed through one intermediary after another, no one knew how the things would be woven into the fabric of the story by the time it reached her ears.
He really couldn't afford to lose Chunzhi again.
Without waiting for Gu Yuanjia to speak, Huo Zheng said, "I will write a letter home and have someone send it back to her."
What others said didn't count. He personally told Chunzhi what he was thinking and what his current plans were.
He wants to give Haruji enough love.
We must not let Haruji feel uneasy because of this.
"Your Highness..." Gu Yuanjia wanted to say something else when he saw Huo Zheng striding away without stopping for a moment.
Master Gu stood there and sighed softly, "How could such a romantic person emerge from a royal family?"
If we only consider the interests, it is not a bad thing for Prince Chang'an to marry Princess Xiling.
Although women like Ye Ninglan have a bad reputation, are ambitious, and difficult to control, Ye Ninglan is also a rare extraordinary woman in the world. The fact that she, as a woman, stirred up the court of Xiling, and was able to fight the King of Chang'an on the battlefield for so long, making the princes of Xiling afraid of her, is enough to show that she has extraordinary qualities.
If Prince Chang'an could marry the Princess of Xiling and subdue her, not only would the position of Crown Prince be within his grasp, but he might also be able to use Ye Ninglan to annex Xiling and unify the world in the future.
The idea is always beautiful, but Huo Zheng already has a wife and children, so it is not entirely a bad thing that he is unwilling to marry Princess Xiling.
At least for those who follow the King of Chang'an, the Lord values friendship and loyalty and is unwilling to abandon his wife for the sake of immediate interests. He will certainly not be too cruel to them in the future.
What's more, everything has two sides. The choice made by King Chang'an does not necessarily mean giving up the big for the small.
After all, life is so long, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
Therefore, Gu Yuanjia did not persuade Prince Chang'an to marry Princess Xiling. It was already annoying enough for him to have people like Ji Jun nagging him incessantly.
Gu Yuanjia did not chase after him, but instead walked towards the courtyard where he lived.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon rose above the willow branches, and everyone in the mansion left. The moonlight enveloped the entire city, and the night wind blew the branches, causing leaves to sway and flowers to fall.
Ye Ninglan was lying on the beauty's bed beside the flower wall, teasing the young guards with a smile, "Don't just stand there, sing a little song for me and do a sword dance."
When the guards in the Plum Blossom Garden heard this, their faces turned stiff.
Since the peace talks between the two countries began and the situation has gradually eased, the shackles on the hands of the Princess of Xiling have been removed. Previously, her hands and feet were bound, and when she was unable to move, she could only tease people with her mouth. After the shackles were put on, she started teasing people with her hands and it was really unstoppable...
"Why aren't you talking?"
Ye Ninglan stood up and walked towards the young guard closest to her. She reached out and touched his face, making him retreat several steps in embarrassment. His face flushed red as he said, "Princess, please respect yourself."
"Don't you Daxing people say that a young man should be romantic? Why do you have to respect yourself when you come to me?"
The smile on Ye Ninglan's lips deepened. She just liked to tease serious people.
The young guard was forced into retreat by her and rushed directly behind the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards raised his unsheathed sword, separating Ye Ninglan and the young guard. "The princess wants to marry our Prince Chang'an, so she'd better mind her words and actions."
Ye Ninglan asked with a smile, "If I pay attention to my words and actions, will the Prince of Chang'an be willing to marry me?"
The captain of the guard had no answer to this.
This is not the only reason why Prince Chang'an is unwilling to marry Princess Xiling.
Ye Ninglan asked casually and had no intention of continuing. "Prince Chang'an refused to agree, and I was unhappy, so I wanted to have some fun. If Prince Chang'an agreed, I'm afraid I won't have such a carefree life in the future, so I have to have more fun."
The guards' faces grew even stiffer upon hearing this.
Just as the guard captain was about to speak, Ye Ninglan placed his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I think the guard captain is quite pretty—"
Upon hearing this, the guard leader quickly took a step back and said, "It's getting late. Princess, please rest early. I will retreat to the outside of the courtyard to guard."
Upon hearing this, all the guards retreated in unison and were outside the yard in the blink of an eye.
In the end, only two beautiful maids were left in the yard.
Ye Ninglan's eyes fell on them, and he said with a smile, "They've all left. How about you come and sing and dance for me?"
When the two maids heard this, they immediately said, "Our work is not finished yet..."
"The princess didn't eat much at night. I'll go to the kitchen and get some midnight snacks."
As they talked, they ran away as fast as the wind.
Ye Ninglan raised his hand and plucked a branch of apricot blossoms, playing with them in his hand, and sighed softly, "Boring, really boring."
The night wind blew her dress, and her hair, which was tied up with only a golden hairpin, was a little messy, which set off her beautiful face. The mess added a bit of wild and casual beauty.
Ye Ninglan walked into the house and casually placed the apricot blossoms in the vase. "How long are you going to lie on the eaves and watch?"
A moment later, a black shadow jumped down from the eaves, climbed through the window into the house, and came in front of Ye Ninglan.
The person who came was Ye Anping, the Crown Prince of Xiling. "My Royal Sister is really in a good mood. She is still in the mood to flirt with others at a time like this."
"What else? Do I have to cry and beg my brother, the Crown Prince, to save me?" Ye Ninglan raised a mocking arc on his lips, "I can bend down like this, but do you have the ability to do it?"
Ye Anping came at night, dressed in black as a night walker. When he heard what Ye Ninglan said, his face darkened.
Ye Ninglan didn't care whether Ye Anping was happy or not. She glanced at him and continued, "If it weren't for me just now, you would have been discovered and captured by the guards."
Ye Anping didn't expect that she had discovered his arrival so early, and she said that she flirted with the guards to help cover her up, which made Prince Xiling very unhappy.
But he didn't come here tonight to quarrel with Ye Ninglan.
Ye Anping endured it, but still couldn't help but sarcastically said, "My royal sister has been indulging in sensual pleasures for a long time, so there's no need to act like she's wronged herself."
Ye Ninglan reached out and touched the apricot blossoms, and didn't speak for a while.
Seeing this, Ye Anping stepped forward and said, "This prince is here to discuss the peace talks between the two countries. My sister has reached this point, and yet she still stubbornly chooses the Prince of Chang'an..."
Ye Ninglan raised his hand and slapped Ye Anping. The "slap" sound was particularly loud in the silent night.
She angrily scolded Prince Xiling, "Fool, if you had focused even a little of your time on internal strife and doing something serious, you wouldn't be so stupid!"
