Chapter 487: Let You Be Happy Too
Cen Bei's eyes became firm: "Princess, I have thought it through. The young princess is right. This matter is indeed my fault."
"At first, I only thought that if Lu'er was destined to be with your senior brother, the Emperor of Nanxia, she would be better off than following a guard like me. Although I hold a high position, I will never be as noble as the Queen of a country."
"Although Lu'er is not the biological daughter of the Emperor of Beining, it is a fact that she has lived the life of a princess for so many years. I am afraid...she will suffer in the future if she follows me, so I will deliberately distance myself from her."
But seeing Bu Ruo about to curse, Cen Bei quickly continued, "Now I understand. I finally understand what the little princess said that day. I also understand why the princess was so angry with the prince. I shouldn't have done things for her own good under the guise of doing things for her own good. I should have asked her what she wanted. Otherwise... what I thought was good was a knife stabbing her heart."
Bu Ruo snorted, "It's useless to tell this princess these things. Go talk to whoever you need to. But I have to tell you, Guo Lu is stubborn. It's hard to say whether she forgives you or not."
"If she doesn't forgive you, I'll send her to my second senior brother when we get back and let him become your queen. That will make you happy, too."
Cen Bei's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood up and ran to the small kitchen.
Seeing Bi'er making pastries in the small kitchen, Cen Bei felt very nervous.
"Lu'er..."
Guo Lu didn't even turn her head: "I'm not familiar with Master Cen Bei, so just call me by my name from now on."
Seeing Cen Bei's embarrassed face, Bi'er gave him a look that said he deserved it, but she still said tactfully, "Lu'er, you continue working. I'll send these to the little princess first. She must be hungry after practicing for quite a while."
After Bi'er left, Cen Bei walked into the small kitchen and stood behind her at a loss, not saying a word. He followed her wherever she went.
"Master Cen Bei, you are blocking me."
Cen Bei is usually a man of few words, and seeing Guo Lu's attitude, he didn't know what to say.
After a while...
"Lu'er, will you marry me?"
With a bang, the plate fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
"Master Cen Bei, you are joking. I am just a maid serving the princess. How dare I associate with Master Cen?"
Cen Bei was so anxious that he kept spinning around, causing Jin Congcong, who was watching the excitement not far away, to curse him for what he deserved.
Guo Lu might not have noticed it, but with Cen Bei's kung fu, how could he not have noticed it? But now he just wanted to coax her, and whether it would be embarrassing or not was not within his consideration at all.
He seemed to understand Cen Nan now, why he never made Bi'er angry, and why he tried all kinds of ways to coax her into being like a flower every day.
"Lu'er, listen to me..."
"Master Cen, I'm busy making cakes for the princess and the little princess and don't have time to listen to you. You'd better leave."
Seeing Cen Bei walking out with his head hung, Jin Congcong couldn't help but walk over: "Hey, what's up, women are hard to please, right?"
"At that time, I advised you not to walk to your death, but you just wouldn't listen. Now look, you can't be coaxed anymore, right?"
"Just now I heard Ruo'er say that if Guo Lu agrees, she will be the Queen of Nanxia after she returns."
"Cen Bei, Guo Lu is now free and unmarried. You still have room for redemption, but if she really goes to Nanxia..."
"I have also been beaten by my second senior brother since childhood. He is very domineering. There is no such thing as letting her out for her own good. By then, the two of us will really see eye to eye. You won't even find a place to cry. You can be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
Cen Bei had a dark face and didn't leave. He just stood there and looked at Guo Lu quietly, neither moving forward nor backward, as if he was guarding his territory.
Guo Lu still ignored him, treating him as air without even a glance.
…
That night, Cen Bei was still keeping watch for Xiao Yulan, and the two of them stared at each other.
"I heard that you went to coax Guo Lu today?"
"yes……"
"Have you figured it out?"
"I have figured it out."
"So... are you okay?"
"No, she didn't even look at my subordinate."
Xiao Yulan glared at him and said, "Useless thing, I was hoping that if you could coax me into doing the same thing, I would do it."
Cen Bei smiled bitterly: "I thought so too. I want to see how the prince coaxes the princess, and I want to learn from him..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt, but this time... you really went too far. How could you lock the princess in her room?"
Cen Bei looked at his master with some complaints: "You don't know, when the princess came out, her eyes were red with anxiety. In all these years, the princess has rarely lost her composure like this."
Xiao Yulan's face was filled with embarrassment, and he snorted softly, "How dare you criticize me? Why don't you talk about the good things you did? When Guo Lu was in Beining, she was just waiting for you to break the window paper, and what happened?"
"Haha, you're so different. One day you told me you'd protect me and that you'd be there no matter what, and the next day you're avoiding me like you don't even know me, like I'm a monster. Who can stand that kind of disparity? You really deserve it. You deserve to be ignored."
Cen Bei was almost crying: "Your Majesty, I already know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
"I beg you to quickly appease the princess. She is now angry with me because of you. She said that if I can't appease Guo Lu, she will send her to Nanxia to be the queen when she returns..."
"Your Majesty, please comfort the princess quickly. Don't lie here anymore. I know you've been able to get out of bed today. The princess is right next door, and she can't walk a few steps. How about I help you over there?"
Xiao Yulan glanced at him and said, "You know the princess's temper. How can she be so easily coaxed? Haven't I coaxed her enough these past few days, day or night? Have you ever seen the princess look me in the eye?"
"For this reason, I risked further injury last night and left my spirit realm to consult Master. Master said... he had to be slapped three times before he managed to coax the man back to health."
"But Ruo'er's temperament is different from that of a true god. Ruo'er didn't even take action. She didn't even look at me. In the end, I left amid the mockery of my master..."
Xiao Yulan usually wouldn't talk so much, but now he probably felt that Cen Bei and he had the same fate, so he let the two of them complain.
After a long moment, Cen Bei's eyes rolled. "I have a plan. Your Highness, please wait. I'll go get Cen Nan. I've seen him coax Bi'er quite well, so maybe he has a plan."
Before Xiao Yulan could say anything, Cen Bei disappeared from sight like a gust of wind...
Not long after, Cen Nan appeared in the room with a dissatisfied look on his face, dragged by Cen Bei.
