Before the end of the hunt, the princess still found an opportunity to catch Ouyang Zhixia who was alone.
Looking at the princess with a dagger hidden in her smile, his body stiffened with tension and he looked behind her with a vigilant expression.
Haoran had not been in the capital for three years and might not know who the princess was, but Ouyang Zhixia knew very well.
If she did something here, she really wouldn't be able to escape.
Ouyang Zhixia looked around, and her maid was nowhere to be seen. There was no one here except her and the princess.
"Afraid?!"
The princess sneered: "How can you be worthy of Haoran? If I were you, I would be more sensible and cancel the engagement. Don't hinder his future."
"If he marries me, he'll have no problem rising to the top in the future. What about you? What kind of help can you give him besides standing in his way?"
"If you take the initiative to cancel the engagement, this princess promises you that she will choose a husband for you who is better than Haoran."
Ouyang Zhixia clenched her fists and exhaled: "I know my identity well, and I don't need your reminder, but as long as Haoran doesn't give up on me, I will always be here."
"Haoran and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep bond. No matter who the other person is, I will not waver."
"I love Haoran, and I never look at his status. Even if he is just an ordinary person, I will still love him."
"Your Highness is a princess of wealth and status. There are many people in the capital who admire you. You have no shortage of people to choose from. There is no need for you to do anything that would bring disgrace upon the royal family for my fiancé. Please, Your Highness, be kind and grant us your blessing."
"If the princess would do you the honor, you can come over and have a drink at the wedding."
Ouyang Zhixia's words were sharp, and first clearly showed that the two were in love.
It also shows that no matter whether Xu Haoran is powerful or rich or poor, she will follow him wholeheartedly.
He also said that the princess was noble and favored, so there was no need to be obsessed with Xu Haoran, and he openly invited her to attend their banquet.
But after hearing these words, the princess not only did not show any intention to help them, but instead glared at the ungrateful Ouyang Zhixia in anger.
"Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor and implicate your father?" The princess's eyes were intimidating and cold.
Although she said so, the princess actually didn't dare to do that.
Her uncle, the emperor, was unfathomable and his moods were unpredictable, so she didn't dare to see him at all.
If she angered him, not even her mother could save her.
But that doesn't stop her from using it to threaten people.
Although her mother was the eldest princess, she and the emperor were not born of the same mother. The reason she had a seat was entirely because the empress dowager liked her mother.
Her mother was raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child. She was very much loved by the Empress Dowager and was very kind to her.
Since the emperor has no children, the princess has become the empress dowager's favorite.
"The Emperor is a wise ruler. He won't be disgusted with my father just because of a few words from you."
The princess was so angry that she almost laughed. Great, another person who wouldn't give in to any persuasion.
She wanted to see how well their love could stand the test.
"I hope you can still be so sharp-tongued in the future." A hint of viciousness flashed across the princess's eyes.
After the winter hunt, the princess went straight to the palace. Because the empress dowager loved her, the princess was allowed to enter the palace without any hindrance and without having to report.
"Grandmother, will you just agree to Xiyue's marriage? I really like General Xu. Please help me arrange a marriage."
"You little girl, you're always causing me trouble. If General Xu doesn't have a fiancée, that's fine. You could reward him for defeating the Xiongnu and grant you a marriage."
"But General Xu has a fiancée, and everyone in the capital knows he only wants one wife and doesn't take concubines. Aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"
"With so many young masters? Why do you have to have him? Isn't this nonsense?"
The Queen Mother reached out her hand and touched the princess's head, tapping it gently. She said some scolding words, but her tone was not harsh, which showed that she loved the princess very much.
She was old and longed to have children and grandchildren to take care of her, but the emperor had no children.
So she truly loves the princess.
"Grandmother, if you grant the marriage directly, will he dare to disobey?" The princess pouted and shook the empress dowager's hand.
Although the Queen Mother doted on the Princess, she wasn't the type to do so blindly: "Directly granting the marriage would chill General Xu's heart. Besides, if General Xu doesn't want to, forcing him would only backfire."
"If he wants to marry you, he will break off the engagement and ask for your hand in marriage. If I want you to grant me a marriage, it will only be possible if he breaks off the engagement."
The princess lowered her head and clenched her hands under her sleeves. If Xu Haoran agreed to cancel the engagement, would she still ask for a marriage to force him?
There is nothing Xiyue can't get when she sets her eyes on someone. The more challenging the person is, the more she likes him.
Xu Jinyi didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly. The emperor obviously had a good impression of her. If it succeeded, they, the brother and sister, might not be able to turn things around.
Although Mrs. Wu did not allow her to step out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could still stroll around the garden at home.
There was a heavy snowfall and the surface of the garden lake was frozen, but the fish underground still gathered together as usual.
It seemed that they knew Xu Jinyi was coming to feed the animals, so they all crowded around the pavilion.
"Sister Yi'er."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Jinyi stopped feeding the fish and looked up at Chen Ziyi, whose smile was as kind as spring breeze.
He is his brother's good friend. He seems harmless, but beneath his gentle face, he hides cunning, cruelty, and deep malice.
In his previous life, my brother would be defeated by bandits and fall into the hands of the princess, and it was his doing.
It was he who leaked his brother's battle plan to the bandits, and it was he who personally tied his brother up and brought him before the princess.
He was the beginning of all the misfortunes. If it weren't for his brother being arrested, he would have testified that he watched his brother die tragically.
As a result, she was left with no one to rely on, and Wu also started to attack her.
Chen Ziyi stood in front of her, looking at Xu Jinyi with obsessed eyes, feeling a pity in his heart.
If Xu Jinyi's status was higher, it wouldn't be impossible for her to be his wife.
Somehow, when I saw her this time, she seemed even more beautiful than before.
She was beautiful as before, but she seemed to have no soul, and was dull and boring.
Now it seems like the beauty emanates from the soul, so shocking.
It seems that nothing in the world can compare to her.
Thinking of the princess's proposal, he was still a little hesitant, but at this moment, Chen Ziyi finally made up his mind.
If anyone is to blame, it's Xu Haoran himself who didn't know what was good for him and offended the princess.
He didn't do anything, and his life wasn't in danger anyway. If the princess wanted someone, he would deliver it.
This way, the princess would remember his kindness and Xu Jinyi would no longer have Xu Haoran as a support.
When the time comes to face the wolves and tigers in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, I will naturally need to find someone to rely on.
If he takes her as his concubine, wouldn't that make her follow him wholeheartedly?
Xu Jinyi's face was cold, and the look in the man in front of her made her feel nauseous.
