Letting the ungrateful wretch and the scumbag be together is also a pretty good choice, so no matter what, letting Mingyue go on this trip is a win-win situation.
She knew that the male and female leads wouldn't break up so easily, but she also knew that as long as the female supporting character interfered, she could be a stepping stone if handled well, or a stumbling block if handled poorly.
However, Wan Ge really couldn't believe that a male lead like this could use the female lead as a stepping stone right under her nose.
…
Mingyue moved very quickly. Just as Ling Xiangyi was about to go home, she met Princess Mingyue.
They completely ignored her, and all eyes were on Jiang Chuluo.
Jiang Chulu didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so she was a little confused.
"Your Highness? Is something the matter?" He knew, of course, that the princess was willful and capricious, but he also knew that she liked him.
He was just particularly good at pretending, so he never showed that he knew.
He knew very well that if Mingyue found out, she would definitely have a problem with him.
But he didn't expect the other party to be so direct, speaking right in front of Ling Xiangyi: "Brother Luo, please don't marry her, okay? You break off the engagement, and I'll immediately have my brother issue an imperial decree to let us be together!"
Ling Xiangyi was stunned for a moment when he heard what the other party said. Jiang Chuluo reacted and immediately said, "Your Highness, please don't joke with me."
Mingyue was particularly serious: "No, how could I joke about our marriage? I really like you, I've liked you since I was little. You used to say I was childish, but now that I'm of marriageable age, do you still think I'm a child?"
"Of course not, it's just that... I'm already engaged to Miss Ling, and breaking off the engagement would be bad for Miss Ling's reputation."
"If you're only worried about her reputation, I'll have my brother compensate her later."
"But..." Jiang Chuluo was still hesitant because he knew that both of them were beneficial to him. He was just wondering who he should be engaged to now.
"What? What else is there to consider? Just tell me whether you like me or not."
Jiang Chuluo's face stiffened slightly. How could he possibly say he liked her in such a public place? But he couldn't say he didn't like her either, otherwise he would offend the princess and things wouldn't go well for him either.
Although the emperor was a puppet emperor, he still possessed certain powers. If the emperor didn't have much real power, did they?
The entire court was under the control of the regent; they were merely puppets, inferior to the emperor.
But he also believes that one day he will no longer feel so stifled.
"Princess, you are a very good woman, and I'm sure everyone admires you, but..."
"I don't want to hear any 'just' statements. If you like me, you should break off your engagement with her."
Ling Xiangyi stood aside without saying a word from beginning to end. She also wanted to see Jiang Chuluo's attitude and whether she had made the right choice in selecting this man.
If you made the wrong choice, it's not too late to leave this man now, since nothing has happened between them anyway.
Ling Xiangyi wasn't entirely satisfied with the other party's performance in court today, and now this incident has occurred, which is precisely the time to test him.
"I'm sorry, Princess, but I have a prior engagement with Miss Ling, and I cannot betray her." Ling Xiangyi can create such powerful weapons now; she will surely be able to create even more powerful weapons in the future.
Although the princess's offer was very tempting, after careful consideration, he still felt that Ling Xiangyi's offer was more appealing.
The princess seemed somewhat unwilling and incredulous upon hearing the answer: "What? You actually gave up on me for the sake of a noblewoman? Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. Just you wait, I'll persuade my brother to grant us a marriage."
"Princess..." Jiang Chuluo wanted to say something more, but Princess Mingyue turned and ran away.
After the princess disappeared from sight, Jiang Chuluo turned to look at Ling Xiangyi beside her and reassured her, "Xiangyi, don't worry, I will marry you no matter what. It's just that the princess is like this now... I'm a little worried... How about we get married first?"
Ling Xiangyi shook her head: "No, my career is not yet established. You promised me that we would discuss marriage when my career is successful. We are already engaged, and I believe His Majesty will not indulge the princess."
From the moment the other party so firmly insisted on her entering the court as an official, Ling Xiangyi sensed that this emperor was by no means incompetent or foolish. She believed that His Majesty would definitely not allow the princess to act recklessly at will.
Seeing the other person's resolute reaction, Jiang Chuluo didn't say anything more, only saying, "Then it's up to you."
After Jiang Chuluo escorted her home to her doorstep and they entered the house, the maid following behind Ling Xiangyi asked in confusion, "Why didn't Miss agree?"
Ling Xiangyi took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and cloudless, indicating that the world's environment had not suffered large-scale damage.
So the air is very fresh, the sky is very blue, and you can see many stars even in the city at night.
However, she didn't know anyone here, and everything she faced was extremely unfamiliar.
When she was completely out of place in this world and felt particularly lost and anxious, a handsome and gentle young man appeared by her side, claiming to be her fiancé.
Stay with her, comfort her, and help her gradually become familiar with the world.
Although these were just excuses she used to avoid going out and only then did she ask him to accompany her, it cannot be denied that he was indeed by her side during her most anxious and uncertain period.
