Chapter 72: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor
Qing'er looked at the little girl in front of her with bright eyes and white teeth. She was just at the age of a flower, and everything she was thinking was written on her face.
The Princess of Nanning County also liked Xu Junzheng. He just flirted with her casually and the girl couldn't wait to follow him.
Qing'er saw his own shadow in Nanning's clear eyes. He hated his face because it forced him to live in another person's body forever.
But if it weren't for this face, he wouldn't have met the princess. He was just a little envious, envious that the person could easily get the love he longed for.
He even hoped in his heart that if this little girl could marry Xu Junzheng, would the princess be able to focus more on him?
He can be the eldest princess's "Xu Junzheng" for the rest of her life.
Qing'er subconsciously avoided Nanning's burning gaze, which was so hot and so frank that it seemed to burn him to death.
His heart ached slightly, and he wanted to scream loudly, asking Nan Ning to go away, go far away, away from the palace, and away from the capital, but in the end he didn't say it out loud.
For the sake of the eldest princess, he decided to destroy the girl.
"Come closer, why are you so far away from me? Let's talk in the room over there."
Qing'er took a step forward. He looked thin and always kept his head down beside the eldest princess. In fact, he was very tall and almost covered Nanning.
Nan Ning's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She had never been so close to a man before. The strange atmosphere enveloped her, making her feel a little timid for no reason.
"Xu...Lord Xu, it seems a bit inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, right? Let's talk about it here."
Qing'er pressed forward step by step, and Nanning had nowhere to retreat, so his thin body was pressed against the wall.
"There's nothing wrong with it. This matter is a secret, so how can we announce it in public? Ning'er, you should think it through. If you miss today, you won't have another chance in the future."
The person in front of him clearly looked like Lord Xu, even his slightly hoarse voice was exactly the same, but Nanning always felt that something was strange.
Lord Xu is a gentleman. Even if he likes her, he shouldn't be so reckless.
Nan Ning pushed the person in front of him away, his face turned cold, "Master Xu, you are drunk. The Imperial Concubine is still waiting for Nan Ning. Nan Ning is leaving first."
A trace of surprise flashed across Qing'er's face. Nanning obviously liked "him", so why did she push "him" away?
He was raised in a brothel since he was a child and thought he knew a lot about love affairs between men and women, but he only knew how to serve people and had no idea how marriage was done in the capital.
Marriage is a big event, it cannot be accomplished simply by the affection between two parties.
In a panic, Qing'er reached out to pull Nanning's arm and said anxiously, "I like you, and you like me too, right? In that case, why don't you follow me into the house?"
Nanning was anxious and angry, but her strength was too weak and she could not break free from Qing'er's shackles.
"Let me go! You are shameless! Who do you think I am? No, you are not Lord Xu, who are you?"
She remembered Lord Xu's hands, which were covered with calluses and dense scars, which were the marks left by the northwest land.
Exiled people could only do hard labor, and the stewards deliberately humiliated them, so Lord Xu's life became even more difficult. Later, he relied on his talents and made achievements, and his situation became slightly better.
At the New Year's Eve banquet that day, Lord Xu mentioned it in a flat tone, but her heart felt like it was pricked by a needle and was extremely painful.
The hands that held the pen, the hands that wrote beautiful articles, the hands that wrote poems and essays, actually became like this.
But the hand holding hers was soft and delicate, and it was obviously not Lord Xu!
Nanning struggled even harder and shouted for help, but the only response she got was a feminine laugh in her ears.
"You actually saw through me, but it's too late now. I don't want to hurt you, so just sleep peacefully."
A faint fragrance came over him, and as the world spun, Nanning felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he had no strength left in his body. Finally, he closed his eyes unwillingly...
********
Inside Zhaoyang Palace.
Xu Junzheng overturned the chessboard in front of him. The black and white chess pieces scattered all over the ground and the chessboard broke into pieces. His chest heaved violently and his eyes were bloodshot.
"You! How can you be so vicious? I have nothing to do with the Princess of Nanning, why did you attack her?"
The princess picked up a white chess piece, blew away the dust on it, and said with a faint smile: "What a pity for this game of chess. You promised to play with me until the end."
"Since there is no connection, why are you so angry?" The princess slammed the table and stood up, her brows full of fierceness, even more confident than Xu Junzheng who was sitting opposite her, "Xu Junzheng! Listen to me, it is impossible for you and her to be together. In this life, you can only be my person!"
"You are simply unreasonable!" Xu Junzheng staggered back. He had only spoken a few words to the county lady, but he was dragged into this disaster.
Xu Junzheng turned around and ran. He wanted to save the Princess of Nanning.
He should not have come today. The eldest princess was treacherous, vicious and cruel. He was so naive to think that the eldest princess would return his younger brother's bones to him!
The people in Zhaoyang Palace naturally would not watch Xu Junzheng leave. The guards stood in front of Xu Junzheng, but he kicked them away!
The princess waved her hand indifferently, "Let him go!"
The guards made way for him and Xu Junzheng left without looking back.
The princess threw the chess piece in her hand to the ground and said coldly: "He won't give up until he sees it with his own eyes. He couldn't save the Xu family before, and now he can't save that bitch either!"
"He always disobeys me. It is not okay for me to look at other women for even a second. From now on, he should understand this."
Xu Junzheng didn't know where the Princess of Nanning County was, and it was not convenient for him to look for a female relative in a high-profile manner. After much thought, he could only ask his niece for help.
Ji Yunhuan had never seen his uncle so anxious. His clothes were disheveled and he was sweating profusely. He didn't even have time to wait for the palace maid to report back before he rushed into Shuhua Palace.
She couldn't help but joked: "Where is the Princess of Nanning? What does it have to do with my uncle?"
Xu Junzheng was extremely anxious. "Hurry up and send someone to look for her. The eldest princess wants to deal with her. She is in danger! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have talked to her at the New Year's Eve banquet. If anything happens to her, how can I face her father in the underworld in the future..."
Ji Yun laughed cunningly, just like the little girl who had done something bad many years ago, with a sparkling light in her eyes.
Xu Junzheng finally reacted. Huan'er was not the type of person who didn't know the seriousness of the matter. She was so leisurely, it seemed that she had been prepared.
"You little rascal, you are already a mother, why are you still so narrow-minded? Do you think it's fun to see your uncle getting anxious?"
Ji Yunhuan laughed out loud. She had changed into a bright red palace dress. Her hair was tied up in a casual bun and she simply inserted two phoenix hairpins. Her smile was bright and charming, even a little childish.
"Huan'er has something to do, and there is still a lot of trouble ahead. If Huan'er doesn't go, the play can't be performed. I ask my uncle to take care of Nanning County Princess. Please teach her what to say and what to do."
Ji Yun waved happily, and Nan Ning came out from behind the screen. She had also changed into a bright palace dress. She was at the age of a flower, and with a little makeup, she became incredibly beautiful.
She saluted towards Xu Junzheng, lowered her head and blushed slightly, and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Xu."
