Chapter 183 Turning Enemies into Friends



Xue Cailian had no way to escape and was kidnapped and taken before the emperor to be questioned.

"Xue Cailian plotted to murder the Princess of Northern Frontier. Who can tell me what's going on?"

The emperor was furious. It was such a nice welcoming banquet, but it ended up like this, and Yue Lengxin almost lost her life. If this got out, it would be a disgrace to the Celestial Empire.

Xue Cailian was so frightened that her face turned pale and she huddled on the ground, not daring to speak. When the emperor was angry, millions of people would die. Faced with the emperor's wrath, she did not have the courage to resist.

Yue Lengxin had never suffered such a big loss since she was a child. She was so angry that she pointed at Xue Cailian and said angrily: "Your Majesty must give me an explanation for what happened today. This woman wants to kill me! She is really courting death!"

The emperor did not show it on his face, but in his heart he did not want to punish Xue Cailian severely. The Xue family was well-established and wealthy, and he did not want to lose this gold mine.

Xue Changling spoke at the right time, kneeling on the ground to plead guilty for his daughter: "Your Majesty, Princess, my daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She has a domineering personality, but a simple mind. I beg Your Majesty to spare her life because of her young age. When I return home, I will punish her severely and make her kowtow to the Princess of Northern Frontier to apologize!"

Seeing this, Xue Cailian immediately knelt down in front of Yue Lengxin and kowtowed to admit her fault: "Princess, please forgive my fault. I was just impulsive just now. It's all my fault! Please spare my life!"

The father and daughter sang the same tune, not giving Yue Lengxin any chance to speak. The emperor took the opportunity to scold Xue Cailian a few words, and rewarded Yue Lengxin handsomely, thus making a big deal out of the matter.

After all, compared with the Northern Frontier, the emperor cares more about the financial resources of the Xue family.

[The dog emperor forgets his principles when he sees profit! ]

Chu Xuan looked at Lu Yanluo. He was not surprised at this result. He knew his father too well. Compared with a little princess from the Northern Frontier, the Xue family was obviously more to his liking. Instead of offending the Xue family, it would be better to give Yue Lengxin some benefits and cover up the matter. In the end, the Xue family would have to bear the consequences anyway.

A banquet ended in displeasure because Yue Lengxin fell into the water. Facing this result, although Yue Lengxin was unwilling, she also understood a truth, that is, "When you are under someone's eaves, you have to bow your head."

Anyway, there was no shortage of good things, so she could only swallow her anger.

After leaving Jiaotai Palace, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan took the children and went straight out of the palace. Behind them, Yue Lengxin took a few quick steps to catch up.

Maybe she had really let it go, or maybe it was because Lu Yanluo jumped into the water without hesitation to save her life, when Yue Lengxin faced Lu Yanluo again, her mood suddenly became different.

"Lu Yanluo." Yue Lengxin called her by her name with a cold face, and smiled brightly in the puzzled looks of Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo.

She extended her hand to Lu Yanluo and said, "Thank you today, Lu Yanluo. This princess suddenly found that you are a good person. From now on, you will be the first friend I make in Tianji. Are you willing?"

This cute little princess suddenly showed kindness to her, and Lu Yanluo was naturally very happy. She reached out and held Yue Lengxin's hand, and replied: "It's an honor."

Yue Lengxin felt a little embarrassed, but still pretended to be calm: "What happened before is in the past. This princess doesn't like Chu Xuan at all now. If you like him, keep him for yourself. This princess wants to find a man who truly treats me well, not a man who has someone else in his heart."

Lu Yanluo just smiled and said nothing. It must be said that although Yue Lengxin was as willful and capricious as a princess, what was commendable was that she had a pure heart. Far from being annoying, she made people feel good about her.

Behind her, the envoy from the Northern Frontier saw Yue Lengxin and hurried over. Yue Lengxin frowned impatiently and turned to Lu Yanluo and said, "Today I will accept your favor. In the future, if you need me, just ask. Whether in the capital or in the Northern Frontier, I will definitely help you with all my strength. The old men are coming, so I'll slip away first. See you later!"

Looking at Yue Lengxin's fleeing figure, Lu Yanluo shook her head helplessly. She was really a simple-minded person.

From then on, Yue Lengxin officially lived in the palace, under the pretext of experiencing the customs and literary knowledge of Tianji Kingdom.

The emperor issued a special decree for this purpose, allowing Yue Lengxin to enter and leave the Shangshufang at will and study with the princes and princesses.

Speaking of the Shangshufang, Yue Lengxin has been a little distressed recently. She met a tutor named Zhang Xuanlin in the Shangshufang. This man is young and promising, knowledgeable, and has won Yue Lengxin's favor.

When the two of them were free, Zhang Xuanlin would patiently tell Yue Lengxin about the customs and culture of Tianji. His words and actions were witty and humorous, very interesting, and often made Yue Lengxin forget the time.

She really liked the feeling of being with Zhang Xuanlin, but sometimes she hated him chatting with other princesses. As a result, she recently didn't like going to the Shangshufang to see Zhang Xuanlin, but she felt uncomfortable when they didn't meet.

Feeling upset, Yue Lengxin urgently needed someone who could listen to her, and she thought of Lu Yanluo.

So the Night Palace welcomed this distinguished guest for the third time. Yue Lengxin swaggered into Yun Yayuan and saw Lu Yanluo. Without saying a word, he pulled her into the house and closed the door.

What a joke! How could the private affairs of the Princess of Northern Frontier be heard by others?

Lu Yanluo looked at Yue Lengxin suspiciously: "Princess, what are you doing?"

Yue Lengxin blushed immediately, and for the first time she spoke hesitantly: "Um... this princess wants to ask you, what does it feel like to like someone?"

Lu Yanluo understood that the little princess in front of her was most likely someone she loved.

"If you like someone, you will always want to see him and be with him. You will miss him when you are not with him and feel panic when you see him. He is the only one in your heart and eyes."

Lu Yanluo looked at Yue Lengxin as she spoke. Her already shy face was turning redder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the smile on her face was becoming increasingly difficult to hide.

"So, who is this person?" Lu Yanluo asked jokingly.

Yue Lengxin coughed lightly and did not hide it: "It's Grand Tutor Zhang Xuanlin, I think I like him!"

Zhang Xuanlin? Lu Yanluo had never heard of this name, but seeing Yue Lengxin's obsessed look, Lu Yanluo suddenly became curious about this person.

After sending Yue Lengxin away, Lu Yanluo summoned the secret guards and asked them to investigate Zhang Xuanlin.

Yuelengxin is simple-minded and treats people with all her heart. Lu Yanluo is really worried and can't bear to see her get hurt.

The secret guards investigated very quickly and found out all of Zhang Xuanlin's background the next day.

Zhang Xuanlin was originally from Northern Xinjiang. His family was once a wealthy family in Northern Xinjiang. However, because his father was involved in the civil unrest in Northern Xinjiang, the entire family was executed for their crimes.

Lu Yanluo was secretly shocked that there was a genocide feud between the Northern Frontier royal family and Zhang Xuanlin!
