Chapter 353 Someone You Shouldn’t Provoke
In the Princess's Mansion, the Princess looked at Eunuch Zhu with an angry face. When the other servants saw their Princess like this, they were so scared that they quickly knelt down and lowered their heads, fearing that innocent people would be harmed.
"Princess, the Fourth Prince is from the Mo Kingdom. As for why he wants to marry you, we have no idea." Eunuch Zhu spoke up when he saw Fuping did not accept the order. As for what happened in the Golden Palace, he did not choose to say it.
"This princess does not want to get married. I want to go see my father." After hearing what Eunuch Zhu said, Fuping pushed away the imperial edict handed to him, stood up and was about to go to the palace.
"Princess, if you get married, you can guarantee the peace of our Dongyou for twenty years. Princess, you should sacrifice your small self and complete your big self..."
When Eunuch Zhu saw the princess stand up, he hurried to Fuping's side and patiently comforted her.
"What do you mean by small and big? Why should I marry just because of peace? Is this Fourth Prince crazy?" Fuping interrupted Eunuch Zhu with an extremely impatient tone.
"It is like this, Princess. When we left the palace, the Emperor specifically told us that if the Princess did not accept the Emperor's order, it would be considered as disobeying the Emperor's order, and the Princess' title would be directly revoked. Also, the Emperor is very busy at this time, and he will not see you."
Seeing that being soft didn't work, Eunuch Zhu directly quoted the emperor's words, and his tone became colder.
"You... give it to me." The princess stopped when she heard what Eunuch Zhu said. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, she had no choice but to give in and take the imperial edict.
It seems that my father had already anticipated that I did not want to accept the order, and judging from what Eunuch Zhu said, it was clear that he would not leave me any way out.
"I want to see where this Fourth Prince comes from." The princess watched Eunuch Zhu leave with a satisfied smile, then kicked over the flowerpot next to her, twisted the imperial edict with both hands, and spoke in a fierce tone.
In the official post station not far from the princess's mansion in the city, Mo Jingxuan was waving a sword in the bamboo forest. He was in a very good mood at the moment. The emperor's meaning at the morning court today was very clear, so if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely marry this princess.
"Who is the Fourth Prince? Come out to me!"
At this moment, a girl's sweet cry attracted Mo Jingxuan's attention. He swung his sword towards the bamboo branch in front of him, then put the sword away and turned to walk in the direction where the voice came from.
The moment he turned his head, the bamboo branch broke into two pieces, and one of them fell to the ground.
"Princess, the Fourth Prince is busy and said he won't see any guests."
A servant followed behind Princess Fuping with a conflicted look on his face. Since the court session ended, many officials had come with gifts to see the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince was annoyed and told him to guard the door and not see anyone.
However, it was easy to persuade ordinary officials to leave, but this princess was adamant and was determined to come in and find the Fourth Prince. So, he tried to dissuade her all the way but still failed to stop her. After all, the princess was of noble status, and he didn't dare to have anyone kick her out.
"He is a prince of the Mo Kingdom. What business does he have in Dongyou? Stop talking nonsense and let him come to see this princess."
Fuping didn't believe what the servant said at all. She had made up her mind that since her father wouldn't accept it, she would let the Fourth Prince cancel the engagement on his own initiative.
"This..." The servant was also troubled when he heard Fuping's words.
Mo Jingxuan, who was not far away, heard the conversation and obviously realized that the woman who spoke was the princess he was going to marry, so he quickened his pace, wanting to see what the princess looked like.
"Don't follow me. Either you ask the Fourth Prince to come over, or you get out of here. I think you are unlucky."
Seeing that the servant was still following her with a timid look on her face, Fuping shouted to drive her away. However, she did not notice that there was a stone under her feet. After she stepped on it, she lost her balance and was about to fall.
"Princess, be careful." A low and slightly hoarse male voice was heard, and Fuping felt a blue figure approaching her quickly. Then a big hand held her waist. Fuping half bent over to steady her body and looked at the man who was holding her.
What came into view was a young man. Perhaps due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, his skin was a little wheat-colored, and his big hands were firmly supporting Fuping's lower back.
"Princess, please be careful when you walk next time." Mo Jingxuan saw the woman in his arms looking at him with panic in her eyes, so he forced a smile that he thought was very kind, and said in a somewhat doting tone.
After saying that, Mo Jingchen took another close look at the princess in front of him. She had a slender waist, charming eyes, and skin as delicate as a baby's. The only flaw was that when he was very close to her, there was a faint red mark on her face.
Mo Jingxuan, who had been on the edge of a knife for many years, could tell at a glance that the red marks were probably caused by a sharp weapon.
"This..." Mo Jingxuan was about to touch the red mark with his other hand and was about to ask what caused it.
"Pa" But before he could touch it, he was slapped by Fuping. While Mo Jingxuan was stunned, Fuping quickly moved away a few steps and stood firm.
"Who are you and why are you so frivolous?" After Fuping stood firm, he looked at the man in front of him carefully with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I am the fourth prince you are looking for." Mo Jingxuan calmly accepted Fuping's gaze and reported his identity, as if he was not the one who had just been slapped.
"Are you the fourth prince?" After hearing Mo Jingxuan's words, Fuping looked at him carefully again.
"Why doesn't the princess believe it?" Mo Jingxuan heard Fuping ask this, so he asked back with a smile.
"You said you are the fourth prince, so this princess orders you to go to your father and break off the engagement now. This princess does not want to marry you."
Seeing that the man in front of her had a calm expression, Fuping stopped looking at him. As long as he was the Fourth Prince, that was enough. She didn't care about anything else.
"I don't know why the princess is dissatisfied with me and is in such a hurry to cancel the engagement. I think there is nothing wrong with my appearance and financial situation being a good match for the princess, right?" Mo Jingxuan had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, and he looked at Fuping with a calm tone.
"Save you and still talk about your appearance? You are so ugly, why should this princess marry you?" Fu Ping said his thoughts mercilessly, causing Mo Jingxuan's smile to freeze on his face.
Is he ugly? He is a famous handsome man in Mo Country, proficient in both civil and military strategies. Many girls want to be with him, but the princess in front of him actually says that he is ugly?
"You said that this prince is ugly?" Mo Jingxuan asked again with a sullen face.
"Why, you're not allowed to say you're ugly? Not only are you ugly, but you're also a toad wanting to eat swan meat. This princess advises you to cancel the engagement. You don't think that just because you saved me, I'm in love with you, do you? That's really funny."
Fuping felt relieved when she saw Mo Jingxuan's expression change. This Fourth Prince had been so aloof from beginning to end, which made her feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.
With his looks, Nanxing is ten blocks ahead of him.
"Princess, since you don't want to agree to this marriage, why don't you just cancel it yourself?"
Mo Jingxuan was so angry at what Fuping said that his tone was also filled with anger. A sense of unwillingness and desire to conquer surged up in him. Mo Jingxuan had never failed to get the woman he wanted.
"This county chief can retreat, and he still needs you. I'm too lazy to even see you." Fu Ping looked at Mo Jingxuan in front of him with extreme disgust, and then looked away.
Mo Jingxuan saw clearly the contempt and disdain in Fuping's eyes. He never expected that the woman who had amazed him at the border before would have such an expression when they met her up close.
"Did you hear that? This princess orders you..." Seeing that the Fourth Prince was looking at him without saying anything, Fuping let out another tender cry, but the second half of his sentence was completely swallowed by the action of the man in front of him the next moment.
Mo Jingxuan walked forward with a dark face, pulled Fuping over, and covered his lips fiercely. Fuping was stunned at first, then after realizing what they were doing, he struggled hard.
Mo Jingxuan noticed Fuping's resistance, so he opened his mouth and bit him hard. A bloody smell spread in both of their mouths. Fuping felt pain and even tears filled his eyes.
She wanted to push him away, but the Fourth Prince was so strong that she couldn't move him at all.
"Princess, this prince advises you to marry me obediently. Also, this is the punishment for the slap you just gave me." After a long time, Mo Jingxuan separated the two. He looked at the bleeding corners of Fuping's lips, and the pleasure of revenge flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he had no interest in understanding Fuping's actions. What he wanted now was to completely conquer this woman who kept insulting and challenging his bottom line.
He was looking forward to seeing the proud woman in front of him begging for mercy.
Fuping looked at the desire to conquer in the man's eyes and inexplicably felt a sense of fear, as if she had provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked.
