Chapter 212 Similar Faces

The emperor looked at the woman beside Xie Jing, and she looked familiar, but she had her eyes closed, so he couldn't see her face. He frowned.

Helplessly, he turned his gaze to Xie Jing again.

"I have heard of General Xie's heroic deeds, and I have always wanted to meet him. Today, I have met him, and it can be regarded as a wish."

Xie Jing was immune to compliments. He just perfunctorily replied to the emperor's words with a compliment.

The princess kept her eyes on Xie Jing, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe and sound. Although his face was a little pale, fortunately, he was fine.

She walked slowly to Xie Jing and said with a smile, "General, we meet again."

Xie Jing glanced at the princess. He used to be disgusted, but now he was disgusted.

"Princess." His voice was cold and distant.

The princess naturally noticed that Xie Jing's tone was even colder than before. She raised her lips and said, "General, why are you leaving? I said I would take you to see my father. Look, after all the twists and turns, you are here again."

Xie Jing said calmly, "I have been missing for so long. My subordinates and my wife are very worried about me. I am eager to return home. The princess has been locking me up in the mansion, so I can only leave by myself."

When the princess heard him talk about his wife in person, her eyes sank, "I wonder what kind of person the general's wife is?"

Xie Jing's dark eyes swept over Jiang Youning beside him, and his tone was very firm: "She is gentle, kind, and considerate. It is enough to have her in this life."

Jiang Youning raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Jing. She didn't expect that she had so many advantages.

Why didn't she find it before?

It seems that the saying that a bystander sees more clearly is very reasonable.

She is confused by the situation and cannot find her own advantages.

Upon hearing this, the princess clenched the handkerchief in her hand. It was the first time she saw Xie Jing praising a woman so much. What if she is gentle? What if she is kind?

I am a princess, and she is not worthy of being compared with me.

Xie Jing said again: "There are tens of millions of beauties in this world, but none of them can compare to her."

Jiang Youning heard this and her almond eyes curved and the corners of her lips curled up. Are these words from Xie Jing a confession?

I didn't expect that Xie Jing could say sweet words.

It seems that I underestimated him.

The previous few sentences had already irritated the princess, and this sentence was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

She just couldn't believe it. What kind of woman could make Xie Jing so fascinated?

"Now that the general has said that, I want to meet her. I don't know what kind of beauty can make me so fascinated."

Xie Jing chuckled: "No matter what she looks like, as long as it's her, I like her."

The princess' smile froze. She felt that Xie Jing said these words deliberately to anger her. No matter what she looks like? Would she still like her even if she was disfigured?

She sneered. There is no man who doesn't love beauty.

Jiang Youning was very close to Xie Jing. With a hook of her finger, she reached Xie Jing's finger.

Xie Jing was no worse than others when it came to love words.

On the contrary, it was very pleasant to hear.

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at the finger that was hooked by Jiang Youning, then looked at her, lowered his eyes and said nothing. I don't know what she felt at the moment?

The princess saw the woman next to Xie Jing with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but take a few more glances, and found that she looked familiar.

She walked over slowly, stood in front of Jiang Youning, and said in a cold voice: "Look up."

Jiang Youning came with Xie Jing today, so she was not afraid of being discovered by the princess. She looked up at the princess and smiled at her: "Princess, we meet again."

When the princess saw her face, her eyes changed and she was a little surprised.

Jiang Youning's appearance will not be easily forgotten by anyone, and the princess is no exception.

As a woman, seeing a woman who is more beautiful than herself, it is natural to look at her a few more times.

When she was in the princess's mansion, Jiang Youning wore coarse cloth clothes and dressed like a country girl.

The princess didn't take her seriously at all, and didn't expect to know Xie Jing.

It also made her understand why Xie Jing liked to eat the food she cooked.

She happened to appear in the princess's mansion.

"Do you know each other?"

Jiang Youning did not deny, "Yes, I know each other."

The princess looked at Jiang Youning. She must be an extraordinary person to be able to stand with Xie Jing.

Looking at the clothes she was wearing, it was no longer a coarse cloth jacket, but silk and satin, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

Jiang Youning took Xie Jing's arm and looked at the princess with a smile, "The general is my husband."

Xie Jing lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Youning, with a rare tenderness in his eyes.

The princess was stunned when she saw this scene. She had thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect that she was Xie Jing's wife.

Looking at Xie Jing again, he was looking down at Jiang Youning, which also confirmed her words, it was true.

She thought she was a great woman, nothing special.

"I didn't expect that you are the wife of a general, and you have to be a cook in my palace. I really wronged you."

Jiang Youning said indifferently: "I came to find my husband. These are nothing. As long as he is safe, it's good."

Xiao Yu looked at the princess and suddenly thought of her cousin, who was no different from the princess in front of her. She is so self -righteous

that she can't walk when she sees Xie Jing.

She thinks that she is a princess and all men in the world belong to her. How shameless. The prince listened to Xie Jing's words. It was very difficult for him to do it. It was too difficult to be in the royal family with only one woman. He had to face all kinds of obstacles. But he also envied Xie Jing and envied that he could choose what he chose. At this time, the emperor saw the woman next to Xie Jing, and when he raised his head, he saw her face. After seeing it, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. That face was too familiar, so familiar that he thought it was her. The distance was too far, so he couldn't see it clearly. The emperor couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and didn't walk down.

The prince saw the emperor suddenly stand up and walk over, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Father?"

The emperor ignored the prince. He came to Jiang Youning and stared at that face for a long time. He still couldn't believe that they looked so similar.

Xie Jing saw the emperor coming and noticed his gaze. As a man, what he cares most about is probably other men staring at his wife all the time.

Even if this person is the emperor.

Xie Jing instinctively put his arm around Jiang Youning's shoulders and pulled her into his arms, for fear that the emperor didn't know that Jiang Youning was his.

Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Xie Jing in confusion, only to see that he pursed his lips tightly. She knew Xie Jing too well, and she could tell at a glance that he was unhappy.

She retracted her gaze and realized that the emperor had come over. This was not Xiao Yun. She hurriedly lowered her head.

The princess also noticed that the emperor had come down. She stepped forward and took the emperor's arm, smiling and said, "Father, didn't you say that you would give me a marriage?"

When Jiang Youning heard about the marriage, she thought of what the prince said. The princess was really shameless. Knowing that he already had a wife, she still wanted the emperor to give her a marriage?

How is this different from snatching a man in the street?

Xie Jing also vaguely guessed what the princess meant by the marriage. She said that he already had a wife, as if she didn't understand what people were saying.

The emperor saw Jiang Youning lowered her head and couldn't see the familiar face, which made him a little disappointed.

Hearing the princess talking about the marriage, he remembered the purpose of calling Xie Jing here today.

He looked at Xie Jing with a smile on his face, "General Xie, the Sixth Princess is the apple of my eye. She likes you. I also want to form an alliance with Daxia to establish friendly diplomatic relations. How about you marry the princess?"

Xie Jing knew that what was coming would come, and he couldn't avoid it.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your favor. I already have a wife, and I will not marry again or take concubines."

Although the princess guessed that Xie Jing might refuse, she was still very unhappy when she heard him say it in person.

"General, I believe that the emperor of Daxia will agree to the marriage between the two countries and the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations."

Xiao Yu couldn't help hearing this. He took two steps forward, saluted, and bowed, "Your Majesty, Princess."

The princess looked over when she heard the voice, and her eyes fell on Xiao Yu. She just heard him say that he was the young master.

I didn't expect that even the young master would come. "

Prince, do you have anything to say?"

Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes narrowed, "My brother the emperor will not agree to take General Xie as a marriage partner."

The princess snorted coldly, "You are not the emperor of Daxia, how do you know?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "You don't understand my brother the emperor's thoughts, don't I understand? My cousin also wants to marry General Xie, but General Xie is unwilling to marry, and my brother the emperor did not force her. Do you know why?"

The emperor and the princess stared at Xiao Yu curiously, and asked in unison: "Why!"

Xiao Yu smiled again: "General Xie has made great contributions to Daxia. Brother the emperor has such a good military general, so he naturally cherishes and loves him. How could he force him to do something he doesn't want to do?" The princess

was stunned when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the emperor of Daxia would not force him to marry his sister because of his love for Xie Jing.

The emperor was also surprised. It was rare for an emperor to cherish a military commander so much.

Besides, it would be great to have such a general as his son-in-law.

It was rare that the emperor of Daxia would give up because Xie Jing was unwilling.

Xiao Yu saw their shocked expressions and continued, "The emperor brother cherishes General Xie. General Xie will not let my emperor brother down. The so-called monarch and minister is nothing more than this."

The emperor felt a little ashamed when he heard this. If it were him, he would definitely give the marriage directly, regardless of whether Xie Jing agreed or not.

"We'll discuss this later. General Xie can think about it carefully and don't be in a hurry to refuse."

Xie Jing bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I, Xie Jing, have always kept my word and will not change. In this life, I only want Aning."

The emperor had heard about Xie's temper, and today he saw that it was indeed as good as his reputation.

"Let's discuss it another day."

After the emperor finished speaking, his eyes fell on Jiang Youning again. This time he was close and could see clearly.

This face really looks like hers.

"Are you General Xie's wife?"

Jiang Youning bowed when she heard the words, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor ordered, "Raise your head and let me see it."

Jiang Youning pursed her lips and slowly raised her head to look at the emperor. The emperor was about fifty years old and had gained some weight.

But his facial features are still handsome, and you can also see how young and handsome he is.

You can tell from the prince's looks.

The emperor looked at the familiar face several times and couldn't help asking, "Are you from Jinling?"

Jiang Youning nodded, "I grew up in Jinling since I was a child, so I am indeed from Jinling."

The emperor thought thoughtfully, and then asked, "Where is your mother? Where is she from?"

Jiang Youning was a little confused. Why did the emperor ask about her mother? No, it was the original owner.

The original owner, how would she know where her mother was from?

Jiang Youning thought about it and replied, "I was abandoned since I was a child, and I don't know where my mother is from."

The emperor's eyes froze when he heard this, and his eyes kept staring at her.

Jiang Youning saw that the emperor was staring at her but didn't say anything, and she felt a little flustered. Bloody things shouldn't happen to her, right?

The princess saw the way the emperor looked at Jiang Youning and thought that the emperor had taken a fancy to Jiang Youning.

However, there were many talented women of the same age as Jiang Youning in the harem.

Jiang Youning was beautiful, so it was normal for her father to be attracted to her.

If her father liked Jiang Youning, he might try to separate them, and then Xie Jing would be hers.

Thinking of this, she became confident again.

Coming out of the palace, Jiang Youning took a long breath. The palace was indeed very depressing.

Living in the palace for a long time, she might have depression.

Xie Jing held Jiang Youning's hand, feeling anxious but a little uneasy. The emperor looked at An Ning in a strange way just now, and he was afraid that both the father and daughter were not good people.

Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Xie Jing, "Are you hurt? You must be tired after being out for so long. Let's go back and rest early, heal your injuries and go home early."

Xie Jing felt that she was right, it was time to go back early. He, a grown man, missed home, let alone her, a woman?

The prince said to Jiang Youning, "Don't worry, I will mention it to my father to make him give up this idea."

Jiang Youning was very grateful to have the prince's help, "Thank you."

The prince smiled, "You're welcome."

On the way back, Xiao Yu said, "That princess is even more shameless than my cousin. She knew that Brother Xie had a wife and asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for her."

Jiang Youning nodded in agreement, "You're right. It's really shameless to think about a married man."

Xie Jing also hated this kind of woman, but he happened to meet her.

Xie Jing wanted to swear.

After returning, Xie Jing had lunch and went to bed.

Jiang Qibai came over and asked, "Sister, how is it?"

Jiang Youning sighed, "My husband is too handsome, which is also a problem."

Jiang Qibai laughed, "Excellent people will be coveted by others. The fact that so many people like Xie Jing is enough to show that he is quite charming."

Jiang Youning nodded in agreement. She thought that she was also confused by this face at the beginning.

However, there is still a difference.

Jiang Qibai said, "Now that you mention it, it seems that the emperor is not going to let her go?"

"My eldest brother guessed it right. The emperor dotes on the princess too much. He really agrees to her every request." Jiang Youning clicked his tongue twice.

The prince had said before that the princess was very favored. She had her own mansion before she got married and raised a group of assassins. It was not surprising that he could agree to the princess's request.

Xiao Yu brought a pot of tea and placed it in front of them, along with a few plates of cakes. He sneered, "It's far from my brother the emperor."

Xiao Yun was young, but he was a well-known wise ruler. Only Xiao Yun would treat Xie Jing like a brother.

Whatever Xie Jing wanted, Xiao Yun would give it to him generously.

When a good general meets a wise ruler, it is hard not to enjoy peace and prosperity for the country.

Jiang Youning was eating cakes and didn't see Chu Qing, so she asked Xiao Yu, "By the way, where is the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Good night, my babies!
