“Lord Anle, you should at least have your guards step back a bit. After all, you’ve been involved with the little princess. Otherwise, outsiders will say we’re bullying the weak and fearing the strong.”
Lu Fengjun, that incompetent official, whose side is he really on? He must have brought this woman with him; he really knows how to stir up trouble.
I went to see Xie Yuancheng, and he hugged me and kissed me before telling the people next to him to step aside. "Step aside!"
These young men are really something; they separated themselves so neatly, standing in perfect order. Only then did I notice the person lying on the ground, dressed in bright red, with neatly styled hair and a bell bracelet on their wrist—how tacky!
When she looked up, her eyes were bright and she stared directly at Xie Yuancheng. "Lord Marquis." She got up and was about to walk forward when she was blocked by a weapon.
“I have something to say to you, Lord Marquis. The Emperor of Da Zhao has given me a token. If you agree, I can stay here. Please help me, Lord Marquis.”
A bell rang out, and she immediately knelt on the ground. I could hear the sound; she really doesn't feel any pain. Lu Fengjun stood to the side, his expression practically screaming schadenfreude.
"Get to the point. I don't have time to waste with this princess. I need to stroll through the garden with my wife."
As long as he's not acting like a slacker, he exudes righteousness, and I'm practically a fangirl. I propped myself up on my hands to look at him. Xie Yuancheng winked at me and continued sitting upright.
“My lord, I am just a princess of a defeated kingdom. I met you at the banquet and felt that you could provide me with a place to live. I have no other request. As long as you agree to marry me, I will stay in the capital.”
Bah! What a lame excuse! Who do you think you are? You're not exactly a beauty that could topple kingdoms, yet you want Xie Yuancheng to be your consort? He did have the title of Consort Chequ, although it was later rejected, but even the worst title he could have had was Marquis Anle.
"I disagree!" Before Xie Yuancheng could speak, I subtly mocked the princess with the bell, "Since you are a princess, you should know etiquette. I don't know how the Li Kingdom teaches its princesses. When you came this morning, we refused to see any guests. You've come three times already. This time you brought Lord Lu with you, are you trying to force a marriage?"
"Unfortunately, Your Excellency already has me as your principal wife. You yourself said you are a princess of a fallen kingdom, and in my presence you are nothing but a commoner. Since I, as your principal wife, do not agree, you are not allowed to even consider it."
"Madam is right. What you said is exactly what I think." Don't flatter me. I'll ask the people here later how they actually guard the gate.
I saw the princess clench her fists. "Please understand, Madam. I am only filled with love for the Marquis. As long as I stay by your side, I will do anything for you."
"Forget it. If you're unwilling, you might as well find someone who admires you and spoils you rotten. You shamelessly barged in, and the Marquis should be grateful for even seeing you once. Send him away."
"Yes!" These young men in black were not the type to show mercy to women. No matter how much the princess with the bell shouted, or even when her shoes were kicked off, they didn't care and simply carried her out.
Lu Fengjun clapped his hands, "That's really too much. Why didn't I try to fight for it back then?"
"You can try to win over Lord Lu, but once she's thrown out, you can go and comfort her. I'll have Lingwu sever ties with you then." What a wicked man, still has the nerve to call his teacher "father-in-law."
"Oh dear~ Is the Marquis's wife pretending to be stupid? I'm not talking about that at all. It's something we all know perfectly well."
I looked up at him, and Xie Yuancheng gripped my wrist. "Don't listen to his nonsense. I don't like indecisive men. Little Chengcheng is much more domineering and loves me to death!"
"That's good. Someone, spread the word that Princess Li of the Kingdom has trespassed into the Ninth Prince's residence, and instruct the Ministry of War to handle the matter accordingly. Also, send someone to invite a troop of elite soldiers stationed outside the city to enter the city and guard the Ninth Prince's residence."
"yes!"
"You need approval from above to bring your elite troops into the city. No one is allowed to bring troops into the city without a valid reason." Lu Fengjun, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, not only didn't help stop Xie Yuancheng, but also wanted to intimidate him!
"Lord Lu, didn't you come here today to help me get a pass?"
"Alright, but Marquis Anle owes me a favor, which I will have to repay in the future."
"It's already been repaid. Now, Lord Lu owes me more. You'd better send someone to take this woman of unknown origin away. Wearing a bell and swaying back and forth in front of me, does she want to be a cat or a dog?"
"I have confirmed that she is indeed a princess of the Li Kingdom. The Li Kingdom is currently a vassal state, and we wish to enhance the relationship between the two countries. This little princess came to the capital for the sake of Marquis Anle."
"I am a human being and do not like these cats and dogs. Please give them to other people who do like them."
"Very well, His Majesty sent his subordinates to investigate the situation, and since Marquis Anle has said so, naturally we won't let her bother us again. Sigh, he visited the Ninth Prince's residence three times, aren't you moved at all?"
"I dislike animals, especially those who try to climb the social ladder by relying on their petty cleverness. I despise them even more. I'm already being very lenient by not punishing them with a cane today."
These two were doing a stand-up comedy routine in front of the servants. I was about to stretch when Lu Fengjun finally left. Just as I was about to get up, Xie Yuancheng told everyone to step back and stared intently at me.
“I didn’t say anything wrong. Wearing a bell makes her look cheap, and she claims to be a princess of a defeated country. Of course, I don’t want her.”
"Ying'er~ I miss you so much~" Xie Yuancheng, that bastard, even though there were maids standing not far away, he hugged me and carried me over. He only let me breathe when I was about to cry.
"It's cold~ I'll go inside to talk, come on~" I shielded him from the wind in front of me, my back was chilly, so I decided to go back inside instead of looking at the flowers.
"Yes, I'll take the lady inside now, so you won't interrogate me tonight. It's very unpleasant to be accused of something without cause."
You're smart enough to carry me. Xie Yuancheng deliberately carried me into the house. Next time, I'll kick his waist a few times and let him hang on the wood to see if it's more comfortable to carry him or carry him.
A kingfisher flew over and chirped to me that after Princess Dailingdang was thrown out, her bottom was sticking up in the air and her face was touching the ground. She fell so badly that she didn't look like a princess at all, and she looked very funny.
"Serves her right! She dares to steal my man, I think she's tired of living!" I patted the cushion next to me happily. Xie Yuancheng brought in the soup and deliberately said that his little darling was frightened.
"Don't let your guard down, she's very capable of causing trouble. She was the most favored concubine in the harem when she was just over three years old. The emperor and empress of Li Kingdom doted on her rotten. All those who didn't like her are dead. I heard that a young boy even tried to seize the throne for her. She must be trying to use you."
"What? What kind of country bumpkin princess is this? Does she think everyone has to obey her just because she wears a bell?"
"Ying'er? Who are you cursing?" Xie Yuancheng pulled me over to sit down, and I told him I was talking to a kingfisher. "You've really mastered bird language."
