"Your Highness the Crown Prince has never met the ladies, so he naturally does not know the ladies' personalities. However, Your Highness the Crown Prince wants someone who will stay with him forever, so he devised this plan to test the ladies.

Now everyone has seen that Miss Wen would rather stay with the Buddha than marry anyone else. Such a pure and kind woman is the model of a crown princess. Your Highness, are you satisfied now? You have found the person you are looking for!"

When these words were spoken, the ministers were in an uproar, and Wen Xixue lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

She looked at Leng Yichen shyly again, but was disappointed to find that Leng Yichen had kept his eyes on Lan Shuiyao from beginning to end. There was clear disappointment and heartache in his eyes!

"You kid!" Han Hou said unhappily, "Can you test anything? You are a man, how can you let a woman express her feelings first!"

Facing the rebuke from Queen Han, Leng Yichen gave a bitter smile. In the current situation, he had already seen Shui Yao's determination. It seemed that he was reckless today. But since she knew him so well and spoke so confidently, how could she not understand his heart?

Although he appears to be a playboy, she is the only one in his heart. Now that she is pushing him to another woman, what does it mean?

Prime Minister Wen immediately stood up and said, "In this case, please ask the Emperor and Empress to make the decision for my daughter!"

"Wait!" Leng Yichen whispered, standing up and meeting the gazes of Emperor Han and Empress Han.

"Father, Mother, what Shui Yao said just now is right. I want someone who loves me. Today, I only met Miss Wen once. It seems a bit hasty to grant us a marriage so soon. Can you give me some time to get along with Miss Wen?

After the understanding, it won’t be too late to arrange the marriage!”

Wen Xixue bit her lip tightly. She was very smart, so how could she not hear the refusal in Leng Yichen's words? So she said coldly, "Your Majesty, Xixue means the same thing. Why don't we just leave this matter to the two of us!"

"Xixue, what did you say!" Originally, he had no opinion on who his daughter married, because no matter who she married, his daughter would be the future queen.

But now that Xixue has rejected the marriage with King Hui, everyone can see that she likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has declined, she actually speaks for him. In this way, won't all his careful arrangements be wasted?

"Daddy, Xixue only loves and dotes on her, but she is also a proud person. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still hesitant, Xixue can wait!"

Xixue turned around and bowed to Wen Zhang from a distance. She was so generous and well-behaved that Emperor Han and Queen Han nodded repeatedly.

Emperor Han wanted to force the order, but seeing Leng Yichen's determined expression and the unclear relationship between him and the Saintess of Louxi Country, he was unable to make a decision and could only sigh.

"It seems that I am getting old and I don't know what the children think or want. Well, today is a chance for everyone to get to know each other. It's not too late to talk about engagement later!"

When Queen Han saw this, she was very unhappy. She understood that Emperor Han wanted to continue dragging it out. He had not yet decided whether to pass the throne to the crown prince or King Hui!

She glared at Leng Yichen fiercely. She didn't understand why Leng Yichen didn't understand her painstaking efforts?

This somewhat depressing and somewhat funny imperial concubine selection ceremony finally came to an end. The hall was empty, with only

There were a few eunuchs cleaning the room. Shui Yao was sitting lazily on the couch, holding a wine jug in her fingers, looking at Leng Yichen from a distance.

"Okay, you go down first!" Leng Yichen said coldly, wiping his sleeves impatiently. When the young eunuchs saw this, they knew that he was in a bad mood and immediately retreated in a panic.

"You seem to be very majestic in this palace!" Shui Yao picked up the wine jug lazily and glanced at Leng Yichen.

Leng Yichen said nothing, but walked towards her, suddenly sat down beside her, took the wine jug from her hand, and gulped down a few mouthfuls, "I am the Leng prince, you always seem to forget my identity!"

Is that why you rejected me so much? — Leng Yichen's subtext!

"I haven't forgotten. It's because I know you are the cold prince and I know the hardships you have endured as a hostage in Nanyue for five years that I did that tonight! If I hadn't shown up, wouldn't you still have made Wen Xixue the crown princess?"

Leng Yichen lazily raised his eyebrows, narrowed his charming peach blossom eyes, and glanced at Lan Shuiyao coldly.

"You know a lot! Yes, if you hadn't shown up, I might have married that woman, but now that you've shown up, I'll take this as another chance God has given me!"

Shui Yao leaned lazily, her head heaving, she was very sleepy, her voice was also fuzzy, "It seems that I really showed up at the wrong time!"

Leng Yichen smiled bitterly, took a few more sips of wine, and looked at her sideways, "Are you really here to collect a debt from me?"

When the money was mentioned, Shui Yao, who was originally sleepy, immediately opened her eyes wide and smiled. There was even some flattery in that smile, "Yes, yes, is it convenient for you?" After saying that, her eyes froze again and threatened, "You have to give it to me even if it is not convenient, otherwise, hmph!

”

Leng Yichen smiled faintly, "It's really inconvenient. If you want half of the national treasury, you have to wait until I ascend the throne. Now I am just the prince. If I blatantly give you half of the national treasury, I will no longer be the prince tomorrow!"

"I know!" Shui Yao laughed twice, which gave Leng Yichen goose bumps all over his body. He hugged his chest and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Go, stop pretending. What I mean is, we can discuss it. I don't want half of the national treasury, but you have to promise me one thing!" Shui Yao came up to him enthusiastically, blinking her big eyes.

Leng Yichen raised his arm and stroked his smooth chin. "This matter must be very important, right? Otherwise, you who love money so much, are you willing to exchange half of the Han Kingdom's treasury for it?"

"The one who knows me best is Leng Yichen!" Shui Yao patted his shoulder proudly, "As the crown prince of Han Country, you must have heard something about the current situation, right?"

"Are you talking about Nanyue?" Leng Yichen smiled faintly, "Of course I know! Now Louxi Kingdom and Jieqiao Kingdom both want to be independent, and Miluo Kingdom will take action soon!"

Shui Yao raised her eyebrows, "How do you know? Did you also get the news?"

Leng Yichen sneered, "You can only guess with your knees, that A Luo..." He glanced at Shui Yao thoughtfully, "Do you know what love turns into hate? He is no longer the original A Luo!"

Shui Yao shook his shoulder again, "You are absolutely right, he is indeed a smart and wise prince of the Han Kingdom! A Luo also killed my Ying Lu, although he didn't do it himself, he is also involved!"

Leng Yichen frowned slightly, "Lan Shuiyao, you'd better stop flattering me. Every time you look at me in such a flattering way, I will

Losing a sum of money is just like when we first cooperated. We clearly agreed to split the profits 70% to 30%. But every time you smiled like that, you gave me less money!"

Shui Yao rubbed her hands with a giggle, "So you knew everything! Then why didn't you expose me?"

Leng Yichen smiled lightly, "Some things can't be bought with money! And I like to see your flattering look, it's much better than your ruthless and cold look!"

"Humph!" Shui Yao snorted coldly and leaned back to her original position. "I see. I thought I got a bargain. Turns out!"

Leng Yichen smiled faintly again and said softly, "Tell me, what do you want to exchange for half of my Han country's treasury? The conditions you propose must be big enough, otherwise I will despise you. The owner of Lanshuilou, who has always been calculating and smart, has degenerated!"

"In that case, I won't be polite. Leng Yichen, you are very good. I want you to send out 100,000 troops. 50,000 will stop A Luo's army, and the other 50,000 will go to the Giant Clam Kingdom. After all, the Han Kingdom is adjacent to the Giant Clam Kingdom!"

Originally, she just wanted Leng Yichen to send troops to contain A Luo, but since the other party was so kind and Shui Yao had never been polite, she opened her mouth for a huge sum!

"It's indeed a very cost-effective condition!" Leng Yichen was stunned for a moment, then just smiled faintly, but his eyes became serious, "Do you think I will agree to you?"

Shui Yao smiled faintly, stood up, and bargained with him as if she were at a negotiation table, "Will you agree? The lips and teeth are cold, and Han Country is adjacent to Nanyue. If Nanyue is annexed by the three countries, what Han Country will face, I don't need to tell you, you know it!"

"But I can also take the opportunity to share this piece of meat like the Miro Kingdom. After all, Nanyue's meat is very fat and everyone wants to eat it!" Leng Yichen said lazily.
