Chapter 577 Don’t You Want to Marry Me?
Inside the tower.
The concubines were chatting with each other in a lively atmosphere. The princes and princesses occasionally interrupted and made jokes, which made the empress dowager smile happily. The emperor also laughed several times.
At this time, a servant walked in with his head down, stopped beside the King of England, and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Marquis family wants to see you."
Luo Yechen glanced sideways: "Where is she?"
"It's right below the tower."
Luo Yechen glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was chatting happily and no one noticed him, so he quietly left.
He walked down the stairs.
Bu Shengyan crossed her arms across her chest and leaned against the wall.
She was wearing a white round-necked Hu costume today. Her waist was tied thinly with a belt, making her look slender. She had a horse whip hanging around her waist and black riding boots on her feet. Her long hair was tied up high behind her head and fixed with a jade hairpin.
This was originally a man's outfit, but she wore it in a way that made her look heroic and beautiful.
She heard footsteps and raised her phoenix eyes to look at Luo Yechen.
This seemingly careless glance actually made Luo Yechen taste some of Lianluo's charm.
Luo Yechen quickly shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
This tigress is very ferocious, and has nothing to do with the word "romantic" with her!
He stopped and deliberately kept a distance from the other person, in case the woman suddenly went crazy and attacked him again.
Luo Yechen: "Are you here to watch the dragon boat race too?"
Bu Shengyan stood up straight: "I came here specifically to see you."
Luo Yechen: "What do you want me to do?"
Bu Shengyan pulled out a small red notebook from her sleeve and handed it to the other person.
"This is the engagement letter you sent me. I'm returning it to you."
Luo Yechen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Before they got engaged, they had already exchanged engagement letters and had the Imperial Astronomical Observer calculate whether their horoscopes were compatible. The result was naturally that they were suitable, so the subsequent betrothal and engagement took place.
Now that they have even set the wedding date, Bu Shengyan wants to return the engagement letter to Luo Yechen.
Bu Shengyan pursed her beautiful red lips and said, "I don't want to marry you. Our marriage is not suitable."
In fact, she had wanted to find Luo Yechen to break off the engagement a long time ago, but because she was watched very closely by her father and could not even leave the house, the matter was delayed again and again.
Now that she had finally managed to escape from the house under the pretext of watching the dragon boat race, she immediately came to Luo Yechen to discuss breaking off the engagement.
She said seriously, "I know you don't like me, and I don't like you either. We are tired of each other, so why not cancel this marriage? This way, both of us can be at ease."
Luo Yechen: "It's useless for you to tell me this. The marriage was granted by my father. If I don't marry you, it would be against his will. Do you know what the consequences of disobeying his will are? You will be beheaded. Do you want to kill me?"
Bu Shengyan said anxiously: "But you are the emperor's son, how could the emperor be willing to kill you?"
Luo Yechen: "Are there not many precedents in history of emperors killing their sons? If you go home and flip through history books, you can find many examples."
Bu Shengyan still maintained the posture of handing out the engagement letter, her fingers turning slightly white due to excessive force.
At this moment, she looked like a poplar growing in the desert.
Tall, strong, and stubborn as hell.
She took a deep breath and said, "I will ask the emperor to take back his decision and cancel this marriage. If the emperor asks you about your opinion, I hope you can tell him the truth and say that you don't like me and don't want to marry me."
After saying this, she was about to walk up to the city wall.
Luo Yechen grabbed her arm and said unhappily.
"Are you crazy? You are rushing up to the emperor and asking him to cancel the engagement. It's like disobeying his order in front of everyone. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will chop off your head in anger?"
Bu Shengyan shook his hand away: "I have no other choice. This is my last chance. I can only take a gamble."
Luo Yechen couldn't help but ask, "Don't you really want to marry me?"
Although he didn't have any good feelings for Bu Shengyan, if he had a choice, he actually didn't want to marry her.
But when he saw that she would rather risk her life than beg the emperor to cancel the engagement, he felt very indignant.
Is he that bad?
This woman would rather die than marry him? !
Luo Yechen's self-esteem was greatly hurt.
Not far away on the moat, accompanied by the sound of a crisp gong, the dragon boat race officially began!
Seven or eight dragon boats set off at the same time and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
The rhythmic drum beats rose and fell, and the horns were shouted loudly.
The people on the river bank cheered at the top of their lungs.
Luo Yechen was anxious to save his face and said indignantly.
"Do you think I really want to marry you? I have no choice but to make this concession. I am willing to suffer a loss and marry you, but you are ungrateful and want to cancel the engagement? Look at what kind of person you are, you are fierce and fierce, all the men in Shengjing are afraid of you. If I don't marry you, you can only stay at home and be an old lady for the rest of your life!"
If it were another girl, she would definitely feel ashamed and angry when hearing this.
But Bu Shengyan replied calmly.
"I wish I could be an old aunt at home."
Luo Yechen was stunned.
He looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want to leave the mansion."
Luo Yechen felt like he had heard some fairy tale, and sneered, "You are a girl, and you don't want to get married. Do you want to go to heaven?"
Bu Shengyan: "I want to stay at home and serve my father."
Luo Yechen was stunned again: "Ah?"
Bu Shengyan's eyes were slightly red: "My brother and mother are gone, and my father is in poor health. I am worried about him, so I want to stay at home to take care of him."
Luo Yechen didn't expect to hear such an answer.
He thought that the woman wanted to cancel the engagement because she was willful and unreasonable, but he didn't expect that the truth was actually like this.
Bu Shengyan was unwilling to show her vulnerable side in front of others.
She didn't want people to feel sorry for her.
But at this point, she had no other choice.
"I have never begged anyone in my life. I am begging you now. When I go to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement, can you help me say a few words?"
Having said this, she knelt down on one knee.
Luo Yechen was startled and quickly pulled the man up: "What are you doing? If someone sees this, they will think I am bullying you, and then my reputation will be ruined!"
Bu Shengyan grabbed his wrist and looked at him intently.
"I beg you."
Luo Yechen was very annoyed: "Even if I agree to you, my father may not cancel this marriage."
Bu Shengyan: "No matter whether this thing can be accomplished in the end, I will accept your kindness."
Just when Luo Yechen was in a dilemma.
Bu Shengyan's eyes changed, and she suddenly took action and pushed him hard!
