Chapter 81 Good kids, go play

Perhaps because she noticed that Zong Jincheng's angry gaze was too scorching, Zhaorong finally showed mercy and thought of considering the child's young and fragile mind.

So the fourteen-year-old princess pretended to be a mature elder, patted his shoulder and said, "Good boy, go play."

Little Devil: “!!!”

Who is the child? !

Are you a few years older than me?

Play with your hammer! !

Zong Jincheng angrily shook off Zhaorong's arm. He wanted to fight back, but then he remembered her identity as a princess. He snorted heavily, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Rong was surprised and turned to Xu Wan and said, "You are really troublesome. Look at your rebellious look. You have worked too hard."

Xu Wan was amused. She explained, "In fact, Jin Cheng has been much better recently than before. He didn't get angry with you just now."

Zhao Rong laughed loudly and said, "Let him turn over. I promise not to use my status as a princess to suppress him. He's just an eight-year-old kid. At most, we can have a fight. I'm also very good at fighting!"

Xu Wan: “…”

You are a princess, why are you fighting? !

Zhaorong took her arm and continued, "I have loved martial arts since I was a child. The prince's martial arts teacher even praised me for my talent. Unfortunately, I am a girl. Not only can I not go to the battlefield, I can't even decide my own marriage."

When Xu Wan heard her mention marriage, she asked, "Princess, you are still one year away from coming of age. Has the palace already started looking for a husband for you?"

Zhaorong shook her head and said, "No, but it will be soon. My father has been thinking about marriage for the past few years. There are only a few princesses who are of marriageable age. If I marry too late, I might end up marrying a foreign princess."

Although the princess married far away for the purpose of forming an alliance between the two countries, she had to endure the pain of not being able to return to her parents' home or see her relatives for the rest of her life.

Xu Wan said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, Princess Sui Ning was like this back then. As soon as she reached the age of 15, she quickly found a consort. Half a year later, an envoy came to propose a marriage, and the emperor had no choice but to find a princess to marry."

Zhaorong nodded frantically: "That's right, so mother also agrees that I should first decide on a prince consort and get married when I reach the age of 15."

Xu Wan understood, and she asked again: "Then the princess wants to take advantage of leaving the palace today to look for a prince consort?"

Zhaorong was touched by what she said, and shyly pulled her into an empty pavilion, then whispered in her ear: "Actually, I already have a goal."

Xu Wan turned to look at her in disbelief: "So fast?"

She actually wanted to ask why it was so early!

Although people in ancient times got married early, in her time, this age was considered premature love among junior high school students and would result in parents breaking their legs.

So Xu Wan swallowed her saliva and kept brainwashing herself in her heart: Calm down, don't be impulsive, she is only one year away from coming of age, the worst that can happen is an engagement for a year first, a child marriage can be arranged even earlier than that.

Zhaorong said shyly, "It's Chen Shigeng, the younger brother of today's groom Chen Yunyu."

"Who are you talking about?!" Xu Wan was shocked. "Chen Shigeng?"

As early as a month ago, when she knew that Xu Lian'er was going to marry Chen Yunyu, Cui Liu told her about the situation of the Duke of Jin's family.

The eldest son, Chen Yunyu, became a fourth-rank official at the age of twenty. On the surface, he was a good man that all the legitimate daughters in the capital wanted to marry, but in fact he had a concubine who he kept very well hidden and was waiting to bring her into the house after his principal wife got married.

At that time, Xu Wan complained to Cui Liu that he was a well-dressed and gentlemanly scoundrel. Unexpectedly, Cui Liu said that Chen Yunyu's second brother Chen Shigeng was also a martial arts scoundrel. He followed his brother's example and also kept mistresses outside, and more than one.

Zhao Rong was still confused and said excitedly, "Yes, Chen Shigeng, his martial arts are amazing. Last time, the rope of the swing broke and I flew out of the palace. He saved me, otherwise I would have been badly injured."

Xu Wan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Although she had only known the Eighteenth Princess for a short time, she actually felt angry that her daughter had been deceived by a yellow-haired man. Moreover, the little girl was just beginning to have feelings. If she directly exposed Chen Shigeng's true face at this time, it would only cause the Eighteenth Princess to be disgusted, and she would not believe it.

Over there, the young Zhaorong was still holding her hands to her heart, saying immersively, "You don't know how handsome he was at that time, like a god from heaven. I bumped into him and felt his chest was hard, but also very safe. My heart was beating so fast, the nanny said I was blushing with shame, the book says that's the feeling of being moved!"

Xu Wan: “………………”

That's the suspension bridge effect, sister! That's not heartbeat!!

Even though Xu Wan was roaring in her heart, she had to explain calmly on the surface: "In that situation, anyone would have their heartbeat speed up and their face would turn red. Princess, this is just an illusion. Don't mistake nervousness for being moved."

"Ah...ah?" Zhaorong stopped fantasizing and looked at her in confusion.

Xu Wan tried to make her tone gentle and caring: "If you don't believe me, I can let Cui Liu take you to experience it again."

…

"Ahhhhh..." Zhaorong was brought down from the sky by Cui Liu, screaming and crying, still in shock.

She gasped and asked, "Xiwu, is Xiwu so exciting?"

Xu Wan said, "An accelerated heartbeat, flushed face, and rapid breathing are all signs of heartbeat as described in the book. How can the princess tell whether she is heartbeating or not?"

"I can tell them apart. Cui Liu is a girl." Love Brain said truthfully.

Xu Wan covered her head and said in pain, "Princess, you are a precious girl, how dare a man outside touch you? Not to mention that you were still in the palace at that time, there should have been maids in the courtyard who were skilled in martial arts to protect you, why did you need Chen Shigeng to rescue you?"

If you think about it carefully, he is even a pervert who doesn't know his limits.

But Xu Wan didn't dare to say too much, for fear that Zhaorong would turn against her, which would be counterproductive.

Even so, Zhao Rong was somewhat unhappy. She asked, "Do you have a prejudice against Chen Shigeng? You don't want me to marry him?"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "No, I just think that the princess is still young, and she should be more careful in choosing a prince consort to avoid being deceived. After all, marriage is a major event in life, and I hope that the princess can live happily every day."

Zhao Rong smiled again, walked forward, took her hand and said, "I know, Sister Xu, don't worry, I will definitely let my mother help me to check carefully, so that I won't be easily deceived."

Xu Wan nodded worriedly.

I thought, I hope everything goes well.

After Xu Wan finished talking to Zhao Rong, she hurried to the main hall, where the bride and groom were worshiping heaven and earth.

The little devil is here too.

It's just that because he couldn't squeeze in and was too short, he couldn't see anything, so he was sitting on Buyan's shoulders and looking inside with his big head.

Zhao Rong laughed and complained, "This kid really loves to watch the excitement. This can't stop him. Speaking of which, when you marry into the Marquis' Mansion, he will definitely find a good seat to watch the wedding."
