Chapter 209, Selecting a Prince Consort
Winnie looked at Kong Xiyan, her eyes full of shock, as if it was the first time she heard such words.
From childhood to adulthood, all she had heard was about what she should do as the eldest princess, what she should and should not do...
It was the first time she heard someone say that she was better and more worthy of love now that she was in such a mess.
"You, you are the kid!" Winnie blushed and turned her head away.
"That's right, no other kid curses as dirty as you do. When you cursed me in the room before...tsk tsk tsk tsk, so dirty!" Kong Xiyan shook her head and clicked her tongue.
"Shut up!" The blush on Winnie's face spread to her neck. "It was you who bullied me first! You kept making things difficult for me during the meal!"
"I'm sorry." Kong Xiyan apologized quickly: "It's my fault."
"It's your fault in the first place." Winnie continued to look at the fireworks in the sky: "This is the first time I've seen fireworks like this."
"Who isn't?" Kong Xiyan smiled and looked over. "I've never stood on the outer wall of the palace with a princess to watch fireworks before. No one would believe me if I told anyone else!"
"I don't think anyone would believe that a madman would dare to treat a princess like this." Winnie felt a little scared just thinking about it. She sighed and said, "Okay, let's go back."
"Well, it's time to go back. The fireworks are almost over, and I'm feeling a bit cold." Kong Xiyan glanced at Winnie, then looked up and chuckled, "How do we get back?"
"?!" Winnie turned her head stiffly and looked at Kong Xiyan in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Hey, don't be so mean. I knew how to get back before, but now you're here, and you've taken up the best spot. Now I can't get any leverage to get up!"
"Don't talk like it's my fault!" Winnie's eyes widened: "You were the one who pulled me down!"
"I didn't even think about going back at that time!" Kong Xiyan spread her hands, her body swaying in the wind.
"I told you not to let go!" Winnie was almost driven crazy by Kong Xiyan.
"I'm sorry! This time it's my fault!" Kong Xiyan quickly steadied herself against the wall and stood up straight: "Ah~ There's always a way~"
"It's always your fault!" Winnie's voice drowned out Kong Xiyan's voice: "Then tell me what we should do now!"
"Um...you called the guards?"
"I can't do that!" Winnie shook her head vigorously. "Do you even know what the eldest princess of Xing Ertang is like? Calling guards in this situation? I! I absolutely don't want that!"
"Then..." Kong Xiyan looked forward: "Look, these fireworks are so beautiful!"
"Don't try to change the subject!"
“Tsk.”
"Tsk? Are you tsk-ing me?"
"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly~"
"Kong! Xi! Yan!" For the first time since she was born, Winnie had the urge to kill.
"So you know my name?" Kong Xiyan smiled even brighter: "You always call me a disgusting Chinese and so on. I thought you didn't know my name!"
"you!"
"Cousin Winnie, Sister Xiyan, what are you doing?" Mo Ya's voice came from under their feet.
Mo Ya looked up at the two people hanging outside the palace wall.
Is this the legendary... a pleasant conversation?
Um?
"Moya!" Hearing this voice, Winnie quickly lowered her head to look, but because she was afraid of heights, she felt a flash in front of her eyes and then felt dizzy.
Kong Xiyan, who was standing by, quickly supported Winnie and said to Mo Ya, "Mo Ya, go get someone to pick us up."
"OK." Mo Ya made an OK gesture, turned around and ran away.
"No, no!" Winnie grabbed Kong Xiyan's arm and shook her head, her voice a little weak.
"Are you still trying to save face at this time?" Kong Xiyan frowned.
"No, Moya, Moya will talk nonsense!" As soon as Winnie finished speaking, she heard Moya running away and shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Oh no! Aunt Queen! Cousin Winnie and Sister Xiyan committed suicide for love!"
"..." The corner of Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched. Mo Ya, this guy really deserves a beating!
"..." Winnie hung her head, her face ashen. Her lifelong reputation...
With the help of the guards, Kong Xiyan and Winnie finally landed safely.
"Winnie, are you okay?" The king and queen immediately walked quickly towards Winnie: "Are you hurt?"
"Sister! How are you?" Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Yongan also walked quickly towards Kong Xiyan, looking at her with concern.
"I'm fine." Kong Xiyan and Winnie said in unison: "Wait a moment."
The two men walked straight towards Moya and raised their fists at the same time.
In the end, Winnie couldn't bear to hit Mo Ya, and her hand remained frozen in mid-air. However, Kong Xiyan hit Mo Ya cleanly and neatly.
"Ouch! It hurts!" Mo Ya covered her head and shrank her neck, then quickly ran behind the prince and hid.
"Is the beating a bit too hard?" Winnie felt a little distressed.
"It's because you've been pampering her that she keeps talking nonsense all day long!" Kong Xiyan snorted softly, "In my opinion, this is not even a light punishment! And she's even committing suicide for love! Can't you say something auspicious so late at night?"
"We all know that Moya was just joking." The queen smiled and took their hands: "As long as you are okay, that's all."
"Mother." Winnie felt her eyes getting hot when she looked at the queen. After Kong Xiyan's analysis, she could already understand the love her father and mother had for her. Thinking about her previous behavior, Winnie felt very upset.
After all, she was ignorant.
"It's getting late, let's not disturb you any further." Zhong Yongan breathed a sigh of relief after making sure Kong Xiyan was fine, and said to her, "Why don't we just stop here tonight?"
"Okay." Kong Xiyan nodded and moved her shoulders. She had to keep herself steady and protect Winnie, so she was quite tired.
She has indeed been a little negligent in her practice recently. It has only been a short time and she already feels sore in her shoulders.
It seems that I still need to practice these basic skills.
"Father, Mother." Winnie looked at the King and Queen with tears in her eyes. "I have decided to choose a prince consort from this visiting Chinese group, as you requested."
"That's great." Seeing that Winnie had come to her senses, King Leon also showed a relieved smile. It would take two years anyway. In two years, Winnie and Yangyang would only be 20 years old. Wouldn't they have the final say on what to do then?
"But I want to choose my own engagement partner." Winnie took a deep breath.
"Sure." King Leon nodded immediately and introduced Zhong Yongan to Winnie. "Winnie, this is Xiyan and Yangyang's eldest brother. You've met him. He's unmarried and very handsome. Do you think he's suitable to be your consort?"
"?" Zhong Yongan was surprised. Before he could refuse, he heard Winnie say, "No, I've already chosen someone."
After saying this, Winnie walked straight to Kong Xiyan's side, took her hand, and interlocked their fingers: "I want her to be my consort!"
Kong Xiyan turned her head stiffly and looked at Winnie, and a question mark slowly formed in her mind.
"?"
