Chapter 154 Like and Love
Su Yunyao watched his cheeks grow redder and redder, until the blush had spread to the back of his ears, and even his neck was a little pink.
Su Yunyao's eyes trembled. Although she had eaten very full last night, she still wanted to tease him when she saw his blushing face.
"you……"
Su Yunyao moved her lips, but before she could finish the words, Zhenzhu hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Princess, this is bad. After Dong Liao learned that General Huo had gone to guard Dongling Pass, they were afraid that they would become the next General Huo. After their envoy met with the emperor, they said they wanted to send Dong Liao's third prince to Shengjing City for marriage."
The third prince?
"that……"
Su Yunyao didn't have time to finish her words.
Xu Mubai didn't know how his elbow touched the bowl of tea on his left.
The tea bowl was overturned and smashed directly on the ground, making a crisp sound and spilling tea all over the floor.
Su Yunyao looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Xu Mubai's face was filled with panic. His eyes flashed and he knelt on the ground: "Princess, please forgive me."
"What happened to you? It's just a tea bowl. If it's broken, it's broken. This princess doesn't blame you. Get up."
Xu Mubai then slowly stood up, his expression solemn: "Princess, will you agree?"
"Agree to what?" Su Yunyao was surprised.
"I agree to the marriage with the third prince of Dong Liao." Xu Mubai's voice was very soft, so soft that even he could hardly hear it.
Su Yunyao stared at him blankly for three full seconds before bursting out in laughter. "No, what are you thinking about? A marriage? Who can enter my princess's mansion just by wanting to? Who can become my man just by wanting to? A third prince of Dong Liao wants to enter my princess's mansion so easily. When did the threshold of my princess's mansion become so low?"
Xu Mubai's eyes trembled, and he was obviously relieved. "Then the princess is not going to accept it?"
Should I?
When Su Yunyao heard him say this, she seemed to really think about it seriously. She lightly touched her lips with her fingertips, "I have plans. If she is beautiful enough, it seems that it would be nice to take her into the palace as a concubine. I can enjoy a beautiful man and help my brother solve a problem at the same time. Why not?"
Xu Mubai pursed his lips and spoke after a while.
"Princess, if I remember correctly, Xijing also wanted to give their mansion to you. Everyone has seen what happened to Xijing now. Dongliao already knew that even if they sent the prince here, it might not have a good outcome. So why did they go to such lengths? It's clear that Dongliao has ulterior motives in wanting to send the third prince to the princess's mansion. Perhaps they have ulterior motives and even want to use the princess's mansion to inquire about Daxia's news. It's not impossible. Princess, please think twice and absolutely do not agree lightly."
Su Yunyao's eyebrows twitched, and she stared at him thoughtfully for a while.
"You're not right today."
Xu Mubai's eyes flickered: "Princess, why do you say that?"
"You seem to have great hostility towards the Third Prince of Dong Liao."
After Su Yunyao finished speaking, she withdrew her hand from his chin.
"Princess." Xu Mubai paused, "I love you, so naturally I don't like other men getting close to you."
"Are you pleased with me?"
Su Yunyao sneered, "So you don't like Huo Xiao and Lu Mingfeng either? Why didn't you show such a big reaction when they approached me?"
"They are different." A hint of sadness flashed across Xu Mubai's eyes.
"What's the difference?" Su Yunyao asked.
"Huo Xiao and Lu Mingfeng are the ones the princess likes. Even if I dislike them, I am powerless to stop them."
Speaking of this.
Xu Mubai slowly raised his head, "Princess, have you ever truly loved someone?"
"I like them." Su Yunyao said without hesitation: "Huo Xiao, Lu Mingfeng, this princess likes them all."
"Princess, the liking you say is different from the liking I say. The liking you say may just mean that you feel that there is something about Huo Xiao and Lu Mingfeng that attracts you, but the liking I say is possession, the desire to have them all to myself. Just like I am attracted to the princess, my heart can no longer let go of any other woman. Even if that woman is extremely beautiful and has an angelic appearance, I would not even want to look at her for a second, because the princess has occupied my entire heart."
Su Yunyao listened to his words and slowly lowered her eyes.
He said that he liked her in a different way, and she understood.
Whether she likes Huo Xiao, Lu Mingfeng, Xu Mubai, or Xuan Qing, she just likes them.
And Xu Mubai's feelings for her are love.
But he didn't know that it is easy to like someone, but it is very difficult to love someone.
The fact that she could come into this world was already a miracle beyond common sense.
She didn't want to be bound by anyone's love, and she didn't want to leave herself with any ties.
She didn't know how long she would stay in this world, nor did she know whether the original owner would come back to life after he left.
She has taken the place of the original owner and has lived a life that does not belong to her. How could she possibly fall deeply in love with someone?
This body didn't belong to her originally.
"What do you mean by like or dislike? What do you mean by like or dislike? I'm almost confused by you."
Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows pretending to be relaxed.
"Alright, stop kneeling on the ground and get up to eat. Whether Dong Liao will marry into the alliance isn't just a matter of my backyard. It also involves the previous dynasty and the diplomatic relations between Dong Liao and Da Xia. If my brother accepts this marriage, the princess's mansion is so big, he can just arrange a remote courtyard for her. There's no rule that if I take a concubine, she must be on equal terms with him. There are so many women in my brother's harem who have been left out in the cold. I'm afraid that some of them he doesn't even know their names."
Xu Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Princess, what you said is quite true. However, as far as I know, the Third Prince of Dong Liao is not a legitimate child. Isn't it disrespectful for Dong Liao to give a bastard son to the princess?"
Su Yunyao snorted coldly. "I don't really care about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. After all, one's birth is not something one can decide. But I'm a germaphobe. I don't want a man who has been touched by another woman. He's a prince, and what a prince cares about most is offspring. I find it hard to believe that a prince of his age is still a virgin..."
Before Su Yunyao could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Mubai's violent cough.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand and patted him on the back twice: "Okay, what's wrong, Zhenzhu, pour me a glass of water."
Xu Mubai suppressed his cough and waved his hand, "Princess, I... cough... cough cough... I'm fine... cough cough... "
"You said you were fine, but your coughing broke your sentence into eight parts." Su Yunyao was speechless. "What did I just say to offend you? Why are you coughing like this...?"
