Chapter 319 Rejecting Chu Yang
The sight of the handsome man and beautiful woman standing together was enough to arouse people’s imagination, and Xu Wenyue then said these ambiguous words.
Everyone's curiosity became even stronger.
One by one, they stopped talking to the people around them, and stopped admiring the spring flowers in the garden. Instead, they stared intently at the young emperor and Xu Wenyue who were standing face to face not far away.
Some people were talking in low voices.
"What? Your Majesty has already given Miss Xu a white jade crystal bracelet?"
"I thought that His Majesty had not had any woman in these years. He must have some special hobby!"
"It turns out that he has long had his eyes on the second young lady of the Xu family and has been waiting for her to grow up. He is truly affectionate."
Although Xu Wenyue didn't hear these words, she looked at Dijiang with determination.
When she received the white jade crystal bracelet on her wrist, she saw that the bracelet was of good quality and priceless, so she deliberately inquired about the origin of the white jade crystal bracelet.
When she learned that the bracelet was left by Dijiang's mother to his future wife, she was a little depressed at first.
Because since she was a child, she has been casting a wide net in order to find a marriage according to her mother's advice.
All the young talents with potential and family background in the South are her targets.
During festivals, she would politely write a few letters and send them out to gain their favor and likes. Fortunately, after she reached the age of 15, she would not be so passive and could marry the best man.
And over the years, she did hook up with several gentlemen, including Di Jiang, and they had constant correspondence.
Her mother has been helping her weigh the pros and cons and decide which one to choose.
You can choose from a variety of options, the conditions are all similar.
In the end, Xu Wenyue decided to choose the one who was sincere to her.
However, the sincerity of those young masters from aristocratic families cannot compare to that of Di Jiang.
Because Dijiang could give her the priceless white jade crystal bracelet that his mother left for his future wife early on, but those young masters could not, they could only give her candied haws and say nice things to her.
Therefore, she had a deep memory of Dijiang.
She also understood that Dijiang was deeply in love with her.
But she didn't really want to marry Dijiang because of this. When she received the bracelet from Dijiang, she just accepted it without much expression.
Because she and her mother didn't think much of Dijiang many years ago. They felt that Dijiang was just a hostage and had a bleak future.
Who would have thought that it was this most inconspicuous hostage who, after returning to the Southern Kingdom, quickly ascended the throne to become an emperor and became a genius of his generation.
And she had been planning for her marriage since she was a child, and after much deliberation, the man she finally chose was the one she had once looked down upon.
Xu Wenyue lamented that fate played such a trick on her, but also lamented that there is always a way out, as the man who had shown such sincerity to her was sent to a high position and brought to her side.
As long as she expressed her feelings now, she could be with him.
She will be the empress soon.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
There was a faint smile on Xu Wenyue's lips.
Di Jiang looked at her smile, snorted disdainfully, and looked at the bracelet on Xu Wenyue's wrist, "This bracelet is indeed mine."
"It is also a gift from my late mother to my future wife." After Emperor Jiang ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of Empress Dowager Renhui on Concubine Cha, so at this moment he called her mother.
After hearing this, Xu Wenyue became even more excited.
It is true, that’s great.
She has a chance of becoming an empress.
Unexpectedly, Di Jiang said: "However, due to some reasons, I gave this bracelet to Chu Yang many years ago."
"Now that Chu Yang has given you the bracelet, it is a token of love from Chu Yang to you. If you want to marry, marry Chu Yang. I am willing to be the matchmaker."
Chu Yang: “…”
Your Majesty, you, you can't do this!
I don't want to marry this woman.
Xu Wenyue was also confused. How could this happen? How could the bracelet belong to Chuyang? The emperor wanted her to marry Chuyang?
What is Chu Yang? He is just a small follower of His Majesty, with no official rank and no family to rely on. He is not worthy of her at all.
Xu Wenyue wanted to take back what she had just said. If she couldn't marry His Majesty, she wouldn't marry. But her words were heard by many people around her, so it was really hard for her to take them back.
She was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
She was also afraid that if she could not marry His Majesty and bring benefits to the family, she would be dragged to the Dali Temple by her father to be punished.
In a panic, Xu Wenyue said, "Your Majesty, the person I have always admired is you. I have written you many letters. You have replied to them all."
I think as long as she tells His Majesty that she had private correspondence and private transactions with His Majesty, with so many people watching, His Majesty will definitely marry her for the sake of his reputation.
"Letter?" Di Jiang looked confused, "What letter? I have never received any letter from you."
"Letters from strangers are usually handled by Chu Yang."
"Your letter should have been delivered to Chu Yang."
"The letter you received was also replied by Chu Yang."
“…”Ah? How could this happen?
Xu Wenyue was struck by lightning.
She had been working hard for many years, and thought that fate would bless her and she would become a phoenix. But she didn't expect that it was all a misunderstanding.
In His Majesty's heart, she was just an outsider, and he didn't even bother to reply to her letters personally.
After hearing the whole story, the onlookers, apart from feeling sad that His Majesty always kept women at a distance, suddenly felt the urge to bring Xu Wenyue and Chu Yang together as a gentleman.
Several people of high status in the court spoke up one after another.
"Second Miss Xu, since you and Guard Chuyang are so destined to be together, why don't you marry Guard Chuyang?"
"Yes, Chuyang Guard is a talented person, and he is by your Majesty's side, so he has a bright future."
"If you marry him, you will have a good life."
Indeed, they had good days. Chu Yang in the book was not only Di Jiang's bodyguard, but also made great military achievements and was feared by the world during Di Jiang's unification of the world.
If Xu Wenyue really married him, when Chuyang became famous, she would be envied by all the women in the world.
But she didn't have such foresight. She refused with disdain, and ran away wiping her tears as if she was humiliated and ridiculed by everyone and had lost her dignity.
Di Jiang shook his head thoughtfully and said nothing. When Chu Yang was about to say something to him, he saw the familiar green figure again, not far from him.
It is so so familiar.
It has been engraved in his mind since childhood, bringing him light and beauty, warmth and hope.
The darkness, indifference, madness, resentment, hatred in his heart... were all soothed by that warmth.
It was also because of that figure that he felt love and tremendous power in his heart.
He worked hard to ascend to the throne just to keep that figure by his side.
When Di Jiang thought of this, he suddenly became confused and ran towards the figure anxiously.
Since he ascended the throne, he has not shown his emotions on his face and has become much calmer, but at this moment, he can't be calm.
