Chapter 134 The Princess Chooses Her Consort

A month passed in a flash, and Lin Shuhong finally did not propose to resign, and Lin Nuan did not force him any more.

After she came to her senses, her life became more comfortable and she was no longer in a hurry to go back. After all, she felt that it was okay to travel to ancient times with her boyfriend for the rest of her life, as long as she could live happily ever after.

Xiao Jingyan became busy. After all, in ancient times, people only had three days off for marriage. After the three-day holiday, Xiao Jingyan had to go to court again. However, after court, he would still find time to come back and have dinner with you two before going to the military camp.

I will try my best to come back in the evening to have dinner together. If I really can't come back, I will ask Fulai to go home and let us know.

That day, Lin Nuan was reading leisurely at home when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing at the door, followed by several servants.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my house and make a scene?" Lin Nuan asked.

"I'm a princess from a neighboring country, and I came here specifically to see Xiao Jingyan." said the woman.

Lin Nuan's heart tightened. Could this be the legendary love rival?

"He's not here. You can tell me if you have anything to say." Lin Nuan said calmly.

"Tell you? Who do you think you are?" The woman said disdainfully, "I want to see Xiao Jingyan, get out of the way!"

As she said this, the woman was about to rush in.

Lin Nuan quickly stopped her, "You can't go in!"

As the two of them pushed and shoved, Lin Nuan accidentally fell to the ground, scraping her palm and oozing blood.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Jingyan came back at some point. He helped Lin Nuan up and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Lin Nuan said.

"General Xiao, you're finally back." When the woman saw Xiao Jingyan, her expression immediately changed to a gentle one.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Xiao Jingyan said coldly.

"I am a princess from a neighboring country. I fell in love with General Xiao at first sight and came here specially to visit him." The woman said with a smile.

"I already have a wife, please leave my house. Since you are a princess from a neighboring country, I can ignore you for breaking into my house today, but you hurt my wife, and I hope you can give me an explanation." Xiao Jingyan said, taking Lin Nuan's hand and walking into the house.

"Explanation? I'm the princess of a neighboring country, how can you talk to me like that? Today in the hall of the imperial palace, your emperor said in front of all your officials that I can pick any marriage partner. Today I just came to inform you that I like you, and I want you to write a letter of divorce to this woman immediately, divorce her and then marry me." The woman widened her eyes and said arrogantly.

"The emperor said that you can choose your husband at will, but he didn't say that you can just snatch someone else's husband. I will only marry one wife in my life. I will not take concubines or even wives. Even if the emperor comes in person, I will answer the same way. So, princess, it's better for you to choose someone else." Xiao Jingyan protected Lin Nuan behind him and looked at the woman with a firm gaze.

The woman was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Lin Nuan and said, "Okay, just wait, I won't let you go!" After that, she left angrily with her servants.

Xiao Jingyan turned around, looked at Lin Nuan's injured hand, and said distressedly: "Does it hurt?"

Lin Nuan nodded, "It hurts."

Without waiting for Xiao Jingyan's instructions, Chunmei had already brought the medicine.

Xiao Jingyan personally helped Lin Nuan apply medicine and also explained the origins of the princess who came today.

The princess of the neighboring country was named Qin Mengxue. She was from the country that Xiao Jingyan had defeated before - Qing. She was the only princess of Qing. She disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield. She was defeated by Xiao Jingyan and fell in love with him.

After the defeat of the Qing Kingdom, it had to pay tribute to Daxia every year, so Qin Mengxue came along.

After arriving, she proposed a marriage between the two countries to the Emperor of Daxia, and she wanted to choose her husband herself. The emperor agreed on the spot.

So now many children of noble families are avoiding Qin Mengxue, because if they are favored by her, they need to go to Qing Kingdom with her, which is equivalent to marrying into her family's family.

What was unexpected was that Qin Mengxue's target was actually Xiao Jingyan.

Lin Nuan was a little worried. "The emperor has promised her that she can choose her own husband. Now her target is you. If she complains about you to the emperor, there's no guarantee that the emperor won't take advantage of the situation."

Xiao Jingyan reached out and smoothed Lin Nuan's frown, "Aren't you worried that the emperor will let us divorce and let me marry Qin Mengxue?"

"If he wasn't a fool, he wouldn't have let you marry Qin Mengxue. You are the general of Zhenyuan, a good fighter. Which smart emperor would send helpers to his enemies? If the emperor is so confused, the two of us will go and kill him. If we can't kill him, we will both commit suicide. At worst, we can start over. If he doesn't let us live a good life, I won't let him live a good life either." Lin Nuan said without any worry.

"Don't worry, I won't let this happen." Xiao Jingyan held Lin Nuan's hand tightly, "However, you should try to go out less during this period. I'm afraid she will retaliate against you. We have finally come to this day, and it won't be long before we can complete the mission. We can't fail because of this."

Lin Nuan nodded, "I understand. I will be careful. You should be careful too."

After leaving the general's mansion, Qin Mengxue went straight to the palace and told the emperor that she had fallen in love with Xiao Jingyan and asked the emperor to order Xiao Jingyan to divorce his wife.

Fortunately, the emperor was not a fool. He was suspicious and fearful in his heart, but those were internal affairs of their country. It was impossible for him to push talents to the enemy country. Even if Qing Kingdom surrendered now, it would only be temporary.

Emperors have always been suspicious. The emperor did not believe that Qin Mengxue fell in love with Xiao Jingyan at first sight. I think that she wanted to use Xiao Jingyan for her own benefit and make him a sword in the hands of Qing Kingdom. In the future, she might become an enemy of Daxia Kingdom.

The emperor looked at Qin Mengxue who was kneeling there asking for marriage, and smiled as he asked the eunuch to help her up.

"I did promise the princess that she could choose any good man from our Xia country, but I did not promise the princess to break up other people's marriages. General Xiao and his wife are deeply in love, and Madam Xiao is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister of our Xia country. She is not a country woman who can be divorced just by saying so.

They are my personal marriage partners. I think it would be better for the princess to choose someone else. I have many other good men. The princess can take some time to choose. "

"No, I just like Xiao Jingyan, and I only want him to be my prince consort. As the emperor, you should keep your word. You promised me that I can choose any husband I want, so how can you go back on your word now?" Qin Mengxue said stubbornly.

When the emperor heard that Qin Mengxue insisted on her own way and even offended him with words, his face turned ugly and he looked intimidating without even being angry.

"I never promised you to choose a married man from my dynasty."
