CHAPTER 101 - ARROGANT AND DESPOTIC

Rong Qianyu was still thinking about how to deal with Shen Yan, she did not know that someone wanted to marry Xiao Wenliang, but compared to Shen Yan, this person could be considered as someone with status and position, if one were to seriously think about it, it would be a headache to deal with him. Rong Qianyu had just lost something important, and he was feeling extremely upset, but for Xiao Wenliang, she had chosen to bear with it, what else could he do?

For the sake of the one she loved, even if she had to suffer a little, she would do so willingly. Moreover, it was Xiao Wenliang who was the most important person to her, so even if he had to hurt her because of Shen Yan, she would have to endure for now.

She was very satisfied with her current state, she was not at all grateful that Rong Qianyu had brought this medicine over, she felt that it was something that she should have. Rong Qianyu's deep feelings towards Xiao Wenliang allowed her to see that Xiao Wenliang had taken advantage of her, if he had used such good methods, she would not expend too much energy on it. Naturally, she would do such a good thing, and after previously exhausting so much effort, she had ended up provoking a stench all over her body, and in the end, even Xiao Wenliang suspected her.

She wanted to go to the Tingxue Residence to show off. This made Rong Qianyu feel uncomfortable, and Shen Yan wasn't sure if he knew where the Chi Yuan Dan was used for, but she didn't want to ask Xiao Wenliang about this matter, nor did she want to ask him about it. Every time she thought of Rong Qianyu, she would feel guilty about him giving away such a precious medicine, and what Shen Yan said earlier was what Shen Yan had figured out, but she didn't say anything either.

Rong Qianyu had status and talent, but when Shen Yan faced his, she was never very confident … Although she was currently enjoying Xiao Wenliang's care, this was still incomparable to Rong Qianyu's. This was already enough for her to show off.

But only Shen Yan knew what was going on. The person in her heart was not her, Shen Yan knew that she had stolen all the things she was enjoying. Shen Yan didn't want to lose Xiao Wenliang's favor. Without Xiao Wenliang's care and attention, she wouldn't amount to anything in the Xiao Nation, and wouldn't even bother to buy things from her …

Xiao Wenliang loved and protected her. Shen Yan clearly knew that it was a misunderstanding, but she was enjoying it. She was also worried that Xiao Wenliang would find out that she was lying to him one day, so Shen Yan had already done some things.

Shen Yan had always been focusing on how to deal with Rong Qianyu, so she had always felt that it was Rong Qianyu that had prevented her from being an imperial concubine, while Rong Qianyu was a thorn in her side.

If Liu Ruyue came to Xiao Wenliang's side, Shen Yan's life would definitely not be as good as it was now. Liu Ruyue did not have Rong Qianyu's self-control, she would definitely not do what she wanted to do, even if it would be difficult for her to do it in the future. Shen Yan did not know about this, so no one could predict what would happen next.

Shen Yan came to the Tingxue Residence in the name of thanking Rong Qianyu, and when she came, he even prepared many things in grandeur, which made people think that it was because Shen Yan was grateful to him that she had done such a great deed.

Seeing Shen Yan like this, she did not want to say anything, she was extremely pleased with Shen Yan, she had only seen how proud she was, if she were to argue with him, she would not be able to do it, she initially wanted to look him in the eye without feeling annoyed, but this time, she could not take it anymore, and could only barely take on Shen Yan.

I heard that you are very sick. Now that you aren't resting properly, you came to the Tingxue Residence. Do you still want to deal with me like last time? Adding on the last time she hurt Su Zhu, this was the first time they had met each other. Before this, Rong Qianyu had always looked down upon Shen Yan, and if not for him, she would not even place him in her eyes.

Shen Yan had already thought about it before she came here, she was only looking for Rong Qianyu to show off, it was just to provoke him, she was originally planning to do well this time, it was just that Rong Qianyu was in a bad mood at the start, since she had gotten a big bargain, she naturally had to endure this, Rong Qianyu felt that it wasn't a big deal, the more Rong Qianyu treated her poorly, the more she lost out on her, the more Rong Qianyu tried to deal with her with her using the blade previously, in her dreams. Shen Yan had dreamed of doing this a few times, but all of these things couldn't stop her from wanting to take revenge on Rong Qianyu.

Everyone knows what happened last time. If you insist on knowing that I was the one who framed you, then please give me evidence to prove it, or else my good intentions will be questioned. If I tell you, then you will feel sorry for me. Shen Yan had mentioned Xiao Wenliang at the beginning, this was a warning to Rong Qianyu that the person backing her was Xiao Wenliang.

Shen Yan had some hidden meaning behind her words, Rong Qianyu understood that he really didn't want to bother with her attitude. She was just such a shameless person, if she didn't take him for granted, she would actually come knocking on her door, and if he got lucky, people would not know, it would be Rong Qianyu's first time dealing with such a shameless person, so other people wouldn't act as shamelessly as Shen Yan.

Rong Qianyu understood in her heart, but she did not want to face Shen Yan in a confrontation. Normally, in this kind of situation, with Xiao Wenliang protecting his, she would always suffer losses, and suffer losses more often. Rong Qianyu also understood in her heart that she did not want to face Shen Yan head on, because he suffered more each time.

What you have done, you know best. What are you planning to do by coming here? Rong Qianyu did not think that Shen Yan had come here just to chat with her, they had never spoken in common and everyone looked at each other with displeasure. Rong Qianyu did not tolerate him being together with Shen Yan at all, if she had not restrained herself well, she would have already let people chase Shen Yan away in anger.

Princess, why are you so angry? I've come here to scheme against you. I've come here to thank you. Shen Yan knew that Rong Qianyu's attitude towards her was already considered good. If he was Rong Qianyu, she wouldn't be able to have such good self-control.

But the better Rong Qianyu was, the more Shen Yan wanted to bully her, and who told Xiao Wenliang to spoil her, and even bring her the Rong Guo's most precious treasure? Right now, she was about to do something too excessive and Xiao Wenliang was going to bear the burden for her.

Rong Qianyu did not dare to do anything to her, which was why he was so daring. Although he had memorized the lesson last time, it was still not the greatest shock to her. Shen Yan understood that Rong Qianyu would never make a move on her again, unless she did something even more outrageous.

After the previous lesson, Shen Yan could be considered to have understood Rong Qianyu's bottom line. Shen Yan did not dare to offend Rong Qianyu again, and thus, she could be considered to have received her lesson …

I don't need you to thank me. As long as you don't think too much of people, and don't do anything shameful in the future, I'll take care of your duty … Rong Qianyu snorted coldly. Facing such a shameless person like Shen Yan, if she didn't say it out loud, Shen Yan would pretend to be ignorant towards her.

Shen Yan didn't feel awkward, but of course, Shen Yan wouldn't feel awkward either. But she didn't want to continue to confront Rong Qianyu like this, so she had to pretend to be the weaker party, and Rong Qianyu didn't even let her in the door, so much that it was inconvenient for them to say out in front of everyone.

Since wangfei said so, I don't understand anymore. I don't know what wangfei's scheme is … Shen Yan continued to pretend to be confused.

If the Royal Concubine said that I had schemed against the Rong Guo's most precious treasure, the Chi Yuan Dan, I would know about this matter. However, since the Duke had helped me get the medicine, I finally understand what was going on inside. Shen Yan said with a smile. She pretended to be weak and her face was full of gratitude towards Rong Qianyu, which made it hard for Rong Qianyu to hide, and this made her feel extremely grateful towards him, which made it impossible for her to say when she needed Shen Yan's gratitude. She could give away such a good thing for Shen Yan's sake, not because she wanted to make things difficult for him.

Even after she had settled Shen Yan's matter later, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Now that Shen Yan had stepped out to scold her, Rong Qianyu felt that she had reached her limits to endure.

No matter what wangfei says, I still have to thank wangfei for requesting medicine for me. I know very well the value of Chi Yuan Dan. After taking the medicine, I feel especially well. I believe it won't be long before I recover to my best condition … Shen Yan's face was filled with satisfaction, she knew that Rong Qianyu was currently very angry, and had done this on purpose, just to make Rong Qianyu lose control of his temper. If Rong Qianyu was angry at her, then everyone around would see that, Shen Yan had come today to thank them, and if Rong Qianyu did not have that kind of attitude, then it would be underestimating him.

"Since you've taken the medicine, let's go back and have a good rest. I don't need your thanks, and this medicine was not requested for you in the first place. You should know in your heart that I don't have that much time to waste with you. She did not try to conceal her disgust towards Shen Yan at all. After Rong Qianyu had explained everything to her clearly, she knew that Shen Yan was shameless. If she continued to waste time with him, Rong Qianyu would feel that it was not worth it.

Even if wangfei doesn't want to, I still have to be polite. No matter who she's asking for medicine for, I'm still grateful that it's been used on me … Shen Yan looked at Rong Qianyu and said seriously, If the wangfei hadn't asked for this medicine, I could have relied on your efforts to get it. But I know that if the wangfei's speed wasn't as fast as mine, the prince would probably be too worried, so when I came to you asking this, I hope the wangfei would be able to understand your feelings … What Shen Yan meant was that Xiao Wenliang cared about her so much that he did not hesitate to request Rong Qianyu's help …

CHAPTER 102 - SHAMELESS

When Qingyu saw Shen Yan being so thick-skinned, she was actually speechless. Previously, she didn't know the truth of this matter, but now that he knew that everything Shen Yan was enjoying was originally stolen from the wangfei's place, he could only gawk at him. The prince had been deceived by Shen Yan, but Shen Yan actually accepted it without any shame.

Rong Qianyu, ... She had already known that Shen Yan was shameless to begin with, but she had openly and secretly said that he didn't welcome him, but Shen Yan pretended that nothing had happened.

The princess has already said it, where did you come from and where did you come from? This is a matter between the prince and the princess, the prince has already come here to thank you, our princess came here because of the prince, it doesn't matter if you use the medicine on others or not, the princess originally didn't care too much … If I care about it, I won't come forward and ask for medicine. " Su Zhu was unwilling to see Shen Yan's arrogant face. She had clearly obtained benefits, but she still had to stab someone in the heart, and that was something only Shen Yan was able to do. If it was someone else, they would not be so unlucky right now.

Shen Yan looked at Su Zhu. Previously, she had wanted to kill Su Zhu, but in the end, she gave up on that idea.

Shen Yan inadvertently glanced at Su Zhu's fingers. When she had attacked Su Zhu before, she wasn't afraid at all, she always felt that for someone like Su Zhu who didn't have eyes for others, this was the outcome. This was what she had to do for a monkey, who would have thought that Su Zhu's position in her heart was so important … It was so important that Rong Qianyu actually thought of risking her life to seek revenge on Su Zhu … This was something that she could take advantage of, but she did not want to risk it. If Xiao Wenliang did not rush over in time, Shen Yan really did not know what was waiting for her.

Every time he thought about it, Shen Yan would always feel fear. Although she was brave, it was all because of the premise of her being able to keep herself alive.

When Shen Yan saw Qingyu here, she shot her a glance filled with ill intentions. She still remembered Qingyu's betrayal, it was a huge loss to Rong Qianyu because she had remembered it in her heart, and this time, she did not have the time to find Qingyu, but this did not mean that she had forgotten about this matter. Rong Qianyu had protected Qingyu very well, but Shen Yan knew that as long as she wanted to scheme against his, she would definitely have the chance to make a move. Now that he had Xiao Wenliang to protect her, she could use a lot of people. Shen Yan just couldn't free herself and wanted to wait for a chance to deal with Qingyu.

Shen Yan wanted to let others know what would happen if he betrayed her, so the matter of Qingyu was far, far behind her heart.

She was very familiar with Shen Yan's ways of doing things. If Shen Yan wanted to find someone to take advantage of her, she didn't have any advantage, even if the Royal Concubine protected her, she might not be able to escape Shen Yan's schemes.

Ever since Qingyu had told her about Shen Yan poisoning the wangfei, she knew that Shen Yan would definitely find her … However, Qingyu wasn't so afraid of Shen Yan anymore. She already knew that everything that Shen Yan had calculated was something that she had deceived and obtained. As long as the Duke knew Shen Yan's true appearance, Shen Yan wouldn't benefit from it …

Shen Yan did not have the mood to bother with Qing Yu right now, but she also did not want Qing Yu to live such a comfortable life.

She looked at Rong Qianyu and said with a smile, Esteemed wangfei, you still have to think about it carefully, this isn't something that anyone can use, especially a servant who betrayed his master. If you use this servant, you will have to think about whether this person would betray your master again soon, after all, I've already done this kind of thing conveniently …

Qingyu: … He knew that Shen Yan was a thorn in her side, and he knew that she was now a thorn in his side, and Shen Yan was her previous master. But Qingyu had never wanted to admit this, with such a vicious master, her life before was not any better, and now that she had finally crawled out of the quagmire, she was rejoicing, because many people did not know Shen Yan's true face, and even looked down on her, but Qingyu knew that everyone would know Shen Yan's true face in the future … Qingyu had never doubted this. After all, she had done too many bad things. How could she be so lucky every time …

Rong Qianyu slowly said: This is my problem. I will also give you a word of advice, do your best to not keep staring at others and take care of your own matters. Since Rong Qianyu let Qingyu come to the Tingxue Residence, then she naturally had to believe in Qingyu's character. Rong Qianyu had always been protective of the weak, and even more so, did not want to hear any sort of nonsense from Shen Yan.

Rong Qianyu looked at the things that Shen Yan had brought back, and it was all in response to her. Rong Qianyu did not want to bother with Shen Yan, if it was before, she would have let Su Zhu handle this matter, but the last time, Shen Yan had dealt so much damage to Su Zhu, if he was to face Shen Yan now, Rong Qianyu would probably be injured by Shen Yan once again. No matter if it was physically or mentally, she did not want Su Zhu to deal with someone like Shen Yan.

If it was Lucky, she would always be very impulsive when doing things, and Rong Qianyu didn't want the mama here to be angry at him. Rong Qianyu didn't want a small matter like this to cause a conflict, and Shen Yan might have planned it this way, she was afraid that the disturbance she made would be too small, but Rong Qianyu didn't want to face off against him at this moment. The matter of her giving up the Chi Yuan Dan made Xiao Wenliang feel bad for him, and in addition to the matter of Shen Yan poisoning her previously, she clearly knew that this was Qingyu that Shen Yan had ordered her to do so.

Shen Yan was actually so thick-skinned. However, Rong Qianyu also understood her style of doing things.

However, if she were to leave now, Shen Yan felt that he had suffered a huge loss. There were some hidden meanings in Rong Qianyu's words, and she had been ridiculed many times, and if she returned with her head full of dirt and dirt, she would not be satisfied. Now that she came here to thank Rong Qianyu for her help, if Xiao Wenliang knew about this, it would definitely improve his bad impression of her.

Shen Yan smiled and said: These things were all given to me by the best prince I've chosen … Shen Yan pointed out that these things were all gifted to her by Xiao Wenliang, and this was also a way to stimulate Rong Qianyu, These are my good intentions. I know that the Royal Concubine has seen many good things, but the gift that the Prince gave me was not bad, and I also picked the best one, which is enough to express my gratitude towards the Princess.

Now, she came here while Xiao Wenliang was not in the manor. If Xiao Wenliang rushed back, she knew that he would not be able to earn too much, and as for the price that Xiao Wenliang had to pay, he had to know that although Rong Qianyu would definitely understand what Xiao Wenliang had to pay. Although Rong Qianyu would agree, he felt that with her understanding of Rong Qianyu, it would definitely not be a simple matter.

Take away all your things, I don't care about these things. What is valuable in your eyes is nothing at all. Rong Qianyu had her own pride. If she wanted something, she could get it herself, and what's more, these things were all given to her by Xiao Wenliang. She felt uncomfortable looking at these things.

What Rong Qianyu didn't want the most right now was Shen Yan's so-called thanks. That way, she would feel that what he had done was cheap.

She was helping Xiao Wenliang, not Shen Yan.

Previously, when Xiao Wenliang ran away so quickly for Shen Yan, Rong Qianyu felt very uncomfortable, but more of it was because he felt heartache for Rong Qianyu … If not for Xiao Wenliang, she would not have done so many things …

She no longer wanted to be curious about Rong Qianyu's current attitude towards him. If Xiao Wenliang really came to look for her because of what grievances she had suffered in Tingxue Residence today, she would talk about the things that happened previously with him and ask Xiao Wenliang for an explanation for the poison she had been poisoned with. She wanted to let Xiao Wenliang know what kind of explanation Xiao Wenliang had given to Shen Yan.

It was not that she did not have any witness or evidence, it was just that if Rong Qianyu really wanted to deal with her, this Shen Yan was scheming against her life. If she pursued the topic, even with Xiao Wenliang's protection, she did not have the ability to escape, and being strong meant that Shen Yan had to pay a price with his life. It was just that she did not care about Xiao Wenliang at all, and what she cared about was Xiao Wenliang.

This time, Shen Yan did not obtain anything, but had flaunted it to Rong Qianyu by the Tingxue Residence, in her heart, she was still very satisfied. Rong Qianyu now knew how precious the Chi Yuan Dan was, and using the Rong Guo's imperial treasure on her, Shen Yan felt that it was already a success if she did not do anything.

Looking at her today, Shen Yan could understand that although Rong Qianyu had been suppressing his emotions all along, how could Rong Qianyu not be angry? He was obviously very angry, but Shen Yan was happy in his heart, even though Rong Qianyu had made her lose a lot of face, she already had no time to care about these things. He just wanted to calculate what to do next with Rong Qianyu, like how he would not need to put in a lot of effort this time, and how he would even receive such a huge advantage from him.

Shen Yan wholeheartedly wanted to scheme against Rong Qianyu. She still did not know that she was about to face a strong opponent, and that was not something she could control. Even Xiao Wenliang had to be courteous to her as well.

In the future, when she fought Liu Ruyue, she would suffer a lot because she underestimated her opponent.

CHAPTER 103 - IT'S HARD TO BUY WITH A LOT OF MONEY, SO I'D LOVE TO

Even though she was just helping Xiao Wenliang, she had always been very confident in herself. Even though she was a little late, she could do whatever she wanted in the future, and she had the ability and plan. If Xiao Wenliang liked her, she could do whatever she wanted, but she could not see the position of an imperial concubine in Liu Ruyue's eyes.

He could only compromise with Liu Ruyue because he knew that Liu Ruyue was not just trying to scare him. If he did not agree to her request, perhaps due to Liu Ruyue's personality, she would really do something that would make Liu Ruyue angry. Compared to letting Liu Ruyue go, if she married Xiao Wenliang and became a lateral consort, it would not be that easy for him to accept it.

After thinking over and over again for several days, finally, he gave in to Liu Ruyue and said in a deep voice: "Since you've already decided, I don't want to say anything more. If you suffer any grievances in the future, you are the one who asked for it. Liu Jing and Liu Ruyue were still dissatisfied in their hearts. Towards Liu Ruyue, he did not have any good attitude …

Although he had promised Liu Ruyue, Liu Xiang still could not accept reality. Right now, even if Liu Ruyue did not marry Xiao Wenliang, it would be impossible for her to do so, so Liu Xiang could only turn a blind eye …

Liu Ruyue understood Liu Xiang's temperament very well, she smiled and said: If I do not do this small thing well, I will not dare to come and see father. Father can be at ease, if my daughter marries Xiao Wenliang, she will definitely lead a good life. Liu Ruyue knew it wasn't easy for Liu Xiang to compromise. Although he was saying this right now and speaking with such a tough tone, but if something were to happen to her in the future and she needed his help, Liu Ruyue knew that he would not refuse.

Liu Ruyue did not want to lose face for Liu Xiang, if possible, she also wanted to marry someone better. But her heart is with Xiao Wenliang, even if she wanted to marry the crown prince, she would not be willing.

Since Liu Xiang had already agreed, he did not want Liu Ruyue to suffer any grievances. If the emperor could propose marriage to Liu Ruyue, it would raise her status, and the emperor would still give him some face. Although Liu Xiang was not satisfied with Liu Ruyue's decision, but towards this daughter of his, Liu Xiang could not be as hard as iron.

Father, can you help me to the end? If the emperor gives us a marriage, for my daughter, even as a lateral consort, the wangfei won't dare to touch me … If she could get the emperor to propose the marriage for her, Liu Ruyue felt that she wouldn't have the title of wangfei, but she could still do it in a very stylish manner. Liu Ruyue wanted to give herself a chance, and she knew that Liu Xiang doted on her, and even if she made such a request now, Liu Xiang would definitely not agree to it.

Now you know that being a lateral consort is beneath you. If you were a wangfei and a prince's consort, you wouldn't need to do all these things. You don't need to think about all these things … Liu Jing knew what Liu Ruyue was thinking, but since he had already agreed to it, he could not say any words of rejection. At most, he could only grumble on the surface, not to mention that he had already considered the marriage proposal in his heart … If it was possible, he wanted the Emperor to grant Liu Ruyue a marriage. This would unconsciously raise her status.

Since Liu Ruyue was determined to marry Xiao Wenliang, Liu Xiang could only helplessly accept this reality.

Since Liu Ru Yue was happy to do it, it is useless for him to stop her. Liu Xiang may have felt that it was a pity for Liu Ruyue, but he always felt that she could have a more respectable life, and since this was a decision made by Liu Ru Yue, he could only accept it helplessly. Originally, Liu Xiang did not expect his daughter to come and bring honor to his ancestors, otherwise, he would not have agreed to Liu Ru Yue's request so easily.

I will raise this request with the emperor regarding the bestowment of marriage. Since you can think of this step, it doesn't seem that you're muddle-headed. Only, this intelligence still hasn't been used in the right place … Liu Ruyue was very satisfied with Liu Ruyue before, but she was very disappointed now. In Liu Xiang's eyes, although Xiao Wenliang was not bad, in his entire life, he was only a prince, he would never ask for that position, Liu Ruyue clearly had a better choice, and still chose Xiao Wenliang in the end. In order to marry Xiao Wenliang, she actually threatened him, and during this period of time, Liu Xiang felt that it was too difficult for him to be angry at Liu Ruyue, but now that he thought of Xiao Wenliang, he felt like his anger was not coming out …

I'll think of a way to give you the right to get married. You've been very honest recently. Liu Xiang had always been the most careful when it came to doing things. If Liu Ruyue were to marry a prince, it would probably be even more troublesome than this, but if she were to marry Xiao Wenliang, the emperor might not suspect her at all, and this way, the emperor would be able to trust him even more. Liu Xiang felt that if he did everything well this time, it might actually be a good thing.

Since Liu Ruyue liked Xiao Wenliang, he couldn't stop his, he could only help her accomplish her goal. Liu Ruyue saw that Liu Xiang had promised her a favor, and with Liu Xiang's help, her plans went smoothly, and Liu Xiang was the emperor's favorite, if he made an unreasonable request, the emperor would give Liu Ruyue face. Liu Ru Yue felt that if she were to miss the opportunity to marry Xiao Wenliang, then he and Xiao Wenliang would have no fate in his life …

Liu Ruyue was a stubborn person, if she was determined, no one would be able to stop her. Since she had an idea about marrying Xiao Wenliang, then she would start preparing for the future.

Although the current Emperor has yet to pass down the decree to bestow a marriage, but normally no mistakes would occur in this matter. Liu Ruyue had people inquire about the matters of Xiao Wenliang's residence, and knew herself and her opponent, and this was something that she could do. To Liu Ruyue, she was already a step too late, so she had to plan ahead of time for what she was going to do next. Her feelings for Xiao Wenliang made her unafraid of the future, and as long as she could be together with Xiao Wenliang, she could accept the grievances she would suffer.

If the emperor took the initiative to ask him about it, it would be a good thing for him. If he brought it up, it would be like Liu Ruyue rushing to be Xiao Wenliang's concubine, even if it would be the lateral consort's concubine, and this title would only be nice to say. Thinking about it, Liu Xiang still felt that it was shameful, especially since the gap between Liu Ruyue and his imagination was too big, and he himself could not accept this kind of thing. Even if he accepted it reluctantly, he wouldn't feel good in his heart.

Liu Xiang himself felt that his loss this time was too great. Previously, he had a good impression of the Virtuous King, but now, because of Xiao Wenliang, he had a strong opinion of his son. He felt that it was Xiao Wenliang who had seduced Liu Ruyue, otherwise, how could Liu Ruyue have such deep feelings for Xiao Wenliang. He had interrogated the people around Liu Ruyue, but in the end, he did not manage to obtain any answers …

The emperor looked at Liu Xiang's troubled face and knew that he had something he wanted to tell him. What is it, Liu Xiang? It's rare to see you in such a state of hesitation before. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll see if I can help you. The emperor still trusted Liu Xiang. The key point was that Liu Xiang's ability was outstanding and was his right-hand man. The emperor's attitude towards Liu Xiang was not bad and that was because Liu Xiang was a sensible man.

Liu Xiang said in a deep voice: This is really embarrassing, this subject's youngest daughter likes Prince Xiao of Prince Xian's son, and this subject only recently found out about this matter so I had to give up on my daughter's idea. But in the end, I still failed, Prince Xiao already married and this subject doesn't want to disappoint his own daughter, but that child was too disappointing … He didn't want to say too many words at this time because he had always been a person with good face. Now that he had said all of this, the emperor would understand that this was the limit of Liu Xiang and he wanted the emperor to grant him a marriage. But these words the emperor had said to him on his own accord had done all of his and Liu Ruyue's face, and this was also one of Liu Xiang's strategies …

The Emperor now understood why Liu Xiang was in such a difficult situation. This was not a big deal in the first place, he could give the daughter of Liu Xiang a marriage and give her an identity.

So it turns out that your love fell for gentleness, this matter is very normal, Wen Liang's ability is very good, especially amongst the younger generation, even I admire his style of doing things, since I can grant them marriage and make it a grievance for her to make Wen Liang the lateral consort, but first come first served, the gentle Chief Consort is the's direct princess, this is something that cannot be changed, you must understand and understand …

If Liu Xiang wanted his daughter to marry the prince, it would be difficult for him to do so. At that time, he would definitely alienate Liu Xiang, but with Liu Xiang's ability here, the emperor could not leave him. Since the emperor thought this matter was beneficial to him, since Liu Xiang was so understanding, this matter would not be difficult for him to accomplish … The key was what kind of attitude Xiao Wenliang had now, and the emperor didn't want to directly grant him the marriage. He wanted to first ask for Xiao Wenliang's opinion, and this was also due to him attaching importance to Xiao Wenliang.

CHAPTER 104 - I LIKE TO SEE IT HAPPEN

Since this matter had been reported to the Emperor, the next step would be for them to wait for the marriage, which would be certain. Liu Xiang knew that the Emperor valued Xiao Wenliang greatly, and this matter would definitely let Xiao Wenliang know, that Xiao Wenliang was especially taken care of by the Emperor, Liu Xiang regretted that he did not care about Liu Ru Yue's marriage, if not, with Liu Ruyue's status, she could directly do it, why would he do it himself?

Rong Qianyu was the direct princess of Rong Guo, and Xiao Wenliang's Chief Consort was related to both countries. Even though Liu Xiang had his own plans, he had no choice but to stop himself from thinking about Rong Guo. No matter how bold he was, he did not dare to cause trouble between the two countries, not to mention that Liu Xiang had always been the most meticulous.

The reason why Liu Xiang agreed to this matter was because of various considerations. In conclusion, the matter of Liu Ruyue marrying Xiao Wenliang to become lateral consort could also bring him benefits, which he was very clear about.

Looking at the attitude of the emperor, he knew that this matter should not be too big of a problem. Now that he had returned, it was only for a few days, how could Xiao Wenliang reject such a good matter? Liu Xiang never thought that Xiao Wenliang would be dissatisfied with the marriage offer, in his heart, Liu Xiang thought that his daughter was the best, but if she married Xiao Wenliang and became the lateral consort, it would be a great grievance, but Xiao Wenliang did not think this way in his heart … Not only did he not think this way, ever since Xiao Wenliang married Rong Qianyu, he had always hated being forced to do things. Although he knew in his heart that he could not avoid some of his responsibilities, knowing was one thing, and really not being fussy was another …

However, at the time, he simply could not control his emotions. Now that Xiao Wenliang had gotten to know him better, he did not want to let down Shen Yan, but because he did not want to let him down, although he had a good impression of Rong Qianyu, and Xiao Wenliang did not want him to take another step forward, he had always kept the things that he had promised Shen Yan in his heart and Xiao Wenliang had always kept his promises.

The emperor had sent someone to invite Xiao Wenliang. With regards to Xiao Wenliang, the emperor had great trust in him and knew that Xiao Wenliang was considered to be the most outstanding amongst the young generation of the imperial family. The emperor had high hopes for Xiao Wenliang, and hoped that he would be able to support the crown prince in the future.

However, it was hard for a hero to pass the trial of beauty, and Liu Xiang's daughter was also a rare beauty.

Previously, when Xiao Wenliang rejected the marriage, and in the end, even though it was also the marriage alliance with the Rong Guo, the Emperor knew that Xiao Wenliang didn't like the's direct daughter, and thus, he wanted to marry her. Every time the Emperor thought about Xiao Wenliang, he would feel that it was unfair to him, and this time he hoped to make some compensation to Xiao Wenliang.

Xiao Wenliang never thought that the Emperor would actually tell him such things, he never thought that he would be able to marry the lateral consort. Now, because of the matter with Shen Yan, he finally had a chance to take a breather, and now, what was waiting for him was such a thorny matter. Xiao Wenliang had already promised to give it to Shen Yan, he wouldn't have anyone else, and even if he married Rong Qianyu in the end, he would always keep his distance from his.

Since the emperor was able to come and question him, it was clear that the emperor had not passed down his decree yet. Xiao Wenliang slowly said, This subject has already gotten married. I don't want to marry any more lateral consort s right now … Xiao Wenliang had not solved Rong Qianyu's problem yet, if there was another daughter of Liu Xiang, he would be in a difficult position. Liu Xiang's daughter status was also not ordinary, if he married her, what would happen?

How was he going to explain to Shen Yan about this matter? Originally, Xiao Wenliang had already felt that he had let Shen Yan down.

He didn't want to repeat such actions again, even if Xiao Wenliang's opinion of him had changed. His impression of Rong Qianyu had also become better and better, but Xiao Wenliang didn't want to marry lateral consort, the more women the better. Now that Xiao Wenliang knew, the more women the more troublesome it was.

The Emperor saw Xiao Wenliang's attitude in his eyes, but the Emperor did not understand what Xiao Wenliang was thinking. A duke could marry three lateral consort, and Xiao Wenliang could marry Liu Ruyue now.

Marrying the daughter of Liu Xiang, you are not at a disadvantage at all. What exactly do you think? The Emperor did not understand why Xiao Wenliang would reject him. This was obviously abnormal.

This subject doesn't like that woman. It's enough for the prince's mansion to have an imperial concubine. Xiao Wenliang could only say this, making the emperor think that his feelings towards Rong Qianyu were already very deep, and that he didn't want to marry any more lateral consort to threaten Rong Qianyu's position …

I don't know if you're still infatuated. He clearly remembered that Xiao Wenliang's feelings for Rong Qianyu had actually reached such a deep level that the emperor was suspicious of him, but he believed that Xiao Wenliang was not lying to the emperor yet. Although the emperor had not made a clear decree on this matter, he had already agreed to it, and he thought that this matter was a foregone conclusion, but now, the emperor was in a difficult position, and his face was a little unsightly.

Initially, he thought that it was just a small matter. He didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Xiao Wenliang's attitude was very firm, he did not want to make Shen Yan uncomfortable, so he could only reject him now, since Shen Yan's body would not recover easily. Xiao Wenliang had always placed Shen Yan's matter on his heart, so whenever there was a possibility of something bad happening to Shen Yan, he would not think about it.

Xiao Wenliang being emotional was not a good thing, of course it would save the emperor a lot of effort. Although giving out the decree to Xiao Wenliang was simple, the emperor still attached great importance to him, and did not want Xiao Wenliang to feel bad about it, so the previous time they made a marriage agreement, the emperor would not want to ask Xiao Wenliang for his opinion. Xiao Wenliang's attitude towards the marriage was clear, but the emperor already had an idea in his mind, and he had asked the prince to be a guest. In the end, the emperor decided not to hold back much longer in preparation for Xiao Wenliang's wedding.

This time, the Emperor still cared a lot about Xiao Wenliang marrying the lateral consort. After all, the other party was the daughter of Liu Xiang.

Hopefully Xiao Wenliang won't be so stubborn, the emperor still holds some hope for this …

Xiao Wenliang never thought that the Emperor would actually want to grant him a marriage. Although he rejected the Emperor's suggestion, Xiao Wenliang could understand the Emperor's attitude, and that the Emperor wouldn't change his attitude so easily. Xiao Wenliang was anxious, he could only take things one step at a time, after everything that had happened between him and Rong Qianyu, Xiao Wenliang understood that if the Emperor had made up his mind, he wouldn't be able to refuse. As the prince of Xiao Nation, Xiao Wenliang himself had many things that he couldn't refuse, and he had responsibilities that he had to shoulder.

Shen Yan was not in a good mood, so she did not ask about anything else. Recently, her life had been going very smoothly, and her body had become a lot better, so she felt that she would have more energy to do things in the future. With a good body, she had confidence.

Shen Yan did not know that the following days were not as beautiful as she had imagined, but Xiao Wenliang was worried about Liu Ruyue. If Liu Ruyue was so easy to get rid of, Xiao Wenliang would not be in such a rush now.

He was very happy with the news, but Xiao Wenliang's attitude towards him made Prince Xian very unhappy. The Emperor said to the Prince: Previously, I didn't think that Wen Liang would reject this matter, but he's young and insensible, so it's good for him, furthermore, it's normal for men to have three wives, what do you think about this matter? The Emperor wanted to find the Prince Xian so that he could persuade Xiao Wenliang. Xiao Wenliang was not very sensible, but he hoped that the Prince Xian could take care of this matter for a while.

The Prince had always wanted to get on good terms with Liu, but there was always a chance for him to make peace. Now that the Prince wanted to have a relationship with his daughter, this was what the Prince wished for, for Xiao Wenliang to be so rude to him, and when the Prince learned of Xiao Wenliang's attitude from the Emperor, he had to make Xiao Wenliang feel good. No matter what, the Prince would not let Xiao Wenliang do as he pleased, so he would try to suppress Xiao Wenliang.

Your Majesty, don't worry. This subject knows what to do. The Saint King was more anxious than anyone else. He would not be willing to let Xiao Wenliang offend Liu Xiang for this.

After returning from the palace, Prince Xian went to look for Xiao Wenliang. Xiao Wenliang did not know that the Prince was looking for him because of this matter, and neither father nor son had really seen each other before. After Xiao Wenliang bowed to the Prince, he stood at the side and waited for the Prince to speak.

Your father knows that the emperor sought you out to grant you a marriage. What do you think about that? Although Prince Xian was dissatisfied in his heart, he wanted to know what Xiao Wenliang was thinking. To not agree to such a good matter, he was simply a fool, the Prince Xian knew Xiao Wenliang's temperament. If Xiao Wenliang angered his son, he would not give him, the father, face.

Xiao Wenliang frowned, he knew that the Prince Xian already knew about this matter, and judging from his current attitude, it was obvious that the Prince was trying to persuade him to agree to the marriage bestowed upon him by the Emperor. However, Xiao Wenliang was truly unhappy in his heart, if it was possible, he did not even want to marry Rong Qianyu, but Xiao Wenliang wanted to give Shen An the best life.

I don't want to agree to the emperor's proposal this time. Regarding Liu Xiang's daughter, my son doesn't want to disturb her. Xiao Wenliang had all of his thoughts on Shen Yan. If she married Liu Ruyue and became the lateral consort, it would also delay her. Xiao Wenliang would not treat Liu Ruyue well, it would be similar to treating Rong Qianyu.

Xiao Wenliang was naturally not happy with such a marriage.

What do you mean by delaying her? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What on earth are you rejecting the emperor's suggestion for? At that time when he refused to marry Rong Qianyu, it had also given him a huge shock. If Xiao Wenliang was to resist it again, even Prince Xian didn't know if he could still handle it.

If Xiao Wen offended the Prime Minister, then he might have to take revenge on him in the future. The Prince had more plans in his heart, because he wanted to have a good relationship with Liu but didn't have the opportunity to do so in the past. Now that the opportunity had finally come, he naturally didn't want to refuse.

But my son doesn't want to live a life of three wives and four concubines. That's what other people want, not what I want. Xiao Wenliang expressed his attitude. He did not want the Virtuous King to force him to do something he did not want to do.

There has been quite a commotion around you recently. Don't think that just because This King asked that you won't know about your matters. I thought you had become sensible previously, but I didn't expect that you would really get back to life. The Prince was not satisfied with what Xiao Wenliang had done recently. He knew that Xiao Wenliang had done quite a lot of things before, but he was dissatisfied with how he was able to do it for a woman, Xiao Wenliang. He had been wanting to find an opportunity to warn Xiao Wenliang about this, but he did not have the time.

Xiao Wenliang refused to marry Liu Xiang's daughter, connecting the dots. He already knew the reason, he didn't want Xiao Wenliang to have such an intimate relationship with women, if a man were to indulge himself in this, how would he be able to do anything in the future …

Previously, Prince Xian was extremely satisfied with Xiao Wenliang, but now, he was even more dissatisfied with Xiao Wenliang …

CHAPTER 105 - PRESSURE

Xiao Wenliang remained silent and did not say a word. He knew that the commotion he had caused regarding Shen Yan previously had indeed increased greatly.

But in the end, Shen Yan recovered and did not regret what she had done.

He also knew that Prince Xian would not understand his own matters, so he naturally did not want to waste his time trying to justify his actions.

Xiao Wenliang's silence made the Prince very angry. Previously, the Prince had thought that Xiao Wenliang would understand the situation, but it seemed like the man didn't understand what he was doing until he taught Xiao Wenliang a lesson.

However, Xiao Wenliang actually rejected the Emperor's suggestion. Not only did the Emperor not expect this result, even the Prince himself did not expect Xiao Wenliang to fail at such a crucial time, which made him very angry.

Right now, Xian Wang wanted to smash Xiao Wenliang's head open to see what Xiao Wenliang was thinking. If he rejected such a good opportunity, others would not even have a chance to do so.

Liu Xiang's daughter is able to become a Chief Consort for the prince, but now that he has taken a liking to you, he wants to become your lateral consort. For such a good thing, you actually rejected him? What on earth are you thinking? No matter what, the Saint King had to make Xiao Wenliang agree to this matter. For the matter of him being on good terms with Liu, it had always been something he wanted to do. This was very important to what he needed to do next …

But Prince Xian didn't want to explain these words to Xiao Wenliang clearly. Based on his understanding of Xiao Wenliang, Prince Xian wouldn't endorse and support him in what he was about to do …

Since she has a better choice, then don't waste your time with me. I was originally unwilling … What Xiao Wenliang did not like could not be forced by anyone. What happened to Rong Qianyu was an accident, he did not want to experience it again, of course, the kind of thing that would force him to have a bad impression of Liu Ruyue.

What are you talking about? If it wasn't for them taking a fancy to you, would such a good thing have fallen onto you? The Prince Xian felt that Xiao Wenliang had gotten away easily, and if he refused now, he would be a fool. He saw that the Emperor was in agreement with him, and Liu Xiang had brought this matter up with the Emperor first. According to his understanding of Liu Xiang, the Prince Xian wanted the Emperor to gift the marriage to him, so the Prince Xian did not want Xiao Wenliang to ruin this matter.

In any case, you won't be satisfied with this matter. However, the Emperor has already agreed to let you go. There is no room for negotiation. Liu Xiang wasn't someone he could easily offend. The Saint King had power and influence, but he also needed Liu Xiang's help at a time like this.

But the emperor clearly asked for my opinion, and I also refused. Since this is the case, then this marriage can't be considered an agreement, and it can't be said that the emperor already betrothed you to him. Xiao Wenliang rejected the Virtuous King, but the Emperor did not immediately pass down the decree to agree to this matter, so how could there be no leeway?

Xiao Wenliang did not like Liu Xiang's daughter, although he knew the benefits of marrying Liu Ruyue, he did not want to betray his feelings, if it was like this every time, it would harm others. Xiao Wenliang did not like people who do whatever they want, he knew where his bottom line was, he did not want to harm others, nor did he want to force himself.

The emperor asking you is just a formality, the emperor has already agreed to this matter. What do you want the emperor to do? Prince Xian said with dissatisfaction.

Jun Wu Yi is joking, you want the Emperor to be embarrassed? The Saint King
