Chapter 501 Love but not getting it
He was not moved by those beauties at all. He was clean and upright, just like a perfect heir to the throne. The emperor saw it and was very satisfied. After finding a suitable time, he ordered the queen to start to behave properly. The king was looking for a candidate for the princess. Regarding the candidate for the princess, the emperor also asked King Duan. King Duan hesitated for a long time, and the outline of Yun Luan's facial features appeared in his mind unconsciously. But he knew that Yun Luan didn't like him, and she She was already the fiancée of King Yan. Although he felt a little unwilling to do so, judging from the current situation, he could not make any more enemies, especially such a big enemy as Xiao Tingyan. He thought that everything would wait for the future. Now, he wants to What he did was to be patient, to behave well, and to be a qualified prince. King Duan restrained his true thoughts, clasped his fists and bowed his head respectfully: "I will listen to your father's arrangements..." The emperor smiled brightly and said again and again. A few good words. The more he looked at this son, the more he liked him. Although he did not have Xiao Xuanrui's arrogant and sharp temperament, he was very elegant, gentle, calm and reserved, and quite what a prince needed. The posture of a deputy strategist. This is a completely different style of dealing with Rui'er. He will rush forward at all costs to achieve his goal, and many tricks will make him unable to resist, causing him a lot of trouble. For example, dealing with the Yun family This was the emperor's biggest dissatisfaction with Xiao Xuanrui. Now, thinking about it day and night, he was undoubtedly sad and regretful. Therefore, he felt more and more that Rui'er was really not suitable to be the Southern Prince. The crown prince. If he handed over the kingdom of Nanchu to Rui'er, with his murderous temperament, I'm afraid the kingdom wouldn't be stable for long. Now, seeing Prince Duan being so orderly and steady, he felt like saying no in his heart. It brought peace of mind and relaxation. The emperor immediately issued an edict and announced to the world that he would choose a princess, concubine, and other concubines for King Duan. As soon as the news came out, those who wanted to use crooked tricks to attract King Duan's favor completely stopped thinking and settled down. Wait for the draft with peace of mind, waiting to be selected to become Princess Duan, Crown Princess, or even the future Queen. For a time, almost all aristocratic families participated in signing up for this draft. Those who did not have a quota, they would also spend He spent a lot of money to buy that rare quota. Xiao Xuanrui has been quietly recuperating during this period. Hearing how glorious Duan Wang was, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Originally, all these honors belonged to him. However, just because Xiao Xuanjing took away everything from him and made him a useless chess piece in the hands of his father. He could not swallow this breath no matter what. Xiao Xuanrui turned to look at Shen Huanzhi sitting next to him: "Mr. Shen, let you Have you found the person you are looking for?"
A faint smile flashed across Shen Huanzhi's eyes, and he nodded gently in a good mood: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the person has been found. I have asked this person to find a way to get close to Prince Duan..." Xiao Xuanrui sneered, "I'm afraid my father won't know that it's not that Xiao Xuanjing doesn't like women... he just doesn't like those vulgar girls. Who could have known that Xiao Xuanjing would actually like Yun Luan? What a pity, Yun Luan is destined for him all his life. Those who can't get it..." He really didn't expect that Xiao Xuanjing also had thoughts about Yun Luan. This gave him a lot of surprises. Didn't he catch his weak spot? Men know men best, and when he If there is an impossible woman hidden in his heart, then this woman will become the real inner demon in his heart. Men all have the desire to conquer, and they all have people who cannot love... The more they cannot love, the more the inner demon will be. It will grow and expand little by little. One day, the desire hidden in his heart will destroy everything he owns. - In the evening, King Duan came out of the palace and met Xiao Tingyan and Yun by coincidence. Luan. They seemed to have gone to the Queen's Palace. They didn't expect to meet each other when they left the palace. It was said that Yun Luan was about to get married to Prince Yan... Both the General's Palace and Prince Yan's Palace were already secretly preparing for the wedding. This time, when they entered the palace, it seemed that they had to discuss some wedding matters with the queen. Since Zhao Waner's death, part of the power in the palace has fallen into the hands of the queen. Although the queen's temperament is a bit weak, she is everyone's favorite. Being born as a lady, she is quite good at handling some palace affairs. Xiao Tingyan is the uncle of the Southern Prince, so his wedding is naturally handled by the Queen... The Queen is very busy during this time. Not only does she manage the wedding of King Yan, but she also Helping King Duan choose his princess, all the good things seemed to be squeezed together. After not seeing each other for a while, King Duan found that Yunluan had become more beautiful again. Maybe people are in high spirits during happy events, so she rarely wore a pink dress embroidered with delicate flowers. Wearing a gauze skirt, wearing a wig on the temples, applying a thin layer of powder, her skin is as white and tender as snow... The whole person is like a delicate flower waiting to bloom, with a little less of the fierce and heroic spirit of the past, and more of a girl's charming features. Picturesque, delicate and small nose, alluring red lips like petals... Those eyes are so dazzling and dazzling, the watery light is soul-catching, as if it can reflect the shadow of the people around him. King Duan's eyes can't help but pass by. A little disappointed... The figure reflected in her eyes was Xiao Tingyan, not him. He only glanced at it lightly, but couldn't look away. "Prince Duan, what are you looking at?"
It wasn't until Xiao Tingyan's cold voice came that King Duan came back to his senses and looked away. He tilted his head to look at Xiao Tingyan in confusion, and bowed to Xiao Tingyan humbly and politely. "Uncle..." Xiao Tingyan was extremely unhappy and blocked Yun Luan, blocking Prince Duan's sight of Yun Luan. Don't look at Al Luan too enthusiastically. He clearly had other motives for Al Luan. Xiao Tingyan With a smile on his lips, he said pointedly: "I heard that my brother has already decreed that he will choose a princess and concubine for you? You can be considered proud of your success... Your love life and official career are frank. You have been dormant and forbearing for many years. , I will finally get my wish. King Duan, congratulations..." King Duan nodded absently and said, "Thank you, uncle, you and the head of Taiping County are about to get married. I would also like to say congratulations to you."
Xiao Tingyan held Yun Luan's little hand tightly, her thin lips fell on the back of her hand, her eyes were full of tenderness. "The marriage between this king and Aluan will be in one month. At that time, I will send you an invitation. , I hope you will arrive on time to participate."
Prince Duan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Xiao Tingyan with some surprise: "One month later? So soon?"
Normally, when someone comes to prepare for a wedding, it would take at least a year and a half to complete the wedding. He didn't expect that these two people would get married in a month? He was caught off guard, and the shock in his eyes was clear. Xiao Tingyan chose He raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "What? Does Prince Duan have any opinions?"
Prince Duan immediately came back to his senses and shook his head quickly: "How dare I have any opinions on the wedding between the emperor's uncle and the county lord? I just feel that it is a bit sudden... getting married in a month is very good..." The time is really too long Soon. He also thought that when he sat on the throne of the prince, he would find a way to ruin their marriage so that he could take advantage of it. He really didn't expect that they would get married so soon. After that, Xiao Tingyan and Duan Wang chatted for a while. Duan Wang's eyes always looked at Yun Luan with a vague look, and the deep affection flashing in his eyes was too hot to ignore. Yun Luan couldn't help but frown slightly, and she nestled against Xiao Tingyan's shoulder. Side, almost covering most of his body. He didn't say anything to King Duan during the whole process... King Duan left in despair, and his whole person looked particularly decadent and desolate. Xiao Tingyan stood on the carriage and looked at King Duan who was riding away. , a cold light flashed across his eyes. "This Xiao Xuanjing is clearly obsessed with you..." Yun Luan didn't know why Prince Duan was attracted to her. Wasn't it just that she met him once when he was a child? Why has Prince Duan been obsessed with her for so many years? She doesn't like this kind of emotional entanglement. It's quite troublesome. She is also afraid that some unexpected disasters will happen because of this incident. She frowned slightly and felt very depressed. The two people got on the carriage, and Xiao Tingyan took her into his arms. He hugged her body tightly: "You said, why are you so good? Both of them miss you, which makes me feel uncomfortable. There is little sense of crisis. If possible, I would really like to put you in my pocket and hide you."
Yun Luan couldn't help but laugh when she heard his somewhat jealous words, and looked up at Xiao Tingyan with bright eyes. "Are you still talking about me? Aren't you also a attractor of bees and butterflies? A few days ago, we went When we were having dinner in a restaurant, that girl threw herself into your arms without saying a word. Fortunately, you didn't let her hold the corner of your clothes, otherwise if you were dirty, I wouldn't want you."
Xiao Tingyan raised his hand helplessly and scratched her nose. "Since I was a child, there have been countless women who have fallen for me. If you are jealous, you may not be able to eat them all in your lifetime."
Yun Luan tightened his lips and glared at him in annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is jealous? I'm not... This is not just nonsense, I just mentioned this."
Seeing that she was getting angry, Xiao Tingyan quickly relented and coaxed in a low voice. "Okay, let's not talk anymore. This matter has been revealed. I was jealous before, and you are jealous again. This jealousy is too much." , is not good for the body, and will also affect our emotions. It’s really not cost-effective... There are so many people who care about us, doesn’t it prove that we are excellent?”
