Chapter 100 I want to be the Princess of Chu

A good marriage waits for no one.

After the Spring Banquet, several good-looking young men quickly got engaged, and in two cases the girl took the initiative.

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious and came to Wang Xiangjun's room again.

"What do you think?"

"Mother has already expressed her interest in us. Duke Shan Guo is also interested in us. If you are willing, mother will agree immediately."

"no!"

Wang Xiangjun hurriedly hid the needle and thread in the basket and ordered Hongjiao to take it down.

"Mom, if my daughter doesn't want to get married, can't she wait two more years?"

"My silly girl, you are already sixteen this year. You will become an old girl in two years. My mother only wants you to marry a good family."

"Mrs. Shanguo has a good relationship with my mother. They used to have a handkerchief relationship in the boudoir. She will definitely be a good mother-in-law and will never make things difficult for you. Such a marriage is hard to find even with a lantern."

Wang Xiangjun said nothing.

Mrs. Wang clasped her shoulders: "If you are dissatisfied with anything else, tell me. My mother will make the decision for you."

Still silent.

Mrs. Wang simply stood up and looked at her.

"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing. Mom, just go ahead and comply. Mom, I don't need to ask for your opinion. I dote on you too much."

When Mrs. Wang was about to leave, Wang Xiangjun stood up and stopped her.

"Mom, I don't want to marry, I don't like it"

"What?" Mrs. Wang's eyes widened.

She turned around and went to the side room, found the sewing basket that Hong Jiao had just hidden, and pulled out the half-embroidered handkerchief.

The pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water have not yet been embroidered, but there are two small characters in the corner that are exquisitely embroidered.

‘Xiang’ and ‘Chu’

Needless to say the word Xiang, who is the word Chu?

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wang's face changed drastically and she pointed at her daughter with a trembling hand.

"You also said that you have no one in your heart. I dare you to fall in love with that romantic King of Chu."

"Mom, he is not what the rumors say, he is actually a very nice person."

Wang Xiangjun quickly lowered his head, his cheeks suddenly turned red, his fingers were trembling, but his back was straight.

She's not wrong.

She is worthy of everything from her status, appearance, family background and appearance, so why can't she choose?

"Confused! Confused!"

"Look at the King of Chu, does he do anything serious every day? He walks around the streets doing nothing, visits brothels, buys prostitutes, drinks and plays cards. When has he ever done anything serious?"

"No!" Wang Xiangjun retorted.

"In the past years, he followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help the victims outside the city. Even now, some people still praise him. Even the emperor rewarded him."

"He also went to the south to purchase wood for the renovation of the upper study room the year before last. The emperor also commended him."

"Besides the prince, he is the only one who has been granted the title of king, and the land is still the land of Jingchu, which shows that the emperor values ​​him very much."

When you like someone, you want to know everything about them.

Wang Xiangjun spent half a month asking Hongjiao to inquire thoroughly, and he admired her even more.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she vomited blood.

"Family scandals should not be made public. How can the emperor admit that his son is a loser with such a good face? He is deliberately trying to make money for the King of Chu, and you still take it seriously!"

"Don't you look at how many women he has in his backyard?!"

My whole body was shaking, my lungs were almost exploding with anger, waves of fire rushed straight to the sky, and tears followed.

Mrs. Wang never expected that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would suddenly become rebellious.

"Mom doesn't even look at how many people there are in the backyards of other princes. Prince Chu's people are relatively few. Besides, mother also told me that those people who don't like it can be sold at will, so there is no need to treat them as human beings."

"you!"

"You rebellious girl, I think you are determined"

"Why don't you think about me?" Wang Xiangjun also felt aggrieved, tears streaming down his face.

"What I fall in love with is not a poor man, but His Highness the King of Chu. Isn't my daughter worthy of being the Princess of Chu?"

Mrs. Wang had nothing to say.

After saying a few good words in succession, he threw the veil to the ground, rolled up his sleeves and left.

Wang Xiangjun was exhausted and sat down on the bed, sobbing so hard.

Hong Jiao carefully packed up her sewing basket and walked in slowly.

"If you stand on mother's side, you don't have to speak, I won't listen." Wang Xiangjun looked away.

"I don't dare. I just want to ask Miss, have you really thought about it clearly?"

"Of course"

Raising his head again, Wang Xiangjun assumed a noble and ladylike posture.

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. I have a distinguished status. I cannot compare to my aunt's status. Being a princess is more than enough."

"But my mother wants me to marry at a low age, how can I be willing to do so?"

"As long as Miss has a good idea, Hongjiao will support you."

"In heaven and hell, I will always be by your side." Hongjiao knelt down loyally.

"Really? That's great, I know you understand me best, Hongjiao, thank you"

——

The Prince of Chu’s Mansion at this time

Zhao Hai led the court lady through the front yard to the study.

"Go in, the prince is waiting for you."

The sunshine in March and a half was a bit dazzling, and the courtesan Liu Ruyan walked into the study in the front yard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion stepping on the tiny spots of light.

Xie Chenyu was sleeping with a book covering his face and his legs propped on the table.

Hearing the noise, Xie Chenyu woke up suddenly and almost fell off the chair.

"You're here, sit down"

"Ruyan doesn't dare"

After giving a slow salute, Liu Ruyan stood not far away from Xie Chenyu.

"What orders does the prince have? He needs to call Ruyan to the mansion to give him instructions."

"I have a woman I like, and I'm going to marry him. I can't keep an outside wife. Are you willing to join the palace?"

Liu Ruyan froze and couldn't believe it for a long time.

"Ru Yan has a low status, and the house is full of women who are either rich or noble. How can Ru Yan be worthy..."

"Of course I'm not worthy, but I can still be a maid, are you willing?" Xie Chenyu said carelessly.

Liu Ruyan: "..."

The beauty was about to cry, shedding tears.

"Ru Yan knows very well that she is humble, so how dare she enter the house and disturb His Highness from marrying a concubine? It is better to let me leave..."

"Alright!"

Xie Chenyu suddenly stood up and asked Zhao Hai to take the tray.

He personally uncovered the red cloth and found one thousand taels of silver inside, plus a pile of silver notes.

"Five thousand taels of silver notes plus one thousand taels of cash. Just think that the king can't help you. Come and send Miss Liu out."

He left without any regrets and did not give Liu Ruyan a chance to say a second sentence.

The separation came suddenly. After all, he was the one who had supported her for so long and was the one who redeemed her life.

Liu Ruyan was still a little reluctant to give up.

But Zhao Hai had already come to invite her out and said there was a carriage waiting outside.

"Girl, don't worry. Your Majesty said that after a good relationship, if you need any help later, you can come to His Highness."

Liu Ruyan looked back again.
