Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 740 Don’t make people worry
The wine glass in his hand was empty. Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and his smile became even deeper.
He was already a little drunk at this moment and did not notice that a pair of eyes not far away were staring intently at his charming smile.
Shangguan Jin's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen, as if he was attracted by his smile and couldn't look away.
How he wished he could keep this beauty to himself and not let others share this shining light.
Shangguan Jin's eyes were burning with passion, moving with Jiang Chen's movements, from his forehead to his nose, and then to his seductive lips.
The blush from drinking added a bit of charm to Jiang Chen's face, which reminded Shangguan Jin of an unforgettable night.
Mo Tian noticed the blazing light in Shangguan Jin's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything.
"Your Majesty, you've drunk too much." He reminded in a low voice.
Mo Tian frowned, quickly stepped forward to block Shangguan Jin's sight, half-knelt in front of the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, let me take you to rest."
"Mo Tian, today is Jiang Xue's wedding day. If I, her brother, leave early, won't she be laughed at?" Although Jiang Chen had drunk some wine, his mind was still clear.
He looked around and found that except for a senior civil servant sent by Chengyuan and Daying, all the people coming from other countries were members of the royal family, and there were even a few princesses.
It was obviously Jiang Xue’s wedding, so why did these countries send their own princesses?
As the king of a country, Jiang Chen naturally knew the calculations involved.
Obviously, Jiang Xue's wedding affected the interests of many people. The other eight countries seemed to have regarded Qian Kingdom and Beiling as one, and were worried that the two would join forces, so they began to find ways to plant spies.
If he withdraws now, it will undoubtedly leave opportunities for others.
As the monarch of the country in the marriage alliance, leaving the wedding in the middle of it, how would people view this marriage and Jiang Xue?
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, he could not leave at this time.
"But, Your Majesty..."
Mo Tian's face was filled with worry. He knew Jiang Chen didn't drink much normally, and now the wine jug on the table was almost empty, which made him even more worried.
"Brother Imperial, what's wrong with you?"
After completing the ceremony, Jiang Xue noticed that her brother was acting strangely and came over to ask.
Since she was Jiang Chen's sister, her position was relatively forward. She walked over with a glass of wine, and it seemed that she was just toasting her brother. She stood in front of Jiang Chen, and no one noticed that he was already a little drunk.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is drunk." Mo Tian said in a low voice.
"Brother Royal."
Jiang Xue saw her brother's condition, looked at the empty wine jug, and sighed softly.
She took out a hangover pill from her sleeve and gave it to Jiang Chen to take. This was originally prepared for the groom, but she didn't expect it to be used first.
"How about it?"
After a while, seeing that the blush on Jiang Chen's face was gradually fading, Jiang Xue ordered someone to replace the wine pot with a teapot.
"It's okay, just a little tipsy, I'm much better now."
Jiang Chen said to his sister with a smile, and looked at her outfit today: "My sister is so beautiful, Xiao Zhan is so lucky."
"Brother Royal."
Jiang Xue gently pushed his chest, her cheeks slightly flushed. Even though they were siblings, she felt a little shy when someone formally praised her beauty.
"Huh? Aren't you pregnant? Why are you still drinking?" Jiang Chen noticed the wine glass in her hand and frowned unconsciously.
"Try it."
Jiang Xue smiled and handed the cup to his mouth.
"What is this? It's so sour!" Jiang Chen's expression immediately became strange as soon as he tasted it.
Seeing this, Mo Tian hurriedly approached: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"fine."
Jiang Xue took her hand back and explained, "This is just juice made from tamarind. Pregnant women sometimes have very special tastes."
She subconsciously protected her lower abdomen: "Don't worry, brother. As a doctor, I understand my physical condition."
"You naughty boy."
Jiang Chen looked at his sister's giggling face, smiled helplessly, and tapped her forehead lightly.
Although this little troublemaker always behaves elegantly and dignified in front of outsiders, he still retains his childhood mischievousness when facing him.
Even though he was teased by her, he couldn't get angry, after all, she was his only sister.
"Princess Changle."
At this time, Shangguan Jin's voice interrupted their conversation. Jiang Chen's expression instantly became serious, but he quickly adjusted and maintained his normal attitude.
"Your Highness, long time no see."
Jiang Xue turned around and smiled and nodded at Shangguan Jin who was sitting in a wheelchair. Even though she didn't like him in her heart, she still gave him due respect out of courtesy.
"Now I should call you Queen Beiling."
Shangguan Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, and then he signaled the servant to present a box: "This is a gift that we Beixi prepared for the Queen. Please take a look."
Jiang Xue asked the maid to take the gift and said politely, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
"Won't the Queen open it and take a look?"
Shangguan Jin saw that she handed it directly to the servant, so he said, "If you don't like it, I can give you a spare one."
The meaning of a gift lies in the thought behind it. Jiang Xue thought, whether it was opened on the spot or not, the thought behind it was enough.
Faced with the urgent request of Crown Prince Shangguan Jin, she keenly sensed something unusual.
"Your Highness, the gift is small but the thought is great. I appreciate your kindness. It doesn't really matter what the gift is."
She responded tactfully, trying to avoid direct conflict. After all, no matter what he gave her, her feelings would not change. But some things should be stopped at the right time to avoid hurting each other's face.
Shangguan Jin lowered his head slightly, a deep smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He flicked his fingers lightly, and a small stone quietly hit the maid holding the box, causing her to drop it, and the box fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with the red coral beads scattered all over the ground, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Wow! So many red coral beads!"
Everyone was amazed, their eyes drawn to the beads rolling all over the ground.
A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes. Hundreds of red coral beads rolled on the ground, and some even rolled to her feet.
This reminded her of Xiao Min's bullying of her at the winter banquet. Shangguan Jin's move was obviously intentional, with the intention of humiliating her.
She calmly ordered the injured maid to be taken care of, and said to Shangguan Jin in a slightly warning tone: "Your Highness, if certain actions cross the line, I'm afraid it will damage everyone's reputation."
Shangguan Jin pretended to be innocent: "The Queen has misunderstood. We all saw it with our own eyes. It was an accident caused by the maid behind you who accidentally fell down."
He chose the red coral bead as a gift specifically to touch the old wound in Jiang Xue's heart. He harbored hatred in his heart and vowed to make her pay for crippling his legs.
"is it?"
Jiang Xue glanced at the gravel on the ground and said, "I thought the Crown Prince would be more obedient after he became disabled, but I didn't expect that his hands would also be a cause for concern."
