Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 381 I Want Him
Li Xueyue did not expect that the foreign envoys from Nanhui would arrive so soon. They came less than a week after she and Yu Zhen discussed it.
The emperor held a private party in an open space near the palace. Behind the party was a huge lawn covered with carefully manicured grass. Behind the lawn was a heavily guarded forest.
"This feeling is so familiar." Li Xueyue muttered to herself.
The layout was very similar to the spring tournament, with the royals sitting on a raised platform overlooking two rows of tables and chairs.
Large parasols hang above the tables, providing ample shade from the sun.
There was a gap between the two rows of tables, enough for five people to pass side by side, and quite a few people were invited, ranging from court ministers to powerful nobles.
The atmosphere was lively and there was a lot of excited chatter. Despite the hot weather, everyone was in high spirits.
Yuzhen seemed very unhappy. He sat in the hot sun, looking gloomy and uglier than usual. He hated the hot weather and the frivolous laughter of the princesses.
"I want him to be mine."
Yu Zhen's expression remained unchanged. He raised the wine glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp. His cold eyes fell on Li Xueyue, paying attention to what she was eating.
"Hush, little sister, you can't say things like that here," a princess whispered to a young woman.
The little princess pouted. She turned to her brother and tugged at his sleeve. She liked her brother's height and broad frame, which could block the sun.
"Father said that if I liked a man here, I could marry him..." She didn't say any more.
When Prince Nanhui heard her words, he laughed out loud. She was the youngest princess, only sixteen years old, yet she was so bold. He touched her head affectionately.
"Indeed, my father agreed."
The little princess perked up and pointed at the handsome man in front of her.
"I want him."
The man's cold gaze made her curious, his eyes were fierce, as if it was a storm that could tear people into pieces at any time.
Still, it was hard to deny his striking features. Even from a distance, he was handsome. From the long fingers holding his glass of liquor to the narrowed dark eyes, everything about him was perfect.
The dark clothes could not hide his muscular figure at all, and the gold edges on the black clothes added a bit of mystery.
"Do you think he is the eldest prince? Although he is the eldest son, his identity is not that important?" The little princess turned around and looked at her sister eagerly.
"If that's the case, then I want him," she added.
Hearing this, her brother couldn't help laughing again. Although she was in a foreign country, she was so confident. His eyes met the emperor's.
"My sister did, Your Majesty," said the foreign prince, with a hint of amusement in his tone. "May I ask about your son's condition?"
The emperor held back his cough, patted his chest, and let the queen speak for him. However, the queen's words were completely contrary to his thoughts.
"Of course, Prince Nanhui," she said with a smile, "My eldest son is not here, but I can bring him."
"Isn't that the eldest prince?" The foreign prince raised his eyebrows and asked. He was very dissatisfied with this. He only accepted the best for his beloved sister - that is the eldest prince, and he was naturally the crown prince.
"Which one?" asked the Queen, greatly surprised by the woman's rudeness. She had never heard such a bold declaration from a princess, let alone the youngest.
She thought this was normal in Nanhui. In her eyes, Nanhui was a barbaric country. But they were all great warriors, and that was what she liked about them.
"That's the one," said the foreign prince, lifting his chin.
There was total silence. The servants held their breath, and the ministers looked away. No one wanted to make a sound.
"This is really complicated." The queen chuckled.
"I will not accept this marriage." Princess Yu Yingluo said quickly. She glanced at her brother nervously and found that his face was calm. Despite this, the atmosphere around him was cold and tense.
The Queen was somewhat surprised that her youngest daughter would express her opinion. She turned her head to the left, where Princess Yu Yingluo was sitting. Next to Princess Yu Yingluo was Madam Ge Bening, who was quietly drinking tea.
"Why not?" the foreign princess demanded. "I am the most favored princess of Nanhui. A marriage with me will ensure an alliance between Hanjian and Nanhui."
"Xiao Mengjie." The foreign prince said, putting his hand on her lower back, trying to calm her down. But she was already very angry.
Princess Mengjie turned her head to look at the handsome man and gave him a beautiful smile.
"I want you. So, be mine."
Mrs. Guberning nearly choked on her tea. She quickly regained her composure. Fortunately, no one saw the elegant woman make a mistake. She took another sip of her tea and tried to hide a smile of amusement.
What a stupid princess.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignored her words, but glanced at Li Xueyue's empty plate, frowned, and his eyes fell on the various snacks in front of him.
Why didn't she eat it? He knew she liked sweets, so he took a rose-shaped cookie and put it on her plate.
Li Xueyue looked up at him, surprised by his action - as was everyone else.
The Crown Princess rarely showed affection, but for the maids around her, this was nothing new.
"Thank you," Li Xueyue whispered. She picked up the biscuit without noticing the slight smile on his face.
Just then, someone rushed over. Before she could take a bite, the cookie was snatched from her hand. She stared at her empty hand and blinked to make sure it wasn't her illusion.
But at this moment, she heard a loud noise. Li Xueyue was startled and looked up, only to see Yu Zhen had stood up from the chair.
"Do you want to die?" he hissed, glaring at the foreign princess.
Li Xueyue then realized that the biscuit had been stolen by the foreign princess and had broken into pieces on the ground. A perfect piece of cake was wasted like this. It must have been a servant who spent the whole morning carving the mold...
"I'm asking you a question, don't ignore me." The little princess grumbled a little timidly. She didn't expect him to be so intimidating. From a distance, he looked so gentle and elegant... How could he be so intimidating when he showed up in person?
"How dare you do this?" the foreign prince stood up and demanded. "A threat to my sister is a threat to Nanhui!"
Yu Zhen looked at the foreign prince sharply, "Then let's do this."
The queen took a breath of cold air when she heard this. She turned to look at the Crown Princess, feeling very disappointed that the Crown Princess was the culprit of this disaster.
Li Xueyue didn't expect that a piece of cake would cause a conflict. She secretly glanced at the queen, only to see Mrs. Ge Bening approaching the queen and whispering something.
"It's okay." Li Xueyue finally said.
Li Xueyue grabbed Yu Zhen's sleeve and said, "It's just snacks, there are still a lot of them."
Princess Mengjie glared at the woman who did it, wishing she could chop off her hands. Who dared to touch her things?
"Why are you doing this?" Princess Mengjie asked the man, "I came here to help sign a peace treaty so that Hanjian and Nanhui can prosper together. Why are you so cruel to me?"
Princess Mengjie ignored his gaze and looked straight at him. She felt as if the carpet under her feet had been pulled away. Looking at him up close, she almost forgot to think.
"Why don't you accept my proposal? Don't you want your country to prosper?"
"I already have a wife."
Princess Mengjie blinked. Oh. Is that the question? "So?"
"Have some manners," he snapped.
Princess Mengjie couldn't help but shrink back after hearing his cold words. His face became fierce, and his eyes were like a storm. But my God, why is he more handsome when he is angry? She pursed her lips and turned to look at her brother.
"If you marry my sister as your principal wife, then your previous threat to Nanhui will disappear into thin air." The foreign prince said with a smile.
Li Xueyue raised her eyebrows. Don't these people know who the prince is? In other words, they know nothing about Han Jian? They must know more, right?
Everything happened so fast that Li Xueyue had no time to react. She was confused by the conversation, but she began to think back to how it all started. The queen enjoyed this boring conversation, but... she suspected that someone enjoyed it more than anyone else.
Just as Li Xueyue expected, Mrs. Ge Bening was watching all this. She drank tea and watched it all with a keen eye, not missing any details.
Madam Ge Beining was caught by Li Xueyue and quickly looked away, not looking at the Queen.
What the hell is going on?
"My threat still stands."
Li Xueyue turned her head sharply and looked at Yuzhen. She was terrified that he would say such a thing. But so were the others. They stared at her intently, thinking that she was the source of the problem. After all, she was his wife - the one who prevented the prince from having a harem.
