Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Maybe one day, Emperor Wuyi will be punished more severely. Although he dared not look at his precious sister, he could feel her vicious gaze. Contempt. Hatred. Betrayal. Strong emotions flowed in her body, filling her with too much negativity.

The emperor told himself that he would never engage in nepotism - it would be unfair to everyone.

He turned to Li Xueyue and waved to her. "Little lady, won't you come forward?"

Li Xueyue whispered something to the Duchess. Slowly, she pried Duchess Li Qixing's hands away from her wrists. Duchess Li Qixing tried hard to hold on, but Xueyue whispered something again. This time, the Duchess's face was full of anxiety. Immediately, King Li Chenyang protected his wife in front of him, preventing everyone from prying into her reaction.

Li Xueyue took the initiative to step forward. When people thought she would beg for mercy, she did the opposite. She gathered up the sides of her clothes and curtseyed gracefully.

"Li Xueyue greets His Majesty."

"You should have said hello to me sooner, kid."

Li Xueyue kept her head down and curtseyed until he asked her to stand up.

"Do you understand why I gave you this gift?"

Li Xueyue kept her eyes on the ground. A gift? It felt more like a curse. A death sentence. “No, I’m afraid not, Your Majesty.”

"I believe you have the potential to flourish in Han. My good friend Li Taojun was not lying when he said you would wither in the harem."

The emperor gently lifted her chin and examined her face from left to right. From the cupid's curve of her lips to the depth of her eyes, everything was suitable for Han Jian, who liked delicate but potential. He nodded with satisfaction.

The emperor raised his head and looked at Commander Wen Jinkai who was walking towards them. Before Li Xueyue could react, her wrist was pulled violently, and in an instant, her back bumped into a familiar person. An arm tightly wrapped around her waist, fingers clasped at her side.

"Li Xueyue will not go to Hanjian." Wen Jinkai said calmly. His tone left no room for any objection. "She promised it to me."

"Oh?" the emperor laughed. "What's the evidence?"

Wen Jinkai raised his other arm, with something hanging from his finger. The jewels swayed in the wind, the tassels fluttering. The unique blend of forest green and crystal blue jade caught the afternoon light. The silver branches stretched out a name: "Li Xueyue."

Li Xueyue's eyes widened and she reached out to pat her belly. Her pendant was gone. How long had it been now? She suddenly recounted what had happened this morning. Earlier that day, she had felt a slight tug on her belt. Then the commander left.

She dug her nails into his, hoping he would let her go. He didn't even frown.

Wen Jinkai smiled slowly. "With the pendant she promised me."

The crowd fell into a heavy silence. The tension grew. Then, randomly, a murmur came, like the annoying buzzing of busy bees. First, they praised the commander for how handsome he was when he smiled. Second, they addressed the question that everyone was most concerned about: Was Li Xueyue promised to him? How? When?

Li Xueyue wished she could understand the commander's complex thoughts. She wished she could read his mind at the moment. Did he think about it at all? First he stole her pendant, and now he showed it to everyone; it was like he was asserting his opinion to her in front of everyone.

"This is comedy gold." The emperor smiled and shook his head.

"Did you give this to him, little lady? Or was it taken away from you by force?" His smile was welcoming and understanding, but the intimidation rolled off him like a violent wave.

Li Xueyue understood what kind of person the emperor was. He couldn't lash out at his people in public, well, he didn't have to, because he could do it in a quiet, passive-aggressive way. He was smiling now, but the wider the smile, the more contempt he felt.

The emperor has spent his life perfecting the art of benevolence, so it's not hard to be impressed by his performance. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing - pretending to care, but turning weaknesses into strengths.

"You don't have to lie for my commander." The Emperor said thoughtfully. "He claims you were promised to him for the pendant, but did he offer you anything? Perhaps he promised you something you don't know about. Can't you care?"

Li Xueyue had doubts about the emperor. He knew very well what she was thinking. He had anticipated what kind of promises Wen Jinkai would make. She was a little confused. How did the emperor know that she didn’t like endless wealth and prominent titles?

"Mrs. Li, you are a proud woman. Money can't buy you, and gold can't stop you. Servants bore you. A handsome husband means nothing to you. You desire something beyond the surface. Am I right? \"

Unfortunately, the Emperor hit home. The Commander knew it. His arms tightened around Xueyue, as if he knew he would lose her. As if he was sure she would slip from his grasp. If he understood how easy it would be to lose Xueyue, why didn't he cherish her while he had the chance? Why couldn't he learn to change for her? But then again, he was such a good man, why should he change for her? Both were too stubborn to change for each other.

“Some flowers are meant to be the only ones in a garden. That way, they bloom with the most beautiful beauty.”

Li Xueyue felt her lips part. The emperor’s words reminded her of what she had said to the commander-in-chief. She wanted to be the only flower in the garden, not one of a dozen.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, your words are always so profound and sincere." Li Xueyue smiled. "Unfortunately, a garden is beautiful only because of the different flowers in it. If there were only one type, it would be too boring."

She bowed her head and continued, "I appreciate your generosity from the bottom of my heart. In return, I want to show you something."

She held out her hand, revealing a piece of paper. Plain and unrolled, it contained two words: "One Wish".

The Emperor's smile widened, and his eyes crinkled. The odds were against him. "I see. What is your wish?"

"It's simple." She smiled softly and slowly, with a calm smile. She was like mist, beautiful and leisurely. "I wish my family happiness."

The emperor laughed a hearty laugh, a laugh that was hollow and powerful. It was a laugh that came from his heart. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face now. "Daughters are indeed the backbone of the family - supportive and useful."

"Without pillars, the house cannot stand." Li Xueyue said with a smile.

"I thought you had given up poetry for the martial arts." The emperor nodded approvingly. "You are very witty."

He took a step towards her and the commander held her tightly in his arms, his eyes twinkling. He would not allow anyone to touch what belonged to him.

"Is this your wish?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" The emperor's eyes rested on the commander. He found it funny that Wen Jinkai didn't realize that he was the cause of this mess. If he hadn't meddled in Xueyue's life, she wouldn't have been chosen as a candidate. Well, the Fourth Prince was also to blame.

"You can use this wish to get things beyond your wildest expectations. Marry a prince, more money than you could ever imagine, an expensive house with hundreds of servants to wait on you."

"Your Majesty, you said so yourself. I don't care about these. What's the point of getting married without the blessing of your parents? What's the use of money and house if you can't be with your family?"

"Every time I see you, you exceed my expectations." The emperor clapped his hands. "That's good." He took the paper from her, tore it, and then grabbed Wen Jinkai's free hand.

"Thank you for your thoughtful words. I will give you another gift." The emperor placed the torn paper in the commander's hands thoughtfully.

"Li Xueyue, daughter of King Li Chenyang and Lady Li Qixing, from today on, your title will be changed from Lady to Third Rank Princess."

Li Xueyue widened her eyes.

"A man who marries a princess must never marry anyone else, because she is the peony, the treasure of this country." He flicked his long sleeves and continued, "The princess can marry anyone, but no one can force anyone to marry her." Hold her hand. "

Wen Jinkai could not force himself to be her husband. His claim on her was automatically invalid. Even if she was dragged to the wedding, as long as she could say that she did not agree to the marriage, the marriage would automatically end. And even if the commander forcibly kidnapped her and forced her to marry, it would not be a marriage recognized by the state. She was still a free woman.
