She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 59: The Scheming Princess 16

Xiao Chongyu was busy with other affairs, so he returned to his tent without chatting with Xiao Chongling for much.

Shen Weicang held Xiao Chongling's hand and complained: "Why did Brother Jing Wang agree to this? This jade pendant has been given to me and it is mine. How can Brother Jing Wang use my belongings to bet?"

Xiao Chongling held her hand with his backhand: "Yu'er just said it casually. He knows the significance of this jade pendant to me and won't really want it."

Shen Weicang cursed in his heart.

What kind of fool is this?

Xiao Chongyu's eyes were almost glued to her. She could feel it even though she was hiding behind Xiao Chongling with only the corner of her clothes showing. How could this fool Xiao Chongling not notice anything?

He even said that Xiao Chongyu would not really want his jade pendant.

Xiao Chongyu naturally doesn't care about the jade pendant, what he wants is your life, you fool!

Shen Weicang looked at the gentle smile on Xiao Chongling's face, and for the first time he doubted in his heart whether his original choice was wrong.

Xiao Chongyu's mother was the former queen Di Wanfeng. The queen passed away not long after he was born. It was said that she had injured herself during his birth and did not recover well.

The emperor and the late empress were a young couple, and the emperor was not even the crown prince when they got married.

After going through all the ups and downs along the way, it only proves the saying that husband and wife are the closest and the most distant.

The emperor, who originally had no concubines, continued to fill his harem. Initially, it was to balance the power of various parties. Later, he began to be wary of the Di family.

As a great scholar of the time, Di Zheng had students all over the court, including those in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. Although he was incorruptible and low-key, he still couldn't stop the emperor's suspicion.

As the daughter of Di Zheng, Di Wanfeng is not a fool, so how could she not see what the person beside her is thinking?

The childhood sweethearts eventually became suspicious of each other, and even the emperor's eldest son was not from the harem.

Shen Weicang knew that Princess Qingyang and the late Queen Di Wanfeng were close friends, and he had curiously asked why the late Queen and the Emperor had been married for many years but had no children?

Princess Qingyang looked at her for a long time with a complicated expression, and then said with some sadness:

"Because during the years when she accompanied the emperor in seizing power, she had two miscarriages. Her health was not good to begin with, and she developed a chronic illness. That's why she couldn't get pregnant."

Perhaps for this reason, Di Wanfeng passed away shortly after Xiao Chongyu was born.

At that time, Di Zheng had not yet resigned from office and retired. He was very popular in the court. The emperor still had some affection for Di Wanfeng, so he made Xiao Chongyu the crown prince.

But as time passed, that little bit of insignificant affection between husband and wife had long since disappeared, and the emperor had become increasingly undisguised in his desire to change the crown prince over the years.

However, Xiao Chongyu had been hardworking and smart since childhood, and had never made any mistakes over the years. The emperor could not find any evidence against him, so there was naturally no reason to depose the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Shen Weicang felt that what the fool Xiao Chongling said was not wrong. Compared to him, Xiao Chongyu was more suitable to be the crown prince.

If the prince was Xiao Chongling, he would have been plotted to death long ago and would not have lived to see the emperor's death.

Thinking about how Xiao Chongyu had appeared in front of him from time to time since Tanming Temple, and looked at him with such eager eyes, Shen Weicang suddenly felt that if he chose Xiao Chongyu now, he might be able to avoid a lot of detours.

At least relying on Xiao Chongling to get rid of Xiao Chongyu is not very reliable.

But she was still afraid of that dream, worrying that one day Xiao Chongyu would go crazy because of Chu Mingyue. It would be a loss if he lost his life for the position of queen.

After much thought, she decided that she should make preparations for both scenarios.

On the one hand, Chu Mingyue and Xiao Chongyu must not be given the opportunity to get married, and it would be best if they don’t even have the chance to meet.

On the other hand, she can see who will have the last laugh between Xiao Chongyu and Xiao Chongling, and who is the most sincere to her, and then make a judgment.

As Shen Weicang thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up. She was really smart.

Seeing Shen Weicang finally smiled, Xiao Chongling, who had been trying to make her happy all the way, finally felt relieved. He thought his jokes had worked, and hurriedly hugged her: "Cangcang is not angry anymore?"

When did she get angry?

Shen Weicang was a little stunned, but she quickly got into the mood: "So in the eyes of brother Jing Wang, I am such a petty person. Do I get angry easily?"

Xiao Chongling didn't realize she was joking at first, and immediately explained anxiously: "In the eyes of King Jing, Cang Cang is naturally the most generous girl in the world. How could she be a stingy person?"

Shen Weicang couldn't help laughing when he saw his silly look: "Brother Jing Wang, you are so silly, just like a little silly dog."

Chu Mingyue happened to walk out of the woods nearby and heard these words, feeling contempt in her heart.

Shen Weicang is too spoiled. She is just a princess of a royal palace with a different surname. The Qingyang Palace now only has a fiefdom but no real power, but Xiao Chongling is a real royal family.

In her previous life, she had deeply realized from Xiao Chongyu that, regardless of whether they were favored or not, people in the royal family were born with an innate sense of pride.

She actually insulted King Jing in this way. She must have been flattered by two men and had lost her mind.

But Xiao Chongling's reaction was beyond her expectations.

He stood in front of Shen Weicang with an expression of great enjoyment, picked her up and spun her around a few times: "Little silly dog ​​loves to circle around Cang Cang the most!"

“Brother Prince Jing, put me down quickly!” Shen Weicang patted his shoulder in reproach, “You were supposed to be circling around me, but how come I’m circling around you now? And you actually called me a silly little dog?!”

"Ha ha!"

No one who heard Xiao Chongling's laughter would doubt that he was truly extremely happy: "Then Cang Cang pick me up and spin me around a few times, and I will spin around you, right?"

"You! Brother Jing Wang, you have changed. You wouldn't have bullied me like this before. How can I hold you?"

Xiao Chongling hurriedly coaxed, "Cang Cang can't hold me, but I can hold Cang Cang. I am not only Cang Cang's little silly dog, I am whatever Cang Cang says I am."

He hugged Shen Weicang, and the big man bent down and buried his head in her neck in front of the petite girl, and whispered something in her ear.

Shen Weicang's earlobes and cheeks flushed instantly, and he slapped his hand in a rather frustrated manner: "Brother Jing Wang, you have become bad, Cang Cang never wants to be with you again!"

Having said that, she started running.

Not until the two figures ran away did Chu Mingyue come out from behind a tree with an absent-minded expression.

Is this what being loved is like?

Thinking of Shen Weicang's charming appearance just now, she began to recall the years she spent in the palace in her previous life.

It seems that in front of Xiao Chongyu, Shen Weicang is also unrestrained.

Even though she knew she shouldn't think of Xiao Chongyu, she couldn't help but imagine what that cold-blooded man looked like when he fell in love with someone.

She had fantasized countless times about making Xiao Chongyu fall in love with her, and then humiliating him and trampling on his sincerity, just like he had done to her in her previous life.

But she sadly discovered that she couldn't even imagine what Xiao Chongyu would be like when he loved her.

"Miss Chu, are you enjoying what you see here?"

Chu Mingyue was startled by the sudden voice and turned around to see the Prince of Qingyang looking at her indifferently.
