Spirit Planter of Star Attack

"Your Highness...?" Yu Ying clenched the cup with both hands in disbelief, "Why? My father and I didn't mean to threaten you to marry me, but just hoped that you could get along with me... Could it be... ...doesn't that work too?"

She has been secretly in love with this person for five years, and has been waiting silently. She doesn't say much, and she is not forceful. Everyone knows her intentions, and they all think that from the perspective of family background, appearance, talent, and ability, she is a member of the younger generation. The outstanding ones are a match even for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is like the god of war in the empire.

Because of the arrogance of a noble girl and the pride of a genius S-level spiritual planter, she has always only silently appeared on occasions where Xiao Bai would appear, participated in the same activities as him, and protected Xiao Bai in every way, even if her father was a scheming man. Politicians insist on swinging between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince, neither will offend, and will never take sides, but she herself never conceals her own inclination, even if she is blamed by her father...

She always thought that she had done enough and worked hard to become a person worthy of Xiao Bai. Even in the face of family pressure, she chose to support Xiao Bai. She also thought that Xiao Bai would understand her heart and see her good.

But... Xiao Bai, what did he just say?

——This time inviting Xiao Bai to come out for a small sit together is because of father's intention.After the decline of the Bei family, which was the leader in the imperial spiritual planting industry two generations ago, the Yu family took its place.However, the fact that Bei Yan beat himself up and even broke the record of the imperial literary ratio made his father feel a crisis.

The second young master of the Bei family's direct line, at such a young age, can already break the record of the empire's S-level literary ratio?Although it is only at the level of mental power, as long as it is not for the huge difference between his manipulative ability and mental power, such a talented young man is definitely at the level of an S-level spiritual planter!Even the First World War attracted the attention of so many celebrities and nobles, and was appreciated by Mr. Xu to become his disciple!

With the appearance of such a character, the Bei family will probably take this opportunity to regain the position of the leader of Lingzhi Industry!After all, the Bei Family has a profound heritage, but there have been no outstanding Lingzhi masters in two or three generations. Now, once there is a successor in the direction of Lingzhi, its reputation and people's trust can be restored soon!

And this is definitely what the Yu family doesn't want to see.

Yu Ying remembered what her father said to herself with a frown: "Ying'er, we used to rely on our status as the leader of Lingzhi Industry to maintain a detached position in the political situation, but now, the situation may change. If the Bei family wants to recover, the crown prince will probably support them and even become allies. This is very important to us. It's definitely unfavorable. At a time like this... I can't say, I have to think about the Second Highness."

Yu Ying felt a little anxious when she heard it, but she has always been well-mannered, so she restrained her inner eagerness and frowned slightly: "Father, do you have to stand with the Second Highness? The Second Highness has a surly temper, and his ability is weaker than that of the Crown Prince. It's not a star, and the prestige is even worse, so it seems that it is not a wise choice to form an alliance with him?"

"Ying'er." The father's face looked very serious, even showing a little disappointment, "I know that you love the crown prince in your heart, which is normal, and the girl Huaichun naturally wants to aim at the best object. But you, as the head of the Yu family, are the only Your child, the future duchess, personal affairs must be placed after family interests! Have you forgotten how I raised you since childhood?"

"Ying'er dare not." She was startled, and immediately lowered her eyebrows and softened her voice, "Ying'er admits that there are my personal feelings here, but it is indeed from the standpoint of the family. Father thinks carefully "The Second Highness is not superior to the Crown Prince in terms of ability or temperament. He can't gain a foothold in the military and lacks competitiveness in the position of emperor. We are on his side. If the bet is over, we will probably lose everything." "

But her father patted her on the head and sighed softly: "Ying'er, you still don't understand. It is precisely because of his lack of ability that a big noble like our Yu family will support him. If the Crown Prince succeeds, relying on his ability and prestige , it must be said that one thing is true, when the political and military aspects are under his absolute control, what room do we have? The second prince has nothing to rely on, except for the emperor's preference, he has no advantage in seizing power, so we have to support He. Besides, the crown prince has solid personal strength and influence, but the second prince needs allies. We are on the side of the second prince, and he will pay more in exchange for our support."

Yu Ying had to admit that what her father said was very reasonable, but she didn't want to just give up - if she stood in the second prince's camp, there would be no possibility for herself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyelashes, and put forward a bold idea: "Father, although the crown prince doesn't like to see the powerful nobles, in order to stabilize his rule, he has to cooperate with some of them to weaken the rest. The majority. And we, why can't we become such an existence?"

Her father really understood what she meant, but his first reaction was to retort: ​​"No, this is not acceptable. This is a betrayal of the common interests of the nobles, and surrender to the crown prince by weakening the overall interests of the nobles. We will become traitors!"

"But, there is no eternal alliance, isn't it? Father." Yu Ying's young and beautiful face showed an almost cruel indifference, "His Royal Highness is strong enough, and his chances of succeeding to become the master of the entire country are far greater than that of the second prince." That being the case, why not make a more reliable investment? It is not wise to take greater risks for the benefit of the so-called 'noble community'."

"But how can you guarantee that the crown prince, who is personally powerful, won't use us to achieve his goals and take us who are already helpless?"

"In-laws." Yu Ying spit out these words between her crimson soft lips, her bright beautiful eyes can almost be called shining, "every queen will have power, but a wise emperor will not Leaving a notoriety that detracts from the wife's family. After devouring most of the great nobles, I think His Highness will still have to rely on some forces to control some vital industries." For example, Ling Zhi.

After staring at her for a moment, the father said: "But the premise of these is that you can let the crown prince marry you."

"..."

"Since it's your idea, then try it, if the crown prince can't agree. Then, put away your feelings for him, and recognize clearly that you are the daughter of the Yu family."

Under her father's serious and insightful gaze, she nodded, and in exchange for the help her father gave her - as long as Xiao Bai is willing to associate with Yu Ying, the Yu family is willing to limit the level and quantity of potions purchased by the second prince's allies .

For Xiao Bai, such a condition is simply a piece of cake from the sky - and Yu Ying and his daughter are based on their confidence in Yu Ying, they don't think that even an outstanding Yu Ying can't make Xiao Bai stop for it.As long as Xiao Bai develops feelings for Yu Ying after a period of dating, or is willing to become an ally in a political marriage just because of admiration, the benefits that follow will be enough for the Yu family to smooth out the dissatisfaction caused by this little loss.

Therefore, Yu Ying invited Xiao Bai to drink coffee in the name of the Yu family.

In the coffee shop, a retro drink shop with lush flowers and trees and absolutely reliable privacy, Yu Sakura in a champagne wrap dress interprets elegance and femininity in every move.She lightly raised the cup to her lips and took a sip, then greeted Xiao Bai with a smile, every word conformed to the standard etiquette, just like the perfect curvature of her lips.

After circling around for a while, the delicate girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were full of hesitation when she raised her eyes slightly: "Your Highness... Actually, Your Highness understands Yuying's hard work in the past few years, right? "

Seeing that Xiao Bai opened his mouth as if to say something, the beautiful girl gently stretched out her hand and made a gesture of begging him not to speak, her beautiful eyes were full of sadness: "Your Highness, don't say it, Yuying knows that you will say it as soon as you open your mouth." Rejection... Today's invitation is indeed too presumptuous, but it's not that I used the name of the Yu family, but that my father couldn't bear to see my inexpressible feelings, and encouraged me to come to you."

"... Yu Ying thinks that she is still outstanding among her peers, so she has the cheek to pray to His Highness for a chance to get along with you. If after dating, you still can't fall in love with Yu Ying, then Yu Ying can really give up. But now, you have never really understood me, and I will refuse me directly, I will not be reconciled." The girl's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were firm and unblinking, "Please give me someone to accompany you Three months, as long as three months! Get along like a real lover, if after this you still feel that Yu Ying is not the lover you want, I will no longer follow you and wait hopelessly... "

"...Father, I also approved of Yu Ying's idea." The girl turned her head slightly, showing a hint of shame, "He said, if His Highness can give Yu Ying a chance, then during the time you and Yu Ying get along, For a period of time, the Yu family is willing to limit the quantity and grade of their potion purchases for your enemies...for example...well, although they are related to you, but they are not very friendly to you. Yu Ying felt that father's statement seemed too utilitarian, but after all, it was his love for me, so...Your Highness, what do you think?"

The girl flashed her long eyelashes, and glanced timidly at the man in front of her.With a few words, the exchange of benefits and calculations have all become a beautiful love story of a young girl and the heart of a father.

But the man on the other side, who was wearing formal clothes even on weekends, looked a little cold: "Thank you, Ms. Yu Ying, for your kindness, I am really touched, but, I think, you deserve a man who knows how to appreciate and cherish you."

Yu Ying was stunned—she didn't expect to be rejected!Yeah, who would say no to that?A beautiful girl who is young and has admired you for a long time, and at the same time is accompanied by huge political interests that can be expected!

"You...you...why? I just hope to get a chance to get along with you, not that you must be with me all the time..."

However, Xiao Bai just slowly put the cup in his hand on the table, showing an elegant but polite smile: "Miss Yu Ying, I fully understand your intentions, and this is really very grateful. But, for different For people, feelings are different. For me, if I deliberately promote it, I will never achieve true love. Therefore, the three-month period is useless. I have known you for five or six years, and I have never been tempted. , even three months of getting along like lovers will not change the ending. I am very sorry. Ms. Hazakura is really one of the most outstanding girls I have ever seen, but she is either the best or the most suitable, I think the love that belongs to Ms. Hazakura will not fall on me."

His smile was gentle and polite, and his tone was sincere and expressed gratitude.So elegant and so gentlemanly, it perfectly protects a girl's self-esteem.

But, also so alienated, so polite.

The silver spoon held between Yu Ying's fingers fell into the delicate white porcelain cup with a clang.
