Chapter 234 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 3

Qingyu never expected her father to be so willful. She had thought that the Emperor would arrange a marriage between her and Rong Jinnian, but she never expected the latter to be so casual about Rong Jinnian.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly, feeling inexplicably comfortable.

The laughter was so abrupt that it drew everyone's attention.

Qingyu was not intimidated and jokingly said with a smile, "This princess thinks Father is right. Since Miss Shao is the one destined for you, Your Highness should cherish her."

Rong Jinnian's expression immediately turned ugly. He stared intently at Qingyu, trying to see her true expression through the veil, and said unwillingly, "Actually, it's just a pigeon. It's the pigeon that's destined for Miss Shao, not me."

Qingyu just smiled and remained silent.

At this moment, Shao Mingyu, standing to the side, bowed gently and said in a soft voice with great courage, "Your Highness is of noble birth, and this pigeon must be no ordinary creature. It is fate that I was able to obtain this pigeon. I dare not presume to be worthy of Your Highness, but Your Highness's refusal, could it be that you dislike me?" Shao Mingyu was truly unwilling. As the most beautiful woman, she had never failed, and she could guess some of Emperor Chen's thoughts about this visit.

For example, any man who is in love with her must not have any entanglement with Princess Qingyu.

Ultimately, she was a shield that Emperor Chen had found, so she wanted to act a little more freely.

Shao Mingyu was already beautiful, and as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked on the verge of sobbing.

Seeing this, the young masters, who already had their own thoughts, felt a pang of sympathy and began to whisper among themselves.

Rong Jinnian was a little embarrassed; he hadn't expected Shao Mingyu to say that.

I suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

Qingyu, however, was secretly delighted. She didn't know how she had handled things in her previous life, but at this moment she just wanted to see how Rong Jinnian would end things.

Rong Jinnian took a deep breath and bowed to Shao Mingyu with a respectful but firm expression, saying, "Miss Shao, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant... I just wanted to give the princess a surprise... but the beast just wouldn't listen. Since this pigeon likes you, I'll give it to you."

His words were quite blunt, and to Shao Mingyu, they sounded like he was insulting her.

But she had already spoken up boldly, and the other party was of high status. Even if she was stupid, she knew she couldn't say anything more.

Shao Mingyu lowered her head, looking disappointed, and gave a slight curtsy, saying, "Your Highness is right. I was being presumptuous."

After speaking, she sat down gracefully.

Rong Jinnian then looked at Qingyu again, his eyes filled with a complex expression, as if he wanted to say something. However, Qingyu raised an eyebrow, looked away, and gave an expression that indicated he did not want to say anything more.

At the head of the table, Emperor Chen glanced at the group, his eyes holding an unreadable expression. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. Let's continue the music and drinking, and not waste this wonderful evening!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and looked at the chief eunuch beside him. The latter understood immediately and went to make the arrangements.

Before long, rows of dancers came on stage, singing and dancing.

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere became subtle.

Qingyu appeared to be leisurely enjoying the wine, but in reality, she was secretly observing Rong Jinnian's every move.

The more I look, the more...

bother!

She considered herself a lady, but at that moment she wanted to hit someone.

Rong Jinnian, feeling frustrated, knew he couldn't find a reason to approach Qingyu anymore, so he excused himself, saying he wasn't feeling well.

As Qingyu watched him leave, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She subconsciously glanced at Shao Mingyu, who was not far away.

According to the melodramatic plot, this person should also be leaving.

Sure enough, the latter also quietly left the room.

Qingyu chuckled softly and whispered to the maid beside her, "Go and send someone to check on Miss Shao."

The maid was surprised and immediately withdrew.

A short while later, she returned with a strange expression and whispered, "Princess... Miss Shao seems to know His Highness the Prince..."

He hesitated to finish his sentence, which piqued Qingyu's interest, and she casually dropped the wine cup from her hand onto her skirt.

Then she gracefully got up, making an excuse to go change her clothes. Emperor Chen nodded with a smile, watching her leave, and began to make plans in his mind.

None of them are good enough for his daughter; he needs to think about it carefully.

Following the maid's directions, Qingyu walked deep into the garden. The maid was extremely nervous, constantly stealing glances at Qingyu's expression. Finally, she quickly grabbed Qingyu's arm, "Princess, we've arrived..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyu followed her gaze and saw Rong Jinnian and Shao Mingyu standing opposite each other.

The latter was now somewhat heartbroken, looking at the man before her with tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Highness, were you lying to me back then?"

Rong Jinnian rubbed his temples, feeling irritated, but he had to suppress his agitation and explained, "I don't know what I said that caused Miss Shao to misunderstand, but Miss Shao is a jewel of the city, and must be dazzling. It's just that we have different paths and cannot accompany each other, Miss Shao..."

“I can wait!” Shao Mingyu interrupted Rong Jinnian anxiously. Her eyes were full of affection as she said, word by word, “I know Your Highness has lofty ambitions. Mingyu can wait. I only hope that Your Highness will not forget Mingyu.”

As she spoke, she untied the sachet from her waist, blushed, and handed it to Rong Jinnian, saying, "This is something I embroidered. It helps to calm the mind. I hope Your Highness can have a good night's sleep."

She seemed extremely nervous; without waiting for Rong Jinnian's reply, she ran off in a flash.

From afar, Qingyu could still see the complex and hesitant expression on Rong Jinnian's face.

She mentally sentenced Rong Jinnian to death.

What a scumbag! He's always looking for something better.

Qingyu suddenly had an idea and dragged the system out of her mind, "Did I know about this in my past life?"

The system scratched its head. "I didn't know at first that you'd fallen for him..."

Qingyu's face darkened. Had she really been so love-struck?

As expected, people don't listen to what others teach, but they learn from experience. Her mind should be much clearer now, right?

Thinking of this, Qingyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Your Highness and Miss Shao are in love. Would you like me to ask for a favor on your behalf?"

Her voice rang out abruptly, and Rong Jinnian's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw that it was her. He was stunned at first, then his expression changed. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and say, "Is the princess here to laugh at me?"

He gripped the sachet tightly in his hand, regretting for the first time his previous recklessness in provoking women.

How should we explain this now?

Qingyu gently shook her head, "Your Highness is overthinking it. I just came out for some fresh air."

Rong Jinnian was speechless, wanting to explain but not knowing how to begin, and the two remained silent for a moment.

"Your Highness? Your Highness? What are you two doing here?"

Someone is here again?

Qingyu turned to look at the person who spoke—and found that there were two more people, namely Sanye and Li Mo.

The two seemed to have a good relationship; one was a scholar and the other a warrior, and they stood together harmoniously.

She nodded slightly. "What brings you two gentlemen here?"
