Chapter 1386: Backing
Xiao Jingyu"s face turned pale when she heard the Emperor"s stern shout.
She didn"t know what happened just now. She felt like she couldn"t control herself!
Now that she had calmed down, she felt a chill down her spine!
She was actually scolding the princess of the Guguo, who was of a higher status than her, in public. No country"s monarch would allow anyone to scold the royal family.
Even if Lin Yuelan was not a member of the royal family, she had already been adopted by the Emperor and was conferred the t.i.tle of Princess Gu. Therefore, it was no longer important whether she was born into the royal family or not. What was important was that she was now a member of the royal family!
No matter who it was, including foreign guests, insulting a royal heir was insulting the entire royal family and damaging the dignity of the family.
Although the Black Clouds Kingdom was the strongest country among the six countries, in the past ten years, the Black Clouds Kingdom had not been as strong as the Longyan Kingdom.
They would talk smack about Longyan Kingdom back at home. But she was in his territory!
Xiao Jingyu was stunned. For a moment, she did not know how to react.
She was stunned again.
How did things turn out like this?
It used to be a very elegant talent compet.i.tion, but now it had become a brothel prost.i.tute performing. This kind of vulgar art.
She clearly only wanted to use her advantage to suppress Lin Yuelan, the person she hated. Why did she suddenly curse Lin Yuelan?
All of this seemed to be beyond her expectations!
Xiao Jingyu stood in the middle of the venue in a daze!
Xiao Jingrui put down the wine gla.s.s in his hand and looked at Lin Yuelan. On his sinister expression, there was an unclear smile.
His cold and stern voice rang out in the venue.
He said," I"ve long heard that the princess of the Guguo is eloquent and extremely intelligent. When you scolded Jiang Zhenye in the Duke"s Mansion, you used your own strength to refute the Third Prince. Not only did you not slander him, but you also made the Third Prince apologize to you. With a glib tongue, the wife of the Zhengguo Duke. After being scolded, she was unable to speak. With a glib tongue, the Jiang siblings dared not speak up against you. Now, with just a single mouth, you have repeatedly frightened this prince"s royal sister to the point that she can only lower her head and apologize! Princess Guguo, you"re really smart. You"re really eloquent!"
Xiao Jingrui didn"t want to say anything earlier, but once he opened his lips, he uttered so much. Moreover, hearing him mention the matter of Zhengguo Duke"s Mansion meant that he had investigated Princess Lin Yuelan.
It seemed that he had come prepared!
Jiang Zhennan listened and frowned slightly. Then his sharp eyes shot directly at Xiao Jingrui. The expression in his eyes was unclear, but soon he turned his eyes to the person beside him and became gentle as water.
Lin Yuelan listened to Xiao Jingrui"s words and also frowned. She didn"t know why Xiao Jingrui suddenly mentioned the past.
But she knew very well that Xiao Jingrui"s purpose was to get the gold mine and iron mine drawings in her hands.
Lin Yuelan asked indifferently," I wonder why the Second Prince is telling me all this? Could it be to tell this princess that you investigated me?"
Yuwen Longyan listened to the conversation and frowned.
The Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom seemed to have other intentions.
Let"s see what he"s going to do!
Xiao Jingrui"s expression was cold, and he smiled faintly." Princess Guguo, you must be joking. Why would I investigate you? Your stories have spread all over the Imperial Capital. Even if this prince doesn"t want to hear it, U have no choice but to!"
Lin Yuelan"s expression turned cold as she said sternly," Don"t talk about those empty words. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Since he had investigated her, it meant that he had come there with a purpose.
Xiao Jingrui didn"t immediately answer Lin Yuelan, but his eyes swept across the center of the venue, and he said with a dignified tone," Get back!"
Xiao Jingyu knew that Xiao Jingrui was talking to her.
She glanced at Lin Yuelan. Her gaze was filled with unwillingness and even anger.
However, under the dignified expression of Xiao Jingrui, she returned to her seat.
Then Xiao Jingrui looked at Lin Yuelan and said to her without hiding," Princess, I like you very much. If you marry me and become my wife, I promise you that I will only have you as my main wife for the rest of my life!"
Many men only had one wife, except for the emperor.
Before the emperor ascended the throne, he only had one wife, which was his first wife, the crown prince"s concubine or the prince"s concubine. The other women were either side concubines or women without status.
However, once they ascended the throne, other than the first wife, the other concubines would also become the emperor"s wives.
So, Xiao Jingrui was promising Lin Yuelan that if he ascended the throne, she would be the mother of the world!
How tempting was this?
Xiao Jingrui"s words immediately surprised everyone present!
