Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 168 Fei Yan, You Should Be the Mistress

"Is Princess Honglian unwilling to marry? If so, I can go and talk to King Han, and perhaps I can change his mind."

Ying Jing took a sip of tea, a gentle smile on his face, sunny and warm, making people feel good at first glance.

Honglian hesitated for a moment.

She's not a child anymore!

Even though Han Fei and the King of Han were deliberately concealing it, she had already learned some of the current situation in South Korea.

She was there that day when Ying Jing called a horse a deer!

If her willfulness makes the situation in South Korea worse, that's something Honglian doesn't want to see.

Besides, she didn't dislike Nagatoshi-kun, and in fact, she had always had a good impression of him after meeting him at that banquet.

However, he hasn't had much contact with Ying Jing since then, and they haven't been able to take things further.

However, Honglian didn't care about that. Although she was still young, as a princess of a country, she was well aware from her upbringing that some things were beyond her control.

As long as you don't hate it, that's important.

"Do you hate me?"

Honglian suddenly parted her red lips slightly and asked.

Ying Jing looked surprised: "Princess Honglian, what makes you say that?"

"How could anyone in this world dislike a princess who is so beautiful, pure, lovely, and kind?"

Honglian immediately pressed, "Then why did you humiliate me like this? Am I only fit to be your concubine?"

When Lady Mingzhu and King Han explained this matter to her, they deliberately glossed over it, only mentioning that she would marry Changxin Jun.

But Honglian is just young, not stupid.

How could she not understand the difference between a wife and a concubine?

Ying Jing frowned slightly: "The King of Han only said that he wanted to marry Princess Honglian to me in order to maintain the good relations between the two countries. I agreed because I thought that the princess was charming and kind-hearted."

"Could it be that something went wrong on the King of Han's side?"

Honglian felt a strange joy upon hearing the initial praise, but when she heard the rest, she was filled with astonishment: "You didn't know?"

“I saw the documents with my own eyes at my father’s place. My father has always doted on me. If it weren’t for the Qin envoy’s request, why would he do this!”

Ying Jing's brows furrowed even more, and he murmured as if in doubt, tapping two fingers unconsciously on the table.

"Could it be... that someone is sabotaging this?"

Lady Mingzhu!

A name immediately flashed through Honglian's mind.

This woman has always been mysterious, which Honglian has never liked.

Aside from the King of Han, the only person in the Han royal palace who could interfere with her marriage was Lady Mingzhu.

"I'll go find my father right now!"

An unnamed fire had already risen in Honglian's chest.

How could she harm her like this? Madam Mingzhu is such a despicable woman!

They came in a hurry and left in a whirlwind.

Honglian's movements were extremely swift, without any hesitation.

"Hmm... Madam Mingzhu should be able to handle it."

Ying Jing touched his smooth chin. This was originally Lady Mingzhu's doing, so it was better to let her handle it herself.

"How could the master be so heartless as to cheat such a young girl like this?"

With alluring steps and graceful figure, Yan Lingji arrived with a smile on her lips.

Ying Jing showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and said without changing his expression, "Every word I have said is true, so how can you say I have deceived you?"

It was just a slight embellishment, a little concealment, a bit of guidance... that's all.

Yan Lingji tilted her head and glared at Ying Jing, then hooked her arm around his neck, sat on his lap with her plump buttocks, and snuggled into his arms.

She had always thought this man was ambitious and determined to achieve great things, but after following him out alone this time, she discovered that he was actually a shameless scoundrel.

But she realized it too late; she was already on this guy's pirate ship and there was no way to escape.

With her head tilted to the side, her delicate ear pressed against his broad chest, listening to his heartbeat, Yan Lingji felt an unparalleled sense of peace.

All the past events are like fleeting clouds; only by being with this man can one find new life.

"Even if she is truly licentious and unrestrained, Yan Lingji accepts it and will always stay by her master's side."

Ying Jing gently stroked the beautiful black hair of the woman in his arms. He could clearly feel Yan Lingji's attachment and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

The two embraced tightly, deeply in love.

However, on the other hand, Madam Mingzhu was having some troubles.

She bit her lip tightly with her silver teeth, as if she wanted to bite off some scoundrel's...

"You shameless bastard!"

Even with all the patience and forbearance Madam Mingzhu had cultivated over the years, she nearly fainted.

She had already gone to great lengths to help him, even going so far as to find him women and send Honglian away, and this scoundrel still caused her trouble.

"Honglian, this is a joint decision between your father and me. If you have any complaints, you are welcome to discuss it with your father. I will not stop you."

Learn from that scoundrel's method and just make an excuse.

Since the King of Han was completely under her control, it was best to let him take the blame.

"You're talking nonsense! My father has always loved me the most, how could he treat me like this!"

Honglian didn't believe a single word of what Madam Mingzhu said.

"Ho ho..."

Lady Mingzhu chuckled softly, then slowly said, "It is precisely because your father loves you that he is unwilling to let you become Lord Changxin's principal wife."

Honglian angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

“Honglian, you are now of marriageable age and no longer a child. You should understand that the current situation in Korea is precarious, and it is uncertain how long your father can remain on the throne.”

"Of course Lord Changxin can marry you now, but if your father loses his position one day, you, the princess of a fallen kingdom, will have no status whatsoever. Will he then divorce you?"

Honglian's face turned pale instantly: "No way!"

It's unclear whether she meant that Korea wouldn't perish, or that Jangshin-gun wouldn't do that.

Lady Mingzhu did not refute, and even nodded in agreement: "Although Lord Changxin is a womanizer, his reputation for virtue is known throughout the seven kingdoms. Perhaps it really is not true."

"But at that time, Honglian, wouldn't your status have hindered him?"

With a pale face, Honglian left Biqin Palace and went straight to Han Wang An's bedchamber.

But the result was the same; she still had to leave with a pale face.

On this point, Madam Mingzhu refused to budge an inch.

"We've already paid a heavy price; how can we let others reap the rewards?"

Lady Mingzhu was doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes sparkling with a smile as she murmured to herself.

however……

Posthouse.

“Miss Feiyan, I have observed the stars tonight, and you are fit to be the mistress of my mansion.”

Last time, they failed to pull back the opponent and fell into a disadvantageous position.

Let's be straightforward this time and give her a shock!
