Chapter 92: A ruined plan 2 (2/2)
He could never get a response out of her no matter what he did, it was like she didn't see him as someone worth her worries. He rushed up to her and holding her waist tightly pulled her to her feet. ”Just what game do you think you are playing, how dare you try to undermine me!”
Empress Lu Pulled her hands away from his and chuckled, ”undermine you, who me? How can I do that, please control your wild thought”. She walked around him and put some distance between them.
Emperor Zhong glared at her calm smiling face for some time, ”Are you pretending not to know why I am like this? You are quite good, you even know to act innocent. This must have been your plan when you invited my Elder sister to the capital”.
”was it?” Empress Lu shook her head ”you think too highly of me your Majesty. I never invited the Grand Princess, she came over herself. All I did was make a reasonable suggestion, the fact that she agreed is something great”.
Emperor Zhong slapped the free chair by the side, ”are you doing this to punish me for hurting your precious little nephew?”
Empress Lu stepped back ”What! No. I am just doing as you instructed. Didn't you instruct me to arrange a new profitable match for commandery Princess Xia Ying? Well, that is what I did, what is wrong my darling husband, You don't like her new fiancee?”
She laughed softly, ”you were mad that I was passing off such a great match to my Lu family is I decided to engage her to the crown Prince. That way keeping the power in the family, you should be thanking me for doing that and not storming in like I owe you money”
”You_” he pointed at her and sighed ”You must think that you have won the game but we both know that you didn't. I will make you regret this”.
” I will be waiting!!”
The Emperor glared at her for a short time before leaving, he ran into the other half of the Engaged couple on his way out of Jiangxi but pretended otherwise.

Until the day of the deadline, she was called to the main courtyard by her grandmother. Before she could seat down she was informed that her time had run out.
Grand Princess Ni'an poured her some tea and held It out to her, ”have some tea, this was sent over by the crown prince”.
Xia Ying brought the cup away from his mouth and asked ”is it a good idea to accept these gifts from the crown prince when we are not going through with the marriage”
”What makes you think that we are not going through with the marriage?
