C224 person without a choice (1/2)
Mu Ru Yue felt a pain in her hand. She raised her head and saw a gloomy expression on her normally beautiful face. The unconcealable killing intent and tyrannical aura from her body made it hard for Mu Ru Yue to breathe.
”Phoenix Seep.” Mu Ru Yue whispered.
”I'm fine. There will always be a King of Japan who wants those people to … ” Feng Chen did not finish his words. Another voice interrupted him. ”Ah! How did this Linglong Palace become like this? I thought that I could let this young lady see the elegance of Princess Thousandleaf's residence back then, but it seems like it won't work now. ”
The one who spoke was the Fifth Prince, who desired to stir up trouble. When he walked in and saw Mu Ru Yue and Feng Zi standing at the entrance, he smiled and asked, ”Seventh brother, are you able to endure this?”
Feng Chen took a deep breath and looked at him. Without saying a word, she pulled Mu Ru Yue along, found a table, and sat down. It was as if nothing had happened. The Fifth Prince did not expect that Feng Chen would have such patience. He only felt incredulous.
”Prince, are you provoking the Seventh Prince on purpose?” The woman next to the Fifth Prince spoke up.
”Why does Zi Yuan say that?” This king was only speaking the truth. If it were anyone else, even the palace left behind by his mother would be ruined beyond recognition and they would all be angry. What's more, this person is actually the Phoenix Seep who has always been brutal? ” The Fifth Prince said with a faint smile.
”Prince's words are reasonable, but from the perspective of the Violet Garden, since the wood has already been formed, there is no need to care about it anymore.” The woman's attitude remained the same, as if none of these things could affect her heart. When the Fifth Prince heard this, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes.
However, she indistinctly whispered into her ear, ”Since that's the case, the matter of the crown prince choosing a wife has already been settled. It would be better for the Violet Garden to consider this prince. How about it?”
”You?” Nangong Zi Yuan looked at the Fifth Prince with disdain. Among all the princes, the Fifth Prince was the one that was the least obvious. The crown prince's status was honorable, and he'd been nurtured wholeheartedly by His Majesty. Third Marquis' personality was very similar to that of His Majesty's. In recent years, he'd been regarded with even more importance by His Majesty than the crown prince. The fourth prince had no heart for politics. He was intoxicated with the martial arts world and had long eliminated this power that was competing for the throne. The Sixth Prince stood behind him. He was being led by the Nalan Clan, one of the eight great clans.
Seventh Prince was like a god with his weapons. It was none other than the victorious general of the battlefield. Although he had killed far too many people, no one dared to provoke him. It was only the Fifth Prince who did not reveal everything. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was just waiting to die. She, Nangong Zi Yuan, was the direct descendant of the Nangong family. Why did she marry such a man?
”Don't refuse me so quickly, Violet Garden. Although this duke knows that I'm not compatible with you, you should know that you have no other choice. The crown prince had chosen Murong Xi, who was the most unlikely candidate, and sixth brother was sure to marry Nalan Ruolan off to his family for the sake of Nalan Yanran's reputation. Otherwise, no one would want to see the daughter of the Nalan Clan go home dejectedly after she failed to become the Crown Prince's consort.
Zi Yuan, you are too proud and arrogant. I believe that you won't get into any more trouble with your sixth brother and end up becoming his secondary wife, right? ”
The Fifth Prince's voice was very soft. As the two of them drew closer, they seemed to be very close. At this moment, there were quite a few people in the Linglong Palace. Those who occasionally noticed that something was amiss between the two, all had dubious expressions.
However, even though this was the case, Nangong Zi Yuan did not try to avoid him. Instead, the words of the Fifth Prince caused her heart to grow cold. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true.
”Of course I won't be small, the Nangong family cannot afford to lose others, I … ”I'm not willing either.” Nangong Zi Yuan's attitude was decisive. When the Fifth Prince heard this, he chuckled and blew next to her ear, ”Third brother has always been the most unpredictable. Moreover, his wife has long since been decided upon. Zhennan Wang's direct daughter, does Zi Yuan think he will keep you?
To ordinary women, today's selection is just a gamble, but to all of you, it is a choice. After today, the phoenix hairpin in your hand, will let you fulfill your responsibilities. And you, among the children of the royal family, have no other choice. ”
”Is the Fifth Prince thinking too highly of himself and looking down on our Nangong Zi Yuan? So what if he was mocked? At most, I won't marry. ” Nangong Zi Yuan gritted her teeth and said. His attitude was still as arrogant as before amongst the eight great clans.
What the Fifth Prince loathed the most was the attitude of the girls from the eight clans, who thought themselves to be more noble than others. However, he didn't show it on the surface and only smiled.
