The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 74 I want to divorce you

He Yao touched the ribbon hair accessories hanging on her shoulders.

She didn't know why, but the two people were clearly greeting each other, but she smelled a hint of danger.

Is it an illusion?

She put this feeling behind her and asked with concern: "The palace banquet has ended, why is Your Highness running around alone?"

"I'm looking for my sister." Yuan Chengbi said matter-of-factly, "I took some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from the banquet to give to her. I waited in her dormitory for a long time but couldn't wait for her. I was afraid that she would be abducted. , so I came out to find her, is there any problem?"

He Yao: "...No problem."

I always feel that this ninth princess seems to care too much about her sister.

It's almost like a pathological possessiveness!
She said kindly, "Let's look for it with you."

When the three of them were looking for He Chenzhu, they found a building in the Imperial Garden.

There are lights burning in Baoxia.

The two carved windows are open, and the late autumn fireflies outside can be seen faintly. There is a book table in front of the window, and a white moth comes in, gently stops on the green gauze lamp beside the book table, and flaps its wings slowly.

He Chenzhu, in a red skirt and white dress, sat quietly in front of the desk, her moon-like face was calm and fair.

A piece of pure white rice paper was spread out in front of her, on which the outlines of ink and wash were vaguely outlined, like a landscape painting.

She picked a brush from the pen stand, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about where to start writing.

"He Chenzhu."

A cold voice suddenly came from outside the window.

He Chenzhu looked up, it was Luo Qinghe who came, followed by Bai Ya.

She sat there motionless, "What's the matter?"

She couldn't even curtsey, and in Luo Qinghe's eyes, she was really arrogant.

He pressed his brows and eyes in displeasure, "When you see me but you are not polite, is this the He family's tutor? Or is this the rule taught by the empress?"

He Chenzhu stared intently at the unfinished painting on the rice paper, not paying attention to Luo Qinghe's harsh words, "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, you might as well get straight to the point."

Luo Qinghe was once again angered by her attitude.

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Boya gently tugged at his sleeve, "Cousin Qinghe, this is the imperial palace..."

Luo Qinghe suppressed his anger and stared at He Chenzhu, "I want to break off the engagement with you."

This was something he thought about for more than two months before finally deciding.

He Chenzhu was cruel and cruel and was not a good match for him, and he was not worthy of being the crown prince's concubine.

He plans to marry Xiaoya.

As soon as these words came out, even Bai Ya was shocked.

She has never thought of being a concubine, and she also knows that her status is not enough. Even if she does it reluctantly, she will not be loved by the Duke of Zhen and his wife in the future, and will even attract the hatred of the entire Luo family.

She looked at He Chenzhu in fear, and then at Luo Qinghe, "Cousin Qinghe, this... this is too sudden! What did Sister Shen Zhu do wrong, you want to treat her like this? A talented woman who is proficient in everything, no one else can match her, you shouldn't be so confused!"

After persuading Luo Qinghe, she turned to He Chenzhu anxiously, "Sister Chenzhu, please say something quickly!"

He Chenzhu didn't change his expression, "My son really wants to divorce. When my father returns from the border at the end of the year, I will ask my uncles and uncles to come to the door and let them solve the problem."

Luo Qinghe smiled, "I want to quit now, I can't wait until that time. He Chenzhu, the reason why you are resisting me is that you are reluctant to break off the engagement with me, right?"

He Chenzhu glanced at him indifferently.

She didn't like this man, not even half a liking for him.

but……

She said seriously: "Your Majesty really thinks that your marriage contract is only about you and me? Your marriage contract is an agreement between two families. Even if the engagement is terminated, the family should have the final say. You are in the middle of the family. You are no longer an ordinary gentleman, you have accepted the status and power from the family gift, and you should fulfill your obligations for your family. Such a simple truth, shouldn't I need a little girl to teach you?"

The girl sat under the lamp by the desk.

She is beautiful but cold, and the few strands of hair on her forehead are blown by the night wind, making her little face even more delicate and white as the moon.

She didn't need to make a pose, just sitting there quietly was far better than the moonlight tonight.

In the face of Luo Qinghe's making things difficult and contemptuous, his attitude has always remained cold and indifferent.

She never seemed to be angry, nor would she ever laugh and play like an ordinary girl.

Luo Qinghe suddenly realized at this moment that He Chenzhu didn't seem to take him seriously, and it was really because of family reasons that she refused to agree to the divorce.

After a long silence, he left with a cold face and rolled his sleeves.

Bai Ya hurriedly bowed to He Shen Zhu, "My cousin drank too much wine at the palace banquet tonight, that's why he uttered such nonsense, please don't argue with him, sister Shen Zhu."

After finishing speaking, he went to chase Luo Qinghe.

Being disturbed, He Chenzhu slowly put the brush back on the pen holder.

She raised her hand to rub her forehead, and a coquettish voice suddenly came, "Sister!"

Yuan Chengbi broke into Baoxia like a small animal, hugged He Chenzhu from behind, and rubbed her head lightly, "Once the palace banquet is over, my sister will disappear, so I can find it easier!"

He Chenzhu pushed him away calmly, "It's so late at night, what do you want from me?"

Yuan Chengbi held out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake as if presenting a treasure, "I secretly hid it at the palace banquet, thinking that other girls like it, and my sister probably likes it too."

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was hidden in his sleeve, and it had long been crushed.

He didn't want to take a bite, and his round deer eyes were shining with anticipation, "There are too many people at the palace banquet, which makes it annoying to get close to my sister. I thought tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I want to enjoy the moon and eat cakes with my sister."

Although he belongs to the royal family, he is poor and penniless. These pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are the best he can come up with.

He Chenzhu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Seeing her eating, Yuan Chengbi was immediately happy, so he ate a piece of it too.

He Chenzhu greeted He Yao and the others again, "Try it too."

Yuan Chengbi's expression became uneasy, and his voice became sharp, like a young beast, "This is for my sister, not for them! If they want to eat, they can go to the imperial dining room to ask for it!"

His Highness Ninth Prince looks so domineering...

He Yao has always been very afraid of her, and said awkwardly: "Sister, it doesn't matter if we don't eat."

He Chenzhu's pretty face was cold, "How did I teach you when I was in Chengye Palace?"

Yuan Chengbi said nothing.

He Chenzhu sneered, "Now that His Highness has left the Chengye Palace, I think there is no need for a courtier."

She stood up and prepared to leave.

Yuan Chengbi immediately grabbed her wrist tightly.

The girl's wrists were slender and white, and her skin was soft and moist.

He held it tightly, for fear of being thrown away by her, his brows were tightly frowned.

He whispered: "My sister taught me to be grateful to all the people who helped me. If there is something good, I should learn to share it with the people around me. What I should learn most is kindness."

"You remember benevolence, that's good." He Chenzhu still had a straight face, "So?"

Yuan Chengbi bit his lip, endured the embarrassment, and held the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of He Yao and Yuan Wang, "Please eat."
