The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 237 I Have No Choice

In the end, someone sent Princess Yudie back to the post house safe and sound, and Wen Qian leisurely flipped through the newspapers from her servants in her own home. After reading it for a while, Chu Nanxiao came back from the outside up.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Recently, Chu Nan ran around in and out of the Tiantian Palace, and even Wen Qian found it difficult to see him in broad daylight. Today, he was a little surprised to see him come back so early.

"Are you guys with Seventh Brother today?" Chu Nanxiao didn't answer her question, but asked her the other way around.

"Yeah! What's the matter?" This matter was not something shameful, so Wen Qian admitted it without thinking, but saw his eyes change, so she hurriedly asked: "What happened?" Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing. It's just that when I went to the post house just now, the envoy of Yusheng Kingdom suddenly asked about the seventh brother. After I inquired about it, I found out that today you and the princess met the seventh brother outside."

Hearing what he said, Wen Qian immediately became interested, and quickly asked again: "Did the envoy ask you about the situation of the seventh brother? What did they ask?"

Seeing that she was so interested in this matter, Chu Nanxiao suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but looked at her and asked, "Qianqian, tell the truth, did you arrange what happened on purpose?"

When the person in front of her asked this question, she evaded her expression a little, and finally said with a little guilty conscience: "What did you say? What intentional arrangement? I don't understand what you mean by that."

"Seventh brother seldom interacts with people on weekdays. I heard from the servant who went out with you that he served as your guard for a day today." Having said that, he stared intently at the expression on her face.

"You are always protected by secret guards when you go out, and you don't need the protection of others at all. Could it be that you want to match the seventh brother with the princess of Yusheng Kingdom by doing that?"

He could see out her own thoughts, and Wen Qian no longer hid anything from him, because she was afraid that he would say that she was troubled again, so she laughed dryly at him and said, "Nan Xiao, why are you so smart? guessed!"

Seeing her admit it, Chu Nanxiao immediately looked at her helplessly: "Qianqian, why didn't you tell me first when you did these things?"

In the past two days, he was only busy with the envoy's affairs, and didn't ask much about the affairs of the mansion and Wen Qian. He didn't expect that she would arrange such a thing, and he really didn't know what he should say about her.

"It's not that I don't tell you, it's that I seldom see you these days."

"Really? Then why didn't you say anything last night?" They had a lot of time last night, but she only said that she would go out with Princess Yusheng to relax today, but didn't mention anything else.

Hearing him talk about last night, Wen Qian's face turned red, bit her lip and glared at him, saying: "You still have the nerve to say last night, did you let me have time to talk last night? When you are free , I'm too tired to say anything."

Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, then a faint smile appeared in his brows and eyes, he put his hands on her shoulders, and said sorry: "It's really my mistake to say that, I will definitely give you a chance to speak in the future .”

As soon as he said this, Wen Qian immediately gouged him out again.

This man really made her feel more and more out of control with him. At this moment, he was obviously playing tricks, but he was still so serious that people couldn't find fault with his words!
If this continues, I will be eaten to death by him!No, he has already eaten to death by now!

Since I parted ways outside Prince Xiao's mansion, Princess Yudie and Chu Chengxi haven't seen each other for several days.

Originally, she hadn't figured out how she felt about Chu Chengxi in her heart. After a few days, she couldn't tell whether the throbbing in her heart that day was because of him or because of the jade pendant.

This question has been entangled with her until the angel minister came to her and told her that they had been in Tianqi Kingdom for a long time and could not drag on any longer, and that the matter of marriage must be settled as soon as possible, which finally made her anxious .

"Princess, we have asked their emperor for instructions. The emperor will set up a practice banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow. At the same time, that is your last chance. At that time, many princes and nobles will enter the palace to attend the banquet. Please, for the sake of righteousness, the princess, Be sure to make a decision that day!"

The envoys' repeated pressure made Princess Yudie's heart tighten. She closed her eyes and hesitated for a long time in her heart. Finally, she opened her eyes and saw that all the envoys were still bowed and waiting for her reply. He clenched his fists and gave the answer.

"My princess knows! Don't worry! I will listen to you, and I will know what to do when the time comes." When she said this, a mist appeared in her eyes.

She had already made such preparations, but for some reason, she felt very sad in her heart at this time.

After the envoy left with satisfaction, she took off the jade pendant hanging around her neck and held it in her hand, muttering, "Aniang, what should I do now?"

On the day of practicing for the envoy of the Yusheng Kingdom, Wen Qian, as Concubine Xiao and Princess Yudie's friend, was authorized to accompany the princess into the palace, so that the princess could have a companion.

"Princess, I don't think your complexion is very good. Is there something uncomfortable?" Accompanying her from the posthouse to the palace, she didn't say much. Wen Qian felt that she seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked She said a word.

Hearing the concern of the people around her, Princess Yudie shook her head lightly, and when she was about to say something, a nobleman came over to say hello to her, but she had no choice but to swallow her words back and greet the young man first.

Today it is said to be a practice banquet, but in fact it is more suitable to say that it is a banquet for Princess Yudie to choose a husband-in-law, because apart from Wen Qian, who is a woman, the rest are basically relatives of the emperor, young and promising officials children.

They all knew that the main purpose of today's banquet was to choose the right person to marry Princess Yusheng, so all the people who came came over to greet her one after another, which was very annoying.

"Princess, the banquet hasn't started so soon. I know there is a quiet place! Let's go there first and come back when the banquet starts soon!" As she spoke, she took the princess's hand and avoided those people without a trace , to the garden outside.

When I came to the place Wen Qian said, the surrounding area was quieter, and no one would come to say hello again. Princess Yudie felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

"It's much more comfortable here than there! Thank you, Qianqian."

"Look at you, are you being polite to me again?" Wen Qian scolded her with a glance, led her to lower her head with a smile, and then asked again: "I see that you were very preoccupied just now, what happened?"

Hearing her asking about this matter again, Princess Yudie sighed heavily: "Hey! It's hard to say!"

"Use two words if you can't explain it in one word! Don't worry, it didn't start so soon over there. Tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you!"

Hearing this, Yudie glanced at her, shook her head and said, "You can't help me with this matter!"

"You haven't said anything yet, how do you know I can't help you?" Wen Qian looked indifferent, and after thinking about it, she asked her again: "Is it because of the marriage?"

Seeing that she had solved all the problems, Yudie hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Today's practice banquet is my last chance, if I still can't choose a marriage partner today, I have to leave .”

"Isn't that good? You didn't want to be left here as a bargaining chip for peace. You can go back after today!"

Wen Qian took this matter too simply. She thought that after the banquet, everything could end here, but she didn't know that this was a dead end for Princess Yudie.

"Qianqian, you take things too easily!" Princess Yudie looked bitter.

"I was sent here to be married. To put it bluntly, it is something that was sent out. How can I return it? If I go back like this, it will be something that others don't want. They can't tolerate me."

She refers to them, her father and brothers!If she married here, it would be with honor, but if she went back, it would be with shame and shame to the country!

"Then what will be the consequences if you go back like this? Could it be that they still want to kill you?" Wen Qian asked in surprise.

"It's not that I will be killed, but I will be locked up in my own palace forever, and I will never be able to go out again until I die of old age. The body cannot be buried in the family's ancestral grave, let alone a monument or tablet."

"This is too much!" Wen Qian was surprised by her words, and couldn't help but also began to worry about her.

If this is really what she said, if she can't choose a candidate for marriage today, wouldn't it be the end of Yudie's life when she goes back!Thinking of this, Wen Qian began to think of a solution in her heart.

"This is my fate. Either marry someone I don't like, or die alone in a courtyard. I have no choice." Her words are full of sadness and helplessness, which makes people unable to help I feel sorry for her.

"That's not the case! You believe me, fate can be changed! You still have that."

"Oh! Why did you come here, princess? The banquet is about to start, hurry up and go back inside with us!"

Before Wen Qian finished speaking, Princess Yudie's maid came over and interrupted what she wanted to say, and then stood beside the princess from left to right, persuading her to go back to the banquet.

Seeing her being brought in like this, Wen Qian couldn't help feeling pity for her.

After standing there helplessly for a while, she was about to go in, but just as she moved her footsteps, she saw two familiar figures approaching not far ahead.
