The Princess Seeks Money: The Empress of the Unparalleled Kingdom

Chapter 29 Responsibilities
"Very expensive?" Shang Huaisu said disapprovingly, "Jian'er is the most precious existence in this world. For you, everything is worth it?!"

Jiang Duruo couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Shang Huaisu in a dazed way, and couldn't help guessing how much sincerity he said, and how much falsehood.

Shang Huaisu also looked at Jiang Duruo, his eyes were open and frank, and his expression was extremely firm and serious.

Jiang Duruo couldn't help trembling in her heart, and then she quickly covered it up: "Don't think that I will believe you if you say a few sweet words, I have heard much more good things than you!"

Shang Huaisu grabbed Jiang Duruo's hand and said solemnly: "Jian'er, I am serious. For you, I will do whatever it takes. I only hope that if you have me in your heart, you will not push me away mercilessly!"

"Hmph!" Jiang Duruo hurriedly avoided Shang Huaisu's gaze. She didn't dare to look at him, fearing that her mind would be leaked, so she sneered and covered it up: "Don't think too much, I don't have you in my heart, I'm sure of you." As I said, there is nothing between you and me other than transactions!"

Shang Huaisu looked a little hurt, he said desolately: "Jian'er, I don't know what secret you have, but if possible, I hope I can help you."

Jiang Duruo suddenly became alert, looked coldly at Shang Huaisu and said, "What do you know?"

Shang Huaisu smiled wryly: "So, you do have some secret!"

Jiang Duruo froze, and couldn't help saying annoyed: "You test me!"

"Jian'er, are you only so wary of me, or are you so wary of everyone? You should be very clear. I don't mean that. I'm a person with normal logical thinking. Think about things like this I can understand why I want to test you, what good is it for me to test you? Will you fall in love with me because of this, and will you marry me willingly?" Shang Huaisu said helplessly.

Jiang Duruo couldn't help but froze, and then he realized that what Shang Huaisu said was right, she was indeed too vigilant, and she was a little bit like an enemy.

"No matter whether you know anything or not, and no matter what you think of me, I just want you to understand that there is no possibility between us, so give up!" Jiang Duruo said with a dark face.

Shang Huaisu did not give up and said: "Even if you say so, I will still not give up. Even if you are the ice of a thousand years, I have the confidence to melt you."

"As you please!" Jiang Duruo didn't bother to talk to him any more, turned around and strode forward.

Shang Huaisu didn't catch up, but looked at Jiang Duruo's back with some distress and helplessness.

"Your Highness..." The guard beside Shang Huaisu couldn't help hesitatingly speaking.

Shang Huaisu suddenly came back to his senses, couldn't help frowning irritably, and said in a deep voice, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Yes!" The guard responded respectfully, and said, "According to my subordinates' investigation, Princess Qi Ru has been looking for Guan Cangyue not for a day or two, but for...five years!"

"Five years?" Shang Huaisu was a little surprised. Zhong Lifang was only a 12-year-old girl five years ago. Don't say that Guan Cangyue is not well-known now, let alone at that time. How could Zong'er be with him? There are relationships?

The more Shang Huaisu thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help but ordered: "Go and find out, is there any major incident in Yuguo 12 years ago, especially related to Princess Qiru."

The guard hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Shang Huaisu looked at the back of Jiang Duruo who was almost invisible in the distance, and suddenly smiled firmly, "Jian'er, no matter what the secret is, I will definitely know it.

When Jiang Duruo came to the dinner party, all civil and military officials and foreign guests had already arrived, and all of them were seated. She subconsciously wanted to find an inconspicuous corner to sit down, but was pulled to her by the fourth sister Zhong Liyun .

"I know you don't like excitement, but you know very well that the protagonists tonight are you and the Third Highness of the Hua Kingdom, you can't escape!" Zhong Liyun couldn't help but whispered in her ear.

Jiang Duruo rolled his eyes helplessly, and sighed, "Fourth Sister, you really don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. I've already agreed to marry you, and you can't end up clean. You are too unfeeling to be an older sister!"

Zhong Liyun looked at Jiang Duruo's reluctance, and couldn't help but sighed: "Fifth sister, I know that marrying far away and going to Huaguo will really hurt you, but as children of the royal family, what can we do? Since we all The decision has been made, why not do it better?"

Jiang Duruo rolled his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "Come on, I'll sit next to you if a good person does it to the end, so satisfied!"

Zhong Liyun patted her on the shoulder and said with distress: "Actually, my sister knows that you don't want to. To be honest, if it wasn't for the Third Highness of the Hua Kingdom to ask you to marry me, I really have my heart for you..."

"Okay! Fourth sister, we grew up together, don't we understand each other's temperament?" Jiang Duruo interrupted her and said, "I know my sister's, you don't have to feel guilty, in fact, we both know it very well, even if the other party doesn't It is the best choice to appoint me, and I will go, both are sons and daughters of the royal family, and my sister has the spirit of sacrificing her life for righteousness, how can she be selfish and shrink back as a younger sister."

"Jian'er, you've really grown up!" Just as Jiang Duruo finished speaking, Zhong Lishu, the eldest princess of Yu Kingdom, walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Father and we will be proud of you!"

"That's right, Fifth Sister, Brother Huang is proud of you!" Zhong Lisang couldn't help but pat Jiang Duruo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Jiang Duruo smiled bitterly, even though there was too much helplessness and reluctance, some responsibilities cannot and cannot be avoided.

"Don't make me feel like I'm going to die heroically, okay!" Jiang Duruo couldn't help joking, the sadness that permeated between the brothers and sisters disappeared instantly because of her seemingly joking words.

"Yes! Brothers and sisters, please don't worry, I will treat Fang'er wholeheartedly, and I will definitely treat her as a treasure!" At some time, Shang Huaisu also arrived at the venue, and suddenly appeared from behind Jiang Duruo, reaching out to hug her On her shoulder, solemnly said.

"Third Highness!" Zhong Lishu and the others greeted Shang Huaisu politely, but their eyes were fixed on his hand on Jiang Duruo's shoulder with some puzzlement.

Annoyance flashed across Jiang Duruo's face, she unceremoniously shook off Shang Huaisu's hand, and said angrily: "I said you are not only shameless, but also very blind, we brothers and sisters Let's have a good chat together, what are you doing as an outsider!"

Faced with Jiang Duruo's panic, Shang Huaisu was not angry, but smiled and said: "Jian'er is wrong, you and I are married, so I am naturally your insider, how can I be an outsider? Believe in the others Brother and sister, do you think the same as me?"

Zhong Liyun and the others looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Exactly!"

Shang Huaisu looked at Jiang Duruo proudly, and said with a rascal smile: "How? You see, all the brothers and sisters agree with me!"

Jiang Duruo couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, and wanted to tell him to stay cool, but was interrupted by Zhong Lishu first.

"Fifth sister, how can you talk to the third highness like this, have you forgotten the etiquette of our country Yu?"

Jiang Duruo couldn't help curling her lips. The brothers and sisters now, in front of Shang Huaisu, will definitely take into account the face of their own country, and will definitely stand by Shang Huaisu's side. Showing a half-hearted smile, he bowed and said, "But your Highness made atonement, it's because of your impoliteness!"

Shang Huaisu smiled triumphantly, quickly helped her up, and said with trepidation: "What are you doing, Fang'er, for my prince, Fang'er is always good!"

Jiang Duruo gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to hit someone, and said with a sneer: "Then, please ask your Highness, Can Er want to say goodbye to the royal brothers and sisters, can you please wait a moment? "

Shang Huaisu raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "That's natural, please do it!" He nodded to the others, turned and left.

Jiang Duruo couldn't help cursing at his back: "Shameless!"

Zhong Lishu and the others couldn't help but glanced at each other, with a flash of doubt in their eyes, Zhong Liyun couldn't help asking: "Fifth Sister, is there any misunderstanding between you and the Third Highness?"

Jiang Du Ruoqiang pulled out a smile, and said: "No!" She was afraid that her brothers and sisters would see the clue, so she couldn't help but hurriedly retreated: "I'll go talk to Father!"

Jiang Duruo ran away as if he was running away, and the remaining few looked confused.

"Father, I wish you a happy birthday. Your life is longer than the South Mountain, and your happiness is as good as the East Sea!" Jiang Duruo came to the Emperor Yuguo, knelt down respectfully, and respectfully celebrated his birthday.

Seeing Jiang Duruo coming, Emperor Yuguo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, but seeing that she was wearing plain clothes, which were still the ones that celebrated her birthday during the day, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to wear them?" Is it more grand? Why are you still so elegant?"

Jiang Duruo stood up involuntarily, and said indifferently: "Father, your daughter is naturally beautiful, and the more she wears plain clothes, the more she can show her true national beauty! What do you think?"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yuguo couldn't help retorting, but his tone was brisk, obviously not angry, and then he said Jiang Duruo pulled him in front of him, and said dotingly: "Father, Father is ashamed of you..."

"Father!" Jiang Duruo hurriedly interrupted him, feeling a little guilty. If she returned to modern times in the future, what would Yuguo do?But she also had her own helplessness, so she had no choice but to comfort him and said: "There is no need to say anything superfluous, my father has loved me for so many years, and it is time for Jian'er to repay me. Besides, we are father and daughter, and we keep everything in our hearts. If you come out, you will be divided."

Emperor Yuguo nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zang'er is the most sensible and sensible, worthy of being Princess Qiru of my Yuguo, worthy of being the favorite daughter of my father, go and see it with your sisters. Let's perform, when you go to Huaguo, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hear the local accent."

Jiang Duruo nodded, stepped back respectfully, found a seat and sat down, ate the snacks in front of him one after another, and was bored when he suddenly heard a report: "To congratulate His Majesty Yuguo on his birthday, Nan Princess Huiyi of Zhiguo presents a dance from the charming girls of Nanzhi Kingdom, wishing His Majesty the Emperor of Yuguo a long life and prosperity in the sky!"
