Prince's Fierce Concubine

Baili Lianer glanced at her, and she immediately picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a big gulp. Only then did she swallow the fruit flesh that was in her throat.

Fortunately, this movement was small and normal, so it did not attract too much attention.

The empress continued to laugh as she spoke to the old emperor.

"For today's birthday banquet, that girl, Xueyu, has spent a lot of effort to practice the Ink Dance for a long time. She is obedient and beautiful, your concubine likes her the most, and now that she's almost in her prime, why don't you help her, your majesty give her a marriage?"

The old emperor looked at Lin Xueyu, and Lin Xueyu bowed gracefully.

"This subject thanks Empress for his good will, just that, this subject's sister, Princess Yuexi is not married yet, Xueyu does not dare to speak carelessly, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Oh …"

The empress smiled, suddenly understanding.

She looked at Lin Xuecha, frozen in place.

"That's true. It was my negligence that made me forget. This little girl, Xue Chuan, will be old in a few days, but she hasn't gotten married yet."

Lin Xuecha's heart tightened.

The empress's voice came steadily from the top of her head.

"Snow Tea, among the young talents present, do you have any candidate that you like?"

Lin Xuecha's hand that was holding the teacup trembled, and before he could put the teacup back in his hand, he stood up and replied.

The empress dowager, who had been silent all this time, also smiled and spoke first, Lin Xuecha.

"There are so many outstanding courtiers present, and all of them are from the Prince. How could that little girl, Xue Chou, not be a candidate for the tea?"

Lin Xuecha's deep eyes stiffened.

Words that he wanted to reject instantly died in his stomach.

An unfathomable glint appeared in the depths of Ninth Prince Su Nanxing's eyes.

He raised his eyes, his gaze congealed towards Lin Xuecha's direction, just in time to see the lady beside Lin Xuecha, looking towards him.

No, to be exact, he was not looking in his direction, but in his direction. Li Churan was looking in his direction.

As for the expression on Lin Xuecha's face, it was also extremely calm and tranquil. However, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and then formed a curve, his smile was like a flower's smile.

"Just as Empress Dowager had said, among so many court officials present, Your Highness Prince, there should be someone who would like the snow tea, it's just that …"

One of her words was immediately cut off by the Empress.

If you still haven't found a wife in a few days, when your father, the Marquis Anping, comes back, you can forget about our family. Today, we will set it as your choice.

The old emperor glanced at her and gave a heavy grunt. "I will listen to my mother."

Was this … forcing a marriage?!

Lin Xuecha's mind suddenly became a mess.

He was still able to remain calm a moment ago, but now, he suddenly felt somewhat apprehensive.

She did not know if it was due to instinct, but she could not help but glance in Su Nanxing's direction.

During this kind of banquet, Su Nanxing had always been silent and did not say much.

Right now, she was completely and utterly forced into marriage, yet he was still unmoved. His face was as calm as water, and there wasn't the slightest trace of superfluous expression on it.

That's true.

Didn't he say that if he interfered with her marriage, he would help her find a home so that she could marry!

Now that the empress dowager had forced her to marry him, it was exactly what he wanted. It even saved him a lot of thought …

How good!

While he felt sour in his heart, at the same time, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

She withdrew her gaze, and suddenly, a person in her line of sight stood up and saluted towards the center of the hall.

"This humble subject, Li Churan, was fated to be with the princess at such a young age and admired her for a long time. If the princess does not abandon me, this humble subject wishes to take her as my wife and pleads for your permission, Your Majesty."

All the women were shocked.

Lin Xuecha also raised his eyes in shock.

However, the one who had lost his composure the most was the girl sitting beside her.

The hand holding the teacup trembled, and upon hearing Li Churan's words, the teacup in his hand was immediately knocked over.

Everyone's gaze turned to her in unison.

Baili Lianer's face turned pale white, he immediately got up and apologized.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this tea is too hot, Lian'er couldn't hold it steady for a while, it scared the Empress Dowager Emperor and the Empress, please forgive me.

Li Churan glanced at her, and then retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Xuecha.

Empress Dowager snorted, and did not say a word.

On the other hand, the Empress was extremely friendly and kind, with a gentle smile on his face.

"There can't be a cup in any way. If it's broken, then it's broken. Just call for someone to take care of it. If you forgive me, then sit down."

"Thank you, Empress."

Baili Lianer bowed to her and then sat down in a daze.

Lin Xuecha's attention was distracted by this matter.

The empress dowager looked at her with a smile.

"Little Snow Tea, now that someone has stood up and personally asked the emperor to marry you, do you like him?"

Lin Xuecha looked at Li Churan and saw him smiling at her.

Her pitch-black eyes were instantly intertwined with many complex emotions.

Actually.

As the first daughter of the Marquis Anping, and also the one who had been personally conferred the title of Princess Yuexi by the old Emperor, she already knew that this would happen.

Even if the old Emperor promised her, she would decide her own marriage.

Today, she was the one in charge, no one forced her to do so.

However, the most headache-inducing pressure of all came from a mysterious force.

The royal family's methods were never limited to verbal promises.

If it was put on the surface, how could she possibly reject Li Churan?!

He was also a proud son of his generation, with a strong family background, outstanding literary talent, a first-rate appearance, and countless women in Capital City. She wanted to marry him …

If she rejected them, wouldn't she be drowned to death by the saliva of those women from Capital City who liked Li Churan?

Seeing that she was hesitating, the empress dowager opened her mouth again and asked, "Is the little girl, Xuecha, worried about something?"

Lin Xuecha lowered his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Snow Tea's reputation is ruined, I'm afraid she already isn't worthy of being Imperial Censor, Snow Tea..."

"Nope." Li Churan interrupted her words gently with a smile in his eyes.

"Regardless of how the princess had acted in the past, Churan would never take it seriously. As long as the princess is willing to marry Churan, Churan will never let her down, and will never let her down."

The so called love money was basically Li Churan's current appearance.

The girls who were not out of the pavilion, all looked at Lin Xuecha with jealousy and envy.

Lin Xuecha's heart strings moved, she did not care about the gazes, and after weighing the pros and cons, just as she was about to nod her head in agreement, a low and stern voice suddenly sounded out.

"She doesn't want to."

Lin Xuecha's mouth that was about to open, suddenly stopped.

When she looked towards the source of the sound, she saw that the owner of the voice had already stood up and was walking toward her at a leisurely pace.

Her Majesty's eyes darkened as she kept silent.

Crown Prince Su Jin squinted.

On the other hand, the old emperor smiled enigmatically.

"How would Lao Jiu know? Girl, you're not willing?"

Su Nanxing walked closer and closer.

When he neared Lin Xuecha, he could clearly see his own figure in those dark and cold eyes of his.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to that rainy day.

He was also looking at her like that, his gaze locked firmly on her. With a deep look in his eyes, he walked closer and closer, step by step.

Lin Xuecha's finger trembled slightly as he subconsciously retreated. However, his waist suddenly felt a heavy force, and was grabbed tightly by a force, causing him to be unable to move at all.

She raised her eyes and saw Su Nanxing's deep eyes staring at her, his thin lips slightly parted.

"She is Su Nanxing's only disciple, so Su Nanxing naturally knows what she is thinking about."

Li Churan frowned, his attitude sincere.

But, this is a matter between Churan and the princess. As the instructor of the princess, I am afraid it is still not enough.

The empress dowager looked at Lin Xuecha's expression, then looked at Li Churan, and finally looked at him and smiled.

Snow tea is coincidentally not by your side, but she still has a mother. However, your Royal Father has already thrown out the words to her a long time ago, regarding the marriage of Snow tea, she will decide it for herself. As her master, you can't meddle in her marriage so easily.

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, the atmosphere became abnormally quiet.

Baili Lianer sat beside Lin Xuecha. The veins on the man's hand that was buckled around Lin Xuecha's waist tensed up. From the looks of it, he seemed to be suppressing something.

She looked at Su Nanxing with surprise.

However, the expression on his face was exactly the same as before, light and relaxed, but his gaze was fixated on Lin Xuecha as he asked her that question word by word.

"Say, do you think This King has the right to decide the marriage for you?"

Lin Xuecha bit her lips, the glint in her eyes shifted, and she lowered her head slightly.

"A master for one day, a father for life. Your highness, you should …"

The strength at her waist suddenly increased a bit, pulling her into his arms.

Lin Xuecha did not notice, and walked forward a few steps.

She was well aware that her head had hit the hard chest of the man, making her feel dizzy.

With her waist buckled, she was locked in Su Nanxing's embrace.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened.

There was no need to look any further, Lin Xuecha could clearly guess how warm and ignorant their current position was.

She was also stunned for a long time.

Su Nanxing, is this, is this crazy?!

How dare he treat her like this in such a public place, was he going to pay the price?

The old emperor wanted her to marry him to begin with. If the old emperor made the final decision now, then he wouldn't have the chance to marry the one he loved.

If she knew that he wanted to reap the consequences of his actions, she would have continued rejecting his request. Why did she reject him?!

As Lin Xuecha was angrily thinking this, a voice that was so cold it made him clench his teeth, slowly floated down.

"A master for a day and a father for life. This King does not remember having a 'daughter' like you."

Lin Xuecha's body stiffened, "That is where the ancient people come from …"

"What the ancients said was a lie. Could it be that you also want to believe them?"

Su Nanxing's hands, which were wrapped around her waist, were almost pressed into her flesh, and his calm face looked exceptionally dark and cold.
