Chapter 666: Marriage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The unbearable memories of the past gradually dissipated.

Shen Luqing slowly opened her eyes. Her mood had already calmed down.

“Brother MO Zhu, you’re right. I’ve indeed changed a lot. In the past, I naively thought that you were my world. Every time I was stepped on in the mud, I expected you to appear but you didn’t.”

“Gradually, I understood a principle. I’ve always been alone in my world. I can only rely on myself. Only by making myself strong will no one dare to bully me.”

Xiao Juan said calmly, “You’ve indeed grown.”

Shen Luqing said, “Yes, I’ve grown.”

But the price of growth was too high. She had almost destroyed all her dignity and pride in exchange for her epiphany.

Xiao Juan said, “Since it wasn’t easy for you to have everything you have now, you should manage it well. Even if you don’t think for yourself, think for your own son. It’s not good for anyone if the two countries go to war.” Shen Luqing suddenly thought of something and smiled.

“You’re right. I really should think about my son. I heard that you and Yu Niaoniao had a daughter and were conferred the title of Princess Fu’an by the empress of Eastern Tang. Why don’t you send Princess Fu’an to the Chen Nation for marriage when she grows up? Let her be my son’s empress. This way, our two countries can become in-laws and not have to worry about war. How good would that be?”

Seeing that she actually had designs on Little Fubao, Xiao Juan’s face immediately darkened and he said coldly, “Don’t even think about it! Eastern

Tang will never have a marriage alliance!”

Shen Luqing was stunned at first, but then she laughed.

She laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes.

“Hahaha, that’s really well said! When Dayan asked me to marry, no one said anything like that to me. Father told me that as a princess, I have to fulfill my duty as a princess after enjoying the treatment of a princess. But why? Why do I have to fulfill this obligation?”

Xiao Juan was silent.

Shen Luqing laughed for a long time before gradually stopping.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her eyelashes were wet. She looked dazed.

“Why did it have to be me?”

Xiao Juan said firmly, “I don’t care what happens to Dayan, but Eastern Tang will never send a princess to another country for marriage in the future.”

Whether it was his daughter or Tang Guixi’s own daughter, it was impossible to give them to another country as a bargaining chip.

Shen Luqing sat there in a daze for a while before gradually coming back to her senses. freewe(b)novel.com

But she was no longer in the mood to continue the conversation.

“I’m tired. Go.”

Xiao Juan stood up without a word. “Goodbye.”

When he was about to walk out of the pavilion, he suddenly heard Shen Luqing’s voice behind him.

“Actually, I just wanted to chat with you from the beginning. I’m already the Empress of the Chen Nation. I can do whatever I want now. Why would I compromise and beg you to give me some love?” “Xiao Juan, I still love you. But I don’t need you anymore.”

Xiao Juan stopped and looked back at her.

At this moment, Shen Luqing had already wiped her tears, leaving only calmness on her gorgeous face.

She was the empress of the Chen Nation.

Shen Luqing looked at him steadily. “I hope you can remember what you just said. Eastern Tang will never send a princess away.”

Xiao Juan said, “Of course.”

Shen Luqing took out a letter from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

“Take this to Tang Guixi.”

Xiao Juan returned and bent down to pick up the letter. Shen Luqing leaned back and said lazily, “Alright, you can get lost.”

Xiao Juan turned around and left without hesitation.

At the foot of the mountain, Yu Niaoniao craned her neck to look up. Her neck ached.

She could not help but feel a little nervous. Why was he not back yet? Could it be that Xiao Juan was in danger?

Just as she was about to call someone up the mountain to take a look, she heard the sound of hooves. Right on the heels of that, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the mountain path.

It was Xiao Juan who had returned with the Eagle Guards!

Yu Niaoniao was overjoyed.

Great, they were all safe and sound!

Tang Guixi heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao Juan was fine. Otherwise, she would not know how to explain it to Niaoniao.

Xiao Juan dismounted and strode to Niaoniao.

“I’m back.”

Yu Niaoniao gave him a big bear hug before asking.

“The empress of the Chen Nation didn’t do anything bad to you, right?” Xiao Juan shook his head and said no.

Tang Guixi stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Did she really go through so much trouble to call you over just to see you?”

Xiao Juan took out a letter from his sleeve. “She asked me to pass this to you on her behalf.”

Tang Guixi took the letter and unfolded it on the spot, quickly reading it.

She laughed. “The empress of the Chen Nation said in the letter that the Chen Nation wants to form an alliance with the Eastern Tang. As long as this alliance is reached, there will be no more war for at least ten years.” Yu Niaoniao laughed too. “That’s a good thing!”

Ten years was enough for Eastern Tang to recuperate.

Tang Guixi clicked her tongue. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect our Duke to be so powerful. He brought back such good news as soon as he set off.”

Xiao Juan said calmly, “This letter was prepared by the empress of the Chen Nation long ago. It means that she has already decided to ally with Eastern

Tang. It has nothing to do with me.”

Tang Guixi still said, “But if you didn’t go to the appointment, you won’t be able to get this letter back.”

Xiao Juan said, “Even without this letter, the Chen Nation won’t declare war on us in the short term. The Chen Nation has just ended a civil strife and needs to stabilize people’s hearts. It’s not appropriate to fight anymore. Geographically, our Eastern Tang happens to be between the Chen Nation and Dayan. If the Dayan wants to harm the Chen Nation, it have to pass through our Eastern Tang. In other words, we’re a natural barrier. The benefits of the Chen Nation being on good terms with us outweigh the disadvantages.”

Tang Guixi could not help but say, “But didn’t you say that the Empress of the Chen Nation used to be the princess of the Dayan? She’s also from Dayan. She should be on good terms with Dayan. Why is she so wary of the Dayan?”

Xiao Juan told them what Shen Luqing had just said.

After hearing this, Tang Guixi finally understood the reason.

“The late emperor of Dayan was really ruthless. If it were me, I wouldn’t bear to give my daughter to such an old man as a wife.” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Yu Niaoniao sighed. “Back then, the late emperor of Dayan sent Princess Tao Ran to the Chen Nation to be the empress. I didn’t expect her to become the empress in the end. Could this be fate?”

Tang Guixi stretched. “Who knows! Let’s not care about this. Let’s go back first..

With a load off our minds, we have to have a good drink tonight!”
