The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss
Chapter 8 Your Life is Borrowed
999: [Because you and the original owner are both dead, your lifespans are both 0. Living for a month is a privilege granted by our system, so if you don’t complete the task within a month, your lifespan will be taken back.]
Rong Heqing: [……]
The capitalists all cried when they heard that one could still owe debts after death.
Concubine Lu and Rong Ji also gave some advice, and the princess's emotions gradually stabilized. She asked Rong Heqing to go back and rest quickly.
Rong Heqing insisted on sending the princess back before returning to his own courtyard.
The people in the yard have been replaced. The original owner's personal maid was replaced by two unfamiliar faces. When they saw Rong and Qing, they immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"I am a servant picking willows (pulling bamboos) and I am here to greet the princess."
Willow has an oval face, Bamboo has a round face, one is gentle and the other is cute, both look smart.
Rong He understood clearly that the maidservant was to blame for the original owner falling into the water, and it must be the princess's idea to replace her.
As expected, Zheliu and Wanzhu said that the princess asked them to come, and gave the indenture contract to Rong Heqing, saying that they would belong to Rong Heqing in the future.
Rong Heqing gladly accepted it and turned to sit in front of the dressing table.
She came and left in a hurry, and she didn't have time to take a good look at her body. She was busy digesting the information when putting on makeup. Now, when she raised her eyes and met the gaze of the person in the mirror, her eyes suddenly widened.
[Why do I look exactly like her? ]
The bright mirror clearly reflects her every smile, familiar yet unfamiliar.
Peach blossom eyes, crescent eyebrows, and two dimples that are faintly visible when she smiles.
The electric current made a slight sound, as if the system wanted to say something but stopped.
After a while, it smiled innocently, [It's still a little different, there's a small teardrop mole under her right eye. ]
Upon hearing this, Rong Heqing leaned closer to take a closer look, and there really was something there. It had been covered up by the powder she had applied before, and it wouldn't have been visible without a careful look.
[Alas, it's not easy to be out of character if they look the same. This is how our system selects people. ]
Rong Heqing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she was chosen among so many people to die.
Zheliu asked curiously, "Does the princess want to wash her face?"
Rong Heqing shook his head, stood up and stepped back to compare, and the heights seemed to be about the same.
She was in a trance for a moment - she couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or really traveling through time.
But when she glanced at the surroundings, she came to her senses again. This was ancient times and she had really traveled through time.
"Princess, the princess just had some new clothes delivered to you. Would you like to try them on?"
Wanzhu came forward holding a tray with three brightly colored skirts stacked on it.
[Host, please try it. I want to see it too. ]
Rong Heqing touched the smooth material and asked jokingly: [How can you, a system, be interested in a little skirt? ]
[Of course, loving beauty is a girl’s nature. ]
Rong Heqing's attention was successfully diverted, and he started trying one by one.
*
After a day, Rong Heqing had accepted the reality, but before going to bed, she still held on to one last unrealistic fantasy, hoping that she would be able to see her tablet and mobile phone when she opened her eyes again. At that time, she would have a big meal to calm her nerves.
However, fantasy is beautiful and reality is cruel.
The next day, Rong Heqing opened his eyes. There was no mobile phone or tablet. All he saw were antique ornaments.
Rong Heqing: ...
She really wanted to escape.
She felt uncomfortable when she thought about a world without fried chicken, milk tea, or spicy hot pot. Not only that, she also had to find a way to increase King Annan's evil thoughts. If she couldn't increase them within a month, she would have to visit the gates of hell a second time. She thought about this even in her dreams at night and couldn't sleep well at all.
She scratched her hair irritably and crawled darkly on the bed.
Zhe Liu heard the noise and knocked on the door and asked, "Is the princess awake? The Cui family is here."
Rong Heqing: "..."
"Can I not see you?"
She felt annoyed whenever she thought of Cui Er.
Zhe Liu said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it's impossible. The princess and the prince are waiting in the front hall."
Rong Heqing accepted his fate and got up.
Mrs. Cui and Lord Cui almost fainted from anger after finding out about the "good things" Cui Jiangliu had done.
I wanted to bring Cui Jiangliu to the palace to apologize last night, but the princess refused to see me after I submitted the letter, so I could only wait until today with uneasiness.
As soon as it was light, the family packed up and rushed over.
Rong Heqing, accompanied by Zheliu and Wanzhu, had just walked to the front hall. Before she even entered the door, she heard the princess's cold laugh from inside the hall, "I told you, this marriage is not negotiable, we must withdraw! Even if he breaks his legs, it's useless! Do you think my daughter is something you can summon and dismiss at will?"
Rong Heqing was stunned. The Cui family didn't want to cancel the engagement? Didn't they give Rong Russe to them? Are they still not satisfied?
[Of course I am not satisfied. Host, you are the daughter of the King of Annan, a princess specially appointed by the court. Your grandfather is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, your grandmother is also from a military family, your aunt is the Consort Xian, and your uncle is an official appointed by the court. What does Rong Rushe have? ]
That does make sense, but if they want to continue, they have to ask her if she is willing, right?
Rong Heqing quickly walked up the steps and said loudly, "Father, Mother, your daughter greets you."
Hearing her voice, the person kneeling on the ground immediately looked over with red eyes.
Rong Heqing didn't look at him, but walked straight past him and bowed to the two people sitting in the upper seats.
The princess immediately put on a gentle expression, raised her hand and said, "Come here, mother."
"Yes."
Rong Heqing walked over quickly and stood beside the princess, glancing at the couple sitting below.
The man had a beautiful beard, a thin figure, and a scholarly air. The woman had a pretty face and an elegant temperament. Even when she frowned, her beauty was not diminished. The two of them sitting together looked a perfect match. No wonder Cui Er was born with such a good-looking appearance.
"Meet Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui."
Rong Heqing greeted them in a calm manner.
Mrs. Cui froze and looked at her sadly, "Qing'er, you don't even want to call me aunt?"
Rong Heqing didn't respond, just looked at her with a smile.
Mrs. Cui was a little embarrassed, so she couldn't continue. All the words she had prepared were useless. She glared at Cui Jiangliu in frustration, "You were so good at speaking at home, why are you so silent at the palace? Speak!"
Cui Jiangliu stared at Rong Heqing in a daze. He knew yesterday that Rong Heqing had regained consciousness, but he left early and didn't take it to heart. When he saw him again today, he didn't know if it was because of his mood change, but he always felt that the person in front of him was a little strange.
Is this what she looks like?
"Why don't you apologize to the princess right away?"
Lord Cui was so angry when he saw him like this that he slapped the armrest and scolded, "How could my Cui family produce a scum like you!"
The King of Annan sipped his tea leisurely, unmoved, and the princess also looked indifferent.
Cui Jiangliu licked his dry and flaky lips, and looked at Rong Heqing with a haggard face, his eyes complicated, "Princess, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I have failed you with your sincerity. I am shameless and ignorant. I am sorry."
Rong Heqing lowered his eyes and looked at the princess. The princess said gently, "You have the final say on how to deal with me."
Rong Heqing nodded and stretched out his hand to Cui Jiangliu, "I said yesterday that this marriage is over. Please return the token, Mr. Cui. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other in marriage."
