Female Master: The Cold Prince

Just as the storm was about to come, Yang Guijun hurried over, knelt beside Xiahou Nuanxi, and took the order for her.

Xiahou Nuanxi couldn't believe it, "Father..."

Father, don’t you know that this marriage contract is her fate?

Yang Guijun looked at her with eyes full of pity. Can an engagement be more important than life?

Once she was charged with disobeying the imperial order, not only would her marriage be in jeopardy, but even her own life would be in danger.

As a father, Yang Guijun didn't ask for much. He just hoped that his daughter would be safe and sound. Everything else was just passing clouds.

Yang Guijun didn't know that the moment she accepted the order on behalf of the wise king, Xiao Hanyu's eyes changed completely when he looked at her.

Xiahou Shaohua was quite satisfied with Yang Guijun's sensible behavior, and immediately granted the marriage between King Xian and Xue Jianyun.

It will be after March.

Xiahou Nuanxi stood up and left the hall in a daze. Before leaving, she looked deeply at Wen Jueshang.

There was despair in his eyes.

Wen Jueshang looked back at her, with a complex look in his eyes.

There was still singing and dancing at the state banquet, and on the surface everything seemed harmonious, but secretly everyone had different thoughts.

From today on, the virtuous king will completely turn things around and marry a prince. From now on, she will no longer be a prince without a backer.

Xiahou Zhiruo wanted to crush the wine vessel in her hand and poured cup after cup into her mouth. No one could understand her feelings at this moment.

Liu Junyi sat next to Xiahou Zhiruo holding the child. Seeing her actions, he sneered in his heart.

Can't stand it?

Worse suffering is yet to come!

After the state banquet, the envoys of the State of Lu also embarked on their journey back home, and Xue Jianyun, because she was engaged to the King of Xian, lived in the King of Xian's mansion openly.

Who would have thought that after Xue Jianyun moved into the mansion, Xiahou Nuanxi rarely returned. She spent the whole day either with her colleagues or in the palace. In short, she was nowhere to be seen.

Xue Jianyun had never suffered such humiliation before. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the wise king and had no place to vent his anger, so he could only vent it on his servants.

The servants dared not speak out and could only swallow their anger. Even the wise king could not do anything to Xue Jianyun, so who else could they rely on?

For a time, Xue Jianyun's prestige in the Xianwang Mansion soared, and before the two of them got married, he had already secured the position of Xianwang.

That day, the servant who was in charge of squatting outside the courtyard came to report with a happy face, "Third Prince, the prince has returned home!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jianyun hurriedly put down what he was doing and ran straight to the front hall, just in time to bump into Xiahou Nuanxi who was about to go to the study.

"Your Highness." Xue Jianyun stopped her.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Nuanxi made a detour and continued walking forward, as if she didn't hear anything.

"Your Highness ignores Jianyun like this. What has Jianyun done wrong to Your Highness that you treat me like this? I am a prince of a country after all. Am I just like air in Your Highness' eyes?" Xue Jianyun was really angry.

She was just an unpopular prince, why should she treat him like this?

Xiahou Nuanxi's eyes were calm, with no extra emotions on her face, "Yes."

If it weren't for him, why would Shang'er not want to see her.

He was the one who caused all this, and she wished she could kill him with her own hands.

"You...!" Xue Jianyun couldn't believe his ears.

Xiahou Nuanxi didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so she just turned around and left without even going to the study.

Xue Jianyun was so angry that his eyes turned red, but he was powerless to do anything. The handkerchief in his hand was torn to pieces by him.

"Come here!" he said to the servant behind him.

The servant lowered his head, fearing that the prince would be angry. "What do you want to tell me, Third Prince?"

"This prince wants to ask you, was the virtuous queen not often in the palace like she is now? Or is she like this only after this prince came?" Xue Jianyun was unwilling to accept it.

The servant's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked terrified and didn't know what to do.

How should he answer this? Aren’t the facts right in front of him?

Xue Jianyun gradually lost his patience after not hearing the answer he wanted. "Answer this prince!"

"Third Prince, please calm down. I...I didn't know!" The servant immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

He can't afford to offend either side, he is really unlucky.

Xue Jianyun laughed angrily when he heard this, "You really don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know." The servant was so scared that he almost cried.

"Well, since you, a dog slave, don't want to talk, there's no need to keep your tongue. Come on, pull it out!"

Xue Jianyun has always disliked disobedient servants. If they want to live safely, they must be smart and perceptive and know who is the real master in charge of their lives.

"Ah! Third Prince, please calm down. I really don't know, I really don't know!" The servant's face turned pale and he struggled desperately.

Xue Jianyun didn't want to listen to his wailing and quibbling. He had already given him one chance. Who could he blame if he didn't cherish it?

"Drag down."

"Yes." Two palace guards stepped forward, one on each side held the servant, and walked towards a remote place.

"Third Prince, please spare my life!" The servant's miserable voice for mercy continued to be heard from a distance.

Xue Jianyun only looked disgusted, "What bad luck!"

Only when the surroundings became completely quiet did Xue Jianyun relax his frown and said, "Go, this prince wants to know the relationship between the virtuous king and Wen Jueshang. The more details the better."

During the time he lived in the palace, he always talked nonsense about the relationship between the virtuous king and Wen Jueshang.

I thought they were just in a simple engagement relationship, but I didn't expect that he thought it was too simple.

Lian Jin, the personal servant, said: "Yes."

After Xiahou Nuanxi left the palace, she unknowingly walked to the Prime Minister's residence. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't bear to leave.

"Please inform me that I want to see your young master and have something to say."

The guard was embarrassed, "This..."

The prince had once ordered that no matter how the wise king asked to see him, he would not see him.

Xiahou Nuanxi felt sad when she saw the servant's embarrassed look.

Previously, she was Wen Jueshang's fiancée and the prime minister's future daughter-in-law. Every time she came to the prime minister's residence, she was always respectful and attentive. She was not as humble as she is now.

"I only have a few words to say, and then I'll leave."

After all, he was a prince of a country, so the guards didn't dare to not show any respect to him. "Well, Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go into the palace to report."

In the inner courtyard, Wen Jueshang heard the guard's report, was silent for a moment, and finally agreed to meet.

Before leaving, she asked Rongze to take the jade hairpin with him.

Xiahou Nuanxi was invited to the garden by the servants. When Wen Jueshang arrived, he saw Xiahou Nuanxi staring at the green lotus in the pond.

After not seeing him for several days, the wise king looked much more haggard.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the King."

Hearing the voice, Xiahou Nuanxi suddenly came to her senses and instinctively wanted to step forward and hold the man's hand.

Wen Jueshang was startled by her behavior and immediately took two steps back, saying with a hint of displeasure: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

The words "self-respect" completely chilled Xiahou Nuanxi's heart.

Just a few days ago, they were enjoying the flowers and drinking tea together, and everything was fine.
