Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"Hey, system, do you also provide a popular system?"

Xia Zhiyuan felt that the current situation was a bit ridiculous. She couldn't ask for the additional services of the Charm of Charm system. This was not her main task. The side quest was a bit too crooked.

In other words, Xia Zhiyuan suspected that the system was finding ways to make things more difficult for him.

"Dear host, we don't have this business. As a qualified system, I would like to give you a sincere advice. Please do not play both sides. Otherwise, you will be struck by lightning and die an ugly death~"

"According to the records in the system, up to now, more than 8,000 people have been treated in a morbid way by their targets because of two-timing."

"In other words, if you, my dear host, do not want to be imprisoned and tied up, then please do not provoke too many irrelevant supporting characters, and please concentrate on conquering your target~"

"Otherwise, you might end up getting chopped into pieces. After all, this is the basic operation of a yandere."

Xia Zhiyuan was speechless and choked with emotion. He had no way to refute the "nuclear kindness" reminder given to him by the system.

This is simply a naked threat.

At least Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't be like this, Xia Zhiyuan looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess who was gently wiping the medicine on him, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

Although the original novel describes Zhao Changlin as having a deep obsession with imperial power, it does not write that she is emotionally perverted.

How does the saying come from? There is a tiger in your heart, but you can still smell the roses.

Your Highness must be such a person.

"It's just a simple task. Next time... don't choke yourself."

Zhao Changlin was about to say something, but he hesitated and finally just put his handkerchief on the table.

He turned around to glance at Xiao Liuzi who was still standing in the tent, and ordered him to leave.

"I already know about this matter. How does Father answer?"

Hearing this, Xia Zhiyuan held her breath and didn't dare to breathe. By the way, she had even forgotten about the Emperor.

I'm so sorry.

"His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with anyone and said that Miss Zhiyuan should answer the question herself."

Xia Zhiyuan didn't believe that the emperor was so sensible. This was just a competition between two ministers, and in the end the ball was kicked to his side.

If I agree, then the Xia family will definitely offend General Sima and the entire Nuo family in the court. If I refuse, then the male protagonist will haunt me like a ghost, and the entire Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will not let the Xia family go.

"Back off. I'll summon you again if there's anything else."

The hidden meaning of this sentence made Xiao Liuzi happy, but he did not express it directly. His Highness's promise might have initially included him in His Highness's party.

As a eunuch who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, Xiao Liuzi naturally understands how difficult it is for the prince to ascend the throne, and it is better for him to surrender to Her Royal Highness the Princess who holds military power.

Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess did not ascend the throne in the end, as long as she held military power, she would not be looked down upon in the huge palace.

"Yes, I will follow your Highness's wishes."

Xiao Liuzi slowly retreated.

The tent returned to silence again. Zhao Changlin smiled and dipped his fingers in the bitter medicinal juice.

But, surprisingly, I don’t hate the smell.

"I want to know, how should Zhiyuan make a choice?"

"I have sent someone to bring the list of the nobles of Jinzhou. Zhiyuan can look through them one by one to see if there is anyone he likes."

"Since the Marquis of Zhongyong can choose among the noble ladies of Jinzhou, then Zhiyuan should also have such rights."

"The Loyal and Brave Marquis has the title as his backer, and I hope Zhiyuan will regard me as his backer."

After saying that, the palace maid held a list in both hands, walked slowly to Xia Zhiyuan, and handed him the list with both hands.

It’s a hot potato if you don’t take it or not! Facing the “expecting” eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Xia Zhiyuan picked up the list nervously, with some guesses already in his mind. It was over. Given His Highness's sinister character, he might be using this matter to trick him.

How about I use my points to exchange for what His Highness is thinking?

No, looking at the expression on His Highness's face, you don't even need to use any guessing points to guess what His Highness is thinking right now!

Fried fish is shameful, fishing is even more shameful.

Protecting the pond is everyone's responsibility.

"No, Your Highness. Zhiyuan now only wants to accompany Your Highness to practice calligraphy and study, and to attend classes with Your Highness and the teachers. As for the matter of a husband, Zhiyuan has no second thoughts."

A textbook answer.

But it was obvious that the scheming prince didn't fall for it, and Xia Zhiyuan's big move - was in vain.

Zhao Changlin opened the book for Xia Zhiyuan. One page contained a copy of a portrait, and the other contained regular script, which introduced the origins of the gentlemen.

Unexpectedly, a handsome portrait of a man came into her eyes. The man was wearing a blue cloth shirt embroidered with fluttering bamboo leaves. He was holding a branch of flowers in his hand, with affectionate eyes.

——The eldest son of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, he is sixteen years old and still unmarried. He passed the imperial examination at the Spring Equinox this year and won the third place. He is excellent in the six arts of a gentleman and is good at painting mountain birds. He likes to recite poetry, entertain guests, and play tossing pots and kicking balls.

This was written in too much detail. Xia Zhiyuan did not even continue reading. He seriously suspected that even the eight generations of ancestors were written up.

Zhao Changlin's voice was the same as usual, and there was no sound of abnormality.

"The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace is also from a noble family, the Yunmeng Jiang family. Fortunately, he was valued by his father and was appointed to the cabinet. His ancestors were all from humble backgrounds."

"This young man is indeed excellent, but his wealth is a little meager."

"If Zhiyuan is chosen as a husband, he will definitely suffer from the poor family. The poor families do not like extravagance, but this young man has many hobbies. I am afraid that he will suffer at the hands of his own family when he enters the officialdom in the future."

"In my opinion, it's not good."

Isn't this bad? Your Highness, don't you look at my own background?

Although Xia Zhiyuan had no interest in the young man in front of him, to be honest, his background was far superior to his own.

If I have to say something bad, it would probably be that I win because I am a registered resident of Jinzhou.

The young man suffered because he had a non-local household registration.

"How can my Zhiyuan suffer?"

Zhao Changlin looked at Xia Zhiyuan who was so close to him with affection in his eyes, and continued to smile, his fingertips moving down.

"Besides, Yunmeng is very humid and cold, even in winter. It is not suitable for someone like Zhiyuan to live there for a long time."

"Whether it's gold, silver, treasures, rare antiques, or Ganoderma lucidum, as long as Zhiyuan wants it, I can find it."

The white fingertips slightly opened the page, and the portrait on the second page came into view. Coincidentally, it was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery - Lu Boshan.
