C410 Princess Yonghe's Wedding Night(2)

Emperor Wenjing's eyes darkened when he heard this, and the smile on his face faded a little.

Before he could speak, the loyal marquis went up and knelt down, "Greetings Princess Yonghe, that is my daughter, Soong Xiaoyou. It was only because my daughter was assassinated that she was accidentally injured and was still recuperating in the residence. That is why she did not attend this banquet!"

Princess Yonghe smiled with a look of pity, "When Bengong was in the Xiyue Country, I heard of the name of the Goddess. Bengong has always looked up to the strong and this kind of talented girl is still thinking of having a chance to spar. If that is the case, it is really a pity!"

As she spoke, her gaze kept on Lan Xuehan, who was sitting there, with a profound meaning.

Lan Xuehan had already keenly caught the gaze from above. It was full of sizing up and examining, but it did not have the slightest bit of malice.

She frowned slightly. This Princess Yonghe's words expressed her admiration towards Dongfang Jin, including deliberately bringing Soong Xiaoyou forward as if she was setting a trap for herself. All of these indicated that the two of them were rivals in love.

Then it was understandable that she wanted to use her identity as a princess to intimidate her. But her eyes did not have the slightest bit of malice and arrogance that belonged to the royal princess. This inevitably made Lan Xuehan think a little higher of her.

"Bengong heard that your country's Crown Princess teacher only shocked the Nine States when she was in Skysnow Mountain. She is even more talented than Princess Ronghua. I wonder if I have the honor to ask Crown Princess to give me some pointers? Bengong heard that your country's Crown Princess teacher only shocked the Nine States when she was in Skysnow Mountain. She is even more talented than Princess Ronghua. I wonder if I have the honor to ask Crown Princess to give me some pointers?"

When Lan Xuehan heard this, the corners of her eyes carried a lazy smile as she elegantly put down the teacup in her hand. Just as she was about to answer, Dongfang Jin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Bengong also came from Skysnow Mountain and is not worthy of being called talented. But presumably, teaching others is also barely enough. Why don't the princess compete with Bengong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of ping-pong resounded in the hall. All the ministers had blank faces, and their expressions were numb. They looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

Even Lan Xuehan could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth, indicating that she was unable to accept Dongfang Jin's words.

This talent competition had always been a war between women. Men were always self-confident and would not interfere. Even if it was a competition, they would still choose a man to compete with. How could they choose a woman to compete with?

It was simply the biggest joke in the world!

To put it bluntly, it was shameless behavior. Even if he won, he would still be laughed at by everyone in the world.

Sure enough, Emperor Wenjing's face darkened when he heard Dongfang Jin's words. His eyes were filled with anger, and his cold voice sounded with displeasure.

"Third brother, this is a matter between Princess Yonghe and Crown Princess. What is wrong with you, the Crown Prince, saying this?"

Dongfang Jin smiled leisurely at Emperor Wenjing's words. "Royal Father's words are wrong. Competitions are always fair, but Princess Yonghe has done so. It is not fair. As husband and wife, the children and ministers who accept the test are the same as her. It's not a big deal."

When she said this, Lan Xuehan's heart trembled. A little warmth flowed through her heart, making her slightly agitated.

When Princess Yonghe, who was on top, heard this, her expression became slightly awkward, but she did not show any signs of being angry. She said with a big smile, "Bengong heard that Crown Prince has deep feelings for Crown Princess. Now that I look at it, it really lives up to its reputation!"

Lan Xuehan was a pregnant woman. She went to find Lan Xuehan to compete. Clearly, she made Dongfang Jin angry. That was why he gave her face like this. Indeed, it was a stinky man who protected his wife and was stingy!

His generous words gave Dongfang Jin enough room to step down, but he did not expect Dongfang Jin to say smoothly, "The rumors in the world are not true!"

The translation of these words was that what they said was only superficial. Bengong doted on Crown Princess even more than this. It was just that you did not know about it!

The words were meant to find a way out and made Dongfang Jin choke. Even Princess Yonghe, who had a good temper, smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say.

When Emperor Wenjing saw this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Princess Yonghe.

"The Xiyue Country is willing to ally with the Linfeng Country. It is the blessing of the people of the two countries. Your majesty has already expressed his willingness to form a marriage alliance with our country to honor his sincerity. I wonder if you have a candidate that you are satisfied with?"

After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Jin.

Emperor Wenjing did not want Dongfang Jin to be devoted to one person, but he could not force Dongfang Jin to marry him. Therefore, he could only take a roundabout approach and start from other aspects.

This Princess Yonghe had a noble status and a gentle temperament. This kind of girl was definitely a dragon among men and was not inferior to Lan Xuehan.

Therefore, Emperor Wenjing really hoped that Princess Yonghe could marry Dongfang Jin. This way, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone. His heart was very happy!

Princess Yonghe looked at Dongfang Jin and said with a smile, "I have always come to admire the strong. Your country's Crown Prince has a beautiful appearance and is very far away. His means and mind are all extraordinary talents in Shenghe Mainland. When I came here, I hoped to find a husband like him."

Such a bold and straightforward confession made everyone feel as if the scene had reappeared. They suddenly remembered that a year ago, Crown Princess from the Zihua Country also confessed to Crown Prince in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at the person who confessed, wanting to know if Crown Prince's feelings were still as deep as before!

Lan Xuehan had already expected this kind of situation. Her eyebrows slightly knitted in her heart, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

It was not that Princess Yonghe's confession made her unhappy, but it was Dongfang Jin's attitude.

She had always understood Dongfang Jin. If he hated this Eternal Princess, then he would definitely have some reaction to reject these words.

But after Princess Yonghe expressed her adoration, he did not have any reaction. It was like obedience, but also like... silent acquiescence!

Thinking of this possibility, Lan Xuehan's heart was heavy, and her throat was filled with a faint sourness.

To be honest, she herself did not hate this Princess Yonghe. Her temperament was magnanimous and gentle, and her words were filled with wisdom and the bearing of a royal.

This temperament was much better than that of the women she had seen before.

If she was like this, then what about Dongfang Jin? If it was any other time, she wouldn't be worried. However, at this moment, she couldn't be sure if the two of them were in such a situation!

Even though Lan Xuehan was cold and indifferent, she still loved Dongfang Jin in her heart. She also had such a plot of a little girl, especially when she was pregnant, it was infinitely magnified.

At this moment, such a powerful love rival had appeared at such a sensitive time. How could she still be calm as water?

When Emperor Wenjing heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "The princess really has a true temperament. Such a character is really rare in the world!"

After saying that, he even glanced at Dongfang Jin. Seeing that his gaze was elegant and distant, but did not have any intention of refuting him, he could not help but feel a little happy in his heart.

"Your majesty is flattering me. I know that Crown Prince already has a good person, but no matter who it is, they have the right to pursue their own happiness. So, Yonghe has a presumptuous request. Your Majesty, please allow it!"

Calling himself weak obviously delighted Emperor Wenjing.
