C175 What More Can a Husband Ask for When He Has Received Such a Request

After Jiegeng left Duan Shuang's embrace, she said word by word, "Although I don't know what you are doing, I will always believe in you."

Duan Shuang's eyes moved, then he smiled faintly, "How did you see through me?"

"This is called having a telepathic connection!" Jiegeng turned her head and sat in her seat.

"Is that so?" Duan Shuang asked with ill intentions. "But when you came to my place in anger this morning, it did not seem like you were faking it. However, after a certain moment, you suddenly became so stiff. "

Jiegeng pouted and looked at him discontentedly.

You can even tell that? Could it be that you are really a roundworm in my stomach?

"Speak. I am also very curious. How did you know?" Duan Shuang stared at Jiegeng. "I have to know where my weakness is, where it is, and what it is that I made a mistake?"

Jiegeng looked up innocently. "I can't tell either. However, when she looked into your eyes, she did not know why. My heart suddenly feels full of confidence." Jiegeng placed her delicate hand on the back of Duan Shuang's hand, "Because your eyes tell me that in your heart... Just me!"

Duan Shuang looked down at Jiegeng's hand and laughed. Then, he gently placed his other hand on top of his head and gently patted it.

"What else can I ask for from you?"

Jiegeng suddenly confessed to Duan Shuang. At first, she suddenly became shy. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she immediately tasted it and pulled her hand back.

"I don't know how many people you have coaxed like this!"

"Yes!" Duan Shuang deliberately sniffed. He said, "Where did the vinegar jar go? The sour smell has drifted here!"

After Jiegeng was ridiculed like this, she became even angrier. She directly moved her head to the other side and even deliberately moved the chair away from Duan Shuang.

Just as Jiegeng was gnashing her teeth in anger and competing with herself, an exquisite mirror case suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"What? Do you think you can please me just by buying some things?" Jiegeng did not give in at all.

"Open it and take a look first." Duan Shuang's voice was soft and gentle.

Jiegeng still proudly raised her head and quickly took the box over. "I will give you face and take a look."

Jiegeng hid the box in her palm before slowly opening it.

"This is?" A delicate jade flower instantly entered Jiegeng's eyes.

"Jiegeng Flower."

"Try it on. This bracelet is tens of millions of times better than the one you saw in the afternoon."

"I don't care about that chain. You don't have to take it out to make comparisons, do you?" Jiegeng clearly felt sorry for the bracelet she liked, but in front of Duan Shuang, she could not help but be stubborn.

"Okay, you don't mind!" Duan Shuang coaxed, "Then do you like this one?"

"So-so." Jiegeng took out the bracelet, "It can barely be worn on my hand!"

"Okay, then you can try it reluctantly." Jiegeng acting like she was pretending made Duan Shuang smile even more.

"Help me!" Jiegeng put her hand in front of her and acted like a spoiled child.

Duan Shuang shook his head helplessly and took the bracelet. He carefully helped Jiegeng put it on her slender wrist.

"But we haven't seen each other for a few days. Why are you getting more and more arrogant?" Duan Shuang teased Jiegeng at the same time.

"Don't you like the king?" Jiegeng replied arrogantly.

"I am very happy!" After Duan Shuang put the bracelet on Jiegeng, he touched her hair.

"Because I spoiled her," ___ said.

Jiegeng gently knocked Duan Shuang's hand off and smiled shyly.

"But your acting is too exaggerated!" Jiegeng shook her head and heard Duan Shuang bring a basin of cold water.

"What do you mean?" Jiegeng was naturally unconvinced.

"Especially at the street in the afternoon. In order to not laugh, I spent a lot of effort!"

Jiegeng stuck out her tongue and did not argue with him anymore.

"Why didn't you ask about Hsing Zheng and me?" Jiegeng tasted it again. She was jealous of herself by the side. Why did it feel like nothing had happened to him?

"Because I am confident that with me, other men will not be able to catch your eyes again."

Jiegeng immediately looked at Duan Shuang with disdain. Where did his confidence come from?

"Could it be that both of you have the same goal?" Jiegeng asked casually.

"I don't want you to be involved in politics. So, don't have too many connections with him. As for me, during special times, you need to stay away from me " Duan Shuang suddenly became serious.

Seeing Duan Shuang's sudden change in expression, Jiegeng did not ask any more questions and sincerely nodded her head.

Two hours later, the entire room was filled with noise.

"I thought you were different from other men. How would I know that I was blind back then!" Jiegeng's voice was clearly heard outside.

Immediately following that was the sound of porcelain shattering.

"Get lost!" Duan Shuang's furious voice was also heard.

Immediately, the people in the restaurant gathered outside to watch.

Suddenly, Jiegeng suddenly opened the door, and the surrounding people subconsciously took half a step back.

"Duan Shuang, listen. Today, I, Bai Jiegeng will cut off all ties with you! Go and find your Yang Lanqing!" After saying this, Jiegeng immediately left the restaurant angrily.

Looking inside, only the messy and dark faced Duan Shuang was left.

"Miss, you have been staring at your bracelet for more than half an hour. No matter how beautiful it is, it is not like that!" Shao teased.

Jiegeng ignored Shao and continued her small world.

"Miss, how did you treasure it? Who gave it to you?"

"Guess?" Jiegeng smiled mischievously.

"Could it be Prince Hsing?" After Shao finished speaking, her expression did not look too good either.

"Miss, although that Prince Hsing is really good to you. However, he is still a person of Qi Country."

"Alright, stop guessing. It's not him." Jiegeng patted the bracelet and prepared to go to bed.

"Miss, you don't have to hang people around like this."

Shao walked inside and found that Jiegeng had already fallen asleep. The corner of her mouth still had a trace of a smile.

In the Imperial Reading Room.

"Emperor, regarding the matter of the warhorse, this official wishes to participate in the investigation." Sima Ling spoke righteously in the main hall.

" Oh? Why do you think so? Zhen is relieved to leave this matter to Zhen'an King. "

" Your majesty, if it was a previous Royal Highness, this official would naturally feel at ease and would not directly request an Imperial Decree from the Emperor. "

"What do you mean?" The Emperor previously still had an absent-minded look and only at this moment did he truly become serious.

"Emperor, ever since Zhen'an King returned to the capital, he did not investigate this matter at all. Instead, he went sightseeing with the Shangguan family's young miss every day."

"Is that really so?"

" This official does not dare to lie to the Emperor. The war horses purchased from Kumeng this time is related to the stability of the Great Yan border. As the Great General of Yu Lin, this official naturally cares about the safety of the Great Yan. Originally, this official also thought that the matter of the war horse was intentionally framed by Zhen'an King for being unjust, but... Zhen'an King's recent actions have truly made this official feel a chill in his heart."

"Perhaps it's because my brother lost his martial arts not too long ago, so he's feeling depressed in his heart." Although the Emperor was somewhat furious after hearing Sima Ling's report, he then found an excuse for Duan Shuang.

When Sima Ling heard this, he laughed mockingly in his heart. Sure enough, he still had to make some ruthless moves!

"Other than that, this official also unexpectedly intercepted many letters between the officials of the court and the royal family of Wei Yuan."

Apart from the small countries, Wei Yuan, Qi Country and Great Yan had long formed a tripartite force.

It was just that in the past few decades, Great Yan's momentum had been swift and fierce, and only then did it leap to become the leader of the three countries.

However, to the Great Yan, the biggest enemy was not the Qi Country that had been fighting all year round, but Wei Yuan, who was north of the Great Yan.

"Is this true?" When he heard that it was related to Wei Yuan, the Emperor's nerves immediately tensed up.

"This lowly official here has a letter as proof, I dare not speak nonsense!" Following which, Sima Ling took out a letter from his bosom and passed it to the Emperor's close father-in-law.

After the Emperor received the letter, he read them one by one and immediately flew into a rage.

"These letters, could it be?" The Emperor immediately slammed the table in anger.

"Emperor, at this moment this lowly subject does not have concrete evidence and needs time to verify it. It is just that linking it to everything that has happened recently, it is not hard to not think too much."

The words of these letters were precisely the words of Duan Shuang!

" Duan Shuang is the king of Great Yan. Why did he do this? "

"His Royal Highness is below one person, above ten thousand people. If these things are not fake, then there is only one reason." Speaking up to this point, Sima Ling immediately kept quiet and did not dare to continue.

"Speak!" The Emperor ordered.

"Defiant rebellion!"

"Insolent!"

Sima Ling immediately knelt on the ground, "Emperor, please calm your anger! These are all just guesses. Just based on a few letters, we cannot cut off the Prince's crimes like this."

The Emperor looked at the letter on the table, "Sima Ling, you secretly investigated the matter of the warhorse. Do not let Duan Shuang discover!"

"Yes! This lowly subject accepts the order."

"Also, we must find the source of these letters." The Emperor picked up the letters on the table and threw them to the ground with all his might.

Sima Ling knelt on the ground and revealed a smile that no one could see that his evil scheme had succeeded.

Today, Duan Shuang and Yang Lanqing were still swimming in the lake as usual.

"Lanqing, what's wrong? Why do you look unhappy today?" Duan Shuang brought a plate of snacks to Yang Lanqing.

"Your Royal Highness, this is what they say!" Yang Lanqing smiled. "How can I not be happy?"

Yang Lanqing picked up the desserts and took a bite. She looked at the lake and was disappointed.

"Lanqing, tell me if you need anything."

Yang Lanqing put down the pastries and suddenly felt heartbroken, "Your Highness, from tomorrow onwards, we should not meet again."

"What? What happened? Could it be that this king..."

"No!" Yang Lanqing immediately said frankly, "It's Lanqing's, not."

As she spoke, Yang Lanqing suddenly started to cry miserably.

"Quickly say it!" Duan Shuang was clearly a little angry.

"Your Royal Highness, Lanqing is appreciated by your Royal Highness and will come out to play with your Royal Highness every day. It was Lanqing's fortune. However, Lanqing had been following your Royal Highness without any status these days and had attracted a lot of criticism for no reason. Lanqing's own reputation was not tight, but if she were to ruin the family's reputation... Lanqing really felt bad about it. "

" Who dares to speak nonsense! "

" They don't dare to say it openly. In private, there are too many unpleasant things to say. " As she spoke, Yang Lanqing wiped away her tears again. "Mother said that when it's my turn, she will point out the marriage for me. Now that there are so many rumors and rumors, I'm afraid that..."

Hearing this, Duan Shuang smiled. "What other good marriage do you want?"

" Your Royal Highness! "Yang Lanqing raised her head and looked at Duan Shuang with tender affection.

"Didn't you say you were going to sleep? I will help you prepare this banquet. I will let everyone in the capital know who you are and make them not dare to say another word!"

"Does the prince really like Lanqing?" Yang Lanqing's blood was boiling. Zhen'an King actually wanted to prepare a proper ceremony for her? If that was the case, wouldn't he become the most beautiful woman in the entire capital?

Duan Shuang nodded. "When you reach the end of your life, I will officially let you live in the Imperial Residence."

"It's time to have a mistress in the mansion." Duan Shuang drank the tea, but his eyes were looking at the surface of the lake.

Yang Lanqing heard Duan Shuang's words and naturally thought that this mistress was worthy of her.

"Paying respects to the Emperor, Empress." Hsing Zheng brought Hsing Ji into the Palace to greet the Emperor of Great Yan.

"Empress, please bring Prince Ji to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."

The Emperor gave an order and immediately sent the Empress and Hsing Ji away.

"Prince Hsing came to my Great Yan to choose a concubine. It has been more than a month. I wonder if Prince Hsing has a candidate he likes?" The Emperor smiled, "If not, I have specially summoned the Minister of Rites and Ministry of Revenue. They should be able to give the Crown Prince a good suggestion. "

The Minister of Ministry of Revenue and Ministry Wai immediately bowed to Hsing Ji.

" Thank you for your concern, Emperor. " Hsing Ji looked at the two officials in front of him meaningfully. "I already have a candidate in my heart."

“ Oh, who is it?"

"It is Princess Renxi!"

When the Emperor heard this name, his expression immediately turned ugly.

"Bai Jiegeng?"

"That's right!!"

Apart from the relationship between Duan Shuang and Bai Jiegeng, Bai Jiegeng was the daughter of the Bai's, so she naturally couldn't marry anyone else. Otherwise, the Bai's family, which was tightly held in Great Yan, would be in danger.

"Although Bai Jiegeng is a princess, she is still a merchant family. Her status is not high enough. It wouldn't be appropriate to use this as a marriage alliance with Qi Country." The Emperor's words of refusal were tactful.

"In our Great Yan royal family, there are still a few princesses of the right age. This way, their identities will be more appropriate." The Minister of Ministry of Revenue immediately came out to deal with the situation.

"I don't care about my status when I marry. I only care about my own feelings." Hsing Zheng immediately refused.

"What you mean is that you don't put the princess in your eyes?" The Emperor was furious.

"This Crown Prince does not have such intentions." Hsing Zheng was not afraid at all. "It's just that this time, I'm here to propose marriage, and I'm paying attention to true feelings. If it doesn't suit my eyes, then I can give up on this marriage."

"A marriage alliance between two countries? Prince Hsing is actually so childish?"

"The Emperor please calm down!" Ministry Wai also came out to help.

"Emperor, the marriage alliance is a major matter of the two countries. Do not be too hasty." The official of Ministry of Revenue cupped his hands and said, "If Prince Hsing has enough time, it would be better to stay in Great Yan for a few more days. Making a decision after getting to know the royal princess? "

Hsing Zheng had already angered the Emperor and acted like he had done enough in Ministry Wai. Hsing Zheng immediately agreed to the suggestion of the Ministry of Revenue Minister.

When Hsing Zheng went to the Imperial Garden to look for Hsing Ji, he found Hsing Ji's angry face.

"What's wrong with you now?"

"Nothing. I just met an evil girl." Hsing Ji shook his head. "Let's go. Let's go out of the Palace."

Given Hsing Ji's mischievous personality, Hsing Zheng did not ask any more questions. He took Hsing Ji and left the palace.
