The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 183
Xian Zi Xuan deliberately lowered his smile as he glanced at Pei Shi Liang who was clearly staring at Emperor Pei An Long with grievance in his eyes. As if he knew that his father proposed this marriage for him. Xian Zi Xuan naturally saw it clearly. Moreover, after staring at Emperor Pei An Long but his father was aware of the hostile gaze from his daughter and immediately turned his face away and Pei Shi Liang finally changed his target to Xian Zi Xuan who was getting more and more pleased when he saw pei Shi Liang's angry face which he thought looked funny.
But in fact, other than Emperor Pei An Long, Lu Jing Yu who was also aware of the interaction of the two people from the beginning also had an interest in his eyes. His gossipy soul immediately tempered and could not bear to keep it to himself. He immediately revealed what he saw to Pei Zhang Xi.
"Your Majesty, it seems that between Crown Prince Shixian and Liang'er something has happened that we do not know."
"That Shixian Empire though it looked so peaceful and without any outside power struggles, was actually even more ruthless there. The position of Crown Prince Shixian could have looked so powerful that no one could snatch it from him, in fact the danger of the usurpation of the throne was always terrible anywhere. If Shi Liang were to marry Crown Prince Shixian with his current naive nature, it would be impossible for him to survive." Pei Zhang Xi spoke as he glanced at Lu Jing Yu when the focus of his eyes was on Xian Zi Xuan. Watch the man closely.
"But judging that Crown Prince Shixian could survive since he was crowned Crown Prince to date, it proves that he is capable. I'm sure if he marries the sweet Liang'er, he won't let anyone trouble Liang'er there either. Moreover, seeing how Crown Prince Shixian had been staring at Liang'er since earlier with eyes only fixed on him, didn't this indicate that his feelings for Liang'er were so deep?"
"You care so much about other people's feelings. You even understand the feelings of other men. Yu'er, have you ever thought about how I feel even if it's just a little?"
Lu Jing Yu reflexively distanced herself as she stared in disbelief at her flirtatious husband.
"Yu 'er. Do you not want me anymore? Why are you so far away?" Whine Pei Zhang Xi in a voice that was not suppressed at all. Everyone who was at least five meters away from them could even hear his whining clearly.
Some cups almost slipped out of the hand. Some of the servants near them were unlucky because because they were too surprised, they began to spill the food or drink they brought on their trays. Most affected was concubine Su who choked on the osmantus cake she had just bitten when she heard her son's strange whining sound. It's so horrible to hear!
"Mrs be careful." Aunt Gu immediately gave a cup of water to Consort Su. And the coughing sound of Consort Su breaking the momentary silence was created.
"I'm doing fine. But please tell me if all I hear is an illusion. The one who said the words that made people want to vomit was not my stiff son. That's so horrible."
"Please forgive the mistress' servant. But what the madam heard was what really happened."
"....." Concubine Su almost lost herself once again.
"Ehem.... I have long heard the love story between the Crown Prince and his Empress. Looking at it yourself even made one would feel envious no matter what." Xian Zi Xuan broke the awkwardness that was happening strangely.
"While I don't deny that the first thing that will count in a marriage for someone like us is the benefits that can be taken from this marriage in the end, but I still hope that my marriage besides getting benefits also has something sweet like Crown Prince Shao got. I will not deny if I do have an interest in one of the Princesses of the Shao Empire, but unfortunately that beautiful princess is still unable to accept me. So Your Majesty, please give me a chance to win your daughter's heart." As he said his last sentence, Xian Zi Xuan glanced at Pei Shi Liang who immediately turned his face away.
As a woman, of course Pei Shi Liang would feel touched upon knowing if a man would attempt to gain his heart. He admitted that Xian Zi Xuan's appearance looked good from anywhere. In addition to having above average good looks, he also had an imposing aura typical of a leader. But this is precisely what makes him reluctant to open his heart to her.
Pei Shi Liang had no desire to marry someone who came from any imperial environment. Especially a Crown Prince. He only wanted a simple man from an ordinary family because it was only in such circles that he found men who had no other woman in his house other than their legitimate wives.
Pei Shi Liang wanted to have a husband who was like Pei Zhang Xi, who only had Lu Jing Yu in his eyes! Actually Xian Zi Xuan had also only had it in his eyes. But it was because of his own fear that he could not see it.
Emperor Pei An Long nodded his head in order. He understood what Xian Zi Xuan meant. He also saw Pei Shi Liang's watchful and suspicious eyes. As her father I also understood what this daughter wanted. Because of this he also has concerns about the future of his daughter. He feared that no one would be willing to marry him with his great selfishness towards his partner who was not common and even considered not good in general society even though he was a princess.
Right now after hearing Xian Zi Xuan's reply, he felt that some of the burden on his shoulders had finally lifted. He would call him personally after the event ended to speak to him not as an Emperor but as a father.
"Of course Crown Prince Shixian. And so is my hope. You married my daughter not only because of political interests alone because for me, a child does not care about anyone it is the eyes of the heart that I will always care about. I also hope that my children will be happy in their marriage."
"Please Your Majesty give me honor. Let's toast to this deal." Xian Zi Xuan raised his wine bowl which was immediately greeted by Emperor Pei An Long.
This time Pei Shi Liang was unable to determine anything. He can't decide what's best for him at the moment. Xian Zi Xuan was undeniably the perfect husband-to-be. But still about his status.... He will absolutely not tolerate a husband who will bring home another woman in his household life.
Lu Jing Yu who from the beginning had ignored Pei Zhang Xi noticed this sister-in-law and she slightly understood what she was facing. However, he could do nothing to help her. He was also unable to guarantee whether Xian Zi Xuan would be loyal to him until the very end or would instead hurt him severely in the future. He also breathed.
"I'll take care of this. We must ascertain whether this man is truly worthy of Shi Liang or not. If I find out later if he is just another wok who just wants to play around, I will make sure he won't be able to get close to Shi Liang within a ten kilometer radius." Pei Zhang Xi pulled Lu Jing Yu's shoulder so that he turned his head and focused on her.
"Ehem. Please do your best."
"On one condition."
