Jiang Ru looked at Ye Xiuchen's unsightly face and immediately became happy. She didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince of Beichen was a bit unexpected.
She thought he didn't want to see her.
"It seems that what my brother said is right, His Royal Highness is a smart man."
Jiang Ru praised generously.
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It was your brother who asked you to come to me, and it was he who gave you the idea to get married?"
Jiang Ru was a little surprised: "How did you know?"
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "You go back and tell your brother that I have one more condition, that is, let him dowry me. If he is willing, let him come to the palace to find me."
Jiang Ru's eyes widened: "Asking my brother to be a dowry? What do you mean, Your Highness? My brother is a man, how can he be a dowry?"
Xiao Chengyi said, "Just ask him if he is willing."
After a pause, he added: "I will leave this brother of mine to you. Just bring him back to me before dark."
The more Ye Xiuchen listened, the more outrageous he became. He was so angry that he even shouted out his name: "Xiao Chengyi, you sold me out like this, are we still good brothers?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "The Imperial Master calculated it for you when you came here. The second princess is your good match. Cherish it."
With that said, he waved his hand at him, and then left with Mu Yun'an, Shen Yunxi and Chu Liancheng.
Ye Xiuchen wanted to chase him, but Jiang Ru stopped him and said, "Young Master Ye, you are mine now."
Ye Xiuchen frowned and looked at her: "Who is your person?"
Jiang Rudao: "That's what His Highness the Crown Prince said just now."
Ye Xiuchen had a gloomy face, filled with unhappiness. Why did he think Xiao Chengyi brought him here just to trick him?
"Oh, I'm not a scourge. What's the matter with you? You don't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry you. Let's cooperate with each other and get what we need. Isn't that okay?"
Jiang Ru asked him in a negotiating tone.
Ye Xiuchen thought about it and felt that this method was not impossible.
He said: "Then let's just say it."
Jiang Ruhao said angrily: "Don't worry, I won't rely on you. This is your first time coming to our southern Xinjiang. Come on, I'll take you for a walk."
She took Ye Xiuchen's arm and left.
Ye Xiuchen felt that this girl was carefree and didn't look like a princess at all.
Thinking of what he just said, he asked: "Isn't your brother the high priest?"
Jiang Ru raised her eyebrows and said: "The Queen Mother only has one son, the High Priest, and we princesses are all women chosen by the people.
Just because her blood is pure and suitable for raising Gu insects, she was brought into the palace from an early age and became this so-called princess."
She laughed at herself and continued: "At the beginning, you don't know how happy I was because I could finally leave that poor home and enjoy the glory and wealth.
But only after becoming this princess did I realize that the price paid for glory and wealth is too high.
From then on, I had no family and no freedom. I would cut myself whenever necessary, and the wound on my arm never healed."
Jiang Ru was full of sadness when she mentioned the past, she said: "My biological parents died, and I didn't even see them for the last time.
I have a biological brother who wanted to save me from the sea of misery. After knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince was looking for a princess to marry Beichen, he asked me to recommend myself."
Ye Xiuchen said: "Your brother is very smart."
"That is."
Jiang Ru said proudly: "My brother is not only good-looking, but also very talented. He is the youngest minister in southern Xinjiang and has a bright future."
Ye Xiuchen would like to meet this Lord Shangshu and see if he is really as good as Jiang Ru said?
He said: "You are praising yourself in disguise, after all, like brother, like sister."
