Chapter 235 Assumed Pro(2/2)
The second prince smiled with satisfaction just now.
"Actually, I really want to get engaged to you when I said that just now." The second prince put away his stupid look and said.
But when he was right, Lin Zhaoyan was even more scared and said, "Second Prince! Don't joke about me anymore!"
"I'm not kidding." The second prince blinked, suddenly leaned over to Lin Zhaoyan, and blew, "I mean to be a relative."
A faint fragrance of wine came from the nose, which was the peach blossom wine that was entertaining the important officials at the banquet. Lin Zhaoyan's face suddenly turned red.
She took two steps back in a hurry, pretending to be calm and said, "Second Prince, I don't understand what you mean."
The second prince looked at her blushing face and laughed out loud, "It's so interesting to tease you. Mo Shuang never blushed and always smiled lightly. Sometimes she really wanted to chisel her face open to see if there would be any other expression inside." He said, a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes, but it was well concealed and disappeared soon.
Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel pitiful for him. It was actually very painful to fall in love with a perfect woman like Mo Shuang, because you couldn't find her fault, but you couldn't get into her heart.
It would be fine if you were having a show, but if you were afraid, it was true love.
Perhaps Lin Zhaoyan's sympathetic gaze was too obvious, and the second prince bounced her forehead, "What kind of expression do you look like? There are so many women who like this prince. Do you need you to be pitiful?"
Lin Zhaoyan felt pain and covered his forehead for a long time and couldn't speak.
It's not painful, it's shocking.
She and the second prince have only "knowed" for a quarter of an hour. Why did he act like he was very familiar with her? Even Xiao Qi had never acted intimate with her like this. Is this person familiar with her or what?
"Don't stare at me like this. If you don't accept it, just call me back. As long as you have the courage to attack me." He looked arrogant and arrogant, and even put his face in front of Lin Zhaoyan. The owed look really made Lin Zhaoyan have the urge to kick him up.
But in the end, reason prevailed and she didn't have the courage to take action.
After despising Lin Zhaoyan with a look of "I knew you didn't have the courage", the second prince took back his handsome face, and then rushed to the serious topic before Lin Zhaoyan got angry. "My mother wants to help me find the prince's concubine, which is Shen Zhongling from the northwest. She was injured in the hunting ground last year, and now she has finally recovered. But she should have given marriage to that kid Xiao Qi! But my mother didn't know what crazy she was doing, so she told her to marry her to me! Now I can't push her and don't want to marry her, so I can only find someone to be a shield."
Lin Zhaoyan's mouth twitched. This was the first time she had heard someone say that her own mother had twitched. I guess Concubine Duan was so angry that she could carry it over after hearing it.
As for Shen Zhongling, she had heard of it a little. She seemed to be the niece of Nannanbo. She came to Beijing in May last year and planned to get married, but something happened on the hunting ground and almost died. Fortunately, the imperial physician's clever hands recovered and saved his life. After that, there was no news coming out. Unexpectedly, when he heard about her again, he was under such circumstances.
Although Nanbo is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, he is Chen Zhongling's uncle after all, and he is not his biological father. The gap is very big. On the surface, he married Chen Zhongling to Nanbo, but in fact he is just an empty shell. Nanbo has his own children and will never have to work hard for a niece who gets married.
So marrying Chen Zhongling is a little nicer in name, and this marriage will not help the slightest political interests.
Therefore, marrying Chen Zhongling is equivalent to showing the emperor his determination not to fight for the crown prince, and telling the world that they are going to withdraw from the war.
But, Concubine Duan is so open-minded?
Lin Zhaoyan didn't believe it, he didn't believe it at all.
"So, you can't marry Chen Zhongling, but you have to express your determination to the emperor and the world, so you came to use me as a shield?" Lin Zhaoyan raised his eyes and looked at the second prince deeply, all of which were clear.
Chen Zhongling cannot be married because it will not help the future battle for the throne, but the emperor must ease his suspicion to make it easier for some secret operations.
As long as Concubine Duan proposes the marriage, the emperor and the queen mother will think that Concubine Duan and the second prince have no intention of the throne, and then use the second prince’s so-called true love to shirk the marriage, which is really a killing of two birds with one stone.
Her identity can even save the second prince from doubt.
Because she is from the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion belongs to the third prince's party and has always had no rivalry with the second prince's party.
If the second prince married her as his wife, he would marry the Jian'an Marquis Mansion. As long as he was not so crazy that he could sacrifice his wife without hesitation, he would not want to fall out with the Jian'an Marquis Mansion and would not compete for the throne with the third prince.
The second prince's reputation outside should have always been free and unrestrained, and it is not synonymous with ambition. In addition, marrying her can completely eliminate the emperor's wariness.
For the sake of marriage, the third prince and his party must be more restrained, otherwise it will only make the emperor more afraid and dissatisfied.
Such a good plan to kill three birds with one stone is really admirable!
Lin Zhaoyan felt that under the arrogant and unruly appearance of the second prince, he had a terrible heart.
But should she thank him?
Thanks to him for not designing that she had to marry him, because in the end, she would die suddenly and marry another second wife who was beneficial to him, the result would be the same.
But he only said that he would have a play. If he had a relative, there would be room for her life.
Although I can't marry a good family, it's better than losing my life.
The second prince looked at her with a look of surprise, but not surprised that she had analyzed the truth of the matter, but was surprised that she was amazed at her fantasy, "You are so amazing. I just don't want to marry Chen Zhongling because I don't love her. If I marry her, I will go out to spend time and have fun. This is very unfair to her. I don't want to harm her, and I don't want to go against my true intentions. I must marry Mo Shuang, but now I don't have the ability and need time."
It is indeed not that easy to marry a brothel woman as her concubine.
But... "It's that simple?" It's just for the ink cream?
"It's that simple." The second prince also frowned, and even stared at her seriously with his head tilted. "I used to want to chisel Mo Shuang's face the most, but now I want to chisel your head open, wanting to see what is inside?" As he said that, he really grabbed her hair seriously, "Let me see!"
Lin Zhaoyan hurriedly avoided, his brows getting knotted.
She had just analyzed such a long list of things, but in the blink of an eye she told her that she was conspiring for theories? The purpose of the second prince was to be simple and could not be simply "because of love". What else could she say?
Then she'll be simpler, too.
"No, I won't agree." Lin Zhaoyan was straightforward, "Why should I assume that my relatives ruined my reputation? Can I still marry a good family when I terminate the engagement with you? Why should I harm myself and benefit others?"
"Because, you must agree!" The second prince blinked his eyes, looking for granted.
Lin Zhaoyan looked at him coldly, "Even if you are the second prince, you can't force others to do anything. If I don't agree, I just won't agree."
"Oh." The second prince nodded, always looking indifferent. "Since that's the case, then I'll tell my grandmother that the reason you framed your third sister to marry Xiao Bei was because you like me and wanted to marry me. I immediately asked the emperor's grandmother to give her a marriage. I guess the emperor's grandmother would be very happy." After that, he left.
Lin Zhaoyan was 100% sure he could really do it.
"Stop!" She felt so angry. How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
"Hehe..." The second prince turned around and smiled at her, "Are you willing to agree? Get engaged to me?"
"It's a hypothetical relationship!" Lin Zhaoyan gritted his teeth, "You will regret it!"
Anyway, because of the prophecy of "helping dragon flying and beautiful beauty to be poor", she would not plan to marry anyone in this life, and the difference in reputation is not important to her. She just wants to protect herself before she arrives with irresistible power in the future and leave Shengjing, a place of right and wrong. If she becomes the second prince's fiancée, it will definitely be of great help to what she wants to do in the future.
As for the second prince, since he is planning to plot against her now, don’t blame her for being ruthless and unrighteous in the future. As soon as that prophecy comes out, it is impossible for the second prince to escape the dispute over the throne.
"You will definitely regret what you did today." Lin Zhaoyan raised his eyes again and repeated coldly.
The second prince still looked indifferent. He even thought she was angry and rubbed her hair with a smile, "I feel like you are much cute than Mo Shuang. I really like you a little."
Lin Zhaoyan avoided his hand and sneered.
The second prince didn't mind and continued to smile and said, "Since that's the case, we'll make a decision. Don't regret it. You know, those who regret it!"
"I hope the second prince will not regret it in the future." Lin Zhaoyan didn't want to say more to him, so he left this sentence and turned around and left.
The second prince looked at her disappearing back and shook his head with a smile.
