Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Once they entered the Han Palace, the royal families of the various states were arranged into the guest palaces that had been prepared beforehand.
There were no more than ten guards brought into the palace. They quietly spread out and inspected the main hall and the side halls. Then, they stood neatly on both sides and invited Sang Yuanyuan and the other two to enter.
Han Shaoling was quite thoughtful. The palace that he arranged for the Sang siblings was clearly different from other palaces. Furthermore, the name of the palace was very interesting — Phoenix Return Palace.
From the moment he saw the plaque, the sneer on You Wuming's lips hadn't disappeared.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to reveal his identity, he would have already started mocking them.
As soon as Sang Yuanyuan stepped into the palace, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
He turned around and saw the dazzling You Yingyue striding in. She wore a huge golden crown on her head, like a peacock spreading its tail.
Sang Yuanyuan subconsciously tilted his head to look at You Wuming who was standing beside him.
He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.
"It really is you?!
What are you doing here?! "
You Yingyue aggressively charged forward to denounce him. "Didn't you run away with … Brother Wang? How can you still have the face to come back?!
Don't be so shameless. Han Lang only sent an invitation to Sang Zhou as a gesture. You really rushed over?
Do you think Han Lang would want a woman who slept with someone else?! "
Sang Bujin stepped forward to block You Yingyue, his face cold.
He was about to speak when Sang Yuanyuan pushed him aside with a smile. She said to You Yingyue, "Since you know that You Yingyue and I are close, why don't you call me Sister Wang when you see me?
Is it appropriate to talk to me like this? "
"Ha!"
You Ying Yue smiled, "If you weren't dumped by Wang, Brother Wang, why would you come back to the same old grass?
Let me tell you, Sang Yuanyuan, no matter what your intentions are, you will definitely return disappointed! "
Sang Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. "Is that so?"
"Of course!" You Ying Yue puffed out her chest in a show of strength.
Sang Yuanyuan smiled. "Actually, I came specially to see you.
You Yingyue wanted to know if you were doing well here, so he told me to come and take a look.
He said that if you were unhappy, you just had to say it and he would immediately bring you back to You Zhou...
You Yingyue's face.............. what?.
What? "Sang Yuanyuan sighed." I came here with a wish that you were doing well. Sigh, looking at you today, it seems like you aren't doing well either. Don't worry, I will definitely let You Yingyue take you back as soon as possible! "
You Yingyue's beautiful face turned pale.
She shuddered and said with trembling lips, "I, I, I, I'm doing very well!
Han Lang and I are doing very well!
You, you, you, don't be a busybody! "
Sang Yuanyuan stepped forward with concern. "Are you really doing well?
Don't force yourself.
Come, Sister Wang has a jade slip here, why don't you talk to your brother? "
You Yingyue looked like she had seen a ghost. She waved her hands and staggered away. When she passed by the palace gate, she even tripped.
Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. She felt like she was bullying a little child.
"Sigh, you must come to the wedding ceremony!" She yelled at her back.
You Yingyue, who had just climbed up, fell again.
"Tsk," You Yingyue crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. She smiled evilly, "My Royal Sister is so well-mannered.
It's not enough to kneel down once. "
Sang Bujin was speechless as he watched from the side.
When he thought about how You Yingyue had made a move on his little sister, he wanted to skin her alive.
Now, when he saw her in such a sorry state, he did not know whether to be angry or amused.
He tilted his head and glanced at Sang Yuanyuan.
In these days, his little sister had grown up. Although Ling Yun still looked strange, she had become a true elite warrior.
When he thought about it this way, Sang Bujin felt greatly comforted.
After You Yingyue had fled, a delicate and pretty girl dressed in white soon came to see Sang Yuanyuan.
It was Qin Wushuang, the Royal Princess of the Qin State that the sisters from the White State had mentioned.
Although Sang Yuanyuan did not have the slightest intention to hug her, she could not avoid her since she had come to her door. She could only welcome her into the palace.
"Did you get bullied?"
Qin Wushuang looked at Sang Yuanyuan sympathetically, "When I arrived at noon, You Yingyue also ridiculed me. After half a day, the palace did not even send me hot water.
You and the King of the State of Han were once husband and wife. For sure, she treated you like a thorn in her side and neglected you.
Don't mind it and don't bother with such people. It's just a formality. After tomorrow's birthday celebration, we will part ways and we will not see each other again. "
Sang Yuanyuan felt that Qin Wushuang seemed to be implying something.
Only, she had a big heart and could not accurately grasp the thoughts of some girls. She only knew that the other party had other intentions.
She nodded politely: "I'm fine.
You Yingyue treated me courteously. "
When Qin Wushuang saw that she did not seem to understand, he frowned awkwardly and smiled bitterly: "Courteous?
Who doesn't know You Yingyue's personality?
Now that the King of the State of You has taken the opportunity to take the Ji State, her arrogance has soared to the sky!
In fact, I didn't want to get involved with this. Unfortunately, father and the King of the State of Han had made a decision and I had no choice.
Ah, in the future, I will have to go against her. I don't know how I will endure these days … "
Sang Yuanyuan understood.
This was Madame Han who had been "predetermined."
Although Han Shaoling had a love brain, he was not the type of person who had to have someone else.
The marriage between the two states was based on benefits.
Among the eighteen states, the Qin State was below average in terms of strength. However, this place had a natural advantage as it was rich in Spiritual Iron Ores.
The Jin State was located to the east of the Qin State. They had only eaten a few Spiritual Iron Ores and were taken in by the Huangfu family as their private mine.
There was no need to talk about the Qin State.
The Qin State had rich mineral veins and many pairs of eyes had set their eyes on this area.
Because all the powerhouses had kept a close eye on it and restrained each other, the Qin State was able to protect themselves in the cracks. They had signed trade agreements with many parties and found a balance in the game between all the powerhouses.
Marrying a Qin woman as his wife would be the best choice.
To an ambitious King, the Yue family, which was not strong but rich, held extraordinary meaning.
Thus, in this pageant, Sang Yuanyuan and Qin Wushuang would be Han Shaoling's first choice. If possible, it would be best if one of them could be his main wife and the other could stay to be his little wife. It would be a beautiful couple.
When Sang Yuanyuan remembered the conversation between the Bai siblings in the car, a mysterious smile emerged from the corner of her mouth.
It was no wonder that the Bai people could not even see through this point and could only sell health products.
Unfortunately, Han Shaoling could order water seven or eight times a night and had no use for their special products.
When she thought about it this way, she could not help but look at You Wuming.
She thought to herself, I have to think of a way to let him know that an hour is not scientific at all. She had once read on the Internet that the average length of a man's time was actually only a few minutes. It was just that men in ancient times and modern times were all obsessed with their pride in this aspect. They bragged and bragged, creating a big fake bubble.
In fact, his performance was already very good. She still blushed when she thought about it.
Perhaps, to a woman, love was the strongest medicine. His breath was enough to make her heart beat faster. Not to mention, at that moment, they had completely possessed each other and exchanged their love. This matter alone was enough to make one's body and mind feel extremely happy.
Not to mention that he was so strong.
When Sang Yuanyuan thought about it this way, she gradually became dazed.
Qin Wushuang stared at her and waited for her to answer nervously.
Unexpectedly, Sang Yuanyuan started to daydream. Apparently, she did not put her words in her eyes.
Inwardly, some anger emerged in Qin Wushuang's heart. He restrained himself and said: "In fact, it's hard to restore a broken mirror, and it's hard to take back spilled water. These principles have been tested endlessly.
For people, after some things have happened, there will always be a knot in their hearts that they cannot forget. Rather than carrying the scar for the rest of their life, it's better to throw away the past and regain a new life. Don't you think so, Princess Sang? "
She was hinting that Sang Yuanyuan had been kidnapped by You Wuming and had spent time with him alone.
Sang Yuanyuan laughed: "You are saying that you feel uncomfortable with You Yingyue?
That's right. If I gave you a slap on the first day and did not even provide you with hot water, in the future, the scar will get bigger and bigger. It's indeed uncomfortable.
Since you have decided not to be the King of the State of Han, then you don't need to care about the agreement between your father and him. There are so many Crown Princes at the feast tomorrow, you just need to pick the one you like and regain a new life. How great would that be! "
"You …" Qin Wushuang glared at Sang Yuanyuan and saw that she was still smiling. Her beautiful little face was full of innocence and naivety as if she was sincerely giving him advice and not mocking him.
Qin Wushuang took a few deep breaths and stood up to leave. He did not want to speak any more nonsense with this love rival that he did not know if she was truly stupid or pretending to be stupid.
After watching Qin Wushuang leave, Sang Bujin shook her head and laughed: "My little sister has always been like this since she was young. She hates dealing with these scheming and hypocritical people the most. Usually, one sentence from her would make them want to jump into the river.
I haven't heard her speak like this for many years, I do miss it. "
When You Wuming thought about the "many years" that she had lost, he could not help but show a cold face and felt a great pain in his heart.
He put his big hand on her shoulder and patted her twice to comfort her.
Sang Yuanyuan shook her head and laughed happily: "Idiots who think they are smart are the real idiots.
Big brother is different!
— From the inside to the outside, big brother is full of idiocy! "
Sang Bujin: "…" For a moment, he thought she was going to compliment him?
Sang Yuanyuan raised her head to look at You Wuming with a smile: "Don't you think so?"
Suddenly, she bumped into his eyes.
Both of them felt as if their eyes had been burned as they quickly turned their heads away. Their hearts suddenly skipped a few beats.
You Wuming thought with astonishment, in the past, who was the one that had spoken such nonsense in front of him?
What did it mean that once a man got what he wanted, he would not cherish it?
Currently, Little Sang Guo seemed to be carrying a flame. If you looked at her more, your heart would be burned to the point of pain. When you thought about it more deeply, you would only hate that you could not give your soul to her. How could this be called not cherishing it?
Sang Yuanyuan's heart was also churning with huge waves. So the feeling of being in love was really like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. It was so terrifying!
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more strange, Sang Bujin felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to grab his hair.
He paced back and forth in irritation.
"I don't know if the Prince Regent has arrived yet." Sang Yuanyuan gave him a way out.
Sang Bujin immediately froze in place, as if his acupoints had been pressed.
Sang Yuanyuan suggested: "Why don't the two of you go out and take a look?"
At this moment, she was truly a bit flustered.
During this period of time, she had clearly been with You Wuming day and night, but she suddenly felt like a young girl experiencing her first awakening of love. When she saw him, she was extremely embarrassed.
She felt that she needed to be alone.
You Wuming clearly had the same thoughts as her.
He stepped forward and hooked his arm around Sang Bujin's neck, then strode out of the hall.
Stepping out of the hall, he tugged at his clothes and took half a step back, pretending to be an imperial guard.
After watching the two leave, Sang Yuanyuan stood by the door and smiled for a moment, then slowly looked around.
This Phoenix Return Hall was specially decorated exactly the same as the Returning Cloud Hall that she had lived in before.
Han Shaoling had put some thought into it and clearly expressed to her that he wanted to rekindle old memories with her.
Unfortunately, that was only a nightmare for her.
Fortunately, someone had pulled her out of that nightmare.
She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, inadvertently revealing a sweet smile.
When did she truly fall in love with You Wuming?
She couldn't say for sure.
She leaned against the carved wooden door frame and tilted her head, her gaze becoming increasingly distant.
"Sanger."
Suddenly, an extremely deep and magnetic voice came from behind her.
Sang Yuanyuan jumped in fright.
When she turned around, she saw Han Shaoling standing in the middle of the hall, dressed in black, staring at her.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"
She patted her chest.
It was normal, it was normal for the male lead to suddenly appear in the female lead's boudoir. Sang Yuanyuan didn't think of herself as a 'supporting female lead'.
If she died, she would undoubtedly be a supporting female lead. But if she lived, she was definitely more qualified to be the female lead than Meng Wuyou.
"How long have you been here?" She greeted him naturally.
Han Shaoling was stunned for a moment, the rhythm that he had thought of was completely disrupted: "… … I just arrived. I saw Heir Sang leave, so I came to see you."
"Actually, we are not that close."
Sang Yuanyuan said sincerely, "You calling me that is too intimate and greasy. It is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Her attitude was too natural and sincere. Han Shaoling's mouth twitched a few times, but he was speechless.
"Were you thinking of me just now?" He took two steps closer.
In fact, he had secretly looked at her for a while. When he saw her leaning against the carved door, the smile on her face was as ethereal as the clouds, but it emitted traces of refreshing sweetness. It made his heart feel happy.
This was his palace. Who else could she be thinking of other than him when she was smiling like this?
"I am thinking of my unmarried husband." Sang Yuanyuan answered generously.
Han Shaoling's breathing stopped, and his heart thumped wildly. Instantly, he decided to abandon the agreement with the State King of Qin.
He knew that the person in front of him was just a little jealous lover. If he wanted to catch her and Qin Wushuang in one fell swoop, she would certainly fight him to the death.
He lowered his head and smiled confidently and charmingly.
Sang Yuanyuan added with a serious expression: "I am not talking about you.
I am already engaged. This time, I am accompanying my brother to see my wife. "
Han Shaoling: "… …" The information was too much, and he couldn't react for a while.
"Who are you engaged to?
A nobody. "Han Shaoling frowned tightly," Sang Yuanyuan, are you going to throw away everything?
Why care about how people look at you. Even if I had been with You Wuming, so what, I don't care.
How could you dismiss yourself so casually? "
Sang Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It seemed that her father had cleaned up everything thoroughly. Now, there were no more spies in the Sang State. After a few days, not a single piece of news about her engagement with You Wuming had leaked out.
"It's the person I like." She laughed, "Just now, I was thinking about him."
Han Shaoling laughed with disdain and said: "I have already advanced to the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Brilliance Stage. In this world, I do not have many opponents.
I know that you care a lot about being sullied by You Wuming. I will certainly kill him to avenge you. When he dies, you don't have to feel sorry for me.
Sang Yuanyuan, open your eyes and take a good look at the man standing in front of you. He will reach the peak and become the true ruler of Cloud State's Eighteen States.
This kind of opportunity, are you sure you want to give it to someone else just because you are angry? "
Sang Yuanyuan understood.
So he had survived a great disaster and jumped several levels, which was why he was so arrogant.
The Overbearing Prince was indeed conceited. His thoughts were always' she lost her chastity and had no face to be with him 'or' she deliberately found another man to make him angry and jealous'.
Did he not realize that the reason she rejected him was actually very simple?
Sang Yuanyuan laughed: "It's not that complicated. I just don't like you."
Han Shaoling laughed lightly: "I don't believe you.
What's wrong with me? "
"You can't even fly." She said with a smile.
Han Shaoling's forehead twitched.
He realized that he really couldn't understand this woman in front of him.
After the effects of the One Heart Contract disappeared, he had been clear-headed for a while and felt like he had been possessed. In reality, he wasn't that infatuated with Sang Yuanyuan.
But gradually, he began to unconsciously compare the woman beside him with the Sang Yuanyuan in his memories. The more he compared, the more he felt that this woman was one of a kind in the heavens.
Adding on the fact that she had abandoned him, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He had seen her pretend to be dignified, he had seen her straighten her back in the sea of fire and blood, he had seen her sweat dripping down like rain, and he had seen her slash into Ming Mo's body with a knife that was not suitable for her.
But he had forgotten that she had such a naive side.
She was wearing an ice blue silk dress, like a piece of sweet and cool candy.
This piece of candy, she was still pestering him endlessly.
Couldn't fly?
What a joke, did her so-called fiancé know how to fly?
Did she take a fancy to a moth?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"You bothersome little demon!"
At this time, Han Shaoling didn't know what he was thinking. Just like every overbearing CEO who was bursting with self-confidence, he firmly believed that this woman must also love him in her heart. But because she was jealous and angry, she deliberately threw a tantrum at him.
If that wasn't the case, why would she say something as absurd as a moth?
Sang Yuanyuan shivered even more as she stared at him in horror.
As expected of the male lead of an ancient sadomasochistic novel, he was able to blurt out classic lines. Amazing!
She stared at him and calmly took a step back out of the main hall.
Sang Zhou's personal guards were standing guard in the corridor in front of everyone. Han Shaoling shouldn't be able to do something as stupid as forcing himself on her.
Seeing her like this, Han Shaoling's heart itched even more.
The person in front of him, whether it was her appearance, temperament, or temperament, everything was perfect. She was extremely cute.
Compared to her, Meng Wuyou really fell short. Just like You Wuming said, she was a fake.
And a fake of poor quality.
He smiled bitterly. "Don't worry, I won't touch you.
I just want to ask you one thing — if it wasn't for Meng Wuyou, would you have left my side?
Sang Yuanyuan, I really don't understand. Since you fell in love at first sight, why did you insist on setting the wedding date six years later?
That year, I was already twenty-four years old. I was the ruler of a country. How could I have waited for you until you were thirty? "
Sang Yuanyuan calmly pursed her lips and looked at him.
Han Shaoling continued to smile bitterly. "If you had directly married me back then, if it was you, I would have been willing to be with you for the rest of my life.
I wouldn't have married You Yingyue again. Naturally, I wouldn't have touched a fake like Meng Wuyou.
I would have given you the best of everything and grown old with you hand in hand.
But, why did you have to test me?
Why did you have to make me wait for you for six years?
Sang Yuanyuan, human nature can't withstand a test. Do you understand? "
She frowned and slowly thought about it.
If it was that wooden figurine Princess Sang who was carved according to female virtues, what reason did she have to make Han Shaoling wait for six years?
None.
Even she herself wouldn't be able to make such a willful and rude request.
Unless there was an extremely special reason.
For example, did she know that she would be gone for six years?
Sang Yuanyuan's scalp went numb. She hurriedly took a few breaths and calmed herself down.
"I don't remember." She looked up at him blankly. "You know, after I woke up from my coma, I forgot a lot of things.
I don't remember being engaged to you back then, and I don't remember making such an unreasonable request.
Can you tell me more about it? "
Han Shaoling smiled dotingly.
He said, "At that time, I had just quelled the internal strife in the State of Korea. I suddenly had some free time and felt quite bored.
Coincidentally, I heard that there was a good girl in the State of Sang who was about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, so I went.
The first time I saw you, you were among a field of ice silkworms. You raised your head and glanced at me. I couldn't help but stop and ask you, 'Aren't you afraid of those worms?'
You caught one and brought it to me, letting me see that ice-blue translucent silkworm body. It was like a crystal and extremely cute.
You were just as cute among the dwarf mulberries.
I suddenly wanted to marry a wife. "
Sang Yuanyuan nodded lightly and thought, 'It's just as he said. This is indeed like me, and it's not like what my father and brother said — I changed when I saw Han Shaoling.'
Then, when did the problem start?
"What a pity." She tilted her head and smiled at him. "Our meeting was quite beautiful."
His expression became absent-minded for a moment. "Yes.
At that time, I didn't have any schemes or interests in mind, so I thought that it would be quite interesting to marry this silkworm girl and let her raise silkworms in a palace.
That's why I planned to ask about this silkworm girl after attending the banquet in the palace. "
"And then?" She asked curiously.
"And then, I saw you at the coming-of-age ceremony." Han Shaoling's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence. "Do you know how ecstatic I was at that moment?
Such a good woman, like a silkworm fairy who fell from the sky, was actually the Sang Province's princess who was a match for me.
It was truly a heaven-sent match. "
Sang Yuanyuan looked at him calmly, faintly feeling some vague emotions in her heart.
"And then?" she asked.
"And then you saw me.
You stared blankly for a moment, then smiled at me.
Sanger. At that moment, I thought in my heart, 'This is my Sanger. I want her, I want to spoil her for the rest of my life!'
After the ceremony, you went to the rear hall.
I immediately proposed marriage to Sang Province's King. After he asked you, he told me that you could agree, but the wedding would have to wait for six years.
I didn't understand, so I thought of a way to find you, but you didn't want to talk to me. You only put on a virtuous and businesslike face. "
Sang Yuanyuan thought to herself, 'At that time, it was obviously no longer me!'
The problem occurred shortly after the coming-of-age ceremony. If it was done by someone, then this person must have been one of the people who attended the coming-of-age ceremony!
Later, she would have to ask her parents to carefully recall the situation at that time and see if she could find any clues.
She raised her eyes to look at Han Shaoling and thought, 'At that time, I was only fifteen years old. When I suddenly saw Han Shaoling, a handsome and extraordinary man with an extraordinary temperament, it was normal for me to have some feelings for him. But no matter what, I couldn't rashly let a man I had only met once wait for six years.
What kind of brainless Mary Sue would test someone like that? '
"You actually agreed." Her gaze was somewhat complicated.
"I agreed." Han Shaoling smiled bitterly. "I agreed to let the position of the main wife remain empty for six years, waiting for you.
The next year, for various reasons, I married You Yingyue.
If I had known this would happen, I think I would have waited for you. "
Sang Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "For someone you don't even know the details of, it's not worth it to go to that step.
State of Han King, for you to agree to such an unreasonable request is already very thoughtful.
I understand, you don't have to blame yourself.
You and I are just not fated to be together. "
Han Shaoling was unwilling to let go. "But I regret it. Can you give me another chance?
You are the most special existence in my heart, the first time in my life that my heart has moved, and also the woman I will love the most for the rest of my life.
I will conquer this country and give it to you as a betrothal gift. How about it?
In this world, only I can give you such a promise. "
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …" It was rare for us to have a normal conversation, why was he possessed by a boss again?
"Ha!
State of Han King, what a big tone!
Aren't you afraid of choking yourself! "An extremely clear and bright female voice sounded out.
Sang Yuanyuan's heart leapt with joy, and she turned to look.
Yun Xuzhou was wearing a thick white robe, with deep blue ripples hanging from her sleeves and skirt. She looked like she was carrying a huge wave as she strode over with large strides.
Sang Bujin's ears were slightly red as he walked beside Yun Xuzhou.
You Wuming narrowed his eyes and raised the corner of his lips. Like a ghost, he swept in front of Sang Yuanyuan and lazily raised an arm to protect her behind him.
Han Shaoling's expression didn't change, and he smiled and bowed. "I'm just reminiscing about old times with Princess Sang.
In the blink of an eye, more than six years have passed. Princess Sang is innocent and pure, just like when we first met. I can't help but sigh with emotion.
I still have matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Everyone, please help yourselves. "
After he finished speaking, he waved his wide sleeves and strode out of Phoenix Return Hall.
You Wuming slowly turned around and stared at Sang Yuanyuan.
His burning gaze made her feel a little flustered and short of breath.
He grabbed her shoulders like he was holding a little chick and dragged her into the inner hall.
"Little Sang Guo." He ground his teeth and asked in a dangerous tone, "Just like when you first met him?
What kind of innocent and pure words did you say to him, hm? "
Sang Yuanyuan glanced at him and replied in a low voice, "I told him that the person I like can fly.
He probably thought I was joking, right? "
You Wuming: "?!"
