Chapter 363 Okay, it’s all up to you
For the sake of his son, the Prince of the Sea hurriedly ate lunch and then rushed to the palace to ask for help from his younger brother, King Yingye.
"I will go out of my way to introduce Chu'er to any girl he likes, but I can't match him with the one from the Imperial Master's residence." After hearing his brother's words, Ying Ye's shock gradually deepened into a frown, and finally he shook his head and said in a decisive tone.
"Hey, I have advised Chu'er at home: the national master is now a great contributor to my Xuanmeng country, and is highly valued by the monarch. The transformation of the Xuanmeng cavalry still depends on him. How can you, an uneducated and unskilled dandy, be qualified to compete with the national master for a woman?"
Prince Hai didn't expect that his younger brother would ignore his own nephew for the sake of the Imperial Master. He couldn't help but feel a little blamed, but he didn't dare to overstep the line and could only sigh sarcastically.
"Brother, don't be unconvinced. Although Chu'er is my nephew, he is indeed an uneducated playboy. How can he be compared with the national teacher?" Ying Ye naturally heard the sarcasm in his brother's tone, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled helplessly.
"After all, we are family. The king can't just watch Chu'er remain single for the rest of his life, right?" Prince Hai suddenly jumped up from his chair, walked up to Ying Ye with his hands spread out and said anxiously.
"You really believe him when he says he will never marry?" Ying Ye snorted coldly and continued disapprovingly: "How about this, I will find him a marriage partner in a few days. He is indeed not young anymore and it is time for him to settle down and have a family."
"But Chu'er is going to marry Miss Ying from the Imperial Master's Mansion!" Prince Hai was so angry at his brother that he was speechless. He was so angry that he dared not vent his anger and his face turned red.
"Chu'er is so old now, you can't keep pampering him! Now the national master is staying in the military camp every day to train cavalry in order to strengthen the military strength of Xuan Meng. I am the king of a country, and at this time I should fully support the national master so that he has no worries. How can I do something that will disappoint the national master for my own selfish reasons?" Seeing that his brother was not giving in, Ying Ye immediately frowned and said sternly.
The Sea Prince was so angry that he could not listen to a word, so he just sulked silently beside him. Ying Ye had no choice but to calm down and stand up to approach him and continue to whisper: "Brother, you don't know that the Ying girl in the Imperial Master's Mansion is not an ordinary woman. She is the younger sister of the former Emperor Lang Ning Xi, the former Princess Luoying of Lang Kingdom."
"What? She is Princess Luoying? But according to the outside world, didn't Princess Luoying and Crown Prince Ying Yan both die in the sea of fire on the night when the capital of Langguo was breached?" When Prince Hai heard this, he was shocked, and his anger immediately dissipated. He just asked out of curiosity.
Although Princess Luoying of Lang Kingdom lived in the deep palace since she was a child and rarely appeared in public, Prince Hai had also heard of her stunning beauty. However, he was naturally skeptical because he had not seen it with his own eyes before. But today, when he saw his son's crazy look, he believed the rumors were true.
"Princess Luoying and the Imperial Preceptor grew up together as childhood sweethearts. In everyone's eyes, they are a perfect match. If Lang Kingdom had not been destroyed, Emperor Lang Ning Xi should have arranged a marriage for them a year ago. Unfortunately..." Ying Ye did not respond directly to his brother's curiosity. Instead, he looked into the distance outside the palace and murmured a sigh. He suddenly turned around and continued, "This pair of star-crossed lovers are still together now. How can you bear to separate them, big brother? Besides, although the Imperial Preceptor is young, he is as infatuated as you, big brother!"
The reason why Ying Ye knew such detailed information was naturally not because Shangguan Jiuyi told him in person, but because he found out from Qi Xuanlin in private.
At that time, Shangguan Jiuyi was still in mourning in the mansion. Qi Xuanlin was summoned to the palace alone. After learning that the king had discovered that Princess Luoying and Prince Yingyan were hiding in Shangguan Mansion, he was worried that his good friend would be held accountable, so he did not dare to hide the truth about the relationship between Shangguan Jiuyi and Princess Luoying and pleaded for them.
King Yingye naturally would not blame Shangguan Jiuyi. Instead, he was moved by the fact that this pair of poor children could still love and stay together after experiencing the destruction of their country, the demise of their families, and the separation of life and death. However, since Shangguan Jiuyi did not confess to him, he had to pretend that he knew nothing about it.
Although the Prince of the Sea remained silent, he believed in his heart that whether in terms of their background or their talents and appearance, the Imperial Preceptor and Princess Luoying were indeed a perfect match made in heaven!
"Brother, the fact that Miss Ying is Princess Luoying is very serious. Don't let it get out. If the West Moon Country knows about it, it will be troublesome."
After seeing that his son's plan to marry his ideal woman was unsuccessful, Prince Hai hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to return to the palace. Before leaving, Ying Ye once again gave him a serious reminder.
Hearing that the matter was of great importance, Prince Hai naturally knew his limits. After making a solemn promise, he turned around and told his princess. After all, he really couldn't lie in front of his wife.
After being informed by his mother, Prince Yingchu also learned that Miss Ying was the stunningly beautiful Princess Lang, Luoying. He was not too surprised and even felt that this was reasonable. However, what made him disheartened was that she and the Imperial Master were childhood sweethearts, and their mutual affection was highly praised by the monarch.
Seeing their son in such a state of distraught, Neptune and his wife felt heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do but persuade him with tears in their eyes.
There was a gentle breeze under the moon. Luoying sat in the pavilion in her yard, supporting half of her head with one hand, gazing at the full moon in the sky with a gradually blurred gaze. Before she knew it, she was feeling sleepy. Just when her head was about to hit the stone table, a warm hand supported her in time.
“Jiuyi!” Luoying woke up instantly when she saw the white clothes as white as snow and the gentle and peerless face. She happily threw herself into his arms and continued to act coquettishly, “Why did you come back so late today?”
"There were some problems with the training in the camp today, so it was delayed for a long time." Shangguan Jiuyi bent his radiant peach blossom eyes, gently hugged Luoying, and spoke softly.
"What happened? Are you hurt?" Luoying stood up hurriedly and asked. She felt relieved when she saw that there were no unusual stains on his white clothes.
"The mistakes made during training are not a big deal, don't worry." Shangguan Jiuyi immediately took her hand and explained.
"I'm glad you're okay." Luoying smiled gently, and pulled Shangguan Jiuyi back to the stone table. She moved a plate of flower cakes on the table over and continued, "I bought some flower cakes on Flower Street today. Try them."
"Okay." Shangguan Jiuyi casually picked up a piece of flower cake and put it to his mouth. The flower fragrance had already permeated his heart before he took a bite, which really made him a little greedy. So he took a light bite and chewed it slightly, then nodded to Luoying who was looking at him expectantly and said, "The flower fragrance is sweet and melts in the mouth. It's delicious."
"I said it was delicious, but Yingyan and Brother Chenming thought it was too greasy. It's Jiuyi and I who agree." Luoying was so happy to hear that that her face smiled.
"Luoying, after we're done with this, we'll get married, okay?" Looking at her beautiful smile, Shangguan Jiuyi's eyes were filled with endless doting. He suddenly put down the flower cake, turned around solemnly, and asked affectionately.
Luoying was caught off guard and her face immediately turned red with shame. She lowered her eyes and looked at the pair of black silk bracelets on her wrists, but she couldn't help feeling sad. She could finally marry Jiuyi as she wished, but they were both gone.
"Luoying? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Luoying just lowered her head and remained silent, Shangguan Jiuyi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He pursed his lips and asked nervously.
As soon as she finished asking, Luoying threw herself into his arms again, hugged his slender waist tightly, and choked up, "Okay, whatever you say."
When Shangguan Jiuyi heard this, he was so overjoyed that tears welled up in his eyes.
