A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

The two got on the carriage and said nothing along the way. It was already dark when they returned to the palace.

The maids had already prepared the food, and Xia Taoyuan pulled Chu Xingluo over to sit down and eat.

She ate as if nothing had happened. Chu Xingluo looked at her and asked, "What did you ask your father for?"

"I proposed to lead troops to attack Xiling Kingdom to avenge the innocent villagers who died unjustly, but the emperor did not agree. He is the king of a country and has just agreed to Xiling Kingdom's peace talks and retrieval of three cities. If he agrees, he will definitely be ridiculed as a fickle villain." Xia Taoyuan explained. She was so upset that she definitely did not want to agree to Ye Linglong marrying Chu Xingluo.

She was in the most uncomfortable state now, and her heart was extremely tormented. First, she could not divorce Chu Xingluo, and second, she could not disobey the order. She could not escape, and now Emperor Ying was monitoring them. In fact, even if she could escape, she did not want to take the risk. If she could only talk about it herself, she was afraid of bringing trouble to the Xiangfu.

She knew in her heart that it was useless to throw a tantrum this time. The emperor had agreed to Ye Linglong in front of all the civil and military officials, and there was no possibility of regret. She had no ability to change the result. She knew that the result was that she had to agree. In the future, she would have to watch Ye Linglong cause trouble in front of her.

After eating, Xia Taoyuan washed up and went to bed: "I'm so tired, let's go to bed early!"

Nanzhu Kingdom, Xiaoyao Palace.

Qi Nanfeng woke up in shock. He dreamed of Xia Taoyuan. He dreamed that she was curled up in a dark corner, her eyes full of fear and her whole body trembling.

He stared at the flickering candlelight on the table, his heart full of worry. Is she in trouble? The more Qi Nanfeng thought about it, the more panicked he became. No, he had to go to North Vietnam, otherwise he would not be at ease.

When he returned from Singapore, he had already made up his mind not to go to North Vietnam again, and decided to keep her deep in his heart.

In order to stop thinking about her, he went to the gambling house to gamble, went to the brothel to spend his days drinking and partying. He even wanted to have affairs with other women to ease his longing for Xia Taoyuan. But every time he wanted to take further action with other women, the image of the stubborn donkey would appear in his mind, making him lose interest in the woman in front of him instantly, and it was like this every time.

He always smiled bitterly: he once said in front of the stubborn donkey that he would remain a virgin for her, and it seemed that his words had come true. He could not have any entanglement with other women.

Qi Nanfeng took out the stolen handkerchief and murmured, "Taotao, wait for me!" Then he stuffed the handkerchief into his arms. Since the night he stole the handkerchief, he called Xia Taoyuan Taotao in his heart.

Beiyue Kingdom, Yunjun City.

Ye Linglong arrived at the palace early in the morning. Emperor Ying was in the morning court, and the eunuch came to report that Princess Wanshou wanted to see him. Emperor Ying frowned and said, "Let her wait!"

The young eunuch received the order and was about to go and notify when Ye Linglong broke in.

Emperor Ying's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water might drip out of it, and all the ministers looked at Ye Linglong in surprise.

"Your Majesty, please help Linglong!" Ye Linglong's voice was full of grievance.

Emperor Ying pinched his brows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Jing's men smashed my residence yesterday, and all the neighbors witnessed the incident." Ye Linglong shed tears of grievance as she spoke.

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with Zhiying. Ye Linglong went to the palace first yesterday and talked nonsense in front of Zhiying. Later, Qingyun was so angry that he went to argue with her." Chu Xingluo was also holding his breath.

Ye Linglong was overjoyed to see Chu Xingluo coming out. She hadn't seen him for many days and she missed him very much. She suppressed her joy and walked towards Chu Xingluo, pretending to be innocent: "I went to the palace because of you. I have been in Beiyue for more than ten days. When I came, the emperor agreed to let me marry you. But you haven't been seen for more than ten days. Where else can I go if I don't go to the palace to find you?"

Facing Ye Linglong's questioning, Chu Xingluo didn't even look at her, and replied coldly: "I don't agree! Give up on this idea!"

Ye Linglong couldn't hold back her anger when she was rejected in front of so many people. She sneered and said, "The emperor has already agreed to it and has taken three cities from me. Is he going to go back on his word now?" She said this not only to Chu Xingluo, but also to Emperor Ying.

Emperor Ying was in a dilemma. If possible, he would like to return the city. But if so, what would he become?

"Okay, you go back first. Now that I have agreed, I will naturally not regret it. Don't worry, I will let you marry into Prince Jing's Mansion within a month!" Emperor Ying felt exhausted.

Ye Linglong snorted in her heart: One month? You are really good at procrastinating.

"I can wait, but my father can't. Within half a month from now, I will marry into Prince Jing's Mansion! Please make the arrangements, Your Majesty!" Ye Linglong looked at Emperor Ying.

Some ministers began to discuss, some said Ye Linglong was too arrogant, and actually bargained with the emperor. Others said that it was a good thing that Prince Jing agreed.

Emperor Ying's face was livid. He was pissed off by Wei Zhiying yesterday, and was so angry at Ye Linglong today that he wanted to smash things. He tried his best to suppress his anger and slowly uttered a few words: "I have my own arrangements. You go back first!"

Ye Linglong glanced at Chu Xingluo and left unwillingly. Emperor Ying was no longer in any mood and announced his withdrawal from the court. Chu Xingluo wanted to catch up and tell Emperor Ying once again that he would not marry Ye Linglong, but was stopped by Eunuch Liu.

Chu Xingluo had no choice but to go back to the house. When he returned to his room, Xia Taoyuan was not there. He wanted to ask the little maid, but when he walked out of the yard, he saw Caiyun. After asking Caiyun, he learned that Xia Taoyuan went to the back garden, so he hurried to the back garden.

From a distance, Xia Taoyuan could be seen swinging on the swing, with her maid Dai'er pushing her from time to time.

As he got closer, he heard Dai'er say, "Miss, what should we do if Ye Linglong really marries His Highness?"

He walked closer, Xia Taoyuan stopped and sighed heavily, "I don't know!"

"Taotao!" Hearing Chu Xingluo's voice, Xia Taoyuan and Dai'er turned around at the same time, and Dai'er left tactfully.

Xia Taoyuan got off the swing and walked straight towards the pavilion on the rockery in the distance, and Chu Xingluo followed her.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Chu Xingluo asked cautiously.

"I just feel upset. I really want to go home, back to my home, and leave this feudal society full of intrigue!" Xia Taoyuan sat on the stone bench with his hands on his chin.

Chu Xingluo was a little panicked when he heard this, and grabbed her hand, fearing that she would suddenly disappear: "No matter where you go, don't leave me behind."

"If I go home, I won't have all these worries." Xia Taoyuan said casually. She didn't know how to face what was going to happen next. She felt tired.

After a while, she didn't hear Chu Xingluo speak. She turned her head and found that Chu Xingluo was looking at her with grievance, and his expression seemed to be about to break. Xia Taoyuan felt distressed, so she stood up and hugged Chu Xingluo.

"I get scared when you talk about going home. I'm afraid you will suddenly disappear, just like you suddenly came to North Vietnam. I'm afraid I can't find you. If you really want to leave, please don't leave me, okay?" Chu Xingluo said with red eyes.

Xia Taoyuan cursed herself secretly. He was only twenty years old, and now was the time to worry about gains and losses. She scared him by saying she was going home. However, if she could really take Chu Xingluo home, she would leave immediately without any nostalgia. But how could she get home?

"Let's go back to the room!" Xia Taoyuan gently pushed Chu Xingluo away, took his hand and left the garden.
