The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Shen Yu was about to nod when she didn't notice that he used the title "Madam" again.

But it was obvious that Lu Yingxing had no intention of letting her express her opinion. "As the next Prince Zhuo, I am destined to return to Zhuo City in the north... There, besides me, the lady has the final say. The relationship in the mansion is simple. There are no elders or sisters-in-law. It's just us and the servants in the mansion."

"Zhuocheng is the farthest from the imperial city and is located on the border, but it covers the largest area. It has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and each county has nearly a hundred towns. The products in different regions are slightly different, so the fiefdom is basically self-sufficient."

"As for the climate, in summer, the grass is green and it's a good place to ride horses and drink wine. In winter, it's covered with ice and snow, so you can have snowball fights and chat around the fire. We have six major festivals a year, and different ingredients are produced in different seasons. Although life is not rich, the residents are kind and optimistic, and everyone just wants to live and work in peace and contentment."

"I wonder if this future is what Madam imagined?"

Lu Yingxing's lips curled slightly, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if a beautiful blueprint was unfolding before your eyes with this deep voice.

Shen Yu couldn't help but want to give Lu Yingxing a thumbs up. Look, he is indeed a paper man who has seen the world. He is really good at fooling people...

[If I hadn’t investigated it earlier, I might have believed his lies…]

[Do I look like a fool? Do you think you can fool me with just your mouth? ]

Lu Yingxing: “…………” Wrong decision.

"Well, of course. I've been away from Zhuocheng for a long time. Although I've been in contact, the actual situation still needs my wife and I to go back together to check, but the basic situation is almost like this."

Shen Yu: “…………”

[It seems that yours is similar to mine, but there is still a big difference...]

The Linyue Kingdom where she lived was a fictitious dynasty and had nothing to do with any familiar history.

The Linyue Kingdom was ruled by the emperor and four royal dukes in five cities: Beizhuo City on the border of the snow-capped mountains, Nanyun City surrounded by high mountains, Xili City bordering the sea, Dongyou City adjacent to the ancient forest, and the imperial capital Luocheng located in the center of the four cities. It was the most prosperous and was roughly equivalent to the extravagant and decadent ancient Chang'an.

Among them, Zhuo City, where Lu Yingxing succeeded to the throne, was the most barren. Its territory was connected to a large snow-capped mountain border, as if Zhuo City had built a long protection belt for the other four cities at the cost of itself.

Facing the invasion of ice and snow in winter and the relentless plundering from neighboring countries, the people are basically at a stage where they can have enough to eat. This is really incomparable to the stable and affluent life in other cities.

This situation was also due to the heroic sacrifice of the previous King Zhuo twelve years ago, who led 50,000 elite troops in a desperate situation with no food or reinforcements at home, and died together with the King of Beirong in exchange for the opportunity to recuperate.

Apart from paying fixed taxes to the imperial city on a regular basis, the five cities of Linyue State basically developed on their own and were self-sufficient. It was common knowledge that the other four cities quietly suppressed the development of Zhuocheng.

Therefore, the reborn heroine in the book would rather pretend to fall off a cliff than marry to Zhuocheng. Shen Yu expressed his understanding! After all, there are wolves all around, and the hardware is poor. It is obvious that a death card is about to be issued. Whoever goes there will be a fool...

"Madam?" Seeing that she was about to daydream again, Lu Yingxing whispered.

"Well, Your Majesty, I am actually just an ordinary person. I don't want to get involved in the lives of you upper-class dignitaries."

"Madam is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She is not an ordinary person. Even if she doesn't marry me, the status of the husband she will marry in the future will definitely not be low."

Shen Yu was about to say something when Lu Yingxing interrupted, "And... even if I agree to let Madam go, are you sure that Minister Shen will let you marry freely?"

"So I said fake death."

"Where can I find someone who looks exactly like my wife to keep by my side?" His tone was inexplicably aggrieved.

"What does this have to do with me?" Shen Yu said as a matter of course, since they were not familiar with each other.

Lu Yingxing looked at the girl with a stern expression, and his patience was exhausted by her stubborn attitude.

The policy of appeasement was useless... So he put away his gentleness and returned to his usual cold and distant attitude, "In this case, let's talk about cooperation."

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows. That's right. They are all vixens. Why are they pretending to be in love? She raised her hand and motioned him to continue.

Turning the cup in his hand, he said nonchalantly: "I need a wife. When I go to the palace to thank the emperor tomorrow and when I return to Zhuocheng, I will need a princess to help me in public, and this person will definitely be won over by the emperor..."

"So? You want me to pretend to be wooed?"

[This double agent game is my life, brother]

"Madam, what should you consider is, what leverage do you, or your Shen family, have on him? Otherwise, he will definitely not agree to use you to arrange the marriage..." After saying this, he took a sip of tea elegantly, and was very satisfied to finally see her speechless.

"…………" Shen Yu was indeed asked this question, and she finally realized for the first time: When it comes to palace fighting and power intrigue, she, a computer genius, really cannot beat these ancient people.

She had always relied on the original book's plot. In her mind, Lu Yingxing was just a cannon fodder, and his wife's function was to be used for framing after death, so she had never considered other possibilities...

She was blinded by one thing. The book described a successful frame-up, but the planner had to consider plan B in case of failure...

That Nanny Fang left so decisively, it must be because she had a backup plan. As for this chess piece of hers, there was no way it would be wasted after all the trouble of marrying her into the family... Tsk, what a hassle!

She looked up at the handsome man in ancient style opposite her. He was handsome in red clothes, distant and polite, and not at all docile like he was just now when he wanted to deceive the ignorant girl... He really had evil intentions! !

Seeing him leaning back in his chair and looking into her eyes, there was only depth and scrutiny in those calm eyes.

[Look, I don't know what you are plotting against me]

[You are obviously a big bad wolf, why are you pretending to be a little white rabbit?]

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Lu Yingxing's lips...

Shen Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look out the window. This luxurious wedding was a scam from beginning to end.

Her slender fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and she sorted out the relationship between Prince Zhuo's Mansion and the emperor in her mind...

Today, the Lu Dynasty has been passed down to the sixth generation. The Linyue Kingdom is led by the emperor, called the emperor, and the emperors of the other four cities each perform their duties and assist him, and are called dukes.

The emperor of Chudai and the princes were brothers from the same father and mother. The eldest brother was crowned emperor, and the second, third, fourth and fifth brothers were each given a title. The fiefdom of each generation was inherited by his own heirs, but as the bloodline was diluted with each generation, the saying "blood is thicker than water" had long been in name only.

According to the original author's setting, the emperor and the princes are all in their own positions and no one can kill anyone else. For hundreds of years, the five cities have maintained a delicate balance.

The only person who broke the rules was the previous emperor of Luocheng. He was so crazy that he confessed his love to Prince Zhuo's sister... He even publicly promised that as long as she was willing to marry him, and after giving birth to a prince, her son would inherit the throne of the emperor of Luocheng.

When this statement was made, Linyue was in uproar, and the emperors from all over the country said: This statement awakened the dreamer! !
