Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 280 A tacit understanding

Xue Huang didn't say anything after hearing this, she just said: "Then go back to sleep first, I will go ask him now."

Mo Xingyue nodded, "Okay."

Xue Huang digested her words and walked towards Su Linjin's room.

Along the way, I was thinking about how to start the conversation.

After all, the last time she helped someone find a marriage was when she helped her aunt in Muhua City, but that was a mutual love, so there was no need for any nonsense and they could just get married directly.

But Mo Xingyue and Su Linjin are different. The situation between them has not reached that point.

Xue Huang came to Su Linjin's door in a dilemma. Before she knocked, she saw him open the door and walk out.

Su Linjin was also stunned when he saw Xue Huang, but he then pulled Xue Huang in and said, "You're just in time. I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

Xue Huang: Such a familiar opening line.

She was stunned for a moment and looked at him with disbelief.

Su Linjin didn't notice her strangeness and smiled, but in Xuehuang's eyes, it seemed a bit awkward. "I want to marry Bei Ling."

"Don't you want to?"

"I changed my mind."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Just tell me, who made you change your mind?"

"Your good friend. Princess Xingyue."

Xue Huang asked directly: "Do you like her?"

Su Linjin smiled and said, "She is quite interesting and pretty."

"Although you are my uncle, if you are just attracted to her for her beauty, I will beat you so hard that you can't even get up!"

"Am I that kind of person?" Su Linjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I really think she is very cute and special. She is obviously the most beloved princess in Beiling, but she lives so clearly and soberly. She is even so strong that it makes people feel distressed."

Xue Huang sighed, "Indeed, she was like this when I knew her. She was clearly a princess, but she seemed to be sacrificed at any time, and she understood it better than anyone else."

Su Linjin's expression became more serious, "I think we are a bit similar."

"Yes," Xue Huang said, "You all yearn for freedom and want to live for yourself, but because of your identities you have to take on responsibilities and have a fate you can't escape. And in the face of this fate, you all chose to face it calmly. You two big fools!"

"Since she can't escape, why not choose the one that's best for her?"

"I still say the same thing. Although you are my uncle, I cannot be biased towards you in this matter. I must know, did you marry her just for profit?"

"Of course not. If this person wasn't her, I wouldn't have proposed marriage again. I really think she's a very good girl. She's kind, strong, and sensible. Sometimes she's smart, and sometimes she's silly and cute."

Xue Huang looked at his grin that was almost reaching his ears, and rolled her eyes helplessly, "I'm also very good, very kind, very strong, very sensible, very smart and very cute!"

Su Linjin glanced at her and said with great disdain: "Come on. Apart from being pretty, all you think about is fighting!"

Xue Huang twitched her lips, "It seems that you really like her!"

"nonsense!"

Xue Huang pinched her brows and said, "I think you need to calm down!"

"I'm very calm..." Su Linjin was stunned for a moment, "You guys? What do you mean by 'you guys'? Could it be that she..."

Xue Huang was a little surprised that his brain was working so well at this moment. She smiled helplessly, "I really don't know if God feels sorry for you two fools or if you two are in sync."

Su Linjin smiled foolishly, "You think she thinks so too?"

Xue Huang couldn't help but kick him, "You are the prince of Dong Chu after all, can you please stop acting so worthless?"

Su Linjin immediately became serious, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Xue Huang sighed, "Since you all have this idea, then of course I have no reason to stop you. I just hope you get what you want."

Su Linjin looked at her and thought that she and Gu Qinglan could not be together. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he felt a little helpless. "You... don't be sad. I don't mean to provoke you."

Xue Huang smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm actually very happy that you two like each other. The fortune teller at the Yue Lao Temple said that Xingyue will get what she wants and marry the person she wants to marry. His words are very accurate. When you have time, ask her to take you to the Yue Lao Temple to fulfill your wish."

Su Linjin didn't say anything.

"Alright," Xue Huang patted him on the shoulder, "I'll leave my good sister to you from now on. Don't bully her!"

"I will." Su Linjin said seriously.

"Then when we go to court tomorrow, do you plan to formally propose marriage?"

"I hope you will keep quiet about this."

Xue Huang was a little confused, "Why?"

"The reason why Emperor Ling did not interfere with your choice is because he knows that you will definitely choose Gu Qinglan, and this situation is still beneficial to the Fifth Prince, so he is happy to see it happen. But if your choice changes, as an emperor, he cannot help but re-evaluate the pros and cons. Even if he will not interfere with your choice in the end, it will become a grudge in his heart. You need to make him understand that even if you do not choose the Fifth Prince's party, you will still help the Fifth Prince, just in a different way."

"Do you think he would agree?"

"I know that my status is not enough to get the Beiling royal family to marry off a princess, but since Princess Xingyue also agrees to this, there is hope."

"She asked for the imperial decree to become the princess of this marriage?"

"Not bad!"

"But in order to facilitate this marriage, you need to offer enough benefits so that Emperor Ling can see the actual benefits."

"Dongchu can also offer a betrothal gift equal to your dowry, but it won't have the hundred war horses. You will then come forward and use the hundred war horses as a betrothal gift."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Can't you take out another hundred war horses?"

"Of course you can," Su Linjin said with a smile, "but you can't give it out so easily. You have to force them to agree to the marriage."

"I understand."

"Do you really understand?" Su Linjin raised his eyebrows. "After you tell me the answer tomorrow, Emperor Ling will definitely summon you alone. He might even be very angry."

"Don't worry." Xue Huang stood up and said, "I have reasons to convince him."

Su Linjin patted her shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Uncle Junior, there is no need for us to thank each other. But I still hope that no matter what the future holds, you can treat Xingyue well and keep her safe and happy for the rest of her life."

"I will." Su Linjin said seriously.

Xue Huang nodded, "Then I'll go back first."

After saying goodbye to Su Linjin, Xue Huang walked towards her room. On the way, she explained to Zhuo Yang and asked Wei Yunzhou to stop Gu Qinglan in the mansion tomorrow, and then returned to her room.

When she entered, she found Mo Xingyue waiting for her inside, already dozing off.

When she heard the voice, she immediately perked up, "You're back?"

Xue Huang smiled helplessly, "Are you so anxious to marry my Junior Master Uncle?"

"I'm not," Mo Xingyue said with a smile, "I'm here to sleep with you."

"I'm not a kid anymore."

"No matter what!" Mo Xingyue stayed on her bed, "I'm going to stay here!"

"As you wish." Xuehuang closed the door, then sat in front of the dressing mirror, took out the hairpin that Gu Qinglan had given her, and put it in the box.

Then she changed her clothes, folded them carefully, and put them in the closet.

Mo Xingyue looked at her with a sigh in her eyes. She stayed here stubbornly, not to ask Su Linjin's decision, but more importantly to accompany Xue Huang. She knew Xue Huang was feeling bad, but Xue Huang still looked calm, which made people feel uneasy.

"I've never seen you wear red before, and it looks really good on you."

Xue Huang sat on the bed, huddled in the quilt with Mo Xingyue. "I can't be Brother Qinglan's wife, so I have to wear red clothes for him once!"

Mo Xingyue held her hand and said, "If you want to cry, just cry. I will be here with you."

Xue Huang shook her head. "Today, I went to many places with Brother Qinglan. They were all places we had been to together before. I held his hand, just like an ordinary couple. Although it was only a short day, I am already satisfied. I just hope that Brother Qinglan will not be sad for too long and can be strong soon."

Mo Xingyue sighed silently. Gu Qinglan had never let go of Xue Huang during the three years since she left. Now they had promised to spend their lives together and were about to get married, but they were separated again. How could he let go so easily when he had to watch his beloved marry someone else?

"Maybe you really shouldn't have come back."

"I just hate myself for wanting to be with him but ended up hurting him."

"Puh, puh, puh!" Mo Xingyue said hurriedly. "I said the wrong thing. I didn't say it was your fault. Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that!"

Xue Huang smiled and patted her hands, "I know. Let's not talk about this anymore. I have good news for you. My junior uncle likes you."

"Really?" Mo Xingyue was a little bit incredulous, but her eyes were full of joy.

"I really didn't expect that," Xue Huang said helplessly, "What do you like about him? Didn't you say that you like men who are free and easy like me? My junior uncle doesn't seem to fit the bill at all!"

"Is there anyone in this world who completely meets expectations?" Mo Xingyue smiled embarrassedly. "Besides, your junior uncle is not completely unqualified! He longs for the freedom of the martial arts world just like me, but he also has things he has to bear. He is kind and righteous. Although he can't give me the freedom I want, he will treat me well. And didn't you say he likes me too?"

Looking at her, Xue Huang couldn't help but sigh that fate was truly fickle.

She used to be an outsider, free and easy, and thought she could stay with Gu Qinglan forever, growing old together, but in the end she had to separate from the one she loved.

Mo Xingyue has been trapped in her fate. Although she did not escape the fate of arranged marriage, she is glad that the person she wants to marry is the one she likes. She did not escape her fate, but she can stay with the one she likes.
