The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

"You bastard prince, you took the wrong medicine! I don't want to be your concubine!"

While cursing, Xu Keke threw pillows, vases, and even embroidered shoes at him.

Chu Musheng dodged left and right, easily avoiding the flying objects, and watched her making a fuss with a smile.

"You can't help but be interested! It's your honor that the king has taken a fancy to you!"

Tired of smashing, Xu Keke panted and put his hands on his hips.

"Honor? You want to make me a nobody, or it's my honor? There's no such thing as that."

As he said that, he picked up another stool and threw it over.

Chu Musheng dodged to the side, and the stool hit the door with a loud "clang".

He took a sudden step forward and grabbed Xu Keke's wrist.

"Little girl, don't push your luck! You're trying to murder your husband!"

Chu Musheng shouted loudly.

"Husband? You wish!"

Xu Keke picked up the fruits on the table and threw them over one by one.

"I'm telling you today, even if all the men in the world die, I will never be anyone's concubine."

Chu Musheng waved his hand, blocking all the fruits, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Xu, I really like your silly behavior these days! But don't even think about escaping from my grasp!"

Xu Keke widened her eyes and roared angrily.

"Psycho Prince, what on earth do you like about me? I will change immediately!"

Chu Musheng suddenly pulled her closer and stared into her eyes.

"Obey me, or you'll be in trouble!"

After saying that, he kissed Xu Keke's lips domineeringly.

Xu Keke's eyes widened instantly. She had never expected that Chu Musheng would still be in such a mood after being hit by something by her.

For a moment, I forgot to struggle.

After a long while, Chu Musheng let her go.

Xu Keke's face flushed red, and she raised her hand to slap Chu Musheng.

Chu Musheng grabbed her hand with a playful look in his eyes.

"What? You still want to hit me? If you hit me, it's a crime of treason, punishable by death according to the law."

Xu Keke's face turned pale when he heard this.

Things have gotten out of hand, and the Regent is finally going to chop off his own head.

Chu Musheng touched her pale face and coaxed her with a smile.

"I forgive you for your ignorance, but this will not happen again."

Xu Keke's hands grabbed and scratched the air for a while, and finally dropped down helplessly.

Looking at the mess in the room, Xu Keke walked over to the relatively intact couch and sat down.

She was tired and didn't dare to make any more trouble. If the Regent really wanted to chop off her head, she would have nowhere to complain.

Chu Musheng walked over and sat next to her, took her hand and rubbed it for her.

"Did you hurt your hand?"

Xu Keke stared blankly ahead, ignoring him, with a silly expression that showed the greatest sorrow was a dead heart.

Chu Musheng's palms were large and powerful, somewhat rough from years of martial arts training, forming a sharp contrast with Xu Keke's hands.

Seeing that Xu Keke was now obedient, Chu Musheng spoke softly.

"This king does not want you to be his concubine. Are you willing to marry him and become his princess? This king will not pester you forever. Nine years will be enough, maybe even shorter."

"What do you mean? Your Highness, are you saying that after nine years, you will divorce me or reconcile with me?"

Xu Keke calmed down and turned to look at Chu Musheng.

Since we can't get rid of him, we might as well negotiate terms with the Regent.

Contract marriage and the like are not unacceptable.

Chu Musheng frowned slightly and spoke softly.

"This king is not going to divorce you after nine years, but life span is unpredictable. This king may not be able to make a lifelong commitment to you, so I make a nine-year agreement with you.

This king promises you that as long as I live, I will protect you and grant you the wealth and glory that I can give you."

Xu Keke had a blank expression on her face. She turned her not-so-bright brain and began to think.

Is this crazy prince going to give himself nine years of compulsory education?

I am sixteen this year, and I will only be twenty-five in nine years. By then, I will be out of the control of the Regent and have plenty of time.

If you just live a little, perhaps nine years will pass in a flash!

How comfortable and happy would it be to take away the huge amount of money given by the Regent?

Stay calm, stay calm. You can think whatever you want in your heart, but you can't say it out loud.

"I dare not trust your words, Your Highness. I do not seek wealth and glory. I only seek to live freely."

Chu Musheng's eyes became more gentle, but he also had his bottom line.

"You will have a certain degree of freedom by my side. As long as you don't betray me."

Xu Keke narrowed her eyes slightly and began her little plan.

"Then Your Highness must agree to a few conditions. First, you must protect my family and friends; second, you must show me enough respect in front of outsiders; third, if I ever want to leave, Your Highness must not stop me."

Chu Musheng's face darkened:

"I can agree to the first two, but I won't agree to the third."

Xu Keke rolled her eyes at Chu Musheng.

"Then I won't get married!"

Chu Musheng snorted coldly, and once again realized that women really cannot be spoiled. He had already given her all the promises he could give, but she still wanted to leave him.

"It's fine if you don't want to get married. You and your friends and family can just stay in the prison of the Ministry of Justice! This time, no one will clean your cell or bring you water or food."

Xu Keke...

I thought of the dark and damp prison of the Ministry of Justice and the rats running around everywhere.

There were also waves of wailing from the tortured prisoners, like leeches attached to her bones, making her shudder.

Suddenly I couldn't be more cowardly.

"Your Highness, calm down. I'll obey. Isn't that enough? We agreed it would only be nine years!"

Seeing that she had given in, Chu Musheng's expression softened a little and he pulled her up.

"In that case, follow me to the front yard and together we'll tell your mother at home so she can rest assured."

Xu Keke reluctantly followed Chu Musheng to the front yard.

When they arrived at the front yard, the second wife saw the two men coming together, and hurried forward to respectfully salute the Regent.

"Madam Xu, there's no need to be so polite. Today, I went to the White Jade Taoist Temple to meet with Master Yunxiao to discuss our engagement. Keke and I are a match made in heaven.

This prince and Coco have agreed that we will get married after the Empress Dowager's 1000th birthday banquet, and Coco will be this prince's princess consort."

Chu Musheng raised his hand and said.

A guard came in with a large red envelope and handed it to the Second Madam.

"This is the marriage certificate between the prince and Miss Xu. Madam Xu, please keep it."

The second wife was surprised and happy. Although she was surprised that the prince had his daughter's birth date and horoscope, she didn't care.

If the prince wants to know, there are countless ways to find out.

The second wife quickly thanked him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am truly blessed to have your favor."

Xu Keke curled her lips and muttered to herself.

What a match made in heaven! It's obviously forced. Your daughter is compromising for the sake of this whole family!

Chu Musheng glanced at Xu Keke, as if he could see through her thoughts, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Madam Xu, Miss Xu has a simple personality. When she enters the palace in the future, please rest assured that I will protect her well."

Mother Xu nodded repeatedly: "With the prince's words, this minister feels at ease."

Xu Keke secretly pinched Chu Musheng's arm.

She thought she had quite a bit of strength in her hands, but Chu Musheng didn't even frown.

Xu Keke thought secretly, didn’t he promise to give her enough respect outside?

Then I will pinch him hard in front of others, and he will have to endure it.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.
