Chapter 107 The Young Prince Wants to Rebellion 28
Chu Jing left the palace, not knowing that the queen had fainted from anger.
When she returned to the Xia Mansion, neither Xia's father nor Xia Bin were there.
This was the first time she truly experienced the helplessness of women in this era.
The Xia family gave her enough freedom. The Xia family raised and educated her like a man. She had the Xia family behind her and was a princess. All these gave her great freedom.
But isn’t the Sixth Princess more noble than her?
She is a legitimate princess and the prince's biological sister, but she is facing the situation of being sent to marry a foreign prince.
Choosing to go to war means that countless sons, husbands or fathers will go to the battlefield and die on the battlefield. Choosing to marry a foreign woman means that women will be sent as sacrifices in exchange for a temporary false peace.
The lives of tens of thousands of people are lives, and the life of one person is also a life.
They are all just victims of the power struggle.
Reality is cruel. It has never changed for thousands of years, and no one can escape it.
Father Xia didn't return home until after ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as Father Xia came back, he saw Chu Jing who had been waiting for him outside the study for a long time.
Father Xia sighed and said, "Come in."
Entering the study, Father Xia sat down at the table and, while rummaging through the documents on the table, asked, "Are you here about the Sixth Princess's matter?"
Chu Jing: "Daddy, is this really necessary for us to marry?"
Chu Jing had already learned from the Sixth Princess that Xia's father was on the side that advocated marriage.
Did Xia's father advocate this because he really had to have a marriage alliance, or was it because the Sixth Princess had a grudge against her and was deliberately seeking revenge?
Chu Jing saw politics from books. She saw cruelty and cold-bloodedness, as well as wisdom and shamelessness.
In those struggles, righteousness and kindness won people's submission, but more often they brought about their own destruction.
She didn't even know how much of the righteousness and kindness of those who finally succeeded were genuine.
Father Xia put down the document in his hand and said to Chu Jing, "Considering the current national conditions, marriage is the best solution."
Chu Jing understood what Father Xia meant.
She said nothing more, but left the study and returned to her yard.
The next day, Chu Jing was reading in his room when someone came to report that Prince Cheng had arrived.
Xie Qiheng did come to the house often.
Chu Jing was about to change clothes and go out when she heard someone say that Xie Qiheng was already outside the yard.
Outside the hospital?
Xie Qiheng had indeed come to the Xia Mansion many times, but she had never allowed him to come to her yard.
"Xiao Jing!"
Xie Qiheng was holding a few small paper bags and a food box.
"Look what I brought you?"
Xie Qiheng put the things on the table, and without asking anyone else for help, he quickly opened a few oil-paper packages, opened the food box, and took out the things inside.
"These are all your favorites! Come and try them!"
Chu Jing took Xie Qiheng's hand and ate a piece of sweet and sticky cake, "Why are you here?"
Xie Qiheng smiled, threw a chestnut into his mouth, and said, "I came here naturally because I missed you. Why can't I come? Doesn't Xiaojing miss me at all?"
"I still think of you every day and bring you a lot of your favorite food."
"The envoys have been in Beijing for the past few days and haven't been able to go out for a good stroll. They must be feeling pent up, right?"
Chu Jing asked the maids to leave, then said, "Did Third Brother ask you to come?"
Xie Qiheng paused and looked at Chu Jing dimly, "What does this have to do with Third Brother? I clearly wanted to come here on my own!"
Chu Jing reached out and took out a few fried chestnuts. She didn't know how fast Xie Qiheng was, but the chestnuts were still hot.
Xie Qiheng took the chestnuts from Chu Jing's hand, peeled them in a few seconds, handed them back to Chu Jing, and turned around to continue peeling them.
Chu Jing ate the chestnuts and said, "It's delicious!"
Xie Qiheng looked at Chu Jing with satisfaction and handed the peeled fruit to Chu Jing. "Of course, I waited in line for a long time to buy it! There were so many people!"
Xie Qiheng could see that Chu Jing was feeling a little heavy-hearted because of the Sixth Princess's marriage.
"Xiao Jing, the Sixth Princess's marriage was not arranged by my father-in-law."
"Even if my father-in-law advocates going to war with the barbarians, the emperor will not agree."
"A marriage in exchange for a few years of peace is what the emperor wants to see!"
"So don't blame your father-in-law wrongly. He's not the kind of person who would resort to such despicable tactics!"
Chu Jing did have a moment of doubt as to whether Father Xia's actions were tainted with some personal grudges.
But she quickly rejected it.
Father Xia is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is important and has a narrow vision.
He advocates peace, which is naturally because peace is the only option under the current circumstances.
How could someone who has spent his whole life in the military be afraid? It's just the best he can do right now.
Chu Jing just felt sad for the woman's situation and the situation of ordinary people.
Chu Jing lowered her eyes and looked at the yellow and fragrant chestnuts that Xie Qiheng had stuffed into her hand. "I know, I don't think so."
"Dad must have his own considerations."
Xie Qiheng dragged a stool and sat down next to Chu Jing. He supported his head with his hand, tilted his head to look at Chu Jing, and then stretched out his other hand to touch Chu Jing's face.
"If that's the case, why is Xiao Jing still so unhappy? Is it because you don't want to see me?"
His Xiaojing is so kind. Just as his father-in-law said, although Xiaojing is smart and studious, he is not suitable for a place like officialdom at all.
The officialdom is full of intrigue and deception, and innocent people are always shedding their blood and sacrificing their lives.
In such a competition, no one knows how strong one must be to keep the kindness in one's heart.
Perhaps in the process of moving forward, the remaining goodness has long been exhausted.
Xiaojing, you don’t need to know so many cruel truths.
He will do everything well.
The Sixth Princess, the Crown Prince...the Emperor.
Seeing his unruly appearance, Chu Jing raised her hand and stuffed the chestnut in her hand into Xie Qiheng's mouth, "That's right, you came to me with bad intentions!"
After all, he is a young man, full of vigor and energy, and has little patience.
Every time I see her, I always try to take advantage of her.
She was so unscrupulous that she didn't know how many times she had seen his little brother.
If they get married, I don’t know how unrestrained they will be.
Xie Qiheng is not a shameless man, and he is even less shameless in front of Chu Jing. He is as shameless as he can be. Hearing Chu Jing say this, he turned the hand that was stroking Chu Jing's cheek and went along the ear to the back of the head.
He pressed forward slightly and couldn't wait to come over and kiss Chu Jing's lips, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Chu Jing had long been accustomed to Xie Qiheng's unruly behavior.
She pushed him away, but he held her tighter.
The young man clung to her like a dodder, as if trying to strangle her, and absorbed her strength.
"Ah Heng..."
Xie Qiheng took advantage of the break to respond, "Yeah."
It took Xie Qiheng a long while to let go of Chu Jing. He stared at Chu Jing's flushed face with lustful eyes.
"I really want to marry Xiaojing home as soon as possible..." The voice was low and hoarse, with a sense of pleading and dissatisfaction.
Even a fool knows what he means.
Chu Jing raised her hand angrily and grabbed Xie Qiheng's cheek, pulling it. "That's all you can think about! What else can you think about besides this!"
Can you give him some detergent powder?
Why is it that every time I see her, this is all on my mind!
It wasn’t like this before we got engaged!
Xie Qiheng blinked, with an innocent expression and rogue words, "I just think about this, I think about it so much, I think about Xiaojing every night... I like Xiaojing so much, I want to eat Xiaojing in one bite, put her in my pocket, and be with her all the time."
