The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom - Nanlai - Posthouse

Nangong Che agreed with Ye Ling's words: "You are right, people! We are born to live. Life is unpredictable, but we should be calm and composed. People are subject to misfortunes and blessings from day to day, so how can everything remain unchanged? Who knows whether something is good or bad? It is in the hearts of those who understand! In life, don't force anything. A blessing in disguise."

Ye Ling paused slightly and said, "Your Highness, please speak frankly."

"I heard that the princess likes to make money?"

"Ah?" Ye Ling was really confused. Why was this person talking about everything?

"I just want to get to know the princess. Maybe we can discuss business in the future, profitable business."

"Oh, is that so? That's no problem. Can I go now?" Ye Ling didn't want to stay for even a second. This sickly prince made her feel very uncomfortable, an indescribable discomfort.

"Are you familiar with Prince Xue?" Nangong Che asked again without thinking.

"We are quite familiar with each other, we are friends, what's wrong?"

“That’s great. I’ve lived for more than 20 years and I don’t have a single friend.” Nangong Che saw the loss.

"Your Majesty, you are a prince. With your status, who would dare to marry you?"

Nangong Che smiled bitterly: "Yes! This identity will trap this king for his whole life, and he will live alone like this."

Ye Ling was even more speechless: "That..."

"Actually, I envy you for living so freely." Nangong Che interrupted Ye Ling and spoke to himself, "From birth to death, everything about me has been arranged clearly by others. I don't have any room for freedom. Even marrying a wife is arranged by others, regardless of whether you love her or not. Princess, I heard you say: Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned?"

“Yes, I like freedom.”

"Yes! Everyone loves freedom. Princess, if one day you were also arranged to marry, what would you do?"

"I will kill him. That way, no one will marry me. I can also kill his entire family, leaving them without descendants."

"By killing someone?"

"Of course, this is the simplest and most effective way. Besides, I don't like rouge and powder, but I like the smell of blood. When I feel uncomfortable, only the smell of blood can calm me down. There's nothing I can do about it. It's just natural." Ye Ling replied casually.

"That's very well said. You might not know that my mother... Never mind. The day after tomorrow, I'll host a banquet for you, Princess. Could you please give me some favor?"

"The day after tomorrow? I have something to do the day after tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow"

“I’m busy tomorrow too.”

Nangong Che smiled: “You are looking for an excuse, Princess, don’t worry, I am just lonely and want to find someone to have a meal, nothing else.”

"You can find the Crown Prince and King Beichen. Aren't they both at the inn?" Ye Ling was speechless. He had only met them twice, and it was a bit too hasty to arrange a dinner for them.

"Who am I to have dinner with the Crown Prince? As for my seventh brother, he's seriously injured and can't even get up, so how can he eat? Princess, please give me some face and let you decide the time and place, how about that?"

"What a deep brotherly love!" Ye Ling sighed speechlessly. With a roll of his eyes, he immediately said, "How about tonight at the Guiren Pavilion?"

“Okay, it’s a deal,” Nangong Che agreed readily.

"Then I will be waiting for the prince's arrival." Ye Ling had his own plans. Making an appointment with the prince would make him a bigger target and would conceal his real purpose.

"No, it's the prince's treat. It should be the prince's welcome to the princess. Xianghui, have someone book a private room in advance."

"Yes," Xianghui responded.

"In that case, shall we meet tonight?"

"Okay, Princess, take care."

Ye Ling stood up and bowed: "Goodbye"

Looking at the person leaving, Xianghui said, "This princess is so rude! Your Highness invited her to dinner, but she refused to do so. She's a woman, and she actually invited you to a place like the Noble House, and even performed male etiquette on you."

“She is a female hero in the martial arts world, so naturally she won’t use female etiquette, Ye Ling…” Nangong Che murmured to himself: “Maybe she is that noble person.”

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"Some things cannot be said out loud. Have you forgotten again?" Nangong Che changed his usual kind attitude and spoke with a cold look.

"I deserve to die!" Xianghui was frightened when he saw this and quickly knelt on one knee.

"Okay, go get ready, we're at the Noble House tonight."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

At the same time, Xue Jingchuan, who was waiting at the door, was surprised when he heard Ye Ling's words: "Prince Wen invited you to the Noble House for dinner tonight?"

"Yes! Does your prince like to invite strangers to dinner?" Ye Ling pretended to be curious.

"I don't know much about this. This is only the second time we've met. I've only heard of such a prince before." Xue Jingchuan was also puzzled and didn't understand what Nangong Che was up to.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. It's just a meal. I'm going to go see my little brother and then leave. You stay with me." Ye Ling was still worried about Ying Ren's injury.

"Shouldn't you go see His Highness first?"

"Why should I look at him? I am a vengeful person. Now he has a gentle junior sister to accompany him, so I won't go to spoil his fun, otherwise Meng Shishi will think that I am stealing her man, which is disgusting," said Ye Ling.

"No, no, no, Shishi didn't mean that. Don't take what happened last time to heart!"

"A woman who says one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, don't you think it's disgusting?"

"I know you may have some misunderstandings, but I have watched Shishi grow up. She is very kind, but she was spoiled by her master and is a little willful," Xue Jingchuan explained.

Ye Ling didn't care: "Whatever you say, I don't get along with her, so there's no need for me to know so much."

As they were talking, the two came to Shadow Blade's room. He was much better now and could walk slowly.

Ye Ling felt relieved after reading it and was about to say goodbye to Xue Jingchuan, but suddenly a mysterious voice appeared: "Greetings, Princess, my prince wants to see you."

Ye Ling came to the main courtyard very reluctantly. When Meng Shishi saw him, she immediately asked, "What are you doing here again?"

"Shishi, don't be rude to Princess Jingqi," Xue Jingchuan reminded.

"Hmph! What princess?" Meng Shishi was not convinced at all.

Ye Ling became interested: "What princess? The princess appointed by the current emperor himself. So, Miss Meng has any objections? Or still refuses to acknowledge it? Fine, I will write a letter to His Majesty saying that the eldest lady of Phoenix Mountain disagrees with his appointment as princess."

"You...what are you talking nonsense about?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Meng Shishi, your shameless spirit of confusing right and wrong is still there? Sometimes I can't express myself well, but it's really bad luck to meet you." Ye Ling said and was about to leave.

"Stop, who are you calling unlucky? Ye Ling, your temper..."

"My temper depends on who you are. I'll show you the same attitude as you do."

Meng Shishi was furious: "Ye Ling, you are just a vulgar village woman."

"You speak so dirty. Didn't you wipe your mouth before going to the toilet?" Ye Ling retorted calmly.

"You...you dare to scold me?"

Ye Ling smiled: "Don't even mention scolding you in person. If you can't hear clearly, I can also carve it on your tombstone."

"You cursed me?"

"Curse you? Haha... That's really funny. With your pumpkin face, this princess doesn't even bother to pay attention to you. You're ugly in appearance, and your heart is even uglier. Get out of here." Ye Ling pushed Meng Shishi past and strode towards the main house.

Meng Shishi fell down and immediately burst into tears: "Big Brother, she hit me, wuuuu~"

Xue Jingchuan was overwhelmed: "Shishi, you shouldn't be rude to the princess."

"Brother, she was the one who hit me first. Brother, you were all bewitched by her. She is a vixen."

Ye Ling looked back at Meng Shishi, and then said in a loud voice: "You can't scold me, you can't beat me, so you just pretend to be a green tea bitch."

"Ye Ling" Xue Jingchuan quickly said: "That's too much."

Ye Ling was slightly stunned, then smiled: "I just don't understand, did King Beichen ask me to come here just to embarrass his junior sister? And, I am a vixen who has bewitched you. Okay, Xue Jingchuan, please don't come to me again in the future, lest this little vixen accuse me of bewitching you. Goodbye."

"Princess, you haven't gone in to see His Highness yet," Xuan Lei said quickly.

"I'm a vixen when I get in. Meng Shishi, you're cheap, chasing men everywhere, but that doesn't mean I'm the same as you. Stop being disgusting." Ye Ling said and left without looking back.

"Ye Ling" Xue Jingchuan quickly trotted over and said, "Don't be angry. I really didn't mean to say you were wrong."

"You don't need to explain. For my sake, I won't become a vixen. Please don't come to me again in the future. Stay well with your junior sister." Ye Ling's anger did not subside at all.

Xue Jingchuan continued to explain all the way.

On the other side, Meng Shishi entered the main room with tears in her eyes: "Senior Brother, Ye Ling..."

Nangong Chen's face was dark. "She was personally conferred the title of Princess by our father. You have no right to disobey. According to etiquette, you are a commoner and she is a Princess. You must pay your respects. Besides, it was the King who invited her here today. She came to the inn to receive the imperial edict."

Meng Shishi felt even more aggrieved: "Brother, she scolded me like that, and you still sided with her?"

“Who started it?”

"She was rude first."

"I am not deaf, so I can hear you. This is the government inn, not your Phoenix Mountain. You shouldn't ask why they are here again. You drove away my invited guests. We have serious business to discuss," said Nangong Chen.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," Meng Shishi said and started crying again.

Nangong Chen immediately softened his heart: "Okay, this won't happen again."

As he was speaking, Xue Jingchuan came back: "It's over, we have completely offended her this time, she even ignores me."

Nangong Chen had a headache: "Is there anything I need to know?"

"King Wen invited Ye Ling to dinner at the Guiren Pavilion tonight, and she agreed to attend.

"Fifth brother invited her to dinner? And at the Guiren Pavilion? They have only met a few times? And he invited her to dinner?" Nangong Chen was confused.

Meng Shishi felt that she was doing well again: "Senior Brother, you guys don't want me to criticize her. See, she's having dinner with a man she just met, and she's even going to a place like Guirenguan. She's not ashamed."

"Why did fifth brother invite Ye Ling to dinner?" Nangong Chen was very confused about this question.

"I want to know too," Xue Jingchuan said helplessly.

"This Ye Ling can get along with everyone. It's surprising that Fifth Brother, with his personality, would be interested in Ye Ling."

"What should I do?"

"Let her be, go do your thing and don't worry about her"

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should take some rest."

"I'm leaving." Xue Jingchuan stood up and left.
