Sixteen-year-old Chen Jingting, like Chen Jingting in his thirties, is the most unwilling to admit defeat.

Just like before, when he went to the palace to report the situation, he always stayed away from her, and she always made him so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" She jumped off the horse and got into her carriage, while Chen Jingting's horse was handed to Yingying.

inside the carriage

After Chen Jingting entered, he saw that the interior of the carriage was exquisitely decorated, with the floor covered with furry Persian carpets, which looked extremely luxurious.

Chen Jingting was a big, rough guy, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he entered.

He sat directly near the door.

"The princess let me in, what's the matter?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Come here some more."

Chen Jingting looked at the Persian carpet and stepped on it deliberately, and a black footprint immediately appeared.

Wen Xingchen felt a little distressed inside, but he didn't show it on the surface.

Wen Xingchen patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit here."

Chen Jingting thought she was going to whisper something, so he sat over.

However, she didn't say anything, and just leaned over as soon as she sat down.

"I've been busy all day and I'm very sleepy. Please let me lean on you." There was a plea of ​​infertility and rejection in her voice.

"..."

Chen Jingting thought of many things she would do, but this was the only thing he didn't expect.

She is not a woman yet.

actually……

He reached out his hand to push her away, but the moment he did, he lowered his brows and saw her face like a water lily, her steady breathing, and she was actually asleep.

She...is beautiful but misleading.

Chen Jingting was both helpless and secretly annoyed. He was helpless because she fell asleep, and secretly annoyed that he was provoked by her words and came up.

With a helpless sigh, he stopped moving.

His eyes caught sight of the imperial edict placed not far away.

Imperial decree?

The imperial decree granting marriage had been issued, and it was destined that she would be his wife.

There is no precedent in this dynasty for changing imperial edicts.

Does she know it or not?

This is no longer just a game.

As a member of the royal family, she should know this, so she is determined not to like Prince Jin anymore.

Looking down at the sleeping figure, Chen Jingting said softly, "Wen Xingchen, I am not someone you can mess with casually. Now that you have messed with me, there is really no chance of regret."

When they arrived at the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, she was still unconscious. The carriage drove directly into the mansion.

He leaned over and picked her up, then got out of the carriage. Under Yingying's surprised gaze, he said, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Chen Jingting sent the person to the boudoir, and then came out and said, "When your princess wakes up, tell her that I will invite someone to discuss the marriage tomorrow."

Wen Changsheng heard from the servants in the mansion that Chen Jingting had returned with his daughter. He was talking to Prince Jin at the time, and when they heard this, the two of them came out.

On the way, he met Chen Jingting. Before he could speak, he heard Chen Jingting say, "Jingting greets Ningyuan Hou and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

"Why is my nephew here?"

"I'm here to take the princess back home."

"Chen Jingting, the princess is causing trouble for you. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you."

Chen Jingting glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin calmly and said, "Your Majesty has granted the marriage to Princess Huayang, so this is not a problem."

King Jin didn't believe it.

"Arranged marriage? Impossible."

Chen Jingting didn't care whether he believed it or not, but said to Ning Yuanhou: "My Lord, I will invite the elders of the Chen family to come to the house tomorrow to discuss the marriage."

"well."

Chen Jingting said goodbye.

Yingying handed the imperial edict she brought back from the palace to Ningyuan Hou. When Ningyuan Hou unfolded it, he found that it was indeed an imperial edict.

He felt relieved, but Prince Jin didn't believe it. He snatched the imperial edict and read it over and over again.

Then he wanted to look for Wen Xingchen, but was stopped.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, the princess has gone to bed."

Yingying seemed to want to speak up for her princess and said, "My princess has requested the marriage herself and is no longer blocking His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the Second Miss. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin should be happy, but why does he seem so angry?"

This question left Xiao Sheng speechless.

She is getting married, how can he get married?

"Brother Sheng..."

Suddenly there was a delicate cry. Xiao Sheng turned around and saw Wen Ruyue looking at him pitifully.

He suddenly came to his senses and said, "If she wanted a marriage, there are so many powerful people in the capital for her to choose from. Why would she willingly degrade herself and marry Chen Jingting? Doesn't she know what kind of person Chen Jingting is? He fights all day long and has an affair with an actor..."

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please be careful with your words. The Fourth Young Master you are referring to is our princess's future Marquis."

"......"

Wen Xingchen did not hear these words. After she woke up, Yingying did not tell her that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had made such arrogant remarks.

Instead, he repeated what Chen Jingting said before he left.

Wen Xingchen just nodded slightly.

Yingying was a little worried.

"Princess, are you really going to marry Mr. Chen Si? Mr. Chen Si's reputation isn't very good... He even keeps an actress as his mistress."

Wen Xingchen looked at Yingying with a cold gaze, which scared Yingying so much that she dared not say anything more.

Wen Xingchen withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's just a rumor. Remember, she is the county horse chosen by this princess, and she will be your master in the future."

"Yes, this slave knows."

"No matter how many rumors there are out there, whether you can believe them or not, you will see for yourself when this princess marries him in the future."

She remembered the actor and had heard that the woman was his sweetheart. After the woman died, he never remarried.

Why should she care about a person who won't live long?

every other day

After the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, rewards from the palace were sent to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion and Wen Xingchen's courtyard in an endless stream.

There are the emperor's, the empress's, the noble concubine's, the virtuous concubine's, the virtuous concubine's...

The Empress was childless, but the other three Empresses had one son each: Prince Xiao Sheng of Jin, Prince Xiao Bo of Wu, and Prince Xiao Yue of Lu. There was also a princess, Fu Run, born to the Empress.

Wen Xingchen ordered people to put the things away.

As they were talking, someone came to invite them from the front yard, saying that someone from the Chen family had come to discuss the marriage.

The ones who came were Lord Chen, Prince Lao Rui, and Chen Jingting.

Wen Xingchen met Chen Jingting in the front yard. The elders were discussing the marriage, and he came to find her.

"Do you regret today?"

Wen Xingchen smiled and said, "Do you ask this question every time we meet?"

Chen Jingting continued, "After today, you will have no chance to regret."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Do you think I would be better off marrying you or someone else?"

The other person must be referring to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

It's not that Chen Jingting looks down on His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but that he is hypocritical and sanctimonious.

Wen Xingchen didn't want to talk about this nonsense. He should enjoy himself during such a good time.

She smiled and then said, "How about we play a game of chess later?"

"The princess knows how to play chess?" People outside only say that the princess is a useless person. "Want a game?"

After the two sat down, someone had already set up the chessboard.

"The princess first."

Playing chess is like a silent contest, which embodies wisdom and courage. The two armies confront each other on the chessboard, mobilizing thousands of troops in an attempt to capture cities and territories.

Chen Jingting underestimated his opponent at first, but only started to take it seriously after Wen Xingchen killed several of his pieces.

The two men played chess, concentrating and calming their minds, unaware that someone was watching them nearby.

Until the winner is determined.

Chen Jingting uttered a single word, "I lost."
