Chapter 698 The Destination of the Previous Life
Back in the day, they did use their feminine wiles on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, no one could even get into the King of Chu's tent. Even if his sister came now, it would probably be the same. She might be even more wary. How could he possibly have a good time?
Wu Yue'er was quite confident in herself. She had wanted to see what the Prince of Chu, who could give her father and brother such a headache, would look like. But when she saw him, she found that he was not the burly man she had imagined. Instead, he was as tall and handsome as a jade tree.
Such a dashing and valiant man is simply every woman's dream lover.
Since the marriage is a political alliance, naturally the best one should be chosen!
If this man became her devoted lover, she might even be able to help her father.
Who would have thought that her brother didn't think highly of her at all!
"My mother told me before that men can't be faithful. So what if there's a beautiful woman by his side? He'll get tired of her after a while."
Wu Yue'er pouted. She thought the sixth prince was quite handsome, and he was already married!
“I think the Seventh Prince is quite good. You will have to stay here for a while and find a suitable husband so that your life won’t be difficult.”
Wu Jingshuo sighed. In truth, he was simply outmatched. If he had won the battle, he wouldn't be in this predicament now, but clearly there was nothing he could do.
"As for what Mother said, it depends on the person. If the husband you choose is too fickle and promiscuous, won't he be bewitched by other girls in the future?"
Wu Yue'er pouted. She felt that her brother's words were meaningless and that he clearly did not think highly of her as his younger sister!
Men with three wives and four concubines are usually philanderers, but the fact that the Empress Dowager has maintained her favor all these years means she must have some skill.
She was raised by the Empress Dowager; how could she possibly be completely without any means of manipulation?
“Your Majesty, originally, the marriage should have been arranged so that you would choose whom my sister would marry. But you are so magnanimous and willing to give my sister a chance to choose. We are truly grateful.”
My sister and I are new here, so we hope you can give us a few more days to allow her to choose someone she likes.
Wu Jingshuo bowed respectfully. In fact, they had learned about the character of these princes before they came, but since they had not met them in person, and since it was a marriage alliance, there was no possibility of divorce in the future.
Once they left, only Wu Yue'er remained. Naturally, it would be best to let them interact, as he still hoped his sister could live a good life.
The Emperor was quite pleased with Wu Jingshuo's humble and respectful demeanor.
When the people from the Qi Yue Dynasty arrived, they were very courteous and showed no arrogance whatsoever; they were treated with utmost respect.
Since he has taken the initiative to propose a marriage alliance, and he has many children, it would be fine to arrange the marriage after getting to know each other for a few days.
"I agree."
Upon hearing this, everyone present praised the Emperor for his magnanimity, saying that there was no need to rush the marriage.
Immediately afterwards, everyone witnessed Wu Yue'er's performance.
Her figure was alluring, her dance graceful and charming, her eyes filled with affection, and the bells on her body jingled crisply as she danced, making her a sight to behold.
"Cousin, didn't you notice that the princess kept staring at your husband?"
Gu Huan'er's expression was complicated. As a woman herself, she could easily guess what Wu Yue'er was thinking just by looking at her expression, but she noticed that her cousin didn't seem worried at all.
"I'm not blind, of course I noticed it."
"Aren't you worried?" Gu Huan'er couldn't help but ask.
Song Ruozhen shook her head slightly, "If she liked another prince, that would be fine, but if she has taken a liking to your brother-in-law, it's no use no matter how much she likes him."
It's perfectly normal for outstanding people to attract the opposite sex, but if the emperor truly approves of Jun Ting, he won't allow Wu Yue'er to marry him.
Gu Huan'er didn't understand Song Ruozhen's meaning, but when she turned her gaze to see that the King of Chu hadn't even glanced at her, she immediately understood.
My brother-in-law has always only had eyes for my cousin and has never been interested in other girls, so my cousin naturally doesn't need to worry.
"I understand, cousin is so lucky." Gu Huan'er chuckled and said.
Prince Yang looked at the alluring and charming Wu Yue'er and his eyes lit up. He felt that none of the princes present was more suitable than him.
I heard that the Qi Yue Dynasty not only brought a lot of tribute this time, but the princess's dowry is also very generous. Moreover, if one marries the princess of the Qi Yue Dynasty, one's future will not be too bad.
After all, this also represents the face of the royal family.
Seeing that Chu Junting didn't even glance at her, Wu Yue'er felt a surge of anger.
She was a princess, and there were plenty of young men in the Qi Yue Dynasty who were fond of her. She thought that after coming here, many people would fall at her feet as well, but the result was not so.
At this moment, Chu Junting suddenly looked up at Wu Yue'er.
The moment their eyes met, a flicker of joy flashed in Wu Yue'er's eyes. She knew it! How could he possibly be indifferent to her!
A thoughtful look flashed in Chu Junting's eyes. The Nie family had done so many bad things before, such as colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, and establishing a separatist regime. They must have also had secret dealings with the Qi Yue Dynasty.
"Jun Ting, did she like Lin Zhiyue in her past life?" Song Ruozhen asked with a smile.
Chu Junting nodded with a faint smile, "In her previous life, she insisted on marrying Lin Zhiyue because the original Song Ruozhen had already passed away, and Qin Shuangshuang was only a concubine. It would be quite appropriate for her to marry Lin Zhiyue."
"Then why didn't she fall for you in your past life?" Song Ruozhen asked curiously.
She knew Lin Zhiyue was indeed good-looking, but anyone with eyes could see that Chu Junting was definitely more handsome. Could it be that the male lead's halo was that strong?
Seeing his wife's confusion, Chu Junting chuckled, "Because I didn't attend this banquet in my past life."
"You didn't come?" Song Ruozhen asked in surprise.
Chu Junting nodded, "The princes present at tonight's banquet have all heard the news. I had no intention of getting married, so why am I attending this banquet?"
"If we were truly betrothed, it would be difficult to refuse. The reason we're here today is because we're already married, so it's fine."
Song Ruozhen suddenly realized that if that was the case, then everything would make sense.
"I knew there was no reason for her to be interested in Lin Zhiyue. Who did she marry in her past life?"
Now that they had laid everything bare, they had no more reservations. Chu Junting said frankly, "In her past life, she married the seventh son."
“I think she might marry the seventh son in this lifetime, and right now she should be the most suitable,” Song Ruozhen said thoughtfully.
"In her past life, she eventually married the seventh prince, but there were quite a few twists and turns in the process. This princess was no pushover, and Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue also had a falling out because of this."
I remember Qin Shuangshuang was so angry that she went straight back to her parents' home and even said she wanted a divorce. Lin Zhiyue had to go to great lengths to appease her.
Chu Junting recalled the events of his previous life. He hadn't paid much attention to such matters before, but the incident had caused quite a stir, which was why he remembered it.
