The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

676-680

Everybody looked at Zongzheng Yu Er upon listening to Baili Jia Jue's words.

Their thoughts were shown in their eyes, what kind of woman is she?

Previously, Third Prince had bluntly expressed his stance. Yet, she continued to blatantly cling onto him.

All in all, Xuanyuan Kingdom was a great kingdom, but her actions had brought shame upon the country.

Initially, Zongzheng Yu Er reckoned that Baili Jia Jue would save her some face, considering that she was, nonetheless, a princess from another nation.

She did not expect him to be such a stony-hearted man!

Elder Xu Wu wore a glower face as he went forward to grab Zongzheng Yu Er's hand and spoke in a muffled tone, "Princess, please stop talking. The Third Prince is an unyielding man. You'll ruin your reputation if you continue to speak."

Zongzheng Yu Er knew exactly how the bystanders were judging her now. She felt as if she has gotten a slap in the face and her cheeks were badly bruised!

She was puzzled. She reckoned that she was being considerate to Baili Jia Jue. However, not only he was unmoved, he even had intentions to finish her off in return for her kindness.

How did this happen?

Zongzheng Yu Er's eyes were brimming with tears.

As her brother, Zongzheng Wen Ren could not stand by and watch as his sister was being bullied. His expression turned cold as he spoke, "Has Brother Baili not considered about the relationship between the countries when you spoke?"

Baili Jia Jue threw a glance at him and replied with an indifferent tone, "Before you think about the relationship between our two nations, you should teach your sister to be a reserved woman and not to lose her pride when she falls for a man. Has Xuanyuan Kingdom grown to be such an open-minded country that encourages its people to not be restrained by moral and dignity?"

They were perplexed by Baili Jia Jue's words.

At this moment, even the exorcists of Xuanyuan Dynasty, too, felt that their princess' acts were indecent.

They turned to look at Zongzheng Wen Ren in synchrony.

Zongzheng Wen Ren clenched his fists. He did not predict this outcome before he came to the Capital.

His sister was supposed to be welcomed with open arms and wed the prince honorably.

With royal intermarriage between the two kingdoms, this would not only enhance Xuanyuan Dynasty's reputation, it provided an opportunity for them to leave their troops in the Capital.

But, now... Zongzheng Wen Ren narrowed his eyes but his smile remained. "The idea of royal intermarriage was brought up by your country's minister before I came to the Capital. However, since that minister has already been beheaded by Brother Baili, Yu Er will not mention about this matter again. It's not a big deal. Yu Er was merely being kind and thoughtful when she reminded Brother Baili about it. Yet, it was a little over the top for Brother Baili to bring in moral and dignity."

After Zongzheng Wen Ren twisted the words, it had turned into an agreement between the two nations and embellished the fact that Zongzheng Yu Er was being overzealous.

Helian Wei Wei was pondering about how to answer on behalf of His Highness when she heard a fruity and cold laugh rang in her ears. "Yes, she's so kind that she wants to break up a couple and be the third wheel of our relationship. Xuanyuan Dynasty has certainly enlightened me with your definition of kindness."
