Chapter 32 After All, She's a Concubine
Shen Jingxuan stopped and looked at Shen Jinghuan who was blocking her way.
How could Shen Jingxuan not understand Shen Jinghuan's intention in stopping her? He just wanted to mock her.
She quietly looked at the smug person in front of her, not understanding why a position as a concubine could give her the courage to stop her.
Shen Jinghuan looked at the expressionless Shen Jingxuan and said sarcastically: "Big sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally chose me."
"No matter you were foolish before or you are now, you will never be liked by the prince."
"The prince has always liked me, so it's useless even if you pester him."
Shen Jingxuan raised the corner of her lips: "Shen Jinghuan, you have to know that it's not that he chose you, but that he slept with you and had to have you."
"It doesn't matter whether he likes me or not. What matters is that I broke off the engagement with him. It's me who doesn't want him."
"Since I don't want it, why not give it to you? Besides..."
The smile on Shen Jinghuan's face gradually disappeared: "What's the matter?"
"Besides, what if you can marry Xie Zihan?"
"Have you ever thought about this? You were named the Crown Prince's concubine, but a concubine is still a concubine after all."
After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, she left with a big laugh, ignoring Shen Jinghuan's livid face.
When Mr. Shen saw Shen Jinghuan like this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
The happiest people at this time were Sun and Shen Jiande.
One hopes to get close to the prince and get promoted, while the other hopes that his daughter will have a chance to succeed and bring honor to his face.
Shen Jingxuan returned to Yuxuan Courtyard and went back to her room alone, with a smile still on her face.
She lay on the bed, thinking about Shen Jinghuan's smug look just now, and couldn't help but find it funny.
Xie Zihan was obviously not a good match for her, but she still tried her best to marry him.
I thought I would become the Crown Princess, but suddenly I became the Crown Prince's concubine.
She was thinking of using a man she didn't want to make herself angry. Did she not bring her brain with her when she went out?
After thinking for a while, Shen Jingxuan no longer paid attention to this matter and flashed into the space. Only in the space could she feel at ease.
There is not so much intrigue, only peace and tranquility.
The full moon gradually passed over the treetops, and the moonlight fell on the earth.
A young man with a handsome face like an immortal and gentle as jade was sitting opposite Xie Lingxiao.
His skin was as white as snow, and he was playing chess with the Regent, holding a white piece: "Uncle, your chess skills are too superb."
Xie Lingxiao glanced at him: "You are not bad either."
"He is far worse than the Emperor's uncle." Xie Ziling said.
When he was a child, he liked to follow Xie Lingxiao and always stuck to him and asked him questions. Over time, he developed a deep affection for him.
Xie Lingxiao was a few years older than him and had helped him a lot when they were young. They were both teacher and friend and got along very well.
Xie Ziling was not favored by the emperor and had no support from his maternal family. After he became an adult, he seldom returned to the capital and was always wandering outside.
Occasionally he would come back secretly to Xie Lingxiao's place. Only here could he feel at ease and have a sense of belonging.
Xie Ziling was immersed in his thoughts, unable to extricate himself for a while.
He slowly came to his senses until he heard footsteps behind him.
"Your Highness, there is news." Ling Feng did not say anything when he saw Xie Ziling here.
Xie Lingxiao stood up and returned to the study. When he saw Ling Feng's expression, he knew that it was news about the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xie Lingxiao frowned: "What's the matter?"
Ling Feng replied, "The Emperor has issued an order granting the marriage. Third Miss Shen is granted to the Crown Prince as a concubine. The order has already been passed on."
When Xie Lingxiao heard Ling Feng's words, his brows furrowed more and more.
Thinking of Shen Jingxuan's slightly red eyes on the day she broke off the engagement, and the way she sat there quietly without saying a word, Xie Lingxiao's chest began to feel stuffy.
He turned and walked out of the study.
Xie Lingxiao wanted to go see Shen Jingxuan to see if she was okay.
Thinking that she might be hiding there crying, he took bigger and bigger steps.
Ling Feng was trying hard to keep up.
Shen Jingxuan stayed in the space for a long time. After she tidied up the space, she left the space and lay on the bed.
Just as she was falling asleep, someone knocked on the window.
She stood up and moved closer to the window: "Who?"
"It's me." Xie Lingxiao's faint voice sounded.
Hearing the voice of the stinky man, Shen Jingxuan reached out and opened the window.
She leaned against the window, her arms folded across her chest, staring at Xie Lingxiao without blinking.
"The Regent's hobby is really unique. If you like to visit women's boudoirs at night, go somewhere else. You are not welcome here."
Xie Lingxiao looked at this ugly woman and saw that she could still tease him, and she didn't look like anything was wrong.
He climbed into the house through the window: "I've only been here before."
Shen Jingxuan looked at him in surprise. When did this stinky man learn to explain?
Xie Lingxiao pretended not to notice her surprise and found a chair to sit down.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lingxiao said, "Did the Emperor grant the prince a new marriage?"
"Don't you already know it? Why are you asking?" Shen Jingxuan glanced at him.
Isn’t this asking knowingly?
Xie Lingxiao continued: "What's your plan?"
"What are you planning? They go their way, and I go mine. It'd be best if we never see each other again."
What could she plan? This result was not very good. Xie Zihan and Shen Jinghuan got what they wanted, and she also got so much money.
"You don't like..." Xie Lingxiao gritted his teeth and didn't say anything else.
Shen Jingxuan took over: "Haven't I liked the prince since I was a child?"
Seeing Xie Lingxiao nodded, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I was stupid when I was a child, but I'm fine now."
Xie Lingxiao was puzzled: "Wasn't it very sad on the day of breaking off the engagement?"
"If I'm not a little sad, do I have to laugh? How can I get compensation if I don't show that I'm a little sad?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao as if he were a fool.
If she didn't pretend to be serious and convincing, how could Xie Zihan be willing to spend so much money?
"You..." Xie Lingxiao had never spoken so much to a woman before, and when he wanted to continue asking, he was interrupted.
"Are you sick? Why are you asking these questions so late at night?"
"Your nephew, the crown prince, has been granted a marriage. Why are you coming to my place instead of congratulating him? Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?"
"Do you think I will regret breaking off the engagement, or do you think I will cry and faint in a corner right now?"
"Does he deserve it? Even if I, Shen Jingxuan, can never get married, I will never hang myself on that crooked tree of his."
As she spoke, Shen Jingxuan pulled Xie Lingxiao's arm, pulled him to the window, and pushed him hard...
As a result, Xie Lingxiao was pushed out and fell to the ground.
Shen Jingxuan originally wanted him to leave, but she didn't expect that after pushing him, it turned out like this.
Seeing Xie Lingxiao sitting under the window looking at her, Shen Jingxuan didn't know whether she should help him.
The two people looked at each other. When Xie Lingxiao came to his senses, he saw him sitting under Shen Jingxuan's window, and his face turned black.
He supported himself on the ground with his hands and stood up. Before he could raise his head, the window was closed by Shen Jingxuan with a bang, blocking their view.
Xie Lingxiao gritted his teeth secretly. He shouldn't have come to see her, but ended up making himself look so embarrassed.
Shen Jingxuan stood by the window until the footsteps faded away, then she opened the window again.
Looking at the dark night outside, he still felt embarrassed when he thought about pushing Xie Lingxiao out just now.
Isn't he good at martial arts? He couldn't even resist her push.
Suddenly, a breeze blew outside the window, and the breeze jumped into the window and blew on Shen Jingxuan's face, bringing her back to her senses.
She closed the window, lay back on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Shen Jingxuan was woken up by Chuntao.
She banged on the door and shouted excitedly, "Miss, Miss, open the door quickly."
