Forced to Marry the Enemy PrinceChapter 9.1

Xian Sheng thought that he heard wrong.

Although he traveled by carriage in the Liang Palace, that was because the Liang Emperor was his father. He pitied his weak body. However, this was very baffling in the Jin Country. ZHuVaW

Zhan Lue mentioned this probably because he liked him. However, Xian Sheng found it incredulous that the Jin Emperor would agree.

The empress found it incredulous as well. Meanwhile, Zhan Lue accepted this result. He said calmly, “Many thanks to the emperor father.”

Xian Sheng hurriedly stood up to thank him as well.

The empress tilted her head and ordered, “Go and bring the Crown Prince’s carriage to the door. The Crown Princess needs to meet the empress dowager later on.” 8kuZHP

Xian Sheng didn’t dare say anything. He felt as though the empress looked at him in faint anger. He sat back down, feeling a bit ill at ease. He was the Crown Princess of the Jin Country right now. He’d inevitably have to pay respect and greet the empress in the future, just like how daughter-in-laws and mother-in-laws would treat each other. If he offended the empress, he wouldn’t have a good life in the future.

Zhan Lue added, “Troubling empress mother.”

Xian Sheng slightly knitted his brows and tilted his head to look at Zhan Lue. The latter’s gaze met his, his gaze dark and gloomy. Xian Sheng couldn’t help but avoid his gaze.

Whenever Zhan Lue looked at him, it seemed like his gaze was glued to him and even acted as though it was supposed to be this way. He didn’t seem to know what bashful mean.

The Crown Prince’s carriage quickly arrived at the palace door. Xian Sheng and Zhan Lue bid farewell and left. The empress looked down, her tone respectful but it was hard to hide her faint anger. “Your Majesty, why did you agree to Zhan Lu’e absurd request?”

The Jin Emperor watched Xian Sheng leave and didn’t think that his change of action was wrong in any way. However, he still explained, “She’s the princess of the Liang Country after all. She is spoiled and pampered. Now that she came to the Jin Country, if we are overly severe with her, it’d make the Jin Country seem like it lacked magnanimity.”

“Aren’t you scared that this princess will enchant the Crown Prince into ruining the country?”

“That woman is innocent.” The Jin Emperor patted her hand and said, “How could the princess possibly ruin the country? Empress, you’re being too serious.”

You’re the one with power. Empress Xin shut her mouth.

The Jin Emperor just wanted to see his daughter-in-law today. Now that he had taken a glance, he quickly left. Mama Qiu walked over and comforted, “His Majesty allowed her to travel by carriage in the palace because he was just empathizing with the Crown Prince. The princess is quite weak. Plus, they just got married and she was tormented last night. If she gets sick, wouldn’t the Crown Prince feel bad?” zsLNQt

“He keeps on saying that Zhan Lue is absurd, but he’s the most absurd one!” Empress Xin, calming her mood. Then she asked questioningly, “She fainted during the ceremony yesterday. But even so, Zhan Lue really consummated with her?”

“There’s blood on the cloth. It must be real…Plus, you know His Highness’ attitude. If he doesn’t like the woman, even if you force it upon him, he won’t accept her either. But if he does like her, he’d have her no matter what.”

That’s true. Empress Xin laughed. “This boy can never stay away from what he wants. Go and attend to this matter. After he gets over her, find someone better for him.”

“Yes.” T14bJ3

With the Jin Emperor’s approval, Xian Sheng got in the carriage and they went to the empress dowager’s palace. She was over fifty. Although she took good care of herself, it was clear that she grew old. She didn’t make things difficult for Xian Sheng. Before he paid a formal visit, she allowed him to sit down. Even more, she considerately said, “You must be tired heading all the way here. Are you used to living in the North?”

“Imperial grandmother, thank you for your concerns. Although it is a bit colder here, it’s fine as long as I don’t leave the house.”

“The weatherman said that it’s going to snow these two days. You have to take good care of yourself.”

“Many thanks to imperial grandmother’s concern.” rZf0Bs

The empress dowager smiled and said to the girl by her side, “Go and pour a glass of ginger tea for the Crown Princess. Let her warm her body.”

The girl retreated before quickly returning. When she was close, Xian Sheng detected her gaze on him. He looked up and the girl smiled at him. Xian Sheng returned a smile as well.

The girl retreated and said in a soft voice, “Everyone says that the princess of the Liang Country was beautiful and glamorous. It seems like the truth.”

Xian Sheng didn’t know what to say. The empress dowager patted the girl’s hand and teased, “The Crown Prince doesn’t like those ordinary girls from the start. It seems like it’s harder for these people to catch your interest.” Etp2au

The girl secretly looked at Zhan Lue and the latter said, “Imperial grandmother, you’re teasing me. This granddaughter just hasn’t met anyone she is interested in before. It’s not because this granddaughter looks down upon them.”

“It’s fine. You usually have your own idea. As long as you like them.”

Xian Sheng silently picked up the teacup and took a sip to be polite. Then, he lightly placed it down. When he was called on, he casually replied. Zhan Lue responded straightforwardly. However, he didn’t respond passionately nor indifferently. Xian Sheng guessed that he didn’t talk to the empress dowager that often.

After paying respect to this elder, Xian Sheng got up to eat. The lunch was prepared for the juniors, so that Xian Sheng could see his sisters and brothers. The banquet was set at Xile Pavilion. hCgduJ

When they left, the empress said, “Take Qing Rong with you. She hasn’t eaten breakfast yet either.”

Xian Sheng just realized that this girl was Princess Qing Rong, the empress dowager’s real granddaughter. Because her parents had died when she was young, she had been under the empress dowager’s wings.

Zhan Lue didn’t reject this.

Qing Rong slightly jogged over and followed behind obediently. Her gaze landed on Xian Sheng’s hand and then she quietly shifted her gaze. p vnL3

Xian Sheng walked downstairs before his body was swept into Zhan Lue’s arms again. He looked at him in annoyance. Zhan Lue didn’t seem to feel the gaze, directly placing him in the carriage. He said, “Sit still.”

Xian Sheng quickly ducked in.

He could clearly step on the pedal, so why must Zhan Lue grope him? Wasn’t he angry at him?

Xian Sheng held the hand warmer and sat on the soft cushion, his feelings complicated. x0MXfU

Outside, Qing Rong was shocked. She had been in the palace the entire time, so she didn’t know that the horse carriage was driven to the palace door. When had anyone in the palace put on this ostentation?

However, she didn’t ask about it. She walked alongside Zhan Lue and said softly, “I also went to see Your Highness’ wedding ceremony yesterday. It was quite lively and bustling.”
“Yesh.”

“I heard that there is a new restaurant in the capital and the dishes there are amazing. Your Highness, when you have time, why not take the Crown Princess out to taste it? Call Zhan Yin and Zhan Jin as well. As well as the peach blossom wine we brewed a while ago. We should all have some drinks.”
