Chapter 452: Sincere cooperation?
Chapter 452: Sincere cooperation?
for a while
Xuanyuan Jing spoke in a deep voice.
"My Queen, I know this is difficult, but for the sake of the woman I love, I really don't want to marry the eldest princess. If the eldest princess really marries me, we will definitely be a pair of resentful couples in the future. Please show me a way forward, Queen. I owe you a favor. In the future, if you need my help, I will do my best to help you."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and looked at Xuanyuan Jing with a slightly deeper gaze.
Although all this was expected, I didn't expect Xuanyuan Jing to be so determined in refusing the marriage proposal.
Xuanyuan Jing saw Lin Junxue's eyes, as clear as autumn water, slowly falling on him.
At this moment, his heart, which had been beating steadily, seemed to be gently touched by an invisible hand, and it actually accelerated slightly.
Just like the ice and snow quietly melting in the spring, it spread throughout his chest bit by bit.
He tried hard to suppress the panic and throbbing in his heart, and tried his best to suppress the strange feeling that was uncontrollably rising in his heart.
For some reason, his face still blushed. This was the first time in Xuanyuan Jing's life that he felt this way.
He secretly thought that he had been blinded by the beauty and that he shouldn't have done that.
Then, Xuanyuan Jing straightened his body immediately and put away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Lin Junxue paused.
This Xuanyuan Jing is quite innocent. He blushed after just one look.
It seems that this reputation of being a playboy is totally unbelievable...
Lin Junxue spoke slowly
"Second Prince, you know, although the eldest princess has a bad reputation, she is the only biological daughter of the Queen Mother. She has been raised with great pampering since she was a child. I believe that the extent of the eldest princess's favor is known to the world. Just like the rumors, there is no exaggeration, it is all true. Second Prince should know that if you happily marry the eldest princess, it will be a great help to you. At that time, the entire Xie Kingdom will be your backing in your fight for that position."
Since they are all smart people, Lin Junxue doesn't want to bother beating around the bush.
Xuanyuan Jing was shocked. He didn't expect Lin Junxue to say so bluntly that he wanted that position.
Over the years, he tried his best to hide his strength and planned secretly in order to compete for the throne in the future.
No one noticed his ambition, but he did not expect that Queen Xie, who had only met him twice, could see through his hidden heart.
Who can resist being moved by a smart, dangerous, and beautiful woman?
Now that he had been exposed, Xuanyuan Jing simply took off his disguise.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a slightly profound smile, and a barely perceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.
The true temperament that was originally hidden under hypocrisy now slowly appeared in front of Lin Junxue like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
He straightened his spine and suddenly exuded an innate kingly aura.
The temperament that had been deliberately suppressed now appeared like a surging torrent, and his eyes were deep and sharp.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
Lin Junxue had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were also cold as she looked at Xuanyuan Jing, and her aura was exactly the same.
Lin Junxue wants Xuanyuan Jing to show his true self
Since it's a collaboration, there's no point in wearing a mask.
Sincerity is the prerequisite for cooperation
Xuanyuan Jing said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you have a keen eye. I wonder how you saw through my ambition. Everyone in the world knows that I am a dandy prince. My father doesn't like me and I have no chance of becoming the emperor. I know that I have been hiding it very well for so many years, but Your Majesty has only seen me twice, but you can see what kind of person I am. I am very curious, what gave me away?"
Lin Junxue slightly curled her beautiful red lips. The smile seemed charming and attractive, but it seemed like a thin layer of ice.
Chill
The smile never reached the depths of those eyes that were as deep as a cold pond.
"Second Prince, people can disguise their temperament and appearance, but your eyes have betrayed you. The first time I saw you, I noticed something strange. If you were really just a dandy prince, you would never have such a resolute look in your eyes. In the past few days, you led the delegation to negotiate with my Xie Kingdom. You were thoughtful in everything and handled the eldest princess like a fish in water. This is already remarkable. So, what kind of person are you, Second Prince? This is not surprising. People's hearts are hidden deep, and you can't see through them with your eyes."
When Xuanyuan Jing heard Lin Junxue's words, his originally calm eyes suddenly became disturbed.
An indescribable emotion quietly spread.
He frowned, as if thinking about something.
for a while
Xuanyuan Jing let out a low laugh, and his handsome appearance became even more handsome because of this laugh.
"My Queen, I never thought that the first confidant in this world would be you. I am so lucky. Since you have seen through me and are so frank, it means you are willing to cooperate with me."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Of course, I won't bother with useless people or useless things."
Xuanyuan Jing said again, "In this case, I can also answer the Queen's question just now. I can tell Her Majesty that I have been planning for many years, just to achieve great things in the future. The eldest princess is known for her dissolute reputation, and no man is willing to marry such a woman. I consider myself a man who stands tall and upright. Even if the eldest princess has the support of the entire Xie Kingdom behind her, my prince's consort must not be a woman like her. Moreover, if I really marry the eldest princess..."
Lin Junxue smiled
"If you, the Second Prince, really marry the Princess, then one day, you will really ascend to the throne, and the Princess will become the Empress of Xuanyuan Country, ascending to the position of the Mother of the Nation. The Second Prince will also be laughed at and poked at by the people of the world. How can the Emperor lie on his side with such an unbearable woman, the Mother of the Nation?"
Lin Junxue's every word was revealing, and Xuanyuan Jing's gaze became more and more intense.
Lin Junxue raised her eyes slightly and spoke again
"Why not, let me guess again, Second Prince, you took great pains to get this opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission to Xie State, and you also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the emperor and prepare for the future succession. Xuanyuan State has always been dependent on Xie State, and no matter where it wants to ascend to, it needs the support of our Xie State. Now King Xuanyuan is taking elixirs, indulging in beauty, and his body is weak. I'm afraid he won't live for two years. So, Second Prince, you seized this opportunity. This is also the biggest motivation for you not to hide your strength, because you want the emperor to see your talent and support you, right?"
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Lin Junxue sitting in the main seat and couldn't help but be shocked.
For some reason, at this moment, he felt a chill in his heart.
It is so terrible that the emperor of Xie State is sleeping with such a woman!
This woman is too smart. She can see this so clearly.
Even the biggest purpose of his trip was guessed.
All of them were correct.
He went to great lengths to visit the State of Xie in order to gain the support of the emperor of Xie.
