The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 104 The Third Princess of Western Shu
Sheng Yukun sighed softly and said, "If you are angry about that girl, your uncle can explain something."

After he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside. Sheng Yunqing frowned and looked at Sheng Yukun with resentment, saying, "What is her relationship with Ye Jinchen?"

After Sheng Yukun entered the house, Dong Ning served tea to the two of them and then tactfully left.

He turned to look at Sheng Yunqing. The girl was leaning back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest. Her face was dark and gloomy, and one could seem to see burning anger in her eyes.

He sighed softly and said, "There have been many battles at the border over the past year. In addition to defending against foreign enemies, we have also captured more than 20 internal thieves. They did not inform the foreign enemies, but seemed to be targeting King Ye. They poisoned the food and clothes, and hid in corners on the battlefield to shoot hidden weapons. However, all the people we caught were dead men, and they died of poisoning before we could get any information from them."

Sheng Yunqing frowned, and a trace of worry and fear flashed across his eyes. Are those people sent by the prince?

"The traitors kept appearing one after another, making people upset and confused. The commander's safety was shaken, and the army's morale was almost disrupted. Fortunately, we were safe every time. Until your letter arrived, we followed the instructions on the blueprint and found a distant barren mountain. There was only one person on that barren mountain, and that was Mu Jiyue, the Qinxue Princess of the Western Shu Kingdom, who was practicing in seclusion."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing's eyes moved. The person, the figure in the dream, turned out to be the princess of Western Shu.

Sheng Yunqing pursed her lips. Did that woman really come here on her own?

Sheng Yukun continued, "The witchcraft of Western Shu is well-known throughout the world, and the methods are sinister. The Zhu Luo Kingdom has always kept a distance from it and has never had any exchanges with it. You asked us to find her, and although we were surprised, we did it anyway. However, we have been asking for a long time but have not been able to get her to move. The war situation is critical and we cannot do without manpower. We dare not waste more time, so we have to give up."

"Later, during a battle, a thief hid behind the city wall and shot a poison dart at King Ye. King Ye was unable to dodge and fell to the ground, dying. The doctors he had been looking for for a long time were unable to heal his wounds. It was Princess Qinxue who suddenly appeared and released a poisonous insect to heal King Ye, allowing him to survive and come back to see you."

"Princess Qinxue's accomplishments are profound. It was her poisonous insects that uncovered those traitors who harbored ulterior motives, which calmed the army and allowed Prince Ye to fight with peace of mind."

Sheng Yunqing bit her lip. When she dreamed of this place, Ye Jinchen had not yet been murdered, so she ordered her men to search for the noble man without stopping.

That woman could have saved him earlier and prevented him from being in danger...

It's unnecessary. Are you trying to impress Ye Jinchen?

If she hadn't saved his life once, she wouldn't have followed him back, right?

Sheng Yunqing let out a long breath and said, "The prince and the princess are a perfect match."

"Qing'er, don't say that. Prince Ye misses you all the time, and your uncle sees it."

But he brought back trouble after all.

Sheng Yunqing was silent for a long time before he said, "If he wants to cancel his engagement with me, then he can do so."

Sheng Yukun was speechless and didn't know what to say. When Mu Jiyue wanted to come along, he had told King Ye that Sheng Yunqing would definitely be angry if he brought her along.

But Ye Jinchen still insisted on doing so. Could it be that... he really fell in love with her?
In the evening, a welcoming banquet was prepared in the palace.

Civil and military officials, along with their families, took their seats one after another, creating a grand occasion.

Sheng Yunqing looked across not far away and saw Ye Jinchen, who had already taken his seat, had changed out of his battle robe. The wide, dark-black robe carried a sense of relaxation as if the world was at peace.

Ye Jinchen noticed the gaze and looked in the direction of Sheng Yunqing. He saw the girl glanced at him gloomily, then looked away in annoyance.

He pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and he took a sip of wine from the wine glass on the table. It was also the first time that Sheng Yunqing saw such a grand scene. The princes and nobles who had only heard of their names but never seen them before were now all in sight.

The second prince and the fourth prince were one or two generations older than Sheng Yunqing, and looked quite old, with their respective wives sitting next to them. The two younger princes were a few years older than Sheng Yi.

When she thought about how she almost married Bi Ye Jinchen's brother out of spite, and then looked at the ages of the two people, she coughed twice in embarrassment and turned her face away hastily.

The eunuch followed the people entering the venue and kept chanting the name: "Prince Xian has arrived!"

Sheng Yunqing raised his beautiful eyebrows. Isn’t Prince Xian, who is ranked fifth, the fifth brother that Ye Jinchen hates the most?
She wanted to see who this person was.

The man who caught my eye was handsome and elegant, about twenty years old. The blue and white clothes he wore exuded his extraordinary temperament.

He is quite handsome, but I don't know what grudge he has with Ye Jinchen.

"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are here!"

Sheng Yunqing suddenly came back to his senses and looked towards the door again. His gaze was fixed on the man in the black python robe, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

The delicate facial features revealed an unconcealable evil spirit, and her gaze was locked on Ye Jinchen as soon as he entered the arena. The evil phoenix eyes revealed an undisguised sinisterness, and she was quite dissatisfied with his triumphant return from the battle.

Sheng Yunqing sneered. Is this the Crown Prince Ye Jingnian who always opposes Ye Jinchen? His attitude is really arrogant.

A dark purple figure blocked her view. The girl took brisk steps, accompanied by the pleasant and unique ringing of a bell: "You must be Miss Sheng."

Sheng Yunqing pursed his lips tightly, looked up at Mu Jiyue who was standing in front of his seat, sneered, and said, "It's me."

Mu Jiyue smiled provocatively and said, "I heard that you are Brother Chen's fiancée?"

Brother Chen?
Hearing such a disgusting name, Sheng Yunqing was furious. He gritted his teeth fiercely, then smiled coldly and said, "So what if it is? So what if it is not?"

Ye Jinchen looked in the direction of Sheng Yunqing. Mu Jiyue actually took the initiative to cause trouble for Sheng Yunqing?

Mu Jiyue just chuckled, leaned over to Sheng Yunqing's ear and whispered something, which made the girl sitting there blush with anger.

Ye Jinchen clenched the wine glass tightly, his heart choked. He held the small wine glass between his fingers and threw it towards Mu Jiyue with a little force.

Mu Jiyue's sleeves were stained by the wine in the cup. She frowned and stood up, looking at the silver wine cup rolling on the ground. She looked behind her and saw Ye Jinchen who had been staring at her.

She raised her beautiful lips and said to Sheng Yunqing: "No more talking, Brother Chen is looking for me."

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back, leaving Sheng Yunqing extremely angry.

Before Ye Jingnian reached her seat, the girl in purple happened to pass by. The familiar sound of a bell made her heart skip a beat.

He frowned in displeasure, grabbed the girl's wrist and glared at her fiercely.

Mu Jiyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Jingnian, and asked in confusion: "Have we met before?"
