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

Chapter 203 The Arrival of the Western Shu Envoy
Seeing that Ye Jingnian's expression was not good, Eunuch Li tactfully withdrew, saying, "This servant will go back to report now."

When Ye Jingnian returned to the courtyard, he saw Mu Zhixing clutching the imperial edict, kneeling on the ground in a daze.

She caught a glimpse of Ye Jingnian walking towards her out of the corner of her eye, and only then did she snap out of her daze, looking at him with a bewildered expression: "Your Highness..."

Ye Jingnian looked at her, a meaningful sneer on his face, and extended his hand.

Mu Zhixing looked up, swallowed hard, and raised her slightly cool hand to touch it.

Ye Jingnian took her hand, and as she stood up, he put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and carried her into the hall.

He pinned her against the soft couch, pressed her waist, and sealed her lips with his.

He pulled open her clothes and saw the insignia of the Eastern Palace on her shoulder, and gently kissed it.

"Your Highness..." Mu Zhixing frowned slightly. Ye Jingnian's expression looked strange, and her intuition told her that he was in a bad mood.

She gently placed her hand on his shoulder, but he grabbed her wrist and pinned it against the pillow, a wicked smile in his eyes.

He stared at the dark red brand, his voice slightly hoarse: "Tell me, what would your father think if he knew you bore my mark, Ye Jingnian's mark?"

Mu Zhixing was speechless, and her heart suddenly felt half cold.

He used to look at her wounds with only tenderness in his eyes, but now, a sense of pride and arrogance swept over her, leaving her nowhere to hide.

She slowly clenched her fists, turned her face away, and her almond-shaped eyes reddened slightly with embarrassment.

Night Scene kissed her earlobe and said, "I heard that the Third Princess of Western Shu was favored by the Emperor even before she was born. His most precious little princess has fallen into the hands of the Asura War God who once struck fear into the hearts of the Western Shu army. Will he be so anxious that he cries?"

Mu Zhixing's nose turned red, and she bit her lip in grievance. A few tears welled up in her eyes.

Ye Jingnian admired her helplessness, kissing away the tears on her face, seemingly enjoying her pain.

His fingertips rubbed against her trembling lips as he said, "Are you being wronged by me?"

Mu Zhixing didn't dare to speak, she just sobbed softly.

"Fine." He sneered, the burning heat of his fingertips leaving a slight tingling sensation on her icy skin. "If you were to marry someone else, that would be fine, but you insist on marrying the person he fears most. The envoys who came from Western Shu have probably driven many Ferghana horses to their deaths in their quest to snatch you back as quickly as possible."

Mu Zhixing looked at him with reddened eyes and said, "Does Western Shu want me to go back?"

Ye Jingnian's eyes narrowed, and he tightened his grip on her chin, gritting his teeth as he said, "You really want to go back that badly?"

Mu Zhixing shook her head, trembling, and said, "I won't go back. Azhi will stay with Your Highness."

Ye Jingnian suddenly released her, raised her hand and gently brushed away the stray hairs on her forehead, her voice slightly softer, and said, "When the divorce papers are issued, even if you want to renege, I will personally throw you out of the Crown Prince's residence."

"No..." Mu Zhixing pleaded humbly, her voice trembling with sobs.

“However, before that,” Ye Jingnian said to himself, a cruel smile playing on his lips, “wouldn’t it be interesting if you returned to Western Shu pregnant with the child of the enemy country’s crown prince?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jingnian grabbed the back of her head and kissed her roughly, plundering everything from her.

Two days later, the delegation from Western Shu arrived in Zhu Luo capital.

The procession welcoming the Third Princess was indeed grand, with the head envoy, Yuwen Heng, dressed in a dark purple official robe, and the Western Shu delegation exuding a mysterious and gloomy aura.

"By order of His Majesty, I respectfully welcome the Third Princess back to the country." In the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence, Yan Chuan bowed to Yuwen Heng as a courtesy.

Yuwen Heng, sitting in the guest seats with the ten shamans behind him, frowned in displeasure and said, "Where is the princess? Where is the Crown Prince of Zhu Luo? Is this how you Zhu Luo treat your guests?"

Yan Chuan gave a polite smile and said, "Envoy, our prince and the empress are deeply in love. Now that they must part, it is natural that they are reluctant to leave each other. After hearing the news of the divorce, our prince has stayed at home and has no heart for morning court... The empress is also very reluctant to leave. Please understand, envoy."

Upon hearing this, the envoys nodded in understanding.

Back then, everyone in Western Shu knew of Ye Jingnian's cruelty. They all thought that if the Third Princess fell into his hands, he would surely devour her whole.

Yuwen Heng frowned with some doubt and asked, "May I ask... are the princess's limbs and internal organs intact?"

Upon hearing this, the group of shamans also looked up at Yan Chuan, their eyes filled with worry and apprehension.

Yan Chuan said expressionlessly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness cherishes the Empress dearly. Since marrying the Empress, His Highness has not taken any other wives or concubines. The Empress is the only one in the inner courtyard."

Hearing this, Yuwen Heng finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, it would be easy to explain to the emperor.

Zhaoyang Hall.

The doors and windows made a banging sound, and Mu Zhixing frowned and groaned, her sharp ears picking up the noise outside.

“Our Lady usually drinks and chats with His Highness in this courtyard. His Highness is skilled at playing the zither, and the Lady is skilled at playing the zheng. The two of them are in perfect harmony, which is the envy of others.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhixing gritted her teeth and frowned, saying softly, "Your Highness is skilled at the zither... A-Zhi... is skilled at the zheng... How come A-Zhi... doesn't know?"

Ye Jingnian wrapped his arm around her waist, nibbled at her ear with a mischievous grin, and said, "Want to learn? Beg the envoy to let you stay a few more days, and I'll teach you."

Mu Zhixing was slightly out of breath, her cheeks flushed with a beautiful blush. She turned her face away and said, "No need... His Highness has taught me... enough these past two days..."

Ye Jingnian picked her up, swept the memorials off the desk with one hand, pressed her against the desk, and gently traced the outline of her lips with his fingertips, his eyes revealing a deep meaning: "No need to learn new things, or no need to stay a few more days?"

Mu Zhixing's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip without saying a word.

"The Crown Prince's residence in Zhu Luo is quite elegant; I imagine the princess is living comfortably there."

Hearing footsteps in the corridor outside, Mu Zhixing gritted her teeth and reached out to brace herself against Ye Jingnian, saying, "Your Highness, the envoy is outside... he'll be discovered..."

Ye Jingnian lifted her chin, looked at her tearful appearance, a cold smile appeared on his thin lips, and said in a low voice, "That's perfect, let's show your envoys how their princess is bullied by the prince of the enemy country."

Mu Zhixing's tears fell in strings, and she raised her hand to cover his lips.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Mu Zhixing's voice, hoarse with sobs, cried out, "Please, Your Highness... the envoy has been waiting... for a very long time..."

Ye Jingnian pulled her close, sat on the throne behind her, and ground his fingertips into the insignia of the Eastern Palace on her shoulder. His dark phoenix eyes gleamed with a dangerous light: "You really can't wait to go back."

Mu Zhixing shook her head, the pearl hairpin in her hair fell loose, and her long black hair fell smoothly down.

She looked into Ye Jingnian's eyes and said, "If the envoy... blames His Highness..."
