Chapter 391: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by My Cousin 19
Although the words were soft, they struck His Majesty's heart like a heavy hammer, causing his throat to tighten and he wanted only to push her down...
The wild and charming scenes in the dream, like gorgeous but illusory fireworks, kept replaying in Xiao Jingyuan's mind.
The passion and longing from his dream still lingered in the depths of his eyes. However, when his consciousness gradually cleared and he saw the empty bed beside him, that passion was swallowed up by endless loneliness...
The heart that was originally filled in the dream seemed to be emptied in an instant, leaving only a desolate loneliness.
Before his rebirth, Xiao Jingyuan prided himself on being an emperor with great self-control, and he had never thought about women. But now, after having dreams for several days in a row, he has developed a strong attachment to Miaomiao.
Especially after meeting each other several times in dreams, Xiao Jingyuan's self-control has become shaky...
He was a meticulous person and originally planned to take a long-term view.
Miaomiao had just broken off her engagement. If I force myself into her now, it would cause turmoil in her life again, which would not be a good thing for Miaomiao.
In his memory, the torrential rain in the capital did not occur until ten days later, and it was the opportunity he had wanted.
But at this moment, the emptiness and melancholy when he woke up from the dream made him feel an irrepressible impatience and uneasiness in his heart.
He was worried that the passage of time would bring unexpected changes, and was afraid that while he was waiting, someone would secretly steal Miaomiao's heart.
After all, in Miaomiao's eyes, he has always been an emperor rather than a man who can be married. Maybe, for her, it is even safer to be a man who marries into her wife's family?
Therefore, he was worried that other accidents would quietly occur and quietly cut off his and Miaomiao's fate that had not yet truly begun.
Xiao Jingyuan slowly stood up and walked into the bathtub. The warm steam instantly enveloped him. Bathing in the middle of the night almost became his unique hobby.
Xiao Jingyuan knew that in the next few years, he might often come here to bathe in the middle of the night.
Xiao Jingyuan leaned slowly against the edge of the bathtub with his upper body naked, his firm muscles faintly visible in the mist.
He lowered his head slightly, a few strands of wet hair stuck to his cheeks, and water droplets kept dripping down the ends of his hair, merging into the pool of water, making a slight sound.
And those deep eyes were now filled with solemn thought. The plans that had been carefully formulated before were originally to be implemented step by step and steadily, but at this moment, he had different ideas in his mind.
Perhaps, we can be bolder and push some important things forward earlier.
He couldn't wait to announce to everyone that Shi Jia Miaomiao was his queen, the only one in his life, and he would also belong to her.
So, on the fourth day after Miaomiao broke off her engagement, a certain emperor decisively prepared to speed up his pace of pursuing his wife.
The wife who was being pursued had no idea that she was being targeted by the emperor and was still watching the show attentively.
The Shi family's industrial layout has always been carefully thought out and planned, with every link being closely linked. As long as there are no mistakes in the crucial account books and the accounts are clear, and those people with different thoughts below are firmly suppressed, there will basically be no major chaos.
Originally, the cancellation of Miaomiao's engagement with Prince Zhao's Mansion seemed to outsiders like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
Some people are even preparing to use secret means to try to get a share of the Shi family's assets.
However, the emperor's reward soon came to the Shi family like timely rain.
Those precious and meaningful rewards undoubtedly gave the Shi family an invisible but highly deterrent halo, causing those who had ill intentions and were eager to try to stop their tricks and return to a wait-and-see state.
It also gave the Shi family a chance to catch their breath.
Miaomiao's good mood lasted until early morning before disappearing.
As soon as she got up, she saw her ungrateful sister, who usually disappeared during the day, now approaching her in a contrary manner.
Miaomiao looked at her cousin who was pretending to be coquettish with suspicion. She had already guessed that her cousin had come here with bad intentions, but she didn't point it out. She just listened to her quietly.
When Miaomiao heard her cousin's sweet voice asking, "If I find a partner, will you bless me?", she suddenly understood.
This is obviously a trap for myself, great.
"You have a home. No matter who it is, as long as their family background is clean, I, your cousin, will give you my blessing."
If you want to play, I will play with you.
She already had an idea in her mind. As long as her cousin and the prince really got married, she would immediately show the second imperial edict in her hand.
Anyway, this good stuff must be kept and taken out when the prey enters the cave.
She was just taking things one step at a time. As for those sophisticated plans, with her own luck buff, Miaomiao was not afraid at all...
After the two of them exchanged a few words of flattery, her cousin left the house. Miaomiao wished she could be with the selling-ass prince, so she naturally didn't say anything to stop her and just pretended not to know.
There was a maid watching over her, and her cousin's every move and every word was in her eyes, just waiting for the moment when she saw something too out of line, so that the marriage between the two would be finalized.
However, at this time, the atmosphere in Prince Zhao's mansion was depressing and tense.
King Zhao was so angry that his face turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were full of rage. He no longer looked calm as he did in the court.
He seemed to be furious and kicked Xiao Yichen hard.
Looking at his son's still unconvinced eyes, he felt a buzzing pain in his head.
"You bastard! His Majesty just broke off your engagement with the Shi family girl, and now the situation in the palace is dire, why don't you learn your lesson?
I wonder what your Majesty's temperament is like?
You just broke up with the girl from the Shi family and you're already involved with her good-for-nothing cousin?
The Shi family girl also has the Shi family as a dowry, but what about that woman? She has a foxy look and can't give you anything.
You put yourself in danger, do you think His Majesty's decree is just a joke?
Or are you planning to put our Zhaowang Mansion in danger?"
Xiao Yichen knelt on the ground. Although there was pain on his face, he felt unwilling and aggrieved in his heart.
My father always scolds me. Why doesn’t he think about who was embarrassed by the imperial edict issued a few days ago?
He, the prince of Zhaowang Mansion, was engaged to a merchant's daughter, but His Majesty simply cancelled the engagement?
Not only was it resolved, but it even gave face to the girl from the Shi family. Since it gave face to the girl from the Shi family, it was a slap in his face.
He was a dignified prince, but he was slapped in the face by the daughter of a lowly merchant. Where could he put his face?
On the contrary, it was Shu who really loved him at that time, and the admiration on her face made Xiao Yichen regain some dignity.
"Father, please calm down. I have something to say.
At this time, the family has not only Shi Miaomiao, the legitimate daughter. To put it bluntly, there are two young ladies in the family, although in name one is the real one and the other is the cousin.
But if he really died, his cousin could still take over, right? "
