Chapter 35 The Wise Jinshi x The Obsessed Emperor 14

Royal Palace, Luan Feng Palace.

Yun Huai stroked his chin, thoughtfully staring at the man before him.

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

On the very day his results from the Imperial Examinations were announced, he had Zhou Dehai deliver the imperial decree bestowing a marriage to the Prince of Duan’s manor, and even made sure the news reached the Yun residence.

He had to admit, this man knew how to deliver a fatal blow right on the head.

“What if I am, and what if I’m not?”

Qin Jingchuan showed no remorse on his face; after all, the hearts of emperors were all black.

“Before bestowing the marriage, We asked the Prince of Duan for his opinion, and he didn’t object himself.”

Yun Huai raised an eyebrow, questioning, “He didn’t object? Wasn’t he the one who said he had to marry Yun Shu, that he was willing to give her everything, protect her forever, and love her until the end?”

So many sentiments like these, and many more.

For example, the following…

‘You are the one I will grow old with, in this life and the next, whether in the yellow springs or the blue heavens, we will never be apart.’

‘This Prince has no other wish in this life, only to—hold your hand and grow old together.’

‘Not until the mountains crumble, the rivers run dry, winter thunders, summer snows, heaven and earth unite, will I ever part from you.’

‘Who escorts me through mountains and rivers, stage after stage; who shares the wind and snow with me, watch after watch.’

Ever since he became Yun Huai, he had heard too many classic quotes from Yun Shu and the Prince of Duan from the people in the manor, so much that his ears had calluses.

No wonder his impression was so deep.

It was just that in the previous life, he had heard the male and female leads say all kinds of explosive lines with his own ears, but in this life, he learned about them from other people’s mouths.

Qin Jingchuan sneered, “He wouldn’t dare disobey. Love is insignificant in the face of his own life. He wouldn’t be so foolish as to not know better after managing to live until now.”

The late emperor had eight sons, and apart from him, who ascended the throne, only the Prince of Duan had survived.

If the Prince of Duan was really a brainless idiot, he wouldn’t have lived until now. Indulging in romance and idle pleasure was just a protective color he put on himself.

Yun Huai chuckled, “That’s true. You royal children all have eight hundred schemes in your hearts. How could you be consumed by matters of love and desire?”

It seemed that the reputation of this romantic prince was just an umbrella he created for himself.

And yet, he just happened to encounter a female lead who blindly crashed into it. He wondered how heartbroken Yun Shu would be when she found out that the Prince of Duan did not object to this marriage.

Qin Jingchuan rubbed his finger pads, “We even had people announce to the outside world that the Prince of Duan took the initiative to agree to the marriage. Presumably, Yun Shu will be heartbroken again when she learns of this.”

Yun Huai: When it comes to bad intentions, you are the one.

Qin Jingchuan touched Yun Huai’s head, pulling open the other party’s snow-white collar, “A’Huai, she wanted to harm you, so We will make her feel pain to the core.”

“You disdain to argue with her, but We are petty and cannot tolerate such a vicious woman.”

Yun Huai glanced at the other party, “I am not some saint who repays evil with good.”

“I don’t like the people in the Yun residence, and the one I dislike the most is Yun Shu.”

He was not a saint, but Yun Shu was simply a scoundrel.

After all, the Second Miss Yun and the Second Young Master Yun were born to the Madam Luo, so it was normal for them to be hostile to him, the eldest son born of a concubine; the Third Young Master Yun was also born of a concubine, and it was understandable that he disliked him, the eldest brother, because he wanted to compete for more of his father’s favor.

The Eldest Miss Yun Shu, although her biological mother died early, was of proper birth and was highly valued by her father Yun Ai, and there was really no conflict with Yun Huai.

But she just couldn’t stand to see him doing well!

Ever since Yun Shu transmigrated, she had repeatedly targeted Yun Huai, who was buried in his studies.

Could it be that she couldn’t stand others being more hardworking, motivated, talented, and capable than her?!

So speechless!

She was a serious person, not a lemon spirit reincarnated, sour even about this!

Qin Jingchuan curled his lips, “Since that’s the case, then let her hurt a little longer.”

He said casually, “The scene of her beloved marrying someone else, and living harmoniously with his new princess, should be very interesting, right?”
