Chapter 219: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
Seeing the eldest princess's face turn ashen, Ye Ruoxing guessed something. The eldest princess must have some connection with Chen Shuhuan.
Although she didn't know whether she liked Chen Shuhuan or hated him, since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "General Chen Shuhuan and I know each other. He felt sorry for me, so he just gave me this toy as a reward."
The eldest princess's attention was all on the name Chen Shuhuan. The more she looked at the hairpin, the more irritating it seemed to her.
She has always admired Chen Shuhuan.
After all, how could such an outstanding man not attract attention? He became famous at a young age. At the age of thirteen, he followed General Chen to the battlefield. At the age of fifteen, he made great military achievements. At the age of seventeen, he was named the Wolf's Lair and became a legend.
Moreover, his appearance is also first-class. Unlike the frail students of the Hanlin Academy, his handsome face reveals a unique elegance unique to the battlefield.
The eldest princess fell in love with him at first sight after seeing him shoot a pair of wild geese with one arrow at the hunting ground during the autumn examination.
However, after countless letters sent by carrier pigeons, I only received a simple response: "I already have a lover. Although the princess appreciates me, I dare not deceive her. I hope the princess will choose another good husband."
She had given up hope at first, but after asking around, she found out that Chen Shuhuan had no lover at all, and even his guard dog was a male, so the princess rekindled her hope.
However, when she saw this hairpin, her heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. After all, she knew that such a hairpin was not an ordinary thing that could be bought casually unless she looked for it specifically.
Thinking of this, the princess's face turned cold. She put her hands on her hips and ordered arrogantly, "Show me your hairpin."
Although Ye Ruoxing didn't know what the princess was going to do, she still took off the hairpin and held it in both hands to present it to the eldest princess.
After taking the hairpin, the eldest princess played with it carefully in her hands. Her eyes fell on the hairpin, and she was particularly interested in it. She stroked the lines on it with her thumb and smiled.
"So you're Chen Shuhuan's sweetheart. I originally thought General Chen, with his personality, wouldn't express his feelings even if he liked someone. I didn't expect him to be so affectionate. Look at the hairpin engraved with 'Gift to Little Star - Chen Shuhuan'. He really put a lot of thought into engraving such a line of words on such a small hairpin."
Ye Ruoxing's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't noticed the words engraved on the hairpin. She subconsciously looked up.
I didn't expect that Chen Shuhuan was so devoted to the original owner. What a pity.
"Your servant..."
Before she could finish her words, the eldest princess reached out and pulled her hard into her arms. The cold hairpin pressed against her face, and her heart sank.
The eldest princess reached out and touched her face, smiling, "Tell me, if I scratched a few times on your beautiful face, would your minister Shu Huan still love you like this?"
Ye Ruoxing: ...
I just can't get along with her face. It turns out that being beautiful means having too many troubles. There are always people who want to harm her.
Master Ye also looked up in astonishment, his heart almost jumping into his throat. He had been worried that Ye Ruoxing's appearance was ruined and what would happen to her entering the palace.
But when he unexpectedly discovered that Ye Ruoxing had restored her appearance, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. However, it was not long before his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was lifted up again.
He tried to stop her with a trembling voice, "Princess, no! I still have to participate in the beauty pageant. If my appearance is ruined, I really won't be able to explain it to you."
Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled and slightly increased the strength of her hands. "My father has enough concubines in the palace. One more or one less is nothing. My father won't care about it anyway."
As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer to Ye Ruoxing's neck and sneered, "I didn't think you were a playboy at first, but who knew you were flirting with Brother Shu Huan while also trying to hook up with my uncle? You look so plain and simple, but you seem to have quite a bit of talent. What, are you trying to pretend in front of this princess? It's a pity you chose the wrong person."
Ye Ruoxing clearly felt the pain on her face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was ready to buy some ointment to repair her face from the system.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound of impact, an arrow hit the silver hairpin directly. The eldest princess did not hold it firmly in her hand, and the hairpin fell to the ground.
……
For a moment, the scene seemed to freeze, and Master Ye looked up in surprise.
I saw the emperor's uncle in a cloak, holding a bow and arrow in a black carriage.
He saluted the emperor's uncle again in fear, "I greet the emperor's uncle."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess instantly put away her arrogance and turned around in panic to salute the figure in the carriage opposite.
"My niece meets my uncle."
Ye Ruoxing freed herself from the princess's hold and turned to salute Jiang Wuchen, "This humble lady greets the Emperor."
Jiang Wuchen didn't let everyone get up.
After putting down the bow and arrow, he walked over to Ye Ruoxing, bent down to pick up the hairpin at her feet, and reached out to put it into her bun.
"My granddaughter is naughty, please forgive me."
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the trembling princess, his face livid, and his tone grew deeper and deeper, "You've become so successful now, yet you actually dare to commit a crime in the street?"
The eldest princess muttered softly, "I sent all the people away when I came here just now."
"Just because you've driven the people away, does that mean you can kill people in the streets?"
Jiang Wuchen's voice became colder, and his gaze was like a sharp sword, sweeping across the princess.
"Jiang Yuan, as a princess of the royal family, do you think your behavior can set a good example for your other brothers and sisters?"
"You know, based on what you did today, I can have your father send you to the Royal Institution."
……
The color on Jiang Yuan's face faded little by little as Jiang Wuchen spoke, and she begged almost in tears.
"Uncle, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I don't want to go to that place."
The last time my second brother went there, he came back with bruises all over his body. It was really scary.
Seeing her crying bitterly, Jiang Wuchen's expression finally eased a little. He said, "In that case, then return to the palace and reflect on yourself for three months. You are not allowed to leave the palace before three months. If I find out that you have left the palace without permission, I will tell your father about it."
Although Jiang Yuan was extremely reluctant, being confined in her own palace was much better than being sent to the disciplinary center. She kowtowed and replied, "Yuan'er obeys the orders of the Emperor's uncle."
……
Jiang Wuchen ordered his men to escort the princess back. Before she left, she added, "Uncle Emperor, don't trust this woman. She's fickle. While she's involved with Young Master Chen, she's also trying to seduce you. Yuan'er has already investigated her background."
