Chapter 638 The Sixth Princess’s Thoughts

“She is a prince’s future consort and from such a powerful family. What’s more, I heard that the Third Prince is the legitimate son of the current Empress. The future Emperor of the Southern Barbarian Lands might not be Crown Prince Xieyue!” Even though You Yuecheng’s words were reserved, the Sixth Princess had understood what he meant.

“Then what should we do now?”

“Don’t do anything but wait.” You Yuecheng looked at the Sixth Princess who had obviously turned happy with a hint of darkness in his eyes. “Sixth Princess, you are too impatient!”

“Am I impatient?” The Sixth Princess frowned, looked at You Yuecheng, and said hesitantly, “I… Father… Xieyue, I’m afraid… I don’t want to marry into the Southern Barbarian Lands.”

After that, she looked at You Yuecheng with sad eyes. Suddenly, she lost control and grabbed You Yuecheng’s hand. “Your Excellency, am I continue waiting? I can’t wait any longer! If we continue waiting, Father will issue a decree. At that time, it will be too late for us to do anything.”

You Yuecheng looked up at her, but his attitude remained calm. He reached out to touch the wrist of the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess felt a pain in her wrist and could not help but release her grip. She looked at You Yuecheng with tears. At this moment, she was both excited and painful. She was no longer the calm and collected Sixth Princess.

“Are you, really going to let me marry Crown Prince Xieyue?” She reached out her hand again and held You Yuecheng’s hand fearlessly. The affection in her beautiful eyes was obviously revealing. “Did you really not notice my feelings for you at all? Are you really treating Ling Mingyan so well that you refuse to accept me for her sake? Ding General Manor, Ding General Manor is supporting Eldest brother now. How could they stand on Third brother’s side because of Ling Mingyan?”

Tears trickled down her cheeks. The Sixth Princess knew that she was a calm person and she had never lost her composure. Even when she watched him get married, she still stood by the side with a smile and congratulated him. However, what had happened in the past few days had disturbed her heart even though her mother had comforted her repeatedly and said that she would definitely make the Emperor change his mind.

But was it so easy to change the Emperor’s mind?

Her mother had hinted so many times, but the Emperor still didn’t issue a decree to order the Seventh Princess to marry Crown Prince Xieyue. The Sixth Princess had turned from calm to anxious, and her heart had already been in a mess.

“Sixth Princess, this is King Yan’s Manor.” You Yuecheng raised his handsome face and stretched out his hand again. This time, he did not push her hand away directly. First, he gently pressed her hand and then flicked her wrist. The pain reached her nerves and she could not help but loosen her hand.

The sharp pain and the slight contact of the two palms made the Sixth Princess’s agitated nerves gradually calm down. She was also clear that this was not a suitable place to talk, but apart from this place, as the well-educated and reasonable Sixth Princess, could she have a private conversation with Duke Mingguo’s son?

Unlike the arrogant Fifth Princess, the Sixth Princess had known the importance of reputation since she was a child. She would never chasing after a man or show any sign that she loved a man. Furthermore, the Sixth Princess was good at judging the situation. Of course, this was because the Sixth Princess had suffered a great loss.

When Bai Yihao first arrived in the Qin Kingdom, the princesses in the palace all took a fancy on the immortal-like crown prince of the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the Sixth Princess was also one of them. Regardless of Imperial Noble Consort Wen’s stop, she had even secretly sent a purse to Bai Yihao.

Somehow, the Fifth Princess learned it. The Fifth Princess was the Empress’s daughter, the legitimate princess and she had already warned her sisters in the palace. However, there was someone who ignored her warning. How could she, who had always thought that she was noble, not be furious?

On that night, the Fifth Princess tricked the Sixth Princess to the Cold Palace in the imperial harem, and then pushed her into the pond. Looking at the Sixth Princess struggling in the water, she said coldly on the shore, “How dare you to covet my stuff? Go to hell!”

After that, she left with her people.

Fortunately, Imperial Noble Consort Wen had always been worried about the Sixth Princess, so she sent people to follow the Sixth Princess. After the Fifth Princess left, these people saved the Sixth Princess. After the Sixth Princess survived the disaster, she hid her thoughts. When she saw Bai Yihao in the palace, she retreated. Even though she was also a princess, she had no chance to deal with the Fifth Princess, who had always been arrogant.

Furthermore, Bai Yihao had been indifferent towards her, as towards the others!

The Sixth Princess immediately realized that even if she died, Bai Yihao did not care about her at all. Then why did she have to try to get someone that would never belong to her?

After that, the Sixth Princess got closer to King Yan and also paid attention to You Yuecheng. Unconsciously, she had a deep affection for the latter, who looked handsome and manly. Compared with the other young men of aristocratic families, You Yuecheng was really great. He never got involved with women outside, nor did he have any romantic affairs. She even heard that there were only two maidservants serving him in bed in his manor. It could be said that he had an honest and clean life.

Coupled with his handsome face and slightly fierce aura, the Sixth Princess was fascinated by him.

However, since the Fifth Princess had not married yet at that time, the Sixth Princess did not dare to express her love. She could only keep it in her heart. She did not dare to let others know about her feelings after being tricked by the Fifth Princess. As a result, she had missed the chance. Ling Mingyan had plotted to marry into Mingguo Manor, but the Sixth Princess had never given up.

She was a princess, and as long as she was unmarried, she would have a chance of marrying him.

The two of them had met several times in private because of King Yan, Feng Yulei. Most of their topics were about Feng Yulei. At first, You Yuecheng did not believe her. However, when he saw how she and Consort Wen had worked hard for Feng Yulei, he slowly trusted her.

Although she didn’t tell him her feelings for him, he knew it. But they didn’t say it out.

In order to obtain the power of Ding General Manor, You Yuecheng had no choice but to marry Ling Mingyan. The Sixth Princess did not say a word. She was waiting for an opportunity. As long as her Third brother took the throne, she would have plenty of opportunities!

But in this situation, she was annoyed. She was anxious and excited!

She did not want to marry Crown Prince Xieyue. She definitely did not want to marry into the Southern Barbarian Lands. If she married far away, she really did not have anything left. Her schemes and plans could not be compared to the interests in front of her now. She had to stay in the Qin Kingdom in order to have a chance to be with You Yuecheng in the future.

She could have waited, but she couldn’t wait any longer now!

“Your Excellency, help me!” After calming down, the Sixth Princess looked at You Yuecheng with a pleading look in her pretty eyes. She looked sad and pitiful.

“Sixth Princess, only His Majesty can decide your marriage. As an official, how can I save you?” You Yuecheng said thoughtfully as his eyes landed on his teacup.

This was not a refusal, and there was a profound meaning in his words. The Sixth Princess suddenly calmed down. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked in a slow and trembling voice, “What… what should I do now?”

“Sixth Princess, there is only one way that can absolutely guarantee that you don’t have to go to the Southern Barbarian Lands.” You Yuecheng raised his head and looked at the Sixth Princess’s panicked face.

“What is it?” the Sixth Princess asked anxiously as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Then she blushed as she looked at You Yuecheng. “I… I want to be with you,” she stammered.

Since she had made it clear, it would be better to express her feelings for him now. The Sixth Princess also knew that this was her last chance. If she succeeded, she might be able to be with him forever.

You Yuecheng lowered his head again and his brow was knitted unconsciously. An inexplicable sense of annoyance surged in his heart. Why did all these women force him to marry them? Ling Mingyan was like this, and so was the Sixth Princess. However, this matter was difficult to deal with. He could have pretended that he did not know about it if she did not expose it, but she had said it now.

“Your Excellency, I am His Majesty’s sixth princess. I still have my mother behind me. You also know what people in Father’s harem think of my mother. Look at Ling Mingyan. Does Ding General Manor behind her support King Yan’s Manor? When Third brother had been locked up, Ding General Manor had been standing by and watching. Is such a Ding General Manor really reliable?”

“When Third brother is in trouble, Ding General Manor hasn’t helped him. If Third brother really succeed to the throne in the future, Ding General Manor will come out again. With their relationship with the Empress and the kinship between them, it is possible for them to become the biggest aristocratic family. Then what about you? Will you be willing to let someone else have it?”

The Sixth Princess said more and more logically as she looked at You Yuecheng with earnest eyes. There was more confidence in her eyes. The benefit gap between marrying her and marrying Ling Mingyan were so obvious. Furthermore, she was much better than the unruly Ling Mingyan. She did not believe that You Yuecheng would not fall for her.

“She’s already my wife!” Remaining silent for a long while, You Yuecheng said lightly.

“You can devoice her. As long as she isn’t Consort Yan anymore, I can marry you. At that time, we can help Third brother wholeheartedly,” the Sixth Princess said with deep affection in her eyes.

“Do you have a solution?” A meaningful and faint smile appeared in You Yuecheng’s eyes.

“I have an idea that can save me and degrade Ling Mingyan, Your Excellency, as long as you agree!” The Sixth Princess looked at You Yuecheng with expectation.

You Yuecheng looked at her quietly. There was a complicated look in his eyes. The look was so complicated that the Sixth Princess, who had always been good at analyzing, could not see through it. After a while, You Yuecheng asked lightly, “Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Yes, I’m sure. I can’t wait any longer.”

There was no hope for her to wait. If she continued to wait like this, the Emperor would issue an edict. She would not be able to bear it then. It was not only because of her affection for You Yuecheng, but also because of other things. As such, she would not go to the Southern Barbarian Lands or marry the Crown Prince of the country. There were too many things that her and her mother needed to do in the Qin Kingdom.

The corners of You Yuecheng’s lips curled into a faint smile. He looked like he was smiling, so the Sixth Princess relaxed. No matter what, You Yuecheng had expressed his attitude. The burden on her heart was finally settled. She had known that Ling Mingyan would not win his heart. That woman was arrogant and stupid. How could she get his love? Therefore, even if Ling Mingyan married You Yuecheng, the Sixth Princess was not in a hurry.

She could have waited for a more suitable opportunity to act, but now she didn’t have time!

You Yuecheng stood up and raised his eyebrows. “You don’t have to tell me what to do next. I just want to make it clear that I won’t help you!” He didn’t want to get into this kind of trouble. He would marry the stronger one who would win. Since neither of them was the one he wanted to marry, it made no difference to him who he married.

The Sixth Princess was stunned. She was clear about it, but she still felt a little sad when he said so clearly.

“You’re so smart and should be able to do with it!”

This was not a question, but it made the Sixth Princess feel better immediately. She nodded hard. She knew that compared with stupid Ling Mingyan; she had the upper hand. If Ling Mingyan did not have the support of Ding General Manor behind her, she was nothing. How could she think that marrying You Yuecheng was enough to win his heart?

She equaled to nothing for You Yuecheng at all. Ling Mingyan was such a stupid woman!
