Chapter 229 Preparing Dowry for Sister-in-law
Yun Yiduo was so shocked when she heard the prince's words that she didn't know what expression to make or what to say. In just half a day, how did Ji Cheng turn this gentle prince into a sinister person?
He was accusing and blaming others, and his ultimate goal was to help Ji Cheng snatch the bride. Why did he let Zhang Qiong marry Sister Zijun? Even if Brother Zhang's behavior today was inappropriate, as long as a gag order was issued, no one would dare to discuss the princess's affairs.
"Your Majesty the King has never done me any favors. I just think that my sister is gentle, kind, virtuous, and respectful, which is a perfect match for the chivalrous, righteous, and straightforward hero Zhang."
Zhang Qiong was speechless, and Yun Yiduo's jaw dropped again. Just because he felt that they were a good match, he had to use such means. It was really amazing. Although this prince was young, he would definitely be a great talent in the future. The means he used were really unexpected.
"Your Highness, do you think that threats like yours will make me surrender?"
The prince smiled, no longer as nervous as when he first entered the room. He came to Zhang Qiong very sincerely and looked at her.
"Although Zhang Da Xia is a man of the martial arts world, he also knows how important a woman's reputation is. If you don't retreat today, the Great Chongming King will return empty-handed, and my sister will become the target of public criticism.
With the kindness of the imperial sister, she will not pursue you after she wakes up, and will also send you her most sincere blessings. However, because of your act of saving people in a desperate situation, her life will be darkened from now on. Can you bear the guilt for her for the rest of her life? "
"Can Your Highness the Crown Prince bear the guilt towards Zhang for the rest of his life?"
"It's just guilt. Compared with my sister's lifelong happiness, I can bear it. But, Master Zhang, can you say this?"
"But it is……"
Zhang Qiong wanted to speak, but the image of that beautiful, yet muddy face flashed through her mind. She was very shy, and didn't have a sweet smile like Yun Yiduo's, but she was as gentle as the wind, as if she could calm people's hearts.
In the end, he couldn't say such words indifferently. If the eldest princess had a bad life because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life!
"Brother Zhang, Sister Zijun is a very good woman, you should marry her!"
Suddenly, Yun Yiduo's words made Zhang Qiong confused. He looked at her in disbelief, and soon he showed a look of understanding.
"Have you spoken your mind yet?"
"Brother Zhang?"
"My dear wife, you know that if your heart belongs to me, I can fight for you. Even if it is a serious crime that destroys diplomatic relations, I am not afraid."
Yun Yido saw the hurt in Zhang Qiong's eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
"sorry!"
"In fact, I already knew that you were thinking about him. Because, whether you love or not, your eyes can't lie. It's good this way, I don't have to feel guilty towards the princess, and I won't feel that I stole Ji Cheng's sweetheart. But, my little wife, I want Ji Cheng to know that he owes me."
As Zhang Qiong finished his words, he waved his hand, and a strong wind blew all the teacups on the table to the ground. Immediately, crackling sounds were heard in the room.
"This is too much! If you, the royal family, behave like this, Zhang will never yield!"
His actions immediately shocked Yun Yiduo and the prince. What was he doing? Was he putting on a big show? We were just talking fine, why did he flip the table over when he disagreed with something?
After Zhang Qiong's angry shouting died down, he looked at the stunned prince and kept blinking at him. The prince immediately understood and said seriously:
"How can the majesty of the royal family be challenged by a commoner like you? Today, you have to marry my sister, whether you want to or not."
"Don't marry!"
Wow!
There was another loud crashing sound. At this time, many people had gathered outside the door. Even the old Duke and Mr. Ouyang were alarmed. The Poison King was also invited from Xueluo's new home.
Things got a bit out of hand. The dragon guards who were protecting the prince drew their swords and pointed them at Zhang Qiong. However, Zhang Qiong looked at them calmly with a look of disdain on his face.
"Put down your swords and don't let the people of Dachong laugh at you. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I can grant your request, but please ask the King Ming to come over."
There was a stern look between Zhang Qiong's eyebrows, but it was not directed at the prince. He quite admired this little prince who was quite cunning. However, he was a little unhappy that this child, who was more cunning than a sieve, was plotting against him.
The prince did not hesitate and strode out of Zhang Qiong's room. Seeing this, the dragon guards did not stay in Zhang Qiong's room and left.
"Brother Zhang!"
"Okay, no need to say more. My dear wife, all these years, Big Brother Zhang has been thinking about marrying you. Now he doesn't even have this thought anymore. Big Brother Zhang feels empty inside!"
"Don't say sorry, you haven't done anything wrong to Brother Zhang. The princess is a good person, and Brother Zhang won't let her live a lonely life for the rest of her life. But Brother Zhang doesn't deserve her!"
"No, Brother Zhang deserves the best in the world."
Yun Yiduo tried hard to hold back her tears. She knew Zhang Qiong had sacrificed a lot, and she also knew that he said those words to comfort her. Zhang Qiong was the most open-minded man in the world, simple, passionate, and sincere. He deserved the best in the world.
"Others may be good, but they are not as good as you."
Zhang Qiong whispered softly, but Yun Yiduo burst into tears. She just sobbed and refused to leave. While she was taking good care of Zhang Qiong, Ji Cheng was invited to the room by the prince.
As soon as Ji Cheng entered the room, he saw Yun Yido feeding Zhang Qiong water. After feeding him the water, she gently wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. Her care was so meticulous that he gritted his teeth.
"You just broke your leg, don't you have any arms?"
Ji Cheng looked at her unkindly and threw angry words at her, but Zhang Qiong pretended not to see it and continued to order Yun Yiduo:
"My dear wife, please move this pillow for me. It's not comfortable to sit like this."
Seeing this, Yun Yiduo hurriedly moved his pillow a few times, and also helped him move his body, fearing that he would be uncomfortable sitting. Zhang Qiong leisurely enjoyed Yun Yiduo's care, and looked at Ji Cheng provocatively with her small eyes.
Ji Cheng wanted to get angry, but when he looked at Zhang Qiong's broken leg, he felt much better.
"Alas, some people who are unlucky are prone to many disasters. He just broke a bone a while ago, and now he broke his leg. I wonder if it's because he has bad character?"
Zhang Qiong snorted coldly after hearing Ji Cheng's sour words, and said without any politeness:
"I don't know if he is a good person, but he is lucky. He has a young wife who provides Hui Yuan Dan and waits on him. He is quite comfortable. Unlike some people, no one cares about him even if he loses half his life!"
When the prince entered the room, he heard Zhang Qiong's reckless words. He thought that King Chongming would be rude to Zhang Qiong, but who knew that Ji Cheng calmly moved a stool and sat next to Zhang Qiong, and even kindly tucked the quilt for him.
"My dear brother, the final winner has been decided. Although I won unfairly, I will not let you suffer any loss. The alliance between Da Chong and Zhongyuan will remain unchanged, and the betrothal gifts will be doubled. In addition, I will prepare a generous dowry for the eldest princess, my sister-in-law. How about that?"
