Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ren Buqing looked at Fu Qingsheng who was dragged away and asked Tang Jinghong in confusion, “General, how did you know about the rice grain tattoo?”
Tang Jinghong told Ren Buqing about the case that Chu Qingzhi had told him…
Ren Buqing fell into silence. His heart was heavy, and he felt suffocated. “General, I have a feeling that a storm is coming.”
Tang Jinghong said slowly, “I hope we can stop all of this.”
Ren Buqing nodded. “Let’s do our best.”
A jailer ran over in a hurry. “General, outside the Ministry of Judice, there is a fierce girl. She’s holding a whip and has already injured many people. She’s shouting that she wants to see you.”
Tang Jinghong had a bad feeling and quickly walked out.
As expected…
When Princess Changle saw Tang Jinghong, she immediately put away her whip and smiled gently as if she had become a different person. “Jinghong, why didn’t you tell me that you were back in the capital?” As she spoke, she wanted to pull Tang Jinghong’s hand.
“Princess, you shouldn’t leave the palace casually.” Tang Jinghong put his hands behind his back and avoided the princess’s hand. The princess’s hand missed, and a trace of gloominess flashed across her eyes.
When the people who had been injured by Princess Changle heard this, they thought that it was no wonder that a young lady dared to come to the Ministry of Justice and beat people up. It turned out that she was that arrogant and despotic princess.
The palace maid standing at the side with her head lowered nodded in her heart. General Tang, quickly get the princess to return to the palace. In the entire world, the princess only listens to you.
Princess Changle said coquettishly, “Didn’t I leave the palace for you? You really are heartless. You want me to return to the palace as soon as we meet.”
Tang Jinghong was slightly frustrated. “I still have many things to deal with here. If you want to stay, be my guest.” With that, he walked away.
Princess Changle hurriedly stopped Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong, do you not like me so much?”
Wasn’t it obvious? Moreover, he had always had this attitude. Tang Jinghong said coldly, “Princess, please behave yourself.”
If it were anyone else, Princess Changle would have lost her temper long ago. However, she was worried that if she lost her temper, Tang Jinghong would ignore her even more.
“Jinghong, why are you so cold to me?”
Tang Jinghong became even colder. He pursed his lips and said, “Princess, I have a fiancee. Don’t come looking for me again.”
The word “fiancee” exploded in the princess’s mind like a bomb. Her expression froze and her body swayed. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she asked excitedly, “Who? Who is your fiancee?”
She had liked Tang Jinghong for so many years. Why did he suddenly have a fiancee without letting her know?
She could accept it if Tang Jinghong didn’t like any woman, but why was that fiancee an exception? Why could she win Tang Jinghong’s heart? Why!!!
Princess Changle did not believe him. She stared straight at Tang Jinghong, her eyes red. She asked word by word, “Jinghong, are you joking with me?”
Tang Jinghong said coldly, “I’m not joking with you. Princess, please leave.”
Princess Changle gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Jinghong hatefully. “Let me tell you, if I can’t get you, no one else can. I’ll return to the palace immediately and let my brother matchmake us. You can only be mine.”
With that, the princess fiercely flicked her whip and ran towards the palace.
Tang Jinghong looked at the princess’s back and frowned. It had been so long, why hadn’t the princess given up?!
Ren Buqing walked forward. “General Tang, is the fiancee you mentioned true?”
God knew how many nobles in the palace secretly asked about the type of girl Tang Jinghong liked when he became famous.
Tang Jinghong was simply the perfect type for everyone…
He held a lot of power, and his rewards piled up like a mountain. He did not have concubines. His family was simple, and if one married into the family, she would be the wife of the general. As a woman, you couldn’t ask for more than that.
Everyone was tempted by such a good marriage. Some even asked the empress dowager to matchmake.
However, they all gave up since the princess announced that Tang Jinghong could only marry her. Otherwise, the person who snatched Tang Jinghong from her would end up in a miserable state.
The Emperor doted on Princess Changle very much. Moreover, Princess Changle was ruthless to begin with. Who dared to provoke her? Hence, everyone was forced to give up on Tang Jinghong.
Tang Jinghong turned to look at Ren Buqing with a serious expression. “Of course it’s true.”
Ren Buqing smiled and said, “Congratulations, General.”
“Thank you.” A gentle light appeared in Tang Jinghong’s eyes, but it disappeared immediately. “Buqing, 1 need to go to the palace now.”
Ren Buqing cupped his hands. “Please go ahead, General.”
The news of Tang Jinghong having a fiancee spread very quickly, shattering the hearts of many unmarried ladies.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Princess Changle showed no regard for the palace rules and barged into the imperial study. She cried and said, “Brother, I’m being bullied.”
When the Emperor saw Princess Changle’s outfit, he frowned. “You left the palace?”
Princess Changle couldn’t care less about this now. Her heart was troubled by Tang Jinghong having a fiancee. “Brother, don’t talk about this. I have something more important to tell you.”
The Emperor was having a headache over political matters. When he heard Changle’s words, his headache worsened. “What is it? Tell me.”
Princess Changle directly knelt down. “1 beg you to be my matchmaker.”
The Emperor sized up Princess Changle. Everyone knew that Changle liked Tang Jinghong. Did she change her mind and decide to marry someone else? “Who do you want to marry?”
Princess Changle spoke without thinking, “Tang Jinghong!”
The Emperor didn’t know what to say.
He actually hoped that Princess Changle could marry Tang Jinghong, but Tang Jinghong had already made it clear to him that he would not marry the princess. Otherwise, he would resign and go into seclusion.
Tang Jinghong was his number one general. Compared to Princess Changle’s marriage, he was much more important.
The Emperor said straightforwardly, “Changle, Tang Jinghong doesn’t want to marry you.”
Princess Changle was already at her wits’ end. She had a feeling that she was really going to lose Tang Jinghong this time. In her desperation, she said, “Brother, you’re the Emperor. If he doesn’t want to marry me, force him to marry me!”
The Emperor didn’t know what to say.
Just because he was the Emperor didn’t mean he could not be willful, okay?
Besides, was Tang Jinghong someone who could be forced?
He knew very well that if he forced Tang Jinghong, Tang Jinghong would definitely do what he said. Who would guard the Daling Dynasty for him then?
As long as Tang Jinghong was around, those neighboring countries would not dare to act rashly..
