OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1295: Jiang Ying, How Daring You Are!

Jiang Ying was so startled that she slid right off the cushion.

Prince Qing raised an eyebrow, "What, are you so happy you’ve gone mad?"

Jiang Ying came back to her senses, "I’m scared!"

"Prince, what kind of awful idea is this? I refuse to marry just to avoid marrying my cousin."

"But marrying you, what would that be about?"

Prince Qing’s previously smiling expression turned cold.

"Why are you in such a rush? Listen to me first."

"Requesting an imperial decree for marriage is just in name, but you don’t have to actually marry me."

"When your cousin leaves the Capital and returns to Yingzhou, I will request the annulment of the marriage, stating that the issue is on my part."

"By then, it will solve your problem without tarnishing your reputation or affecting your future marriage."

"Isn’t this a good plan?"

Jiang Ying was dumbfounded.

Prince Qing reached out, taking her slender wrist and first helping her up.

Jiang Ying whispered, "It sounds like a good idea... but, why does the Prince want to help me like this?"

Prince Qing scoffed, "I just don’t want you to be pushed into a corner and foolishly take your own life."

"Then I would lose a soft target to vent my frustration on. You’re quite amusing, so naturally, I want you to stay."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but glare at Prince Qing.

"Then I must thank the Prince for his favor!"

"No need, but I’m still curious, why don’t you want to marry?"

Prince Qing smiled faintly, "As you said, I’ve also looked into it. Your cousin is distinguished and has admired you since childhood."

"He’s traveled all the way from Yingzhou, sought your parents’ consent, and even vowed to spend a lifetime with just you."

"Why don’t you like such a good man?"

Jiang Ying lowered her eyes slightly, muttering softly, "Because he’s not in love with the current me..."

Prince Qing didn’t catch that, "What?"

Jiang Ying raised her head, "I said, because I don’t like him."

"He’s only in love with my past self, but people grow up. Who can guarantee I’ll be exactly the same as before?"

"What is the point of marrying someone I don’t love?"

"So, I’m unwilling."

Prince Qing thought for a moment, then nodded, "You have a point. Very well, I’ll help you to the end!"

Jiang Ying extended her hand, "Thank you, Prince, this grace will be remembered in my heart!"

Prince Qing looked down at her hand.

Jiang Ying knew he didn’t understand the gesture, so she took the initiative to shake his hand up and down.

"This is called a handshake, a gesture of courtesy, meaning thank you."

Having said that, Jiang Ying smiled brightly, "Oh, by the way, Prince, Happy New Year, I have a small gift prepared for you!"

She then pulled a hand-sewn doll from her sleeve.

The doll was only palm-sized, yet its expression was vivid, looking quite fierce, and was dressed in fine robes.

Prince Qing took it, frowning, "Is this supposed to be me?"

Jiang Ying nodded emphatically.

Prince Qing, gritting his teeth, "Jiang Ying, you’re bold!"

Jiang Ying stuck out her tongue, "This is a gift for the Prince. No matter how bold, it’s still a present. Please accept it!"

With that, she practically flew out of the carriage, humming a tune as she entered the mansion.

Prince Qing watched her retreating figure.

He looked down at the fierce little doll in his hand.

After a moment, he couldn’t help but let a slight smile slip across his lips.

"This crazy girl."

Then, Prince Qing ordered the carriage to turn around.

"To the palace, I must inform the Imperial Brother that Jiang Ying has agreed to marry me."
