Even though his head was full of white hair, not only did it not make him look old, it even made his entire body look like an immortal. Only then did she understand why her sister Feng Yi shamelessly recommended her bed so that she could not resist doing the same thing.
She did not want to lose face. Although she could not help but peek at him a few times, she did not dare to do anything out of line. She did not expect Xia Tao Hua, this shameless guy, to actually say that he wanted her.
And what was even harder for her to accept, was that the King Jing had actually taken a fancy to her. This was what was even more difficult for her to accept.
How could a small Lantau Island compare to her, the Fenglan? The King Jing had ignored her, yet she had her eyes on people like Xia Tao Hua.
Xia Tao Hua was too lazy to argue with Qing Yi. After saying this, he turned around and returned to his own palace.
The Easternum's Guest House was very big, and was mainly used to entertain foreign guests. As a result, every palace was separated and everyone lived in their own residence.
When Xia Tao Hua and the Prime Minister returned to their palace, their faces turned pale white and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.
"Princess!"
Seeing that, Prime Minister Wen Ming's face shivered, he immediately retrieved a bottle from his sleeves, took out a pill and gave it to Xia Tao Hua to swallow.
After a while, Xia Tao Hua's complexion looked a little better. The Prime Minister heaved a sigh of relief and asked: "How does the princess feel?"
"It's alright, Prime Minister, don't worry."
Xia Tao Hua had been suffering from heartache since he was young, and it was said that it was because the empress was drugged when she was pregnant with her.
The prime minister had come all the way from the Long Island this time and he knew that the princess didn't want to, but there was nothing she could do.
He glanced at Xia Tao Hua and said, "Princess, do you think that King Jing truly admires you?"
Xia Tao Hua smiled faintly and shook his head, "Of course not."
She could see very clearly whether a man adored her.
Ever since she was young, she had never lacked a man who admired her. That kind of gaze was not like King Jing's.
As for why he was being nice to her, she didn't know.
The Prime Minister knew clearly about Xia Tao Hua's intuition towards men, so when he heard Xia Tao Hua's words, he was shocked. "Since that's the case, then the King Jing, he …"
He frowned, "Why did the King Jing agree to cultivate feelings with the princess?"
Xia Tao Hua curved his lips, his eyes no longer filled with the brilliance of the palace banquet, instead, they were filled with gloom, as if he had experienced a tribulation that ordinary people had not experienced in a long time.
She looked at the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Although my looks can attract a lot of men, King Jing is indeed an exception."
Because of Crown Princess Jing's death, a night's worth of white hair, everyone in the long island had heard about it. How could an empty face like her be able to easily make him fall in love with such a man?
She looked at the Prime Minister's tightly creased eyebrows and said: "Lord Prime Minister, there is no need to be like this. I am willing to marry into the Easternum, and I did not come here to talk about love.
She smiled happily, but Prime Minister Wen saw in her eyes a trace of sadness that shouldn't have existed at her age.
"As long as King Jing is willing to marry me, it doesn't matter how he treats me. What I want is to have a connection with the Easternum."
As long as she had the backing of the heavens, she would be able to help his Big Brother Crown Prince keep his position as the ruler. Just because Royal Father was afraid of the King Jing, he wouldn't dare to carelessly be deposed.
As long as she continued to persevere and wait for the crown prince to ascend to the throne, her mother's days would be much easier.
The Prime Minister looked at Xia Tao Hua and felt sympathy for this young boy who carried so many children on his back.
He was the prime minister of the Lantau Kingdom, the king of the Long Island Country. He was the concubine of the Lantau Kingdom, and the concubine of the Lantau Kingdom was the third prince of the Lantau Kingdom.
However, the Crown Prince's actions were always safe and sound, he had never left any evidence for the Kaiser to depose him, plus the few ministers in the imperial court had always been on his side, it would not be easy for the Crown Prince to be crippled.
But Imperial Concubine Lan had never been someone who was willing to give up. If she continued to blow the wind for the king, then no matter how many officials opposed it, he would cripple the crown prince. No one could do anything about it.
Right now, the only option was to marry the princess to the King Jing. With the King Jing as the backing, the king would have to think it over carefully if he wanted to cripple the crown prince.
In the end, the Prime Minister could only sigh helplessly, "I hope the Prince Jing can treat the princess better."
Xia Tao Hua smiled. There was no ripple in her beautiful eyes.
She didn't ask for much, and it didn't matter whether the King Jing was good or not. What she wanted was to protect the crown prince's brother.
At the moment, as long as news of King Jing's interest was spread, some people on the island would feel uncomfortable.
Liu Ruo Qing followed Yan Yuan back to King Jing Palace, and when she thought about Peach Blossom Princess's face, which was like a peach flower, she couldn't tell what she was feeling. The matter of Peach Blossom Princess wanting to live in King Jing Palace, had caused her to constantly be conflicted.
She was very happy that Yan Yuan was able to step out to throw himself into another relationship. However, seeing the man she loved so much was about to fall in love with another woman made her very unhappy.
After some thought, she sighed.
Liu Ruo Qing arrived at the entrance of her own courtyard, and her footsteps paused for a moment. Following after, she looked at the silent Yan Yuan at the side and said: "Prince, you should rest early.
Yan Yuan frowned, looking at Liu Ruo Qing's calm eyes, he was unable to suppress the fire in his heart.
She was really generous!
The tip of Yan Yuan's nose let out a cold sound as he turned around and walked into the East District.
Liu Ruo Qing watched his tall back as she disappeared from the East Branch entrance with a cold aura. She withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.
She slowly closed the door and walked in. The moment she pushed open the bedroom door, her vision suddenly darkened, and her body swayed slightly. Following that, a warm stream slid out from the tip of her nose.
It had been a long time since she had a nosebleed after taking the medicine that Mr. Lu gave her. During this period of time, although she had almost died from serious injuries and after her injuries healed, she did not feel any discomfort. She had even forgotten that she still had an incurable disease.
Now that this situation had reappeared, it was clear that his condition had worsened.
Liu Ruo Qing had long since gotten used to this illness, so she did not make a fuss about it. She only walked over to the washstand slowly and pinched a towel, covering her nose that was constantly bleeding, and covered it for a while. After confirming that the blood was not flowing from her nose, she heaved a sigh of relief and took the towel from her nose.
