I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 149 The One I Love

"Who told you to let him stay?"

In the pavilion, Chu Mingzheng was as irritable as a puppy whose tail was stepped on, and he slapped the pillars.

You see, helping others is a thankless job and you will be blamed.

Lu Mingyang pointed to the guest room where the masked man was staying. Seeing Princess Qinghe's attentiveness, he also became more assertive. "You're showing off here. Why didn't you say anything just now? Are your legs filled with lead?"

"What can I say!" Chu Mingzheng was so angry that he had a headache: "She was quite smart when she was a child. What happened to her in recent years? She has lost her brain!"

The hand that clung to the pillar clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, feeling very restless. Lu Mingyang felt that if Princess Qinghe had continued to follow him, he would be able to beat her butt to pieces.

But now, after all, they haven't seen each other for many years, and if things go wrong, the brother-sister relationship may be broken.

Come to think of it, it's not easy for him either.

Lu Mingyang tried to pat his shoulder and soothed him, "You don't have to be so angry. Maybe she'll just like him for a few days and then stop liking him."

Chu Mingzheng suddenly glanced sideways and stared closely at the girl in front of him.

Lu Mingyang was frightened by his stare: "What are you doing?"

"Go and persuade her!"

"I'm not okay!"

They are in a time of affection right now, and if you try to persuade them, won't you just make them hate you? But seeing Chu Mingzheng's determination to win, Lu Mingyang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, let me give you an idea."

"you say!"

"You can ask your cousin to persuade them," Lu Mingyang suggested sincerely, "They got along really well yesterday. She will definitely be able to persuade them."

"Just you go!"

"Why?" Lu Mingyang was dissatisfied.

Chu Mingzheng said as a matter of course: "You are the eldest sister-in-law, if you don't go, who will go?"

"……All right!"

After the words came out of her mouth, Lu Mingyang was stunned. She clearly wanted to say "joke", but why did she say "okay". But now she didn't have time to think about it, because Princess Qinghe came over.

She hummed, raised her chin, and raised her eyebrows: "Sister-in-law, where do I live?"

"Would you like to live with me?" Lu Mingyang greeted him with a smile.

"No one else?"

So soon, my dear elder brother has become someone else. That ugly guy is really charming.

"No one else, His Highness lives in the study." Lu Mingyang smiled and took her back to the room.

Chu Mingzheng looked around, followed him secretly, and followed him all the way to the corner of the wall.

He didn't remember when he had ever listened to the wall corner. He only remembered that since he could remember, he had been a gentleman and had never done such a shameful thing.

In the room, Lu Mingyang poured a cup of hot tea for Princess Qinghe and tentatively asked about the masked man.

"Ling'er, how long have you known each other?"

"It's been a long time," the young woman, who had just begun to fall in love, said with a shy smile, "Three months!"

"It's been quite a while!" Lu Mingyang laughed awkwardly. "How did you two meet?"

Speaking of this, Princess Qinghe's eyes lit up.

"After my father passed away, many refugees came to Jinyang. My mother offered him porridge to pray for his well-being. That day, it rained heavily and the porridge shed collapsed. Everyone rushed to grab the food, but he was the only one who rescued me from under the porridge shed."

With a bang, the wall shook.

Princess Qinghe was surprised: "What's that sound?"

"Rat!" Lu Mingyang felt pain in his hand when he heard the sound.

Princess Qinghe was even more puzzled. "There are mice in your house?"

"Catching mice" Lu Mingyang looked out the window and made up a story: "I have a big fat cat, and it can't catch mice, so it's getting irritated!"

Princess Qinghe said "Oh" as if she understood something, and continued, "He not only saved me, but also helped us build the tent. I asked Xiaorou to give him a large bag of dry food. But before he could get far, the dry food was snatched away by the refugees, and he was even injured."

"I was very angry and asked the people in the mansion to take it back, but he said that the world is difficult and there is no need to be harsh."

"But when those refugees tried to snatch the porridge from the hands of the elderly, children, and women, he would stand in front of them and let them finish their meals in peace. Even dozens of strong men couldn't beat him."

"I was curious at the time, so I asked him, 'Didn't you say that the world is difficult and there's no need to be harsh?' But he said that when the world is difficult, we should help the weak and fight against the strong, so as not to let the way of heaven be lost."

"At that moment, a ray of light shone upon him, and I suddenly understood what a gentleman, as my father often called him, was like. He was just like that: upright, kind, and brave."

"Later, he begged me to take him in, saying that just giving him a meal would be enough. He really just wanted a meal. He never accepted the monthly salary I asked people to give him. Every day, he did nothing but chop wood, eat, sleep, and write on the ground."

"Writing?" Lu Mingyang interrupted. Her family still had several acres of land, and she couldn't even read. It was really strange that he, a refugee, could read.

"What's it about?" she asked.

"The ground was covered with names of people. I asked him who they were, but he never told me."

"The less he talked about it, the more curious I became, especially about his face, which was always covered with a black cloth. Once, I secretly took it off and was so scared that I started crying."

"When I went to the woodshed to look for him again, he had already left. He had taken nothing with him. But he had left a whole yard full of freshly chopped firewood, neatly arranged, taller than the courtyard wall."

"That's enough for three people for three days. I don't know how he managed it in one night without making any sound."

"When I found him again, he was burying an oriole that had been eaten by a vulture under a peach tree. He was always shrouded in a layer of sadness, as if it would dissipate at any moment along with the defeated and lost lives. But he was always gentle to others, especially to me."

"People in the mansion laughed at him and bullied him because he was ugly, but he never said anything. He just changed from working during the day to working at night."

"I made him a silver mask. He refused to accept it at first. It took a lot of persuasion to get him to accept it. It was also very difficult for me to see him smile."

"Sister-in-law, he looks so good when he smiles."

"Uh..." She didn't know what to say about anything else, but Lu Mingyang really couldn't compliment her on this one, so she just smiled politely.

"Really!" Princess Qinghe said proudly, "You think he's ugly, but you haven't seen his eyes. They're truly the azure sky, the Yellow Spring, and the vast galaxy."

How can I persuade someone who is so obsessed?

Lu Mingyang thought for a moment and asked, "But it seems to me that he doesn't want to marry you?"

Princess Qinghe shook her head. "That's because Brother Zhou feels that he has no fame or wealth, and is not worthy of me. It is precisely because of this that I cannot abandon him and leave him alone. Besides, I already have..."

"I got it!" Chu Mingzheng rushed in, his eyes wide with fear: "Chu Yueling, what do you have?"
