Chapter 225 Who would you choose?
"Xue'er, I've said what I needed to say. I hope you won't be so stubborn in the future. You're only sixteen, you have a long life ahead of you..."
"No, that's not it, Brother Ling, I only like you!"
Seeing that his handsome face remained unmoved, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Alright, Xue'er, calm down. I'll have Qingque escort you back to the palace later."
"You... Waaaaah~"
Seeing his resolute attitude, Yuan Huaixue felt her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe. Unable to face Xin Moling any longer, she lifted her skirt and turned to run away.
"Xue'er!"
"What's wrong? Xin Moling, why are you all shouting? Where's the princess?"
They only rushed over after they heard Yuan Huaixue wailing loudly.
"She ran away."
"You rejected her?"
Hua Buyu stepped forward, staring at Xin Moling with a gossipy gaze.
He nodded. "Yes, she's still young, and I should make things clear to her."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ With your blunt and uncompromising personality, who knows how much you might hurt her with your words!"
Xin Moling raised an eyebrow, walked to Shui Yi's side, and pulled her into his arms. "I only cherish Yi'er."
"Ah Ling~"
Shui Yi blushed and tried to push him away, but couldn't.
"Damn it! Can't you even consider how I, a single person, feel?"
"You should go find one too, but with your personality..."
Xin Moling didn't finish her sentence, but it was obvious what she was going to say.
"What's wrong with my personality? I have a great figure and I'm good-looking, why would I be afraid of not finding a man?"
"Ahem~ Alright, you're talking nonsense again. Don't corrupt Yi'er."
"No way!"
Shui Yi frowned slightly. "Ah Ling, isn't it dangerous for the princess to run away like this? Send someone to look for her!"
“Alright, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. I’ll have Qingque take her back to the palace.”
"Shuiyi, can't you be more concerned about her? You don't know, this little princess used to bully Yan Yan all the time!"
"Hua Buyu, if you say another word, I will have Hongluan throw you out."
"elder brother!"
Xin Moyan ran excitedly toward them, with Xie Cangming, dressed in white with white hair, following behind at a leisurely pace.
Upon seeing his younger sister, Xin Moling immediately looked annoyed. "Yan'er, I was in such a hurry to get back that I forgot you were also in the palace."
"Hehe~ I've been in and out of the palace for so long, it's fine. Besides, Uncle is here to protect Yan'er!"
"That's right, with me protecting Mo'er, who would dare to bully her?"
The three of them looked back at each other. Xin Moling's eyes were full of vigilance. She was neither surprised by his arrival nor particularly fond of him.
"What are you here for?"
"My Mo'er is about to become the Empress. As her uncle, I'm naturally getting closer to her because of this."
His face instantly darkened, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Xie Cangming, what nonsense are you spouting now? I will not let Yan'er become empress."
"Alright, alright, Xin Moling, stop shouting. If you ask me, since you don't want Yan Yan to be the empress, why don't you just have Yan Yan and Xuan Yuan get married right away and make it a fait accompli? Let's see what the Emperor Yuan can do then!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing Hua Buyu's suggestion, the four of them froze on the spot, completely at a loss for words...
"Cough cough cough~ Bu Yu, stop talking." Xin Moyan was the first to react, hurriedly pulling on Hua Buyu's clothes, her whole face burning.
"I was right! We're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so we might as well do it sooner rather than later. Don't worry about Xuan Yuan; he's the kind of man who's secretly passionate but actually very loyal!"
"Hehe~ He certainly won't let Mo'er marry His Majesty, but..."
Xie Cangming revealed a mysterious smile, instantly arousing Hua Buyu's intense curiosity.
"Just what?"
"However, Mo'er just had a fight with him and they're still having a disagreement. It might not be so easy for them to make up so quickly!"
"What? Yan Yan, you and Xuan Yuan had a fight? How could you two have a fight? Tell me quickly, and I'll help you analyze it."
Xin Moling was also somewhat puzzled. That guy didn't seem like the type to let Yan'er suffer any injustice!
Feeling embarrassed by the stares, she couldn't very well reveal in front of everyone that the reason for their argument was that His Majesty had forcibly kissed her and bit her lip, which was why Xuan Yuan was angry!
"Oh dear! I specially invited Uncle to Yunxianglou for dinner this time. Don't ask too many questions. Just one question: are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll take Uncle there myself."
"Go, go, go! Shuiyi, you haven't been to Yunxianglou yet, let us take you to try their food!"
"Ah."
After speaking, the three girls held hands and walked ahead.
Xie Cangming had a nonchalant smile on his lips, his left hand hidden in his wide sleeve, the middle three fingers slowly making divinations.
A moment later, he turned and asked with a smile, "Mo Ling, may I ask you a question?"
"Wha...what?"
Xin Moling was startled by his sudden address; he never addressed her so affectionately before.
"Hmm~ Between Mo'er and this Shuiyi girl, if you could only choose one, who would you choose?"
This strange question caused the three people in front to stop in their tracks and turn around to look at Xie Cangming in bewilderment.
"My esteemed advisor, what kind of question is this? It's like asking, 'If I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?' This girlfriend and sister are on completely different levels, okay?"
Hua Buyu was speechless at this moment. She thought that the Grand Preceptor looked like a normal person, but she didn't expect him to be so abnormal.
Xin Moling pursed her lips, seemingly surprised that he would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, she then stated in a very domineering manner.
"I will not choose either of them. Yan'er and Yi'er must be by my side, and only by my side."
"Hehe~ I was just asking casually, you don't have to take it so seriously. Let's go! Let's go eat!"
Xin Moyan also found it a bit strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, Uncle Xie knew too much, which was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Shuiyi, Yunxianglou is famous for its chicken soup, which Yan Yan loves. I'll order two servings later, and you must try it."
"Okay! Yan'er, what happened to your mouth?"
"Sister Yi'er, I... I spoke too fast and accidentally bit it."
"Really? Yan Yan, you're not lying!"
"Why would I lie? By the way, Buyu, let's invite Zhaoyao over for dinner!"
“No! That kid isn’t familiar with them at all. It’s not good for a general and national advisor to have close ties with foreign countries.”
"Hua Buyu, this time your brain can actually think outside the box?"
