Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 685 - 683

Chapter 685: 683

Upon hearing Shangguan Xuanyi’s words, Xiao’er touched her chin and said cheerfully, "Is it really sharper? I think it looks better when it’s sharp. I’ve always thought the baby fat on my face was too much!"

Indeed, girls transform when they become women! Her own face was getting more and more beautiful. Every day when she got up and looked in the mirror after dressing, she couldn’t take her eyes off her reflection!

Sigh! If this appearance were in modern times, she could totally become an international mega-star! A national goddess!

"Hmm? Have you been dieting?" Shangguan Xuanyi’s tone hinted danger.

This girl was always ecstatic every time her face got a bit thinner. Was she dieting to get a sharp chin?

"No! Absolutely not, I’m naturally pretty, no matter how much I eat, I can’t get fat! It’s said that girls undergo changes as they age. My face wants to become more and more beautiful. I can’t stop it, can I?"

Hearing Xiao’er’s remarks, Lin Miaoyan felt she had no shame! How could she utter such boastful words without any embarrassment? She guessed the Sixth Prince might find it off-putting!

Anyway, she did not like it.

When Shangguan Xuanyi heard this, he laughed: "You’re not afraid of getting tongue-tied talking like that!"

Who else would boast about themselves with such a thick skin?

Xiao’er glared at him: "What? Don’t you think I’m becoming more and more beautiful, Brother Shangguan?"

"Do you even know what shame is anymore?" Mrs. Liu couldn’t take it anymore, there were still so many others present!

"I’m speaking the truth! Why should I be shy? I indeed feel I’m getting prettier every day! Sometimes, I get lost in my reflection when looking in the mirror!"

No one’s ever been this narcissistic. Mrs. Liu shook her head, saying no more, this girl was really getting more and more carried away!

A warm smile filled Shangguan Xuanyi’s eyes, indulging her, "Indeed you are getting more and more beautiful, just too skinny though, perhaps a little bit plumper and you’d be incomparable."

Seeing Xiao’er becoming chubbier-- soft and warm, thinking about their future, Shangguan Xuanyi planned to feed her well before their wedding, making her plump as if to devour her in one bite.

Incomparable? Lin Miaoyan felt sour hearing Xiao’er praised so highly by the Sixth Prince.

Other than her fair appearance, such an unashamedly blunt character, how could she be considered incomparable?

No, actually being so shameless is indeed incomparable.

How could she be worthy of the brilliant Sixth Prince?

Perhaps because Lady Rui’an has become her love rival, Lin Miaoyan, who once thought well of Xiao’er, now sees Xiao’er’s many shortcomings.

"I thought I was already incomparable in your eyes, Brother Shangguan. So, I have to be a bit plumper first to become incomparable? Be honest! Who’s the one in your heart, the one and only, the incomparable?" Xiao’er feigned anger.

"You, three years ago, when you are chubby!" The smile in Shangguan Xuanyi’s eyes deepened.

This girl was rarely joking with him.

Chubby? Xiao’er felt a chill, when was she ever chubby! Just a few years ago, because she was young and hadn’t grown fully, her face was a little chubby! Baby fat, it can’t be considered chubby, right!

"Don’t slander me, when have I ever been chubby!"

"If you say you’re not, then you’re not." Shangguan Xuanyi seemingly accepted his defeat, but his expression told otherwise.

Choked by his words, Xiao’er declared, "I have always been a skinny beautiful girl!"

"Yes, yes, skinny beautiful girl, not chubby at all!" Shangguan Xuanyi decided to tease her, and thus deliberately conceded, shaking his head in apparent admission.

Xiao’er was angry!

Mrs. Liu, Jingrui and the others laughed at this.

The magistrate’s wife couldn’t help but feel moved: Lady Rui’an is indeed lucky, having the Sixth Prince so deeply in love with her.

Does the Sixth Prince like girls with this kind of personality? Lin Miaoyan watched their retreating backs, seeing the Sixth Prince in obvious good spirits, she fell into thought.

Upon entering the inn, the magistrate’s wife (henceforth referred to as Mrs. Lin) and Lin Miaoyan were led to other courtyards to rest.

Lin Miaoyan reluctantly glanced back at the tall figure cloaked in purple before withdrawing her gaze and walking towards the room allocated to her.

After entering the room, after Mrs. Lin ordered the maids to settle everything, she noticed that her daughter seemed distracted.

"What’s wrong, Yan’er? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Lin asked with concern.

Lin Miaoyan shook her head, but after some thought, she couldn’t help but ask, "Mother, what do you think about me becoming the Sixth Prince’s concubine?"

Her father’s official rank wasn’t high, the title of main wife seemed a bit beyond reach, but she was eligible to be a prince’s concubine.

Mrs. Lin was shocked by her words, she quickly dismissed the maids and old women out of the room, then angrily said:

"Are you crazy? Instead of being a rightful wife, why are you thinking about becoming a concubine!"

"Mother, don’t you think the Sixth Prince is great? Besides, how can a concubine be considered a mistress? A concubine can be inscribed on the royal jade certificate."

The Sixth Prince was as dazzling as the sun, she had only glanced at him, but already knew that no other man would catch her eye in this lifetime.

With such a brilliant man in front of her, how could she resign to marrying someone else?

"The Sixth Prince is good, but anyone with eyes can see that his heart and mind only have room for Lady Rui’an. Why do you bring humiliation upon yourself?"

What happiness could there be in marrying a man who doesn’t have you in his heart and mind?

"Mother, how can marrying the Sixth Prince be considered bringing humiliation upon myself? Mother, please help me, I like the Sixth Prince. I won’t marry anyone else but him!" Lin Miaoyan never thought she would fall in love with a man at first sight!

The other day she saw the eldest son of Marquis Shengping and thought he was pretty good, but only when she compared him with the Sixth Prince today did she understand the phrase ’pales in comparison’.

She wanted to marry him, even if it meant being a concubine, she was willing.

Her requests weren’t high, as long as she could stay by his side, and see him every day, that would be enough!

"Listen to your mother, it’s the most comfortable to marry a man who truly loves you. Marrying a man who doesn’t have you in his heart will make you regret it. Once we reach the Imperial Capital, you will see many more young talents and then you won’t think the Sixth Prince is anything special! Your mother will definitely pick a husband that you will be satisfied with." Mrs. Lin believed her daughter has been sheltered too well, she must not have seen any handsome young men. Thus, upon seeing one or two good-looking men, she thought she was in love! She didn’t take her words of "not marrying anyone but the prince" seriously.

"I don’t want anyone else. I want the Sixth Prince!" No matter how good other men are, they are not him!

"The Sixth Prince is not a good match. You were brought up in the palms of your father and mother, how could we bear to see you have a sad future? Listen to your mother, she won’t harm you." Mrs. Lin stroke Lin Miaoyan’s head.
