Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Cui Yun! I’ve lost my tail

Ji Ge spoke up to this point, then deeply gazed out of the window, maintaining a very tired posture, motionless.

Then, he let out a burp from the wine.

"Shen."

"From this angle, aren’t I exceptionally handsome!"

Shen Hua: "..."

He really must be going mad.

She turned her head to look at Yan Mi: "What kind of shock has he received?"

Being the daughter of an official family, Yan Mi knew a bit about the affairs of the Imperial Palace.

"The Emperor intends to give Princess Le Jia’s hand in marriage to the Seventh Prince. Although the decree is yet to be announced, it is almost certain."

Shen Hua: !

Shen Hua: !!

Shen Hua: !!!

Is it time to attend the banquet yet?

How tragic this is for Ji Ge.

So Emperor He is reluctant to marry Le Jia, and has finally noticed this inconspicuous son and decided to sow a vast grassland on his head?

She drank a whole cup of tea to calm her nerves; the tea was sweet and very tasty: "How could the envoy agree to this?"

Before Yan Mi could respond, steady footsteps came from outside the room, and Cui Yun, who received the news and came to find Ji Ge, stepped inside.

He was dressed in ordinary clothes, his gaze paused on no one as he looked around.

Cui Yun took his seat indifferently. Although he did not look at Shen Hua, he spoke to her.

"The customs of the two countries greatly differ; how could the envoy not know? The position offered is that of the official wife, no matter whether the Crown Prince ascends or the Fourth Prince, they will not meddle with the unambitious Ji Ge."

As long as Ji Ge avoids trouble, the alliance between the two nations will endure.

Not only will they leave him alone, but they must also actually treat him well.

And Emperor He, out of guilt, is drafting a decree to confer upon Ji Ge the title of Leisure Prince, and as compensation, is generously providing the long-vacant Prince Mansion.

The Ministry of Industry has already been ordered to start renovation works.

Cui Yun said calmly: "The auspicious hour is set, the marriage will be in three days."

Ji Ge silently shed two rows of tears.

Yesterday, when Emperor He summoned him to the palace, Ji Cong was present, and the envoy, including the porcelain doll-like Princess Le Jia, was also there.

Emperor He: "These are two of my sons who are yet to be married."

No sooner had the words been spoken, Ji Cong, pointing to Ji Ge who had just entered, had already made it a habit to shirk responsibility.

"Father, the Seventh Brother has wet the bed again!"

Ji Ge: Thank you so much.

He wasn’t foolish; he had a bad feeling the moment he saw the spectacle.

Ji Ge’s scalp tingled as he knelt down to pay respects, admitting without hesitation.

"Yes, your son is incompetent, always unable to control myself."

Ji Cong, smugly covering his nose: "Shameful. You’re already so grown up."

Ji Ge awkwardly: "Right right. I’m ashamed."

Emperor He’s face darkened.

The envoys looked from Ji Cong to Ji Ge. Clearly, one was a fool, and the other at least had a sound mind. Any sensible person would make a choice. After turning their heads to persuade Princess Le Jia for a moment, they paid a grand tribute to Emperor He.

"Emperor."

"The Seventh Prince truly is a rare gem among men."

Ji Ge: ?? Thank you, whole Turkic!

The bearded envoy, looking contented, gazed at Ji Ge: "We entrust the princess to the Seventh Prince then!"

Ji Ge struggled desperately: "But I am ill!"

The envoy was unconcerned: "Eh! It’s a trivial matter."

And so the matter was decided.

Hastily and ludicrously.

Ji Ge felt as though he had eaten shit. Unfortunately, he could not blame Le Jia, but accepting this was also difficult.

"Cui Yun, let’s have a toast."

Seeing Cui Yun remain indifferent, Ji Ge slammed the table in anger: "You don’t consider me a brother, do you!"

He began to dredge up old grievances: "Don’t forget, when you were dead drunk five years ago, it was I who, burying all past grudges, carried you back!"

Cui Yun remained indifferent upon hearing this.

"Is that so? But Ji Qing had already prepared the carriage early in the morning."

Ji Ge: "..."

Cui Yun lifted his eyes and glanced towards him.

"Thanks to the Seventh Prince, had it not been for your stumbling and dragging me into the lake that year. I wouldn’t have had my head wrapped in gauze for months."

Ji Ge’s momentum had diminished quite a bit.

"That time Ji Huo harbored a grudge over those two thin horses. It was me! I tirelessly spoke well of you by his ear every day."

Cui Yun leaned back: "Hmm, the Seventh Prince mentioned me in front of the Heir of Prince Gong every day, saying my knowledge was better than his, my appearance was better, and that I was superior in every way, which made the Heir of Prince Gong hate me even more."

Indeed, it was more about causing trouble than helping.

Ji Ge’s face turned red.

"I’m so miserable!"

"Looking all over Shengjing, there’s no one willing to drink with me!"

Shen Hua ate her food, occasionally taking sips of the sweet tea. Her bright eyes were calming as she spoke very tactfully.

"Don’t be too disheartened, think more about it being a problem with yourself."

If she were Cui Yun, she wouldn’t even bother with Ji Ge at all, let alone drink with him.

As expected, our benefactor truly is a noble gentleman who doesn’t hold grudges.

For a moment, Ji Ge felt the world wasn’t worth it.

He drowned his sorrows by burying his head in drink.

Cui Yun said nothing.

Shen Hua continued eating.

Yan Mi was restless, unable to sit still.

The room fell into complete silence.

It’s uncertain how much time passed.

Ji Ge: "Oh, I forgot to say, I spiked the tea with alcohol. None of you should drink it."

With a ’bang’, Ji Ge hit the table and completely passed out.

Only then did Yan Mi notice that Shen Hua’s face was unnaturally flushed.

The young lady sat up straight.

Yan Mi went to check the teapot.

It was empty.

"Cui Yun, did you guess this already?"

Shen Hua moved quietly towards him and looked up at him with her little face, speaking clearly without showing any signs of drunkenness, despite her red face.

Cui Yun picked up the empty teacup and gave it a light sniff. There was alcohol mixed in, but fortunately not much. He didn’t take it to heart.

"Since the incident at Canghua Building, he’s already been part of the scheme."

In this matter, Cui Yun obviously couldn’t make decisions for Ji Ge.

Shen Hua nodded thoughtfully.

After such an incident, Emperor He couldn’t possibly betray the son of a key minister, and those inconspicuous petty officials were too insignificant for the Turkic to care about.

So it could only be Ji Ge who was ensnared.

Actually, for Ji Ge, not being able to marry the girl he admired was one thing, but reaping some benefits was another matter.

With his status, he was destined not to marry the woman of his choice and had to follow the official’s arrangement.

But by marrying Princess Le Jia, even the Empress would have to be cautious and wouldn’t bother Ji Ge anymore.

Although Shen Hua knew such thoughts were ignoble, in the long run, Ji Ge would no longer be a Prince without any backing.

Shen Hua moved a bit closer to Cui Yun.

Just as she was about to say something else, she remembered something, and her body stiffened.

Anxiously, she glanced at the table, then bent over to scan the floor. Subsequently, she searched the area she had passed through on her way into the elegant room.

"I’ve lost something."

"It’s gone, can’t find it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Mi hurriedly stood up to help search: "What is it, is it important?"

"Very important. I’ll die without it."

As she spoke, she frantically went through Yan Mi’s sleeves.

After not finding anything there, she looked around and then marched over to Cui Yun, full of imposing anger.

Cui Yun narrowed his eyes, held back his temper, and did not dodge. When Shen Hua searched through Cui Yun’s sleeves, she could not resist touching his Vajra Bodhi Bracelet firmly.

The lustrous red gleam indicated it was top-grade.

After taking advantage of the situation, Shen Hua commanded imperiously: "You also go help me look!"

The man’s eyes were deep: "What did you lose?"

From Shen Hua’s throat came a little animal’s whimper.

"Cui Yun! Yangyang’s tail is gone!"
