Passion On Beauty Rather Than Power - C258
Thinking back to when Prince Zhan returned from the border area, he discovered that Nangong Waner was unconscious, and had become a living corpse. In addition to feeling immense grief, he also vented his anger on Ju Xiang and Liu Hong.
The Prince Zhan blamed Ju Xiang and Liu Hong for not attending to Nangong Waner properly, and even more so, blamed Ju Xiang and Liu Hong for helping him hide it from her through a letter every day.
By the time he was discovered, Nangong Waner had already been fast asleep for many days, and the Prince Zhan had already missed the chance to see Nangong Waner for the last time.
The Prince Zhan did not follow Nangong Waner’s instructions to treat Ju Xiang well. Instead, he gave them nothing and kicked them out of the Prince Zhan’s Mansion.
Liu Hong was different from Ju Xiang. Liu Hong had been a maid and a manager in the Prince Zhan’s Mansion for many years, hence he was very independent and strong. He had also secretly saved up some silver coins, which Liu Hong took to his private property and found a place to stay.
Ju Xiang had never experienced any kind of suffering with Nangong Waner, so after Ju Xiang was chased out of the palace, he fell into a hopeless situation and cried everyday as he sat at the door of the Duke’s Palace.
He wanted to bring Ju Xiang back to the Duke Palaces, but the Duke Palace’s butler shook his head, signalling Zi Ye not to do anything wrong to the Prince’s anger. If the Prince were to pursue this matter, he probably wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.
In the end, there would be a day when Ju Xiang sat at the entrance of the Duke’s Palace and cried. Zi Ye forced herself not to go over and help him, lowering her head and pretending to pass by.
“Child…” “Night …” Ju Xiang was at a loss on what to do. He raised his head and looked at Zi Ye, two clear lines of tears on his face.
Zi Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart.
“Stop crying, I’ll take you away.” Zi Ye didn’t say anything further and pulled Ju Xiang back to his own courtyard, “You can just hide in my courtyard, and occasionally, you can even secretly go visit your young miss.”
Zi Ye knew that Ju Xiang wasn’t completely helpless, but was just worried about him, and that was why he couldn’t leave Prince Zhan’s Mansion.
The steward of the palace tried to persuade Zi Ye several times. If the prince were to find out … We both have to go.
“Don’t worry butler, if the prince were to investigate this matter, Zi Ye will take full responsibility. He will not implicate the butler in any way.” Zi Ye’s attitude was firm.
Seeing that he could not persuade her, the butler shook his head and left. As he left, he even sighed deeply.
Ju Xiang stood in Zi Ye’s room, feeling helpless and helpless.
He didn’t know if he should stand or sit.
“Big brother Ziye, I was muddle-headed for a moment. After entering the palace with you, I can’t give you any trouble. If I implicate you again, if the prince finds out …” Let’s go. ” Ju Xiang lowered his head, both of his hands twisting his sleeves tightly. Zi Ye could see that Ju Xiang was embarrassed and was at a loss of what to do.
Zi Ye smiled lightly, “It’s fine. I still have to thank the prince for giving me this opportunity.”
“Wh …” “What?” Ju Xiang didn’t understand the meaning of Zi Ye’s words.
Zi Ye had already set his heart on Ju Xiang, but it was just that right now, Ju Xiang had nowhere to go and was living in his room. Zi Ye didn’t have the face to reveal his thoughts, afraid that he would force Ju Xiang to agree to his request.
Ju Xiang however, was a simple-minded person. Ever since her Elementary Scholar father had died, other than her young mistress, Zi Ye had been the person who treated her the best.
Ju Xiang looked at Zi Ye. Not only was he handsome, his bearing was also extraordinary. After all, he was the number one bodyguard following beside Prince Zhan.
Her young mistress had always taught her that if she wanted to succeed, she had to go crazy and rush forward when she closed her eyes.
That night, Ju Xiang waited for midnight to eat dinner.
During dinner, Ju Xiang helped himself to some wine, and gave Zi Ye quite a bit of wine.
“Elder Brother Ziye, do you have any relatives in your family?”
“No, I was picked up by the prince.”
“I originally relied on my Elementary Scholar father to survive. After my father passed away, I had no one to rely on anymore.”
Ju Xiang paused for a moment, then opened his mouth once again, “Brother Ziye, what kind of girl do you like?”
It was unknown whether it was because he had drank some wine and his mind was not clear, or because he had overthought things or because Ju Xiang was really digging a hole for him.
“I like it …” Zi Ye hesitated and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. The words that were usually used to ridiculing the prince all disappeared in an instant.
Ju Xiang was also only a little bit strong, and he managed to organize some words for himself. If Zi Ye continued speaking, Ju Xiang would not be able to proceed on, and he did not know how to continue.
Thus, Ju Xiang decided to ignore what Zi Ye had said, and continued speaking according to his own thoughts.
“Big brother Ziye, I feel that if you don’t have a partner to marry right now, why don’t you consider me?”
“Although I don’t know how to cook, I’ve learned quite a bit by following my young lady. I also do quite a bit of housework, and my greatest advantage is that I know how to read and write.”
Zi Ye was startled, was Ju Xiang proposing marriage to him?
Seeing that Zi Ye was not happy, and not happy, Ju Xiang did not nod his head in agreement.
Ju Xiang decided to carry it a bit to win Zi Ye’s favor.
Beat the drum, use the drum and use the soldiers. I will travel south alone. From the grandson Zhong, Pingwen and Song. No, I’m worried. Love? Love to lose one’s own horse? In order to obtain it? Under the forest. A life with death is a life with death. In the hands of a zealot, they would live with each other until the end of time. “If I don’t believe you, I will.
Zi Ye laughed on the inside. Ju Xiang was more interesting than he had thought. The reason why he recited this poem was because of the poem, “A marriage between life and death is too big, it’s better to speak of it with Zi Cheng”. Hands of obsession, let us live together until the end of time. ”
Ju Xiang looked at the faint smile on Zi Ye’s face, but did not say anything. Ju Xiang did not know what he could do, and started to speak as soon as he thought of something, “Brother Zi Ye, you gave me a lantern for the Spring Festival, and when I returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, I hung that lantern under the eaves of my room. The owner of the market said, ‘You gave me the lantern because you like me. Yes… “Is that so?”
Zi Ye paused for a moment, then suddenly said: “Ju Xiang, why don’t we get married tonight?”
“What?!” Ju Xiang blinked as he looked at Zi Ye, his brows knitted in confusion.
“Alright.” Ju Xiang immediately agreed.
Midnight laughed softly.
Ju Xiang thought that it was already a great fortune for him to be alone with no one to rely on and not fall into despair. He was liked by such a good person like Zi Ye, and he also happened to like her.
If the Miss was still alive, she would have followed her for the rest of her life, but the Miss …
But it didn’t matter, she always believed that the Miss would wake up sooner or later. If she married Zi Ye, she could really stay by her side for the rest of her life.
That night, Zi Ye pulled Ju Xiang and bowed to the heavens and earth, they were both people who had no one to rely on, and there wasn’t too much distance between them.
Ju Xiang felt that he was very happy.
The next day, he put on the woman’s bun and stayed in the small yard every night. When he was free, he would come to stay with her and tell her about the recent situation of her young mistress.
Ju Xiang felt that he had no other requests in this life.
