The Three Young Masters' Childhood Friends

  Zhuge Jingze was initially stunned, then dissuaded her, saying: "Your Highness, this is not proper, we can just stand."

  "What's wrong? This thing doesn't sound too short, aren't you tired of standing? Can it be that you like standing?"

  "Hmm, Ji Jingyu gave her a cold glance, 'A princess's consort shouldn't be on equal terms with the princess unless he is the princess's official husband.'"

  Cutting through conventions.

  "Alright, put that formality aside. I'm not asking you to be on equal terms with me, huh? Look, your chairs don't have the same style as mine. Sit down and help me judge this case!"

  The two handsome men looked at each other and sat down with different expressions.

  At dawn and dusk, he finally raised his eyebrows, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Jing Ze, do you know which one is the eldest daughter of the Wu family?"

  Zhuge Jingze's face was slightly awkward, as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself. Shuiyan looked at her in surprise and replied softly, "Princess, the eldest daughter of the Wu family is Wu Wanyu, the daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat of Xia Country."

  "Sighing in the morning and evening, 'This is not easy to handle, I seem to have forgotten many people and things. Wu Wanyu, I don't even remember her! Jingze, can you analyze it for me, why would she want to be unfavorable to me?'"

  Jing Ze let out a soft sigh, his clear voice laced with worry. "Your Highness, Wu Wan-Yu and you don't have any past conflicts, however, she is close friends with the Second Miss Yu Qin of the Chancellor's household."

  Yuqin again? The more you drag on, the more complicated it becomes!

  "Tell me clearly and concisely what's going on, don't make me ask one sentence at a time, I don't want to waste my time!" Morning and evening were both annoyed, their faces slightly sinking.

  "Yes, Yuqin and Junlian were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for the princess's arrival, they might already be a golden couple..."

  Childhood friends!

  It's another common yet touching phrase I heard in the morning and evening, which is "to turn love into hatred".

  Shui Yan's face turned pale as paper when she heard Zhuge Jingze's words, and in an instant, she realized that she had been used by others. She guessed that the second miss of the Chengxiang family also resented her because she had won the favor of Beidong Junlian, so they came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

  "The princess forgives the crime, but I should die. It's not right to be confused and feverish in front of the princess, causing trouble for her..."

  Morning and evening waved his hand to interrupt her, "You're not too stupid after all, it's good. I didn't blame you, cause and effect cycle, everything in the world has a cause before an effect!"

  After thinking for a moment, she looked at Zhuge Jingze with a smile and asked: "Jingze, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

  Zhuge Jingze was in a dilemma. If he said it lightly, the princess would not be pleased. If he said it heavily, Beidang Junlian would suffer. How could he say it just right?

  "How about letting him go?" Chen Xi held her chin with a bright and expectant gaze, seemingly eager to see Beidong Junlian being let go.

  Zhuge Jingze's face changed, "Your Highness, isn't this too severe? After all, he was betrothed by the Emperor of Xia Country. If you rashly divorce him, it may damage the relations between our two countries..."

  "You mean for the sake of friendship between our two countries, I have to put up with humiliation?"

  The voice was very calm, soft, and didn't have any anger, but it somehow gave people a suffocating feeling, as if the other person was bullying her, a weak woman.

  Zhuge Jingze got up and left the main seat, came to the hall below and knelt down on one knee, "Jingze requests that Your Highness change your mind and give Third Master another chance!"

  At dawn and dusk, looking at the serious courtesy of Zhuge Jingze, she smiled, "I remember that in the Female Respect Country, many husbands of the princesses' backyards would be jealous of each other. I didn't expect that here, they would help and care for each other instead. Good, good!"

  "Princess, I also beg of you to be lenient." Ji Jingyuan also went down on one knee like Zhuge Jingze and pleaded for mercy.

  Bei Tang Man Lian's small face turned bright red, she felt a bit suffocated. Why could the Princess Chi Yang be so arrogant as to say that she wanted to divorce her second brother? It would be better if they divorced, but why did they plead with them as if their second brother was going to die?

  Shui Yan also kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Princess, Shui Yan only hopes to live a peaceful and ordinary life from now on, and will never again get entangled with the third prince. Please don't blame him!"

  In the hall, apart from two maidservants, only Beidong Manling was standing there stupidly. Her emotions were truly complicated, wanting to speak but being pressed down by this heavy feeling that made her somewhat breathless.

  "How did you know Third Master didn't want to? Maybe he's eager for me to let him go!"

  Zhuge Jingze raised his eyes to look at her, and the deep pupils had a reassuring power. He said firmly: "Princess, freedom can be given at any time, but it's not in this situation!"

  Ji Jingyuan also nodded in agreement.

  In the morning and evening, he would lift his teacup and take a light sip, furrowing his brow. "Someone, come! The tea has gone cold, change it."

  The maid who was serving stepped forward quickly, efficiently adding hot tea and refilling Chen Xi's cup. "Princess, please."

  She took another sip and frowned again, "I don't like this flavor anymore, change it."

  The maid was somewhat nervous, "What flavor does the princess want?"

  "Let the young master choose then, if he brews tea that suits my mood, I'll grant their request just now."

  Zhuge Jingze calmly stood up and took the teapot from the maid's hand, saying respectfully: "Princess, I'll go make tea right away."

  "In the morning and evening, I watched his tall figure leave, and then looked at Ji Jingyuan, 'Jingyuan, you go investigate yesterday's assassination case, hoping you can get news as soon as possible to put my mind at ease.'"

  Ji Jingyu glanced at the two women beside her. Shuiyan seemed to understand the situation, but the other one still didn't seem to grasp the danger that was approaching.

  "Go ahead, if you need help just call out, isn't Xiao Bing quite idle? Call him along!"

  "Yes, Jingyuan obeys."

  When Princess Chi-Yang really put on airs, it had to be said that the six husbands were not dared to disobey anyone, and they could not afford the consequences of disobedience.

  The two maidservants looked at each other again in the morning and evening. "You watch at the door, I'm going to ask questions."

  "Yes, Princess." The two maids quickly retreated to the door, not wanting to hear what was coming next. From experience, they knew that the princess's upcoming anger would be difficult to bear.

  His heart was getting more and more tense, his forehead even started sweating.

  "Does the Second Miss of the Chancellor's household marry now?"

  "No, Yuqin sister has been waiting for my second brother! Who is a woman like you!" Beitang Manling said with a pout, feeling that the originally oppressive atmosphere had dissipated a bit.

  She heard the water smoke and her face turned even paler, she really didn't want to be implicated.

  "Water smoke, women are pregnant and need to take care of their bodies, you sit down, no one is allowed to kneel without my order."

  "Thank you, Princess." The water smoker looked at her with gratitude, rubbed his knees and sat up straight. She also discovered that although the princess was imposing, she wasn't as cruel and ruthless as the outside world had rumored.

  "Princess, the third young master has returned." The maid reported softly from outside the door.

  In the morning and evening, looking towards the entrance of the hall, two other women also looked over, but with different expressions.

  She took a closer look at Beidong Junlian, and couldn't help but say that this man was so handsome and elegant that it was criminal, with delicate features, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, his gaze shifting, shining with a fox-like glow, making her worry that she would accidentally fall into his trap.

  Such a man, at first glance, is absolutely the charming type, wanting him to be devoted is really not easy!

  "Your Highness has seen the princess." Beidong Junlian felt that the atmosphere was unusual as soon as he entered, and after being reminded by the maid at the door, he naturally understood that Chiyang Princess was angry. No matter for the country or family, he would not offend Gong Chenxiu at this time.
