Game of Humans

  Crossing into the Wangfei's Reincarnation: The Game of Human Life

  Wu Mingyuan's threat was told to Hong Kun by Qi Ze that night, and Hong Kun called Xiao Zongrong to the front hall on the second day. Xiang Lan was blocked at the door by Zhou Ze, but this time Xiang Lan didn't insist much and just guarded outside.

  Xiao Congrong was slightly surprised and thought for a moment. This Xiang Lan is not impossible to conquer! As long as there's some leeway, it's fine. What I'm afraid of is that she's like an iron plate, leaving no room for me to make a move.

  He went in and found Hong Kun busy with military affairs, so he asked her to sit down for a moment before talking to her. Xiao Zongrong sat down on one side and waited, while Hong Kun hastily finished his work and came over to sit beside her, smiling: "Did the Third Prince threaten you?"

  Xiao Yu's expression was calm and helpless as he shook his head: "Does Master know?"

  Hong Kun nodded: "Qi Ze has told me all about it! What you said is right, once the divorce papers are written, men and women will be married and have nothing to do with each other. Even if he is a prince, he can't do anything to you! If this matter is brought up to the Emperor, your adoptive father will also stand up for you!"

  "Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Congrong thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, I still don't want to rush into marriage. I'd like to leave the capital with you first and talk about this later."

  Hong Kun shook his head and said, "No way, Rong Er, it's not that your adoptive father wants to make things difficult for you. He has already thought this through! If you don't want to marry the Third Prince again, then take advantage of this opportunity to get married quickly. Only then will he give up. Otherwise, do you think he'll keep pestering you?"

  Xiao Congrong listened calmly, and indeed, Wu Mingyuan wouldn't give up for a day, he wouldn't die of heartbreak now that Hong Jun was her backing, he still wouldn't dare to openly snatch her away, but if Hong Jun left, who would restrain him?

  Only when she gets married and becomes someone else's wife will he let go of this idea, and only then will the entanglement between them be severed.

  "Father, I'll listen to you and get married. But can I choose my own husband?" Xiao Zongrong's face turned slightly red, as in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, was she being too bold? However, the previous Xiao Zongrong had dared to refuse marriage to Wu Mingyuan for her own preferences, so it wasn't too unexpected that she would say this.

  Hong Kun laughed and said: "Of course, your future husband is the one you'll be spending your life with. If you don't like him, it won't work out. Your father just gives his stamp of approval, but ultimately it's up to you to choose!"

  "Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Congrong was overjoyed. This way, as long as Chu Qingkuang solved his own problem, she would have no objections to him being her uncle either!

  Hong Kun smiled and said: "Rong Er is so happy, has she already chosen someone in her heart? Tell me and let your adoptive father help you weigh it out?"

  Xiao Congrong's face turned red, and she lightly bit her lower lip, shaking her head and saying: "No way, Father is just thinking nonsense!"

  Hong Kun laughed and said: "If Rong'er is not suitable, I'll help you recommend a few more, okay?"

  Xiao Congrong's heart moved slightly, and he asked: "Uncle, is there a suitable candidate? Who is it? Does Rong'er know him?"

  Hong Kun nodded and said: "Father has indeed several suitable candidates, Rong'er all know, Father tell you, think about who is more suitable for you!"

  "Uncle, please speak!" Xiao looked at Hong Kun with a serious face and became tense himself, as if something important was about to happen.

  "Rong Er, who wrote that decree of yours that was destined to have no successor? Do you know?" Hong Kun asked.

  Xiao Congrong shook her head vaguely, she was not Xiao Congrong in the first place, how would she know!

  Hong Kun sighed and said, "It's just Master Fa Zheng, the master who recited the sutra of transcendence during the funeral! You may not know that he is a famous monk in the Great Buddha Temple. It is said that his writings are almost always correct, rarely making mistakes..."

  Xiao Congrong's mind turned and he understood, asking bitterly: "Then what does Father mean... I really can't have any descendants?"

  A woman who can't give birth, there are many ways in modern times, but in ancient times... uh, isn't it like those old ladies in the countryside scolding people? Even a hen will lay eggs, she's not even as good as a chicken.

  Does she have children or not, she doesn't care, but how does her husband look at her? Does Chu Qingkong also not care about her like that?

  Hong Kun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "This master has already spoken, can't be fully trusted, who knows if you will be that special one in Master Fa Zheng's note! But also can't not believe, this contradiction..."

  Xiao Congrong lost her smile: "Uncle, do you have any plans? But it's okay to say, I won't think wildly!"

  Hong Kun smiled wryly, looked at her and said: "You child, still as clever as when you were young, your adoptive father can't deceive you! Hmm... it's like this! Yesterday after the wine ceremony, the second prince came to see your adoptive father to propose a marriage, saying he is willing to marry you as his princess, even if you are barren, he already has two children, and in the future if there are more children they can take the surname Xiao, he doesn't mind!"

  "Is that the second prince, Wu Ming Zheng?" Xiang's eyes flashed with a face similar to her ex-boyfriend Xu Zheng, and she fell silent. Is he also here to join in on the excitement? Does he really have an interest in her, or is it because of Hong Kun's face?

  "Uncle thought for a moment, the second prince is still very suitable for you, if you marry him, you will be the proper princess, no one will dare to bully you even if there are no children! The third prince won't bother you again either, and uncle can also rest assured!"

  Hong Kun smiled and looked at her: "Uncle said these are not to interfere with you, you can consider it!"

  "Hmm, is there any other choice?" Xiao Zong felt that as long as there was another option, she would not choose Wu Mingzheng, not because she didn't want to be a stepmother to someone, but because she really didn't want to face that face that looked so much like Xu Zheng's!

  "This... the fourth prince is a sickly one, who knows how long he'll live? Your adoptive father doesn't recommend choosing him! The fifth prince... humph, yesterday he actually brought a courtesan here, a man like this can't be trusted no matter how good he sounds. The young master of the Huang family seems okay, but it's unknown if he has the guts to compete with the third prince..."

  Hong Kun commented one by one, but didn't mention Chu Qingkuang. After Xue Congrong's disappointment, he remembered that the ancients looked down on merchants, thinking they were cunning and deceitful, and that those who couldn't make a living by reading books went to learn how to run a small business! It was normal for Hong Kun, a famous general, to look down on Chu Qingkuang, who ran a wine shop.

  Some discontented, Xiao Zongrong tentatively asked: "Father, that Chu boss is very kind and even gave Rong'er a night pearl. What do you think of him?"

  "Chu Laoban?" Hong Kun's eyes widened in confusion, and after a moment, he remembered who Chu Qingcang was. He furrowed his brow and said: "A merchant, not our kind, and I don't know much about his family background. Who knows what kind of people he associates with, traveling all over the place? If he's from a notorious or thieving background, it would tarnish your reputation! This kind of person, you shouldn't even consider marrying him, let alone keep a distance from him in daily life, lest you get into unnecessary trouble!"

  Xiao Congrong felt a strong dislike for these words, and was just about to argue with reason when Qi Zhe came in to report that the eunuchs from the palace had arrived with an imperial edict, ordering Hong Kun to enter the palace immediately to pay his respects.

  Hong Kun hastily changed into his court attire and left, while Xiao Zong Rong reluctantly returned to his own small courtyard with a sense of discontent.

  Underground palace.

  Chu Yun An glared at Chu Qing Kuang who was standing below the hall, his face unkind, and his cold voice echoed throughout the grand hall: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

  Chu Qingkong gazed calmly at him and said, "I say, I want to marry Xiao Congrong, not as the Fourth Prince, but as Chu Qingkong, the owner of Zui Xiang Lou. I hope my adoptive father will fulfill this wish!"

  "Bang!" The teacup by Chu Yun'an's side flew up and directly hit Chu Qingkuang's head, but he dodged it and the teacup shattered on the ground.

  Chu Qingkong nodded his hand and said lightly, "Uncle, don't be angry! Whether I am the fourth prince or not is of no consequence to me as long as Fourth Brother is doing it. I promised Uncle that even if I'm not the fourth prince, I will still do what I should do and assist Fourth Brother in doing his job well. Just grant my wish for me and Rong'er to be together!"

  "You... are so stubborn and obstinate, beyond all help!"

  Chu Yun An sneered, "For the sake of a woman, you're giving up being the fourth prince? You still have the face to tell me that you'll assist your brother in doing what he's supposed to do? Do you want me to help you two achieve your goals, but who will help Water Pei achieve hers? Who will help us achieve ours? All these years, everything we've done for you, is it all just for the sake of that woman? You're not even going to try anymore, what was the point of our efforts all these years, and for whom?"

  Chu Qing's eyes drooped, and he forced out: "I never thought of becoming the emperor!"

  As soon as this was said, the hall fell silent, as if even breathing had stopped. Chu Yun An gazed at Chu Qing Cang with a gloomy and sinister expression, his eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent, which transformed into a soft laugh after a brief moment: "You never thought of becoming the Emperor? Then why did you agree to come back and become the Fourth Prince? Do you think we're doing all this just to fulfill your 'filial piety'? Just to see that father of yours whom you've never met?"

  Chu Qing's words were stuck in his throat, he didn't want to admit to Chu Yun An that deep down he wasn't willing to give up!

  How can he admit that only by becoming the fourth prince can he see him! Only then will he have the opportunity to see what's so special about the man his mother was obsessed with until her death!

  How could he admit that when he first agreed to be the fourth prince, it was just a fleeting sense of vanity, and as a member of the royal family, he wanted to experience what it's like to have that noble bloodline!

  How could he admit that all he got was disappointment and regret! It turned out that there must be gains and losses, and while he gained imperial power, he also lost his freedom!

  If I hadn't met Xiao Cong Rong, all of this could have been just a game in human life!

  But when he met her, the only woman who has made his heart move so far, he let go... Can he meet another one like her again?

  Missing her, even if he wears the imperial robe in the future, with three palaces and six courts, can it fill up this little regret in his heart?
