Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

144. The Emperor Wants to Choose Consort

Translator: 舒逯侠女

Zhao Zheng was now the crown princess of Turk, so she was acting very rampantly. No one dared to do anything to her, so every day, Ashina Fei would receive reports about how aggrieved Luo Yun felt as she was bullied but couldn’t avenge herself.  Even though Zhao Zheng had a beautiful appearance, and he had some deals with her, Ashina Fei still felt annoyed.

In order to get the help from Ashina Fei, Zhao Zheng had to take the risk to write to the Zhao Family. Naturally, the letter was taken by the hidden guards and handed it to Luo Yi through Ada.

Reading the letter, Du Chuxuan felt a little sore on his face, he said. “This Zhao Zheng is stupid or what? She is throwing her sister to the wolves!”

Yuxing Tianrui curled his lips disdainfully with a hint of ridicule in his eyes. He replied, “But this is certainly the best solution for now.”

‘If the Zhao Family’s plan really goes through, then one of the two sisters in the Zhao Family will influence the Han emperor with her pillow talks, while the other one will gain influence on Ashina Fei’s side. Both countries will be in the hands of the Zhao Family. This time, the Zhao family reveals the ambition which is too big for them to control.’

Du Chuxuan leaned back lazily and turned his head to look at Yuxing Tianrui. He said, “Speaking of which, this consort selection is somehow related to you. You sure you don’t want to go back and check it out?”

“Do you want me to go back?” Yuxing Tianrui only caught the last sentence. His face immediately darkened. Seeing this, Du Chuxuan quickly sat up straight and explained, “Oh my precious, you are already too much for me. Plus, you can’t marry a man, can you?”

Hearing Du Chuxuan’s joke, Yuxing Tianrui finally relaxed a little. He threw the letter aside, and Luo Yi caught the letter. Soon the letter was swallowed in the flames.

“This time, whether you agree or not, someone is joining the East Palace.” Yuxing Tianrui faced up and sighed helplessly with his hands behind his back. Looking at him like this, Du Chuxuan jumped down from the stone and rubbed Yuxing Tianrui’s soft hair from behind.

“You’re not suitable for such sad words. Besides, whether that person comes or not, you will be the one who is going to have a wife. I’m not even worried about that, what are you whining for?”

Even though Du Chuxuan said so, he still held Yuxing Tianrui in his arms. He said, “I can’t help you too much outside, but you can leave all things in the East Palace to me.”

He took a deep breath and said jokingly, “After all, your royal family is still in need of our Du family’s money. As long as we are rich, I could make sure your position is secure.”

Yuxing Tianrui couldn’t help but raise his head in Du Chuxuan’s arms. Their heights were not too different. Even though Du Chuxuan was half a head taller than him, under the help of terrain, he could now see Du Chuxuan’s chin when he looked up. He subconsciously reached out and touched Du’s face.

As soon as Du Chuxuan lowered his head, he saw Yuxing’s bright eyes. Then he said, “It feels so good. It’s something like you are sold to me, and even though you want to leave, you can’t.”

In the sunset, the two of them hugged each other. They gave their backs to their most trusted ones completely as they were watching the sun slowly set. That was a breathe-taking scene to see.

“Have you heard of it?” Recently, the Wulin Assembly had reached its heating point. A few days ago, a teenager suddenly appeared, claiming to be the head of Sect Luo.” Somebody said.

“Sect Luo?” I often get updated about the news happened in Jianghu. Since when there is a sect called Sect Luo? “Another person said in confusion, “Quit joking around! Be careful! You might get beaten up by saying stuff like that.”

The one who spoke before suddenly got mad, he yelled, “What did you just say? I told you, you are outdated. This Sect Luo is a reclusive sect, and it is even more powerful then the top three sects.”

“Hey, that’s something! Since that young man is the head of the sect, I think that this time he is also here to compete for the head of Wulin. So how did he do?What is his final result?” Another person also moved closer with interest.

“Let me tell you, this young man’s strength is amazing. He defeated two disciples from the top three sects consecutively. One of the disciples even used the secret medicines, which boosted his strength dramatically. But still he was skilled on the arena.”

Listening to this, everyone around him became interested. They requested him to describe the game in detail.

Du Chuxuan frowned slightly. Of course, he and Yuxing Tianrui sat in the private room upstairs. They couldn’t return to the place where they lived before, but Du family had more than one inn. Some even became the property of Du family privately without being noticed by the government.

“How did this story become so strange?” It wasn’t that he didn’t like these tales. It was just too dangerous to say so, as it would make enemies for Sect Luo. ‘Since when can I defeat everybody in this world? If I am that capable, I would have killed all the people my jealous baby hates.’ Du Chuxuan thought.

Yuxing Tianrui did not care too much. People usually did not have anything to do. They didn’t even care if the tales were true or not, they just needed to pass time. The more bizarre things were, the more they loved to hear.

“This Lord Luo is not only skillful in martial arts, he also has a weird hobby.” Upon hearing this, even Du Chuxuan could not help but prick his ears to listen, let alone the audience. ‘Since when do I have a weird hobby? Maybe wearing woman’s clothes?’

“What?! What is it? Don’t keep us guessing, hurry up and tell us! “Someone urged.

The story teller wanted to keep them in suspense as the story had just came to the climax. He said, “Why are you in such a hurry? The stuff I told you is a secret. So now, all of you come closer. Don’t let other people hear our conversation, otherwise, be aware of the revenge.

As soon as he said so, everyone around him surrounded him. “Lord Luo is a homosexual. There is a good-looking young man beside him. He is as what that book described, beautiful enough to cause the fall of a state at a glance.”

Pfft-

Du Chuxuan couldn’t hold it in and spat out a mouthful of tea. Although Luo Yi was still calm, the fat on Luo Er’s face was shaking wildly.

Yuxing Tianrui turned to look at him. “My beloved consort, do you think my beauty does not match with their description?”

There was murderous intent! Du Chuxuan rushed to the sit straight and looked at Yuxing Tianrui seriously. “You are kidding, Your Highness. I only think their words didn’t even describe one thousandth of your beauty.”
