The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Mu Ru Yue felt a pain in her hand. She raised her head and saw a gloomy expression on her normally beautiful face. The unconcealable killing intent and tyrannical aura from her body made it hard for Mu Ru Yue to breathe.

"Phoenix Seep." Mu Ru Yue whispered.

"I'm fine. There will always be a King of Japan who wants those people to … " Feng Chen did not finish his words. Another voice interrupted him. "Ah! How did this Linglong Palace become like this? I thought that I could let this young lady see the elegance of Princess Thousandleaf's residence back then, but it seems like it won't work now. "

The one who spoke was the Fifth Prince, who desired to stir up trouble. When he walked in and saw Mu Ru Yue and Feng Zi standing at the entrance, he smiled and asked, "Seventh brother, are you able to endure this?"

Feng Chen took a deep breath and looked at him. Without saying a word, she pulled Mu Ru Yue along, found a table, and sat down. It was as if nothing had happened. The Fifth Prince did not expect that Feng Chen would have such patience. He only felt incredulous.

"Prince, are you provoking the Seventh Prince on purpose?" The woman next to the Fifth Prince spoke up.

"Why does Zi Yuan say that?" This king was only speaking the truth. If it were anyone else, even the palace left behind by his mother would be ruined beyond recognition and they would all be angry. What's more, this person is actually the Phoenix Seep who has always been brutal? " The Fifth Prince said with a faint smile.

"Prince's words are reasonable, but from the perspective of the Violet Garden, since the wood has already been formed, there is no need to care about it anymore." The woman's attitude remained the same, as if none of these things could affect her heart. When the Fifth Prince heard this, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes.

However, she indistinctly whispered into her ear, "Since that's the case, the matter of the crown prince choosing a wife has already been settled. It would be better for the Violet Garden to consider this prince. How about it?"

"You?" Nangong Zi Yuan looked at the Fifth Prince with disdain. Among all the princes, the Fifth Prince was the one that was the least obvious. The crown prince's status was honorable, and he'd been nurtured wholeheartedly by His Majesty. Third Marquis' personality was very similar to that of His Majesty's. In recent years, he'd been regarded with even more importance by His Majesty than the crown prince. The fourth prince had no heart for politics. He was intoxicated with the martial arts world and had long eliminated this power that was competing for the throne. The Sixth Prince stood behind him. He was being led by the Nalan Clan, one of the eight great clans.

Seventh Prince was like a god with his weapons. It was none other than the victorious general of the battlefield. Although he had killed far too many people, no one dared to provoke him. It was only the Fifth Prince who did not reveal everything. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was just waiting to die. She, Nangong Zi Yuan, was the direct descendant of the Nangong family. Why did she marry such a man?

"Don't refuse me so quickly, Violet Garden. Although this duke knows that I'm not compatible with you, you should know that you have no other choice. The crown prince had chosen Murong Xi, who was the most unlikely candidate, and sixth brother was sure to marry Nalan Ruolan off to his family for the sake of Nalan Yanran's reputation. Otherwise, no one would want to see the daughter of the Nalan Clan go home dejectedly after she failed to become the Crown Prince's consort.

Zi Yuan, you are too proud and arrogant. I believe that you won't get into any more trouble with your sixth brother and end up becoming his secondary wife, right? "

The Fifth Prince's voice was very soft. As the two of them drew closer, they seemed to be very close. At this moment, there were quite a few people in the Linglong Palace. Those who occasionally noticed that something was amiss between the two, all had dubious expressions.

However, even though this was the case, Nangong Zi Yuan did not try to avoid him. Instead, the words of the Fifth Prince caused her heart to grow cold. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true.

"Of course I won't be small, the Nangong family cannot afford to lose others, I … "I'm not willing either." Nangong Zi Yuan's attitude was decisive. When the Fifth Prince heard this, he chuckled and blew next to her ear, "Third brother has always been the most unpredictable. Moreover, his wife has long since been decided upon. Zhennan Wang's direct daughter, does Zi Yuan think he will keep you?

To ordinary women, today's selection is just a gamble, but to all of you, it is a choice. After today, the phoenix hairpin in your hand, will let you fulfill your responsibilities. And you, among the children of the royal family, have no other choice. "

"Is the Fifth Prince thinking too highly of himself and looking down on our Nangong Zi Yuan? So what if he was mocked? At most, I won't marry. " Nangong Zi Yuan gritted her teeth and said. His attitude was still as arrogant as before amongst the eight great clans.

What the Fifth Prince loathed the most was the attitude of the girls from the eight clans, who thought themselves to be more noble than others. However, he didn't show it on the surface and only smiled.

You know... This King likes you very much. If you marry This King, you will naturally not suffer any losses. What's more … Then can you really watch helplessly as Nalan Rulan becomes the Sixth Princess and no one else marries her? "

Fifth Prince's words were like the last straw that pressed down on Nangong Zi Yuan.

The eight great clans were all in the same boat, but in truth, the women and the successors of these clans were all competing with each other. No one wanted to be worse than anyone else. Nalan Ruo was the most outstanding girl in the Nalan Clan. Nangong Zi Yuan naturally did not want to be worse off than her.

Thinking of this, Nangong Zi Yuan's expression turned slightly ugly. She glared at the Fifth Prince. "What are you planning to do?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that if I have to marry the crown prince, shouldn't I also marry an imperial concubine? This way, we can only look at the love each other has in the future. " The Fifth Prince's attitude was extremely casual. However, Nangong Zi Yuan was unable to remain calm.

Everything was as the Fifth Prince had said.

To ordinary women, today's consort selection banquet was merely a gamble of defeat. In fact, if she were to leave, she might even be able to boast about this matter. However, to her, Nangong Zi Yuan, it would be a humiliation. She also seemed to have no other choice.

Moreover, the Fifth Prince's personality and others' description seemed to be completely different. What this person was scheming in his heart wasn't just to be at ease. Thinking like this, Nangong Zi Yuan looked at the Fifth Prince. He tightly gripped the phoenix hairpin under his sleeve.

With a voice three times softer than before, he said, "Your Highness, what do you think the Violet Garden should do?"

"This King hopes that Lady Violet Garden understands." The Fifth Prince said as he grabbed her hand that was holding the golden hairpin. In his fox eyes, there was a kind of gentleness that could bore a person to death. He grabbed the girl's hand and gently opened it, taking out the phoenix hairpin. On the woman's palm was a blood-colored imprint.

"Why are you making things difficult for yourself?"

The man's voice was so gentle that it was intoxicating. Nangong Zi Yuan had never seen the Fifth Prince like him before. Although she knew in her heart that this was only the Fifth Prince's plan to lure her into taking the bait, she still couldn't help but indulge in the battle.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Zi Yuan will think about it carefully." Believe... I won't disappoint you. " After Nangong Zi Yuan finished saying those words, she took the golden hairpin and walked into the palace hall with light steps. She then sat down next to the person that was considered to be a good person before her.

They chatted and laughed, as if nothing had happened.

The corners of the Fifth Prince's lips curled up as he walked into the Linglong Palace. He chose a spot opposite of Nangong Zi Yuan and sat down. His gaze fell on the girl as if he cared deeply about her.

He even raised his glass towards Feng Chen who was standing to the side. That look on his face really made everyone angry.

"Don't worry about him." Feng Zhi's attitude was cold. Mu Ru Yue ignored his words. If you were to get angry with someone like the Fifth Prince, you might just die from anger. The more you ignore him, the more he will feel bored and stop provoking you in the end.

As Mu Ru Yue thought this, she drank her wine and went to eat her pastries. That attitude, it couldn't be said to be very comfortable. Very quickly, everyone sat down within Linglong Palace. But at this time, the sound of silk bamboo resounded, followed by the sound of a zither.

The melody of the zither was crisp and full of charm. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly sigh in amazement at the pleasant sound of this zither.
