The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 684: Cute and Stupid

There was a flash of coldness in Murong Yu's eyes for a moment, but it only lasted for a blink of an eye before returning to normal.

He picked up the glass in front of him again, tilted his head slightly, and spoke in a curious tone.

"Then I would like to ask, why did the Fifth Princess want to choose me even more after knowing everything? You should understand that although I led the Xilin envoys to Beiyang and seemed to be valued by my father, the position of crown prince was out of my reach from the beginning. In the future, my princess may be implicated and be ridiculed behind the scenes. The Fifth Princess should understand this."

Although he was the ninth prince, he was too special in the imperial palace. This special status meant that no matter how well he did things, his father would never fully trust him.

Be it the crown prince position or those important positions of power, it is impossible for them to fall on his head.

Therefore, although he was old enough to get married, many women in Xilin Imperial City wanted to marry him because of his appearance. However, those noble ladies from powerful families avoided him because of his background.

Xiao Yue is a princess after all, and has lived in the palace since childhood. Since she already knows her origin and past clearly, it is impossible for her not to understand this.

"I understand, but I don't care." Facing Murong Yu's gaze, Xiao Yue's tone was unusually firm, "Murong Yu, background has never meant anything, not to mention that everything that happened back then was not your fault at all, you don't need to feel ashamed of it. And I believe that with your ability, if you can add Beiyang's help, you may not be unable to fight for the position of crown prince."

After all, they were in Huayue Tower, so Xiao Yue still took others into consideration and lowered her voice slightly, but the passion in her tone was not affected.

It makes people feel as if as long as they are willing to work hard and try, a bright future will be just around the corner.

Murong Yu's hand holding the wine glass hovered in the air, staring at Xiao Yue intently. The next moment, he suddenly laughed out loud.

From the uncontrollable soft laughter at the beginning to the loud laughter later, Murong Yu's voice was trembling, and even some of the wine in the glass in his hand spilled onto the table.

This look was really inappropriate, but Murong Yu's expression was too exaggerated. Even though he smiled like this, it didn't look ugly at all. Instead, it made people unable to take their eyes away.

After laughing for a long time, Murong Yu finally calmed down a little. Meeting Xiao Yue's puzzled gaze, he shook his head and sighed, "Princess, princess, you are so naive!"

Xiao Yue didn't expect the other party to react like this. She frowned and said, "Ninth Prince, what I just said..."

Murong Yu raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Yue's words, "Fifth Princess, you don't think that just a few words of encouragement in front of this prince will make me determined to fight for the position of crown prince, right?"

"I didn't, I just wanted to tell the truth, and..."

"And what basis did the Fifth Princess have to say just now, that marrying you means getting help from Beiyang?" Murong Yu took over Xiao Yue's words, his charming eyes revealing clear sarcasm and amusement, "Fifth Princess, you think too highly of yourself."

The relationship between the two countries is not that simple. Not to mention a princess choosing to stand on one's side, even a prince may not be able to influence the decision of a country.

What's more, the relationship between Beiyang and Xilin is delicate. If Beiyang is really involved in the matter of Xilin's successor, then in the end not only will he not be able to become the crown prince, but he may even lose his life.

What Xiao Yue said was so stupid that it was cute.

Xiao Yue originally thought that even if her words could not completely persuade Murong Yu, they would at least be closer to the other party. However, she did not expect that it would lead to such ridicule, and her face suddenly turned red.

But she still didn't want to give up and looked at Murong Yu stubbornly.

"Ninth Prince, how can you know many things if you don't try them out? And no matter how useless I am, I am still the princess of Beiyang. It is better to have more friends and helpers than more enemies."

"That's true." Murong Yu stopped laughing and looked at Xiao Yue seriously with his eyes slightly curved. "It seems that the princess really doesn't want to marry my father."

"Of course!"

Especially after hearing about Murong Yu's life experience, she became even more disgusted with the Emperor of Xilin.

Murong Yu thought for a moment, "Actually, if the princess doesn't want to marry my father, there are some solutions, but..."

"Just what?" Xiao Yue asked immediately.

"It's just that the bargaining chip that the princess just gave is too big and too illusory, so this prince really can't accept it. But if you can do something for this prince, perhaps I can help you negotiate and save you from marrying my father." Murong Yu regained his previous smile, and his handsome and enchanting face showed certainty.

This look seemed to be telling Xiao Yue that it was not difficult for him to disrupt the marriage, the key was just whether he wanted to do it or not.

Xiao Yue's eyes lit up and she asked, "What's the matter?"

Murong Yu did not speak immediately, but instead looked at the wine spilled in front of him. He dipped his slender fingers in the wine and wrote an address on the table.

"If the princess really wants to change the marriage, I will be waiting for you here at the beginning of the night."

Xiao Yue carefully read the words on the table and memorized them, but still asked, "Why do you have to do it tonight? It's not easy for this princess to leave the palace. Ninth Prince, why don't you make it clear now?"

"There are many people here, and the marriage is a serious matter. If someone hears about it, it will inevitably cause trouble. I think the princess probably doesn't want the news to leak out and be used against her."

Murong Yu smiled and reached out to wipe the words on the table, then continued speaking calmly.

"Of course, if the princess can't even leave the palace tonight, then I have to doubt whether you can do that for me. In this case, there is naturally no need for our cooperation to continue."

"So the meeting tonight at midnight is a test from the Ninth Prince?"

Murong Yu nodded, "Princess, you may think so."

"Okay, then see you at midnight." Xiao Yue said firmly.

"See you later." Murong Yu leaned back in his chair, and when Xiao Yue turned to leave, he suddenly said, "Fifth Princess."

"Anything else?" Xiao Yue stopped.

Murong Yu smiled with a slightly cold look in his eyes, "Although what the Fifth Princess said just now was naive, there is one thing that this prince agrees with."
