Chapter 1 The Beginning
Leng Ruo Li had no mood to watch the two people fighting fiercely outside the door. After dragging the corpses in the room outside, she shouted at the two figures hovering in mid-air, "When you two are done fighting, remember to clean up the corpses in my yard!"
Immediately after, she closed the room door and returned to her system space to conduct research.
Lately, her surroundings had been turbulent, and she needed to research more defensive powders to be prepared for any eventuality.
Half an hour later, Leng Ruo Li emerged from the system space and opened her room door. She was instantly stunned. Jun Mo Han and Ming Jiu Xiao were still fighting in the yard, surrounded by servants. Even more outrageous was her cheap father, who was sitting in the small pavilion in the yard, enjoying tea while watching the battle. On the small table, there was a plate of peanuts and a plate of pastries. What was going on!
Leng Ruo Li felt utterly speechless.
Seeing her emerge, Leng Jin Yu quickly waved at her, signaling her to come over and sit. She walked to Leng Jin Yu's side, and Leng Jin Yu said unhurriedly, "Li'er, two peak martial artists are dueling. Guess which one will win?" 138 Reading Network
Hearing this, Leng Ruo Li raised her hand to her forehead. Her father was truly not afraid of causing trouble, nor of someone getting killed.
So, she said helplessly, "Father, isn't what you're doing a bit excessive?"
Leng Jin Yu chuckled heartily.
"Li'er, just sit down and watch. Neither of them can harm the other."
Three black lines instantly appeared on Leng Ruo Li's forehead.
"Then when will they finish fighting! Li'er needs to rest."
Leng Ruo Li raised her eyes and glanced at the two figures fighting in mid-air, then posed her question to Leng Jin Yu.
"Father guesses they won't finish for a while."
Leng Jin Yu took a small sip of hot tea and said unhurriedly, then looked up at the two fighting in the air.
Leng Ruo Li plopped down onto the stone stool next to Leng Jin Yu. She glanced up at Jun Mo Han and Ming Jiu Xiao again, and her anger surged. She conjured a mini handgun from her "sleeve," walked out of the pavilion, and fired two shots into the air.
Jun Mo Han and Ming Jiu Xiao immediately stopped their actions and looked down at Leng Ruo Li.
"If you want to keep fighting, then get out of the General's Mansion immediately and find a deserted place to fight properly. Don't disturb my household from sleeping," Leng Ruo Li roared at them.
After speaking, she quickly returned to her room and went to sleep.
Half an hour later, the outside had become quiet, and she had fallen into a daze.
The next morning, after finishing her ablutions, Leng Ruo Li, dressed in a comfortable white tight-fitting outfit, opened her room door and went to her small courtyard to do her morning exercises.
The corpses on the ground of the courtyard had already been cleared, and not even a drop of blood could be seen.
As Leng Ruo Li was practicing her close-quarters combat techniques for the second time, a voice like a duck's croak reached her ears. Behind him, Leng Jin Yu, with a stern black face, followed closely.
"General Leng's mansion's eldest daughter, Leng Ruo Li, receive the imperial decree."
Eunuch Li shouted loudly. Everyone present knelt down to receive the imperial decree, and Leng Ruo Li had no choice but to kneel down.
Eunuch Li then picked up the imperial decree and read: "By the Grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Prince Leng, Jun Mo Han, is of noble character, filial, accomplished in both civil and martial arts, and has passed his weak years, reaching the age of twenty-four; and General Leng's mansion's eldest daughter, Leng Ruo Li, possesses elegant demeanor, is intelligent and virtuous, and has superb medical skills, having also passed the age of fourteen; Jun Mo Han and Leng Ruo Li already have a marriage engagement and have both reached the age of marriage. It is not advisable to delay marriage, thus today I have found a propitious day for them, and the grand wedding is set for the twenty-eighth of next month. By Imperial Order!"
After Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial decree, Leng Ruo Li was completely dumbfounded.
Damn it!
Can anyone tell me?
What is happening?
She received this hasty marriage imperial decree early in the morning.
Although she and Jun Mo Han had a marriage engagement, they had not set a wedding date. She had never taken their engagement seriously. Now, the Emperor had even set their wedding date, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
But she, Leng Ruo Li, didn't want to get married so early! Ten thousand expletives were running through her mind.
As for Leng Jin Yu, he remained speechless for a long time after hearing the imperial decree.
He had just returned from the border and hadn't had time to properly compensate his Li'er, and now that brat was going to snatch his daughter away.
Moreover, he hadn't found a famous doctor to treat the dark spot on his Li'er's face. However, given Li'er's superb medical skills, perhaps she could treat it herself.
At this moment, Leng Jin Yu remembered seeing Li'er's dark spot fade significantly in the deep mountains last time. Could his Li'er be treating the dark spot on her face?
That would be wonderful!
At this moment, Eunuch Li, having waited for a long time without seeing Leng Ruo Li accept the decree, immediately reminded her, "Eldest Miss Leng, receive the decree!"
Leng Ruo Li twitched her lips helplessly, then raised her hands to accept the imperial decree.
Eunuch Li immediately smiled obsequiously, "Congratulations, congratulations, Eldest Miss Leng, on becoming the Princess Consort!"
Leng Ruo Li smiled at Eunuch Li, then slowly stood up.
She took out a gold leaf the size of two fingers from her "sleeve" and slipped it into Eunuch Li's sleeve.
"Eunuch Li, can you tell me who proposed to set the grand wedding date for me and Prince Leng?"
"Of course, it was His Highness Prince Leng! Last night, he suddenly entered the palace and told the Emperor that you are both of age and should get married. Eldest Miss Leng, you wouldn't believe how happy the Emperor was upon hearing Prince Leng's words; he couldn't sleep well all night. Because Prince Leng has always refused to associate with women, the Emperor thought he was gay. Now that he has voluntarily proposed to marry you, doesn't it prove that Prince Leng's sexual orientation is normal? Alas, the Emperor no longer has to worry that Prince Leng will end up alone for life."
Eunuch Li, with his right hand curled in a feminine posture, gestured between the two and spoke to her in a effeminate tone, which made Leng Ruo Li truly unbearable.
However, what made her most speechless was why Jun Mo Han was acting so strangely, suddenly deciding to set their grand wedding date. She wondered if he had been stimulated last night.
Afterward, she personally escorted Eunuch Li out.
At this moment, Leng Jin Yu walked over to her and said with some reluctance, "Li'er, if you still don't want to have the grand wedding with Prince Leng, Father can go into the palace now and ask the Emperor to postpone your wedding date, or even cancel your engagement."
"Li'er thanks Father first. Regarding Li'er's engagement with Prince Leng, let your daughter handle it herself," Leng Ruo Li said calmly.
After all, Leng Jin Yu held significant military power, and it was better to act with caution to avoid angering the Emperor and bringing disaster. As the ancients said, serving a ruler is like accompanying a tiger, and there is a reason for it.
