I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

260 Chapter 203, Princess Di 1

After saying what he needed to say, Yin Jianghong left Jingxin palace hall after saying, “I’ll come to see you next time.”.

Looking at Yin Jianghong’s departing figure, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but think to himself.

‘I’m really begging you, old man, to stop coming to see me…’

After calling back the palace maids and eunuchs who had just been dismissed, Jiang Beiran sat on the desk and continued to read the books that he hadn’t finished in the morning.

After a long time, Mu Yao brought Kong Qianqian back to the study room.

“Your Majesty, why did Big Daddy come to see you today?”Mu Yao asked curiously.

“It has nothing to do with you,”Jiang Beiran answered without raising his head.

“TSK ~ If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it ~ I don’t want to hear it.”

Knowing Jiang Beiran’s temper, Mu Yao didn’t ask further and stood aside to read her book.

At five o’clock, Wang Shougui came to the desk and bowed to Jiang Beiran, “Your Majesty, it’s time for dinner.”

“I’m not hungry yet. Send some food to the westward room. Also, tell the people inside that they can go back on their own.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Wang Shougui had never asked what he should not ask. Although he did not know who he was going to send food to or who he was going to send a message to, since His Majesty did not say, he naturally would not ask.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Wang Shougui, who had prepared the food, brought a few young eunuchs to the westward room with food boxes of various sizes. As he did not know how many people were in the westward room, he had prepared more.

“Dong Dong.”

He went forward and knocked on the door twice. Wang shougui shouted at the top of his voice, “According to the Emperor’s decree, this servant has come to deliver some food to everyone.”

As soon as Wang Shougui finished speaking, the golden silk wood door was pushed open.

When he saw the person behind the door, Wang Shougui’s eyes widened instantly. His mouth instinctively wanted to call her “Eldest princess,”but his strong desire to survive made him swallow the words.

“Eunuch Wang,”Deng Xianghan who opened the door nodded and said.

Wang Shougui did not know if he should answer for a moment. He just stood there in a daze.

Deng Xianghan also understood him very well. She smiled and stepped aside. “Eunuch Wang, just bring the food in.”

After entering the room, Wang Shougui realized that the scene inside was even scarier.

“Princess Yuzhen… Princess Yinling… all twelve princesses are here! ?”

Wang Shougui originally thought that the one who could move into the western room should be the emperor who had finally taken a fancy to a certain imperial concubine and brought her back. Therefore, he naturally did not dare to say anything about this matter.

However, he did not expect to actually meet the princesses who had been taken away a few months ago here. This scene scared him so much that he did not dare to say anything more.

Putting down the food box, Wang Shougui waited quietly at the side. After the princesses had finished eating, he said, “Pass on the Emperor’s words. The emperor said that everyone can go back on their own after eating.”

Deng Xianghan was stunned for a moment after hearing that. Then, she quickly nodded and said, “Thank you, eunuch Wang. We understand.”

After passing on the edict, Wang Shougui brought the young eunuchs out of the western room at the fastest speed. Just as he walked further away, he shouted, “Don’t gossip when you go back. Otherwise, you might lose your life.”

“I understand, I understand.”

The few young eunuchs were also shocked when they saw the twelve princesses. They sighed in their hearts, “The Emperor still knows how to play. He gathered all the princesses in one go…”

When they returned to the study, Wang Shougui respectfully went forward and bowed. “Your Majesty, the food has been sent to the westward room.”

“Have you passed the message?”Jiang Beiran asked.

“Yes, your majesty, I did, word for word,”Wang Shougui replied.

“Yes, you may leave.”

The reason why Jiang Beiran didn’t go directly to the twelve princesses was that he wanted to temper their temperaments first. Since Yin Jianghong would give him the task of getting the information, it meant that he had already tried to trick the princesses, it was just that he didn’t succeed.

Since they were already on guard, if he went directly to them, it would make them especially wary. Moreover, it would make him look like he had something to ask of them, and he would naturally lower his head when talking to them.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran was not in a hurry at all. He planned to wait them out for a while before talking to them.

Just like that, until he was ugly, Jiang Beiran was ready to go back and rest as usual. He saw Wang Shougui walk in from outside the hall and report to Jiang Beiran, “Your Majesty, I, Deng Xianghan, am requesting an audience outside the hall.”

Wang Shougui thought for a long time before he came up with this title. It was impossible to call Deng Xianghan a princess in front of the emperor. Furthermore, they were not dressed as palace maids. Therefore, Wang Shougui thought about it carefully, in the end, he decided to call them commoners. After all, Deng Bo was no longer around. It was very likely that the princesses had been demoted to commoners.

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised when he heard this. Jiang Beiran had already learned the names of the princesses from Deng Bo’s family tree. This Deng Xianghan was Deng Bo’s first daughter, and she should be the smart one that Yin Jianghong mentioned.

Jiang Beiran didn’t expect her to come to him so quickly. However, since she took the initiative to come, there was no need for Jiang Beiran to ignore her for a while longer. He said directly, “Tell her to wait for me in the westward room.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Wang Shougui immediately left the study room after saying that.

Putting down the “Legend of Feng”in his hand, Jiang Beiran stood up and found that Mu Yao was sizing him up with a strange look. Her mouth was slightly open as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and said, “I’m going to visit that commoner girl. Why? You look like you want to say something, but you still want to say it. Do you want to be together?”

“Who, who, who wants to go together! You, you… Dirty!”

Jiang Beiran laughed and walked out of the study. When he crossed the threshold, he said to the palace maids and eunuchs behind him, “You guys stay here. There’s no need to follow.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Seeing the emperor leave alone, Kong Qianqian quietly went back to the study and asked Mu Yao, “Senior sister, what is visiting?”

After hearing that, Mu Yao pinched Kong Qianqian’s face and scolded her, “Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t!”

“Senior sister! It hurts, it hurts, I don’t know that it’s not allowed to ask.”

“Don’t ask anymore!”

After saying that, Mu Yao let go of Kong Qianqian’s little face and picked up the book in her hand again to read, but she found that she couldn’t read it no matter how hard she tried.

Her mind was filled with the words “I’m going to visit that commoner girl”.

‘this guy! I thought he was a good emperor who didn’t like women! In the end, he just didn’t like women in the harem. Now, he actually went to kidnap commoner girls to come to the palace. How despicable!’

Mu Yao felt that the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She threw the book on the ground. Her heart was very complicated because she knew that she was indeed angry that Jiang Beiran actually went to kidnap commoner girls to come to the palace, however, she felt that she was not completely angry about this.

‘Shameless! Dirty! Lecherous!’

Seeing that her senior sister was so angry that she would stomp her feet from time to time, Kong Qianqian asked carefully, “Senior sister, what is the Emperor going to do? He made you so angry.”

After hearing that, Mu Yao immediately shouted, “I am not angry because of him! What does what he wants to do have anything to do with me! HMPH!”

“Then senior sister, what are you angry about?”

“I’m angry that you’re so stupid!”Mu Yao flashed out two small canines and bit at Kong Qianqian’s arm.

However, Kong Qianqian reacted quickly and quickly retreated.

Mu Yao chased after her and shouted, “Don’t run, let me take a bite!”

Seeing Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian running around in Jingxin Palace, the other eunuchs could only watch from the sidelines. After all, everyone knew that these two were the emperor’s trusted aides and were not people that they could offend.

While Mu Yao was chasing after Kong Qianqian to vent her anger, Jiang Beiran had already arrived in the west room.

He pushed open the door and walked over to Jiang Beiran.

“I, Deng Xianghan, pay my respects to the Emperor.”

“Rise,”Jiang Beiran said as he looked at Deng Xianghan who was kneeling in front of him.

“Thank You, Your Majesty.”

Deng Xianghan slowly stood up after she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Jiang Beiran.

Just now, when this first-born princess led her group of younger sisters to kneel before him, Jiang Beiran had already noticed that her appearance was extremely outstanding. Now that he saw her up close, he felt that this first-born princess was incomparably beautiful.

At this moment, she was holding a moon-white dress in her hand and putting it on her snow-feathered shoulders. The cream-white satin dress that was mixed with pink had many gold and silver lines and snow-civet fur rusted on it. Her slender waist was not long enough to hold it, revealing her exquisite and exquisite figure.

Her long black hair was as smooth as a waterfall and as soft as satin. Her loose black hair was paired with the Silver Stars and crescent moon. Her eyes were ethereal and her lips were cherry-like. She clearly had the foundation of an ice-cold beauty.., but at this moment, she acted as if she was at Jiang Beiran’s mercy.

‘these eyes… I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before.’

Jiang Beiran thought it was strange and said, “Tell Me, why are you looking for me?”

After bowing to Jiang Beiran, Deng Xianghan said, “I wish to ask the Emperor to save my father.”

After saying that, Deng Xianghan suddenly pulled open her purplish-red belt. She did not know what kind of design the moon white dress was, but as soon as the belt fell, the entire dress fell off. In an instant.., all that was left on Deng Xiang Han’s body was a red dudou embroidered with Mandarin ducks.

“I have nothing now. I can only repay the favor of the heavens with my willow-like appearance. If the emperor can save my father, I will serve the emperor wholeheartedly.”

“So Direct? ? ?”

Jiang Beiran did not expect Deng Xiang Han to take off her clothes the moment she stepped in. He originally thought that the legitimate princess had taken the initiative to come here to compete with him in terms of brain power. He did not expect her to actually come here to play dirty.

Just as Jiang Beiran was in shock, two options popped up in the system.

[ option 1: agree to Deng Xianghan’s request. Reward: True Scroll of Huaiyun -Eartharth graMiddledTier–RSB-RB-ier)]

[ option 2: Reject Deng Xianghan’s request. Reward: Random Basic Attribute Points + 1]

Jiang Beiran was shocked by Deng Xianghan’s sudden action of taking off her clothes. Looking at the option, he thought about how this princess of the previous dynasty actually wanted him, the current emperor, to save his father, who was the previous emperor of the previous dynasty?

“Where did the confidence come from… do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re good-looking? It doesn’t exist.”

After choosing two, Jiang Beiran looked at the slightly protruding small steamed buns on Deng Xianghan’s chest and said, “Just this?”

Although Deng Xianghan didn’t quite understand what Jiang Beiran meant by this sentence, she could feel the disdain in the emperor’s tone.

“If your Majesty doesn’t like me, my sisters are also waiting outside the hall. As long as your Majesty Says…”

“Enough!”Jiang Beiran scolded, “What do you want to say?”

After hearing that, Deng Xianghan knelt on the ground again and begged, “I beg your Majesty to save my poor father. For this, I’m willing to give everything, as long as your Majesty…”

Hearing Deng Xianghan repeat what she said, Jiang Beiran grabbed her shoulder impatiently and pulled her up, “I will give you one last chance. If you don’t say it properly, don’t think about saying it again.”
