Chapter 419 Confession to the Regent
Chapter 419 Confession to the Regent
So, Ding Ruolian cleared her throat, smoothed her hair, and prepared to get straight to the point and confess her feelings directly to the Regent.
"Your Highness, my name is Ding Ruolian, and I am the candidate for the Phoenix Woman chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory of Dafeng."
"I didn't want to travel thousands of miles to Dafeng, and I didn't want fame and fortune, but——"
Ding Ruolian paused when she got excited.
She wiped her tears and cried, "But ever since the prince saved Ruo Lian's life, Ruo Lian has never thought of anyone else in her mind."
"Your Majesty, I was a nobody before, and I didn't dare to confess my feelings to you, because I felt that I was not worthy of you."
Chi Yan: "Miss, are you done yet? My master still has to attend the morning court."
Seeing that Ding Ruolian's words were becoming more and more outrageous, he quickly put his sword in front of Ding Ruolian to prevent her from approaching her master.
Our master is very handsome. Every time he goes out, he will meet a large number of girls giving him sachets or purses. Some even fainted while shouting.
Therefore, Chi Yan has become very adept at dealing with such matters.
However, this time it's obviously not that easy to deal with.
Because when Ding Ruolian saw that Di Xiuyan was about to leave, she actually bent her legs and knelt in front of his warhorse.
She was smart enough to know that she couldn't hug Di Xiuyan's thighs, so she simply reached out and hugged the war horse Xiaohong's front legs tightly.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
"My Lord, if Lian Xin pleases you, please consider Lian Er."
"I used to feel that I was not worthy of you, but today I have been chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. I hope that you will open your eyes and look at me based on the prophecy that 'whoever gets the Phoenix girl will get the world'."
"As long as Your Majesty does not despise me, Ruolian is willing to use her own luck to assist you and be your military advisor and confidante."
Emperor Xiuyan: “…”
I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned.
After Ding Ruolian finished speaking, she stared at Di Xiuyan with expectant eyes.
She longed for him to support her personally and to say "Okay" to her gently.
However, the Immortal Prince Regent seemed to just look at her quietly without making any response.
Ding Ruolian was waiting anxiously. Could it be that the prince was still weighing the pros and cons?
Isn’t my appearance enough to make him stop for me?
Why is the Regent so slow to speak?
When Ding Ruolian's mind was full of wild imagination and conflict, God opened his eyes and Di Xiuyan finally spoke:
"Chi Yan slaps her mouth. Ding Ruolian dared to block the road and report to me without proper appearance. This is disrespectful to me."
Then, his sharp eyes glanced at his warhorse, and Xiaohong acted as if she had received an order.
With a roar, he kicked Ding Ruolian to the ground.
Xiao Hong thought to herself: What an overconfident thing! Not only does it delay my grazing, it also pollutes my master's ears. What's more important is that it even dares to hug my front legs.
If I don't kick her, who should I kick?
Xiao Hong ran to Di Xiuyan, squatted slightly and asked him to get on the horse, being extremely respectful to him.
Emperor Xiuyan said to Chiyan, "I will go to the morning court first, you can leave after you finish your punishment."
After saying this, he rode away without even looking at Ding Ruolian.
Ding Ruolian fell flat on her face and even her lip was bruised.
After Di Xiuyan left, Chi Yan quickly ran to Ding Ruolian and helped her up.
He said caringly, "Miss Ruolian, are you okay? Your mouth is bleeding."
Ding Ruolian was touched when she saw that Chi Yan did not punish her, but she felt wronged and wanted to cry because her confession failed.
"General, why did the prince punish me? There's something wrong with Ruolian's appearance."
Chi Yan: "Because there is egg white on the corners of your mouth, it does look creepy."
Ding Ruolian quickly reached out and wiped it, saying pitifully, "This is what I use to protect my throat. I didn't expect the man I've loved for so many years to be so unkind."
A pair of tearful eyes looked at Chi Yan, "General, you are indeed a man who knows how to cherish women. If I am personally named a Phoenix Girl by His Majesty one day, I will definitely not forget your kindness today."
Ding Ruolian bowed slightly towards Chi Yan and said, "Thank you, General!"
Di Xiuyan clearly ordered Chi Yan to beat me, but he didn't do anything, which shows that he is a good husband.
Chi Yan: "Thank you, young lady!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Ding Ruolian, "Girl, please wipe it off. There is blood and mud at the corner of your mouth."
Ding Ruolian took the handkerchief with both hands and tears welled up in her eyes. This was the first kind-hearted person she met in Dafeng Kingdom.
She was about to say thank you as she carefully wiped the mud and blood off her face while crying.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa." Countless slaps were slapped hard on her face.
Ding Ruolian's eyes widened, she was stunned by the scene before her.
Chi Yan explained to her politely: "It's finally cleaned. I can start now."
So, Ding Ruolian hadn't reacted yet.
Several slapping sounds were heard in the open space.
"Oh, it hurts--" She didn't cry out in pain until Chi Yan finished fighting and had already climbed onto the horse.
"Ah, you despicable villain, you dog slave raised by Emperor Xiuyan, you... you will not die well!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan apologized to her very gently: "I am sorry, young lady. I belong to the Xuanwu Army Camp. The Regent is my commander-in-chief, and military orders cannot be violated."
"My master told me to slap you, so I can only slap you."
Then he bowed and said, "Just throw the handkerchief away. No need to thank me. See you next time!"
Ding Ruolian: "When I become a Phoenix girl in the future, I will definitely not..."
Chi Yan: “Go!”
He pulled the reins and rode away.
Only Ding Ruolian with a hideous face was left standing there.
"I don't accept it. I don't believe that when I become a real Phoenix Girl, Di Xiuyan won't even look at me?"
She touched her swollen face and said with a grin, "I will definitely find a chance to avenge today's shame."
"I must make Di Xiuyan fall in love with me, crawl at my feet, and tell him how much I regret missing him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Ruolian had her mouth covered by a powerful big hand.
Her pupils shrank sharply and she wanted to turn around to see who the figure behind her was, but she didn't expect that person to stab her neck with a knife, and she fainted completely.
