Chapter 34
The Shameless Are Invincible Under Heaven
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions stiffened, their faces turning as pale as paper, and the void itself seemed to fall silent! After their expressions stiffened, everyone began to size up this Bei Ming Crown Prince from head to toe, who had so boldly declared his desire to roll around ten thousand times.
Looking at him, and then recalling Dantai Huang singing "Mountain, top!" and "Day, and, night!", they shook their heads in their hearts! The Bei Ming Crown Prince was indeed a rare talent in the world, a king among kings, and a hero among heroes, but when it came to his taste in women, they really couldn't agree! Forgive their shallow understanding, but they truly couldn't comprehend what was so worthwhile about the Third Princess of Mobei that he would disregard all dignity and roll on the ground ten thousand times just to propose marriage!
As for the person in question, he completely ignored the doubtful looks directed at his taste. He stared intently at Dantai Ji, his narrow eyes glistening like tears, expressing his determination!
Dantai Ji stared back, and a black line couldn't help but flash across his forehead! For a moment, he really couldn't guess what was going on in the other's mind. Roll on the ground ten thousand times? Looking at his arrogant, domineering, noble, and peerless appearance, looking down on the world as if no one else existed, did he look like someone who would roll on the ground? And ten thousand times at that?!
Dantai Huang's lips twitched as she looked at this shameless scoundrel. If she hadn't been able to see through the hidden killing intent in the depths of his eyes, she really would have thought he liked her!
"Royal Brother?" While everyone was silent, that person called out to Dantai Ji again!
"Cough... Cough cough..." Dantai Ji was successfully choked by this shameless guy! Royal Brother? Who was he calling?! He quickly opened his mouth: "The Crown Prince is too polite. Your meaning, this Prince will naturally convey! Please rest assured, but as for the result, we must still wait for Imperial Father..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jun Jinglan had already stood up, holding a wine cup, and walked quickly toward Dantai Ji. Arriving in front of him, he held out the wine cup, his voice laced with a smile: "Please drink this cup, Royal Brother, and speak some good words for this Crown Prince in front of my respected father-in-law!"
Everyone looked at the sky in silence! He had already started claiming relatives!
Dantai Ji stood frozen as if struck by lightning, unable to speak for a long time! Jun Jinglan was indeed well-deserved of his reputation; a few words from him made it impossible for you not to cooperate! This Bei Ming Crown Prince could be shameless and come over to claim relatives, but it was also because he was too madly in love with Huang'er. However, if he didn't accept this wine cup, it would be seen as lacking etiquette and not giving face to Bei Ming! But accepting this wine cup was equivalent to acknowledging him as a brother-in-law. It was truly... a dilemma!
"Bei Ming Crown Prince, please show some self-respect!" Dantai Huang quickly spoke up to interrupt. If her Royal Brother couldn't hold his ground and actually accepted this wine cup, the marriage might actually be settled, and her death would surely follow!
As soon as these words came out, the man let out a soft laugh, then spoke with a half-smile: "This Crown Prince has no scars or blemishes on his body. Whether I am heavy or not, hasn't the Princess already seen for herself? Do I need to remind you?"
"Pfft—" The envoys from all sides coughed loudly. So "self-respect" was interpreted this way—?!
But there was a lot of meaning in those words. "Hasn't the Princess already seen for herself?" Oh my, there was something going on! Could it be that the so-called looking at his body was true? Everyone thought about it, and they continued to watch the show with great interest. Following this, the look Jun Jinglan directed at Dantai Huang was extremely affectionate!
However, Dantai Huang could clearly see the cold light in his eyes!
"Is Royal Brother refusing to accept because this Crown Prince's sincerity is still not enough?" Turning his head, he looked at Dantai Ji and spoke again.
Everyone in the world knew that the proud Bei Ming Crown Prince never bowed to anyone, let alone offered a toast. Today's sincerity was already an exception. If Dantai Ji still claimed the sincerity was not enough, then it would be Dantai Ji who had an issue! Therefore, the First Prince of Mobei, even though he was extremely speechless, still opened his mouth: "The Crown Prince's sincerity, this Prince can naturally appreciate! It's just that Huang'er's marriage is something this Prince truly cannot decide, so I dare not accept the title of 'Royal Brother'!"
"No matter, as long as Royal Brother himself acknowledges this Crown Prince, it is fine!" He replied carelessly, the smile on his face extremely charming. In this world, there was no one to whom Jun Jinglan could not offer a toast.
This was great. The man had made a sincere request and didn't expect the marriage to be settled right now; he only hoped Dantai Ji would acknowledge and support him. If Dantai Ji didn't agree, wouldn't that be looking down on Bei Ming? The corner of Dantai Ji's eye twitched slightly. Under Dantai Huang's miserable gaze, he took the wine cup and drained it in one gulp! "The Crown Prince's sincerity deeply moves this Prince!"
These words meant: I drank the wine, but it doesn't mean I agreed. It's because your behavior is very moving!
Jun Jinglan didn't mind either. He smiled, turned his head, and looked at Huangfu Xuan on the high platform: "I wonder if the Dongling Emperor still intends to contend with this Crown Prince for his wife?"
With this question, everyone's eyes turned to Huangfu Xuan.
The emperor on the dragon throne felt his lips twitch slightly. Looking at the gazes focused on him from below, and thinking of Dantai Huang's tragic performance, if he said he still wanted to marry her, it would be equivalent to admitting to the world that his taste had issues! And as for Jun Jinglan, he had already seen through him. If he said he still wanted to contend for his wife, the man might immediately declare that he would roll ten thousand times at his palace gates, letting everyone know that Huangfu Xuan was snatching another's wife, acting despicably, and coveting another man's wife.
Weighing all this, he pulled at the corner of his mouth and spoke with a fake smile: "A gentleman helps others fulfill their wishes. We will naturally not snatch her!" As for settling scores with that woman, opportunities were rare, but not non-existent!
Jun Jinglan nodded in satisfaction at this moment, smiling as he said, "Then this Crown Prince thanks the Dongling Emperor for giving up his love!"
As for Zhongli Han, seeing this scene, her heart had already shattered. Leaning against Zhongli Cheng, her tears were about to fall. Zhongli Cheng spoke in a cold voice at this moment: "Dongling Emperor, the sky is no longer early. This Prince will take my royal sister back first!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone also began to take their leave. Today's banquet was truly filled with constant storms, and they were even made to feel uneasy by the singing, dancing, and fighting, so they hadn't even eaten or drunk well. How did this look like a grand celebration for an emperor's ascension! Looking at the whole situation, only the Bei Ming Crown Prince had been enjoying the food, serving himself very well! However, although they had heard the pig-slaying song today, they had seen so many interesting things, so overall it was still worth it!
"The sky is indeed no longer early, and We will not keep you! If Dongling has been lacking in hospitality, please forgive Us!" Huangfu Xuan spoke very politely.
The envoys quickly turned and bowed, saying, "Not at all! Not at all! The Dongling Emperor is truly too polite!" Even if the hospitality was lacking, they wouldn't say anything! Because the Dongling Emperor was also very unlucky today. First, he was framed, and then he lost the fight for a wife. He must be suffering in his heart, so how could they have the heart to rub salt into his wounds!
Today, the happiest ones were Jun Jinglan and Dantai Huang! One had claimed land and snatched a Crown Princess, while the other had beaten a princess and a county princess without having to take responsibility. Looking at it this way, these two were indeed a match. But if they really became a couple, who could ever get the upper hand against this black-hearted husband and wife? It was truly worrying!
Everyone thought this way, leaving either in indignation, worry, or sighs.
Under Huangfu Xuan's cold gaze, Dantai Huang followed Dantai Ji. Actually, today, following Jun Jinglan, she had finally understood what it meant to be shameless and invincible under heaven! Lost in thought, she raised her head and met a pair of deep, half-smiling eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around, pulling Dantai Ji as she ran: "Royal Brother, let's go back quickly! I want to go to the latrine!"
As long as she could run back quickly, even going to the latrine was fine! This was the first time in Dantai Huang's life that she felt what it was like to be driven to the wall! This man was too dangerous; it was better to avoid him. If all else failed, she would pack her bags and run away after returning! Since she couldn't kick this shameless scoundrel away, she would just kick herself away! If she couldn't win, she would run...
Behind her, the exquisite man stood with his hands behind his back, watching her panicked figure run away with amusement. Was she thinking of packing her bags and running away after returning? Thinking of this, his lips curled into a tattered, incomprehensible smile.
Ah, woman, run if you want. If you can escape from the palm of my hand!
