Chapter 218: Childhood sweethearts with the villain?
Chu Yuan also saw his actions at the first moment. It seems that his medical skills are not bad. He can save people to this extent by using the medicinal materials from this mortal world. He is really a genius!
"Hehe, brother, please show mercy. These gentlemen must have done nothing wrong. Why are you so cruel?" A young man in white clothes came out waving a fan.
The guards around him stopped Xiao Wangjin aside, clearly intending to take sides.
Chu Yuan and Chu Xu looked at each other and recognized that the man who suddenly appeared was Li Yulin, the son of the Right Prime Minister. Since he sided with the group of people lying on the ground, they should not blame them for being rude.
Chu Yuan stopped trying to stop them this time, and Chu Xu immediately rushed forward to defend his sister: "Since Master Li is speaking out for these people, I guess you agree with what they said?"
Li Yulin saw Chu Xu suddenly appear, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I just arrived and saw this brother beating someone. I didn't pay attention to what they said. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Tsk, only a devil would believe what he said.
But without evidence, they couldn't do anything to him now: "It's better this way. Since it's a misunderstanding, please let him go, Mr. Li."
"Of course." Li Yulin waved his hand, and the guard beside him let go of Xiao Wangjin.
Ever since seeing Chu Yuan in disguise, Xiao Wangjin has never taken his eyes off her. Others may not recognize her, but Xiao Wangjin knows clearly that this is her.
This is how she was dressed when they first met.
Chu Xu had a favorable impression of the man who fought for his sister, and took the initiative to invite him: "Sir, can we have a chat at Tianxiang Tower?"
"It's my honor." It was obvious that this man was in cahoots with Chu Yuan, so Xiao Wangjin certainly wouldn't refuse.
So the group moved to Tianxiang Tower and came to the private room on the top floor.
"Mr. Xiao, long time no see."
"It's been a while, but I still don't know the young lady's name even though we've known each other for so long."
Chu Yuan originally thought that they would not meet again after leaving Jiangning, so she did not reveal her identity. However, since they were destined to meet again, she certainly would not hide it: "My name is Chu Yuan."
"It turns out to be Princess Rui'an. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Chu Xu was confused as he listened to this: "So, you two have known each other for a long time?"
"The princess is my savior, and I am here to repay you."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "No, you've already paid the consultation fee, so we're even now."
That year, she left a letter asking him to send the medical fees to her silk and satin shop in Jiangning Prefecture. Xiao Wangjin had already done it, so he didn't owe her anything.
However, Xiao Wangjin disagreed with her statement: "The princess's kindness to me cannot be measured by money, and the medical fees are far from enough to buy my life."
Chu Xu now understood that his sister had cured the man surnamed Xiao, and he had come all the way here to repay her kindness.
Chu Xu admired this kind of chivalrous man very much: "I wonder how Mr. Xiao wants to repay his kindness?"
Xiao Wangjin immediately expressed his thoughts: "Of course I will pledge my love to you. I heard that Princess Rui'an is selecting a consort recently. I wonder if I meet the princess's requirements?"
"You!" Chu Xu slammed the table and stood up. He had just admired this man's chivalrous heart, but he didn't expect...
Chu Yuan held him down: "Xu'er, don't be impulsive."
"Sister, could it be that you really like this man? He can't even beat the guards around Li Yulin."
Chu Xu's words really touched Xiao Wangjin's sore spot. He quickly stood up and explained, "No, I just lost my strength after I got injured. Besides, they have more people and more power. If it's a one-on-one fight, I will definitely not lose."
Chu Yuan felt the tense atmosphere and had a headache: "Mr. Xiao, I saved you just because you didn't look like a bad person, and you still need to deal with the matter of Dongxiang Water Village, I hope you don't think too much."
Xiao Wangjin's eyes suddenly became much more lonely. He really liked Chu Yuan, not because she was a princess, nor because she saved him.
But when I saw her for the first time, I had a vague liking for her.
But at that time, he didn't have much time left, and he just wanted to see her once before he died.
Now that he has managed to save his life by chance, of course he must do his best to win the beauty.
So Xiao Wangjin was not going to give up easily: "Princess, what are your requirements for choosing a prince consort? As long as you tell me, I will do my best to meet them."
Well...it seems that there are no requirements. She doesn't care about identity or family background. Anyway, if she becomes her husband's wife, she will have these sooner or later. She only cares about this person.
Her husband can only have her as a woman in his whole life, and he must treat her well with all his heart.
Of course, you also need to be good-looking and talented.
Chu Yuan looked at the man in front of her. He passed the test of appearance. As for talent, a man who could be a village leader should not be bad. Moreover, according to her observation, this man was well-spoken and not a rough man who only knew how to practice martial arts.
This is the most important point. A person's feelings are not expressed by words, but by actions.
"Well, I'll give you a chance," Chu Yuan took out a token and said, "Take it and run for election in half a month."
The princess's selection of a prince consort is divided into two parts: a literary test and a martial arts test. Only those who rank in the top ten in both the literary and martial arts tests can see the princess' true face.
Chu Yuan will eventually choose one of these people as his prince consort.
This is the rule set by Chu Yunxiao himself. If Xiao Wangjin cannot do it, it only means that the two of them are not destined to be together.
After receiving the token, Xiao Wangjin cupped his hands and said, "Princess, rest assured, I will definitely win."
After leaving Tianxiang Tower, Chu Yuan sat in the carriage back to the palace with her eyes closed and pondered, not knowing whether her decision was right or wrong. If he was really on the final list, did she really want to marry this person?
Would his father, the emperor, and his mother agree? After all, he was a pirate before.
Chu Yuan shook his head vigorously, trying to clear all the messy thoughts in his mind.
With Xiao Wangjin's current skills, it is still unknown whether he can defeat the others participating in the competition. What's the point of thinking about it here?
But Chu Xu didn't give her this opportunity. Seeing that she opened her eyes, he quickly approached her and asked, "Sister, do you like that person?"
"do not know."
"So do you want to marry him?"
"do not know."
Chu Xu stamped her feet anxiously: "Sister, how can you not know anything? This is your lifelong event."
"Let's talk about the future later. Isn't there still half a month left? But you have to keep our conversation today a secret for me. If my father and mother find out, I will not forgive you."
Chu Xu didn't get an answer, and was threatened by his sister. He sat there listlessly: "I know."
