Chapter 856 - Born to Be Beautiful
Jun Xiqing looked up at Lin Xuanji. Uncle had given a lifetime of his love to her.
Even in the last lap of Uncle’s life journey, he could not bear to force her against her wishes and would only accede to her requests.
“Uncle, actually you can be a little more selfish. You can get Madam Xuanji to be your wife.”
Jun Mosheng shook his head. “She won’t be happy this way.”
With that, Jun Mosheng caressed Jun Xiqing’s hair affectionately. “Qing’er, you’ve been with me since you were young and I’ve been raising and nurturing you. It’s a pity that you’re a female, if not I could handover Country Z to you.”
Jun Xiqing was a woman dressed in a man’s clothing.
“Uncle.” Jun Xiqing fluttered her pretty lashes. “Who said that women are incomparable to men? I’ll help you to protect Country Z in the future!”
Many years later, Jun Xiqing became the first queen in history. She honored her promise and helped her Uncle protect Country Z.
The dim light in the corridor shone on Tang Chenyi’s handsome face and his countenance could not clearly be seen. He glanced at Fan Men.
Fan Men respectfully approached Tang Chenyi and whispered a few sentences into his ear.
Ha.
At this moment, he heard soft laughter.
Fan Men promptly raised his head to see a delicate figure ahead. Jun Xiqing was lazily leaning against the wall in the corridor, with one hand stuck into her trousers pocket and the other hand was holding onto her cap, which concealed half of her face. Her sparkling dark eyes landed on Tang Chenyi’s handsome face.
Who was this?
Murderous intent flashed across Fan Men’s eyes and he wanted to go forward.
But just then, a hand restrained him. Tang Chenyi glanced at Fan Men. Lowering his head, Fan Men lowered his head and retreated a few steps.
Tang Chenyi looked ahead at Jun Xiqing. “What are you laughing at?”
Jun Xiqing extended her long legs, crossed one leg over the other and started shaking her legs coolly. “West Duke, just now your assistant was telling you that the two dukes of the South and the East have already sent someone to kill you. Actually if Madam Xuanji marries President Jun, these two dukes will not dare lay a finger on you.
“Since historical times, the monarch does not care about trivial things like marrying off their sisters or mothers. This is merely a political strategy to help you realize your ambitions and wishes for revenge.”
Jun Xiqing was here to persuade. She hoped that Madam Xuanji would marry her Uncle. Upon hearing these words, Tang Chenyi arched his brows. He walked ahead and stood in front of Jun Xiqing.
He extended a large hand and placed it beside Jun Xiqing’s head on the wall. Tang Chenyi hunched his body and trapped her between the wall and his chest.
Jun Xiqing promptly retracted her legs. Even though she was dressed in men’s clothes, she was still soft and demure beneath her confident appearance.
Now she was being trapped in Tang Chenyi’s embrace. Tang Chenyi was almost 1.85 meters in height and she was only 1.62 meters. Her head barely reached his chest.
His handsome face was in close proximity to hers. He was as handsome as what people proclaimed, and his features looked like they had been exquisitely drawn by an artist.
She had never been so intimate with a man before in her whole life.
Having grown up under Jun Mosheng’s care at Orchid Park, and there were practically no other men at where she was residing. She fluttered her lashes and looked at him with bright eyes. “You… what do you want?”
Tang Chenyi gradually curved his thin lips and said in a deep voice, “You’re wrong. Just now, Fan Men was telling me that the West Palace has sent over a beauty. This beauty was born to be beautiful and she’s been sent over to guide me on… the matters between a man and a woman.”
Matters between… a man and a woman?
“What matters could there be between men and women?” Jun Xiqing expressed curiosity.
Tang Chenyi looked down at the little face. He had never seen a boy’s face so tiny before. It was so small that it was not even the size of a palm.
This boy was not handsome at all. His parents, sister and even brother-in-law were extremely good-looking. In comparison, this boy’s face was very normal-looking, and was only pleasant-looking at the very most.
She was holding her hat now and shielding the lower part of her face, revealing her exquisite forehead, a pair of willowy eyebrows and her luscious lashes. He could see her lashes strand by strand, as if they were like little fans…
