Ji Shuisheng opened his eyes when he heard Saiya’s voice. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together. It was the middle of the night, and a princess of a country was knocking on a man’s door in the middle of the night? Don’t they have any sense of shame?
Even though the door separated them, he still felt awkward. He hurriedly stood up from the water and quickly dried himself with a towel. After putting on his clothes, Saiya, who was outside the door, heard the sound of water and imagined Ji Shuisheng’s majestic body. Her face turned red.
She waited outside the door shyly, thinking that Ji Shuisheng would open the door for her immediately. Unexpectedly, she heard a cold and emotionless voice from inside.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“I have something urgent to do. Can you open the door first?”
Saiya didn’t expect that he wouldn’t let her in even though she had come to find him personally. She was unwilling to give up and continued to knock on the door.
“Princess, please have some self-respect.”
Ji Shuisheng’s face was as dark as water. Seeing Saiya bugging him, he no longer spoke politely.
Saiya, who was outside the door, was very angry when she heard Ji Shuisheng’s words. However, when she thought about how the men of the Great Xia Kingdom were too disciplined, she was not angry anymore. She stood outside the yurt and started talking to Ji Shuisheng.
“Saiya thanks Young Master Ji for saving her life twice.”
Saiya’s voice was very gentle, and her eyes looked at the tightly shut door.
“It’s not worth mentioning. Princess, please go back!”
Ji Shuisheng was still cold and ordered her to leave again.
“Aren’t you going to ask me why 1 ran out? You don’t even care if my arm is broken?”
Saiya felt wronged. Who did she run out for? He didn’t even come to see her when her arm was broken. She came to look for him, but he turned her down.
Ji Shuisheng’s brows furrowed even more tightly when she voiced her grievances. This time, his voice was filled with impatience.
“Princess, please have some self-respect.”
“Respect yourself, respect yourself? All of you would ask me to respect myself, but who cares about me? My mother has been banished to the cold palace by my father, and my father has imprisoned my second brother. I can’t see anyone alone. My father wants to marry me off to the prince of the Hasar Kingdom. I don’t want to. I like you.”
Saiya was angered by Ji Shuisheng’s repeated words of self-respect. She cried and shouted at Ji Shuisheng. The grievance of being rejected by her lover made her collapse.
“… 1 already have a fiancee and have no feelings for the princess. Please leave quickly.”
Ji Shuisheng did not expect Saiya to confess to him suddenly. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so he immediately cut off all thoughts of Saiya.
As for the Empress and the Second Prince, they had brought this upon themselves. The Emperor was still merciful. The Empress and the Second Prince had rebelled and destroyed their families.
Letting them live was equivalent to allowing them to bring disaster. Saiya was not implicated because of the Emperor’s love for her, yet she still complained? She was also ambiguous.
As for her liking him, Ji Shuisheng didn’t think that it was an honor. He had promised Qing’er that he would be with her for the rest of his life. Other than Qing’er, all the other women were plain and crude in his eyes.
Even if she was the princess of a country, in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes, she couldn’t be compared to Qing’er in the slightest.
“I don’t care if you have other women. As long as I become your wife and she becomes your concubine, the Imperial Father admires you very much. As long as you agree, I’ll ask the Imperial Father to grant my wish.”
Saiya could be said to be very humble. A country princess wanted to share a husband with a commoner woman. She had long thought it was impossible for Ji Shuisheng not to have a wife at his age. The men of the Great Xia Kingdom all married early. She had long thought of this and did not care.
“Impossible. In this lifetime, I only love Qing’er and no other woman. Princess, please leave quickly and don’t bug me.”
Ji Shuisheng was already so angry that he rejected her outright. He wanted Qing’er to be his concubine? If someone else said he would beat her, it would insult Qing’ er. He no longer treated Saiya politely. He was just short of saying that she had no shame.
“I am willing to be her equal wife, regardless of age. You will be the Prince Consort of Tartan as long as you agree. In the future, if you need anything, my father will help you. My mother said that your ident.i.ty is exceptional. If you want revenge, you need help.”
Saiya didn’t expect she wouldn’t be unable to move Ji Shuisheng even though she had lowered herself so much. The more he rejected, the more Saiya liked him. How could a man leave a princess for his wife? How devoted was this?
She also wanted such love, so she changed her mind and was willing to be the equal wife of that Qing’er. She even knew Ji Shuisheng’s ident.i.ty.
A spy in the city spread this secret report. The one who helped defend the city was General Xiao Heng’s son. Initially, this confidential report fell into the hands of the First Prince. He did not care about Xiao Heng’s son. He was not even afraid of his father, let alone his son.
Therefore, he did not take it to heart. However, after the First Prince lost his power and Ye Hechang fell into the hands of the Empress, he told the Empress this information to save his life.
The Empress judged that Ji Shuisheng would avenge her father, but she did not think he could take revenge.
A person without soldiers, money, or weapons who wanted to take revenge on the ruler of a country was as powerful as ascending to the heavens. She had also mentioned it to the Second Prince as if it was gossip. The Second Prince had unintentionally told his sister, and Saiya had begged Mother to help Ji Shuisheng take revenge. After being sternly reprimanded by the Empress, Saiya was not allowed to see Ji Shuisheng again after knowing her daughter’s thoughts.
Ji Shuisheng didn’t know any of this. When he heard that the princess knew his ident.i.ty and that even the Tartan Kingdom knew, he wondered if the imperial court and the Wan Family Army knew.
They would send an army to suppress and wipe them out if they found out. Then, Mo City would be in danger.
Did Saiya not know that Ji Shuisheng was thinking about Mo City’s safety? After waiting a long time without receiving his response, she felt that her sincerity had moved him. She waited expectantly for Ji Shuisheng to open the door. Tonight, the uncooked rice will become cooked rice. Tomorrow, her father would have no choice but to let her marry him.
“Young Master Ji?”
It was snowing heavily that night and so cold that even water droplets froze. Although Saiya was wearing a cloak, she was still frozen. She waited for Ji Shuisheng to open the door, but he did not. Her broken arm was increasingly painful, and she could not help but urge him.
“Princess, please leave quickly. If others see you, it will damage your reputation.”
Ji Shuisheng was also stunned when he heard Saiya’s voice. He thought that Saiya had left. He didn’t stand on ceremony and was short of scolding Saiya for being shameless.
“You… Why are you insulting me like this?”
Saiya was so angry that she cried when she heard Ji Shuisheng’s words. She had endured the pain of her broken arm and braved the wind and snow to see him. Her affectionate confession was damaging her reputation in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes?
“A princess of a country knocking on a man’s door in the middle of the night, so shameless, aren’t you asking for humiliation?”
Ji Shuisheng’s impatience had reached its limit. He was not afraid of offending Tartan anymore. If he attacked the Dynasty, Tartan would be restless. When he conquered the Dynasty, the first thing he would do was to destroy Tartan.
Since he had no more concerns, there was no need to be polite to Saiya. He directly scolded her and retired.
Her sweetheart scolded Saiya until she burst into tears. She no longer had the face to stay and ran away crying.
She hated Ji Shuisheng for being heartless and decided to destroy him if she couldn’t get him!
Saiya wiped away her tears and rushed to her father’s palace..
