Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 322: Hold your hand and grow old together

Yue Rensong looked at Xu Yuexi in front of him with deep affection, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

The soldier was confessing his love to her! Not only did he confess his love to her, he also used the "beauty trap" on her, and of course she fell for it.

Xu Yuexi stretched out her fair and slender hand to Yue Rensong. Although Yue Rensong didn't understand why, he also stretched out his broad big hand like Xu Yuexi. Xu Yuexi held it, and their fingers were interlocked.

Xu Yuexi slightly raised her head, looked at Yue Rensong, opened her red lips, and said clearly word by word: "We will be together through life and death. I will hold your hand and grow old with you!"

What a solemn promise this is! Yue Rensong's eyes were instantly moist.

He knew that this was Xu Yuexi's response to his love.

He held Xu Yuexi's hand tightly and responded, "Princess...if you never leave me, I will follow you through thick and thin."

Ji Wuxie stood aside, staring intently at the two people in front of him who were clasping their fingers and looking at each other affectionately, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Even though he had known for a long time that she was destined not to belong to him alone, this situation still made him unable to suppress the bitterness in his heart.

Soon a burst of noise broke the silence. It turned out that a group of guards were escorting back the people who had bullied Yue Rensong before.

"Princess, please spare my life. I know I was wrong..."

The courtyard, which was not spacious to begin with, now seemed extremely crowded. The servants and slaves were forced to kneel by the guards, and cries for mercy continued to be heard.

"As slaves, you are quite courageous. You dare to bully your master! Since you have the courage to do such a thing, you should also have the courage to bear the consequences of your actions. Give me a severe beating, thirty strokes of the cane each. If you are beaten to death, throw them out. For those who are not dead, pay them back tenfold for what they did to Lord Yue before."

Xu Yuexi is no longer as soft-hearted and kind as she used to be. After many ups and downs, she is no longer the simple and kind full-time mother. Now she is a princess of a powerful country standing at the pinnacle of power, an awe-inspiring existence.

As soon as Xu Yuexi finished giving the order, the sound of people being spanked with a stick was soon heard in the yard, and screams followed one after another.

Suddenly, a tall and thin young man ran towards Xu Yuexi.

"My lord, my lord, are you okay?" Ji Wuxie's personal attendant Ruan Xiaoqi rushed over from a distance, grabbed Ji Wuxie and said while checking him.

"Xiao Qi, you must not act unruly in front of the princess."

Princess? Would the princess come to their shabby courtyard? But when he looked up, he saw Xu Yuexi who was blocked by Ji Wuxie. Ruan Xiaoqi was so scared that he immediately knelt down to salute.

"Your servant Ruan Xiaoqi pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years. Your servant greets Lord Yue."

His voice was trembling and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

Xu Yuexi glanced at him calmly, "Are you Lechen's personal attendant?"

He is a handsome young man, but he is too thin, like a bamboo pole.

"In reply to your question, Princess, I am that servant." Ruan Xiaoqi lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"Well, get up and answer. What are you running to in such a hurry for?"

"Princess, please allow me to report. My servant has been out for such a long time and has not returned yet. There was suddenly such a commotion in the courtyard. I was worried and could not rest assured, so I came out to look for my servant. Fortunately, he is fine."

"Oh? Why? Does your servant also get bullied sometimes?"

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiaoqi knelt down and cried, "Princess, you have to make the decision for my master. I have had a hard time serving you for more than three years..."

Ruan Xiaoqi cried as he spoke, tears streaming down his face, and recounted in detail all the injustices and grievances that Ji Wuxie had suffered over the past three years.

When Xu Yuexi heard this, her face became even uglier, and the anger that had just subsided a short while ago rose again.
