Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 388 Ouyang Xingchen Gives a Golden Hairpin

In Piaomiao Palace, a man in black was reporting to Ouyang Xingchen the intelligence he had intercepted from Xu Yuexi.

"Are you sure that it was Princess Wuyou who personally said that she wanted to marry Li Yansheng? They will be leaving soon?" Ouyang Xingchen asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm sure. Princess Wuyou even fed Li Yansheng two pills, saying that they would help him recover from his injuries as soon as possible so that he could set off earlier."

"Okay, I understand. You continue to monitor Princess Wuyou's every move. Report to me immediately if there is anything unusual. Remember not to let anyone find out."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." The man in black took the order and left.

Piaomiao Palace became quiet again. Ouyang Xingchen sat in the main seat with a slight smile on his lips and a cunning glint in his eyes.

This Princess Wuyou is really different! She is willing to marry someone like Li Yansheng, so does he have a chance too?

Two days later, Xu Yuexi and the other men were preparing to take a nap after lunch when they heard that Ouyang Xingchen was coming to visit.

"Master Ouyang, how come you have time to come to my place today?" Xu Yuexi asked with a smile.

"Of course I came to see Her Royal Highness the Princess." Ouyang Xingchen smiled slightly, "I heard that the Princess will be leaving for Handan soon?"

"Yes. We have been bothering Pavilion Master Ouyang for many days. Now that our injuries have healed, it is time to leave."

"Since the princess is leaving, I have a small gift here. I hope the princess can accept it."

As he spoke, Ouyang Xingchen took out an exquisite box from his arms and handed it to Xu Yuexi.

Xu Yuexi opened the box and saw an extremely delicate gold hairpin lying quietly in the box. It had a unique shape and exquisite craftsmanship.

The head of the hairpin is carved into a blooming peony flower, the petals are delicate and vivid, and the pistil is inlaid with a crystal clear gem, like a drop of dew, sparkling with charming light.

The hairpin body is outlined with delicate lines to create an exquisite pattern, which echoes the hairpin head, making the whole look gorgeous and solemn. Judging from the material and craftsmanship, this gold hairpin is undoubtedly a rare treasure.

He actually gave her a gold hairpin!

He must know the meaning of a man giving a gold hairpin to a woman, right?

"What does Pavilion Master Ouyang mean?" Xu Yuexi asked pretending to be confused.

"Princess is so smart, how could she not know my intention?" Ouyang Xingchen asked back.

"Master Ouyang, I already have a consort and nine concubines. For a banished immortal like you, isn't it unfair to be inferior to others?

Furthermore, I am beautiful but have no skills. I cannot lift anything with my hands or shoulders. I am too weak to take care of myself. I am afraid I am not worthy of Pavilion Master Ouyang."

For a man with such great power, it should be easy for him to get married. Why would he be so stupid as to marry her?

She originally planned to marry Li Yansheng and never marry again, but she didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear and ask her to marry him. The key is that this person is so beautiful that she, a woman, is jealous and also so beautiful that her heart is moved.

But is she capable of controlling someone like him?

She has some self-awareness of her own abilities.

She couldn't afford to offend such a killer boss, so she could only refuse self-deprecatingly.

Ouyang Xingchen smiled and said, "Princess, why do you have to belittle yourself? In my eyes, no other woman in the world can compare to you.

Before I met the princess, I had never thought about getting married. After I met the princess, I never thought about marrying anyone again."

When Xu Yuexi heard this, the memories in her mind began to churn, and the look she gave Ouyang Xingchen became more complicated.

She clearly remembered that Lou Moyu in the previous world had said the same words to her.

That man also fell deeply in love with her soon after he met her, loved her, doted on her, and finally died with her.

Thinking of Lou Moyu who died because of her in the previous life, Xu Yuexi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Sometimes, she really hopes that she can lose her memory and forget those painful memories, because some memories are too heavy, once touched, they will be like a sharp sword, deeply hurting her heart.

Seeing Xu Yuexi suddenly burst into tears, Ouyang Xingchen struggled for a while, came to Xu Yuexi, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Princess, if my admiration for you makes you sad, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Perhaps I am asking for too much. I am a man of the Jianghu, and my Piao Miao Pavilion is engaged in the business of killing people. It is understandable that the princess despises me."

Xu Yuexi took the handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at Ouyang Xingchen, and tried to force a smile, "Master Ouyang, please don't misunderstand me. I just suddenly remembered some past events and couldn't control myself for a while, so I'm a little sad."

Ouyang Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "If the princess is willing, you might as well pour out your suffering to me, and maybe you will feel better."

Xu Yuexi shook her head slightly, "I'm fine.

Pavilion Master Ouyang, I don't mean to look down on you. This world is so big, there are always some people who really deserve to die. Your existence can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. You can always stick to your bottom line, and I still admire you very much.

Let's be frank. A man like Pavilion Master Ouyang can have any woman he wants. Why did you choose to marry me? "
