Chapter 212 People will say I'm petty
Jun Ce's tall body stiffened, and he immediately dragged her away from the jewelry stall.
"Hey! I haven't finished watching it yet!"
Zhai Rong was about to run back when Jun Ce grabbed her waist and pulled her back, half-lifting and half-carrying her away.
What exactly did you dream about?
"Tell me~"
"Hey, hey, put me down first!" she said, kicking her feet.
"Xu! I can't reach the ground anymore!"
……
Long Qianxue stood there, watching their backs, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
Qinghe clapped her hands and looked at Long Qianxue with some confusion, "Miss, are we just going to let them go like that?"
"Aren't we going to cause them any trouble?"
Long Qianxue gave her a sharp look, and Qinghe immediately changed the subject, "What this servant means is, how can we let them off so easily when they disregard Miss like this..."
Long Qianxue sneered, "I already know his identity. Some things can be dealt with slowly."
"Identity? Whose identity?" Qinghe asked, puzzled.
Long Qianxue did not answer; she lowered her head and narrowed her eyes.
That jade pendant was a family heirloom of an emperor.
That man must be a prince.
Judging from his demeanor, he must be a long-time ruler, so finding him shouldn't be difficult.
But even after I tried to tempt him with power, he remained unmoved...
She suddenly remembered the way Jun Ce looked at Zhai Rongyu, and her eyes darkened abruptly.
Perhaps... we should start with that woman.
She would find an opportunity to go to the human world and make him willingly return with her.
"Qinghe, let's go." Long Qianxue put her thoughts aside.
"Wow! Goodness! You're really something!" Qinghe clapped her hands.
Long Qianxue: ……
The seabed, the abode of dragons.
As soon as Long Qianxue returned to Bibo Yao Palace, she saw Long Mengyue sitting in her own hall.
"Sister, you're back." Long Mengyue stood up gracefully.
"What are you doing here?" Long Qianxue glanced at her, her tone unfriendly.
Long Mengyue covered her mouth with a smile, "Oh dear, it's just that Mother Consort was worried. Father King entrusted your marriage to me, and he was afraid you might do something rash, so he sent me here to check on you."
"Now it seems," she looked Long Qianxue up and down, "that you're doing very well, sister."
"I thought my sister had run away from home and wouldn't come back."
Qinghe clapped her hands involuntarily, "Hey! No, not at all!"
Long Mengyue chuckled, her gaze towards Qinghe slightly mocking, "What's wrong with your maid, sister? Has she lost her mind?"
Qinghe agreed, "That's about right."
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and his lips twitched like a bitter gourd.
She looked at Long Qianxue and, sure enough, saw that her expression had changed.
Long Qianxue angrily said, "Stop pretending! Get out of my palace right now!"
Does she not know what she and her mother are up to?!
They wish they could die out there forever!
Long Mengyue gave a flirtatious wink, seemingly annoyed, "Oh dear~ why are you throwing a tantrum again, sister?"
"It's because you're always so assertive that Brother Zhuochi agreed to the marriage exchange."
Qinghe couldn't help but clap her hands. "What you said makes sense."
The words had barely left her lips when she looked at Long Qianxue, her lips trembling, "Miss, that's not what I meant..."
Long Mengyue was delighted and circled around Qinghe as if she were looking at some precious treasure.
"Haha, my sister's maid is quite charming today."
Qinghe wanted to cry but had no tears.
Long Qianxue stood there biting her lip, trying her best to suppress her anger, her eyes flashing like swords as she looked at Qinghe.
The green lotus leaves trembled.
Long Mengyue pointed with one hand, and only then did Long Qianxue notice a dress hanging inside the hall.
"Sister, look, this is a dress that my mother and I specially picked out for you. When it's my engagement ceremony with Brother Zhuochi, we'll need you to come and give us your blessings."
"Sister, as the legitimate daughter of the dragon, you cannot be absent."
“Otherwise, people will say I’m petty.” She covered her mouth and laughed, the laughter grating.
Anger surged in Long Qianxue's eyes. She gathered water in her palm and slashed straight at the dress, instantly tearing the elaborate gown to shreds.
"Get out of here!!!"
Long Mengyue acted as if she hadn't heard, and ran to the shattered dress, exclaiming, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"It's just a marriage, sister, aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
"Father made a promise with Brother Zhuochi to marry the eldest daughter of the dragon. You and I are both eldest daughters. The one sitting on the throne now is my mother, not your mother who died young."
"Why do you resent me so much, sister?"
"If you have to blame someone, blame your mother for being so incompetent."
“Now that you’ve torn your dress, if Father finds out, he’ll be displeased.”
"Sister, why are you doing this?"
Looking at Long Mengyue's smug face, Long Qianxue wished she could strangle her on the spot with magic.
Jun Ce's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
A dark light flashed in Long Qianxue's eyes.
She sneered and sat down at the table with an air of nonchalance, as if her earlier anger had been nothing but an illusion. "Do you think that marrying Long Zhuochi will guarantee you a stable position as the Dragon Queen in the Dragon Palace?"
Long Mengyue's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
She sized up Long Qianxue and felt a little strange seeing that she hadn't gotten angry.
She originally thought that Long Qianxue would lose her temper and attack her, which would alert her father and ruin her completely.
Unexpectedly, Long Qianxue actually held back today.
Long Qianxue had no intention of telling her; she simply looked at her with a mocking smile.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Long Mengyue suddenly laughed, "Sister has lost the chance of winning, but she still has to put on a brave face."
"If you think that you can make me lose sleep and appetite by saying some nonsense, then you're in for a rude awakening."
She tossed the fragments of her dress aside, smoothed her hair, and said, "I won't chat with you anymore, I'm busy with the engagement, I'm not as leisurely as you are."
She raised her hand to her maid, "Let's go."
"Please welcome me." Qinghe clapped her hands enthusiastically and watched Long Mengyue leave the palace.
Her legs went weak and she knelt down, "Miss..."
Long Qianxue slammed the teacup down at her feet, yelling, "You eyesore, get out!"
Qinghe clapped her hands and took her leave with tears streaming down her face.
Long Qianxue dug her fingers into her palms, her eyes blazing with anger.
Long Zhuochi... Long Zhuochi actually agreed to change the marriage arrangement...
This was more hurtful than her father's decision.
Her sweet words from the past still echoed in her ears; her lips trembled, and her eyes were covered in red marks.
She suddenly thought of Jun Ce's tenderness towards Zhai Rongyu.
He helped her adjust her hairpins, helped her choose earrings, the way he looked at her, the gentle words he spoke to her…
That kind of man only had eyes for that woman, and even gave up his power to rule the world for her...
Why...why isn't he his own?
Long Qianxue's heart was filled with excitement.
No, she wants him!
She wanted him to become the Dragon King and trample Long Zhuochi, Long Mengyue, and her disgusting stepmother under his feet!
And she, Long Qianxue, will be his only Dragon Queen!
