PRECIOUS PRINCESS

SEVENTY TWO

"You proposed to me?" asked Xuan Lan.

"Yes, it's more or less like that" said Prince Hao with a smile.

•••

The women wanted to shout when they saw Prince Hao's sweet smile. Who is the woman who does not want him? The Tang Empire was already very famous for its wealth because the gold contained in its land was also prince Hao who had a sweet face.

"This man wanted to propose but was impressed to force once" Xuan Lan's inner self as she looked at Prince Hao.

"I'm very honored that the crown prince of the Tang empire is willing to make me queen there" Xuan Lan said.

Prince Hao smiled, he thought Xuan Lan would accept his proposal. Xuan Lan then continued her words.

"But sorry, I can't accept your proposal" Xuan Lan said politely.

The person inside the hall was shocked to hear Xuan Lan's refusal. They thought that Xuan Lan would instantly accept the proposal of crown prince Tang Hao because of their mind that assumed all women would submit to the wealth that the Tang empire possessed but it turned out that their assumptions were wrong.

Prince Hao remained calm.

"If you may know what the underlying reason is that you rejected my proposal?" tanyakanya.

"You are, it is up to him to accept or reject you that he obviously does not want you to apply" said prince Li Xian ketus, he is still not willing if his sister should get married immediately.

"True, if he doesn't want you can't force him to explain the reason he has" said prince Zhan no less, he's just like Prince Xian, it is not acceptable if his little brother should get married in the near future.

Prince Hao scratched his non-itchy nape. He looks like he's going to have a pretty big problem.

"It would be wrong if I wanted to know the reason" he asked himself inwardly.

"Gege, there's no need to overdo it like that. I'll explain my reasons" Xuan Lan said with a mocking smile.

"Once again I apologize to crown prince Tang Hao. Not that I want to demean you, I rejected your proposal because I already have the person I love" Xuan Lan said with a smile.

"Don't love come from getting used to it, princess Xuan Lan?" asked Prince Hao again, he still had not given up apparently.

Prince Xian and prince Zhan had already wanted to come forward and beat up the prince of Tang Hao whom they thought was disrespectful but they were still being held back by Xuan Lan.

Xuan Lan shook her head facing prince Hao.

"Not everything we want will go smoothly. Not everyone who is married without love can be loving his partner, there are two possibilities there that he even hates his partner or loves his partner. The hearts of people no one knows" Xuan Lan said.

"Now I ask you, how would you feel if you already had a wife who was always next to you while her heart still belonged to someone else?" xuan Lan asked Prince Hao.

Prince Hao stuttered slightly. He is confused what to answer because he does not want his partner in the period of loving another man not himself.

Prince Hao returned Xuan Lan's gaze.

"I can't if it has to be like that" he said.

Xuan Lan smiled, she then said again.

"I'm sure you'll find a partner who loves you very much later"

"Thank you. If you can find out who that guy is?" ask Prince Hao again.

"You're so disrespectful!" jolt prince Zhan while standing up.

"Gege, stop" Xuan Lan said softly.

Prince Zhan sat back down while staring intently at Prince Hao.

"He's just an ordinary person, I didn't know he was a prince or a commoner but it seems like he's just an ordinary person" Xuan Lan said.

"What makes you love him?" ask Prince Hao again.

"Because of her sincerity" Xuan Lan said with a smile imagining how sincere the man who had always helped her was.

"Isn't it a secret if I've lived in a demon forest?" asked Xuan Lan who was possessed by everyone inside there.

"Yes, I'm just like you guys even I don't believe. People say the demon forest is the most sinister place, if you dare to set foot there then you will be bullied by various wild animals that are there or at least someone who died as a collision if you go there in crowds, isn't that so eunuch An and emperor Xiao?" xuan Lan asked Eunuch An and emperor Xiao. Then they nodded their heads.

While there were indeed some soldiers who disappeared for what reason. It was still like a mystery, as well as that of Emperor Li. He also lost some of his soldiers plus he met with a herd of robbers who would finish off his army.

"But I didn't experience it at all. I doubt even the words of the people who thought the demon forest was so scary that I could live there for two years without the slightest injury that was on my body as well as the uncle and aunt who accompanied me. My uncle even searches every day for prey but he never gets hurt, isn't that weird?"

"It turns out that as long as I've been there there's been a man protecting me ever since I got in there. I don't even know why he's protecting me and you know what the answer is?" xuan Lan's remark again made people shake their heads.

"He said he loved me" Xuan Lan said.

"I had time to think, why would he want to love me who was still ugly and could not do anything. He just said he loved me because he saw me have a good heart. My question is how can he think if I have a good heart? What if I was a bad person? But he really believed that I was a good person"

"He was so sincere with me that there was no reason why I didn't love him. If there wasn't him, maybe I wouldn't be in front of you right now" Xuan Lan said softly, recalling the Zhao she hadn't seen in a long time. He misses that guy very much.

Xuan Lan's words seemed to slap the person who was there. They think that loving someone is only because of their rank, wealth and face. They don't know that sincerity can beat everything.

"It's a good thing that Tian Gege didn't try to propose to Xuan Lan" Wang Yu Yan told his eldest brother, who was little replied by the Tian prince.

"Who wants to propose to Xuan Lan's daughter?" whispered prince Tian.

"You, who else is it? I know you like Lala, no need to be shy I will keep this secret" said Yu Yan teased the prince Tian who had blushed his face.

Wang Yu Yan laughed heartily upon seeing the embarrassed reaction shown by his gege. He did not expect that his gege could behave like this as well.

"Shut up!" prince Tian was upset.

"Fine I will be quiet" Yu Yan said as he held back his laughter.

On the other hand Xiao Xi was like having a chance to humiliate Xuan Lan. He laughed out loud across there.

"Well, Xuan Lan's daughter turned out to have a lover while she was in the demon forest" Xiao Xi said.

Xuan Lan stared lazily at the person.

"He's not my girlfriend. I admit we do love each other but I don't want to be tied to her yet" Xuan Lan said.

"Yes, it's up to the most important thing that you love each other let alone that you are in the demon forest only together with your servants and guards" Xiao Xi said.

Xuan Lan still held back the remark of Xiao Xi who called her uncle and aunt her guards and servants but she actually did not accept it all.

"Xiao Xi is stupid! I've said many times that they're my uncle and my aunt's not my servant"

"You can do whatever you want there including upss" Xiao Xi said as she closed her lips using her hands.

"You know what I mean, right?" xiao Xi asked trying to provoke the situation there.

Xuan Lan started to know the direction of Xiao Xi's conversation. Apparently he wanted to vilify Xuan Lan's name before the crowd.

"Truely so, especially the servants will obey their employers"

"Yes, I didn't expect it"

"Can it happen, no one can guarantee"

Whispers of people around there. Xuan Lan started to get caught off guard by this kind of circumstance. He never even kissed Zhao. They are close but rarely make physical contact. They only once hugged and Zhao kissed Xuan Lan's hand at that.

"What do you mean?" snapped at Prince Xian who made everyone jump from his place.

"I-I was just guessing prince Xian" Xiao Xi said stammered, recalling that when she was slapped by prince Xian she used to make him shudder in horror.

"What is it, huh? You want to accuse my sister of doing nothing, huh?" snapped Prince Zhan while pounding his desk which again made people surprised.

"You mean***ta?" asked Xuan Lan flatly.
