The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 360 - 356: The Demon Lord Gets Tricked Again

Upon hearing Gao Yan’s shout, Ruo Xuan woke up.

Ruo Xuan had a dream where the Divine Lord Xuanyuan knelt on one knee and proposed to her, asking her to marry him and become his partner.

He had also said he would grant her a lifetime of carefree happiness.

In the dream, Divine Lord Xuanyuan kissed her and promised to take care of her for a lifetime.

What a bizarre dream!

She usually didn’t dream.

Why would Divine Lord Xuanyuan kiss her?

She suffered so much because of him, yet, when she retaliated, it angered him to the point of ignoring her!

He felt that she had offended him.

"Xuanbao!" Gao Yan’s voice called again.

Ruo Xuan came back to her senses, only then noticing the Xuancao Flower forged from gold in her arms and the snow-white rabbit fur carpet beneath her.

Ruo Xuan laughed!

The Xuancao Flower on her was definitely given by Divine Lord Xuanyuan, imbued with his protective power and full of the essence of sunshine.

It was Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s scent!

Warm and pleasing to the heart.

It was Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s power!

Strong yet subtle, invincible.

Only Divine Lord Xuanyuan could transform the Peony Flower into her likeness.

Ruo Xuan examined the Xuancao Flower carefully, its interior was radiant and dazzling, and astonishingly, there were some words flowing within.

Ruo Xuan glanced at it and saw it was a vow.

Ruo Xuan laughed again!

Divine Lord Xuanyuan couldn’t make vows lightly, because once made, he couldn’t break them without facing divine retribution.

Ruo Xuan decided to forgive Divine Lord Xuanyuan.

"Xuanbao! So you were here! I’ve been looking for you everywhere!"

The protective formation that Xuanyuan Que had laid disappeared as Ruo Xuan woke up.

Gao Yan walked in.

Ruo Xuan said with a smile, "I accidentally fell asleep."

Gao Yan then noticed the golden flower in Ruo Xuan’s hand.

"Eh, Xuanbao, the flower in your hand is different from mine. Did the Ninth Prince give it to you?"

Ruo Xuan smiled beautifully and nodded, "Yes. No one else could make such a Xuancao Flower but him."

"The Ninth Prince really cares for you; he even prepared a separate golden flower. It’s so beautiful!"

Gao Yan and the others all knew that Xuanbao’s clothes were gifts from the Ninth Prince.

The fabric was unique in the world, warm in winter, cool in summer, never fading, and impervious to both water and fire.

They also knew that the Ninth Prince always made grilled meat for Xuanbao.

It was hard to imagine that the Ninth Prince, who seemed aloof from worldly needs, could grill meat and that too deliciously!

Benefitting from Xuanbao’s favor, they had the fortune to taste it a few times, and it was unforgettable for a lifetime!

At that moment, Zhu Yan and a few others also found their way over.

"Xuanbao, so you were here, we’ve been looking everywhere for you."

"The banquet has started, Xuanbao, where did you go just now?"

Ruo Xuan: "I accidentally fell asleep, let’s go!"

Then everyone else also saw the flowers in Ruo Xuan and Gao Yan’s hands.

No need to mention Ruo Xuan’s, daring to turn the Peony into Xuancao Flower, besides the Ninth Prince, no one else could.

Everyone was curious about who gave the flower in Gao Yan’s hand.

Gao Yan: "I don’t know whose it is. I found it next to the rockery."

Ruo Xuan glanced at it, "This flower is Xuanyuan Jie’s."

Gao Yan: "Xuanbao, how do you know?"

Ruo Xuan wanted to say she smelled it, but couldn’t, so she pointed at the characters on the stem, "There are characters."

Gao Yan looked and indeed there was a character for ’Jie’.

Gao Yan thought to herself, wasn’t Xuanyuan Jie interested in Xuanbao?

Could it be that seeing the Ninth Prince giving Xuanbao the flower, and Xuanbao accepting it, he felt so disheartened that he simply threw his own flower away?

No, even so, there was no need to throw the flower away.

It must be that Xuanyuan Jie was about to give the flower to Xuanbao when the Ninth Prince appeared.

Without uttering a word and merely glancing at him, the Ninth Prince made him so frightened that he threw the flower away and fled!

Gao Yan felt she really understood!

Gao Yan felt a bit sympathetic towards Xuanyuan Jie.

Who would compete with the ninth prince?

He wasn’t even a match for a single finger of the ninth prince!

Speaking of which, the fingers of the ninth prince were quite attractive.

Xuanyuan Jie truly wasn’t a match even for the ninth prince’s fingers.

A few girls chatted and laughed on their way to Enhua Hall.

Only women dined in Enhua Hall, and since there were no men, Ruo Xuan was a bit disappointed not to see Xuanyuan Que.

She really wanted to tell Divine Lord Xuanyuan how happy she was!

During the meal, the Empress Dowager was still considering which consort to choose for the eighth prince, finding it hard to decide.

Several women were keen on becoming the consort of the eighth prince.

The highest in status among them was the daughter of a official from the Ministry of Personnel, while the lowest was the daughter of a seventh-rank official.

The Empress Dowager didn’t place much importance on status, focusing instead on character, but character couldn’t be discerned from a single interaction.

She too was struggling with the decision and asked Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, who do you think should be selected as the prince’s consort for Xiaoba?"

Ruo Xuan silently asked the Demon Lord Little White Dog, "Which lady do you want as your princess consort?"

The Demon Lord didn’t fancy any of them, how could any of these vulgar women be worthy of him?

Little White Dog barked back at Ruo Xuan, "Didn’t you previously want to choose me as your consort for the eighth prince?"

Don’t think he didn’t know!

He had eavesdropped!

Ruo Xuan naturally replied, "Yes, I was thinking if Divine Lord Xuanyuan didn’t choose me, I would choose you, but since Divine Lord Xuanyuan has chosen me now, I cannot choose you."

"Reject him, choose me! I don’t want to marry a common mundane woman!" said the Demon Lord angrily.

Ruo Xuan honestly replied, "No. You can’t defeat Divine Lord Xuanyuan, and you aren’t as handsome as Divine Lord Xuanyuan."

She wasn’t foolish!

Demon Lord: "..."

The Demon Lord barked furiously.

What do you mean he can’t defeat Xuanyuan Que?

If it hadn’t been for that dippy flower tripping him, would he have lost to Xuanyuan Que?

He’s not as handsome as Xuanyuan Que? He had never found that dippy flower unattractive!

What kind of taste does Xuanyuan Que have, choosing such an ugly and silly flower?

There are countless more beautiful Flower Fairies in all corners of the world!

Ruo Xuan got angry too!

Among the flowers, she certainly wasn’t the prettiest! But she was neither ugly nor silly!

"Will you choose or not? If you don’t, I’ll randomly choose one for you! Anyway, whoever you choose, it’s all the same!"

"You dare?"

So Ruo Xuan said to the Empress Dowager, "I think he would like that lady in yellow."

If he dared call her ugly, she would pick an ugly wife for him! freewēbnoveℓ.com

Just right, that woman was oppressed and bullied by her stepmother at home, desperately seeking a way out.

Empress Dowager: "..."

The lady in yellow was one of the least attractive and lowest in family background among the women.

However, the Empress Dowager thought again and felt that Ruo Xuan had made a good choice. Given the current situation of the eighth prince, it indeed wasn’t good to choose a high-status or too beautiful woman.

A lower family status, not daring to cause trouble, would devote herself wholeheartedly to caring for Xiaoba.

"Xuanbao’s choice must be the best."

Ruo Xuan smiled, "Exactly, that lady and the eighth prince are a match made in heaven!"

Demon Lord: "..."

He had been tricked by that dippy flower again!

If he had known, he would have chosen himself!

On the men’s side, during his meal, the emperor publicly asked several princes and nephews if they had sent out the flowers.

Everyone said they had sent out the flowers.

The emperor didn’t offer the same consideration as the Empress Dowager, nor did he allow other women the chance to refuse.

Or perhaps, the emperor knew no woman would refuse, nor dared to refuse.

Thus, the emperor instructed the eunuch by his side to check which ladies had received the flowers, record it, and then he would issue the decreed marriage.

The edicts for each prince’s marriage had already been prepared by the Hanlin Academy, now only needing a name to be filled in.

In other words, the marriage edicts could be issued as soon as the female contestants left the palace.
