Chapter 160 It's Either Me or You
Ah Ying smiled and danced lightly to the sound of the pipa. Her eyes were burning and intense as she stared directly at Helan Cha, not caring about Xie Chengyi's warning look.

As the music rises and falls, her dance moves are sometimes graceful and soft, sometimes passionate and enthusiastic, like duckweed on the water, drifting with the waves, or like the bright moon in the mountains, cool and clear.

Xiao Wenzhang watched intently, appreciating Ah Ying's dancing, posture, and appearance with great interest...

Sheng Xinlan felt a little relieved when she saw the string of red agate, but when she saw Xiao Wenzhan, her mood became turbulent again.

Xie Chengyi glanced at Helan Cha, and saw that Helan Cha's expression changed from the initial pleasant look to a gloomy and uncontrollable look.

I couldn't help but wonder, why is this?

Ah Ying's dance is soft, charming, delicate and pretty, and the more you watch it, the more you will feel reluctant to leave.

Even Xiao Jiyao, a woman, felt upset when she saw this. She calmed her pounding heart and looked at Xie Chengyi's expression, feeling a little jealous. However, thinking that Huo Aying was like this in order to be chosen, it was also a happy result.

The dance ends.

Aying breathed slightly and looked at Helancha with burning eyes.

Xiao Wenzhang was the first to cheer: "Good!"

Ah Ying looked at Helan Cha with shy eyes.

Everyone present turned their eyes to Xie Chengyi again.

This look of scrutiny and anticipation almost made Xie Chengyi become autistic, with a gloomy face throughout the whole process.

Helan Cha's initial look of admiration when looking at Aying gradually turned into a complicated and unclear look.

"Aying's dance is very good!" Xiao Wenzhang clapped his hands and exclaimed.

Sheng Xinlan also smiled and said, "It's really good!"

Xiao Jiyao could hardly hold back and said, "Aying is a famous talented woman in Northern Jin. She is not only beautiful and good at dancing, but also very smart."

Helancha smiled warmly.

Sheng Xinlan was afraid that Helan Cha would despise Ah Ying's background, and perhaps she wanted to protect her daughter too much, so she said immediately: "Ah Ying is gentle and considerate, and I love her very much. If she is lucky enough to marry Prince Helan, I will definitely treat her as a princess!"

Xiao Wenzhan’s face froze.

Xiao Jiyao's face was even more stunned.

Xie Chengyi's face became even gloomier.

Ah Ying seized the opportunity and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort! Ah Ying is grateful and would never expect too much!"

Now, all eyes turned to Helan Cha.

Originally, Helan Cha added Aying to the marriage list just to provoke Xie Chengyi. However, Xie Chengyi was willing to offer Aying for the sake of people's stability; the emperor and the imperial concubine also wanted to push Aying away for the sake of their own daughters; and Xiao Jiyao even wanted to murder Aying in order to get Xie Chengyi.

Just when everyone thought that Helan Cha would definitely choose Huo A Ying to give Xie Cheng Yi a good slap on the face, Helan Cha stood up and looked at Xiao Wen Zhang, "Your Majesty! When my emperor came, he also told your Majesty that Nan Jing wanted to marry the third princess. Why didn't I see the third princess today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Wenzhan and Sheng Xinlan's faces changed drastically.

"Or does Northern Jin have no sincerity in the marriage proposal?" Helan Cha immediately looked at Xiao Wenzhan with gloomy eyes.

Sheng Xinlan tightly grasped her handkerchief and called out in a low voice with anxiety: "Your Majesty..."

But as Helan Cha continued to look, Xiao Wen Zhang realized that Helan Cha was not asking casually.

Under Ji Yao's maintenance, Nanchu has basically become peaceful and there will be no conflicts in the short term.

Nanjing, on the other hand, has had friction with Northern Jin for many years. More importantly, the five sons born to the late emperor of Nanjing, except for the current emperor, are all brave and good at fighting, especially the little prince Helancha, who is deeply loved by His Majesty Nanjing. Therefore, Helancha's wife is more noble than other royal relatives. The person who married this time must have enough patience and a strong family to maintain order to calm the situation.

Ah Ying's strength...is a little weak after all.

Originally, I thought that if Helan Cha liked A Ying, I could give it a try and let Bei Jin rest and recuperate for a while. Even if a fight broke out again, only A Ying would be hurt.

But Helancha actually fixed his eyes on Chuyi. How could he refuse?
"Northern Jin naturally wants to get along with Southern Jing in a friendly manner. Chuyi was not feeling well today, so she did not attend. After she recovers, she will naturally meet with Prince Helan." Xiao Wenzhan said with a serious face.

Helancha was smart and knew that it was Xiao Wenzhang's excuse, so he nodded and said, "The New Year is coming soon, Your Majesty, please hurry up!"

There was a gloom in Xiao Wenzhang's eyes.

Sheng Xinlan softened at once, her heart aching beyond words. How could she bear to send her daughter into the fire pit?
Perhaps fearing that the situation would become more embarrassing, Xiao Wen Zhang immediately stood up. Under Xiao Wen Zhang's slightly cold gaze, Sheng Xinlan also stood up unwillingly.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" everyone responded.

Aying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she would not be chosen by Helan Cha.

Xie Chengyi's expression was not completely relaxed. The moment he looked into Aying's eyes, he felt that something in his heart was gradually mended.

Xiao Jiyao looked at Helan Cha in disbelief, staring at him intently, but with so many people present, how could she accuse him?

out of the hall.

To be safe, Aying went back first.

Xiao Jiyao was pushed forward by Fanggu.

"Xie Chengyi!" Xiao Jiyao called out.

Xie Chengyi turned around and saw the anxious look on Xiao Jiyao's face.

"your Highness."

Xiao Jiyao immediately asked, "Where is Huo Aying?"

Xie Chengyi said calmly: "A Ying has returned home."

Xiao Jiyao felt that it was not worth it for Xie Chengyi and said, "Look at how she looked on the field. She wanted to throw herself into Helan Cha's arms. How could you allow her to return to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xie Chengyi's eyes moved, looking at Xiao Jiyao's aggressive appearance, he felt a little sorry in his heart, "A Ying is just following the emperor's order, if he keeps a cold face throughout the whole process, wouldn't it be suspected of disobeying the emperor's order?"

Xiao Jiyao was stunned when she heard this. Shouldn't Xie Chengyi spit on her? So, she changed her tone and said, "That's not what I meant. I think that since you defended her like that in the hall, she should defend your reputation even if she dies."

Xie Chengyi's brows twitched, and he realized that he and Jiyao were really out of sync. The two had completely different understandings of the matter. "She is she, and I am me. I don't have to ask for a response for what I do for her. As for the face you mentioned, maybe I thought it was very important a long time ago, but now, we need to deal with the matter objectively."

She wanted to stand up for Xie Chengyi, but ended up getting such a response from Xie Chengyi. Xiao Jiyao felt that her sincerity had been betrayed. "It seems that you really fell in love with her..."

Xie Chengyi did not respond further.

Turn around and leave.

Xiao Jiyao was instantly furious.

“Why? Huo Aying hurt him so much, why is he still so obsessed???” Xiao Jiyao roared.

Looking at Xie Chengyi's back, Xiao Jiyao's blood boiled, and she said with red eyes: "Huo Aying, in this life, either I or you!"

There is only one chapter today. Please bear with me. I have been a little anxious recently. Thank you for your support.
