Chapter 144 You are a hopeless fool
She lifted her skirt and ran all the way to the Council Hall.

The young eunuch guarding the door saw Mianmian's figure coming back from afar.

He hurriedly pushed open the door and informed her: "Your Highness, Miss Ning is back!"

Inside the hall, Xiao Jingli was lying down to rest, and asked the ministers who came to discuss matters to find books to read, and in short, to not disturb him.

Upon learning that Mianmian had arrived, Xiao Jingli, who was originally lying on the couch with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up.

"Hurry! Stand up." He shouted, and the ministers who came to discuss matters with him hurriedly took out the memorials they brought with them.

When Mianmian came in, what she saw was Xiao Jingli ruling with dignity.

Now he is an adult, over twenty years old, and looks handsome.

He has sharp features, sword-like eyebrows, thin eyes, and a pair of tiger pupils that are intimidating without even being angry. He looks at everyone with a cold expression.

"Xiao Jingli!" Mianmian called him by his name. "Tell them to leave. I have something to ask you."

Xiao Jingli pretended to be dissatisfied: "Let's talk about it later. I'm discussing politics."

Mianmian glared and seemed to be about to lose her temper, so Xiao Jingli finally compromised and waved his sleeves to signal the ministers to leave first.

After they left and closed the door, Mianmian asked, "Why did you tell the Queen that you were willing to marry me as the Crown Princess? Aren't you a traitor? I treated you so well, but you repaid my kindness with hatred!"

Xiao Jingli's eyebrows suddenly raised, and his eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.

"How can marrying me be considered repaying kindness with enmity?"

"You are confused, we are the fox and the tiger!"

Xiao Jingli: ...

He stared at her, as if there was something pent up in his chest.

Mianmian blinked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jingli stood up and approached step by step, his handsome face and dark eyes were gloomy.

Mianmian subconsciously stepped back until she was against the table and had nowhere to go.

Xiao Jingli sneered: "When you were controlling me and restraining me, why didn't you say that we were a fox and a tiger? Besides, only our souls are different, what are the other differences? We have both cultivated human bodies, what impact does it have?"

"Ning Mianmian, you don't think that I'm still here because I really want the throne, do you? If you weren't here, I would have left long ago. What's the point of playing house with them!"

The deep voice was filled with anger.

Mianmian blinked twice innocently, never expecting that he would suddenly get angry.

"Why are you angry... We can talk about it."

"I talked to you, did you listen? I said I wanted to take you away, but you refused. You wanted to stay and help create the so-called Great Yan prosperity. Fine, I can agree to this as well."

Xiao Jingli frowned: "But now you say that marrying me is repaying kindness with enmity? Do you hate me that much?!"

Mianmian was confused.

"I don't hate you, I just think we definitely can't get married."

"Why? What's the reason?"

Mianmian was almost dumbfounded by what he said, why did she need a reason?

I have never heard of a tiger and a fox getting married.

But if you really asked her to point out what was wrong, she couldn't say it.

"No one in our fox tribe marries a tiger."

"Then you can be the first one."

Mianmian: ...

She was a little angry: "Xiao Jingli, can you be serious? Do you know that marrying someone means a lot? It's not enough just because you think it's fun."

"Whether in the mortal world or the three realms, becoming a couple is not a decision that can be made lightly."

Xiao Jingli finally understood.

This fox thought he was joking and playing a joke!

His face suddenly turned cold and he stared at Mianmian's thin eyes, which gradually became filled with the golden color of a tiger's pupils.

Mianmian was alert: "What are you going to do? I tell you, if you hit me, I will..."

Xiao Jingli held her cheeks with both hands, sealed her words with a kiss, and swallowed the rest of her words.

The little girl was really stunned. What was Xiao Jingli doing? Was he going to eat people? !

It was not until he bit her tongue that Mianmian came to her senses with the pain.

She pushed him away violently, her eyes widened with fear: "Didn't you stop eating people a long time ago? What are you doing now?!"

Xiao Jingli was almost laughing because of her.

"In your eyes, I am just an uncivilized man-eating tiger, right? You hopeless idiot, I am kissing you, don't you understand what I mean?"

Mianmian blinked twice in a daze: "I don't quite understand..."

When Xiao Jingli was in the palace, she could see how the emperor doted on his concubines, and she could also see other princes and their princesses going out together.

He already knows more than Mianmian.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice: "I know the meaning of marrying someone much better than you do. If I don't like you, why should I marry you?"

"I don't like you, so why should I listen to you and discuss politics? Why should I fight for the throne? I fight for it because you want me to!"

"Actually, I'm not interested in anything here. If you weren't here, I would have left five years ago."

Mianmian looked at him, and her mind gradually became clear.

Xiao Jingli actually really wanted to marry her!
Oh no, she is liked by a tiger!

Mianmian’s first reaction was to go back to Qingqiu and ask the high priest whether this was against the rules.

She took a deep breath.

"But, Xiao Jingli, my mission is to save the reincarnation of King Zhou and help him create a prosperous era. This is very important and is related to the life and death of my people. In order to lift the curse, I must support you."

"Once the mission here is completed, I will return to Qingqiu. We may never meet again. I cannot promise you anything, so I cannot agree to marry you."

Xiao Jingli stared at her with dark eyes: "Marry me, is there any conflict with helping this dynasty prosper?"

"Yes, we in the fox tribe can only have one partner in our lifetime. If I marry you here, I won't be able to explain to my future husband when I return to the fox tribe."

People all think foxes are fickle, but in fact foxes are monogamous.

Xiao Jingli frowned.

After a while, he finally laughed at himself.

"Well, now that you've brought it up, I have nothing to worry about. You don't have to worry about it. I won't mention it again."

After saying that, Xiao Jingli turned around and left the door.

Mianmian chased after him: "Xiao Jingli, Xiao..."

He jumped directly onto the roof, cast a spell, and disappeared in mid-air.

Mianmian stood in the corridor. The autumn wind blew and the weather became gloomy. It was going to rain.

She frowned. At this moment, for some reason, she always felt sad.

Why did she feel bad after rejecting Xiao Jingli?
After returning home, the two younger brothers immediately surrounded him.

"Sister, my third brother was scolded by the teacher in the school today. He is not as smart as me."

"Sister, don't listen to my second brother's nonsense. He was punished by the teacher for climbing a tree with Youyou!"

Normally, Mianmian would happily chat with them, but this time, the girl just hummed weakly.

"You guys play by yourselves. Sister is tired and wants to rest."

The two little ones looked at each other and looked at Mianmian's back.

"Third brother, why is sister unhappy?"

"I don't know... Let's go tell Mom!"

Mianmian fell on the soft couch in the room, and Xiao Jingli's words kept echoing in her mind.

She suddenly felt that she was a little selfish.

If Xiao Jingli stayed because he liked her, she couldn't give him any response.

They also force him to be emperor here.

Hey……

At this time, Chen Qingyin knocked on the door: "Mianmian, are you asleep?"

I’m afraid that everyone will find it unfamiliar to use Ning Mianmian after Mianmian changed her name, so I will use Mianmian instead in the following text!
