Chapter 743 The elegant and sinister emperor vs. the revengeful princess (4)

Author: Qin Xiaozui

The atmosphere in Weiyang Palace is subtle.

Qin Rui frowned subconsciously when he heard Queen Chen's words, "Mother, this has nothing to do with Zhi'er."

Queen Chen laughed out loud, "Of course, even I will not touch the maid named Guo Zhi. After all, she is your royal grandmother's precious maid."

"But, Rui'er, you are already worth your weight in gold, and it is a good time to get married. What do you think, Princess Pingyang, with Prince Pingyang's thousands of soldiers and horses on your back?"

"Your Majesty is partial to your elder brother, and you don't know it, so if you want to get something, you have to seize the opportunity."

What was supposed to come came.

Qin Rui's hands trembled slightly when he heard the words, and he swallowed the words that reached his lips. He only lowered his eyes and whispered, "Everything is up to the mother."

Queen Chen nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on her face, and her tone softened a lot when she spoke again.

"When the time is right, I will mention your marriage in front of His Majesty. Prince Pingyang appreciates your talents. You and Princess Pingyang will definitely achieve good things."

Qin Rui was silent for a moment and then asked, "Zhi'er and I are in love, what should she do?"

Seeing that he was still a little moody, Empress Chen looked up at him and said slowly: "If you really like her that much, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to wait until Pingyang comes and then take that palace maid as your concubine?"

Qin Rui's face turned a little pale, "Well, how is this possible? Can't you be a concubine at the same time?"

"Look at you like this." Queen Chen interrupted him with a sneer, "Guo Zhi is just a palace maid, so why should she be your concubine? The candidate for your concubine can only be among the legitimate daughters of the courtiers.

Just don’t think about it.”

Qin Rui was silent, thinking of Ning Xi's attitude at the polo field today, then raised his head and asked, "What if Pingyang doesn't want to marry me?"

Although he knew that Pingyang was infatuated with him, what if she suddenly didn’t want to get married?

Empress Chen was a little annoyed by her son's appearance and sneered: "If she doesn't know how to praise her, I will certainly find a way. This is not something you should worry about."

"Get along with her more from now on, and don't think about hanging out with a palace maid every day!"

"How can you compete for the crown prince position if you're like this?!"

Qin Rui's back suddenly straightened, and then he left Weiyang Palace in a daze.

When Ning Xi was complaining about the scumbag to Tongzi, the housekeeper hurriedly came to complain.

"Princess, the prince wants you to go to the study to meet him."

Ning Xi tilted her head, "Father is looking for me?"

Suyun stood aside, the hair on his whole body stood on end, and his eyes were full of horror.

Oops

Could it be that the king knew about the incident at the polo ground?

In this case, the county king is very likely to be furious with the princess. What should I do?

But Ning Xi was thinking that the original owner's cold-blooded scumbag father Ning Lie must be looking for her because of her marriage to Qin Rui. He would not let go of any opportunity to enhance the family's glory.

"Princess.?" The old housekeeper looked puzzled. In the past, the princess would have gone to see the prince immediately, so why didn't she say anything today?

"Princess, the princess is waiting for you in the study."

Ning Xi said calmly, "Please tell father that I am very tired after leaving the palace and need to rest first."

"So, let's talk about it next time."

"What?!

Ah.This!!

The princess, who had always been obedient and obedient to the prince, actually rejected the prince.

After Ning Xi finished speaking, she asked Suyun to send the housekeeper out and closed the door with a bang.

The old housekeeper tremblingly went to the study to report the matter.

Ning Lie frowned when he heard this, feeling depressed in his heart.

My daughter is acting a little strange today.

She actually refused to give the Fourth Highness and the Fifth Princess face in the palace, and even avoided seeing him.

What the fuss is about.

Ning Lie thought for a moment and said, "Didn't a group of merchants from the outer lands enter Chang'an City, collect some jewelry and stuff, and send them to Qinshui Tower?"

"yes."

For the next period of time, Ning Xi changed her mind and stayed at home. Ning Lie rarely saw her shadow in the house.

Not to mention the two of them sitting down to talk.

Ning Lie thought of his daughter's weirdness and couldn't help but frown.

Is she ignoring the protest against herself?

As a princess, what else could she be dissatisfied with.

Ning Xi was playing with the little white cat in the yard, feeling relaxed, but Tongzi, who transformed into a little white cat, grabbed her hand.

[Host, there is no progress in your mission. You haven’t even met the target of your capture yet. Are you being a fool?]

Ning Xi snorted softly, "What's the rush? I have to let Daddy know that I don't agree with this marriage to Qin Rui."

At this moment, a worried Suyun came over with a plate of dried fish.

"Princess, are you really okay if you haven't seen the princess all this time?"

Later, the housekeeper came to urge her several times, but every time she refused to see him for various reasons.

"What should I do if the prince is angry?"

Ning Xi scratched the cat's chin, "Huh? Could it be that my father will kill me?"

Ning Lie only has a son and a daughter, so even if it's too late to make another one now, it's probably too late.

What's more, there are a lot of concubines in the house, and none of them have appeared in so many years. It is conceivable that he doesn't have the ability.

Therefore, as the only legitimate daughter of the county prince's palace, she is naturally the most effective chess piece in Ning Lie's marriage.

But after procrastinating for so many days, it’s time to meet Daddy.

…

Ning Xi sat down in the study, and Ning Lie glanced over.

"Xiao Xi, what's going on with you recently?"

Ning Xi put her fingers gently on the tea cup and spoke in a calm tone.

"Father, you must already know what I did at the polo ground. Do you want to know why I suddenly acted so arrogant in front of His Highness the Fourth Prince?"

"You must also feel that I have brought shame to the Ning family."

Ning Lie frowned when he heard this and slapped his palm on the case with a "bang" sound.

"presumptuous!"

Ning Xi was not afraid of his majesty and said bluntly: "If you don't dare, then I will have something to say."

"I don't want to marry Qin Rui."

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

After receiving permission, the person who came in was Ning Bairong, the younger brother of the original owner.

Ning Xi simply ignored this good-for-nothing younger brother who helped the heroine deal with her sister.

Her eyes fell firmly on Ning Lie, "Father, I don't want to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion and become the princess."

Before Ning Lie could say anything, Ning Borong said quickly: "Eldest sister, you can't turn down this marriage!"

If she breaks off the engagement, Zhi'er will definitely be devoted to His Highness the Fourth Prince. There will be no chance for him!

What's more, how could she break off the engagement for the sake of the county prince's palace?!

Ning Xi frowned, feeling disgusted and irritated when she saw Ning Borong's face.

This damn kid is truly invincible and selfish.

She looked at her good-for-nothing brother in a funny way, "Why do you interfere in my marriage?"

"Don't think that just because you are my brother, you can tell me what to do."

"You?" Ning Bairong looked shocked and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy?"

The siblings confronted each other, glaring at each other angrily, and Ning Lie slapped the case and got up.

"Shut up!"
