Chapter 746 Elegant black-bellied uncle vs vengeful princess (7)
Chapter 746 The elegant and sinister emperor vs. the revengeful princess (7)
Author: Qin Xiaozui
As soon as Ning Xi got on the carriage, Tongzi's electric sound came out immediately.
[Host, why don’t you say a few more words to Qin Yuan and leave now?]
Ning Xi rested her chin with one hand, "What's there to say? This is the first time I've met him, and we have different identities. Talking more will arouse his suspicion."
Looking at his elegant appearance, it is certainly not easy to reach his current position. This kind of old fox is the shrewdest.
[But host, if you don’t take action, Qin Yuan will be granted a marriage by the emperor. Prime Minister Li Wenzhong and Taifu Liu want to get Qin Yuan to join his side. They support the third prince Qin Che.
Do you want to see Qin Yuan marry Liu Yanrui, Liu Taifu’s legitimate daughter?]
Ning Xi held up her chin. The third prince's mother, Concubine Shu, was Li Wenzhong's younger sister. If the marriage was adopted, it would indeed be able to provide Qin Che with a lot of help.
But in the last life, Qin Yuan never married Liu Yanrui, and the position of prince did not belong to Qin Che.
Although Qin Yuan has the ability to refuse marriage, she might as well use this to get in touch with him
After thinking about it, Ning Xi felt happy.
The empress and Ning Lie are very close. It is impossible for her to be bound to Qin Rui by the marriage decree like in her previous life. It will be difficult to break off the engagement by then. It is better to plan early and make a clear break with Qin Rui first.
Limit and then plan others.
…
Qin Yuan didn't know at this time that he had been tricked by a little girl. After the morning court, he left in a car as usual and never thought of catching up with anyone.
Prime Minister Li Wenzhong greeted him personally and said, "King Yuan, please be patient."
Qin Yuan stepped forward and bowed, and the two exchanged a few words.
Li Wenzhong saw the opportunity and said: "A new batch of tea has arrived in the house. Can Prince Yuan go to the humble place to taste some of it?"
Qin Yuan smiled calmly and declined:
"Prime Minister Li is being too modest. It's not because of me that I won't go. It's because I'm busy with official duties."
Even though Li Wenzhong was unhappy, he still said goodbye with a smile.
He teamed up with Taifu Liu and deliberately betrothed Taifu Liu's legitimate daughter to Qin Yuan, hoping to win her over to become His Highness's wing. Unexpectedly, King Yuan refused to accept the offer.
However, if they petitioned His Majesty to grant a marriage, how could King Yuan disobey the order?
Qin Yuan got on the carriage and pinched his eyebrows with one hand.
At this time, his mind was a little uncertain, his eyes were slightly squinted, and a little tiredness could be seen between his brows.
He couldn't help but think of the hard things he had experienced over the years. It was not that he didn't want to marry a well-behaved and sensible wife.
It's just that in the court, the emperor is eyeing him. Nothing is more important than life. Therefore, he gradually loses focus on marrying a wife as he approaches his thirtieth year.
Qin Yuan got off the carriage and returned to his house. Although he was so clean, the house was a little too clean.
At this moment, the butler handed over an invitation.
"Your Majesty, this is the invitation sent by Princess Pingyang."
Qin Yuan took the post.
Princess Pingyang?
The little girl's smile and her bowed head flashed in my mind.
Qin Yuan did not open the invitation and read it carefully at the first time. Instead, he went back and put on a shirt and leaned leisurely on a soft chair. He held the invitation in his hand and read it nonchalantly.
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, after reading the invitation, he suddenly raised his eyes and smiled, giving people a calm and relaxed feeling.
This little girl actually wanted to ask him to meet at Ganquan Villa.
Very courageous.
Qin Yuan thought that he would take a rest tomorrow and go out for a walk instead of working in the mansion. It happened that Ganquan Villa was a property in his name.
…
It was just dawn, and an ordinary dark blue carriage drove straight towards the city gate.
Ning Xi asked Suyun to pretend that she was staying at the Prince's Mansion, and took a carriage out of the city alone. More than an hour later, she arrived at Ganquan Villa and entered a unique courtyard surrounded by flowers and trees as scheduled.
The courtyard is brightly lit and there are servants greeting you.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan came earlier than her, served tea and snacks, and then left.
Ning Xi looked at him sitting in front of the stone table with his robe lifted, and nodded to her, "Miss Ning, please sit down."
When she looked over, she happened to meet his deep eyes and saw the smile on his lips.
A ray of sunlight fell on the flower tree and reflected it, making her face whiter and her lips rosy.
Ning Xi said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you."
"What's the matter?" Qin Yuan asked.
He really couldn't guess what she was thinking. They were strangers to each other and had no interests involved.
Ning Xi, "It's a big matter of marriage."
Qin Yuan chuckled softly when he heard this.
"Miss Ning wants to discuss marriage with me?"
If he remembered correctly, the whole court must be waiting for the happy event of Princess Pingyang and His Highness the Fourth Prince.
interesting.
"That's right." Ning Xi nodded solemnly, and she mustered up the courage to say:
"Your Majesty, you should know that the engagement between me and His Highness Fourth Highness is barely on the table. It's just that by some strange combination of circumstances, he has someone else he likes. Although I'm not talented, I'm not willing to be married to someone else."
"I also heard that the prince is clean and self-sufficient, and is very handsome and elegant. I wonder if you are willing to marry me?"
Qin Yuan smiled slightly and raised his eyes to meet those almond-shaped eyes.
"Miss Ning is only eighteen years old. She is far older than me. In my opinion, she is not suitable."
"In my opinion, it's wonderful." Ning Xi said: "I lost my mother when I was ten years old, and my father remarried me. Although I am the princess of Pingyang and I have a distinguished status, my father wants to send me to the palace to earn a future. This shows that I
I am alone, without my own mother to support me. Prince Yuan has been baptized in the court, and he is in a high and powerful position. He also knows my difficulties."
"What's more, the Fourth Highness has his heart set on something. If I marry him, I will be left out in the cold in the future, and I may be ridiculed by others."
"It's not difficult." Qin Yuan said: "You are the Princess of Pingyang. You have a noble status and a strong voice. You can bully others and do whatever you want."
"When the time comes, who dares to compete with you for favor?"
After hearing his words, Ning Xi felt dizzy and even blushed.
Is this guy teaching her to bully others?
She was startled. In order to reject her, there was no need to do this.
Ning Xi bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. Otherwise, why would I have invited you here to have a detailed discussion?"
Qin Yuan took a sip of tea and naturally knew that if she had no intention of marrying him, why would she talk nonsense here? After so many years in court, how could he still understand this little girl's thoughts?
I just wanted to make her anxious, and it was fun to look at her round almond eyes.
"Oh? There are so many young masters of the right age in Chang'an City, why did you choose me?"
Ning Xi thought for a while and said: "It's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. If I can get married to Prince Yuan, what's the point of fearing the threats from others?"
Qin Yuan chuckled softly, "You treat me as a shade tree, but why do I want to marry you?"
Ning Xi secretly cursed Qin Yuan as an old fox, but she spoke in a coquettish tone.
"You have been alone all this time, don't you want this marriage that comes from heaven?"
"What's more, what's more, I am the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City!"
The smile in Qin Yuan's eyes gradually grew stronger.
I feel like she is getting more and more interesting.
He stood up and did not tease her any more. He only said: "Miss Ning is right. I will think about it later."
"Yeah!" Ning Xi responded, "You really need to be more cautious when it comes to marriage."
"I'm waiting for your reply."
