Su Yuehua didn't even finish her words. The matchmaker who had just been squeezed out ran out waving her handkerchief and said, "That's right, Mr. Number One Scholar, you'd better say another girl, or just a girl from another family."
The second Miss Ning will do it too. The third Miss Ning is the one wanted by Prince Xing’s Mansion, why would you risk your own future for a woman?”
Indeed, in anyone's opinion, this is a bad deal. But looking at Qi Yue, he doesn't seem to care much.
"If she is willing to marry me, I will fight for her future." He said.
Su Yuehua and Ning Yuning both had gloomy expressions and remained silent.
Ning Zhongjian was overwhelmed by the chaotic scene in front of him, and became a mess.
The matchmaker didn't expect Qi Yue to be so direct. She was stunned for a moment and didn't answer the question for a while.
But at this moment, there was faint laughter coming from outside the door: "Haha, the number one scholar is so proud of himself, so he speaks with so much vigor."
Everyone followed the sound and looked outside, and saw Ning Yuyan, who was dressed in red and gorgeous clothes, slowly walking in with three steps at a time, surrounded by people.
In this way, this farce has really come to an end.
The matchmaker hurriedly came over, but before she could say "Empress", she was stopped aside by the maid.
Ning Yuyan stepped forward, called Ning Zhongjian "Father", and sat on the seat.
Everyone below hurriedly saluted her.
Ning Yuyan raised her eyes and looked at everyone, and couldn't help but smile and wave her hands: "Okay, okay, everyone, sit down. Miss Su, Qi Zhuangyuan, and the second sister, please stop standing. Looking at the mess, I thought
What's going on here."
Ning Yuning and Su Yuehua looked at each other, looking at each other disgustedly. After humming in unison, they found a seat opposite each other and sat down.
Qi Yue lifted up his robe with both hands and sat down next to Ning Zhongjian.
Ning Yuyan glanced at the people present, and finally her eyes rested on Qi Yue: "Can I take the liberty to ask, why did the number one scholar want to propose marriage to the third sister? Could it be..."
At this point, she stopped suddenly, looked at Qi Yue with a smile in her slightly raised eyes.
In ancient times, marriage proposals focused on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
And Qi Yue came to propose marriage in person, and specifically pointed out Ning Yujin.
It would be fine to say that Ning Yujin is well-known, but she is a little-known one. I am afraid that many people would not know that there is a third lady in Uncle Ning's house.
So how did Qi Yue know about Ning Yujin and come to propose marriage to her personally?
When the wise man heard Ning Yuyan's words, he immediately understood what she meant.
If Qi Yue can't explain why, then everyone can understand that he and Ning Yujin have known each other secretly for a long time. If this big hat is taken off, he and Ning Yujin will not be able to live well.
.
Qi Yue stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Qi once lived in Uncle Quan Ning's Mansion for a while and met Miss Ning San from a distance."
Ning Yuyan moved her glove-covered hand along the edge of the table, and smiled lightly: "After seeing you a few times from a distance, you decided not to marry Fei Qing? The number one scholar is really infatuated."
Su Yuehua picked up the tea cup on the table and drank water. At this moment, she felt that all she drank were her bitter tears.
That day, at the entrance of Baishanzhai, Ning Yujin stopped in front of him when he came, and he ate the bun in her hand.
But he didn't touch the medicinal food she sent over.
How could she be so stupid back then and not notice anything was wrong?
Qi Yue replied to Ning Yuyan: "Perhaps Qi is such a stubborn person. Please ask the concubine to fulfill Qi's obsession."
Ning Yuyan's fingertips crossed the table, and suddenly there was a sharp sound. She suddenly curled up her fingers, but the smile on her face did not dim: "Master Zhuangyuan, this is what I should say to you. Prince Xing's Mansion
The betrothal gift is outside now. The third sister has already made a promise to someone else. You are not an unreasonable person. It seems to be unethical to interfere in this way. If someone gets involved in your book, then you
My journey to becoming the No. 1 Scholar may not be smooth in the future."
Is this an outright threat?
Qi Yue laughed on the spot: "Have you been betrothed to me for a long time?"
Then why does Ning Zhongjian still look like he's choking on a fly?
Ning Yuyan didn't expect that she had already raised her official career to warn Qi Yue, but he didn't seem to be moved at all, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
After King Xing returned from Prince Ding's Mansion, he went to her to ask about Ning Yujin. Although he didn't say it directly, how could she not know what King Xing meant?
She originally planned to carry Ning Yujin directly to the mansion when she was fourteen years old. Seeing that Prime Minister Su recognized her as his goddaughter, he felt that there were too many changes and quickly hired a matchmaker to prepare a betrothal gift.
Let’s settle Ning Yujin first.
But I didn't expect that Qi Yue would appear again.
And to be honest, Qi Yue is the top scholar in this year's new subject, and is Prime Minister Su's favorite student, so he might be the one that Prince Xing wants to win over. It would be unwise for her to confront him head-on.
But the hint in King Xing’s words that day...
She frowned, then opened her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why would you do this, Lord No. 1? There are so many women in the world. You see, Miss Su is very good. Why are you so obsessed with your third sister?"
Qi Yue was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression did not change: "There are so many women in the world, why would the empress bring her own sister into the house to work with the same husband?"
When Ning Yuyan heard this, her face suddenly fell, she slammed the table and said angrily: "Qi Yue, you are so bold!"
Qi Yue smiled at this moment: "Isn't it true?"
"Qi Yue!" Even Su Yuehua couldn't stand it anymore and quickly shouted to stop him.
After all, Ning Yuyan was also the concubine of Prince Xing. Although Qi Yue was named on the gold medal list and appointed by the emperor to be an imperial concubine, the gap between him and others was still huge.
Just by what he said just now, he can be punished with a great crime of disrespect.
Ning Yuyan stood up, looked at Qi Yue coldly, and was not afraid to break up with him and said: "Young Master Qi, it is better to take care of yourself. The third sister is married to Prince Xing's Mansion. It is a done deal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice was heard outside the hall - "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone in the room was shocked, wondering how the imperial edict could come at this time?
Ning Yuyan couldn't help but look at Qi Yue - seeing how confident he was, could it be that he had already requested the Holy Emperor's decree?
But looking at Qi Yue's appearance, I saw that he also frowned, obviously not as he should have when he had support.
Outside that door...
Just as he was wondering, he saw a young man staggering in. Ning Zhongjian asked quickly: "What's going on outside?"
"Reply to the master, His Highness Prince Ding is at the door with the imperial edict, Mr. Su and Mr. Shen!"
