If Qi Jue really didn't understand the meaning of giving away the Yuanyang jade buckle, then he wouldn't have tied it on his body.
And after he understood its meaning, he not only accepted it, but also tied it to him openly. The only explanation was this.
He loves Yan Mingzhu!
However, how is this possible? How could the high and powerful King Dingbei fall in love with a second-married girl?
What's more, Yan Mingzhu's previous marriage was still from the Pei family. Who didn't know that King Dingbei didn't get along with the prince, and his relationship with the Pei family was not much better.
This time, Youxiang Pei was demoted, and it was Qi Jue who brought it about. Everyone in the Pei family hated Qi Jue.
And right now, Qi Jue is having an affair with the Pei family’s ex-daughter-in-law, which is really shocking!
Yan Qinglian, who was in the distance, almost cut off her fingernails when she witnessed this scene!
How could His Highness King Dingbei accept the Yuanyang jade buckle? No, His Highness must not know the meaning of the jade buckle being transferred, so that bitch Yan Mingzhu took advantage of it!
But the comments from the people around her almost made her lose her mind.
"His Royal Highness King Dingbei really accepted the Yuanyang jade buckle. It seems that His Highness really fell in love with this Yan Mingzhu?"
"Yan Mingzhu is really good at it. After being divorced by the Pei family, he was able to climb up to His Highness Prince Dingbei. His Highness has not yet married a concubine. It seems that the position of Princess Dingbei belongs to her. This is really flying on the branches.
Transformed into a phoenix."
"It seems that we were short-sighted before. I think Mr. Zhuang must know the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have snatched people from the Ming family just now."
"It's ridiculous that we were just laughing at Mr. Zhuang for talking in his sleep. The sentimental people are telling the truth. We are the only ones who are acting like clowns!"
At this time, someone turned the conversation to Yan Qinglian.
"Mrs. Yan, your Pingchang Earl's Mansion has been blessed with great luck. There is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. In the future, when your three girls enter the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, Pingchang Earl's Mansion will be the prince's in-laws. They will be superior to others wherever they go!
"
"No, no one knows that His Majesty's favorite prince is His Royal Highness King Dingbei. As long as your three girls are admitted, why worry about glory, wealth, and titles?"
Listening to these flattering words, Mrs. Deng was not happy at all.
At first, she mistakenly thought that Mingtai had fallen in love with Yan Mingzhu, and asked this little bitch to be Mingtai's concubine, so that she could bring some benefits to the Earl of Pingchang's house, and it would not be in vain for the Earl's house to support her for so many years.
Mrs. Deng was still gloating proudly in her heart, so her little hooves were usually squeaking, but in the end she wanted to be the concubine of an old man in his forties?
Today she originally wanted to come with this purpose to discuss the marriage with the Ming family.
But she never thought that it was not Mingtai who fell in love with Yan Mingzhu, but Ming Xingjian who wanted to marry her.
Ming Xingjian is the eldest son of the Ming family. He is in his mid-twenties this year and has not yet married. Yan Mingzhu will be the first lady to marry him.
When Mingtai retired, Ming Xingjian took over the Ming family, and Yan Mingzhu became the mistress of the family.
The Ming family is at the top of the aristocratic family in the imperial capital. This is like a pie-in-the-sky marriage. How could it fall on the head of a little bitch like Yan Mingzhu? The Ming family's eyes are all sticky!
Originally, Mrs. Deng was already angry and jealous because Yan Mingzhu got married to the eldest young lady of the Ming family in vain.
What she never expected was that Qi Jue, the king of Dingbei, also looked at Yan Mingzhu in a different light!
He did not shy away from suspicion in public and even accepted the mandarin duck jade buckle. Wasn't this telling everyone that he recognized Yan Mingzhu?
No, no, the position of Princess Dingbei can only belong to her daughter. How could a little bitch like Yan Mingzhu be allowed to take advantage of her!
"Everyone is really joking. How can our three girls reach the position of Princess Dingbei? How can our three girls win the favor of His Highness King Dingbei?
Being accepted as a side concubine is already a great blessing for her. She does not dare to dream about the position of the principal concubine. Moreover, after all, the third girl has been in contact with the Pei family before, and Concubine Zhuang will probably not be very happy.
Being granted the title of concubine is already a blessing."
Oh, what if Qi Jue falls in love with her? Just the fact that Yan Mingzhu had married Pei Zhuoran before could completely cut off her hope of becoming Princess Dingbei!
Concubine Zhuang absolutely despises Yan Mingzhu, and only a legitimate daughter like her daughter who is knowledgeable and sensible can be a good match for her!
"Mrs. Yan has the clearest mind. She can see the current situation clearly at this time. But even if she is a concubine, it is a great blessing for the three girls of your family."
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Yan, your second girl is known as the most talented girl in the imperial capital. She is far ahead of the third girl in terms of reputation and appearance. If His Highness King Dingbei can like the third girl, your second girl will not have the same chance.
It’s very big.”
"No, on the contrary, if the two girls from your Earl's Mansion can serve His Highness Prince Dingbei together, this will be something that no one else can envy."
After hearing these words, Deng's expression softened a lot, and Yan Qinglian felt even more proud.
Look, it doesn't matter if Yan Mingzhu can get special treatment from Qi Jue. In the eyes of the world, Yan Mingzhu is just a broken shoe. If it dies, it can only be a concubine.
And only someone with such a noble status as her can naturally become a concubine!
"Bah, you guys are talking nonsense here. Even if His Highness King Dingbei wants to marry Zhuzhu as his concubine, we Zhuzhu still refuses! His Highness King Dingbei is not worthy of Zhuzhu.
You know nothing!"
When Mingyu passed by, she happened to hear these people talking, which made her very angry.
Aren't these guys just jealous that Yan Mingzhu was attracted by Qi Jue, but they didn't have this opportunity, so they're here to be bitter?
"Miss Ming San, after Yan Mingzhu seduced your eldest brother, she went to seduce His Highness Prince Dingbei, and she also had an affair with His Highness. Why do you still speak for such a flirtatious woman?"
"Yes, the eldest son of Ming Dynasty is a role model among the young masters of aristocratic families. There are so many famous ladies in the capital that he can choose from, but he doesn't want them, but he falls in love with a broken shoe. Isn't it too hard to think about it?"
"Listen to our advice. The fact that Yan Mingzhu can reach His Highness Prince Dingbei shows that she is very clever in her methods. The Ming family has always been noble, but we should stay away from such a watery woman to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Ming family!"
Mingyu clenched his fists, these chickens with sore feet just deserve a beating!
But just when Mingyu was about to take action, a voice floated over: "Miss Ming San, what are you wasting your time with these frogs in the well? How can you let them know how good Miss Yan San is?
If my eldest nephew is lucky enough to marry a unique woman like Miss Yan San, he will naturally love and protect her at all times to prevent others from snatching her away."
