Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui came to Yan Mansion.
Negotiated with Yan Wulu in Fuzhong.
Not long after that, Prince Yu's carriage and Yan's carriage headed towards the palace at the same time.
…
Inside the palace of Princess Taiping.
Qin Jing took out a third-rate book sold by a vendor on Jinling Street - "What's it Like to Fall in Love with Someone".
Pass several test questions and ask Zhao Lingxin to verify the final results.
After clearing her throat, Qin Jing began to ask serious questions.
Qin Jing: "Your Highness, please listen to the first question. Do you think about him constantly?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingxin nodded like a hamster.
Qin Jing: "So, please listen to the second question. If you can't see him, will you feel empty in your heart?"
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, he hesitated for a while and nodded again like a hamster.
…
Qin Jing: "The hundredth question, you..."
Zhao Lingxin: "Sister Qin Jing, haven't you finished asking? There are already a hundred questions."
Hearing this, Qin Jing closed the huge, thick book.
She even pretended to hold the monocle that had been passed down from the Western Regions to Daqian, looking very elegant. She looked at Zhao Lingxin and said -
"Your Highness, if this book is correct, you have already fallen in love with Prince Zhenbei."
"Huh?" Zhao Lingxin was a little in disbelief.
She opened her mouth slightly.
Zhao Lingxin's cheeks seemed to bulge for a moment. She didn't look like the "Jinling Female Overlord", but more like a cute little hamster.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Lingxin stood up suddenly, waved his hands violently, and smiled decisively, as if he wanted to cover up his inner panic.
Qin Jing took off the monocle from her right eye. She stood up and came to Zhao Lingxin, observing him...
"Your Highness, you are lying."
The very calm and indifferent voice, especially after it came from Qin Jing's mouth, was even more convincing.
Zhao Lingxin's smile froze for a moment...
"Hey, sister Qin Jing, I don't know what's going on? Is it possible that love at first sight really exists in this world? He bullied me like that, and I still think about him all the time. Isn't it a bit..."
...is it a bit mean-spirited?
Zhao Lingxin swallowed the last words in her mouth.
Qin Jing pinched her chin slightly and thought -
"Is there a possibility that it's because no man has ever dared to treat you like this before, princess? That's why you, princess, feel that Prince Zhenbei is special, and that's why you will always miss him."
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, stars seemed to twinkle in his eyes...
"It makes sense! As expected of Sister Qin Jing, you are so smart and you hit the nail on the head!"
"If Her Highness the Princess really wants to know whether she has fallen in love with Yan Wulu, the Crown Prince of Zhenbei."
Qin Jing said and continued: "...let's find some free time and go visit the Prince of Zhenbei together to see how the princess feels when she sees him in person."
"...Perhaps, once you get used to it, you will find that Prince Zhenbei is nothing more than that?"
"Yes, yes."
Hearing this, Zhao Lingxin nodded, wagging her fingers and said: "...Good method, worthy of Sister Qin Jing!"
The two women were talking.
Suddenly, a maid from the palace came forward to report, "Your Royal Highness, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince of Zhenbei would like to see you."
"ha?"
When Zhao Lingxin heard this, he was shocked. For a moment, he was outspoken and blurted out, "...Brother Nine Emperors, why did he bring that Yan Wulu to the palace!"
"...Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not ready to see him yet!"
"...In this case, Sister Qin Jing, you hold on first while I run away."
Qin Jing was a little confused. She had never seen the "Female Overlord of Jinling" like this before. "Your Highness, this is your palace. Where are you going to... run to?"
"Huh? That's right."
Zhao Lingxin showed her white teeth and bit her lip slightly. She seemed to be hesitant, "...How about this? Just say - I was infected with wind and cold last night and am ill! Please ask Brother Jiuhuang to take Prince Zhenbei with him.
Go back."
As Zhao Lingxin said that, he turned around, took three steps and then two steps, preparing to run back to the inner hall.
Qin Jing grabbed her and said, "Your Highness Princess, weren't you just about to go see the Prince of Zhenbei again? Now the time is right. He is here, so we don't have to go find him."
"But..." Zhao Lingxin hesitated.
"It's okay." Qin Jing said very reliably: "...I'm still here, right? Your Royal Highness, you can rest assured."
"Uh...okay."
Zhao Lingxin made a difficult decision.
Then, he instructed the maid to go and summon him.
…
Outside the palace.
Yan Wulu and Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui have been waiting here for a long time.
A maid specially brought seats for the two of them, so that the two distinguished people could sit and wait.
"Your Highness, please do not be anxious."
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui suddenly spoke to comfort Yan Wulu and said: "...women are like this. Before meeting important people, they always have to dress up carefully. I think the same is true for the eighteenth sister."
"Haha." Yan Wulu responded with a chuckle, "...I just hope that Her Royal Highness will not shut the door on us later."
When King Yu heard this, their eyes met and they both burst out laughing at the same time.
During this period, a maid came over to serve Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingrui tea and water.
Finally, the maid who had gone in to report before appeared, saluted the two of them, and said -
"Your Highness King Yu, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the princess invites you."
"Good. Hard work." King Yu responded very politely.
If you don't know the Honored King Zhao Lingrui well, you may really think that this "venomous snake" is a gentle and kind virtuous king.
Yan Wulu thought to himself and couldn't help but find it funny.
After giving a slight nod to the maid, she followed Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui into the palace.
The maid who was originally the messenger was stunned in place for an instant...
She felt that she had unexpectedly met two gentle and handsome princes at the same time, and were treated with such courtesy by each other... She just felt like she was in heaven, and she was lucky in this life.
Princess Taiping's palace is not particularly spacious.
Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingrui soon arrived at the main hall.
Near the main seat, layers of red gauze curtains spread out.
Blocks part of the view towards the main seat.
Although Zhao Lingxin is delicate and domineering, she is still a royal woman in the palace. Even when she meets the emperor's brother and future consort, she still adheres to some necessary etiquette.
As soon as King Yu Zhao Lingrui entered the palace, he first saw Qin Jing sitting in the first seat on the right.
"Oh? I didn't expect Miss Qin Jing to be here." Zhao Lingrui said.
Qin Jing stood up. Although she was the daughter of the prime minister, she had no official position, so she first bowed her hands to Zhao Lingrui and Yan Wulu and saluted at the same time.
Zhao Lingrui and Yan Wulu returned the greeting slightly.
Then he looked towards the main seat.
Behind the layers of red gauze curtains, there is a figure sitting upright. She even feels a bit stiff.
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
It was Yu Wang Zhao Lingrui who took the lead to break the deadlock and said with a slight smile——
"Sister Eighteen, do you want me and His Royal Highness to stand like this forever?"
The beautiful figure on the main seat seems to be an afterthought.
It felt like she had just been fascinated by looking at someone or something.
Behind the curtain, on the main seat, Zhao Lingxin secretly wiped the saliva from his mouth with a sleeve handkerchief, suppressed the panic and Ji Dong in his heart, and said -
"Give me a seat for your royal brother and your son."
Immediately, a servant led Zhao Lingrui and Yan Wulu to sit on the left side.
Qin Jing, who was sitting on the right, also took a closer look at Yan Wulu, the Crown Prince of Zhenbei, whose name she had always heard but never seen.
Wearing a dark-colored python robe of the Crown Prince, with a black base and dark embroidered red lines.
The figure is tall and comfortable.
The Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui beside him was originally a famous handsome prince in Jinling City, but compared with Yan Wulu, the Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui looked much thinner, while Yan Wulu felt more reliable and powerful.
However, the impression that Yan Wulu gave others was not that of a reckless military commander, but rather that of a gentleman like his father Qin Shuzheng.
His facial features are three-dimensional and just right. He is worthy of being the son of Liu Mengyun, the most beautiful woman in the world at that time.
There is a slight dark color in the eyes, which does not look like a kind person. But at the same time, there is a dangerous and mysterious charm.
Qin Jing also nodded secretly. This Prince of Zhenbei is indeed a handsome and heroic man.
He is definitely not comparable to the embroidered pillow-like young masters from aristocratic families in Jinling City.
So I can't blame my good sister, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin, for falling in love with her at first sight and never forgetting her.
In fact, even Qin Jing herself is very willing to accept such an extraordinary-looking person as her marriage partner.
…
The Ninth Prince, Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui, helped bridge the gap between these people. For a time, the atmosphere between Yan Wulu and Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin gradually became less rigid than it was at the beginning.
Qin Jing is also an extremely smart woman, and she seems to be interested in helping to ease the relationship between Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingxin, which makes Prince Zhao Lingrui and Crown Prince Yan Wulu feel more relaxed.
Moreover, Yan Wulu himself was quite good at pleasing women. For a time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely harmonious.
And that's when.
Yan Wulu, he has never forgotten the main purpose of his trip...
He raised a large cup of fine wine filled by the maid, stood up, looked at the main seat, considered his words, and said -
"Your Highness, the last time I saw him, Wu Lu was reckless."
"...I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will forgive me. Wu Lu is willing to punish himself with three cups of wine first."
After saying this, Yan Wulu drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Then he raised his glass and stretched out his hand to signal the maid to pour the wine.
The maid looked around, but no one wanted to stop her, so she stepped forward to pour the wine again.
Drink three glasses in a row.
"I hope the princess will give it more thought to what Wu Lu just asked for."
What Yan Wulu was referring to was the early engagement in the previous conversation, but Princess Taiping had never responded directly.
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui also stood up first at this time, raised his glass and said——
"Your Highness, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good than you can do."
"...There is no need to say anything else. Sister Eighteen, let's drink this cup together. From now on, we will be a family, and we will no longer mention the matter of Lan Yue Tower."
King Yu said, looking very heroic.
Qin Jing also stood up and raised her glass of wine.
In this harmonious atmosphere, everyone is looking at the beautiful figure behind the red gauze curtain...
However, there seemed to be some subtle noise coming from the main seat.
While everyone was puzzled, Zhao Lingxin, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said in a deep voice——
"So, Brother Nine Emperors, you have actually known about Lan Yue Tower for a long time, right?"
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui was slightly startled.
He didn't quite understand why this eighteenth girl suddenly seemed angry?
Does he know this? Is it important?
Yan Wulu was also slightly confused.
He and Zhao Lingrui had almost the same idea. They didn't quite understand how the princess, who was fine just now, suddenly changed. It was really... uncertain.
When Qin Jing heard this, her face changed slightly.
Being smart, she was the first to react, and she couldn't blame the other two, because only she, a close friend who was often by Zhao Lingxin's side, knew what made Zhao Lingxin angry and angry at this moment -
Brother Jiuhuang, whom I trust and rely on the most, had known for a long time that he had made a fool of himself in Lanyue Tower, but he did nothing and now he helped him to ask for his forgiveness!
Most people can't stand it.,
What's more, she is the pampered and pampered female overlord, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin.
Wouldn't that turn the world upside down?
Almost just before everyone thought that Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin was going to completely lose control and go berserk, Qianying on the main seat was extremely quiet.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said -
"Brother Nine Emperors, Sister Qin Jing, and everyone else, please exit the hall first."
"...I want to talk to my future prince-in-law alone."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had never seen Princess Taiping so polite and courteous.
Even King Yu Zhao Lingrui looked at Yan Wulu with a look of helplessness...
Until now, he still doesn't seem to understand why Zhao Lingxin is angry.
We were obviously having a good conversation just now, why did it suddenly...become like this?
It's really "a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea".
However, Yan Wulu still stood proudly on the spot, looking extremely upright and free and easy.
Zhao Lingrui, Qin Jing, and other servants in the palace did not dare to touch the trouble of this "female overlord" at this moment, and they all retreated from the palace.
Before Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui left, he patted Yan Wulu on the shoulder and said secretly——
"His Royal Highness, if the Eighteenth Sister picks up weapons in the palace to kill you in a while, you must remember to call Xiao Wang, who will immediately enter the palace to protect you."
Zhao Lingrui said, and his eyes hinted at the various terrifying weapons surrounding the palace and behind the red gauze curtain.
Yan Wulu understood it and thanked Zhao Lingrui for his kindness with his eyes.
However, he knew that although Princess Taiping also practiced martial arts, her half-baked, three-legged cat-like martial arts skills were not actually his opponent.
So...there is no need to call for help.
Moreover, he knew in his heart that the other party did not leave him alone just to kill him...
