In Prince Zhou's Mansion, Zhao Xingyao was still holding the marriage edict that had just been sent to him, and he hated Ning Qingyan in his heart.
Snapped!
Suddenly, Zhao Xingyao woke up from the severe pain in his cheek. He covered his face and looked at his father who had done something to him in disbelief, "Father!"
"Evil boy! Idiot!" King Zhou was so angry that his face turned blue.
Princess Zhou quickly stopped him and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please tell me. Why are you beating Yao'er?"
"Why should I hit him? Look at how you pampered him! The duck in his mouth flew away!" King Zhou was so angry that he wanted to strike again.
This time, there was no success. Princess Zhou held him tightly and said, "My lord, what are you doing!"
"Father, what did your son do wrong?" Zhao Xingyao asked unconvinced, covering his burning cheeks.
King Zhou became even more angry and looked around for something to hit him with. He cursed: "You still have the nerve to ask me what you did? I ask you why your majesty suddenly canceled the marriage between Prince Zhou and Ning.
, instead pointed out to you a young lady from the Xiao Mansion?"
"That was what Ning Qingyan said when she went to Uncle Huang, and it has nothing to do with me!" Zhao Xingyao quickly retorted, placing all the blame on Ning Qingyan.
"You still dare to quibble! The imperial edict clearly states that it is you and the daughter of the Xiao family who are in love, so His Majesty wants to make your couple happy! If you had never done these things, how could Your Majesty propose a marriage?"
King Zhou almost poked Zhao Xingyao's eyes with his fingers.
Princess Zhou didn't know the inside story, so she comforted King Zhou: "A silly girl from the Ning family is not worthy of our son at all. If the engagement is broken off, why should you be angry, my lord? But, Yao'er, when did you get married with the young lady from the Xiao family?"
Are we getting together again? The Xiao family is just a middle-class family, but they are not worthy of you."
"You ignorant woman and child, what do you know? The Ning family has the qualifications to enter Xuanmen practice. That silly girl from the Ning family has no use. If she marries into our Prince Zhou's palace, wouldn't her qualifications belong to this brat?" Zhou
In anger, Wang told Zhao Xingyao something that neither mother nor son knew.
"What?"
Zhao Xingyao and Princess Zhou were stunned and looked at King Zhou in astonishment.
King Zhou looked at them and sneered: "Now do you know what kind of opportunities our Prince Zhou's Mansion has missed this time?"
Qualifications to enter Xuanmen practice!
Qualifications for Xuanmen practice!!
Zhao Xingyao's whole body seemed to be frozen, and his ears kept repeating what his father had just said.
How great an honor is it to enter Xuanmen practice?
That means that from now on, you will enter another world, no longer different from ordinary people!
People who can enter Xuanmen practice, even those from the royal family, will be respectful when they see them... More importantly, entering Xuanmen practice means that you can master more powerful power and become the master! You can even obtain
eternal life!!
However, people who can enter Xuanmen are very rare. Even the royal family of Dahao Dynasty takes several years to get such a quota.
He is just the prince of Zhou Dynasty, how can he compete with those princes?
Originally, as long as he married that woman Ning Qingyan, he could easily obtain the qualification.
But what about now?
Not only did he miss the opportunity to enter Xuanmen, but he also wanted to marry Xiao Ruyi, who had a face like a green lotus and a heart like a snake and a scorpion?
no!
"Father, please go to the palace now and ask Uncle Huang that I am willing to marry Ning Qingyan! Please take back his life. The marriage contract between Prince Zhou's Mansion and Ning Mansion is still valid, okay?" Zhao Xingyao looked at Prince Zhou pleadingly.
But King Zhou looked at him like a fool.
…
In the Ning Mansion, Ning Qingyan was depressed because she knew that she was a 'Kun Yuan Ti'.
Outside the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Uncle Zhou?" Ning Qingyan looked at the man carrying a food box outside the door with some surprise.
She stood up and walked towards the door. "Why are you here?"
Ning Qingyan was indeed a little surprised. Li Yangzhou's indifferent look before made her feel that this man didn't care about her life or death at all.
But now——
Ning Qingyan's eyes fell on the food box he was carrying, and she understood everything in her heart. She stretched out her hand to take it, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Li Yangzhou raised his hand to avoid her, walked around and walked into the house, and said calmly: "Although there is no one to serve in the house, the eldest lady cannot be allowed to do it by herself."
While talking, Li Yangzhou had already laid out the food.
Ning Qingyan walked over to take a look.
Just one meat, one vegetable, and a bowl of rice.
It's not an exquisite dish, just the most common home-cooked dish, and the knife skills are a bit rough and simple.
No need to ask, these meals were cooked by the man in front of me.
"I happen to be hungry." Ning Qingyan smiled, walked over and sat down, picked up the bowl full of rice, and started eating.
Seeing that she didn't dislike her at all and was eating deliciously, Li Yangzhou's cold facial features softened a bit.
Little did he know that the Ning Qingyan in front of him had eaten everything during her worst days.
So, how can you dislike the simple meal in front of you?
"Tomorrow, I will select some reliable people to serve in the house. What are your requirements, Miss?" Li Yangzhou asked.
Ning Qingyan was still chewing the food in her mouth and answered vaguely: "There are no requirements. The most important thing is to be reliable and loyal. And... talk less." She doesn't like people who chatter too much.
Li Yangzhou made a note in his mind and secretly looked at Ning Qingyan.
Ning Qingyan felt his appraising eyes, but she didn't pay much attention.
"Servants are easy to find, but Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao..."
"Leave them to me to deal with." Ning Qingyan swallowed the food in her mouth and interrupted Li Yangzhou's words.
"Why is there no one in this house?" At this time, a strange voice came from outside.
Li Yangzhou's eyes darkened and he immediately walked out.
Ning Qingyan also put down her bowls and chopsticks and followed closely.
That strange voice was not an ordinary person. He poured a bit of spiritual power into the voice, so that the sound could travel so far.
Ning Qingyan judged that this person should be a martial arts cultivator, but he was a much more advanced martial arts cultivator than Zhao Xingyao.
It's just that the sound is neither yin nor yang, which makes people unhappy.
Li Yangzhou is very fast on his feet and seems to be a martial artist, but his level is unknown at the moment.
So, when Ning Qingyan rushed to the door, she saw that the originally closed door had been opened, and Li Yangzhou was talking to a white-faced and feminine man.
Ning Qingyan had already guessed his identity after seeing the visitor's attire and the palace guards standing at the foot of the steps.
And after seeing Ning Qingyan, that person's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Miss Ning, I wish to congratulate you."
"May I ask my father-in-law, where does the joy come from?" Ning Qingyan faintly sensed that something was not right.
If the marriage to Prince Zhou was merely terminated, why would the eunuch say congratulations?
As expected, the eunuch who delivered the order unfolded the yellow scroll in his hand, cleared his throat, and said to Ning Qingyan and Li Yangzhou: "Ning Qingyan of the Ning family accepts the order! No need to kneel! From now on, the Ning family will terminate the marriage with the Zhou Palace, and both men and women will
Let's get married independently, and no interference is allowed. However, I miss the Qingyan of the Ning family and have nothing to rely on, so I specifically allow the Qingyan of the Ning family to give my younger brother the title of Princess Yuan. All wedding matters will be handled by the clan government, and we will get married on a selected day. I hereby express my gratitude!"
Ning Qingyan's eyes widened suddenly.
The old emperor granted her another marriage? This time, he also raised her seniority?
The person she wants to marry is Zhao Xingyao’s uncle???
Suddenly becoming the aunt of her ex-fiancé, this feeling... tsk tsk... Ning Qingyan raised her eyebrows, inexplicably feeling a little refreshed, what's going on?
