"Miss Liang Er is really a master of playing the zither. A wonderful tune can make people feel happy and linger in the world. She really deserves to be called a master!"
When everyone turned around, they discovered that at some point outside the crowd, a handsome young man wearing azure clothes had stood.
Mingyi was still scoffing at Wan Su's music, but when she saw the person coming, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she flew towards the person like a butterfly.
"Brother Qin!"
When Qi En saw her coming, he just smiled at her, politely but distantly.
Then he turned slightly to avoid Mingyi's hands reaching out to hold his arms.
"I am attracted by the music just now, so I came here to check it out. If I am offended, please forgive me."
Although there was a rule in the Zhou Dynasty that men and women should sit on separate tables, they were not very particular about the differences between men and women.
Although Qi En's behavior was a bit inappropriate, it was not harmful after a closer look. In addition, everyone saw that he was polite and generous, so they would not care about anything.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qi smiled and waved to Qi En, calling her to her side.
"Let me introduce to you, he is my grandson, Qin, the eldest son of our British Duke."
Qi En bowed politely to everyone.
All the ladies began to praise tirelessly again.
"It turns out he is Mr. Qi! He is really like a jade tree standing in the wind, and his appearance is dignified. He has the air of being a father!"
"Yes, the young master is really outstanding and has an extraordinary temperament!"
······
There was an endless stream of compliments, and Qi En exchanged polite greetings.
But he couldn't help but look at Liang Wansu, who had put away the guzheng and sat back in the back seat.
I saw her sitting quietly in her corner at this moment, lowering her head to taste the delicacies on the table, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling and nodding, as if she was eating very seriously. It was as if all the noise at the banquet had nothing to do with her.
Mingyi stood in the distance and saw Qi En looking at Liang Wansu. She felt a fire in her heart and threw the wine glass in her hand heavily to the ground.
Seeing her daughter's rudeness, Princess Rong couldn't help but scold her in a low voice.
"Mingyi, what are you doing!"
His tone was full of dignity and warning.
"Concubine, why can't you agree to my marriage to brother Qi En! If you agreed to my request before, what would happen to Liang Wansu!"
Mingyi couldn't help but complain.
Speaking of the relationship between Mingyi and Qi En, we have to start with Qi En's marriage to the head of Yun'an County.
Although Prince Rong, Prince Ling and the current Holy Emperor were not born from the same mother, they were raised under the Queen Mother's knees since childhood.
Therefore, the three brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and their friendship with the children is also good.
When Mingyi heard that Yun An was engaged to be married, she clamored to go and marry her, so she arrived in Huaichuan two months before the wedding.
One day, Mingyi and Yun'an met for an outing, but unexpectedly the horse in the carriage was accidentally frightened on the road.
Running wildly with the carriage, this frightened the two of them.
They screamed loudly, attracting Qin who was patrolling the streets at the time.
Fortunately, Qin's equestrian skills were very good. He jumped onto the horse's back and stopped the crazy horse, thus avoiding the tragedy.
From then on, Mingyi fell in love with Qi En at first sight. When she learned that he was Yun An's fiancé, she became very sad and fell seriously ill.
Until Yun An's death later, although she was sad, she also felt a little bit lucky.
She told Prince Rong and his wife her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, the two of them immediately reprimanded her and told her to give up the idea as soon as possible, because if she married Qi En, Prince Rong would not be able to explain to Prince Ling at all.
Mingyi held back her feelings of admiration with tears in her eyes and watched Qi En and Luo Yanran's engagement sadly. She thought she would never have a chance with Qi En in this life, so she followed Prince Rong and his wife back to Beisai.
Unexpectedly, not long after returning home, Mingyi received the news of Luo Yanran's unexpected death.
After this incident, Mingyi believed that she and Qi En were destined. No matter how much Prince Rong and his wife tried to dissuade her, she was determined to marry Qi En. For this reason, she refused to eat or drink to force Prince Rong and his wife to agree.
Princess Rong loved her daughter very much, so she had no choice but to agree to make plans for her.
Two months ago, Princess Rong got the news that the British father-in-law and his family were returning to the capital, so she took Mingyi back to the capital in the name of visiting the Queen Mother.
Qi Hui, seeing that Mingyi was upset, took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine to persuade her, "What's going on, County Master? Why are you so angry with a small daughter of the Shangshu Mansion?"
Mingyi ignored her flattery and rolled her eyes angrily: "It's all a good thing you arranged. Didn't you say you would make him look embarrassed? This is good, not only did he not make a fool of himself, but he also made her a big spotlight.
"
When Qi Hui heard what she said, she couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment on her face.
He complained in his heart that he was not that idiot Lin Yuru, who failed more than succeeded and failed, and couldn't even get a piece of information.
Soon her face returned to its normal state, "Don't be anxious, County Master! This is just the beginning, the fun is yet to come!"
Upon hearing what she said, Mingyi's eyes that had just dimmed suddenly regained their brightness.
"Oh? Is there anything else you can do?"
Qi Hui did not say it directly, but showed a malicious smile on her face: "Just wait!"
Across the way, Liang Wansu was enjoying his meal and exclaimed that the chef in the Duke's mansion was really very skilled.
"It seems like you like this sauced duck very much! In that case, I'll go back home soon and bring some back with me."
The man's soft voice interrupted Wan Su's eating frequency.
"Master Qi! You are joking."
"You called me Young Master again, do you really don't remember me?" Qi En said, with a hint of disappointment on his face.
After hearing this, Wan Su couldn't help but look at him carefully. His figure and appearance were indeed familiar. Wan Su lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly a light came into his mind.
"It's you?" Wan Su's eyes widened in shock. Isn't this the stupid guy who saved him when he first came here?
"You, a little thief, still have a conscience," Qi En said.
The sound of "little thief" reminded Wan Su of the time she took off all his clothes and accessories before leaving, and she felt embarrassed.
"I was forced to have no choice. Let's do this. You make a list and I will compensate you according to the price when I get back."
"Are you going to compensate me?" Qi En seemed to have heard something new, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Wan Su thought he was doubting his financial resources, so he hurriedly said: "I am rich now, really! I saved the crown princess a few days ago, and the crown prince rewarded me."
"Haha, then you should keep it! It will be used as a dowry when you marry me," Qi En said.
Wan Su blushed when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say I wanted to marry you."
"Our marriage has been decided, do you still want to regret it?" Qi En deliberately wanted to tease her.
Wan Su said with some irritation: "My young master, please respect yourself!"
Seeing how serious she was, Qi En felt a little disappointed in his heart.
"Don't be angry with me. I know you are shy. I am teasing you. But I still want to thank you for what happened last time. Without you, I am afraid that my leg will be useless. Our British government has been here for generations. If
Without this leg, my life would be ruined, but you saved me!"
"It's nothing! Didn't you also save me? We are even." Wan Su said.
"No, no, I owe you one more time!" Qi En said.
Another time? Wan Su didn't know why, and she wanted to ask, but Lin Yuru on the side suddenly stopped her.
"Second cousin, come here, Hui'er needs your help here."
