Chapter 998: You will not regret it after all (Second update)
"Come here, take the princess down quickly to sober up!" Prince Nan ordered.
"Woooo..."
Bingqing covered her face, turned around and ran out of the flower hall.
In the flower hall, everyone looked at each other, feeling embarrassed.
Prince Nan waved his hands towards Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, motioning them to sit down.
"Don't treat her like a child, come on, let's drink!" Prince Nan raised his glass.
Everyone picked up their wine glasses in cooperation, and Qi Xingyun's face returned to its usual smile.
In the hall, the luncheon continues...
The luncheon is over.
In Prince Nan’s study.
Prince Nan looked sad and ashamed.
"My dear nephew, I am going to apologize to you for what happened today..."
Prince Nan's old face was dull, and his voice was quite low when he spoke.
There is no better daughter than a father.
He understood his daughter's thoughts.
I like that Luo Fengtang.
At first, Prince Nan only thought that Bingqing was just having a temporary idea, but he didn’t expect that his obsession would be so deep.
Rejecting the marriage in public embarrassed Qi Xingyun and made everyone lose face!
"My nephew, I'm really sorry. This girl lacks discipline and is unruly and domineering. She is definitely not a good match for my nephew..."
Prince Nan said this implicitly and euphemistically.
But Qi Xingyun understood the meaning.
He played with the tea bowl in his hand and smiled lightly.
"The emperor's uncle is serious. Xingyun has always treated Bingqing as a younger sister and cherishes her."
"My younger sister is not sensible, how can my brother be angry? I won't take it seriously. Yes." Qi Xingyun said.
Hearing Qi Xingyun's words, Prince Nan nodded secretly.
It is rumored that this imperial nephew is a rare open-minded and generous person. Is this true?
As a man, Prince Nan also understood deeply that Bingqing’s actions would make any man lose face.
"My dear nephew, although I am not lucky enough to marry you."
"However, uncle, I appreciate your talent very much."
"If your nephew needs anything from me in the future, just ask. As long as your uncle is within his ability, he will definitely not refuse!"
Prince Nan finally said.
Qi Xingyun smiled.
He knew that Prince Nan was feeling guilty, so he compensated himself.
This compensation shows Prince Nan’s attitude.
Qi Xingyun smiled knowingly, stood up, and bowed to Prince Nan with his hands clasped in fists.
"In this case, my nephew will thank my uncle first. If my uncle has nothing else to do, my nephew will go back now." Qi Xingyun said.
Prince Nan said: "I heard that you are leaving for Beijing in the next two days? Why not spend a few days in Licheng City?"
Qi Xingyun shook his head with a smile.
"Now that we have entered the twelfth lunar month, I have not accompanied my father and mother to celebrate the New Year for three years. It is really unfilial."
"One day, my nephew will come to Licheng to visit the emperor's uncle."
......
Qi Xingyun left the Nanwang Mansion.
On the carriage back, the personal guard frowned: "Master, if this marriage fails, I will definitely blame you."
Compared with the sad look on the guard's face, Qi Xingyun was He looked in a good mood.
"Getting married is just a way. As long as the goal is achieved, the mother and concubine will naturally not blame you." He said.
At today's celebration banquet, Bingqing's behavior really annoyed him.
That stupid woman!
However, despite being annoyed, he also felt an indescribable joy and relaxation.
He couldn't tell where that kind of ease came from.
In short, just feel good.
… After the banquet at Nanwang Mansion, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing walked hand in hand on the streets of Licheng.
"Why do you always peek at me like this?"
When Yang Ruoqing peeked at him for the eighth time, Luo Fengtang couldn't help but make a sound.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes turned around quickly, and she suddenly jumped in front of him with her hands behind her back.
"Tangyazi, I want to ask you something. You must answer sincerely and truthfully." She said.
"Well, you ask." He also stopped.
Yang Ruoqing tilted her head, as if she was organizing words.
“Honestly, you rejected Princess Bingqing so completely at the banquet today.”
"Do you regret it in the end?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang was startled for a moment, thinking she was going to ask something, but it turned out to be this?
He shook his head without thinking about it: "I don't regret it."
She then asked: "Although I don't really like Bingqing's personality, at the banquet today, she was so brave Going out of your way to refuse marriage in public really impressed me.”
Luo Fengtang: “…”
Yang Ruoqing said to herself: "Bingqing is actually quite good-looking and has a good family background. Many men should like her."
"What about you? Tell me honestly, do you like her at all? Her?" she asked again.
Luo Fengtang looked at Yang Ruoqing with a depressed look on his face, as if he didn't want to answer.
But how could he defeat Yang Ruoqing?
So, I had to frown and think about it.
"To be honest, I can't say I hate Princess Bingqing, but I don't like her either."
"In my eyes, she is the same as Prince Nan, Prince Yun, and everyone at today's banquet. It’s the same, nothing special,” he said.
"Hey, she is a beauty. She is a beauty. As a man, don't you take a second look?" she asked.
He smiled bitterly: "If I, Luo Fengtang, were the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, I would not have followed you, the chubby Qing'er, back in Changping Village."
Listen to this. , Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a few seconds.
Then it dawned on me.
Yes, her weight loss was not effective at that time, and she was so fat that it ruined her outlook on life.
At that time, Yang Ruolan was the village beauty who dominated Changping Village.
But Luo Fengtang has never been seen chasing Yang Ruolan. He always hangs out with a fat girl like her.
Hey hey...
"Is there anything else you want to ask? Let's just ask it all at once."
His voice revealed a hint of helplessness, but his eyes were full of doting.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and took his arm: "No need to ask, it's all done, hey, let's go back to the inn!"
The two said Leaving laughing and joking.
Behind them, Bingqing stood where they had just stood, biting her lip tightly and watching the two of them walking away.
Two lines of clear tears rolled down from the corners of Bingqing's eyes.
She heard everything she said just now.
It turns out that everything was just her own passion.
In his eyes, she was no different from the bustling passers-by on the street.
He didn't even notice all her efforts and sacrifices.
At this moment, Bingqing finally understood what her mother-in-law warned her.
Where in the world is there no grass?
That’s all!
Bing Qing turned around blankly and walked back to the Nanwang Mansion with heavy steps.
Back at Prince Nan's Mansion, she went to sit with Princess Nan for a while.
"Mother, my daughter is here to say goodbye to you."
Bingqing did not sit down, but stood in front of the imperial concubine's couch where Princess Nan was lying, and said calmly.
Princess Nan looked tense and sat up worriedly.
"Qing'er, what nonsense did you say... It's almost the Chinese New Year, where are you going?"
Princess Nan asked.
