Chapter 12: Flower Dynasty-6
Now it was Qi Wangshu who felt awkward. She turned around unnaturally and said: "It's okay. My sister and I are also very close to each other. As the saying goes, we don't know each other until we fight... Let's forget about it. Don't do it."
Make a statement."
I looked away from my brother, but always glanced at him secretly. Although I saw all these small details, I didn't say a word.
When I returned to the mansion, my brother didn't blame me much. Instead, he advised me to have a good rest and told me to be cautious at the Hua Chao Party.
I responded one by one.
Soon the day came when I was leaving for Qishan. I got up early to dress up and waited quietly in the mansion for the etiquette officer to pick me up.
I was sitting in the front hall waiting, but I accidentally saw my brother getting ready to go and leading Liang Jiajun to stand in the yard, as if waiting for his resignation.
I quickly ran to the corridor and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
My brother was arranging the necklace on his helmet. When I asked him, he looked up at me and said, "I'll go to Qishan with you."
"Oh? I've never heard you say that."
"Qishan is outside Shangjing City. In previous years, during the Flower Festival, the Royal Forest Army would escort you there, and now it is no exception."
"But my brother is not a member of the Imperial Guard."
"I have nothing to do, so I would like to enjoy the flowers with you, how about that?"
I chuckled and didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that she wanted to go with me because she was worried that the princess would bully me.
As if he heard me laughing at him, my brother said: "You have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. To put it bluntly, you are a master who takes advantage of others. Usually I am not afraid. You act very low-key in front of the royal family. But the situation is different now. You and Prince Jing
It's time to get married, and all the ladies in the capital are keeping an eye on you. Besides, you offended Princess Wangshu a few days ago."
When I learned that my brother had so many considerations, I couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that, as a man, my brother would be so considerate. I wonder if my mother gave all my care to you when she was pregnant with us."
My brother rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'm stupid and don't know myself. I blame my mother for being a bad child."
I was so happy that I leaned against the wooden pillar next to the corridor and asked, "If that's the case, it would be great if we could change. You marry Prince Jing for me, and go and marry those ladies for me."
We don't need to think about breaking off the engagement. With your intelligence, you will be able to move easily in the circle of powerful people after you get married. I will lead the troops to fight for you, promote our country's prestige for the heaven, and defeat the enemy.
Those thieves!"
I longed for such a free and carefree day, sighed, and exclaimed: "It would be great like this."
The elder brother said seriously: "Qingqing, if you can't break off the engagement and have to marry Prince Jing, you must be smarter when you are in the palace. I know how my sister Liang Ji, who is the same mother as me, could be so stupid.
When the time comes, I will also protect you."
I knew my brother was trying to comfort me, but this comfort was very useful to me, so I responded twice and returned to the main hall.
"Why haven't the etiquette officers come yet... Concubine Mei, has she forgotten..." I waited for a long time, chatting away in my pinewood armchair and playing with the necklace on my dress.
Yuebai stood aside and said, "Probably not. Maybe it's coming soon."
At this time, I suddenly thought of Qi Jingqin and asked: "Yuebai, you said that today Concubine Mei is inviting the official lady to Qishan Mountain to worship the God of Flowers at a banquet... um... will Prince Jing go? He is an official in the court and is busy with government affairs... maybe
Aren’t you going?”
Yuebai pondered for a moment and said: "Well... I haven't heard of any major events in the court recently. Some time ago, the general pacified the Great Liang, and then there were no other major events except for the emperor's illness. In the past, Prince Jing went to the Hua Chao Festival.
I’ll definitely go there this year too.”
I pursed my lips and said, "That's so embarrassing... At that time in Mingyue Tower, I cried and made trouble like that. It was too shameful..."
Yuebai chuckled and said, "Are you expecting Prince Jing to go or are you not willing to let Prince Jing go? Yuebai is so stupid that he actually heard in a few words that Miss misses Prince Jing."
I sat up with excitement, slapped the table and said, "What are you talking about! Don't you know my feelings? I pursue two people for the rest of my life, and Prince Jing, as a prince, cannot have only one princess.
Besides, I have always hated this kind of political marriage!"
Yuebai reassured: "In that case, whether Prince Jing goes or not has nothing to do with the lady. You just need to pretend that Prince Jing does not exist, and when Prince Jing knows your intention, he will not force you."
Although Yuebai is usually extremely dull, he sees the relationship between men and women more clearly than I do. Yes, since you don't care, you just need to pretend that he doesn't exist.
I pinched Yue Bai's face, pretending to be angry, and asked: "Tell me! Do you secretly read some books that I shouldn't read behind my back on weekdays? You stay by my side all the time, and you are so concerned about this kind of thing.
View! Abnormal!”
Yuebai also pretended to be frightened and begged me for mercy: "Oh! Miss, I'm just talking nonsense, please spare Yuebai!"
While we were making trouble, a voice came from outside the yard: "See His Highness Prince Jing, Your Majesty, you are a thousand years old!"
"Get up!"
I immediately let go of Yue Bai, stood up and walked towards the door.
After just two steps, a tall figure walked straight in from the door.
As soon as he saw it, he knew it was Qi Jingqin.
After he walked into the main hall, he looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on me. I quickly looked away, lowered my head and saluted him, and said: "My daughter Liang Huanqing pays homage to the prince. The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
He pretended to cough twice and said, "No courtesy."
I stood up and looked at him.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
He stared at me for a long time, frowned and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he pushed the door open again and went out. I didn't know what happened, so I replied: "Yes." and followed him out.
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw my brother standing in front of the team, so I looked at him and asked him what happened. He didn't seem to know.
Qi Jingqin had long legs and walked fast. After a while, he was waiting for me in front of the house for a long time. He was a little impatient and shouted: "How are you? Come out quickly!"
I didn't stay any longer and hurriedly followed him out. Although it was very unpleasant, I didn't want to argue with such a person in front of my brother, who just praised me for my intelligence.
As soon as I arrived in front of the mansion, I knew that today's etiquette officer was Qi Jingqin. Looking left and right, I saw that Si Nanping was not there. No wonder he was acting so impetuously like a wild horse running wild today. Maybe no one was watching him.
Already.
The carriage was in the middle of the honor guard. It was a purple carriage, and as expected, Chuqi was the driver.
Qi Jingqin got impatient and sat down early.
When I walked to the carriage, Chu Qi saluted me with a smile and said, "We meet again, good luck to you, Miss."
Qi Jingqin complained again from inside the car: "What's wrong! Can't you get in yet?"
I didn't dare to complain about my master, and why didn't I dare to look down on the driver? Thinking of all the misdeeds of the master and his servant, I ignored him and even gave him a rollicking look.
Chuoqi didn't care, but happily helped me get into the car.
I opened the curtain and saw that there were only two seats inside. Now that Qi Jingqin was sitting on one, there was only one left. I asked, "Where can Yue Bai sit?"
Qi Jingqin frowned and said impatiently: "Don't Liang Ji have to follow? Let her go to Liang Ji's place and run with the troops!"
I couldn't bear it anymore. She kept me waiting all morning without saying anything. She has never given me a good look since we met, and now she still wants to arrange my personal maid like this.
I was about to argue with him when Chuqi made half the seat and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you sit with me. Miss, come in quickly."
Yuebai sat down next to Chuqi very sensibly. When I saw this, I didn't say anything and just sat in.
Chapter completed!
