Chapter 90(1/2)
When Princess Changping heard her son's request, she felt that the sky had collapsed.
Her most proud son actually wanted to marry Yan Ning, an orphan girl without a father or mother.
She has always been proud of her life and never makes people think that she would marry a wealthy daughter for her son.
But what does Yan Ning have?
Weak and incompetent, only one face can see...
Princess Changping suddenly looked at her son who was showing some pain on her face.
"When did you fall in love with her? Did she seduce you when I didn't know?" In order to ask her son to marry Jiang Lan from Duke Li's Mansion, she often took Chen Yanqing to Duke Li's Mansion to get close to Duke Li's Mansion. Although Yan Ning didn't come out at that time, her son might not have been close to Yan Ning.
Although Princess Changping looked higher than the top and looked down on Yan Ning, who grew up with the Duke Li's mansion and only knew how to please the King of Chu and Concubine Li, she had to admit that Yan Ning's appearance was one of the best among the girls of the Jiang family. Not to mention that Jiang Lan was not as beautiful as her, even the fairy-like Jiang Huan, if she only talked about her appearance, was not as good as Yan Ning.
If the orphan girl had no face, who would have looked at Yan Ning?
But at this moment, Princess Changping's voice was difficult.
She always knew that the boy loves sex, but she didn't expect that the one she liked was the completely useless Yan Ning.
And how could it be Yan Ning?
This girl is weak and useless, but she has a great courage. Relying on the favor of the King of Chu, she dared to attack Chen Yanqing.
He dared to hit Shen Yanqing in the face.
"I don't agree! Just a fairy, I only know how to charm people! Ah Qing, you have to know that your identity is so noble, with the blood of the royal family flowing. You are Your Majesty's nephew! How could you be entangled by such a girl!"
Seeing Chen Yanqing looking at her with a pale lips pursed, Princess Changping hurriedly stepped forward and held her son's shoulder and whispered, "Mother knows she is good-looking, but there is no better person in this world than her? If you like a beautiful and graceful maid, I will arrange some beautiful women for you tomorrow, and even Yan Ning is not as good as Yan Ning." She hoped that her son could change his mind, but Chen Yanqing said with some pain, "Mother, I don't want others, I just want Yan Ning."
"What did you say!"
"Mother, Yan Ning is almost at the verge of the ward, and I can't wait. If my mother doesn't help me propose marriage, I'm afraid Yan Ning and I will miss it." Chen Yanqing also wanted to reconcile with Yan Ning slowly.
During the period when he was recuperating, while he was thinking about his life in the room, he repeatedly thought about everything that day. When he thought of Yan Ning's angry look, Chen Yanqing felt extremely regretful.
He originally wanted to get along well with Yan Ning, and also wanted to be elegant and charming in front of her. But every time he made her so angry at herself, even making her even worse the impression of him, thinking that he was a villain who was jealous of his brother and was jealous of his capable brother. But that was not like this... Chen Yanjiang did not make such a success on the first day. When he had just made his mark in the army, Chen Yanqing didn't take it seriously.
It's just that care is messy.
At that time, he was worried that Yan Ning really loved Chen Yanjiang, so he spoke nonsense, but he did not expect to push Yan Ning further.
Now he was punished by the emperor to stay at home and think about his mistakes, but in a blink of an eye, time passed. If he did nothing, could Yan Ning still remember him?
Will you still take him to heart?
Yan Ning will be in the forefront next year, but I am afraid that the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion is already considering her marriage.
If he doesn't go to propose marriage, then Yan Ning's marriage will be nothing.
"No, I won't agree." Princess Changping felt sad when she saw Chen Yanqing's desperate attempt to marry Yan Ning.
My son likes this little vixen so much. If Yan Ning comes in the future, he is afraid that his son will be controlled by her.
Princess Changping became more and more disgusted with Yan Ning.
"Mother, I have never begged you anything, but this time, please help me." Seeing that Princess Changping's face was gloomy, Chen Yanqing couldn't help but beg for a little. Her beautiful face wrinkled slightly and she whispered, "I only like her, please help me. As long as I can marry Yan Ning, mother, I promise you that you will not let the title fall."
A little dazed in his eyes and he said softly, "Does the mother hope that her son will not be happy all his life?" At that time, at that time, she hid in her sister's arms and acted coquettishly, so innocent and simple, and there was no trace of gloom in her eyes.
Her eyes were cleaner, purer than him and anyone in this world.
He likes Yan Ning, and he has liked it from the first sight.
It just made him feel regretful that Yan Ning didn't seem to like him, and no matter how kindness he showed, he was very repulsive to him.
But Chen Yanqing thought that even if she misunderstood him now and didn't like him, she would know that he was not the bad guy she imagined when they got married and waited for them to get along with each other over time.
She would trust him, like him, and live a good life with him wholeheartedly.
Live a good life.
Chen Yanqing's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if this sentence made him very familiar with him.
"You like her so much, which shows how she seduces you. I know, how could this kind of orphan girl be without scheming? Not only did you like her, your father like her very much, and wanted to tell Chen Yanjiang, but now you are even confused by her." Princess Changping saw her son's rare fragile appearance, and couldn't help but say to Chen Yanqing with tears, "But she has nothing! She will only drag you down and will only become a burden to you!" Yan Ning's personality is so timid and afraid, and she is even weak in saying something. How can such a temperament fight for Chen Yanqing in the Shen family?
When Chen Yanqing is trying his best to take care of her, is it rare to be distracted to take care of her?
Moreover, Yan Ning was so unruly that he dared to slap Chen Yanqing in the face.
"Even if she is my burden, I will be happy. Mother, when I think about it for her, I feel happy." Chen Yanqing saw that Princess Changping's face turned blue, and seemed to hate Yan Ning from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but feel nervous and hurriedly said to Princess Changping, "Mother, Yan Ning is not nothing. Although she is an orphan, she is raised in the Duke Li Guo's house. The Duke Li Guo's wife treats her like her biological daughter. The Jiang family treats her very well. The three sons of the Jiang family are now in the army, and another tenth prince concubine is born. They treat Yan Ning like their biological sisters. Naturally, this is Yan Ning's help. And the mother also thinks that the prince likes Yan Ning so much. If I can marry Yan Ning, it will be closer to the prince. Even for Yan Ning's love, the prince will pay attention to me, right?"
He hoped that Princess Changping would go to propose marriage, and he hoped that Princess Changping would love Yan Ning more after she proposed marriage. Even if she only valued the benefits of Yan Ning, as long as Princess Changping could be kind to Yan Ning instead of showing a disgusting attitude, Chen Yanqing felt satisfied.
Princess Changping was so angry that her chest was undulating, but she was suddenly stunned when she heard this.
Seeing that her mother seemed to be thinking, Chen Yanqing hurriedly continued to say to her, "My mother valued the second-family girl of the Jiang family that day, because she was born in the Duke of Liguo, and had the Duke of Liguo as her backer, and the help of Mr. Jiang? But what is wrong with Yan Ning? She does not have the status of a girl in the Jiang family, but she has greater benefits than the girl in the Jiang family."
During this period, he had been in contact with Jiang Huan and asked Yan Ning many things without a trace. Although Jiang Huan was deeply jealous of Yan Ning, most of the things about Yan Ning heard from her mouth were very unbearable, but Chen Yanqing was not a fool. He could always know Yan Ning's life from Jiang Huan's stories.
He had a relationship with Jiang Huan, and was very curious about the future of this scheming girl, and wanted to see where the ambitious Jiang Huan would go.
First of all, which teenager doesn’t like being loved?
Jiang Huan liked him, was really moved by him, and wrote him shy love letters, which Chen Yanqing found interesting.
She didn't want to marry him, but she couldn't let go of her. Chen Yanqing wanted to know what choice Jiang Huan would make in the end.
When he was in contact with Jiang Huan, he knew how Yan Ning had lived in the Duke Liguo Mansion for many years. Isn’t that good?
"Since you said that..." Princess Changping still looked at Yan Ning's jade-like face, but her son's words made her feel moved.
Yan Ning was loved by the King of Chu. Over the years, the King of Chu has protected Yan Ning as a little girl.
The Concubine Li in the palace also likes Yan Ning very much. Whenever the jewelry and silk that the emperor gave to Li Guifei, Concubine Li would definitely transfer it to Yan Ning, which shows his sincerity. Even Yan Ning seemed to have a very good relationship with the grandson of the Eastern Palace. Princess Changping always stared at the movements in the palace. Naturally, he knew that Yan Ning had been very close to the grandson of the emperor since he came back from Shu. The two of them went shopping in Kyoto several times.
Therefore, when Chen Yanqing talked about the benefits that Yan Ning could bring, Princess Changping was indeed moved.
She looked at her son who smiled at her and snorted coldly, "Although I don't like her, I think she is your sweetheart..."
"Thank you for your success!" Seeing that she had agreed, Chen Yanqing immediately showed joy and begged hurriedly, "I'd like to go and propose marriage tomorrow so that I don't have too many dreams." He was not blind, and he didn't talk about others, but even said that Jiulang of the Duke of Wei also liked Yan Ning very much.
Wei Jiulang is now at the age of hiding, but the Duke of Wei's mansion has not yet told him about hiding. I'm afraid this is also intentional to Yan Ning, and Chen Yanqing suddenly felt a little crisis in his heart. Thinking that Yan Ning and Wei Jiulang were very close, even if he was better than Wei Jiulang everywhere, he was not as good as Wei Jiulang just by looking at the relationship.
Moreover, his illegitimate brother Chen Yanjiang...
Chen Yanqing's eyes dimmed.
"You know you're anxious now." Princess Changping felt more and more uncomfortable when she saw her son's anxious look, and she became harsh and said, "If you marry her in the future, I'm afraid I'll live by looking at her eyes."
"How could it be? Yan Ning is gentle and quiet, he is the most filial person and only obeys his mother." Chen Yanqing said gently.
"She is gentle and quiet? Is she weak and useless?" Princess Changping sarcastically continued to ask meanly, "Why, aren't you thinking about your Jiang Huan?"
"What does she have to do with me? Don't she want to marry the ninth prince?" Chen Yanqing curled the corners of her mouth and said with a faint expression.
"She dares not look down on you!" This was the first time that Princess Changping knew that Jiang Huan, who was shy and gentle every time she saw her son, didn't like her son, but she was still the ninth prince of the nobles of the heaven. She immediately sneered and said, "I don't even look at her identity!"
A disgraceful and infamous outer woman who is not popular, has been yelled by Mrs. Tai'an, and her behavior is so cruel and dirty that she is all over Kyoto. No one has wronged her. She dares to even think of the ninth prince. Princess Changping was disgusted and sneered, "Whoever marrys her this kind of thing will be the laughing stock of Kyoto immediately."
Chen Yanqing didn't care who Jiang Huan married, but just nodded along with Princess Changping.
He was so gentle that Princess Changping felt a little better. Therefore, even if she was uncomfortable and unhappy, she also pretended to be in the palace of Duke Li in Shen Yanqing's begging eyes the next day.
She sent a message to her yesterday, so the old lady and Duke Li Guoma were waiting for her. Seeing her in costume and full of momentum, the old lady suddenly felt that the visitor was not good, but just said nothing, and just smiled and welcomed her into the door.
Mrs. Li Guo was accompanying her, smiling on her face, which was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.
She slept with Yan Ning yesterday and asked carefully about the matter between Yan Ning and the King of Chu. When she confirmed that Yan Ning's intention was not a moment of confusion, but was very firm. The wife of Duke Li Guo was happy to see what happened to King of Chu and Yan Ning.
Is there anyone more powerful than the King of Chu in this world? As long as the King of Chu protects Yan Ning for the rest of her life, the wife of Duke Li Guo’s wife would not be considered anything. She became more and more happy and had already begun to think about the dowry to Yan Ning. Therefore, she didn’t feel tired even if she didn’t close her eyes all night. She was still happy at this moment, and naturally she saw that Princess Changping became more and more intimate.
Princess Changping felt that the old lady and Duke Li Guoma looked happier than she had in her impression, but she was worried and was not in the mood to ask more questions.
"Why is Aning not right in front of her?" She saw that the old lady and Duke Li Guo's wife were accompanying her in the room. She took a sip of tea before asking with a smile.
It is precisely because she is coming to propose marriage that Princess Changping is increasingly reluctant to reduce her voice and shows a slow and careless look.
"This girl rested late last night, so she was a little tired. I told her to rest in the room." Yan Ning was questioned by herself all night yesterday. The wife of Duke Li also asked Yan Ning whether she had done something to do with the King of Chu. Seeing that Yan Ning was extremely embarrassed, she knew that the King of Chu was still a serious person and did not act recklessly because Yan Ning liked him, so she valued the King of Chu more and more.
Because he knew that Chen Yanqing was rude to Yan Ning in the palace, Princess Changping had accused Yan Ning. The wife of Duke Li was too lazy to ask Yan Ning to come back to see Princess Changping again, so she said vaguely and wanted to pass by perfunctorily.
She also knew that Yan Ning didn't like Princess Changping and her son.
"So that's how it is." Princess Changping felt a little angry after hearing such perfunctory words, but she endured it.
What's resting? It's already midnight, so what else can I rest?
It was just that Yan Ning was arrogant because of her favor and relied on Chen Yanqing's liking to her, so she neglected her future mother-in-law.
"Speaking of it, it's better if Aning is not in front of us." He was unhappy, but a forced smile still squeezed out on Princess Changping's face, and said with a smile in the puzzled gaze of Duke Li Guo, "I just wanted to say something about Aning, and I was worried that she would be embarrassed if she heard it."
Because when Jiang Lan and Miss Wei Ba were weighing before, Princess Changping did not propose marriage directly, it was very regrettable to call these two girls she liked to be intercepted by others. Moreover, in Princess Changping's eyes, even if Yan Ning was favored by King Chu and Concubine Li, she was just an orphan, and she would not be called to be very cautious and respectful. So she smiled and said directly, "Aning is now fourteen, and she is all the age to get married. Old lady, how about we two families get married?"
The old lady was smiling and thinking about the meals that Yan Ning liked that the King of Chu ordered someone to send to him this morning. She didn't react for a while when she heard Princess Changping's shocking words.
However, obviously, the excitement brought to her by Princess Changping was far less than that of the King of Chu, at least the tea bowl in the old lady's hand did not take off.
"What does the princess mean?" the old lady and Duke Li Guoma looked at each other and frowned slightly.
A little displeasure appeared on her face.
Who is proposing a marriage so carelessly and recklessly?
To be continued...
