Emperor Shangguan Yu asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Do you think this important matter of marriage is a child's play?"
Du Yiqing immediately put on a dog-legged look and said: "It's like this. Two days ago, I helped my fiancée visit a jade shop and got acquainted with Prince Xuan Beimo. At that time, I didn't know that Xuan Beimo was a high-ranking official in Chiyang Kingdom.
The prince just thought he was an ordinary businessman, so he made a joke during the meal..."
"What kind of joke is this? Girl Qing, please don't mess around! The emperor will definitely not let you off if you do this next time." The Queen Mother was a little worried. Although she loved Du Yiqing, it was related to the royal family's face. I'm afraid...
But by saying this, she hinted that she could be let go this time.
Du Yiqing nodded and smiled slightly: "Grandma Huang, you said that the first time I made a joke, I recruited the prince of Chiyang Kingdom. Do I dare to do it again...?"
Xuan Beimo didn't say anything. He was now very sure that Du Yiqing was probably the woman Shangguan Yu said who might have changed some things. He had already said it, and it all depended on what Du Yiqing said...
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Girl Qing, this is a major matter of marriage, how can you be joking?!"
There was a bit of blame in his tone, but it was much better than before.
Du Yiqing smiled slightly and said calmly: "His Majesty the Emperor, we made a bet at that time. He said that I was always calm and calm, and he could do something that scared me. I didn't let him go at that time.
He said, if he can do it, I will treat him to dinner for a month..."
Du Yiqing then showed an embarrassed look: "Who knew that Prince Xuan Beimo would use this to block you? You are so powerful Xuan Beimo, I was really scared!"
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and the Emperor's face also changed again and again. Xuan Beimo never followed the rules. If other princes came to make this bet for a month's dinner, I'm afraid the Emperor would still be suspicious.
But Xuan Beimo, he believed it 70-80%. That child had experienced living on the streets since he was a child. From then on, he liked to ask others to treat him to dinner. I heard that every time he came to Liuyue Kingdom, he would go to ask Yu'er to treat him.
When it comes to eating, Du Yiqing's words are quite convincing.
"Mo'er, you're exaggerating. After all, it's a problem from childhood that can't be cured now. Don't embarrass Qing'er. She's married. She can't joke about it. Girls
Your reputation is more important than anything else!”
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Xuan Beimo nodded with a faint smile on his lips. What could he say? If he denied Du Yiqing's words at this moment, then I'm afraid this woman would be miserable...
The atmosphere calmed down for a while, but Du Xiaoxiao's face in the audience became even more embarrassed. The Empress Dowager's words just now, 'A girl's reputation is more important than anything else', were like steel needles piercing her riddled heart.
The handkerchief is stirring, reputation! Du Yiqing! It's all you. If you hadn't suddenly seduced Shangguan Yu, how could she be rejected by Shangguan Yu in public, and how could the prince take advantage of her?!
"Okay, okay, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Qing'er also lost the bet. The Chinese New Year is here, let's have a meal!" The Queen spoke appropriately to resolve the embarrassment.
Everyone sat down, but Xuan Beimo's eyes were always fixed on Du Yiqing's expression. How good is this woman in lying? She just said a lot of unfounded words, and now she sat back down calmly as usual, even a little bit.
