After Yu Wenhao left the palace, he went to King Qi's courtyard.
It's very lonely here, there aren't even a few lights hanging in the yard, and everything is dark.
After asking the servants, they found out that King Qi was in the martial arts training room. The servants led him over and saw that King Qi was holding a long sword and performing a set of sword skills, which was very smooth.
Yu Wenhao was secretly surprised, Lao Qi actually practiced swordplay? The sun really came out in the west.
On a whim, he went inside to get his sword and started dueling with him. In the past, Lao Qi would have taken at most ten moves under his sword, but tonight, he actually took fifty moves before being cut by his sword.
The sleeves are forced to stop.
King Qi was a little out of breath and looked quite proud, "Fifth brother, are you treating each other with admiration after three days apart?"
Yu Wenhao put away his sword and threw it away. The sword fell on the sword stand and was placed safely.
"It's good, I've made a lot of progress, but why are you suddenly obsessed with swordsmanship?" Yu Wenhao asked.
King Qi wiped his sweat, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I am a little tired from studying, so I just practiced a few moves. There is nothing special about it."
"For the round-faced girl?" Yu Wenhao said what he was thinking.
King Qi was a little embarrassed and looked away, "Nonsense!"
"What is there to hide between brothers? Can't you tell me the truth?" Yu Wenhao looked at him angrily.
King Qi sat down, waved his sleeves, and said calmly, "Truth or lies can't change anything. She is going to get married, isn't she?"
"You are going to get married," Yu Wenhao asked someone to make tea and walked over and kicked his knee. "But if you don't fight for it once, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Is it useful to fight? She is already engaged." King Qi rubbed his face with both hands, feeling a little tired.
"Are you sure you really like her? Have you let go of Chu Mingcui?"
King Qi smiled bitterly, "If you hadn't mentioned her name now, I wouldn't have remembered her. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed so quickly. In fact, ever since I learned about her and Wu Zhuangyuan, my mind has been going back and forth.
I see her everywhere every time, and I never think of Chu Mingcui again."
He looked at Yu Wenhao, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness, "Fifth brother, I regret it very much, what should I do? I have been thinking recently that if I had been willing to lie and tell her without conscience that I had forgotten Chu Mingcui a long time ago
, then maybe I can keep her."
Yu Wenhao was silent for a moment and said softly: "Fifth brother understands you."
"Really?" King Qi was a little surprised, "You don't scold me?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "I scolded you before because I didn't think from your point of view. Now that I think about it carefully, what can outsiders say? Only the person involved knows how he feels, and outsiders are not qualified to point fingers, but
Fifth brother wants to tell you that happiness must be striven for. You should make one last effort to find her and tell her that if she is still willing to look back, then we will find a way to resolve her marriage to Wu Zhuangyuan."
Prince Qi's eyes dimmed, "It's useless. I went to look for her, but she didn't see me at all. Yes, she must be angry with me. Her marriage has not been settled yet, so I gave her gifts to congratulate her on her engagement. Now I want to
Look, it’s really childish, I found it all myself.”
He raised his head and looked at Yu Wenhao, "Fifth brother, do you think you can ask fifth sister-in-law to help invite her out to meet?"
"I'll go back and talk to her," Yu Wenhao said.
King Qi said gratefully: "Okay, thank you very much, fifth brother."
Yu Wenhao stood up, patted his shoulder and left.
After returning home, he told Yuan Qing Ling that Yuan Qing Ling said: "It's not difficult to ask a girl to come out, but I don't know how she feels now. If she already has a relationship with Wu Zhuangyuan, I don't think it's necessary to ask the old girl to come out.
I'll stick a pole in seven horizontal directions, and I'll test her first before speaking, okay?"
Yu Wenhao also agreed and said: "It's his and can't run away. It's not his and I can't ask for it. Just go and ask first. Also, regarding Meng Yue's matter, my father summoned me to the palace today. It seems that he
I agreed and asked me to send someone to Jiangnan to inquire about it. I have already asked Xiao Hongchen to send someone, but I have to ask Xu Yi to go there tomorrow, because the elder brother must also know the news and will send someone to make arrangements first.
It is best if there is a contrast between what Xiao Hongchen sees on the surface and what Xiao Hongchen sees behind the scenes, then it will be easier for Father to talk to him."
"That's right, if all Xu Yi sees is beauty and goodness, and Xiao Hongchen finds out the filth underneath, then you can know that this reputation is created." Yuan Qing Ling said.
We will put this matter on hold for now and wait for the news.
The next day, Yuan Qingling asked Ah Si to ask Yuan Yongyi to come over and speak.
Yuan Yongyi wore a brand new apricot yellow satin skirt and small leather boots. She came over with a red face. She smiled when she entered the door and said: "I just came back from riding a horse outside and heard Sister Yuan asking me. Is there any advantage for me?"
?”
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "What advantage do you want from me? You are already a newlywed. It's time for me to ask your Yuan family for a wedding drink."
Yuan Yongyi smiled wildly, "Just stop drinking. If you drink, you will go crazy."
Yuan Qingling asked her to sit down, then asked someone to prepare tea, looked at her rouge-red face and asked: "Who are you riding with?"
"Brother Lu!" Yuan Yong blurted out without thinking. After saying it, he felt a little inappropriate, so he smiled and waved his hand, "That's Lu Yuan."
"You call him Brother Lu?" Yuan Qingling was very surprised.
Is this a title for someone who is about to get married? It gives the impression that she is a close friend.
"I'm used to it, and I haven't changed my tune for a while." Yuan Yongyi said carelessly.
"Do you always travel together?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Yuan Yongyi took a sip of tea and nodded: "Yes, we went to cockfighting the day before yesterday, and hunting yesterday, which was fun."
Yuan Qingling knew that Yuan Yongyi was straightforward and not limited to worldly views, so she smiled and said, "Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Yuan Yongyi exhaled, "I thought he was very old-fashioned in the past, but I didn't expect him to be so interesting."
Yuan Qingling suddenly hesitated when he saw her energetic face.
She has started living again now. Wouldn't it be great if she told her about the seventh child at this time? In fact, her ex should be forgotten as soon as possible. Mentioning her ex before the wedding will greatly reduce her joy of getting married. It feels like
Somewhat cruel.
Moreover, it would not be conducive to her future marriage to Wu Zhuangyuan. Moreover, King Qi had originally gone to see her, but she was unwilling to see her. This shows that she was determined to let go of her past.
Yuan Qing Ling thought about it again and again and decided not to say anything.
Yuan Yongyi kept talking about the interesting stories between her and Wu Zhuangyuan, "Sister Yuan, let me tell you something very interesting and important. Didn't we go hunting the day before yesterday? It was a cold weather, and there weren't many birds and animals, but when we saw hares,
He said it was pitiful and refused to fight. When he saw a pheasant, he said it looked good-looking. However, after running around for a day, he gained nothing. In the end, he went back to the market to buy a chicken. Even if it is our achievement, the key is to have a fast chicken.
He caught the old hen that had lost all its feathers in his hand and pecked it several times. The back of his hand bled from the pecks. Hahaha, I almost died laughing."
Yuan Qingling also laughed, but said in her heart: Look at this battle, Lao Qi, you have no hope.
