Prime Minister's Mansion, at noon today, Nangong Chen visited, shocked the people in Prime Minister's Mansion caught him off guard, and hurried out to greet him, and even Zi Ying, who was "ill" came out.
"The old minister has seen the Third Prince." Dongfang Lie said loudly, with a respectful face on his face, but he secretly wondered in his heart what was the intention of Nangong Chen's sudden visit? Nangong Chen had always wanted to cut off the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Should he take action?
"The Prime Minister doesn't have to be too polite. It's something I'm here today." Nangong Chen looked gentle and elegant, elegant, and yet still had the style of a prince.
When everyone heard this, they all raised their ears.
Zi Yan looked at Nangong Chen with affectionate eyes, and her heart rose and fell. She dreamed that the Third Highness was here to propose marriage.
Jing Ao gave Nangong Chen a wink, what are you doing with such a big fight?!
"I wonder what the Third Prince is doing?" Dongfang Lie said nothing. It seemed that he would fulfill the engagement as soon as possible.
"I wonder if Miss Dongfang is here?" Nangong Chen looked at everyone and asked.
As soon as these words were said, everyone looked different, some were shocked, some were panicked, and some were gloomy.
"Zi Han has been weak and sick since childhood. Half a year ago, the old minister had already sent Zi Han to his hometown for rest." Dongfang Lie's heart sank, and it was estimated that Nangong Chen was here to break the engagement.
"That's it." Nangong Chen pretended to be distressed and thought to himself that if he said bluntly, it would not only embarrass the prime minister's mansion, but also embarrass the fifth lady.
"The old minister wants to tell the third prince something about it." Dongfang Lie said with a change of thought.
"What's the matter?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Nangong Chen's eyes.
"Although Zi Han is the eldest daughter, her qualifications and appearance are average. In addition, her health has always been poor, so she is not worthy of the Third Prince. Moreover, Zi Han is stubborn and threatens to not want to marry the Third Prince and want to stay in her hometown all the time, but this
The engagement was when Zi Han was born. How could the marriage given by the previous emperor be terminated? Zi Yan, another young daughter of the old minister, admired the third prince. Zi Yan is also the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. If Your Highness does not dislike..."
Hearing this, Zi Yan was already angry and looked shy.
"No, no, I think you misunderstood by Prime Minister. Miss Dongfang's third lady is both talented and beautiful, so how could I dislike it?" Nangong Chen quickly interrupted Dongfang Lie's words.
Zi Yan was very surprised and full of thoughts. She looked at Nangong Chen shyly, and became more fascinated the more she looked at her.
Dongfang Lie was surprised. Nangong Chen was willing to marry Zi Yan? It was not surprising to think about it seriously. Of course, Nangong Chen would rather marry Zi Yan than marry Zi Han, who was weak and sickly.
"But." Nangong Chen changed his tone: "I only appreciate and admire the third lady, but no love. How dare I compromise the Prime Minister's daughter?"
Everyone's faces changed. The three princes had turned too fast and their minds couldn't keep up.
When Zi Yan heard this, she was completely happy and disgusted, as if she had fallen to the bottom. She must have heard it wrong.
"Since Miss Fifth is unwilling to fulfill the engagement, why not cancel the engagement? To be honest, I already have someone I like and dare not delay Miss Fifth, so I want to come and explain everything to Miss Fifth." Nangong Chen was overjoyed, he was still afraid of giving up
The fifth lady was embarrassed, so there was no need to worry about it now.
Dongfang Lie's face changed and he said, "The engagement was given by the emperor, so how can it be abolished? That is a great disrespect to the emperor. If the third prince had another person, he could marry them together. Zi Yan was well-educated and polite...
”
"The Prime Minister doesn't know anything. I have made a vow to marry only one person in this life." Nangong Chen interrupted Dongfang Lie's words and said with confidence.
