After walking out of the secret room, the guards guarding outside looked at Wei Changtian with doubts and wariness.
However, Wei Changtian didn't care and just ordered casually: "Take me out."
"..."
Several guards looked at each other, and then someone stepped forward.
"Master Wei, please come this way."
"Um."
Wei Changtian took a step forward and followed this person out, without even looking back from the beginning to the end.
rebellion?
Haha, do I look stupid?
Wei Changtian still knows very well how many pounds he weighs.
Although he knew that Ning Qingyu probably had a trump card that had not yet been exposed, he did not think that the prince could really take Shuzhou away from Ning Yongnian.
Taking a step back, even if Ning Qingyu really succeeded and became the "King of Shuzhou", the benefits he would get would be far outweighed by the risks he would take.
Money? Rights?
Give me a break.
daughter?
To make matters worse, in the current situation, Ning Qingyu may not be willing to marry him even if he gives her away for free.
Wei Changtian didn't know why Shao Ying'an and others took refuge in Ning Qingyu, but for him, this price was not enough.
Thinking about it, he quickly followed the guards to the gate of the palace.
Ning Yuke is waiting here, and it seems that she has never left.
"Master Wei, are you going back?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian glanced at Princess Rou'an, who probably didn't know what "big thing" her biological father was going to do, and nodded.
"I have already met the prince, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Well, then I'll let the carriage take you back..."
"Master Wei! Please wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a call came from not far away, it was an old man who looked like a butler.
He quickly ran to the two of them and handed a wooden box in his hand to Wei Changtian.
"Mr. Wei, you were in a hurry just now and I forgot to give this to you. I specially asked me to deliver it to you."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian took the wooden box, opened it, glanced at it, and then closed it again.
It was the armor Ning Qingyu wore that day, and it was neatly stacked in the box.
The old guy is quite sensible and knows that business cannot be done with justice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the treasure!"
Wei Changtian thanked him and happily accepted this treasure.
Although it was an accident that he saved the four members of the Wangfu family, he was still qualified to receive this reward.
"Young master, you're welcome."
The housekeeper bowed and turned his head to Ning Yuke.
"Princess, the prince has asked you to personally send Young Master Wei back to the mansion. He also said that there will be a lantern show in the south of the city tonight. If Young Master Wei is interested, you can accompany him to see it... If it's late, I won't do it tonight."
You can also go back home."
"..."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke were both stunned.
The previous sentence can be regarded as "the etiquette is in place", but this last sentence...
Doesn’t it mean the same as “My daughter brought her ID card today” in her previous life?!
You are blatantly “giving your daughter away”!
Wei Changtian said in his heart that it seemed that Ning Qingyu was still obsessed with him, and at the same time he was a little confused as to why it was Ning Yuke.
Obviously, he had always acted to be closer to Ning Yuzhu.
But he probably figured it out after a while.
It is estimated that his "uncooperative" performance just now made Ning Qingyu feel that it was not worthy to give away the "higher value" second daughter. On the contrary, the "defective" eldest daughter was more suitable.
Originally, it was difficult for Ning Yuke to marry because of the scar on her face. If she could marry her, it would be considered a "use of waste".
As for Ning Yuzhu, who has no flaws and is more suitable for marriage at an age, she will naturally be used as an important bargaining chip to win over others.
Good guy, is this the family affection of the emperor's family?
Love it, love it.
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, but Ning Yuke only lost his mind for a moment, and then nodded lightly.
"I see."
After saying this, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked Wei Changtian in a low voice: "Master Wei, then... shall we go?"
"..."
Wei Changtian was originally prepared to refuse directly, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his tune.
"Sorry for the trouble, princess."
"It's out of the way."
The two got into the carriage one after the other and soon disappeared at the gate of the palace.
...
Since they were going to enjoy the lanterns together in the evening, Wei Changtian naturally had to take care of Ning Yuke's dinner.
Hearing that the princess wanted to stay at the house for dinner, Yuan'er and others were busy all afternoon. Finally, they cooked a meal of delicacies and were kicked out of the dining room by Wei Changtian.
Yuan'er and several servants just thought that they were of low status and unworthy of serving the princess, and didn't take it seriously.
However, Liang Qin was quite unhappy.
"Humph, isn't she just a princess? What's so great about her!"
In the side hall, Liang Qin angrily poked at the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks, facing a large table of dishes without taking a bite.
"Miss Qin'er, why don't you eat vegetables?"
Yuan'er asked quietly from the side: "Is it not to your liking? How about I ask the cook to make something else?"
"No, I can't eat it!"
Liang Qin put down his chopsticks and subconsciously looked at the closed door opposite the small courtyard.
"Yuan'er, what do you think Brother Changtian and Princess Rou'an are doing in there?"
"ah?"
Yuan'er was stunned: "Of course it's to eat, what else can I do?"
"Then why aren't we allowed in for dinner?!"
"Maybe it's the princess, she has a distinguished status..."
"Only a ghost can believe it!"
Liang Qin stamped his feet dissatisfied and wanted to eavesdrop, but felt that such behavior was too annoying, so in the end he had to sit and sulk.
Yuan'er looked at her and suddenly burst into laughter.
Liang Qin asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing?"
"Qin, Miss Qin'er, you looked like a person just now, I couldn't hold it back for a while..."
Yuan'er covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.
But Liang Qin was even more confused.
"Like a person? Like who?"
"Like a lady."
"Madam? You mean... Lu Jingyao?"
"OK."
Yuan'er nodded and explained seriously: "Madam always gets sulky every time she sees the young master alone with other women."
"And every time I'm angry, I always skip meals... just like you, Miss Qin'er."
"I...who is like her!"
Liang Qin's face turned red, and as if to prove that what he said was true, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
While eating, she whispered something difficult to understand, such as "Brother Changtian and I have known each other since childhood" and "I'm not petty", which made everyone laugh. The atmosphere inside and outside the side room was filled with joy.
Different from the relaxation here, the atmosphere in the main hall at this time is quite subtle.
Ning Yuke naturally knew that Wei Changtian drove others away for her own sake, but even when facing Wei Changtian alone, she still hesitated when taking off her veil.
"Princess, why don't I go out first and call me after you finish eating?" Wei Changtian asked.
"..."
Ning Yuke was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head: "No, it's not necessary."
After a while.
The veil slid down tremblingly, one of them lowered his head and said nothing, while the other looked calm.
"Princess, let's eat."
"yes......"
"Taste this."
Wei Changtian gave Ning Yuke a piece of food and took two more bites before getting to the point and finally revealing his purpose.
"Princess, maybe I can get rid of the scars on your face."
"Pap..."
The silver chopsticks fell to the ground, and Ning Yuke suddenly raised his head, but before he could speak, he heard Wei Changtian continue:
"But I have to trouble the princess to do me a favor."
