Chapter Forty-Eight: What Do I Have to Do With Her?
This feeling of being secretly peeping at a pair of eyes was not pleasant, and even made Chu Nanyue frown.
She was about to leave the banquet with Qingshuang, when she saw Tanglin Yan and the official briefly talk, and then walked towards her.
"General Chu." There was an arbitrary smile on the corner of Dongling Yan's lips, but it didn't take long for him to stop beside Chu Nanyue.
"Your Highness the Seven." Chu Nanyue had no choice but to say hello to him.
Dongling Yan came closer and asked, "General Chu, have you gotten along well with the people of the Chu family recently?" ”
Chu Nanyue knew that the Chu family in his mouth was Chu Nanxuan, who was stuffed in by Concubine Hui's forces, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Officers and soldiers in the army, I have never recognized any family background. ”
"General Chu is quite hard-mouthed." Donglin Yan chuckled, "I don't know if you have rejected my kindness in the past, and now you will regret it." ”
He promised the Chu family to be busy, but also to let the people of the Chu family dangle in front of Chu Nanyue's eyes every day. He knew Chu Nanyue's hatred for the Chu family, but since she was rational enough to suppress it, he didn't mind adding more firewood.
Chu Nanyue thought of the so-called alliance idea, and said resolutely: "I advise His Highness the Seventh to stop using some useless work. ”
Donglin Yan said it vaguely last time. But to put it bluntly, it is to exchange marriage for union and Donglinyan's support for himself, which sounds too fragile. The matter of feelings should not be as cold as Tanglin Yan said, so cold that it becomes a transaction.
What's more, Chu Nanyue's style of acting towards Dongling Yan is far from being summarized in disgust.
Too cold temperament, unfathomable ambition...... Dealing with such a person, the final result is probably only to be devoured by a tiger and wolf. The only choice she Chu Nanyue would make was probably to stay away.
Dongling Yan was not as angry as last time, but suddenly stared at Chu Nanyue, with deep meaning in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "What if I don't give up?" For General Chu, I am determined to win. ”
In public, even though there was no one around and would not hear their discussions, Tanglinyan's words still seemed too bold.
"Your Highness the Seventh, no, it's time to call you His Royal Highness King Qi." Chu Nanyue corrected herself. "If you talk about family background, there are naturally women who are thousands of times better than me, in the final analysis, I can't help Your Highness, Your Highness still has the wrong target."
"I'm different from them. I don't care so much about my family. Tanglin Yan smiled.
What's more, he just wanted to use Chu Nanyue for a while, if Chu Nanyue was really useless one day, he would go to find other help.
Chu Nanyue was silent, and Dongling Yan thought she was thinking about it, so she also kept silent.
After all, in terms of identity, Chu Nanyue is indeed inferior to herself. It is normal for the prince of a country to treat her with such sincerity and not mind her family background, and she will be shaken by this.
In the distance, young men and women joked with each other, and some gave each other herbs and prayed for each other's blessings.
Tanglin Yan glanced around, lowered his body, and plucked a peony flower from a cluster of flower branches beside him.
Peony is a thing that is destined for the Shangsi Festival.
Dongling Yan took the flowers, sent them to Chu Nanyue, and praised: "General Chu, peony with military clothing may be more beautiful." ”
Chu Nanyue didn't take the flower, but asked Qingshuang beside him to take it, and then Qingshuang put the flower back on the flower branch.
"Peony is not worthy of armor." Chu Nanyue chuckled, "It should be in its original position, not misplaced like Fang Cai." ”
Dongling Yan frowned, Chu Nanyue didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to understand. The only thing he could perceive was that Chu Nanyue didn't agree to him at all.
He is the king of Qi, and many women in the capital are obsessed with him, but he doesn't like those vulgar fans.
And the person who can reject him twice is probably only Chu Nanyue in front of him.
Interesting. Maybe he misestimated Chu Nanyue's perseverance, she was different from other tools.
Dongling Yan walked up to Chu Nanyue and took the flower in his hand again: "Is the flower itself misplaced, or is someone self-defeating and misplaced it now?" ”
He looked at Chu Nanyue, who was frowning, and kneaded the petals of the peony flower little by little, and the flower quickly withered away.
"It's time to grasp yourself. General Chu, if the flower has no help, it will wither too quickly. Donglinyan chuckled.
Chu Nanyue's eyes were still calm, without showing the slightest fear, and finally said: "But people are not flowers after all." ”
She, Chu Nanyue, is not a person who can be willingly used by Dongling Yan with a sentence or two of coercion and temptation. For Donglinyan, Chu Nanyue's original intention of just wanting to stay away has never changed.
Seeing that Chu Nanyue chose to turn around and leave without hesitation, Dongling Yan's face changed slightly.
"The seventh brother didn't seem to have a pleasant chat with General Chu just now." In the distance, Tanglin Shuo walked over.
Dongling Yan suppressed the arrogance in his heart and replied: "It's probably too far away, the sixth brother didn't see it clearly, and I had a good conversation with General Chu." ”
"Really?" Tanglin Shuo raised his eyes to look at Donglin Yan, and his eyes seemed to see through Donglin Yan.
He can somewhat understand Tanglinyan's intentions, but after all, he is a royal brother, and some words are too clear, and they are not good for either of them.
"Sixth brother is so idle, but I don't know where the eldest lady of the Xie family next to you has gone at this time?" Tanglin Yan asked as if he was curious.
Hearing Xie Yinhua, Tanglin Shuo really showed an irritated expression, throughout the banquet, Xie Yinhua followed him, and he could only get rid of it for a moment by constantly making excuses.
"I have nothing to do with Xie Yinhua, if you want to find her, you can ask others." Tanglin Shuo said indifferently.
Donglin Yan looked at him with a smile: "Isn't it okay?" Sixth brother, the queen mother likes her very much, and the Xie family is really good. ”
Dongling Yan looked at Dongling Shuo, whose brows were becoming more and more frowned, and asked meaningfully: "Why, the sixth brother has Miss Xie, under such a god-given fate, do you still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs?" ”
Tanglin Shuo is different from him, everything he does has the support of his mother, and even secretly wooing Chu Nanyue, which is also agreed by the mother.
The queen intends to promote the marriage of her niece and son, which is not too much of a secret in the royal family. And it seems that Tanglin Shuo's own thoughts are very different from the queen's meaning.
Dongling Yan looked at the silent and forbearant Dongling Shuo, knowing that his words had hit the sore spot of Dongling Shuo at this time.
He could chase Chu Nanyue like a boat until Chu Nanyue agreed, but Tanglin Shuo had too many worries compared to him.
The Xie family can help Tanglin Shuo, and it can also make Tanglin Shuo breathless because of such a huge favor.
Not far away, Xie Yinhua was looking for Tanglin Shuo everywhere, and when she saw the trace of Donglin Shuo, she shouted happily and affectionately: "Sixth brother! ”
Tanglin Shuo didn't respond, only heard a chuckle from Donglin's throat: "Sixth brother, let's get busy first, I'll take a step forward first." ”
"No." Tanglin Shuo replied coldly.
The two passed by, politely maintaining the etiquette that should be between brothers, but the air was filled with gunsmoke.
