Chapter 22: Reasonable
"I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you use a maid to compare with me. My father was a dignified prime minister. Nangong Yueruo's words almost cried and roared.
"Daughter-in-law? Nangong Yueruo, why do you go out and leave your face at home, you are born of a concubine, and you still want to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, then you don't see if you have the ability. After the eldest prince finished speaking, he saw Nangong Yueruo crying and ran out.
She really couldn't continue to stay here, and endured all the different stares, even Miss An, who was originally walking with her, took the initiative to hide away when the eldest prince said the second sentence.
All the young ladies, seeing such an embarrassing scene, also dispersed in twos and threes.
"Sister Jin'an, I'm really embarrassed just now, I didn't even recognize you." Miss An walked to Nangong Jin'an's side and said in her gentle voice.
"I'm sorry, my mother died a long time ago, and my only brother was killed by me because I was too hard, do you really want to be a sister with me?" Although Nangong Jin'an looks so gentle on the surface, he actually has a look of disgust.
Although Nangong Jin'an can understand such a wall grass, it is the first time she has seen it when she began to rebel in a short period of time.
Nangong Jin'an really has no way to make himself a friend or sister with such a person, but Nangong Jin'an is very happy with Su Chen.
"Humph! Since this is the case, then Miss Nangong and I naturally have nothing to say and continue to talk about it, everyone knows those things about Miss Nangong. ”
"I don't think any of the princes here really want to marry you, and I don't know if you came here today to be boring or to be embarrassed." Miss An said directly.
Since they are destined not to be friends, nor can they be best friends, then there is no use value, and in the eyes of all of them, there is no such ridiculous thing as friendship at all.
"I do!" Ling Changwu walked behind and slowly stepped forward.
"Seventh brother!" The second prince, Ling Huai, directly stopped Ling Changwu and told him not to go any further, then he would definitely offend the eldest prince.
Everyone knows that the queen is quite satisfied with Nangong Jin'an's family background, otherwise she would not have spent a lot of time to organize such a banquet for her alone.
Of course, the second prince didn't want the eldest prince to marry Nangong Jin'an, but he didn't want to put Ling Changwu in danger because of this matter.
"Thank you for the kindness of the second emperor brother, presumably the eldest emperor brother will not compete with a useless stupid brother for a young lady who is too hard." Although Ling Changwu didn't say much, it was enough to say that every sentence was like that, so that there was no reason to refuse.
"I can't imagine that our dignified prince can still say such a thing, I really don't know if it's really stupid or fake!" The third prince stepped forward and said jokingly.
The third prince is a faction of the eldest prince, he has no intention of competing for the throne with anyone, if the eldest prince can become a great king in the future, it will also promise him a lifetime of glory and wealth.
"Third brother, you are slandering my younger brother when you say such things, in the entire mausoleum, who doesn't know that I am a useless prince, neither full of poetry and books, nor outstanding military achievements."
"They say I'm useless, they say I'm a wretch, and that's right." Ling Changwu smiled.
It seemed that he had never been indifferent to this title, and Nangong Jin'an turned to glance at Ling Changwu, she really didn't know what he wanted to do.
If he really tears up this lie that he tried his best to tell in front of everyone now, then he will become a thorn in the side of many people in the future, and who will protect his safety?
"Today is really lively, a second prince who never speaks actually took the initiative to learn to say hello, and a seventh prince who is always hiding in the corner can also say this, which really shocked everyone." The eldest prince, Ling Chu, took the initiative to step forward and said in a bad voice, as if he was now the future king.
He ignores all of them, as if no one ever existed in his eyes.
If you say that you like it, the eldest prince has no personal affection for Nangong Jin'an, and if he wants to marry her, it is nothing more than to look at the face of her uncle and her respected grandfather.
"Big brother, what you said really broke our brother's heart, no matter under any circumstances, we didn't want to fight with you for a single bit, but there are already countless beauties in your harem."
"The seventh brother is still alone, and now, he can like a woman, even if he gives it to him, what does it matter!" The fourth prince walked up and took the initiative to speak for Ling Changwu.
The four princes have always been reluctant to get too close to the eldest prince, although they were all born to the queen, but the queen almost did not pay the slightest attention to this son, not to mention other love.
"Are you all going to openly oppose this king today!" The eldest prince angrily threw all the tea cups on the table on the ground.
Frightened, the servants and maidservants who were waiting on the side all knelt on the ground.
"I am not an object for you to choose, you have the right to choose me, and naturally I also have the right not to agree to you." Nangong Jin'an's face was angry.
She never imagined that one day she would be picked up and picked by a group of men like an object.
I don't even have the right to speak, I want to say that she is also a wandering figure.
Now that he thinks about how he got mixed up in this step, Nangong Jin'an still has a slight gap in his heart.
"It is your blessing that this king can marry you as a concubine, how dare you disobey." The words of the eldest prince were full of great machismo, and Nangong Jin'an couldn't help but reject it in her heart, but what could she do.
After all, in such a dynasty, it was the era of male superiority and female inferiority, but she suddenly wanted to have a mood of wanting to bring women's rights into this era.
"I have been meditating on the Buddha in the Taoist temple for several years, and the Buddhists once said that all living beings are equal in front of the heavens, and everyone has everyone's rights, including love and hatred."
"You don't have the right to choose any of us, not even the Son of Heaven, who doesn't have the ability to be a Buddha." Nangong Jin'an was talking nonsense with a serious face, but she could see the shocked look on the eldest prince's face.
And Ling Changwu's heart was full of joy.
This is like the bold and unrestrained Nangong Jin'an that Ling Changwu saw for the first time, despite every word she said, even every word. Ling Changwu couldn't understand it, but Ling Changwu knew that what Nangong Jin'an was talking about should be the world she said belonged to her.
"Nonsense! Sure enough, the eldest lady of Nangong Mansion has gone crazy, someone is coming! Take her down. The eldest prince looked angry.
Growing up, no one has ever rejected herself, especially a woman.
And in front of so many people, where to put his face as a big prince, now only by taking out the rights that belong to the big prince and imprisoning Nangong Jin'an can he get back a trace of his dignity.
"Brother Emperor, you can't do this, if you let your father know, you will obviously embarrass your father again." The second prince stepped forward, still looking indifferent.
From the time he came in until now, Nangong Jin'an couldn't see any expression on Ling Huai's face, and he had to sigh that this was really a master, and it was really admirable to be able to hide his expression so well.
However, presumably this should also be a very hard life, not able to have your own emotions, let alone let anyone see your emotions.
Nangong Jin'an suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the second prince, although he had never met, but he was a person who made a name for himself distressed.
"Ling Huai! You dare to embarrass me in front of so many people, I'm afraid you did it on purpose. The eldest prince was furious, and he wanted to immediately execute this second prince, who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth.
"The matter of the eldest brother and the second brother was caused by my words, if everyone is so mindful, then why don't I marry Nangong Jin'an, a stinky girl, into my palace and make her suffer." Ling Changwu pretended to be stupid and said.
Nangong Jin'an's heart suddenly wanted to laugh, she had never found out that Ling Changwu was like this, everyone was already blushing, he was able to say such things so frankly.
Nangong Jin'an had to admire Ling Changwu's psychology, he was too powerful.
But of the princes Nangong Jin'an saw, she felt that the only ones who were most likely to become the future kings were the second prince and Ling Changwu, after all, one of the two of them was deeply hidden, and the other was pretending to be crazy and stupid.
They all live in their own ways, not as arrogant and domineering as the eldest prince, and they don't look like a wise monarch at all, although they won't be the kings for too long in the future.
"Thank you for the love of the princes, it's really Jin'an who doesn't want to talk about marriage yet, after all, the death of my mother is not clear, in such a situation, how can I start living my own life." Nangong Jin'an actually said such a thing.
All the people present were already stunned, although in every mansion, there were often concubines who chose to murder their mistresses for the sake of power and status, but no child had ever dared to say such a thing.
When Nangong Jin'an said such a thing, even Ling Changwu, who had always thought that he knew Nangong Jin'an, was shocked.
"What the hell is going on in this woman's heart?"
