Chapter 23: Mutual Love
Ling Changwu's heart couldn't help but admire Nangong Jin'an for a while, even he couldn't say such a thing in front of so many people.
Suddenly, everyone present was silent to the extreme, and the eldest prince raised his head and re-examined Nangong Jin'an with his own gaze.
It was the first time he had seen such a different woman, probably because of Nangong Jin'an's repeated refusals, the more he wanted to take Nangong Jin'an for himself.
"These things are all men's affairs, and Miss Nangong is not allowed to play with any explanation, and in the near future, I will marry you as my princess as my father requested." The eldest prince was about to leave after speaking, but was directly stopped by Nangong Jin'an.
"I'm afraid that what I just meant, the eldest prince still can't clearly understand what I want to say, I think that with the wisdom of the eldest prince, I can completely know what I said."
"It seems that I really think too highly of the eldest prince, and the meaning of what the little woman said just now is actually to say that there are many men in this world, even if I marry one person casually, I don't want to marry the eldest prince." Nangong Jin'an is still not afraid of the sky and the earth.
In fact, on the way to come, Nangong Jin'an already knew clearly that today's king is a Ming monarch, and he will never ask for his own life for the sake of his children's affection, so Nangong Jin'an will say it fearlessly.
"You...... Okay, you Nangong Jin'an, you are deliberately in the same stream with the second prince, since you are so unwilling to marry this king, then this king has no choice but to do what you want. After speaking, the eldest prince walked directly to the gazebo.
"Wait, no matter what happens, don't worry! I'll take care of you. Ling Changwu whispered in Nangong Jin'an's ear as he walked over.
That's what made Nangong Jin'an's heart feel warm.
Whether it was now or in the past, no one had ever promised to protect him in the most dangerous time, and Ling Changwu couldn't help but say so, and he did the same.
Every time she encountered danger, Ling Changwu was always the first to appear in front of her and guard her side.
Nangong Jin'an's feelings for Ling Changwu didn't even know herself, whether it was because of gratitude or love.
Inside the gazebo.
The eldest prince walked in the front, followed by a group of princes and young ladies, some because they were worried about the eldest prince, and some because they wanted to make fun of Nangong Jin'an's audacity.
Only the second prince really wanted to protect Ling Changwu's safety, while Ling Changwu wholeheartedly wanted to protect Nangong Jin'an's safety.
In this way, a group of people with their own ghosts came to the pavilion together.
"The queen mother, the child has seen the queen mother." The eldest prince looked well-behaved.
From childhood to adulthood, the eldest prince grew up by the queen's side, and the queen gave all her love and care to her precious son.
"My son is quickly excused, I wonder how you young people are getting along?" The queen was happy.
No matter how well they get along, those few people who are favored by her naturally want to be married to their most important son.
"After returning to his mother, the child fell in love with Nangong Jin'an, the eldest lady of Nangong Mansion, at first sight, and was deeply attracted by her beauty and intelligence, and I don't know if I can tie the knot with Miss Nangong." The eldest prince looked domineering.
It was as if he was announcing an object of his own, without any emotion.
When Lin Xiaoniang heard this, how could she let them get married like this, she definitely wouldn't agree.
"I hope the eldest prince thinks twice, Nangong Jin'an's eight characters are really not compatible with you, why don't you take a look at Nangong Yueruo, the second lady of Nangong Mansion." Lin Xiaoniang cautiously tested.
"Ridiculous! These are not things that can be believed, and I, Feng Mingguo, have never believed in these witchcraft. The eldest prince directly rejected Lin Xiaoniang's request without the slightest emotion.
Although the eldest prince directly rejected Lin Xiaoniang's request, the queen had to think twice about this matter, her baby son would be the one who would inherit the throne in the future.
If so, the queen's eight characters are too hard, and they are not suitable for the concubines of the harem, and they are not suitable for the growth of the prince in the future.
"Emperor, don't be so hasty, after all, this is a matter of two people, and the customs of my Fengming country have always been different from other countries."
"What we care about is the love between the mother of the family and the head of the family, but the other concubines are not too tight, that is, the concubine, you have to think twice." The queen was clearly not very supportive of her son's approach.
"After returning to the queen, the courtiers know that since they were children, they have been called the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, and they really can't match the eldest prince, let alone deserve such love from the eldest prince." Nangong Jin'an politely rejected the queen's request.
Everyone present was taken aback, even Lin Xiaoniang and Nangong Yueruo doubted their ears, how could anyone dare to refuse the eldest prince, why would anyone refuse the eldest prince.
After all, in their eyes, the eldest prince is the future king.
"I wonder if Miss Nangong has a better candidate in her heart than my son?" The queen was also shocked by Nangong Jin'an's words.
She never thought that there would be a woman who would dare to directly reject her excellent prince.
Before Nangong Jin'an could speak, Ling Changwu took a step forward and knelt directly on the ground.
"Back to Wang Eniang, I also like Miss Nangong very much, if Eniang can make the decision, Miss Nangong will be married to me."
"In this life, I will definitely promise to love only one person." Ling Changwu's words were like the words of a madman, but they went directly into Nangong Jin'an's heart.
This sentence was also what Nangong Jin'an once said to Ling Changwu, but he didn't expect him to really remember it in his heart.
"Seventh brother, there are some things that can never be said, the abundance of the harem directly affects the inheritance of the heirs, and there must not be only one wife in the entire harem." The second prince kept feeling anxious for Ling Changwu.
Sometimes the second prince could feel that Ling Changwu was pretending to be stupid, but sometimes he always felt that he was really stupid.
"Why do you have so many wives, isn't there only one wife in your life? If the wife dies, even if she becomes the head of the house, she is no longer a wife, and she can only be regarded as a continuation. Ling Changwu's words were almost always sarcastic about Lin Xiaoniang.
The events of that day, the injuries suffered by Nangong Jin'an, Ling Changwu would not choose to give up easily, he would keep it in his heart, and in the future, let those who had hurt Nangong Jin'an be repaid twice.
"These words of the Seventh Prince are true, there is some truth, but the mind of the Seventh Prince is still not very mature, maybe it will be left when Concubine Xi dies, if Miss Nangong does not dislike it, I can do this favor, but I don't know ......" The queen directly set her eyes on Nangong Jin'an.
Nangong Jin'an's heart is very entangled now, she doesn't know how to choose at all, after all, she has Ling Changwu in her heart, but what she wants is a husband who has no emotion.
"Oh, do you still want to be a princess like this? I think the queen probably doesn't know about Nangong Jin'an......" Nangong Yueruo walked slowly from behind, as if she had grasped Nangong Jin'an's very important handle.
"I don't know what the second miss of the Nangong family has!" The queen had no patience.
Although Nangong Yueruo was so well-behaved and sensible, the queen couldn't like it in her heart.
However, since Nangong Yue wants to be friendly with herself so much, it is also excellent to have one more person to take care of these disobedient princes for herself.
"Queen, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so you must not know. Since my eldest sister returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Hou Mansion has never seen any family members come to visit. "Nangong Yueruo's words are undoubtedly telling everyone that those who want to get the power of the Hou Mansion, Nangong Jin'an is of no use to the Hou Mansion at all.
Others couldn't understand such words, how could she not understand the meaning of Nangong Yueruo's words for the queen.
"Then according to the words of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you think that among all the princes and nobles present, which young lady can match my son?" The queen's words are undoubtedly to tell Nangong Yueruo that she can recommend herself and show her loyalty.
When Nangong Yueruo heard this, she took a step forward directly and knelt on Ling Changwu's side, that is, directly in front of the queen.
There is also a handkerchief half-covering his face, tears are constantly rolling in his eyes, and a pitiful look makes people feel pity, jumping on the paper.
"Returning to the Queen, from the first time I saw the eldest prince when I was very young, I already had a place in my heart. He recites poetry like a poet who has come out of a poem. ”
"The way he danced with his sword and sword had simply entered my heart. Why should I not marry him? Just because he is my beloved, the only one in my heart who can match my life. After Nangong Yueruo finished speaking, she pretended to be shy and covered her face with her handkerchief.
When the eldest prince heard this, he felt a wave of disgust in his heart, he had never seen such a brazen person, obviously he had rejected her directly, but she was so shameless, and she still pestered herself.
"Queen Mother, I have made it very clear that I will not marry Nangong Yueruo no matter what, I would rather marry a merchant's daughter as a concubine than marry a woman who is nominally a concubine."
"How did her position as a concubine come about, she knows better than anyone in her heart, I don't want my harem to be in a miasma, even though there are many women, I don't want them to have any means." Although the eldest prince usually looks arrogant and domineering, he is extremely stupid.
But he knew better than anyone else what he wanted or what he wanted, and perhaps this was what the little queen taught him to understand.
