Chapter 219: Breaking Branches (11)
The smile on Xi Ruorui's face froze, she never expected to receive such an answer.
Isn't this woman a stupid Bai Tian who doesn't understand anything, why did she start using scheming in just a few days?
Her vigilant gaze roamed Xi Gu'an's face, trying to judge the truth of what the man was saying.
She has no interest in King Ning's princess at all, if she wants to sit, she has to be the supreme queen! And the holy decree did not specify which young lady of the Xi family married into King Ning's mansion, which is also the reason why she has recently brushed the prince's favorability. If a stupid Bai Tian like Xi Gu'an told his father or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seriously, his father might consider his interests because of this, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that he had changed his mind, it would be very detrimental to her future!
Nothing like this can be allowed to happen!
Her mind turned a thousand times, and the expression on her surface had returned to her original smile. She said softly: "An An, although I admire His Royal Highness King Ning very much, I really like Xi Rui, and Xi Rui also ...... me."
As she spoke, she lowered her head with a shy look, revealing a little timidity: "Love can't be forced, I have no love for His Royal Highness King Ning, I hope An An can fulfill us, okay?" ”
As she spoke, there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and her pupils were misty, and she really looked a little pitiful.
Xi Gu'an was helpless, she was really given a headache by this dramatic woman, and now on the surface, she is showing her view of love, not stabbing herself in the bottom of her heart behind her back, to show how good the man she grabbed is, and how loving they are.
Xi Gu'an simply didn't maintain his personality anymore, and said coldly: "What purpose do you have, just say it, don't beat around the bush anymore." ”
At this time, if Xi Ruorui didn't see the difference between Xi Gu'an, it was her mental retardation. She simply put away the weaker expression on her face, stood up, and looked at the woman in front of her expressionlessly.
"Sister, I didn't expect to see you for so many days, but you have become a lot smarter." Even if her temperament has changed from a useless little white lotus to a sharp thorn, Xi Ruorui is not worried, she has read countless articles, and she has seen a lot of scheming house fights and palace fights, how can a rich lady who has known books since she was a child in ancient times, play with the old fritters that she has survived in society for so long.
She smiled, and this time her expression returned to normal: "I'm a little impressed with you." ”
"If you've died once, you'll probably know how it feels," Xi Gu'an's face showed a rare hint of a smile. At that time, the smile jumped in Xi Ruorui's heart, as if the little secrets hidden in his heart were about to be exposed.
It wasn't long before Xi Ruorui reacted, secretly annoyed that he was actually shocked by such a waste.
"You...... You're just an ugly bastard who doesn't like you! ”
"Okay, let's get down to business." Xi Gu'an interrupted her impatiently again, and the contempt in his eyes increased a lot.
Xi Ruorui remembered the purpose of today's visit, and the smile on his face expanded a little. She took out a hairpin letterhead from her pocket and handed it to Xi Gu'an, and after seeing the vigilant expression on the man's face, she showed a smile: "Don't worry, this is just an invitation to a banquet, I really want to invite my sister to participate." ”
As she spoke, she stuffed the thing into Xi Gu'an's hand without a beak, took a step back, and waited for the other party to discover it herself.
Xi Gu'an took it and took a look at it, and found that it was an invitation to the flower viewing conference, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
In the original plot, the original owner also received an invitation letter, but it came from the original owner who was already the crown princess. And that invitation was ostensibly for the selection of talented girls and concubines in the future harem, but I didn't expect that it was held by this scheming sister for the original owner. 20
Her purpose of inviting the original owner was not pure, even with the help of the name of "talented girl", the reason was high-sounding, and she seemed to have completely forgotten the ugly appearance of the original owner, as well as the social phobia personality brought about by the appearance, but very smoothly pushed the original owner to the bright side, so that the original owner's "ugliness" and his "beauty" were completely exposed to the bright side.
Not only that, but I am afraid that the original owner who has been in the deep palace for a long time will not be enough to fight, she also invited His Royal Highness King Ning, who had just returned from handling official business outside, on the grounds of "caring about her sister".
When it comes to His Royal Highness King Ning, although his legs are disabled and his face is said to be fierce, there are people who like this in the end, and many people have a very serious hero complex, and there are many little fans of His Royal Highness King Ning at the banquet. It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Ning has always been a cold and unapproachable character, and it is naturally even more difficult to meet him, so when they heard that His Royal Highness King Ning would come here in this gathering, they were naturally extremely excited.
It's a pity that the good sisters around her also calculated her sister's only marriage this time, and threw the fainted His Royal Highness King Ning and a rich lady on the same bed. If the ordinary little maid is sent away, it will be forgotten, but unfortunately, this rich lady's background is not simple, she has a hero complex in her heart, and she just admired His Royal Highness King Yu Ning, and after being instigated by Xi Ruorui, he decided that he would take this opportunity to rely on His Royal Highness King Ning, and he would not marry!
And this pearl in the palm of his hand is also a headache for the emperor, but he is happy when he has a headache, he can use this reason to target his brother who has no blood.
Who knows, to his surprise, this His Royal Highness King Ning is very easy to speak, he accepted this rich lady very decisively, and tacitly acquiesced to the outside world that the two really love each other, and have already promised for life. It's just that this incident made Xi Gu'an's position a little embarrassing, the appearance of that young lady, the position of the princess naturally had to be abandoned, and she became the object of ridicule in the mouths of all the young ladies.
King Ning didn't mean anything to Xi Gu'an, she thought that it would be okay to accept this person as a good-looking vase, so she always gave her the best conditions, but she didn't think that in the end, it still brought her trouble. He felt ashamed, and after thinking about it, he took this opportunity to transfer her to a secluded place, far away from these rights and wrongs, which was what drove the plot of sneaking away later.
Thinking of this, Xi Gu was a little more vigilant, since she came to this world, the power of the plot has begun to collapse, and now it has reached the point where it is completely uncontrollable, she can't rely on her original view of the plot, it's time to take the initiative.
Seeing her expression change slightly, Xi Ruorui was secretly proud in her heart - she knew that this eldest lady was timid, if she didn't accept it, there would be countless ways to provoke her to participate in this banquet, and when the time came, it would be time for her to "shine".
Hmph, don't think that you can be proud if you marry His Royal Highness King Ning, when you are out of the limelight, let's see if His Royal Highness King Ning will care about you! If something can happen at the banquet again, so that this Xi Gu'an and the identity of "Princess Ning" will be stripped off, it will be even more interesting.
At this time, Xi Gu'an naturally accepted the banquet invitation, and nodded to her unexpectedly: "Thank you, I will go." ”
Xi Ruorui choked, feeling that all the words he wanted to say just now were completely useless, but he had a feeling of punching the cotton, inexplicably aggrieved. But the purpose of this time has been achieved, and there is no point in staying any longer.
She snorted coldly and turned her head to leave, but when she was about to step out of the door, she paused.
Xi Ruorui turned his head and showed a malicious smile: "My sister has to dress up well tomorrow, I heard that His Royal Highness King Ning has rushed back from Jiangnan after disaster relief recently, and he will be passing by our Hundred Flowers Banquet, Her Royal Highness the Queen is very interested in him, and may invite His Royal Highness King Ning to this place." When we meet for the first time, it's better for my sister to pay attention to it and leave a good impression on her future husband, isn't it? ”
Sure enough, as Xi Gu'an thought, the future plot was advanced due to force majeure, and tomorrow will be the first time to see his "partner".
After Xi Ruorui left, Xi Gu'an asked the question that had been circling in his head: "If I am disgusted by His Royal Highness King Ning tomorrow and ask to withdraw from the marriage, will the world plane space collapse?" ”
The system choked, seemingly unthinking about this question at all, and after a while, it said that it would go to the main system to ask. Speaking of which, it suddenly lost its voice, and it seemed that it had gone to the main system space to inquire about the beginning and end of the plot this time.
Xi Gu'an is not worried about tomorrow's plot, and she also has a way to reverse any plot line that is unfavorable to her, but His Royal Highness King Ning, who may be an opponent for a long time in the future, has a hesitant attitude. In the original play, His Royal Highness King Ning is a very considerate person and very careful, and he will still take great care of Xi Gu'an, who does not harm his own interests and is simple-minded, but it also highlights that this person is not simple-minded.
And how could such a person be put away by a little princess so easily as in the original book, but had to marry a rich lady. Behind the plot, is it really the thrust of the heroine's aura, or is it that His Royal Highness King Ning Ling Xiqian is still taking the opportunity to hold some ulterior motives.
Thinking of the so-called "purpose", which was nothing more than those things that fought for power and profit from the court, Xi Guan frowned, and was very dissatisfied with this man for the first time.
