Chapter 227: Breaking Branches (19)
When she arrived at the courtyard, she found that everyone was waiting for dispatch around the perimeter, and all she could vaguely see was red.
A subordinate saw him with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted inside: "Madame, Madam, the second young lady is here." ”
Hearing this, Yang Manqing's smile was stunned, and the dry smile mask on his face couldn't be held back after all.
She had heard from Xi Ruorui's mouth that His Royal Highness King Ning was not ordinary to Xi Gu'an, but she didn't expect that it would come to the point of hiring him in person!
No, this must be just a superficial effort for the emperor to see.
However, after really welcoming Ling Xiqian, the expression on her face was completely ugly-this subordinate position, except for the one who really got into the heart, she could definitely see that although His Royal Highness King Ning's main task was to come to the Xi family to recruit, in fact, he made such a big move to knock them and let them see clearly that Xi Gu'an was the person she valued by Ling Xiqian, and she could not be bullied by outsiders.
Looking at this mountain of dowry gifts, Yang Manqing was extremely flustered, but on the surface, he smiled extremely brightly. And Xi Ruorui next to her was about to break the handkerchief, looking at the piles of treasures, each by one is priceless, looking at Ling Xiqian's extremely handsome face, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Who in the end said that His Royal Highness King Ning is fierce and vicious, and it is extremely terrifying Although this person in front of him is sitting on a wheeled car, his momentum is not weaker than the other person next to him, although he is cold and detached, but his demeanor is upright, so that any woman will admire the person who is extremely admired when she sees it. Coupled with this monstrous power, who could refuse his warmth.
Thinking of Ling Xiqian's excessively gentle attitude towards Xi Gu'an, that gaze seemed to be as if she could only accommodate her alone, which was really jealous. How could such a dazzling character fall in love with Xi Gu'an's waste.
If, if this man is also devoted to himself......
Thinking of this, Xi Ruorui's eyes rolled - she is better looking and more talented than Xi Gu'an, and in the future, these modern words and knowledge in her head can also become a great help for this person, which will definitely make this man realize that he is countless times better than Xi Gu'an's embroidered pillow, and let Ling Xiqian become his subordinate under his skirt.
Thinking of this, Xi Ruorui's face showed a smug smile, and his attitude towards Ling Xiqian was a little gentler. She held the cup in her hand, and came to Ling Xiqian with her graceful waist swinging.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, this is the fragrant tea that my father brought from outside the city a few days ago, it has the effect of calming the nerves and comforting the heart, can you taste it or not."
Ling Xiqian lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and ignored her.
The smile on Xi Ruorui's face froze, and she secretly hated this old man for really understanding the amorous feelings, her body froze in place, and her eyes were full of grievances.
The guards on the side received Ling Xiqian's eye signal, took the initiative to take a step forward and blocked in front of Xi Ruorui, and said coldly: "No need, my master doesn't like to drink tea." ”
Xi Ruorui's face looked a little better, and he smiled slightly: "It's because I can't entertain well, we still have some special fruits imported from the Western Regions here, it's not as good as Your Highness......"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a guard hurrying over: "Miss, madam, the second miss is here." ”
Hearing this, the two of them didn't make any big moves, Ling Xiqian had already turned his wheelchair and came outside, and when Xi Gu'an looked dazed and shocked, he took the initiative to grab Xi Gu'an's wrist and led him into the house.
Yang Manqing's face became extremely ugly, Ling Xiqian obviously didn't take her as a housewife seriously! In front of himself, he completely ignored the two of them, and affectionately pulled Xi Gu'an to the main position.
Although she was dissatisfied, she still had to keep smiling: "An An, is your body okay today?" As she spoke, she took a step towards Xi Gu'an's position, but at this time, she was bumped by a girl who rushed up from nowhere, just rubbing off the scarf that Xi Gu'an was hanging on her cheeks.
For a moment, the flawed face was exposed in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the corners of Yang Manqing's mouth rose slightly-it seems that it is the right choice to notify the backyard later, this Xi Gu'an will definitely not spend time putting on makeup on an important day today and neglect His Royal Highness King Ning, then it must be to choose something to cover up to trim herself, and now it seems that her guess is really good.
Seeing the gazes of everyone, Yang Manqing's face instantly changed to a look of self-blame and worry, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xi Gu'an to stand up, angrily scolding the maid who knelt on the ground and bowed her head to admit her mistake.
"What are you going to do! Is there anyone as hairy as you? "New Town
She glanced at Ling Xiqian worriedly, "An An's health has always been very bad, which makes me very worried about his body, I hope that His Royal Highness King Ning can take good care of An An in the future instead of us." ”
She looked like she was really a good housewife, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes full of worry. However, what shocked her heart was that she was sure that Ling Xiqian had seen Xi Gu'an's mutilated face clearly, but unfortunately, she couldn't see a trace of disgust and disgust in this man's eyes, but it was still the gentleness and attention that was not the same as looking at ordinary people.
How could it be possible, could it be that Ling Xiqian had already seen Xi Gu'an's ugly appearance, and he didn't care at all?! Could it be that it is because His Royal Highness King Ning has disabled legs and a bad reputation and feels inferior, so he doesn't care about this ugly bastard?
No, it can't be, she must not let this Highness treat her differently! Her eyes rolled and fell on the slim little daughter beside her, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also good, but recently I heard that the court is in turmoil, and the few things His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done are very unpopular with the eyes of the old emperor, and he has been deprived of a lot of real power. What if......
Even if his daughter is not married to the prince, then there are several distant cousins' daughters, all of whom are national colors and fragrances, and after a long time, His Royal Highness King Ning will naturally not be willing to give up pearls and choose Puyu.
Xi Gu'an saluted Yang Manqing: "Thank you aunt for your care, my body has been getting better these days, and the ginseng soup given by my aunt in the past few days is also very effective, I feel that my whole body is full of energy." ”
Hearing her take the initiative to mention the ginseng soup, Yang Manqing breathed a sigh of relief, and covered the smug smile at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief - where would she be so kind to give the ginseng soup that nourishes her body to drink, it is a "good medicine" specially prepared for this Xi Gu'an, according to the master of the medicine, although this ginseng soup will make the woman strong and healthy in a short period of time after drinking it for a long time, but the toxins in the medicinal properties will damage the woman's foundation for a long time, not only is it difficult to get pregnant, but also the later stage of long-term use makes her body more and more "strong and dry". It's about ten years of life.
Thinking that this short-lived ghost was about to disappear from front of him, Yang Manqing couldn't hold back the smile in his heart.
Only then did Ling Xiqian say the first long sentence when he got started: "Gu An is my future princess, I will take good care of her, and I will not let her be hurt in the slightest by those who are not pure-minded." ”
Yang Manqing only felt that the sharp gaze of the man in front of her was as piercing as if it was nailed to her body, as if it meant something. Her body trembled, and she didn't dare to look at the man with a powerful aura in front of her anymore.
At this time, Xi Fangguo had already hurried back, and after seeing the things in the house, he was also surprised.
Soon, though, his face turned into a smile. He laughed and patted Ling Xiqian's shoulder and said, "The virtuous son-in-law came from afar, and the old man missed the welcome, I'm really sorry." It's a pity that the emperor invited the old man to Beijing for a while, and the emperor didn't dare to do it. ”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister is polite," Ling Xiqian nodded respectfully but without losing his momentum, and did not feel inferior at all, "This time the son-in-law did not notify in advance, it was my fault." However, An An and I have the same heart, and I hope that the Prime Minister can fulfill it. When Xi Gu'an heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and glared at Ling Xiqian, who was writing and acting by himself here, only to feel that in these worlds, how could this man be so decisive and domineering, and he was extremely narcissistic.
Xi Fangguo said a few words "Okay, good", with a satisfied look on his face.
"You two talented women, I, as a father, am also happy for you."
Although he doesn't like his second daughter, he attaches more importance to his own interests, as long as it is helpful to his future career, even if he doesn't like it anymore, he has to pinch his nose and endure it. And this His Royal Highness King Ning's current position is ascending to the sky, if he can become the other party's father-in-law, it will not be a problem to intervene in Wen Zaiwu in the future.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even more proud. Thinking about his future days, the identity of a son-in-law of King Ning, and the identity of the future uncle of the country, he couldn't help but flutter.
But the prince's side......
Thinking of the news he heard in Beijing today, Xi Fangguo's heart was a little heavier.
After greeting a few people, the marriage date was set with the support of the parents of the two parties, as a woman in ancient society, she did not have the right to make her own decisions, so Xi Guan could only listen with a smile on the side, and made himself stupid and sweet.
Soon it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and it was the time of the New Year, and in the past, the people around were busy with the New Year's affairs at home, but this year, it was a little different.
While buying vegetables, a few small stall vendors were still chatting: "Have you heard, His Royal Highness King Ning is getting married." ”
"That's inevitable, His Royal Highness's wedding is ten miles of red makeup, and there is more than three months of porridge, and rice and meat are sent, everyone in the capital can benefit, so that we, the ordinary people, don't know how happy we can be! This is an honor that ordinary women can't get. ”
"Tut-tut, what a fairy-like character that woman is."
