Chapter 491: A Woman's Scheming
When he came out of the palace with Xiao Zhengzhen and Wang Zhengrong, Xiao Qiongzhi unexpectedly found that Prince Xuan was actually standing not far from the gate of the palace.
She immediately remembered that she had made an appointment with Prince Xuan before, and together she would go and get the engine that Prince Xuan had brought from Nanqi and that was now in the post house.
She pointed to Prince Xuan and whispered to Xiao Zhengzhen that she had already made an appointment with Prince Xuan and had important things to do with Prince Xuan in the afternoon, and then greeted Prince Xiao.
At this time, it was already the end of the afternoon.
"Zhi'er, I've been waiting for you here for almost an hour, and you haven't had lunch yet, have you used it?" As soon as Prince Xuan saw Xiao Qiongzhi, he asked with a smile.
"I've already had lunch in the palace. Since you haven't had lunch yet, I'll have lunch with you before I go get the engine. Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly said apologetically.
When she and Xiao Xuanliang left the Yanyu Pavilion together, she just thought that she could get the other nine suspected immortal things, so she had already made an appointment with Prince Xuan, and after receiving the poetry competition reward in the Yanyu Pavilion, she would go to the post house to get the engine together.
It's not hers.
"Okay." Prince Xuan was not polite, and immediately took Xiao Qiongzhi and rushed to the restaurant near the palace to eat.
The shopkeeper of Yuekelai Restaurant seems to be very familiar with Prince Xuan.
When Xiao Qiongzhi went in with Hongxing, Qingtao and Prince Xuan, the shopkeeper immediately greeted them and led them to eat in the hall.
I don't know if it's because it's past noon, or because the shopkeeper has dispersed the other guests, although they are eating in the hall, but in the entire hall, there are only Prince Xuan and Xiao Qiongzhi present.
There were quite a few people who served, in addition to the shopkeeper himself, there were four other men waiting on the side, ready to call at any time.
Moreover, Prince Xuan had just sat down, and before he started to order, the dishes came up later.
There are a total of twelve, and they are all Xiao Qiongzhi's favorite meals at home.
It is estimated that this is all Prince Xuan's kitchen lady looking for the prince's mansion, and he inquired about Xiao Qiongzhi's eating hobbies in advance, so he did it deliberately.
So much so that when Prince Xuan started eating, Xiao Qiongzhi watched, watched, and couldn't help but be a little greedy, and in the end, she grabbed the dishes and chopsticks very unceremoniously, and started with her favorite pig's foot emperor and called Hua Chicken among the twelve dishes.
Prince Xuan looked happy at first, curled the corners of his lips, and wisely did not make a sound.
Later, seeing that Xiao Qiongzhi's appetite seemed to be better than him, he felt that something was wrong when he ate seven large pieces of pig's feet and two chicken legs and one chicken wing.
He reminded with some concern: "Zhi'er, haven't you had lunch in the palace?" How can you still eat so much? Be careful that eating too much hurts your stomach! ”
"It's okay, for lunch today, my grandfather left me, my father, and Wang Shangshu of the Criminal Department to dine together."
"And Wang Shangshu is an outsider, in front of outsiders, I eat, which has always been very in line with the ladylike style of this era." Xiao Qiongzhi explained with a smile while sandwiching another chicken claw to eat.
Prince Xuan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Zhi'er, don't worry, if you marry me in the future, you can eat whatever you want, you can eat as much as you want, I will definitely not give idle people the opportunity to eat with you!" ”
"Come on, I won't marry you, there are more than a dozen rotten peach blossoms around you, and I don't know how many potential rotten peach blossoms there are, I'm not interested in being counted by them anymore!" Xiao Qiongzhi glared at Prince Xuan angrily and said very seriously.
She made up her mind last time, for someone like Prince Xuan, who is reliable but has too many rotten peach blossoms, to be an ally, she can also consider being a husband, so forget it!
"Zhi'er, don't worry, I won't have rotten peach blossoms soon! Because, my queen mother has promised me to find a way to cancel the marriage contracts of my so-called fiancées and me within half a month. Prince Xuan glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile and said with confidence.
"Wouldn't it? Your so-called fiancées have just been born and have a marriage contract with you, so they must have put a lot of effort into pleasing your mother in the past fifteen years. ”
"And there are eleven of them in all, and there are always one or two of them that are what your mother wants, right? What reason do you have to make your mother willing to let all of them cancel their engagement to you at once? Xiao Qiongzhi was taken aback and felt a little incredulous.
"Originally, this matter was indeed a little impossible, but I made it clear to my mother that you would not marry in this life, she came to Lanling quietly out of curiosity a few days ago, and today I have seen you with my own eyes."
"She happily told me that she likes you very much, and those eleven rotten peach blossoms together are not as good as a single hair of yours, and then she promised to find a way to cancel the marriage contract between my so-called fiancées and me within half a month." Prince Xuan blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
Xiao Qiongzhi had an idea, and asked curiously: "Your queen mother, is it the beautiful woman who followed you today and snatched the Yaoguang comb from your hand?" ”
"How clever! That's her! Prince Xuan said.
"Then did you get the Yaoguang comb back from her?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked again.
Prince Xuan shook his head and said, "My queen mother said that she will keep the Yaoguang comb for you, and when our marriage is finalized in the future, she will give the Yaoguang comb to you as a dowry." ”
"If your queen mother really likes me, she won't snatch the Yaoguang comb from you in front of you and me, knowing that I like the Yaoguang comb at that time."
"Prince Xuan, I don't need you to cancel the marriage contract with those eleven noble girls for me, because I don't plan to confirm my marriage before I turn twenty."
"But despite this, I would like to remind you that, out of my intuition as a woman, I do not believe a word of what your mother promised you, and besides, I do not believe that she would be willing to take out the Yaoguang comb and give it to anyone."
"She should use the Yaoguang comb for herself in her lifetime." Xiao Qiongzhi said with certainty.
Moreover, in her heart, she was actually very angry with Prince Xuan, the queen mother, including Prince Xuan, who was also a little disappointed.
After all, Prince Xuan has been deceived by Song Xiaoxiao who pretended to be her in modern times, and he has not long remembered it until now, so easily, he was deceived by a woman like his mother who is obviously not good at stubble, it is really stupid.
It seems that in the future, to be friends with Prince Xuan, in addition to guarding against Prince Xuan's rotten peach blossoms, you also have to guard against Prince Xuan's queen mother, which is really troublesome.
"Zhi'er, you're too confident. Trust me, your instincts must be wrong this time. ”
"You don't know, my mother has always been a person who says the same, since this time I took the initiative to promise to find a way to cancel the marriage contracts of my so-called fiancées and me within half a month, I will definitely be able to do it."
"Also, that Yaoguang comb is just a suspected immortal thing, and it is not a real immortal thing, a good thing in my mother's hand, there are some of them, how can it be for a comb to offend someone who has to marry his son?" Prince Xuan didn't believe Xiao Qiongzhi's words at all, and still said confidently.
Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to roll her eyes at him and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you." Just bet on whether your mother can successfully cancel the marriage contract between your so-called fiancées and you within half a month. ”
"If you lose, in the future, you can rest assured that you will be an ally with me in your career, and never try to pursue me again. If you win, I'll be engaged to you next year, how about it? ”
"Yes, great!" Prince Xuan was overjoyed and said with bright eyes.
