Chapter 343: Marry her
That night, after Xiao Hanyin came back, Liu Qingshao immediately told him what happened.
After all, it was impossible for her to hide the matter of going to Chengwangfu from Xiao Hanyin, and the other party hinted that she wanted to bring her husband.
Liu Qingshao knew very well in her heart that the other party came prepared.
Today, whether she agrees to take over the business or not, she can't escape going to the palace.
"It's only been half a month, and their husband and wife can't sit still!" Xiao Hanyin's expression was cold.
He thought that if he and Liu Qingshao cautiously avoided each other, they would not get involved in the grievances between King Cheng and the emperor, but the other party refused to let them go.
"King Cheng and his wife have been deliberately entangled, what is going on?" Liu Qingshao felt that there was something strange about their husband and wife's behavior.
She and Xiao Hanyin were about to close the door, but they still refused to let go, and Liu Qingshao was very unhappy in her heart.
"I'll accompany you in a few days!" Xiao Hanyin was very dissatisfied with what their husband and wife were doing.
Xiao Hanyin had always planned that the well water would not interfere with the river water, but they had to break the boundary, how could he not be angry.
However, no matter what the king and his wife have in their hearts, they don't want to use them.
"Good!" Liu Qingshao didn't know the bottom in her heart, and now that Xiao Hanyin offered to go with her, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, she is not familiar with Chengwang and his wife, and the other party has a high status, so if they make some requests, they are not easy to refuse.
This is also the reason why Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin have been avoiding them, in her opinion, as long as they don't touch, there won't be so much trouble.
Who knew what was supposed to come, but it came in the end, and they couldn't avoid it in the end.
Five days later, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao were ready to go to Chengwang's Mansion for an appointment.
Since they have all agreed, they will not break their word and gain weight.
Xiao Hanyin and she are both people who keep their promises.
No matter what the purpose of the couple is this time, they can only face it.
The couple had just gone out, but they happened to meet the prince who came to look for them.
"Your Highness!" The two immediately welcomed her in.
"Where are you going?" When the prince saw that they looked like they were going out, a trace of doubt instantly swelled up in his eyes.
In recent days, Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin have almost no sense of existence in a low-key manner, except for staying in the mansion in the last dynasty.
The prince happened to come to Xiao Hanyin for something, thinking that they hadn't been going out recently, so he brought someone over directly.
Who would have thought that he would come so unfortunately.
"Uchiko and I are going to Chengwang's Mansion!" After Xiao Hanyin glanced at the crown prince, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"What are you doing in Chengwangfu?" The crown prince said with a frown.
He didn't think that Xiao Hanyin and his wife would go to visit King Cheng and his wife like other ministers in the court.
These two people have always hated flattery the most, and even to the emperor, they never disdain to bow their heads and curry favor.
"Princess Cheng came to the mansion before and specially invited us to the mansion as guests!" Xiao Han said in secret.
"Inviting you to be a guest?" How did the prince think that Princess Cheng's behavior was a little unusual.
Princess Cheng's status is much higher than that of Xiao Hanyin and their husbands and wives.
As a princess, why did she suddenly come to Liu Qingshao, and even took the initiative to invite them to the mansion as guests?
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, after all, after Princess Cheng came back, she had always been very low-key, except for often meeting with other ladies in the imperial city, she had not done anything that would have lost her identity.
He had no interest in King Cheng's family affairs.
However, the prince knows the past of the emperor and King Cheng.
"Do you want Your Highness to come with us?" Xiao Hanyin was reluctant to go in the first place, but now that the prince has found it himself, he doesn't mind having multiple companions.
After Liu Qingshao heard Xiao Hanyin's words, she knew what he was thinking in his heart.
However, she agreed very much in her heart, after all, if the prince could go with them, even if the prince and his wife had any other thoughts, they should not be revealed.
A dark glint crossed the prince's eyes.
Actually, he didn't think about going to King Cheng's Mansion with Xiao Hanyin and his wife, after all, he was not invited, but thinking of King Cheng's abnormality after returning to the imperial city, his father was abnormal, and the prince still decided to go over.
Whether King Cheng and his wife really want them to come to the door as guests, or if they have other plans, he will know when he goes.
So, the three of them got on the carriage to Chengwang's mansion together.
During this period, the prince did not even mention the purpose of his visit.
Xiao Hanyin guessed that he should have nothing important to do, and he had to leave it to him to find a way, otherwise with the prince's temperament, he would have said it directly.
The crown prince is different from the emperor, his trust in Xiao Hanyin is more pure, and there is no relationship of interest.
They have grown up together in the palace since they were children, and the prince never doubted Xiao Hanyin's loyalty to him......
After the three of them arrived at the Chengwang Mansion, they saw the people of the palace as soon as they got off the carriage, and they went in to report, so they waited outside for a while.
Soon Princess Cheng came out in person.
"The courtiers knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!" Princess Cheng originally only invited Liu Qingshao, but now even her husband and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty have also come.
Princess Cheng felt a little surprised.
However, when the prince came to the palace as a guest, she, as the head of the palace, naturally had to greet her in person.
So, Princess Cheng immediately invited the three of them in, and her expression was a little subtle during the period. I read books
Princess Cheng thought she was hiding it well, but she didn't know that she had already been noticed by Liu Qingshao.
She obviously didn't expect the prince to come, so the surprise that flashed on her face didn't have time to hide.
When the prince and Xiao Hanyin walked into the backyard, they found that there were a lot of people who became princesses today, and they all seemed to come to visit.
Not only that, but the prince also saw the woman in white that he saw in the prime minister's mansion before......
The woman wore a pale blue dress today, and stood among the women, looking fresh and beautiful, and the prince saw her at a glance.
After Liu Qingshao noticed the prince's gaze, she looked at Xiao Hanyin suspiciously.
She hadn't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion before, so she didn't know the woman.
Xiao Hanyin saw her puzzled eyes, so he whispered in her ear, "When I accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, the woman in the pale blue dress happened to be dancing in the garden, and His Royal Highness had a good impression of her!" ”
"Looks like you've been through a lot that day!" Liu Qingshao glanced at him with a smile.
"The emperor wants His Highness to marry a wife as soon as possible, so he specially arranged for a few women with prominent status in the imperial city to look at His Highness!" In the eyes of other princes, the emperor may not be a good father.
However, he really loves the prince......
"Your Highness has taken a fancy to that woman, why don't you just show it to the emperor?" Liu Qingshao was very curious about this.
"The emperor proposed to let His Highness accept this woman as a concubine, but His Highness refused!" Xiao Han said in secret.
"Isn't His Highness wanting to marry her?" If this is the case, Liu Qingshao can look up to the prince.
Although the crown prince is modest and polite, he is the prince of the imperial court, and his backyard is destined to have only one woman.
"I don't know!" Xiao Hanyin was not interested in the private affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all.
No matter what reason the crown prince rejected the emperor, it was a matter between their father and son.
Liu Qingshao glanced at the prince meaningfully, and found that his eyes had been on the woman.
He had apparently fallen in love with the woman at first sight.
However, since he rejected the emperor's proposal, he must have his own plans in his heart, and it has nothing to do with them.
"Han Yin, what do you think I have to do to make that woman be willing to be with me?" The prince asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin were directly stunned.
They had no idea that the crown prince would ask such a thing.
"Does Your Highness know her identity?" Xiao Hanyin raised his eyebrows.
Previously, the prince rejected the emperor seriously, and he thought that the prince just had a good impression of that woman, and he had not yet reached the point of wanting to take it for himself.
As a result, the prince actually asked him for advice today, so that the woman was desperate for him......
The corners of Xiao Hanyin's mouth twitched, "Your Highness, there is nothing the official can do about this matter!" ”
"Could it be that when you were with Miss Liu, didn't you take the initiative to confess your heart to her?" The prince thought that he had experienced something, and he should have experienced.
"Between us, it is true that I expressed my heart first, but we have been together for almost a year at that time!" Xiao Hanyin felt that his situation was different from that of the crown prince, so he didn't have much experience to tell him.
"Your Highness, do you want that woman to marry you willingly?" After Liu Qingshao came back to her senses, her mood was quite complicated.
She never thought that one day the crown prince would come to them because of this matter.
"Well, I don't want to be forced to be with someone who doesn't like each other!" The crown prince rejected his father because he didn't know the other party's intentions.
After all, as long as he nodded, the emperor would immediately make an order.
At that time, whether the other party wants to or not, there is only one way to enter the house and be his concubine.
Disobeying the emperor's order is to raid the family and exterminate the clan, who in the imperial city is not afraid of the emperor?
The prince really wants to be like Xiao Hanyin, meet a woman who is happy with each other, and spend the rest of his life together.
Although he is a prince, he is emotionally the same as an ordinary man, since he has met the woman he likes, he has to find a way to get her to agree to be with him.
"Your Highness can ask that girl to go to dinner and shopping with you!" Liu Qingshao glanced at the prince with some embarrassment.
Liu Qingshao didn't want to say anything, but she remembered that the prince had never liked a woman so far, and his feelings were like a blank sheet of paper.
Now, he finally met the woman he liked, so he would naturally be a little overwhelmed.
So, Liu Qingshao gave her advice.
These are the basic routines of modern men pursuing their beloved women.
In ancient times, many couples had never met before they got married, and they relied entirely on matchmakers to make peace.
Even if you don't like it after getting married, you can only barely get by.
The prince's idea is actually very different.
"Just go to the restaurant with her for dinner, and then let her go out for a walk, okay?" The prince always felt that something was wrong.
After all, women attach the most importance to honor, and the prince doesn't know if the other party will be willing to come out with him.
"If she has a good impression of you, she may like you soon!" Liu Qingshao said stiffly.
She's not a man, so she doesn't know anything about these things.
However, according to these routines, ordinary women will fall, after all, the prince is handsome and extraordinary, and exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere.
When a woman meets a man like him, she should be easily moved.
After listening to Liu Qingshao's words, he nodded thoughtfully.
