Chapter 40: Who Proposes to Whom

Suddenly, Han Dong pushed open the courtyard door and ran in anxiously, and said breathlessly: "Girl, go out and have a look, Xiao Gongzi has come with a lot of carriages to propose." ”

"Propose marriage!!"

Qi Ning is not a fool, she knows that Xiao Gongzi has some meaning to her, but she can't afford to climb such a person, and she now has Wang Qingyuan in her heart: "You are not mistaken? Who are you proposing with? ”

"He said he was proposing to you, girl." Han Dong was a little excited, she had already seen that Xiao Gongzi's eyes were wrong when he looked at the girl.

"You follow me to see what he's messing around with during the New Year."

With that, Qi Ning went down the steps and walked forward with Han Dong.

Xiao Gongzi was riding on a horse outside the door, and four carriages slipped behind him, all of which were quietly parked.

"Xiao Gongzi, please come in if you come, don't joke with them, they all scare Handong."

Qi Ning wore a long armor of moon white muslin with fox fur. Leaking light green muslin sleeves and skirt, he stood at the doorway and looked at him with a calm face. Xiao Gongzi's heart seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy fist, and blood surged up on his pale cheeks.

"Miss Qi, I'm here to propose, and it's all a dowry here, are you willing to accept it?" Xiao Gongzi steadied himself, and his heart hurt even more.

"Don't make a fuss, come in and have a cup of tea to warm up, if you have a gift, I will dare to accept it, if there is anything else, you can pull it back."

Qi Ning also encountered this situation for the first time, and tried her best to make a calm and breezy appearance, not wanting to lose this friend who could talk about it and let her earn money.

"Oh? It's a dowry, won't the girl accept it? If it was given to you by Wang Qingyuan, would you accept it or not? Xiao Gongzi's face turned pale again.

"Xiao Gongzi is talking about some jokes without a head, if you do this again, I'll leave, you can freeze here." Qi Ning was beating a drum in her heart, she couldn't think of anything to do between Wang Qingyuan and Xiao Gongzi, could it be that Wang Qingyuan had an accident, and the matter between the two of them was also leaked?

"Come out, you've won!" Xiao Gongzi shouted reluctantly at a carriage with a shed behind him.

A pair of wheat-colored bony hands lifted the curtain, Wang Qingyuan's familiar figure jumped out of the carriage, walked between the two with a proud smile and arched his hand at Xiao Gongzi: "Brother Xiao, if you lose, you have to admit punishment." ”

"I, Xiao, admit defeat in the bet, she is yours." After Xiao Gongzi finished speaking, he whipped his horse's buttocks, and quickly went south, followed by two carriages.

Qi Ning glanced at Wang Qingyuan angrily, turned around and ran back to the backyard. Wang Qingyuan instructed Tie Niu and Han Dong to pull the carriage into the courtyard, rewarded the coachman with some silver, and chased Qi Ning into the backyard.

Qi Ning inserted the door and just sat down on the chair in the living room, when Wang Qingyuan pushed the door and knocked lightly on the door without pushing it open.

"Hmph, you still know that you are back, you can't trust me anymore, and you found someone to test me!" The more Qi Ning thought about it, the more angry he became, he stood up and pointed to the door and said angrily.

"Ning'er, don't be angry, can you open the door and listen to me?" Wang Qingyuan leaned on the crack of the door in a low voice.

"You go, I don't want to see you."

"Ning'er, I was seriously injured, and I drove more than six hundred miles before I got better, you let me go in and sit down, I can't stand."

Qi Ning hurriedly opened the door. A cold figure rushed in and hugged Qi Ning's body fiercely.

"Stinky man, lie to me, let me ....."

"Don't let go, never let go." Wang Qingyuan said as he picked up Qi Ning and walked to the kang and sat down, putting the person on his lap and kissing him headlessly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry, you let me go, I'm going to suffocate." Qi Ning struggled vigorously.

"You're not angry?" Wang Qingyuan's shining eyes looked at the person in his arms warmly.

"Are you hurt?" Qi Ning touched Wang Qingyuan's arm and asked with concern.

"I was injured a few days ago, but it's healing. Don't worry. ”

"Then why don't you come back early, people miss you every day." Qi Ning pouted her little pink face and frowned.

"There are some things that haven't been dealt with yet, and I can't leave, this is the Chinese New Year on my vacation, and I packed up my things overnight and came back. I miss you too. Wang Qingyuan kissed Qi Ning's nose.

"You dare to appear openly now, are you done with everything?"

"Not yet, I'm going to the capital after the New Year, but now my identity doesn't need to be kept secret, so I'm not afraid of bothering you."

"Who are you? Prince? Rajah? ”

"Pour me a cup of tea first, I haven't had a sip of hot water since morning."

Qi Ning hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea: "Are you hungry, do you want to make you something to eat?" ”

"I ate on the way." Wang Qingyuan had a cup of tea before Qi Ning told him about his life experience that he had hidden for many years.

His original surname was Jing, and his original name was Jingsu. His father is Jing Dada, the general of Zhenguan, and his aunt is the emperor's Jinghuang concubine.

The emperor already had three princesses at that time, and the emperor, who was nearly thirty years old, finally had a son, and was overjoyed and named Concubine Jing as the imperial concubine at that time.

According to the royal rules, the queen and the imperial concubine are the concubines, and the concubines and noble beauties are the concubines. The queen gave birth to the next prince ten days later, but she could only do two.

Queen Wang and her mother's family were unwilling, and after many years of careful design, they framed the emperor's eldest son as the result of the imperial concubine and the guards' cheating.

When the emperor saw a lot of false evidence, as well as the personal confessions of the guards and the imperial concubine's personal palace maid, he was angry and gave the imperial concubine and the emperor's eldest son, who was less than eight years old at the time, and sent people to the border overnight to kill General Jing and his wife Su and their daughter Jing Ting, as well as a few close subordinates.

Jing Su's mother, Su Huiniang, was originally from the rivers and lakes, and met General Jing by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight, and later became parents and gave birth to Jing Su and a daughter.

Since the age of five, Jing Su has followed his mother's brother into the mountains to learn martial arts, and rarely returned home after traveling through the rivers and lakes, so he escaped with his life.

When the fourteen-year-old Jing Su and his master got the news, the Jing family and their daughter had died, and the Jing family had been confiscated. All city gates were posted with Jing Su's wanted notices.

When Jing Su's master learned the news, he took Jing Su to hide for three years and then died.

Jing Su buried his master, and joined the army under the pseudonym Wang Qingyuan.

Over the years, the army had been controlled by the queen's brother and a few henchmen, and it was corrupt. Wang Qingyuan wanted to find an opportunity to find out the truth of the year, but he never saw the day of his emergence in the army, and he was disheartened and came to Qing'an City, where his parents met.

Just when he met Qi Ning and moved his heart to marry, the housekeeper of Jingfu found Jing Su.

It turned out that the housekeeper was released after being locked up for a few years, and he has been looking for his little master everywhere in private, and the Jing housekeeper told Jing Su the truth of the year, Jing Su has always suspected that his aunt was wronged, and he took refuge in Li Yu, the third prince of Ningwang.

Li Yu, the king of Ning, his mother and concubine, was born in a merchant. Although the background of the maternal family is not obvious, Li Yu himself is very scheming, and his maternal grandfather and Jing Su's father are old friends, and before the Jing family had an accident, the two families had a very close personal relationship.

In this year's palace banquet, the prince rebelled against the monarch, and was later put into chaos, all of which were carefully designed by Li Yu and Jing Su's henchmen, they first let an unfavored concubine seduce the prince, and then there was a rumor that the prince thought that the emperor was going to abolish him, the prince and the queen conspired with the royal family to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, and when the prince's people surrounded the imperial garden of the banquet, Li Yu, the king of Ning, rescued the emperor with the royal forest army pretending to belong to the prince.

Later, as the rumors said, the prince was deposed and imprisoned in the prison, the queen committed suicide after being imprisoned in the cold palace, and hundreds of people in the Wang family were killed.

King Ning also found out that the queen and the Wang family framed the concubine and the eldest son of the emperor, settled the unjust case of the Jing family, and the emperor posthumously sealed the eldest son of the emperor and the concubine of the emperor, and buried the bones of General Jing and his wife's daughter.
