Sensing everyone's gaze, Ye Shangyi hurriedly coughed lightly: "I mean, this tea is not good, shop Xiaoer, how many times have you boiled your tea today, why does it still have a bitter taste of aging?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly came: "How can it be, guest officer, you have this pot, but it is Longjing before Ming." ”

Ye Shangyi waved his hand and asked the maid to give him a piece of silver.

"Get a new one, this one doesn't suit my taste."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to carry the teapot and reluctantly went to the back kitchen.

Qi Xiuwei didn't know why, so she raised the teacup and tasted half of it: "Hey, there is no bitter taste, but sweet and sweet." ”

Ye Shangyi was a little weak-hearted, but fortunately, in the teahouse, it had resumed its previous liveliness.

"Maybe I've been on fire lately, and my mouth is bitter, so I'll ask for a pot of chrysanthemum tea later."

Shen Ningning looked at her for a long time, and finally saw something.

The girl drank tea slowly, and sighed twice: "Xiaowei, you don't understand, Xiangyi is bitter in her heart, so no matter how much she drinks Longjing, she feels tasteless." ”

Qi Xiuwei blinked in confusion: "Huh? Yi, do you have something on your mind? ”

"Nope!" Ye Shangyi denied it quickly, and her eyes flickered: "Ning Ning is teasing us, can't you hear it?" ”

Shen Ningning put down the teacup: "If you like it, you shouldn't hide." ”

Ye Shangyi's face turned red: "Ning Ning! Don't talk nonsense, I just think that getting married is a major event in life, does he have to think about it again? Don't be like me, meet a bad person. ”

As soon as the two of them spoke, Qi Xiuwei was confused.

"What the hell are you two playing dumb puzzles?"

Shen Ningning said quickly: "Xiangyi likes my third brother and cares about his family affairs, but she doesn't dare to say it herself." ”

"I didn't!" Ye Sheng stomped her feet anxiously, and her whole plump and delicate face was red like a cherry.

"You didn't? Why didn't you look unhappy when you saw Miss Meng just now, why did I say that the third brother also has a good impression of her, you would say no. ”

Qi Xiuwei understood: "Xiangyi, if this is the case, Ning Ning is right, you have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise you may regret it if you miss it." ”

Ye Shangyi was about to be drilled into the ground by two good friends.

She covered her hot face: "I said no!" Ay...... Well, I don't actually know if I like him, I just think that Xu Jingxi is a good person. ”

"He helped me expose Wu Ke's true colors, and of course I also wanted him to marry a virtuous and virtuous wife, that Miss Meng...... Notoriously extravagant and wasteful. ”

"So don't say that she is married to Xu Jingxi, even if she is Ning Ning's sister-in-law, I don't think it's good, she's not suitable."

When Qi Xiuwei heard this, she immediately said: "I've also heard that this Miss Meng likes gold the most, and even the brush she used before was pasted with gold leaf." ”

Shen Ningning pondered carefully.

It seems that there is such a thing.

Miss Meng has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, so she naturally spends money lavishly, and it is true that she likes extravagance and waste.

But......

"But if my third brother likes her, what am I afraid of spending more money, my father and second uncle, and three brothers are not stingy people, and if I marry my sister-in-law and enter the door, of course I have to be good to her!"

If you like gold, it's not a big deal.

But if the character is not good, Shen Ningning doesn't want to have such a sister-in-law.

"However, the next time I see the third brother, I still have to remind him and think about it."

After all, getting married is a top priority.

Ye Shangyi listened to her words, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "That's it, Ning Ning, you ask Xu Jingxi out for me, I'll ask him well!" ”

Qi Xiuwei was thrilled by her courage and clapped her hands and smiled.

"Yi has finally figured it out, but what do you want to ask him?"

"I asked if he liked Miss Meng, if he really liked it, I didn't have to worry about him, so I didn't have to worry about repaying his kindness, and I paid too much attention to his family affairs, as if I ...... I have him in my heart. ”

Shen Ningning blinked his long eyelashes: "I see, that's good, isn't it your grandfather's birthday banquet in a few days?" My third brother also went that day, so you might as well find a good opportunity to ask. ”

Ye Shangyi hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's inconvenient in my house, if my grandfather knows, he already likes Xu Jingxi, I'm just afraid that he will also misunderstand what I mean, let Xu Jingxi be my husband, when the time comes, it's really a shame!"

Shen Ningning thought carefully, so what should I do?

Qi Xiuwei remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

"On the eighth day of the second lunar month, it is the festival of the legendary moon old man, there is a lovesick lantern festival in the city that day, and there are dragon and lion dances in the moon old temple, it is better to make an appointment on that day, let Ning Ning call her third brother out, and the festival meaning is also good."

Shen Ningning agreed: "This method is good, Shangyi, then let's talk about it!" ”

Ye Shangyi didn't know why, before the day came, her heart was already pounding.

Meanwhile.

In the Emperor's Imperial Study.

Mo Lingwei was wearing a golden and purple python robe and a jade crown, and sat on a chair next to him.

The sharp and handsome face is cold and white, and Ming Huang is unhappy.

The Emperor paced back and forth with his hands on the side, also frowning.

Neither father nor son spoke first, but the great eunuch standing at the door was terrified.

Because, the father and son have just had a big quarrel.

He was really afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would one day make the emperor angry to death.

Isn't it just to let him marry first, how can it be like killing him?

Suddenly, the emperor raised his voice again and said angrily: "You have been delaying me, how long will it be over?" ”

"Last time I asked you about the idea of marriage, you said that you would wait for Ning Ning and Lu, and now that she is in time, you said that you want to wait for Wu Ke to end this matter."

"I also helped you check Wu Ke's person, you are good, you changed your mind again, and said that you will wait until the Spring Festival is over next year. Mo Ling Danger! You are my son, and you are the prince of Cangyun Kingdom, why are you so discredited? ”

He was really angry this time.

Mo Lingwei glanced at him, but he was calm.

"She doesn't agree, who am I going to marry?"

"Did you speak? Let's just say she doesn't agree. ”

"How can I speak, don't you know that feelings have to be consensual?" Mo Lingwei frowned.

The emperor was stunned: "What do you mean, isn't Ning Ning still unwilling?" What's so reluctant about this, you and her childhood sweetheart, growing up together, can be called two little guesses, not to mention that you are the prince, she married a side concubine, what's wrong? ”

Mo Lingwei suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows, and looked at his father with sharp eyes.

"Side concubine? If I marry her, I will definitely give her the position of concubine. ”

"That's not going to work!" The emperor waved his palm, and his face was pale: "Ning Ning is very good, no matter how good you are with her, I don't say anything, if you want to marry her, there is no problem, but as a prince and concubine, she will be the queen in the future, and with her current identity, it is not suitable." ”

"How is it not suitable? Do you think she doesn't have enough background? Prime Minister Xie holds great power, her eldest brother Xie Mingxu has a thousand troops, and her second brother Xie Ming'an, the pillar of Dali Temple, no one in the entire Xie family is unimportant, not to mention that Shen Ningning has saved Cangyun Kingdom in danger several times, except for her, who else is worthy of the position of concubine. ”

Mo Lingwei's face also turned cold.

The emperor pointed at him and shook his head again and again: "You are really young, you still don't understand, Ning Ning's shortcomings are that her mother's family is too strong, she has prestige among the people, and she is more loved by the people, do you know that such a queen, if she wants to indulge her relatives to become bigger, she will threaten your throne!" ”

Mo Lingwei stood up suddenly, his expression was gloomy, and he put down four words: "A bullshit." ”
