Chapter 29: Is this princess your unmarried wife?
The next day, the rain that had been falling all day finally stopped, the autumn sun cleared, and the weather was pleasant.
Qi Yuning sent Lingling to the princess's mansion next door early in the morning, while he went to the Song Mansion.
The Song family will have a mourning ceremony next year. There are still white lanterns hanging at the door, and the atmosphere is solemn.
Qi Yuning had no parents since she was a child, and she had always been aloof, never taking the initiative to make friends with others, and kept to herself.
Only Song Heqing, who also lost her mother when she was young and was one year younger than her, didn't think Qi Yuning was cold and aloof at all, so she took the initiative to play with Qi Yuning.
Song Heqing was annoyed by Qi Yuning when he was a child, but he still followed Qi Yuning.
The two gradually became the best of sisters. Song Heqing was willing to fly into the East Palace like a moth to a flame, but Qi Yuning could only follow her.
He could only try his best to pull the little moth away before it was burned to death.
When Mrs. Song saw Qi Yuning coming, she went to the gate to greet her, "Princess Qi, I haven't seen Princess Qi for many days. Princess Qi has become more and more beautiful."
Qi Yuning entered the house and drove away the Song family servants, leaving only Mrs. Song who said: "Mrs. Song, He Qing and I have been friends since childhood. She and my brother have reached the age of marriage. I like He Qing to be my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Song's expression changed and she said: "Princess Qi is a step too late. My He Qing has already been engaged to the Guan family..."
Qi Yuning said: "When was the marriage arranged? Madam Song, I asked you when I came here. The Guan family has never come to arrange the marriage. Is it possible that Prince Qi is not the husband of the Guan family?"
"No, no, no, King Qi is naturally one of the best husbands in Shengjing City."
Qi Yuning said: "That's good. My brother will have to wait until next spring to arrange the marriage. For the time being, only our Qi and Song families know about this marriage agreement. You can refuse it to the Guan family."
Mrs. Song really didn't want her stepdaughter to join the Qi family's high-ranking family, but she also knew in her heart that Qi Yuning couldn't refuse her just because she said no, so she had no choice but to agree.
After Qi Yuning left the Song Mansion, he saw Mrs. Guan and Guan Zhiyi at the door.
Guan Zhi looked at Qi Yuning and raised her head and said, "Princess Qi."
Mrs. Guan also followed: "Princess Qi."
When Mrs. Song saw the red silk-covered betrothal gift behind Mrs. Guan, she sighed and said, "Mrs. Guan, my He Qing has already arranged for another marriage."
Mrs. Guan was stunned. Guan Zhiyi looked at Qi Yuning and frowned, "Princess Qi, you didn't steal my fiancé enough, so why did you ruin my brother's good deeds?"
Qi Yuning looked at Guan Zhiyi and said, "Did I steal your fiancé? Who is your fiancé?"
Guan Zhiyi was stunned. Indeed, Lu Ze was not even her fiancé.
Qi Yuning said: "Also, the marriage of the Song family is a good thing for your Guan family, but it may not be a good thing for Miss Song. All of you Guan family are stepping on my reputation to become famous, just for the sake of the girl. Marrying high, I have never cared about you.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Since you are planning to marry girls from the Guan family high, why do you bully other girls into marrying low?
If today Mrs. Song is not the stepmother who fills in the house, but Miss Song's biological mother, do you Guan family dare to touch Miss Song?Aren't you afraid of being beaten out by the Song family? "
Mrs. Song's face turned blue and red after hearing this.
Guan Zhiyi's hands were trembling, "Princess Qi, what do you mean by this? What do you mean you never care about us?"
Qi Yuning said: "How can Shengjing City know all about the good reputation of the daughter of the Guan family? You all know in your hearts that the Guan family keeps to itself. This princess is magnanimous and will not care if she is afraid of getting her hands dirty. But you, the Guan family, insist on causing trouble." One day, this princess will be in a bad mood..."
Mrs. Guan's hands were shaking as she knelt down and said, "Princess Qi, have mercy!"
Qi Yuning looked at Mrs. Guan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "When Mrs. Guan chooses a wife for her son, you'd better think about it. If it were your own daughter, would you be willing to marry a lowly person and marry a beggar? Don't stare at your stepmother all day long. A noble lady of a noble family."
Mrs. Guan responded repeatedly: "Yes, Princess." After Qi Yuning got on the carriage, he looked at Guan Zhiyi's little face that changed from green to white and said:
"Miss Guan Liu, you must behave well when you enter the Qin family in the future. If you don't behave, you will not allow me to care about the past."
Guan Zhiyi only felt that her hands and feet were cold.
Qi Yuning was in a good mood when he saw the panicked mother and daughter of the Guan family, eating pastries in the carriage.
Jingzhe said: "Princess Princess, you spare them too lightly!"
Qi Yuning said: "Rather than directly tearing their faces apart, wouldn't it be more relieving to make them worry about whether they will be retaliated by the princess and live in panic all day long?"
Jingzhe chuckled: "The princess is wise."
It was noon, and Qi Yuning planned to have lunch outside before going to the Princess Mansion to pick up Lingling, so he found a private room in a nearby restaurant.
A group of military generals were dining in the next room, and their voices were really loud. They were talking about something, and their voices sounded like thunder.
Seeing Qi Yuning frowning, Jingzhe said, "Princess, do you want me to go to the next door and talk to you?"
Qi Yuning said: "No need."
"It's Lord Shi Zilin and the others!"
At the beginning of spring, he looked down from the door of the wing and saw Lu Ze, Lin Jiang and Qin Feng entering the restaurant wearing official robes.
Qi Yuning looked from the wing on the second floor and met Lu Ze's eyes.
Lin Jiang was still asking the waiter for a wing when he heard Lu Ze say: "There is no need for a wing, let's go to the Tianzi Room."
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze and the others entering without saying hello and said, "I didn't say that I would invite you to have a meal with me."
"Of course we invite the princess to have a meal."
Lu Ze sat down and asked, "Princess Princess, where is Lingling?"
Qi Yuning said: "It's at the princess's mansion."
Lin Jiang and Qin Feng took their seats together with Lu Ze. After a few people sat down, the voices of the soldiers next door became louder and louder.
"Hahaha, that coward Lu Ze, even his wife was snatched away by General Qin before he got married, and he didn't even dare to say a word!"
"General Qin is also lucky to be able to marry a virtuous girl whose reputation spreads throughout Shengjing."
"If Lu Ze takes the initiative to hand over his ancestral military power, then what future can Lu Ze have? He just reincarnated a little better. Now that he is engaged, he can't even protect his unmarried wife."
"Our General Qin is still brave."
Listening to the soldiers next door scolding Lu Ze for being a coward, Qi Yuning raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Ze, "Prince Lu, they say you are a coward."
Lu Ze took a sip of tea and said, "My wife has not been taken away before we are married, so how can I be considered a coward? But I don't think anyone can take you away, Princess."
Lin Jiang and Qin Feng's eyes flickered between Lu Ze and Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning frowned: "Prince Lu, please stop talking nonsense. Is this princess your unmarried wife?"
Lu Ze took a sip of tea and asked, "Isn't it?"
