Chapter 189 Suddenly Blushed

Princess Jiamin slowly turned around and looked at Ouyang Rui.

The other person always likes to wear dark clothes. He is not too old, but too calm.

He had no jade pendants or other accessories around his waist. Today he only wore a jade crown to tie his hair, without any court dress.

In terms of appearance, Ouyang Rui is not the kind of stunningly handsome, but he is calm and reserved, with bright eyes.

It gives people a contradictory feeling of being very smart yet very low-key.

It was this kind of person who shined in that ring match.

Only then did people realize that this person had been hiding his incompetence all along.

Princess Jiamin was a little embarrassed.

I don't know how much the other party heard what I just said.

Ouyang Rui bowed and said, "This subordinate greets the princess."

Princess Jiamin was awkward, "How long have you been here?"

Ouyang Rui: "Just arrived."

Princess Jiamin: "Did you hear everything I said just now?"

Ouyang Rui remained calm and just shook his head.

Princess Jiamin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speak again, a servant of Duke Qin heard that Ouyang Rui had arrived and came over to pick him up.

Ouyang Rui bowed to Princess Jiamin and said, "Princess, I'm sorry to leave you first."

Princess Jiamin made up her mind: "I will come to you later. When you finish talking to Duke Qin, remember to send someone to Songtao Pavilion to find me. I will wait for you."

Ouyang Rui: "Okay."

After saying this, he bowed again, turned around and left with his servants.

Princess Jiamin was a little depressed, and followed Banxia who had rushed over, and walked towards Songtao Pavilion.

She was a little glad that Ouyang Rui didn't hear what she said.

But she also felt a little disappointed, disappointed that Ouyang Rui didn't hear it.

The contradiction is so confusing.

I wonder if Duke Qin will agree to marry Shen Yanran from the Shen Marquis Mansion after he tells Ouyang Rui about it?

Gu Qingning saw her coming back in a hurry again, but after coming back she lowered her eyes and remained silent, with a depressed look on her face.

Curious, "Why, you didn't see Ouyang Rui?"

Princess Jiamin sat there, dejected, looking like a little peacock that had fallen into the water.

"I saw him, but before I could say a few words, Duke Qin's people came to take him in. However, I made an appointment to talk to him before he leaves later."

Gu Qingning: "Then just wait here with peace of mind."

Princess Jiamin was aggrieved, "But my heart is in turmoil. I'm so worried that Ouyang Rui will agree to marry Shen Yanran."

Xiang'er beside him sighed in a condescending manner, "Princess, Lord Ouyang heard what you said just now. If he is interested in you, he will not agree to marry Miss Shen."

Princess Jiamin jumped up on the spot, "Didn't he say he didn't hear it?"

Xiang'er: "Lord Ouyang was worried that you would be embarrassed at the time, so he came to your rescue and said he didn't hear it."

Princess Jiamin: "..."

She covered her face and said, "It's over. I don't know how to face Ouyang Rui later."

It's so embarrassing!

Gu Qingning smiled and comforted her, "Jia Min, this is actually a good thing. Since you didn't say it directly, there is still room for maneuver and it won't be too awkward. Besides, you can see his attitude later. If he is willing to talk to you alone, it is likely that he still has feelings for you."

If it's not intentional, I'll definitely find a reason to push it.

Princess Jiamin was instantly revived, her eyes lit up: "Really?"

Gu Qingning smiled and nodded, "It's true."

Gu Qingning waited with Princess Jiamin.

But she was not idle either. She would look through some account books and asked someone to bring a few books to Princess Jiamin, but the girl couldn't concentrate on reading.

Seeing that she was really anxious, Gu Qingning said to Banxia:

"Send a clever little maid to guard the intersection and come back to pass on the message after Lord Ouyang has finished talking."

"yes."

Gu Qingning looked at Princess Jiamin who was looking forward to it, and said something else to her.

"By the way, Nalan's wedding is set, and it's only going to be in a month. She even invited me to attend the ceremony. What about you?"

Princess Jiamin's attention was slightly diverted.

"She also invited me, but I still don't quite understand why she chose Cen Jue?"

Even Gu Qingning had calmed down.

But when he heard Cen Jue's name, he subconsciously thought of the late Ninth Princess.

Gu Qingning: "When you like someone, maybe it's based on your eye contact."

Princess Jiamin: "Before, this Cen Jue was very low-key. Even when he won the third place in the imperial examination, he was extremely low-key. He refused the offer of a son-in-law from the list of candidates. It's as if he was waiting here for the Princess of Southern Xinjiang on purpose."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Gu Qingning frowned.

Deliberately waiting to marry the Southern Xinjiang Princess Nalan Zhuer?

Could it be that this was arranged by the Ninth Prince?

Because he had already colluded with Nanjiang a long time ago, he knew that Nanjiang would send the princess over for marriage?

At this time, Banxia came in and reported: "The maid said that Lord Ouyang has finished talking to the Duke and is now walking towards Songtao Pavilion."

The results are coming out!

Princess Jiamin could no longer sit still and was in no mood to gossip about other people, so she stood up immediately.

"Lime, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you next time."

Gu Qingning waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful that Lord Ouyang doesn't run away."

Princess Jiamin was not angry even though she was teased by her friends, because she had already run out with her skirt lifted up.

Xiang'er still sighed in that old-fashioned way as she chased her master.

Seeing this, Banxia whispered, "It seems like Sister Xiang'er is having a hard time."

Gu Qingning smiled, "It's worth the hard work, because Jiamin trusts Xiang'er very much. It's a great thing that the master and servant are of one mind."

The master will treat his servant well, and the servant will be loyal to the master.

Banxia immediately expressed her loyalty, "Master, I am definitely more loyal to you than anyone else!"

Granny Liao beside her smiled and patted her, "Girl, loyalty to the master is not something you say, but something you do in big and small things."

Banxia smiled and said, "Banxia, ​​I will teach you."

Looking at their happy faces, Gu Qingning also smiled slightly.

She looked out the window and recalled the words she had just said:

For example, will the Cen family know about what happened to the Ninth Princess?

For example, the Ninth Prince had begun colluding with Southern Xinjiang a long time ago, and wanted to kill Lu Jingyu while fighting with Southern Xinjiang?

The Ninth Prince is playing a big game.

**

At the corner of the long corridor of the Duke's Mansion, connecting the front yard and the back yard, the scenery suddenly changes from beautiful mountains and clear waters to a sea of ​​flowers.

When Princess Jiamin saw Ouyang Rui standing in the pavilion with the steward of the Duke's Mansion beside him, she suddenly became a little nervous.

Daunting.

Xiang'er stood beside her and said quietly, "Princess, are you scared? When did you become so timid?"

Princess Jiamin glared at her speechlessly.

Finally, he made up his mind and walked towards Ouyang Rui as if he was ready to sacrifice himself.

When he came up to her, before she opened her mouth, Ouyang Rui just asked calmly, "Where do you want to go to chat, Princess?"

Princess Jiamin suddenly remembered what Qingning had just said.

If, if Ouyang Rui is willing to talk to her in private, it is very likely that he is interested in her!

Ahhhhhhh!

The little face, which was as big as a palm, instantly turned red from the fair neck to the ears.

Her heart was beating very fast, but her upbringing as a noble lady made her try to stay calm.

Princess Jiamin raised her chin and said, "Then let's go to Tingfeng Teahouse. The scenery there is elegant and the tea is also good."

Ouyang Rui: "Okay."

He made a gesture, indicating that Princess Jiamin should go first.

Princess Jiamin also nodded dignifiedly, took a step forward... and almost fell off her hands and feet!

Fortunately, Xiang'er was quick to help her arm and reminded the other person.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two sat face to face in a private room of the teahouse, with white jade tea set on the table.

Ouyang Rui reached out and poured tea for each of them, his movements were slow and steady, without saying a word.

Princess Jiamin suddenly became less nervous.

Because she couldn't help herself, her mind was full of questions.

“I heard that Duke Qin came to you today to propose marriage to you, Shen Yanran from the Marquis of Guangping Mansion?”

A straight ball.

Ouyang Rui was also prepared and nodded.

Princess Jiamin asked anxiously, "Then do you agree?"

Ouyang Rui picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Princess, can I ask you a question first?"

Princess Jiamin frowned slightly, "What's the problem?"

Ouyang Rui: "I heard that the princess had a crush on Young Master Lu before."

It’s not just hearing about it, it’s actually seeing it with my own eyes.

Ouyang Rui was a student and subordinate of Duke Qin, so naturally he would often go to the Duke's Mansion over the years.

When Princess Jiamin came of age, she pursued Lu Jingyu in a big way throughout the capital.

Once, they all ran to the Duke's Mansion.

Ouyang Rui just happened to see him.

Such a pretty girl, very willful and arrogant, held her chin high and said to Lu Jingyu, "This princess will not marry anyone else but you."

Then Lu Jingyu jumped over the wall and left without even looking back, looking extremely cold.

This kind of thing happened more than once.

Princess Jiamin also remembered her own "great achievements" and she touched the tip of her nose embarrassedly.

"I was young then, wasn't I? Besides, Qing Ning is married to Lu Jingyu now. Qing Ning is my good sister, and I will definitely not covet her husband anymore."

The main reason was that she found that she didn’t seem to like Lu Jingyu that much anymore.

Ouyang Rui said "oh" and stopped talking.

Princess Jiamin: "You haven't answered my question yet!"

Ouyang Rui: “I am not worthy of Miss Shen.”

Princess Jiamin's eyes suddenly lit up, "You refused?"

She was so cheerful, her features were so delicate and beautiful, and she looked so lively and enthusiastic.

Ouyang Rui, who was usually serious, restrained himself and did not raise the corners of his mouth.

When Princess Jiamin heard that Ouyang Rui rejected Shen Yanran, she was very happy the moment before, but the next moment she thought of something and then pursed her lips again.

"So, Lord Ouyang likes someone like Nalan? Are you disappointed after losing to Cen Jue?"

Ouyang Rui shook his head but said nothing. He just looked at Princess Jiamin quietly with his pair of dark eyes.

Princess Jiamin suddenly... blushed!

She stood up suddenly and looked around.

"Ah, it's getting late today. I have to go back home early. Goodbye, Lord Ouyang!"

After saying that, he ran away.

He actually fled in panic.

Xiang'er once again reluctantly chased after her master.

As for the sachet, it fell at the feet of Lord Ouyang because the master was too flustered.

Just pretend you didn't see it.
