It took quite some time to get from Beiqi to Dajing. A'man was in the mood for fun, so she walked around for several days.
Would things have turned out differently if we hadn't been delayed on the road?
My mood suddenly became very complicated.
At this moment, Ajie came over and said, "Your Highness, the old Duke sent me to look for you."
His Highness had been away from the table for some time, and fearing that he might get lost, the old Duke sent the servants of the Yan family to go with him to look for him.
Gongsun Sheng then took a step forward.
On second thought, as long as Long Wenyu and Yan Funing don't have children, everything will be fine.
When he returned to the chess table in the courtyard, he apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept Master Yan and everyone else waiting for so long. The Duke's Mansion is truly beautiful, and I couldn't help but gaze at it a little longer."
The old Duke smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll get lost."
The two continued to play chess.
Fu Ciyi's brows moved slightly.
Gongsun Sheng left the table about a quarter of an hour after his sister and Ningning left.
I don’t know if there is any connection between the two, or if Gongsun Sheng has some other purpose. Fortunately, my sister is there, so I don’t have to worry about Gongsun Sheng doing anything rash.
But no matter what, it is true that this person's motives are not pure.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said to the old Duke: "Grandfather Yue, my son-in-law is going to look for Ningning."
"Well, go ahead." The old Duke's eyes fell on the chessboard, he waved his hand, and then smiled at Gongsun Sheng, "The young couple has a deep affection for each other, and they can't bear to be apart for a moment."
"Grandpa Yan is right." Gongsun Sheng smiled.
He laughed like this, which made Long Chi'an start to wonder. He seemed to have noticed something at the dinner table just now.
But at this moment, this person's smile didn't seem to have any profound meaning. Could it be that he had misunderstood?
Or is there anyone in the world who can fake a smile better than him?
Regardless, he stood up and said, "Grandfather Yan, I'm going to look for Fu Ning too."
"Chi An, you..."
In front of Gongsun Sheng, the old duke was not in a position to say anything directly.
Long Chi'an smiled warmly: "Prince Rui and Princess Rui are good friends. You know this best."
"Go ahead." The old Duke waved his hand.
Yan Xinghe immediately said, "Grandfather, I'm going to look for my sister."
"Let's go, let's go." The old Duke waved his hand again.
Watching people play chess is the most boring thing. Yan Bojian then said, "Grandfather..."
Just as he called out, the old Duke glanced at him and said, "Just sit down and watch your grandfather play chess."
Fu Beimo, who wanted to speak up, had to shut up. The old duke really loved him, so he decided to continue watching the game. Besides, he and Ali still had something to ask of Yan Bojian.
Watching the three people leave, Gongsun Sheng raised his eyebrows and continued to make moves, seemingly speaking casually: "Grandpa Yan, the second young lady is very popular."
"Well, my girl is very popular." Lao Guo smiled openly.
Meng Li, who was standing beside Fu Beimo, clenched his fists again and again.
It was the man playing chess with his back to her that disturbed Nan Yao's feelings for him.
It just so happened that the man was the prince, while he was a nobody.
Fu Beimo immediately saw the clue in Ali's expression, so he asked, "Prince Sheng, I have a question. Is it convenient for you to answer it?"
Gongsun Sheng glanced at Fu Beimo, knowing that he was the ninth son of Emperor Dajing, so he had to give him some respect: "Please speak."
Fu Beimo said directly: "You have met all the princesses of Dajing at the palace banquet yesterday. Do you like any of them?"
When asked this question, Meng Li instantly became nervous, fearing that the other party would say that he liked Nan Yao.
The old Duke became interested and said to Gongsun Sheng, "Yes, you are not young anymore. Honghou, who is the same age as you, has been married for several years and now has a child. It's time for you to choose a woman you like and start a family."
Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly and said, "I did meet a few princesses yesterday, but I haven't found any that I like yet."
There is a woman I like.
"Why, you don't like it?" the old Duke asked again.
"Master Yan, forgive my bluntness. I only met a few princesses at the palace banquet yesterday and haven't gotten to know them well yet, so I can't say whether I like them or not." Gongsun Sheng sighed, seemingly making a self-deprecating comment. "Actually, I'm just too demanding and difficult to please."
The old Duke naturally wanted to give him a way out: "After all, this is the person you are choosing to spend your life with, so it's okay to have higher expectations."
Hearing this, Fu Beimo gave Meng Li a look.
Even so, Meng Li still felt unsure.
He actually already knew Nan Yao.
When there are better options, she will never choose him. From Lu Wenfeng to Dong Kuang, time and time again, he has never been her first choice.
Ultimately, he is useless.
Now that Nan Yao's legs and feet are back to normal and her identity has been restored, it's time for her to have better choices.
Maybe he should be self-aware.
Over here, several people were chatting.
On the other side, the three people had already left the East Garden.
Fu Ciyi walked in the middle, with Yan Xinghe and Long Chi'an on his left and right.
"This Gongsun Sheng clearly apologized on behalf of Gongsun Man at the palace banquet, and now he's visiting my Yan family today and just gave up the chess game. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Yan Xinghe shook his head repeatedly.
Long Chi'an also spoke up: "He gave a very good handicap, which made the old Duke very happy."
Seeing that his brother-in-law was silent, Yan Xinghe turned his attention to Long Chi'an and asked, "Why are you coming to my Yan family?"
"Bo Jian has already asked, why are you asking too?"
"Brother-in-law is going to look for sister, what are you doing with him?"
"I like to follow, mainly because I want to see Fu Ning, so I came here today and now I will follow." Long Chi'an said bluntly.
Hearing this, Yan Xinghe shook his head repeatedly: "With you here, and now there's Gongsun Sheng, this situation..." He turned his gaze to Fu Ciyi, "Brother-in-law, you're in a bit of a difficult situation."
"Don't worry about Long Chi'an." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Gongsun Sheng might be difficult to deal with."
After hearing this, Long Chi'an still had something to understand. He lowered his voice and said, "You mean that the prince of the neighboring country didn't like the princess, but instead liked Fu Ning?"
Yan Xinghe said "hmm" unhappily.
"How ridiculous!" Long Chi'an was furious. "I didn't even get a turn? How could it be his turn?"
"What are you saying?" Yan Xinghe couldn't help but shake his head again.
Fu Ciyi's voice began to grow cold: "I just don't know what Gongsun Sheng will do next?"
"I don't think he'd dare to reveal his feelings," Long Chi'an guessed. "Fu Ning is already married to you, after all. Besides, Fu Ning isn't a princess. Gongsun Sheng wants to marry a princess to solidify the relationship between the two countries. For the sake of the greater good, he might not dare."
Unlike him, now that he knows that there is no possibility for him and Fu Ning, he feels relieved to say some things.
Yan Xinghe said softly, "I think we should just pretend we don't know what he's thinking. This will be beneficial to the relationship between our two countries. When he really makes his next move, it won't be too late for you, brother-in-law, to take action."
The three of them chatted as they entered Nanyuan.
"Why did Gongsun Sheng come to apologize on behalf of Gongsun Man whom you mentioned just now?" Long Chi'an asked.
Yan Xinghe sneered: "Gongsun Man has set her eyes on my brother-in-law, and the Gongsun brothers and sisters have set their eyes on Prince Rui and Princess Rui of Dajing. This is simply ridiculous."
"They are indeed brother and sister, both shameless." Long Chi'an was rarely filled with righteous indignation.
"I've thought of a solution."
Yan Xinghe stopped and looked at Long Chi'an.
"I thought of one too."
Fu Ciyi also stopped and turned his gaze to Long Chi'an.
Long Chi Anxin's hair trembled: "What?"
The other two said in unison: "You marry Gongsun Man."
