Wei Wenyan had no other brothers or sisters, so if he wanted to marry someone, he could only choose from among his clan relatives.
And Wei Cunqing...
Isn’t Wei Cunqing, the uncle regent, just the right person?
If Nanyuan sends a princess here, she naturally cannot be married to other relatives casually.
Wei Cunqing is the most suitable candidate!
Wei Cunqing is 27 years old this year and has not yet married. Who could be more suitable for a marriage than Wei Cunqing?
Is Wei Cunqing so worried about this matter?
"Why is the prince so worried? Is he afraid that he will need a marriage alliance?" Liu Qin guessed.
Wei Cunqing sighed lightly. Several ministers in the court thought he was the most suitable candidate.
But he doesn't want to marry any princess from Nanyuan!
From the beginning to the end, the only person he wanted to marry was Liu Qin.
If Liu Qin was willing to marry him, and they got married as soon as possible, he could avoid this trouble.
It’s just that Liu Qin… He didn’t want to force Liu Qin, and he didn’t want to impose his own troubles on Liu Qin.
He'd better find another way.
The idea of getting Liu Qin to marry him wouldn't work.
However, he still wanted to give it a try.
"That's true! Several ministers jointly petitioned me to marry Princess Nanyuan." Wei Cunqing told the story. He wanted to see Liu Qin's reaction.
But Liu Qin didn't react at all. She just ate her meal silently, avoiding Wei Cunqing's gaze.
She had already planned to leave the Regent's Palace, so how could she choose to marry Wei Cunqing at this time?
If it weren't for the Tan family, she might have considered helping Wei Cunqing.
But now that she has the Tan family and others, it is even less likely that she will marry Wei Cunqing.
There is still a layer of separation between her and Wei Cunqing.
"Qin'er, don't you have anything to say to me?" Wei Cunqing asked.
How could she be so indifferent?
Shouldn't she show some concern and comfort him?
Liu Qin: ...
What is she going to say?
Tell Wei Cunqing not to marry Princess Nanyuan?
What qualifications does she have to stop Wei Cunqing from marrying Princess Nanyuan?
Persuade Wei Cunqing to accept this marriage?
That would definitely anger Wei Cunqing! Knowing the consequences, why would she bother asking for trouble?
She could only play dumb, pretend she knew nothing, and not make any comments.
"Seventh brother, what do you want me to say? The marriage between the two countries is a major event of the court. It is not appropriate for me, a woman, to make random remarks, right?" Liu Qin smiled guiltily, trying to get away with it.
Wei Cunqing: ...
Who asked her to discuss state affairs without authorization?
He just wanted to see if she minded him marrying another woman!
Judging from Liu Qin's reaction, she doesn't seem to care much!
He should have expected that Liu Qin would not react.
What on earth was he expecting?
"Forget it! Let's not talk about this for now. I heard that you have been practicing horse riding diligently recently? Why are you suddenly so diligent?" Wei Cunqing asked with concern.
Why did Liu Qin suddenly fall in love with horse riding?
Before, she would only practice for two days when she felt like it, but recently she has been practicing horse riding regardless of the weather. Could she have been stimulated by something?
Did Master's Wife and the others make Liu Qin feel wronged again?
Master's wife... Master's wife is a kind elder, but she has always disliked Liu Qin.
She felt that Liu Qin was not a lady from a noble family and was not worthy of him. Although he had tried his best to show how important Liu Qin was to him, the master's wife still did not like Liu Qin.
What could he do? He could only reduce the number of times they met, interacted, and clashed.
Fortunately, the Regent's Palace was connected, and the South Courtyard and the East Courtyard were separated by a garden. They were each in their own courtyard and generally would not see each other.
Master's wife is not his biological mother, and Liu Qin is not his princess consort, so Liu Qin does not need to pay respects to Master's wife.
They lived in peace for more than two months.
"It's nothing! Can't I be more diligent without a reason? I don't want to be a useless person! I don't want others to look down on me!" Liu Qin explained.
Wei Cunqing held her hand and said, "You don't have to care about what others think! Just be yourself happily!"
Liu Qin looked at him quietly.
We have to admit that Wei Cunqing is indeed a ceiling.
If she left Wei Cunqing, she probably would never find a man better than Wei Cunqing.
However! Even without a man, she, Liu Qin, can live well!
"Seventh brother, I want to ask you a question!" Liu Qin hesitated, still wanting to hear Wei Cunqing's inner thoughts.
Wei Cunqing raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem? Why should we be so polite?"
When did they start to need to test each other?
Liu Qin can ask whatever she wants to ask.
He tells everything he knows, and says it all!
"If I have a dispute with the people of Nanyuan, and the dispute is extremely serious and cannot be resolved, and you must drive one side away, will you drive me away? Or will you drive them away?" Liu Qin asked.
This question is... a bit speechless.
It's like his mother and wife fell into the river, and it's a question of who he chooses.
Although Tan was not Wei Cunqing's biological mother, in Wei Cunqing's eyes, Tan was his mother.
And she can also be considered as Wei Cunqing's wife.
Wei Cunqing: ...
Why are you asking such a tricky question out of the blue?
Did she really have a conflict with her master's wife and the others?
Wei Cunqing didn't answer, but instead asked Liu Qin, "What's wrong? Did Master's Wife and the others come to bully you?"
Liu Qin sighed and chose to escape.
This proves that in Wei Cunqing's heart, she is not the most important person.
Well, she was too self-righteous.
Liu Qin shook her head. "No! This is just a hypothesis. I just want to know who is more important to Seventh Brother, them or me!
But I have already guessed it now, so there is no need to answer, Brother Qi."
Liu Qin suddenly became understanding and stopped forcing Wei Cunqing to answer.
Wei Cunqing didn't intend to get away with it, he thought about it seriously.
He couldn't drive his master's wife and the others away.
His master's wife raised him, and he couldn't repay her with evil. Now his master has passed away, and his master's wife has no son.
He had to provide for his master's wife in her old age, so he couldn't drive her away.
But he would never drive Liu Qin away!
If they really became incompatible, he would let Liu Qin live in a farm outside the city, and he would also move directly to the farm outside the city.
This Regent's Palace will be left for Tan and her family to live in.
Liu Qin is not such a fussy person, she doesn't care whether she has to live in the Regent's Palace or not.
Wei Cunqing said, "I won't drive Master's Wife and the others away, but I will take you out to live. Qin'er, are you willing to move out of the Regent's Palace with me?"
Liu Qin: ...
This is a surprising answer.
He won't drive Tan away, but will move out with her?
Does that mean she became Wei Cunqing's concubine?
Although she doesn't mind these identities, but... the title of concubine is not nice after all!
"Seventh brother, do you want me to be your mistress?" Liu Qin asked with a puzzled look on her face.
