Chapter 195 A Match Made in Heaven
Pei Zhi's fingers gripping the teacup suddenly tightened a bit, but he didn't show it on his face. "Your Highness, you're joking."
Of course he understood that the prince said this to test him.
Going to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage at this time would only confirm those rumors.
Is he stupid, or is the prince stupid?
This was not the first time the prince had tested him.
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he just felt disappointed.
The prince did this not only to test him, but also to use him to force the Duke's Mansion into the prince's camp.
Even though the prince knew clearly that the Duke of Zhenguo had always been a loyal minister.
The prince looked at him intently and said, "Since you have no interest in Madam Shen, then forget it. I am doing this for your own good."
There was one thing the prince didn't say.
Today his people got some news from Chaoyun Palace.
Qi Zhengye had just divorced Fang, but Concubine Qi actually wanted Qi Zhengye to marry Xie Changning.
Nowadays, many powerful people are secretly laughing at Xie Changning, saying that she has no destiny to be a marquis' wife.
If Xie Changning married Qi Zhengye, she would be a true marquis' wife.
How could he not know what Concubine Qi was thinking?
She just wanted to use Xie Changning to bring the Duke's Mansion to the Fourth Brother's side.
Isn’t the fourth brother in the spotlight enough recently?
If Pei Zhi really had feelings for Xie Changning, it would be great. As long as he married Xie Changning, Concubine Qi's plan would naturally fail.
Not only that, Concubine Qi and the fourth prince would be furious.
pity……
The prince chatted with Pei Zhi for a few minutes and left in less than a cup of tea.
Pei Zhi stared in the direction the prince left, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
As soon as the prince left the palace, Concubine Qi received the news. She smiled with a smug look on her face. It seemed that the idiot prince really believed the news that she had deliberately released.
The prince has become increasingly impatient recently.
This is really rare good news for them.
No, she had to add more fuel to the fire.
Concubine Qi waved to the palace maid beside her.
Half an hour later, a bowl of steaming bird's nest was served to His Majesty.
As expected, His Majesty stayed in Concubine Qi's palace that night.
The next day, news came from Chaoyun Palace again. Last night, Concubine Qi mentioned in front of His Majesty that she wanted Qi Zhengye to marry Xie Changning.
His Majesty did not nod, but he did not object either. He only said that the matter depended on Xie Changning's opinion.
When the prince received this news, he couldn't help but frown.
What does father mean?
Doesn't he understand what Concubine Qi means?
He didn't even refuse it outright.
From what he said, as long as Xie Changning was willing to marry Qi Zhengye, he would not interfere.
Isn’t he most annoyed by the princes forming cliques for personal gain?
Why did they just leave it alone when it came to the fourth brother?
Doesn’t the emperor wish to depose me as the crown prince immediately to make room for the fourth prince?
He had completely changed from his usual gentle appearance. His eyes were vicious, his face was distorted, and he was filled with indescribable cruelty.
Xie Changning is just a widow. Who else would marry her except Qi Zhengye?
If she knew that Qi Zhengye was willing to marry her, she would definitely agree to the marriage without hesitation.
Although Qi Zhengye is not a good person, he is more than qualified for her.
For a moment, the prince thought a lot.
No, he could never let Qi Zhengye marry Xie Changning.
If only those rumors about Pei Zhi and Xie Changning could be confirmed...
Before the prince could take any action.
Just as Xie Changning finished breakfast, Mother Du came in to report that the wife of Duke Rong had arrived.
She looked surprised. She had never had any friendship with the wife of Duke Rong. Why was the wife of Duke Rong here?
Although he was surprised, Xie Changning still asked someone to invite the wife of Duke Rong in.
The wife of Duke Rong walked in with a smile on her face. Yesterday's events had caused quite a stir, so of course she knew about it. She first asked Xie Changning about his well-being.
They look so affectionate and affectionate that if you don't know them, you would think they have a very good relationship!
Xie Changning became more and more confused, but one thing was certain: no one would come to the temple for no reason, and the wife of Duke Rong would never come here for no reason.
All she had to do was wait patiently.
Sure enough, after a few pleasantries, Lady Rongguo changed the subject, "I'm a few years older than you, so I'm just being polite and calling you sister. Sister! I really feel sorry for you. Marrying into a marquis's mansion with your status was such an injustice to you. I never expected all this to happen. You're marrying into a mere Ye family."
"With the Ye family's status, how could they possibly marry you, my sister? That hateful old man Ye Bingwen is still thinking of causing trouble. They are content now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
"If they do something naughty again, wouldn't it be disgusting to my sister? After all, Ye Bingwen's identity is here, and my sister can't do anything too much."
Although Lin ordered people to send Ye Bingwen and Feng to the government.
But they didn't commit any serious crime, so the two of them were released long ago.
Xie Changning listened carefully.
Soon, Lady Rongguogong got to the point, "I wonder if my sister has any plans to remarry?"
She didn't even give Xie Changning a chance to speak, and immediately continued, "I do have a suitable candidate here. Sister, you might want to consider it seriously. Whether it's age or family background, they are very suitable for you. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are a match made in heaven."
