Chapter 157 Qi Kuan: Heartless
Qi Kuan rowed the boat with all his might.
Yuanruan was really shocked. She had never seen anyone so indifferent to Jiaohua.
Yuan Ruan pulled him several times, but seeing that Qi Kuan was not willing to turn back and was talking about other things, she thought there was no danger and was too lazy to care about it, so she pulled Qi Kuan's sleeve and pointed to the place surrounded by the boats.
She said, "Look, look at that?"
Qi Kuan thought of the word "top performer" and coughed lightly, saying, "The wind on the lake is strong, so it's better to send the little princess to the big boat to rest first."
After saying this, Qi Kuan suddenly sped up his rowing movements.
Yuan Ruan had the refreshing lake water smeared all over her face. She said "Puh" twice and slapped Qi Kuan in an unhappily manner.
Qi Kuan accepted the situation without complaint and then docked the boat near the big ship.
When the news of their arrival spread, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the second prince consort Cheng Weining all went out on their boats to greet them.
The second princess stepped forward excitedly and took the initiative to extend her hand to Yuan Ruan: "Ninth sister missed you so much!"
The princess' husband, Cheng Weining, quickly supported her and said gently, "The boat is not stable, be careful."
The eldest princess made two "tsk tsk" sounds and gave the second princess a teasing look.
Yuan Ruan noticed that the second princess' face suddenly turned red.
She subconsciously looked at the second princess's belly: "Baby? Is there a little, baby?"
The second princess' face turned even redder.
Cheng Weining suddenly laughed like a silly father and said with his head tilted, "Princess Nine is really smart! Hehe, hehehe..."
System: [Tsk tsk tsk, look at this happy silly dad. It's unbearable to watch.]
Yuanruan: [Very good! I just watched Domestic Violence Man, and now I watch Love Brain, which is just right to cleanse my eyes. I wish my baby to grow up healthily! ]
Cheng Weining and the second princess were even more delighted to hear this. This was a blessing for the destiny of the Xia Kingdom!
Excited, Cheng Weining picked up Yuan Ruan and brought her closer to the second princess.
Yuan Ruan tried her best to be affectionate: "Second sister, elder sister. I miss you." She caught a glimpse of the eldest princess and said naturally: "Eldest sister, elder sister is affectionate. I miss you."
The eldest princess smiled and hugged Yuan Ruan and shook him: "Little rascal, you seem to be thinner than before."
The second princess showed a worried look: "It's pitiful. Hurry up and eat some good supplements. You look thinner."
Qi Kuan paused when he heard this expression, and he coughed lightly and explained, "The Third Prince's Mansion will definitely not neglect..." Before he could finish his words, Cheng Weining pulled his sleeve to stop him.
"Little Prince..."
"Hey, don't call me little prince." Qi Kuan waved his hands, "I haven't received the title yet. You and I are both officials in the court. Just call me by my name. Otherwise, I can only call you Prince Consort."
Cheng Weining smiled helplessly, but did not address her by name. He only bowed and said, "Your Highness. The Second Princess feels that the palace has neglected the Little Princess. There is a kind of thinness, which is called being thin because the elders think you are thin. No need to explain."
After Cheng Weining finished speaking, he chased after the second princess.
Qi Kuan suddenly thought of the extra meal that the old concubine had given him. He understood it immediately and followed her up.
The ship was decorated very grandly. The five people walked around seven or eight corridors and stairs before arriving at the spacious living room.
At this time, there were many young men and women sitting in the living room. Some of them were reading poems, some were singing songs over wine, and some were arguing in low voices about the politics of Daxia.
When the three princesses entered, everyone stood up and bowed to greet them.
The eldest princess hugged Yuanruan and said with a smile: "There is no need to be restrained today. Everyone can speak freely, but... it is best not to drink too much."
The young people immediately smiled sheepishly.
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, does the princess' words have a hidden meaning? Some of them are laughing in a very obscene way.]
System: [Haha, yes! The ancients were quite elegant and subtle. You see, there is a pot of wine and a few cups on the men's and women's tables. Regardless of gender, if you meet someone you are interested in, you can bring your wine glass to clink glasses with the other person. If the other person drinks, it means that he or she has some interest in you, and the two of you will...]
Yuanruan: [Is this the final decision? ]
System: [Ah Ruan, you are more conservative than the ancients. Why do you want to get married just because you drank some wine? It's just a chat between a man and a woman. You can still find someone else later.]
Yuan Ruan: [Oh, I see. So the princess is joking about not looking for too many targets at once.]
At this time, a girl with a peach-like appearance came up shyly with two glasses of wine and said to Qi Kuan, "Sir, would you like to drink a glass with me?"
Yuan Ruan instantly showed a look of support for the couple: [Wow...]
The system is also excited: [Quack! ]
The eldest princess, the second princess and Cheng Weining immediately stepped aside to leave space for the two unmarried men and women.
Unexpectedly, Qi Kuan also quickly moved aside and said stiffly: "I don't like drinking."
The beautiful girl froze, but she still said, "You can drink tea instead of wine."
Qi Kuan added: "I don't like drinking tea."
"Sir, if you don't like drinking, would you like to...exchange sachets?"
“I don’t have a sachet.”
"Well, then I'll take you there, young master."
Qi Kuan refused coldly: "No, I am intoxicated by the smell."
Even the most courageous person could not bear such a series of rejections. The beautiful girl gritted her teeth, turned around and left with tears in her eyes.
Yuanruan: [Ruthless.]
System: [Ruthless.]
…
After the peach girl left, several beautiful little girls came over with wine glasses, but they were all driven away by Qi Kuan's harsh tone.
Yuanruan came here just to support the couple, but now he is completely frustrated.
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, I think Qi Kuan is destined to be alone.]
System: [I think so too. It seems that even if the matchmaker uses steel bars, he may not be able to match them up. But there is another possibility. He likes men, so he naturally resists women.]
Cheng Weining, who was originally talking to Qi Kuan with a smile, was shocked and unconsciously took a step away.
Qi Kuan was speechless and mouthed: I am not.
Yuanruan: [Oh, yeah, I forgot about his sexual orientation. He's not.]
System: [Let me see. Hmm, he doesn’t like men. Hey, his road to marriage is so bumpy...]
Cheng Weining looked at Qi Kuan worriedly.
Qi Kuan remained calm and even looked a little indifferent.
Just at this moment, a graceful woman in a white dress came over with a wine glass in her hand and said aggrievedly, "Cousin, you stole my boat and left me alone on the shore. You should at least have a drink."
The eldest princess and the second princess were stunned.
The second princess even walked towards the woman and whispered, "Is it okay to leave you alone on the shore?"
The woman bit her lip in grievance. "I'm fine, but it's really sad that my cousin treats me like a monster. Am I really that unpopular?"
The second princess quickly comforted the woman.
The eldest princess looked at Qi Kuan in disapproval: "How can you leave a weak woman alone outside? And let her hold the wine glass for so long."
Qi Kuan glanced at the woman's fingers coldly and took the wine glass: "I'll hold it for you."
The woman leaned against the princess as if unable to bear the humiliation, crying silently.
System: [Puff! A weak woman? This craftsman from the Huainan Palace can fight against ten princesses.]
The eldest princess looked at the woman who was leaning on her with a sad face:?
