Chapter 152 Reputation
"I wonder why your honorable Highness the King of Qin came to see me?" Pei Jinyu stared at the King of Qin who suddenly appeared, and for a moment she forgot to answer the Second Young Master's words. If she looked carefully into the King of Qin's eyes, she would find a hint of resentment.
When King Qin heard the alienation in Pei Jinyu's tone, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that she was really angry with him.
So the King of Qin smiled calmly and said, "I wanted to come and tell you that I will go to your house to propose marriage in a few days. I need to send a letter to my father and ask for his consent first."
What? Propose a marriage? When these words came out, not only Pei Jinyu was stunned, but even the second young master beside her was shocked.
He was right. He was trying to snatch the woman from the King of Qin! Why didn't he hear the news when he came to see her? Now, will the King of Qin be angry when he sees him dating Miss Pei?
Pei Jinyu was shocked and stunned for a long time before she said, "Why are you proposing marriage for no reason? Don't you think you can be disliked by any woman?"
When the King of Qin heard this, he was a little confused. When did he say that he didn't like any woman?
"Hmph! King Qin, you'd better go away quickly and don't disturb my blind date here!" Pei Jinyu snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
"Jin Yu, I am serious. I was timid and cowardly before, but now I know that running away will not solve the problem. I want to protect you well!" King Qin quickly chased after him and said.
The second son, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the King of Qin and the others. How could he not understand anything? So, he stepped aside tactfully, intending to go find his mother and leave quietly.
Pei Jinyu was still angry, even if the King of Qin kept talking behind her, she kept moving forward. This time, the King of Qin really felt how easy it was for him to refuse at the beginning, and how difficult it was to get it back now.
He refused with just one sentence, but he said countless sentences, but Pei Jinyu didn't even look at him. As for why he came to her today, it was not a sudden decision. But that day, after rescuing Pei Jinyu from the hands of the prince, he went back and thought a lot, and realized that even if he didn't marry Jinyu and didn't put her in danger, there would be people with bad intentions who would take advantage of her.
As long as Jin Yu doesn't get married, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince will not behave themselves. Besides, Jin Yu's reputation will also be damaged.
This time, something happened in the restaurant. Although the Crown Princess had been punished and beaten by the Queen and imprisoned in the East Palace, she still dishonestly sent a message and let people spread the news about the restaurant. Today, when he heard people in the court discussing the restaurant, for Pei Jinyu's reputation, he took the initiative to say that he saved her. He also knew that if he said that, his relationship with Pei Jinyu would be more speculative. When he was hesitating about what to do next, Pei Jingchuan told him that Jinyu went out with the Duke's wife early in the morning.
When he realized that Pei Jinyu was going to marry someone else, he became anxious. The entanglement and distress in his heart seemed to be broken at this moment. He also understood that he could not let Pei Jinyu go, so he decided to pursue her bravely.
As for the difficulties and dangers, he would face them alone in front, protecting Jin Yu behind him, and he would fight for his life.
"After saying so much, is it just for my reputation that you want to be responsible for me, so you decided to propose to me?" Suddenly, Pei Jinyu stopped and turned to look directly at King Qin.
Just now, when she heard the King of Qin mention the restaurant, she thought that this was why the King of Qin suddenly wanted to propose to her.
The King of Qin didn't know how to explain for a moment, and said: "No! No...also...yes..."
He did it for Jin Yu's reputation, but more because of his own heart. At the moment, he didn't know what to say.
Pei Jinyu was even more angry when she saw the King of Qin's appearance, thinking that he was doing this just for the sake of responsibility. Being as proud as she was, she naturally would not accept it.
So, Pei Jinyu angrily said to the King of Qin: "I don't need your sympathy! Even if my reputation has been ruined, I don't want you to marry me out of sympathy!"
"No! Jinyu, I'm not marrying you out of sympathy. It's true that I'm worried about your reputation, but more because... because I like you!" Seeing that Pei Jinyu was about to leave, King Qin became anxious and had to speak out loudly.
After saying this, not only did Pei Jinyu's body freeze, his own face turned red like a cooked shrimp. This was the first time he had done such a bold thing to a woman.
After a long while, Pei Jinyu slowly turned around, with a hint of sparkle in her eyes, and said softly: "Are you serious? You... really like me?"
King Qin looked directly into Pei Jinyu's eyes, nodded firmly, and said, "Yes!"
In an instant, Pei Jinyu's mouth blossomed into a smile more beautiful than the surrounding flowers. She boldly stepped forward and threw herself into King Qin's arms and gave him a hug.
The endless mountaintops, the mountains and fields covered with flowers, and the two graceful and slender figures, viewed from afar, look like a talented man and a beautiful woman in a painting.
Not far away, the Duke's wife was standing there, looking at this scene, with a trace of sadness on her face, but she finally sighed. This girl can't be kept when she grows up, and there are some things that she really can't stop.
The Duke's wife took Pei Jinyu back to the Duke's Mansion. She didn't ask much about the King of Qin on the way, and Pei Jinyu just told her a few simple things. She knew that her mother was worried after all, but there was no way, she wanted to marry the person she loved, and she also believed in the character of the King of Qin.
Now, she was waiting in her mansion for the King of Qin to go to the palace to ask for the imperial decree granting the marriage, and then wait for him to come to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage. But before the King of Qin could get the imperial decree granting the marriage, a major event happened in Daxia, causing the Emperor to put the King of Qin's matter on hold for the time being.
This incident was a visit from Louxi, a foreign country of Daxia. Louxi was located in the west of Daxia, where the country was rich and the people were strong, with precious wealth and abundant resources. The topography there was also very peculiar, easy to defend but difficult to attack, which was why Louxi could remain prosperous. They had basically never had a war with other countries.
This time, Louxi came to Daxia mainly to expand business, to bring out the resources of their country and bring in some things of Daxia, so as to achieve mutual trade between the two countries. Of course, in order to achieve this, they brought their princess with sincerity, intending to strengthen the friendship between the two countries by means of marriage.
In order to welcome the envoy and princess from Louxi, Daxia held a large banquet in the palace. The streets leading into the city were covered with red carpets, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.
Xu Qingyan and the others were naturally honored to be able to attend this palace banquet, and even Pei Jingyuan, the illegitimate son, was honored to attend.
Xu Qingyan glanced at Pei Jingyuan who followed them out of the Duke's Mansion to attend the palace banquet, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [He really deserves to be the male protagonist! Originally, because of my accidental transmigration into the book, he had been suppressed and couldn't show his head, but now the fate in the book has come as promised. Tonight, the beautiful princess of Louxi will fall in love with Pei Jingyuan at first sight at the palace banquet, and start a sad and beautiful love affair with him. The princess has such a huge fortune behind her, and there is a country to support her. This time Pei Jingyuan is really lucky, and I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with him in the future! ]
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan and the others heard Xu Qingyan's thoughts and their brows couldn't help but frown. How could this foreign princess actually fall in love with Pei Jingyuan?
