Chapter 156 Vermillion Mole
"Your Highness is right. Among my princes, there are some good-looking ones, such as the Prince of Qin. His appearance should not be much different from Pei Jingchuan. Moreover, he has not yet married, and there is not even a concubine in the backyard. Princess, why not consider it?" The emperor said in line with what the Royal Highness said.
When Concubine Ru and Concubine Chun heard this, their faces changed and they couldn't help but get nervous. It seemed that the emperor wanted the King of Qin to marry the princess? How could that be possible?
Originally, the behavior of the King of Qin during this period was beyond their control. They were worried that the King of Qin would marry Pei Jinyu from the Duke of Ying's Mansion. Now, compared with the princess, they didn't want him to marry the princess even more.
After all, the princess spoke of the ten thousand taels of gold in such a relaxed tone just now, which shows how strong this princess is! If the King of Qin marries her, what will happen to him in the future?
Especially the appearance of Prince Qin, which was inherited from Concubine Yun. Among all the princes and grandchildren, he is the most handsome. Princess Louxi attaches so much importance to appearance. If she has to choose among the princes, she will definitely choose Prince Qin!
So, this time, Concubine Ru and Concubine Chun spoke in a rare tacit agreement.
Concubine Ru said first: "Yes! The King of Qin is handsome and charming, and is liked by many women in the capital. Moreover, the King of Qin is loyal in his feelings. He doesn't want any of the beauties I sent to him. He sent them all to Miss Pei as low-ranking maids."
Concubine Chun continued, "More than that! The King of Qin is kind-hearted. When he sees a woman like Miss Pei being bullied, he will stand up for her and save her many times."
The two of them were talking back and forth, and on the surface their words seemed to be praising King Qin, but in fact they were implying that King Qin had an abnormal relationship with Pei Jinyu.
The emperor naturally understood the meaning of these words, so he glared at the two of them fiercely.
Concubine Ru and Concubine Chun shrank their necks timidly. There was nothing they could do! At this point, if they didn't risk being blamed by the emperor, they would have to watch Princess Louxi choose the King of Qin.
At the same time, the King of Qin was a little nervous. He was afraid that Princess Louxi was really a woman who only cared about appearance. What if she really chose him? As the son of the emperor, this marriage matter was just a matter of his father's words. If he refused, I'm afraid...
Pei Jinyu was also nervous. She looked at the King of Qin with worry, and then looked at Princess Louxi. She was very anxious. Princess Louxi was so beautiful. If the King of Qin was forced to marry her, he would probably fall in love with such a beauty. By then, what would she be?
Just as the King of Qin and Pei Jinyu were struggling with their inner feelings, the King of Qin took a look at Pei Jinyu's red eyes and was about to kneel down to the Emperor and beg him to grant him and Pei Jinyu a marriage, when Princess Louxi spoke.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! But I think I'd better forget it for now! Today, I am not in the mood to choose again. Anyway, I will stay in Daxia for a while. When I slowly meet someone I like, I will tell Your Majesty!" Gu Yina said dejectedly without even looking at King Qin.
Having just been rejected by Pei Jingchuan, she was in no mood to continue choosing.
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Ru and Concubine Chun were also delighted. As long as it was not confirmed, there was still hope for their sons. They would let their sons take the initiative to pursue the princess!
At the same time, Pei Jingyuan sat quietly in an inconspicuous position, and a surge of ambition emerged in his heart. He thought, since Princess Xilouxi dared to choose his eldest brother so boldly, she didn't care about his status at all, so did it mean that he also had a chance? She could easily give him a promise of ten thousand taels of gold. If such a powerful and terrifying wealth could be given to him, coupled with his own talents, would he still worry about not having a backing for his ambitions? Besides, his position as the legal wife was vacant now, wasn't this just right?
So, he secretly began to think about seducing Guina.
Only some of the noble ladies in the hall who were at odds with Xu Qingyan were a little disappointed, especially Song Xiaoer and the others. They couldn't beat Xu Qingyan, and they wanted to watch the princess snatch her husband and laugh at her. Who knew that the princess would give up so easily? She is a princess! Why can't she turn against Xu Qingyan for this and continue to make things difficult for her?
Xu Qingyan was also quite surprised. In general, aren't the female characters in this book supposed to fight for the man they like? Especially one of such a noble status, why didn't he make things difficult for her, and she just left? This... this doesn't fit the development of the plot!
However, thinking about the original experience of the princess in the book, she seemed to understand a little more. [Gu Yina is actually a good girl. On the surface, she looks bright, proud and confident, which makes people think she is a willful princess. In fact, she is a very good person! In the book, she fell in love with Pei Jingyuan, but Pei Jingyuan deliberately kept her hanging. At that time, Pei Jingyuan and Xu Qingyue were deeply in love, and there was no room for others in their hearts. But he was reluctant to give up Princess Louxi's value, so he could only deceive and play with her feelings, pretending in front of her that he was forced to marry Xu Qingyue in order to repay the grace of saving his life. He made Gu Yina feel that he was a good man who valued love and righteousness, and she admired him even more. But he himself did not expect that he was also moved by Gu Yina's kindness and innocence bit by bit, and fell in love with her. ]
Xu Qingyan raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Louxi, then shook her head slightly. [In the book, Pei Jingyuan is a passionate and promiscuous male protagonist. He falls in love with every woman he meets. After Xu Qingyue knew that Pei Jingyuan fell in love with Gu Yina, she began to plot against her. First, she instigated Pei Jingyuan to use Gu Yina to destroy Louxi and swallow up Louxi's wealth. Later, she deliberately told Gu Yina the truth, and it was when Gu Yina was the weakest after giving birth. She couldn't bear the blow. On one side were her loved ones, and on the other side were her lover. In the end, she had no choice but to jump off the city wall! In the end, she became the pain in Pei Jingyuan's heart, the lingering cinnabar mole in his heart! ]
After listening to Xu Qingyan's complaints, Pei Jingchuan finally understood that this was the cinnabar mole! A country as big as Louxi was eventually destroyed by Pei Jingyuan using the princess. Pei Jingyuan was really capable!
Pei Jingchuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and at the same time thought that no matter what, he couldn't let Pei Jingyuan and the princess have any development this time. He had to think of a way to stop the two from developing.
With the princess' refusal, the emperor had nothing more to say and could only let it go.
He thought that his sons were not stupid and should know how to pursue the princess during this period of time. As for who would be able to catch her, that would depend on their respective abilities.
As an ambitious emperor, he also had some ideas about Lou Xi's wealth and power, but the age difference between him and the princess was too big. He could be the princess's father. The princess liked good-looking men, and he was old and... average-looking, so he was afraid that he would not be in the princess's eyes. He felt that the most promising person was his son, the King of Qin.
So he looked at the King of Qin.
