"We elders won't get involved. Let the two younger ones talk."
After the elders exchanged greetings, as usual, only Xu Lingyi and the prince of the Duke's Mansion were left.
I have to say that he is worthy of being the candidate found by Qi Yuan.
This prince has a face that can make women fall in love with him.
His figure is not as tall and mighty as Qi Yuan, but his face is no less handsome.
"Miss Xu."
The moment the other party saw Xu Lingyi, he was stunned. He had originally agreed to meet her just to hook up with Prince Yan.
After all, the position of the future crown prince obviously belongs to the Prince of Yan, who has both military power and the emperor's blatant favoritism.
Everyone knows that among the emperor's dozen or so sons, the only one he truly cares about is this son with the queen.
In those days when the world was still unsettled, it was the Empress who accompanied Your Majesty from obscurity to the throne.
The emperor and the empress are a couple who share weal and woe.
"You...Xu...Miss Xu, are you a fairy?"
The other party usually prides himself on being steady, but now he is deeply shocked by Xu Lingyi's beauty.
He lowered his head and dared not look at her again, and his ears and neck turned red instantly.
If it was said that he wanted to use this marriage to get in touch with the King of Yan, he also wanted to take the opportunity to express his intention to surrender.
Now, the prince of the Duke's Mansion has completely forgotten all of this.
He really fell in love with Xu Lingyi at first sight and really wanted to marry her.
"Mr. Li..." Xu Lingyi also lowered her head.
Gu Qingfeng and Qi Yuan were watching from a distance.
"Go on, why don't you say anything after saying hello?"
Gu Qingfeng was a little anxious.
"But Your Highness, I think this couple should be able to succeed. The prince is blushing like a monkey's butt."
Qi Yuan's eyes were deep and gloomy, but he didn't say anything.
"Are you sure you've found out why this person doesn't look like the Duke's son, but rather a pervert."
Qi Yuan looked at the man coldly, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Gu Qingfeng: “???”
"Your Highness, he doesn't look like that. He looks quite innocent. Is it because your standards are too high?"
"Mr. Li, do you know about my past?" Xu Lingyi lowered her head and held the handkerchief.
Her voice was so gentle that it made the prince feel particularly numb.
"I know."
Originally, he was very concerned about it. After all, who could accept that his future wife had been engaged to someone else before, and the two of them were deeply in love with each other.
"I don't mind. Not to mention that you haven't gotten married, even if you have, I wouldn't mind."
He quickly expressed his opinion.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes slightly, a little surprised.
"Master Li, do you really not mind? The Xu family's status is already insignificant compared to the Duke's Mansion... I originally thought that the young master's family would dislike me."
When he met her extremely beautiful eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he was reluctant to look away for a moment.
"I was originally very concerned... I have been chaste for many years and have no concubines at home, all for the sake of being able to marry the princess."
He seemed to be stunned, and told her everything frankly.
"It's just that the Prince of Yan came to us, and my family didn't want to miss out on this great opportunity, so they thought of letting me marry you first, and then wait a few years until you die of illness, so I can marry someone else."
Seeing Xu Lingyi covering her mouth in shock, he quickly explained, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. After meeting you today, all these thoughts have disappeared."
"Don't worry, as long as you marry me, I will protect you well. I originally wanted to marry only one wife, and you will only be my wife in the future..."
The people from the Duke's Mansion and the Xu Mansion heard these words not far away and were all stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
That's why I didn't stop the man immediately, and let him say all these words.
"You bastard... who taught you to say such nonsense and obscene words?"
The wife of the Duke's Mansion was shocked and furious, but this was not the time to be angry. If these words were to spread today, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's wife said coldly, "None of you heard these words today."
It was directed at both the servants and the Xu family members here.
"Don't worry... the Xu family will definitely not tell anyone."
The old lady just spoke.
Qi Yuan walked out with Gu Qingfeng, his face cold.
For a moment the air seemed to be silent.
Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips.
"The Duke's Mansion truly has a fine family tradition. Today, I have witnessed it."
Qi Yuan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the cold look on his face was chilling.
The wife of the Duke's Mansion quickly knelt down, prostrated herself on the ground, and trembled all over.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. This is all just nonsense from this evil creature. Don't take it seriously."
Seeing that everyone in the Duke's Mansion was kneeling on the ground, the lady who had been so arrogant just now no longer had any dignity, but only fear.
Xu Lingyi chuckled in her heart, and she also thought of the widower in the Bo's Mansion last time.
He died at Qi Yuan's hands, but his death was also somewhat related to her.
But the Anding Marquis’s family not only did not dare to make any accusations or resentments, but also tremblingly brought gifts to apologize to her.
Xu Lingyi once again felt the importance of power in her heart.
"Let's call off this marriage." Qi Yuan said in a cold voice. Upon hearing this, the wife of the Duke's Mansion fell heavily to the ground.
This time, not only did his family fail to get close to the King of Yan, but they also offended him.
How should she explain it when she gets back?
Qi Yuan stepped towards Xu Lingyi and said, "Tomorrow, the king will arrange for you to meet with another person. This person is considered my cousin and has a good character. He will definitely not behave like he did today."
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes, "Really...really?"
Her eyes were red, and she looked particularly weak and pitiful standing there.
