Chapter 474: Helping my sister to snatch a man... I am not alone when you are with me
Xu Changfeng had met Song Qing twice. Although he was a weak scholar, he had a handsome face, otherwise he would not have become the third place in the imperial examination.
The point is, not only is he good-looking, he is also tall and slender, a bit thin, and gentle and elegant, making him the best candidate to be his brother-in-law.
Xu Qingqing had met the third place winner Song Qing before. He was handsome, well-educated and well-mannered. When she heard that the third place winner was going on a blind date, she couldn't help but feel curious.
Just when Xu Qingqing was curious, Xu Changfeng grabbed her arm, pushed open the door of the private room next door and went in.
The people inside were having a lively conversation when they were interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening. Four pairs of eyes looked towards the door with confusion.
The prime minister recognized them at a glance as General Xu's son and daughter. He said with a fake smile, "Isn't this Mr. Xu? Why are you so rude?"
Xu Changfeng naturally heard the sarcasm in the prime minister's words. He smiled slightly and said, "I just drank a little bit of wine and went to the wrong door."
He glanced at the two daughters of the top scholar and the prime minister in the private room, and said with a smile on his face, "Are these two the prime minister's daughters? Rumor has it that the daughters are not good-looking and plain-looking, but seeing is believing... They are much better than the rumors say, and they are presentable."
If Shen Chuwei were here, she would find that Xu Changfeng's ability to argue with people is twice as powerful as Xu Qingqing's!
Being told that his daughter was ugly in front of him, the prime minister's face immediately darkened. Seeing Xu Qingqing beside Xu Changfeng, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, are you accompanying your sister to a blind date today? How many times have you tried this? And you still haven't found someone you like? If you still don't like someone, you're too old."
Xu Changfeng glanced at the prime minister's two daughters and laughed instead of getting angry: "Prime Minister, you are joking. My sister looks even more delicate and tender than the other daughters."
The prime minister clenched his fists in anger, but he restrained himself from losing his temper. The Xu family was so powerful that it would not be good for him to fall out with them.
Just as the prime minister and Xu Changfeng were bickering with each other, Xu Qingqing came over and sat down next to Song Qing, smiling and greeting him, "Mr. Song, I haven't seen you for three months. Are the Crown Princess and Tao Tao Su Su all right?"
Three months after leaving the palace, Xu Qingqing missed them the most. If she had known that she would be so busy going on blind dates when she returned home, she would have rather stayed in the palace for a few months.
Song Qing originally wanted to say a few perfunctory words and leave, but he didn't expect to run into Concubine Xu here. No, it should be Miss Xu.
"The Crown Princess is very nice, and so are the Crown Prince and the little princess."
"As long as they are well, I'm glad. It's a pity that I can't enter the palace at will now. I can't see them even when I want to." When Xu Qingqing saw Song Qing, she found that she missed them even more, because Song Qing could see the Crown Princess and the others every day.
"By the way, I'll buy some food later. You can go to the palace tomorrow and serve it to them. The Crown Princess likes to eat tea cakes, meat cakes, pastries, etc. They taste best when they are fresh out of the pan."
Xu Qingqing thought about it and suggested, "Tomorrow before you enter the palace, wait for me on the street. I'll buy some fresh food for you to bring into the palace."
Song Qing nodded readily, "Okay."
The prime minister looked at the two people talking happily in front of him, and his face suddenly sank. How could she seduce her future son-in-law in front of him? How could there be such a shameless woman in the world?
The prime minister was just about to remind Xu Qingqing that this was a blind date between his daughter and Song Qing, when he heard Xu Changfeng say, "Song Tanhua, you and my sister get along quite well. How about having dinner and drinking together tomorrow?"
Xu Changfeng has accompanied his sister on several blind dates, but this is the first time he has seen her get along so well with a man. She is probably attracted to Song Tanhua.
The prime minister asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Changfeng replied politely: "It means literally."
Just as the prime minister was about to get angry, the door of the private room opened.
The moment the door opened, everyone looked towards the door, and when they saw Prince Yu, they were all stunned.
When Xiao Jinyu saw the people in the room, he was stunned for a moment. If he hadn't seen the prime minister and Song Qing, he would have suspected that he had really taken the wrong path.
He came this time deliberately under the pretext of going to the wrong door and ruining this blind date.
Xu Changfeng was the first to react and stepped forward to salute: "Prince Yu."
The people in the private room also responded and stood up to salute.
"King Yu."
Xiao Jinyu walked in confidently, waving a folding fan, and looked at the people in the private room again. He saw two unfamiliar young women, and it was not difficult to guess that they were the prime minister's daughters.
She has a plain appearance and a plain figure.
That's it, is there any need for him to mess things up? Even people who have a little bit of requirements on appearance don't look down on him~
Xiao Jinyu coughed lightly and said, "I've taken the wrong path. What are you doing?"
The prime minister was a little embarrassed to say that his daughter was on a blind date with Song Tanhua.
In the two seconds that the prime minister hesitated, Xu Changfeng took over, "Prince Yu, the prime minister is arranging a blind date for his daughter. He was afraid that Song Tanhua would not like her, so he brought both of his daughters here. If one fails, there is still another one. What a pity..."
Without further ado, everyone understands what I mean.
The prime minister was so angry that his face turned blacker than the bottom of a pot, but he couldn't say anything in front of Prince Yu.
Xiao Jinyu naturally understood what Xu Changfeng meant. He raised his folding fan, afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
"Prime Minister, how is the situation going?"
The prime minister forced a faint smile and said, "There is no result yet."
"Oh." Xiao Jinyu nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Xu Changfeng, "Why is Master Xu here?"
The prime minister sneered in his heart when he heard this. He finally got the chance and answered quickly: "Mr. Xu is here with his sister for a blind date. He is old, so it is normal for him to be anxious."
Xu Changfeng rolled his eyes at the prime minister. Even at his age, he was not afraid of sticking his tongue in his mouth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Qing took two steps forward and said, "Prince Yu, Prime Minister, I have something else to do, so I will go first."
The prime minister wanted to keep Song Qing to discuss the marriage, but Xiao Jinyu got the better of him and said, "You should go back first. We can have a drink together some other time."
Song Qing responded and left.
The prime minister watched Song Qing leave. The blind date that he had arranged with great difficulty was ruined.
When Xiao Jinyu saw Song Qing had left, he felt there was no need for him to stay, so he left as well, waving his folding fan.
Xu Qingqing chased after him, "Prince Yu."
When Xu Changfeng saw his sister chasing after Prince Yu, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes. No way, is she interested in Prince Yu again?
He chased after him with doubts.
Only the prime minister and his concubine were left in the private room, and they were so angry that their livers ached.
Xiao Jinyu realized someone was calling her, and when she turned around she saw Concubine Xu, it was Miss Xu...
"What do you want to call me for?"
Xu Qingqing didn't beat around the bush. "I just miss the Crown Princess. Can you take them out to play?"
"This is a bit difficult. If I take my sister-in-law out to play without permission, the Crown Prince will be angry." In fact, Xiao Jinyu also had this idea. The babies have never been out to play, so it is difficult.
Xu Qingqing felt a little disappointed, "Okay, I just miss the Crown Princess."
Xiao Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "When the crown prince comes back, I assume he will take his sister-in-law out to play. Then you two can meet."
Xu Qingqing said: "This is the only way."
After Xiao Jinyu walked away, Xu Changfeng came over and said, "Prince Yu is handsome and has a good figure. Although he has two concubines, he has no principal wife. If you really like him, it would be nice to ask father to arrange a marriage for you to become Prince Yu's consort."
Xu Qingqing was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning after hearing this. She turned around and glared at Xu Changfeng, "Brother, what are you talking about? How could I like Prince Yu?"
Xu Changfeng thought his sister was embarrassed, so he said with a wicked smile: "You don't like him, but you're still chasing after him? Do you still treat me as an outsider?"
Xu Changfeng is one year older than Xu Qingqing, and they have a good relationship. Xu Qingqing will tell Xu Changfeng everything.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Changfeng, "I just miss the Crown Princess. Prince Yu and the Crown Princess have a very good relationship. I'm just asking."
Xu Changfeng responded immediately, "I understand. You like Song Tanhua, right? Just now I saw you took the initiative to talk to him and seemed very happy. Don't worry, sister. Song Tanhua is the future son-in-law of our Xu family, my future brother-in-law."
Xu Qingqing: “…” Where’s your brain when you’re arguing with people?
She took Xu Changfeng's arm and said, "I don't like him either."
Xu Changfeng was stunned. "You don't like the third place either, then what kind of person do you like? It can't be someone like the crown prince, right? A man as talented and stunning as the crown prince is really hard to find in this world."
Xu Qingqing said helplessly: "At first I liked the prince. After all, he is the most handsome man in Da Xia. Who wouldn't be moved when seeing him? But I don't like him anymore."
Xu Changfeng knew the reason why his sister left the palace, which was that the prince did not like his sister. When he heard his sister so disappointed, he thought she was sad.
He comforted her, "Sister, no matter how handsome you are, it's useless. The best destination is a man who loves you as much as I do. It's okay if you don't like the third place winner, isn't there a second place winner? Even if he's not as good-looking as the third place winner, he's still okay. I'll ask him out to meet me some other day."
Xu Qingqing retorted: "Who said being handsome is useless? It affects the appearance of the next generation." She pointed to her head and said: "And intelligence, you also need to find a smart man."
Xu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding his sister's train of thought. "The third place winner is both talented and beautiful, why don't you like him?"
Xu Qingqing said: "So what if she is both talented and beautiful? There is more to her than just that."
Xu Changfeng: "..." Just now you said that you need to have both talent and beauty, but now you think that both talent and beauty are not enough...
Xu Qingqing blinked her almond-shaped eyes and asked softly, "Brother, if I'm so picky, will I really be unable to get married?"
Xu Changfeng asked back: "What do you think?"
Xu Qingqing thought of Jun Wuxian. How regretful would it be if she couldn't marry him in this life?
"It's too lonely to be alone. If I marry someone I don't like, I will regret it."
Xu Changfeng patted his sister's back soothingly, "Sister, you have grown up."
Xu Qingqing said: "Then I'll wait a little longer."
She and Jun Wuxian haven't seen each other for more than half a year. If Jun Wuxian doesn't come to see her, then... she will find someone she likes and marry him, otherwise she will be too lonely.
"Come on, brother will take you to eat something delicious." Xu Changfeng took his sister to the pastry stall.
Wangcai reminded him like a dog: "Master, isn't that Miss Xu? I heard that she is going on a blind date with the newly promoted number one scholar today."
