Qingli saw a hint of bitterness in Su Qingyue's eyes.
She felt that Su Qingyue had been hurt because of her appearance, and she only said that she didn't care, but she actually cared in her heart.
Qingli didn't dare to say anything else, fearing that Su Qingyue would feel inferior. She thought she would wait until there was a suitable opportunity in the future to show it to her.
Qingli quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.
After eating, they started on their way again.
Just after leaving Huai'an City, I met Nangong Rong again.
Nangong Rong looked at Su Qingyue's carriage, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately rode over.
"Miss Su, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Hearing this voice, Su Qingyue's face suddenly turned bad.
Qingli thought she was afraid of the man outside, so she said, "Qingyue, how about I help you get rid of him? This man is really annoying."
Qingli clenched her fists and spoke viciously.
Su Qingyue hurriedly pulled her back, "No need, just come here."
Su Qingyue opened the curtain and said to Nangong Rong, "Rong, what's the matter?"
Nangong Rong smiled and said, "Miss Su, we meet again. Isn't this also a kind of fate? You can follow our team in your carriage. It's safer this way."
Su Qingyue refused calmly, "No need, I have my own guards, so I won't bother you. We are not in a hurry. We should enjoy the scenery along the way and go back slowly. I won't delay you."
Hearing this, Nangong Rong said, "It doesn't matter. We are not in a hurry."
Hearing this, there was no smile on Su Qingyue's face. This Nangong Rong was still as arrogant and stupid as ever.
It’s no wonder that such a person cannot defeat Nangong Mo, the rat in the gutter.
Su Qingyue spoke directly in a cold voice.
"Yong, you and I are not very familiar with each other. There is a difference between men and women. I dare not let you escort me. Please don't ruin your reputation."
Su Qingyue's words were very impolite, and Nangong Rong could no longer maintain his smile, and the corners of his mouth slowly dropped.
"Miss Su, I have already prepared the betrothal gifts. If you don't go to the Su family to propose marriage, then you won't be considered a man or a woman."
Nangong Rong spoke directly, his tone was firm and unyielding, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
There was a flash of surprise in Su Qingyue's eyes!
In the past two years, both Prince An's Mansion and Prince Xian's Mansion had proposed marriage, but they all came quietly and did not dare to make it public.
Because of Su Qingyue's fate of being a phoenix, many ordinary families did not dare to propose marriage to her, fearing that they would be accused of wanting to rebel.
Soon after His Majesty ascended the throne, he began to lead the army in person. After three years of fighting, he suffered a leg disease. Later, his family died, so he never appointed a queen nor took in any concubines.
Because of the matter of Tian Xuan Feng Ming, the Su family had always wanted the emperor to marry their daughter, so they had never promised their daughter to anyone.
It has been so many years since the news of Tian Feng Ming spread, and the emperor has never had any intention of getting married. Seeing that his daughter is getting older, the Su family is now very anxious.
At this time, the two families of Prince An and Prince Xian, who were members of the royal family, continued to extend olive branches to the Su family.
There are also rumors that the emperor is now extinct, and the successor to the throne will be chosen from among the royal family's younger brothers.
After this rumor came out, everyone began to speculate about the candidate for the heir to the throne.
The most popular candidates are Nangong Rong from Prince An's Mansion and Nangong Rui from Prince Xian's Mansion.
In addition, there is a second-in-command, Nangong Mo, in Prince An's Mansion, and a second-in-command, Nangong Yi, in Prince Xian's Mansion. However, Nangong Yi has been weak since childhood and is not considered by everyone.
Both Prince An's Mansion and Prince Xian's Mansion offered the title of Consort to Su Qingyue, wanting to marry her.
But the Su family is still wavering, undecided about who will eventually ascend the throne, so they dare not place a bet casually.
However, both families had only contacted the Su family privately and had not yet actually offered betrothal gifts.
After all, proposing to Su Qingyue in marriage also represents another meaning. Without informing the emperor, they dare not offer the betrothal gift openly.
But today, Nangong Rong has already told the emperor, and the emperor has no reaction to his request to marry Su Qingyue, and readily nodded in agreement.
This made Nangong Rong very happy! He secretly thought in his heart that the emperor did not agree with him. After all, everyone knew that Su Qingyue was born with the fate of a phoenix.
Therefore, Nangong Rong dared to say this to Su Qingyue now.
After Su Qingyue was surprised, she immediately understood what Nangong Rong meant. The emperor had already agreed.
Thinking of this, she suddenly panicked! Why does it seem different from before? Before, she didn't sneak out, nor did she meet Nangong Rong.
The proposal of marriage by Prince An's Mansion was also made more than ten years ago, but now it has been changed.
This made Su Qingyue feel uneasy.
Qingli saw the panic and uneasiness in Su Qingyue's eyes, and immediately became displeased with Nangong Rong outside.
She directly took out a small flying knife from her Qiankun bag. With a whoosh, the sharp flying knife brushed past Nangong Rong's face, leaving a scratch on his fair skin.
The flying knife did not stop, but shot straight towards the luxurious carriage in front.
"There's an assassin!"
The guards around the carriage immediately changed their expressions. They all drew their swords and looked around for targets with sharp eyes.
After discovering that the flying knife was shot from Su Qingyue's carriage, everyone immediately raised their swords and surrounded Su Qingyue's carriage.
Nangong Rong wiped his face and looked at the blood on his hands, his eyes immediately became gloomy.
"Who's in the carriage? Get out immediately!"
Before Nangong Rong could open his mouth, the leading guard commander shouted directly at the carriage.
Nangong Rong didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly said: "Commander Wei, there is the daughter of Prime Minister Su in the carriage. They are a little unhappy. Miss Su was playing with you and accidentally shot a flying knife. It's not an assassin."
Su Qingyue in the carriage felt something was not right when she heard this. Could it be that there was someone else with Nangong Rong, and someone of noble status?
She immediately drew aside the curtain and saw that the person leading the group was Wei Zhao, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Su Qingyue immediately understood what was going on and was shocked! The emperor is here too.
She hurriedly got out of the car and explained to Commander Wei, "Sir Wei, we didn't see the assassin. He kept pestering us, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took action. I didn't expect the flying knife to fly so far. It was really our fault. Sorry! I don't know if anyone was hurt?"
Commander Wei's face was cold and hard. "No, if you hurt someone, you can't stand here and talk properly at this moment."
Qingli in the carriage felt that this man was extremely arrogant. She lifted the curtain and spoke to Commander Wei.
"Who is so precious? You want to kill us if we get hurt? You are so arrogant."
Qingli was very unconvinced.
The Imperial Guards didn't often see Su Qingyue, and they didn't notice that Qingli looked very similar to Su Qingyue. At this time, Su Qingyue had her face covered, and they couldn't see the resemblance between the two, so they didn't have any special expressions when looking at Qingli.
Only Nangong Rong was surprised again.
Commander Wei looked at the woman who got off the carriage, frowned and said, "Of course she is someone you can't afford to offend. Did you throw the flying knife just now?"
Qingli nodded, looked at Nangong Rong, and then said: "Do you like this guy? He is so ugly, and he always comes to harass us. No matter how we talk to him, he won't leave. He has to pester me. Facing such a scoundrel, I can only teach him a lesson. "
Just now Su Qingyue called her "sister", and now Qingli also called her "sister".
Su Qingyue just felt that the voice of "sister" was extremely nice, and the corners of her mouth under the veil could not help but curl up.
Qingli's words made Nangong Rong's face darken instantly. He had never been said that before.
