1268 Refusal to Meet, Ninth Prince's Peach Blossom

Although Feng Qingchen left Beijing quietly without alarming anyone, many people knew about it.

Wang Jinling was the first to receive the news. Upon learning that Feng Qingchen left without saying goodbye, Wang Jinling did not ride his horse to chase after him. He just locked himself in the study and did not come out until the whole night.

There was nothing unusual about his expression, but his eyes lacked their usual brilliance. Just as Wang Jinhan said, he could deceive everyone but himself.

However, heartache becomes numb after a while.

The second family to receive the news was the Yun family. The Yun family had been keeping an eye on Feng Qingchen, fearing that Feng Qingchen would give the pregnancy-preserving drugs to others to sell. Now that they saw Feng Qingchen leaving Beijing, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Luo and Fu Lin received news that Feng Qingchen had left the imperial city a day and a night ago, so it was too late for this group to catch up with her.

"What's so good about the Ninth Prince that makes him worth all your efforts?" Prince Luo murmured, but unfortunately no one answered for him. Fu Lin just sighed softly, his bright eyes dimmed a little, but more of it was thought through.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen cannot be separated, so he should put his thoughts aside.

Feng Qingchen traveled day and night, and would never stop unless it was necessary. She didn't want to waste time on the road. She really missed the Ninth Prince and wanted to see him as soon as possible.

The Ninth Prince was in Nanling and was personally welcomed into the city by the Emperor of Nanling. He was warmly received by the people of Nanling, especially Princess Mingwei of Nanling, who was extremely attentive to the Ninth Prince and made no effort to hide her admiration and love for him.

The Ninth Prince Uncle not only won face but also substance in Nanling. The Emperor of Nanling never mentioned the Ninth Prince Uncle's disrespectful behavior at the city gate. However, the Nanling royal family could not mention it for the sake of border peace and national stability, but the Palace Master of the Jixia Academy could not do it.

The Palace Master is from Nanling. Although he takes it as his responsibility to teach students all over the world, he still feels differently towards Nanling. The Ninth Prince has acted arrogantly in Nanling, which is also a lack of face for him.

A man lives by his face. As a palace lord who is famous throughout the nine provinces, he cares more about his face than most people. The Ninth Prince asked to see him several times, but he refused.

The Ninth Prince was not angry. He handed over the invitations as usual every day. When the Palace Master said he did not want to see him, the Ninth Prince did not say much and just turned around and left.

Asking for an audience every day was giving the Palace Master enough face, but after being rejected, he did not take any other action, which seemed like contempt. Not to mention others, even the Palace Master did not understand what the Ninth Prince meant.

On this day, the Ninth Prince went to see the Palace Master again. After being rejected as usual, he met Princess Mingwei who also came to ask to see the Palace Master.

Princess Mingwei is half the apprentice of the Palace Master, and she is also the Princess of Nanling. It is not difficult for her to see the Palace Master. However, the doorman just stopped the Ninth Prince, and this group let Princess Minghua in. It is really...

So embarrassing!

Princess Mingwei is not very pretty, but she has a good temperament. Perhaps it is because she is well-read, Princess Mingwei exudes bookish air from head to toe. She looks gentle and elegant, and it is impossible to dislike her.

Princess Mingwei had no shortage of suitors in Nanling, but she had always been chaste and cherished her reputation. However, when facing the Ninth Prince, she seemed to have given up both her reputation and status.

Princess Mingwei chose this time to come specifically for Uncle Nine. Seeing the servants' embarrassment, Princess Mingwei said to Uncle Nine considerately, "Uncle Nine, do you want to go with me to see the Palace Master?"

This was clearly to help the Ninth Uncle. As long as the Ninth Uncle nodded slightly, the matter of coming to Nanling would be settled. However, the Ninth Uncle shook his head without thinking: "Thank you, but it's not necessary."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When has Dong Lingjiu ever needed a woman's help, except Feng Qingchen of course.

"Uncle Nine, wait a minute." Princess Mingwei was anxious and picked up her skirt to chase after him.

Standing in front of the Ninth Uncle, her pretty face was full of questions: "Why?"

"I am happy." The Ninth Prince had an indifferent expression. He did not have the arrogance of a playboy. However, he made people feel that he was even more arrogant than the playboy.

Princess Mingwei bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I just want to help you." Without asking for anything in return.

"No need." The Ninth Prince didn't even look at the other person, turned around and got on the carriage.

Princess Mingwei stood there, her eyes red, looking like she was about to cry.

The eighteen riders of the Si family shook their heads and sighed: The Ninth Prince is really harmful to us. He actually left our delicate little princess there. It was obvious that the little princess came here for him.

This was just a small episode, but the story did not end there. After that, in Nanling, wherever the Ninth Prince was, Princess Mingwei would definitely be there. Princess Mingwei did not pester him, but just sat in a corner. After the Ninth Prince left, she would leave quietly.

Because she was so practical, the Ninth Prince did not notice her existence at all. By the time the Ninth Prince discovered the existence of Princess Mingwei, rumors about him and Princess Mingwei had spread everywhere, and everyone said that the Ninth Prince would marry Princess Mingwei.

Looking across the Jiuzhou Continent, there are not many women who can match the Ninth Prince, and Princess Mingwei is definitely one of them. She is of noble birth, gentle and polite, dignified and virtuous, and knows how to act and retreat. She is simply the template of a princess. The most important thing is that Princess Mingwei is deeply in love with the Ninth Prince. If the Ninth Prince does not marry such a person as his concubine, who else can he marry?

Emperor Nanling also hinted to the Ninth Uncle and gave him the greatest convenience, implying that Nanling would agree to the Ninth Uncle marrying Feng Qingchen as his concubine.

After all, this kind of thing is embarrassing. Emperor Nanling hinted very obscurely, and the Ninth Prince pretended not to understand. As for the rumors about Princess Mingwei, the Ninth Prince just let it go.

This is Nanling. How could he use his power in Nanling for such a meaningless thing?

The Ninth Prince had been staying in Nanling for nearly a month and had not brought the person back, but he was not in a hurry at all. Even though the Palace Master still refused to see him, the Ninth Prince did not show any dissatisfaction.

But he is not in a hurry, while others are.

The war between Dongling and Xiling was raging, and there were occasional attacks on the border of Nanling. Although Beiling's troops had not entered Nanling's territory, they had not left either. Under such circumstances, how could Nanling have the mind to entertain the Ninth Prince, or to be on guard against the Ninth Prince.

"Wei'er? What did the Palace Master say? Is he still unwilling to see the Ninth Prince?" Emperor Nanling was so anxious that he had to pull his daughter over to ask.

"Palace Master wants the Ninth Prince to apologize to Nanling in public, otherwise I will never see the Ninth Prince." Princess Mingwei said with embarrassment.

On one side is her country, and on the other side is the man she loves. She really doesn't know what to do.

"I also want the Ninth Uncle to apologize, but with the Ninth Uncle's personality, how could he apologize to me, Nanling?" Emperor Nanling gave a bitter smile.

He didn't understand how the Ninth Uncle, a lazy prince, could be so confident, but he really couldn't touch the Ninth Uncle.

Princess Minghua sighed softly: "How about I go and persuade the palace master again?"

"No need. The Palace Master will find a solution sooner or later. The most important thing is how is your relationship with the Ninth Prince?" Emperor Nanling allowed the Ninth Prince to stay, and he also had his own selfish motives. He wanted to use this time to let Princess Mingwei get close to the Ninth Prince. It would be best if the Ninth Prince could fall in love with Princess Mingwei.

Princess Mingwei shook her head sadly: "Uncle Nine is unmoved, and I don't know what to do."

Speaking of this, Emperor Nanling and Princess Minghua were both extremely discouraged. Feng Qingchen had clearly approached the Ninth Prince in a shameless manner, and then helped him several times, gradually gaining his favor. Why couldn't she do it?
