Chapter 602 Otherwise, I will always be unwilling
Xing Xing had dealt with Princess Qing'an several times and had a good impression of her. Upon hearing this, she exclaimed with great interest and said with a smile, "Then I will definitely go and congratulate the princess when the time comes."
Mammy smiled and waved her hands: "It's hard to say yet."
After a brief chat, the nanny left.
Yu Yongliu came over not long after.
The invitation to Prince Ying's manor was on the table. Xingxing hadn't put it away yet and was sitting there eating ice cream. When she saw Yu Yongliu coming over, she swallowed the ice cream in her mouth and called out, "Third brother."
"My aunt just had someone send it over. There's still a lot left. I put it in the ice box. Third brother, do you want some? I'll ask Zhaoying to get you a bowl."
Yu Yongliu agreed indifferently, and Xingxing asked Zhaoying to get a bowl from the ice box for Yu Yongliu.
The brother and sister sat together on the couch in front of the window and ate ice cream.
Yu Yongliu seemed to be chatting casually: "Just now I saw a strange nanny coming to your courtyard?"
Xing Xing nodded: "It's the maid from Prince Ying's mansion. She invited me to go to the manor to play tomorrow."
Yu Yongliu hummed, "Princess Ying brought the princess home today, and invited you to play with them. It's polite to go back and forth."
Xing Xing suddenly glanced at Yu Yongliu, smiled secretly, and deliberately said, "Yes. That's what I just heard from the nanny. Tomorrow, the cousin from Princess Ying's family will come to the manor. The nanny also said that maybe the princess will have a good thing soon... Third brother, what do you think the nanny meant by this? Did she mean that the Princess Qing'an will meet that cousin tomorrow, and was afraid that there would be too few people, so she asked us to go together to liven things up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xingxing noticed that her good third brother's expression suddenly changed.
Yu Yongliu sat there in silence, not saying a word for a long time.
Xing Xing couldn't hold it in any longer, and signaled Zhao Ying to take the maids in the room to leave. Then she gently nudged Yu Yongliu with her arm and said softly, "Third brother, if you care about Princess Qing'an, you can ask Second Aunt to find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."
Yu Yongliu just shook his head: "...I asked her, but she didn't want to."
Xing Xing exclaimed "Ah!" She really didn't expect it to turn out this way.
"Impossible?" Xing Xing suddenly became suspicious.
Today she really paid special attention to Princess Qing'an. The look in Princess Qing'an's eyes when she looked at her third brother was obviously not right.
Could it be that she saw it wrong?
That’s not right. It’s okay if you make a mistake once or twice, but how can you make a mistake every time?
Xingxing looked at Yu Yongliu suspiciously.
"Did Princess Qing'an really refuse at that time?" Xing Xing whispered, "Third brother, tell me, what did you say to her at that time?"
Yu Yongliu paused, and a blush appeared on the handsome young man's face.
Telling my sister about my love affairs is too...
"...In short, she refused." Yu Yongliu did not expect that he had never run out of words in the Golden Palace, and this was the first time he did not know what to say when explaining such a thing to his sister.
Xingxing looked at Yu Yongliu's poor expression and she understood.
"Third brother, I have an immature guess. Could it be that you..." Xing Xing coughed lightly, "You didn't know how to tell Princess Qing'an at the time, which led to many misunderstandings?"
Otherwise, why would Princess Qing'an look like that today?
Even later, Princess Ying brought Princess Qing'an to visit, which in itself was a signal.
Yu Yongliu frowned and said nothing.
He was obviously thinking whether he had said something wrong at that time.
Xing Xing said "Hi!" and patted Yu Yongliu's arm: "Third brother! Guess why the nanny was fine today and suddenly told me that the cousin is coming over tomorrow and the princess is about to get married?"
Yu Yongliu was stunned.
He didn't expect that his sister, despite her young age, could see things so clearly.
Yu Yongliu was determined.
He couldn't miss this opportunity and suffer regrets for the rest of his life!
Yu Yongliu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up, as if he had found his target.
Xing Xing was also excited: "Third brother, you can do it! You can definitely do it!"
He was almost standing on the table to cheer Yu Yongliu up!
Yu Yongliu said helplessly: "You are still young, and you may not understand the word love... But I really want to give it a try. Otherwise, I will always be unwilling."
Xing Xing nodded frantically: "Yeah, yeah, let's try it, let's try it!"
Yu Yongliu clenched his fist, nodded at Xingxing, and strode out.
Xingxing looked at Yu Yongliu's back, exclaimed "Oh!", and held her chin with her hands, feeling somewhat excited.
Is she going to have a third sister-in-law?
When the gateman of Prince Ying's manor brought the news that Yu Yongliu wanted to see her, Princess Qing'an was accompanying Princess Ying, watching her play cards.
When she heard the news, her hands trembled and the melon seeds she was peeling fell to the ground.
Princess Ying was quite satisfied.
It seems that he just got the news and rushed here.
That's right!
Why is it that only her precious daughter is trapped in love?
Princess Ying smiled and asked the maid to cancel the card game.
She asked Princess Qing'an: "Good Ningning, should we leave him alone?"
Princess Qing'an's heart was beating so fast that she hesitated: "...What if they come for some serious business?"
Princess Ying tapped her daughter's head in disapproval: "Marrying you is the most important thing in the world!"
Princess Qing'an covered the place on her head where she was stabbed, her heart in turmoil.
Princess Ying looked at her daughter and asked, "How about we leave him alone for a while?"
"Don't—" Princess Qing'an blurted out.
Seeing Princess Ying glaring at her, she twisted her fingers and said, "Mother, what if he really has something else to do and is delayed?"
Princess Ying laughed out of anger, she also realized that her daughter had already put all her heart into it before anything happened.
Indeed!
Yu Yongliu was a pretty good young man, but before she could do anything, he had already "tricked" her sweet daughter into looking so silly. Princess Ying felt angry and helpless.
"Alright. I won't be a bad person anymore." Princess Ying reluctantly asked someone to invite Yu Yongliu in.
Princess Qing'an was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to face Yu Yongliu, so she simply hid in the inner room.
Yu Yongliu came in, lifted the hem of his shirt, and bowed to Princess Ying: "I have something to ask of you, Princess."
Princess Ying was shocked.
Wouldn't this top scholar just kneel down and ask for marriage?
There is a saying that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.
Princess Ying had some resentment in her heart before, but now, looking at the handsome young man kneeling in front of her, who was still dignified but also very pleading, the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
However, Princess Ying originally planned to wait for Yu Yongliu to ask for marriage in person, but she didn't expect that Yu Yongliu actually wanted to meet Princess Qing'an.
