Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 25
Zhou Lingru wholeheartedly went against his father's wishes and wanted to marry Wei Yingning as his wife at the emperor's order. From then on, the father and son turned against each other, which was a happy thing for Huan Wang Li Mu.But listening to Zhou Lingru's words, he became inexplicably upset again.

Looking left and right at the hustle and bustle of the market, he also felt that it was full of hustle and bustle.

In the car of Wei Mansion, Ah Man was chattering non-stop, like a storyteller talking about the past of Ping Ning Xiaohou.

"Young Marquis Pingning is well versed in the art of war. He went out with his father at the age of 13. He is a natural general."

"Xiaohou Pingning doesn't even bat an eye when he kills the enemy on the battlefield, but outside of the battle, he is also a pure and kind person, not even stepping on an ant."

"Xiaohou Pingning has been stationed in Bianzhou all year round and has done a lot of good things for the people. Fighting against bandits and bandits to protect the people's safety, running schools to help the poor people, severely punishing bullies and killing corrupt and corrupt officials...all these things are true. The word spread. The people of Bianzhou don’t know the names of Bianzhou’s parents and officials, but they praise Pingning Xiaohou.”

"..."

Wei Yingning heard what Ah Man said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help asking her: "You didn't know Ping Ning Xiaohou before, how did you know so many things about him overnight?"

"The marriage was bestowed by the Son of Heaven. That person is good or bad. I have to find out." Ah Man was proud.

"Everyone praises Xiaohou Pingning as good, so he must be excellent." Even Wei Mammy interjected.She said: "In this way, if the eldest lady can get married with this young Marquis of Pingning, it will be a perfect match and a perfect match."

"Mother also thinks Pingning Xiaohou is good, doesn't she?" Ah Man became even more excited, "You have met him just now, and he is gentlemanly, gentle, meticulous and considerate, and he is perfect for my eldest lady! What's more, a saint bestows a marriage... this is clearly God's will!"

Wei Yingning was originally restless, but after letting them talk and laugh like this, his mind became more like a horse running like a monkey, and it was difficult to control himself.

The carriage quickly traveled to Yongping Lane and arrived at the gate of Wei Mansion.

Ah Man glanced across the outside of the car, and suddenly saw two familiar figures, and she couldn't help but yelled "Oh".Immediately, all the excitement on her face dissipated, and she looked at Wei Yingning gloomily.

How should a person who is destined to be let down face this?
Wei Yingning looked out, and saw Jiang Chiyi, the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and his attendant Qingshu, looking towards his car.

Jiang Chiyi frowned slightly, as if he had something on his mind.

"It's the lady of the Wei family who's back!" Qing Shu turned his head and told Jiang Chiyi after looking at it.

Jiang Chiyi straightened his clothes and greeted him with a happy face.

"Master Jiang." Wei Yingning got out of the car and bowed to him.

Jiang Chiyi bowed to return the gift, and without waiting for her to ask, he explained: "My mother got a few new boxes of Yunding tea. Knowing that your mother is also a good tea person, she asked me to bring a few boxes. I..."

He was clearly hesitant.

"Master Jiang must have heard about what happened in court yesterday." Facing him again, Wei Yingning felt ashamed, thinking that he must have come here for this matter, so he might as well start by himself and explain it clearly.

"I heard." Jiang Chiyi smiled wryly, "I heard that you were unwell and passed out in court yesterday. You were resisting..."

"It's really unwell." Wei Yingning hurriedly interrupted him.

She dared not look him directly.

Originally, the matter between her and him could not be completed because of the marriage bestowed by the emperor, so she was helpless, but now, she was moved by Zhou Lingru, the young prince of Pingning, and regardless of the outcome, she felt ashamed of Jiang Chiyi, It was as if he was the one who went back and forth and broke his word.

"Miss Wei," Jiang Chiyi suddenly approached, suppressed his voice, and said with great sincerity, "I also made meritorious service in Zidian Lake the day before yesterday, and my father also defended the saint Tianwei as hard as his father did in the court. If you resist and For the marriage in the Marquis of Pingning, I can go and ask my father to explain to the saint that you and I have already understood each other. The saint...the saint may not help you and me."

He has a countermeasure in mind.After hearing this, Wei Yingning didn't know how to answer him, and he was a bit embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wei, my words may have been a little reckless." Jiang Chiyi took half a step back, afraid that his excited words and deeds would make people feel abrupt like a girl.

But he came here on purpose today, just to ask for clarification, so he continued: "Miss Wei, tell me a word, if nothing else, would you marry that young Marquis Pingning, or would you marry me?"

He has restrained himself very much, but he still wants to force Wei Yingning, after all, there is no room for delay in this matter.If it is too late, I am afraid that everything will be a foregone conclusion, and it will be difficult to turn around.

He continued: "I know that my family background is not as prominent as that young Marquis Pingning's, and my official position and achievements cannot be compared with that Marquis Pingning's. Even my appearance is not as good as that Marquis Pingning's. ...Since I met Miss Wei at Zidian Lake the day before yesterday, my heart and eyes are full of Miss Wei."

"I..." He turned his body slightly, avoiding Ah Man and others, and told Wei Yingning with a suppressed voice: "I really like Miss Wei."

Hearing such a straightforward liking, Wei Yingning was inevitably ashamed.But also because of his straightforwardness, she saw that he was a sweetheart, and he was aboveboard.For this reason, she felt that she should not hide it from him.

She finally raised her eyes, looked at him and said: "I didn't want to accept the marriage offer from the saint, but since I met Ping Ning Xiaohou outside the palace yesterday, I will never forget him at first sight."

Jiang Chiyi suddenly felt lost, and he was stunned for a while and said in an idiotic voice: "I should have expected... I should have expected it long ago."

Looking at the whole of Kyoto, how many daughters don't care about Pingning Xiaohou's appearance?Heart of beauty in everyone.Not to mention that he still has such a character and family background, who wouldn't admire him?
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry." Wei Yingning told him sincerely, "Although the matter between me and Pingning Xiaohou has not yet been settled, and it is even very likely that this matter will not be possible, but even so, I don't want to hide it from you. What happened at Zidian Lake that day, blame me for being hasty."

"No, I don't blame you." Jiang Chiyi gradually recovered from his disappointment—a person like him should have gotten used to being rejected by others.He smiled and forced himself to say calmly: "Miss Wei has a clear mind, and she will definitely get what she wants."

Although he smiled, his words were sincere, but Wei Yingning could see a lot of sadness in his eyes.

She couldn't say anything more, it would be wrong to say more.So, she bowed down to him to say goodbye, then turned around and walked into the mansion.

Watching her back gradually drifting away, Jiang Chiyi no longer pretended.He was dejected and extremely lost.

"Young Master, please don't be sad." Qingshu comforted him skillfully, "This time the situation is already the best! At least, the lady of the Wei family didn't reject you because of your frivolity when you were young..."

"What do you know?" Jiang Chiyi stared at him, and said angrily, "I like Mrs. Wei, not because she didn't reject me because of my past that day! But because... I saw her playing with the sixth younger sister. At that time, I liked her!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed away angrily.

Qing Shu wiped his spittle-sprayed face, feeling aggrieved.
