Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

Page 124

During the morning meal.

Perhaps it was the Duke of the State who told Princess Pingning everything about King Yong's mansion in detail.

The eyes she occasionally looked at Qi Heng were more cautious and thoughtful.

Qi Heng endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore after eating.

"Mother, do you have something to say?"

"If you want to express your admiration for me, my son accepts it."

"Can you stop looking at me like this all the time?"

Unexpected.

Princess Pingning nodded seriously.

"You're right."

"Last night your father talked about you, and Gu Tingye and others. Even the British Duke is willing to come forward for you."

"My mother also felt that it was necessary to re-examine the way I get along with you."

"That's what your father taught you."

The Duke on the side raised his eyebrows proudly.

She finally understands!

Qi Heng opened his mouth and asked.

"In this way, you won't intervene forcibly in the matter of me marrying the concubine daughter of the Sheng family?"

Never thought.

Princess Pingning shook her head resolutely, she looked at Qi Heng calmly.

"Do not."

"Mother feels more and more that the only daughter of the British public is your real match."

"Since you have decided on the path you want to take."

"With the help of the British government, you will be able to move forward and retreat with ease in the court in the future."

Qi Heng was speechless immediately.

Her logic... impeccable!

She deserves to be the middle school girl who supported the Qi family by herself.

He had a headache and said: "Why did you recognize the marriage and help?"

"When will you understand."

"In this world, no one can be trusted except ourselves!"

"We can only rely on ourselves!"

Princess Pingning's expression remained unchanged.

She said lightly: "Since you are married to that girl from the Zhang family, she is naturally one of your own family members, so what's unreliable?"

Qi Heng didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes. Doesn't she understand such a simple truth?

to be honest.

Why did you marry Sheng Minglan?

It's because he knows very well that no matter what troubles or difficulties he encounters in the future, Sheng Minglan will never abandon him.

Character matters.

As for others?

He doesn't understand.

There is no need to spend any more time trying to understand it.

"Forget it, it's not that easy to change her mind."

Qi Heng got up from the dinner table, turned and went out.

Princess Pingning frowned habitually. What's his attitude?

Fortunately, the Duke held her back and shook his head slightly.

Coincidentally.

Just as Qi Heng crossed the threshold, Steward Wang from the front yard came.

He bowed to Qi Heng respectfully.

"Son."

"Miss princess."

"Someone came from the palace just now. On Yuan's Day, the officials invited you and the young master to the palace for a banquet."

Qi Heng was stunned.

It's already the ninth day of the new year, and the first day has passed, and Zhao Zhen still uses this reason to see him?

He thought about it, and soon understood Zhao Zhen's painstaking efforts.

After all, he is going to take a scientific examination.

If he is called into the palace for nothing, it will inevitably make people think that he is a lucky minister, a favored minister, and a courtier who is promoted all the way by relying on the official family.

So in the name of a family banquet, no one can find a reason.

Although it was a bit of a cover-up... Zhao Zhen really had good intentions.

As for Princess Pingning.

Of course she was only delighted.

For her, it can only be a great honor to be summoned by officials from time to time.

……

in the afternoon.

Princess Pingning and Qi Heng arrived at the Ciyuan Hall in the Harem with ease.

Since it's a family banquet, of course you have to meet Empress Cao first.

Compared with the last time, when Empress Cao saw Qi Heng again, in addition to admiration, there were many complex meanings that could not be explained clearly.

I always feel that she is hesitant to speak.

Zhao Zhen is not here.

Qi Heng could only do the same as last time, stand behind his mother and listen to the gossip of the two wives...

period.

Maybe she finally found a chance, Empress Cao suddenly looked at Qi Heng and said with a smile, "Sister, how many people are really envious of you having such a son."

"I heard that your family, Yuan Ruo, also runs a rather large business?"

Princess Pingning glanced at Qi Heng proudly and reservedly.

"He has always been a disobedient one."

"I am messing around outside, and I seldom talk about it with me."

Empress Cao smiled politely.

"To tell you the truth, at noon, my eldest lady was also there."

"She heard that you were coming this afternoon, and asked me to ask—"

"Yuan Ruo, last time you said that the Cao family could also participate in your firm, now I heard that there is a chance?"

Qi Heng was not surprised.

How many dignitaries stared at Nineteen Firm eagerly, waiting for someone to leave.

They must have been watching the matter of Prince Yong's Mansion yesterday.

It's just that he didn't expect that now that he had offended King Yong Zhao Zongshi, the Cao family would still want to participate, which is very interesting.

He simply said: "Yes, I did."

"But tell the truth."

"That firm was an innocent one, and now I won't ask about it again."

"If Mrs. Cao still wants to join in, you might as well ask me, Second Uncle Gu."

"He has the final say on the business."

"Second Uncle Gu?"

Empress Cao frowned slightly.

Princess Pingning explained with a smile.

"It's Gu Erlang from Ningyuanhou's family."

"He is from my natal family. In terms of seniority, Yuan Ruo wants to call him the second uncle."

Empress Cao seemed to have just remembered.

She suddenly realized: "Oh, I know which one it is."
