088 “Rebirth of the Grand Favor (H, 1v1)” Chapter 87
byChapter 85: Asking for Marriage
The next day, Qiqi also got up early, and still let her maid wash up and put on a set of luxurious but unobtrusive clothes. She was going to accompany Su’s mother to the palace for the banquet.
Now, like the previous dynasty, the situation in the harem is very unclear.The holy family of Concubine Chen in the harem is prosperous, and Concubine Chen is the biological mother of Prince Rong.In addition, there were rumors a few days ago that the queen was reprimanded by the emperor in the royal study, and that the prince was sequestered in the East Palace by His Majesty that day, causing speculation in the court.I thought to myself, could it be that the one who competes with the prince for the throne is Prince Xuan, who is getting favored day by day, and Prince Rong, who is more noble than his mother?
Qi Qi didn’t know any of this. Compared to her previous life, these things didn’t happen.Mother Su knew that Qiqi didn’t like such an occasion, so she just asked Qiqi if she wanted to go into the palace and have a look.
If Qi Qi didn’t want to, she would lie and say that she was still ill. After all, their Su family’s daughter was precious and they didn’t need to cling to those powerful and wealthy people.
Qiqi thanked her parents for their good intentions, but she also had to consider her parents. After all, her parents and brothers had already declined such invitations on her behalf many times.She was afraid that if she kept pushing back, her family would be criticized or get into disharmony with others.
So Qiqi took a car into the palace with Su’s mother early in the morning.Coincidentally, Qiqi met her mother and her friends, Mrs. Cui and Cui Yanran, at the palace gate.The two of them just had a hurried look at each other without saying a word, and then the carriages entered the palace one after another.
Arriving at the Imperial Garden where the banquet was held, Qiqi followed Su’s mother to visit Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen was well-maintained, and she was a beauty. She had been treated well over the years, and it was difficult to see the traces on her face. She was still a beauty with picturesque features and a temperament like orchid.
When Concubine Chen saw Qiqi, she said that Qiqi looked exactly like Su’s mother when she was young. She looked really beautiful and had a good temper.Qiqi and Su’s mother only thought it was a pleasantries, until Concubine Chen asked again: “I heard that when Miss Su was living abroad, she accidentally entered Prince Xuan’s palace and became Prince Xuan’s personal maid?”
This is the truth and there is nothing to hide it. Although Qi Qi does not know Concubine Chen.Intentionally or unintentionally, it was just Concubine Chen’s son, Prince Rong. Zhong Ming and Shen Chonghua had been friends since childhood, and later assisted Zhong Hua in ascending to the throne of God. Qiqi was just greeting Concubine Chen, without any malice, and just nodded softly and said yes.
Later, Su’s mother was probably afraid that Qi Qi would be embarrassed and knew that Qi Qi was not suitable for such an occasion, so she asked her to go aside to find her good sister Cui Yanran.
Compared to Qiqi, Cui Yanran looked a little anxious.Seeing Cui Yanran like this, Qiqi hurriedly asked her: “Yanran, what’s wrong with you?”
“I…I just met Prince Rong…” Cui Yanran blushed and kept holding the leaves of the tree next to her.
“Prince Rong?” Is Prince Rong also here for this banquet?
“Well…” Cui Yanran’s face turned redder, she turned her head away, and whispered: “It’s not just Prince Rong, but also Prince Xuan…” It’s so heavy to say that.
Prince Xuan, so Zhonghua is here too.Seeing Cui Yanran hesitate to speak, Qiqi asked her again: “Then…has Prince Rong talked to you?”
Based on Qiqi’s understanding of Cui Yanran, Cui Yanran’s face would not be as red as it is now if they just bumped into her.As expected, she heard Cui Yanran say: “I told you…Prince Rong, Prince Rong…he, he told me…he wanted to marry me as his wife…”
“Ah?” Even Qiqi was surprised when he heard this: “What, what did he say? Did he really say that?”
“Hmm… Oops, I don’t know why he said that, just… um…” Cui Yanran whispered: “It must be because he drowned yesterday and was rescued by him. After all, the honor of my daughter’s family is important…”
Maybe this incident was really a clue, but a day had passed and a night had passed. Even today in the imperial garden, Qiqi didn’t hear anyone pointing fingers at him and Yanran.In other words, these things, except for a few people involved, were not spread among outsiders.
Cui Yanran said: “Actually, although what happened yesterday was very embarrassing, I know that Prince Rong also wanted to save me. If he didn’t save me, maybe I would die. I am very grateful to him! But…but…”
Qiqi understood and asked Cui Yanran: “But he told you that he wanted to marry you, and your heart was confused.”
Cui Yanran nodded: “My heart is very messy right now…I am happy, anxious, and a little bit shy and sad.”
“Why are you sad?” Qiqi asked her.
“Well… I actually… fell in love with Prince Rong at first sight yesterday, not to mention that he is a royal nobleman, a young talent, and majestic. I… if my future husband is such a man, I will definitely be happy in my heart!” She paused: “I am just afraid, afraid that he will marry me for my reputation…”
Qiqi understood: “Then did you ask him?”
Cui Yanran said: “I, I was too embarrassed to speak, and… I felt embarrassed again, so… I ran here!”
In Qiqi’s impression, Prince Rong and Zhong Ming should be a good person.So she said to Cui Yanran: “I don’t know much about this kind of thing. I’m not you, so I can’t fully understand your feelings. But I think Prince Rong is a good person. Can you try to make it clear to him? You are a good girl. Maybe Prince Rong also fell in love with you at first sight?”
Qiqi hopes that the two of them can sit down and have a good talk. From the bottom of her heart, Qiqi hopes that Prince Rong will also like Cui Yanran, because then Prince Rong and Cui Yanran will be together.Qi Qi is not worried that her good sister will marry Prince Jin and die in a foreign country in the future.
“By the way…” Cui Yanran asked Qiqi: “Don’t just worry about me. What about you? Prince Xuan also saved you. Have you met him? Did he tell you that he will be responsible for you and marry you?”
Does Zhonghua want to marry her?Qiqi couldn’t help but laugh coldly at herself.Cui Yanran also said to herself: “It’s impossible, he will not marry me.”
