Qi Ning still pretended to say: "Zhan Ying, are you telling the truth or not? The old guy didn't tell me when he came here? Are you kidding me?"
"Senior Wei is an expert outside the world. Do you think you can show off if you have something?" Ximen Zhanying said, "Just ask him next time you see him. Why should I tease you?"
Qi Ning laughed and said: "It seems that my master is really powerful. He turns out to be the leader of the Beggar Clan. Zhan Ying, according to the rules of the world, does it mean that when he retires, it will be my turn to be the leader of the gang?"
"I don't know about other sects, but the Beggar Gang is not that simple. Even if you are a disciple of Gang Leader Wei, if you don't have the skills, you won't be able to take the position of gang leader." Ximen Zhanying said seriously, and then looked up and down. Then he smiled charmingly: "Hey, do you really want to leave the Marquis and become the leader of the beggar?"
Qi Ning came slightly closer and whispered: "I, the Marquis, can't control a few people. I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Clan. If I become the leader of the Beggar Clan, I can control hundreds of thousands of people. That would be a lot of prestige." Well, Zhan Ying, if the old guy really passes on the position of gang leader to me, will you join the Beggar Clan with me?"
"Will I join a beggar gang with you?" Ximen Zhanying was stunned for a moment, then spat: "If you want to be a beggar, just do it yourself. I won't become a beggar."
"If I become the gang leader and the position of gang leader's wife is left to you, then you will be inferior to one person and above ten thousand people." Qining chuckled and said, "When the time comes, you will only be subordinate to me, and you will be very majestic."
"Go away." Ximen Zhanying said angrily: "Who wants to marry you? You... are wishful thinking."
Qining sighed and smiled bitterly: "I'm just taking advantage of words. Even if I really want to marry you, I'm afraid I won't be able to."
Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Qi Ning pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't you know that the Holy One has already prepared to grant you a marriage?"
"A marriage grant?" Ximen Zhanying looked confused, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that the Holy One would grant me a marriage? Where did you hear it?"
Qi Ning sighed: "It seems that you really don't know. Didn't the Goddess mention it to you? The Holy One said it to me personally. The Holy One said that Ximen has great achievements and you are the only daughter of the Gods. For Showing the emperor's grace, the Holy Emperor will assign you to a good family of a well-matched family."
Ximen Zhanying's pretty face changed color, she put her hand on the handle of her saber and sneered: "Qining, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for killing you. Others are afraid of you, Jin Yihou, but I'm not afraid."
"Aunt Ximen, can I make a joke about this kind of thing?" Qi Ning asked anxiously: "If you really don't believe it, you can go ask the god now, I'm afraid the god already knows. If this is nonsense, then I’m just making fun of the Emperor. The Emperor’s words are true. I dare to make fun of what the Emperor said. Do I want to lose my head?”
Ximen Zhanying saw Qin Ning's serious expression, her delicate body swayed slightly, and she was dumbfounded.
"Zhan Ying, don't you want to get married?" Qi Ning said deliberately: "The emperor grants marriage, which is a great gift. Many people can't ask for it. This shows the emperor's great kindness to your Ximen family. ah."
Ximen Zhanying lowered his head and bit his lip. After a moment, he asked: "Then... do you know who the emperor wants... to marry me to?"
Although Qi Ning usually spoke out of tune in front of her, Ximen Zhanying also knew that no matter how bold Qin Ning was, he really did not dare to make fun of the emperor, and knew that what Qi Ning should say this time was true.
She was completely unprepared. When she heard the news, her mind went blank for a moment.
"I really don't know about this." Qi Ning said: "But there are probably only two families, either the Ma family of the Zhenguo Company, the Huainan King's family, or the Jindao Tantai family. These families are all The Emperor will not treat your Ximen family badly, as you are a noble family in Chu State, so he will naturally marry you to these families."
"I won't marry." Upon hearing this, Ximen Zhanying reacted fiercely: "It doesn't matter whose family he is, I just won't marry."
Qi Ning was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be solemn and said: "Zhan Ying, actually... Hey, forget it, it's better not to say some things."
"What do you want to say?" Ximen Zhanying bit his lip and stared into Qining's eyes without evading: "What do you want to say? Hurry up and say it."
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then said softly: "Once the emperor proposes marriage and promises you to someone else, I can't talk to you like this in the future, or even... I can't even look at you anymore." He sniffed and said With a sad expression, he turned away and said, "There are some things I should have said to you long ago, but... it's too late to say them now."
Qi Ning's performance was lively. Seeing this, Ximen Zhanying felt sad. He lowered his head and said, "Actually... I actually have something to say to you."
"What do you want to say?" Qi Ning immediately turned around and said, "Zhan Ying, just say whatever you have to say. There is no one here now, so it doesn't matter what you say."
"Don't you have something to say?" Ximen Zhanying was a little nervous, "Speak first."
Qi Ning said: "Ladies first, you are a girl, I will let you go, you just have to say it first."
"I don't care if you leave other things to me." Ximen Zhanying was a little annoyed: "Are you still a man? If you want to say something, say it. If you don't say it, I will pull you down. I don't want to hear it yet."
Qi Ning shrugged and moved closer to Ximen Zhanying. Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but shrink back. Qining then whispered: "Zhan Ying, actually... In fact, the reason why I usually quarrel with you is because... It's because I really like you in my heart. Other girls don't want to make trouble for me, but every time I see you... Forget it, let me just say it. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. , thinking in my heart that it would be great if I could let you be my wife one day."
Although Ximen Zhanying had guessed a little, when Qi Ning said this, it still made her pretty face glow, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Then... then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I'm afraid you don't like me." Qining sighed deliberately: "Every time you see me, you are fierce. I... I'm afraid that I will be humiliated if I tell you."
"Who said I don't like you?" Ximen Zhanying suddenly raised his head and blurted out: "You are useless. You have never said anything. How can you let me, a girl, speak first?" As soon as he said this, it was like admitting that he also likes you in his heart. Qi Ning's face turned as bright as a peach blossom.
Qi Ning was elated when he heard what Ximen Zhanying said. Although he had already guessed what Ximen Zhanying was thinking, but when he heard the girl say it himself, he felt as if he had grown up with ginseng fruit. He smiled and said: "That's what I said. Come on, Zhan Ying also likes me in her heart? Then you... then why don't you give me a hint and let me know. "
"You... how do you want me to hint?" Ximen Zhanying has been hanging out with the men in the Shenhou Mansion since she was a child. She is a little less coquettish than an ordinary girl. An ordinary girl may not dare to admit it directly, but she is in love after all. The girl admitted it herself today, but she was still a little shy. She lowered her head and said: "You are so stupid, you don't know... you don't know my thoughts, and you still blame others."
Qi Ning patted his head: "Blame me, blame me, hey, if I were smarter and knew that Zhan Ying, you also liked me in your heart, I... I should have reported it directly to the emperor and asked him to marry you to me, then I This life will not be in vain."
Ximen Zhanying glared at Qining and said bitterly: "Then you... said you wouldn't marry me before."
"That's just a joke." Qi Ning said: "Zhan Ying, you are not only good-looking, but also in good shape. You are also a hero among women. If any man can marry you, it is because our ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight generations." At this time Looking at Ximen Zhanying's shy and pretty face, she smiled bitterly and said, "But it's too late for us to say this now. If...if only ten days and a half earlier, we had been honest with each other, maybe we wouldn't be where we are today."
Ximen Zhanying only felt her heart beating violently, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor has not yet designated whom to marry, and... it's not too late, you... you can figure it out yourself."
"Although we haven't determined which family it is yet, the two families of Sima Family and Huainan King have been confirmed." Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "The Jinyi Qi Family is not as glorious as before. Now let alone compare with these two families, it is even better. If I don't go to the Jindao Tantai family, even if I really go to the emperor now, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life."
Ximen Zhanying stamped her feet and said bitterly: "Then you want to watch me being accused of marriage and going to their house?"
"Of course I don't want to." Qi Ning said sternly: "When I think of you marrying someone else, my heart is cut like a knife. Zhan Ying, you don't understand how I feel now."
Ximen Zhanying said: "Your Jinyi Qi family is also one of the four great marquises. You are one of the emperor's close ministers. If... if you go and tell the emperor, how do you know that the emperor will not agree? Anyway... anyway, I will not marry into their family. .”
Qi Ning was happy in her heart, but she still said seriously: "Zhan Ying, if you put it this way, if the emperor really pointed you out to the Jinyi Qi family, would you be happy in your heart?"
Ximen Zhanying glared at Qining. Seeing Qining looking at her, she felt embarrassed. She turned around and turned her back to Qining, saying: "Anyway... I won't marry into their family anyway."
Qi Ning walked lightly behind Ximen Zhanying and whispered: "Zhanying, as long as you are really willing to marry me, even if the king of heaven stops me, I will definitely marry you into the Qi family."
Ximen Zhanying's heart trembled when she heard Qining's decisive tone. She didn't look back and just said: "Then... then you go and talk to the emperor."
At this moment, they heard the sound of footsteps. Ximen Zhanying turned around to see Qining and herself very close. He hurriedly distanced himself, turned around and looked over, only to see Qu Xiaocang leaving and returning, walking over quickly.
Qu Xiaocang looked solemn, walked over and bowed his hand to Qining first, then looked at Ximen Zhanying and said: "Little junior sister, I just got news about something related to you."
"Is it related to me?" Ximen Zhanying's beautiful big eyes blinked: "What's the matter?"
"There is news in the palace that the emperor is going to grant you a marriage." Qu Xiaocang said with a solemn expression.
Qi Ning was calm and composed, thinking that the little emperor was really anxious. Didn't he say that it would only be three days, and even if the marriage was granted, it would be tomorrow. Why was he so anxious
Ximen Zhanying had already received the news from Qining, but he didn't react too much, just said "oh".
Qu Xiaocang glanced at Qining and then said: "If the news is correct, the crown prince of Dong Qi, Duan Shao, has already begged the emperor to grant you a hand in marriage to Dong Qi!"
