Chu Fei went to the palace first.
He went straight to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and when the maids outside finished reporting, he rushed in hurriedly. Inside, the Empress was talking to the Empress Dowager. When Chu Fei entered, he could still hear the two laughing. .
"King An is here?" The Queen said in surprise, "King An has not been here for a long time."
Chu Fei sat down and said, "My son went to Qingzhou a few days ago, and I didn't have time to tell the mother and the emperor's sister-in-law, which made the mother and the emperor's sister-in-law worry."
"What is King An going to do in Qingzhou?" The queen glanced at the palace maid, and soon a palace maid served tea. "A few days ago, the prince had something to look for with Prince An, but he didn't want to go to the mansion, only to find out that Prince An was not there and went out of the way."
Chu Fei was vague: "It's just a whim, I'm just going out to play."
The queen didn't ask any further questions.
The queen mother asked, "What is the reason why you came to see this palace specially today?"
"Empress mother, my son came to see you today because I have a big happy event to tell you." Chu Fei said cheerfully, "I already have a favorite girl, and I have to trouble my mother to prepare this happy event for my son. "
Hearing this, the queen mother and the queen looked at each other, and Qi Qi said in surprise, "Are you finally willing to say it?"
Earlier, when Chu Fei entered the palace, he had already told the Empress Dowager and Empress that it was a girl who had a heart for him, but he was very vague in his words. Listening to what he meant, that girl didn't seem to be good. It was only later that there was no text, and the queen mother was a little disappointed.
Now that I hear it, is it done
The empress dowager's thoughts turned, and she thought about all the girls with bad reputation in the capital, and then asked with a smile, "Who is the girl you're talking about?"
Chu Fei said, "It's the eldest girl from the Ning Mansion."
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and the smile immediately condensed on the corner of her mouth.
"But Lord Ning's daughter?"
Chu Fei nodded: "Exactly."
The daughter of Lord Ning, but Master Huizhen himself said that it is the life of the rich and noble, and the limelight is flourishing in the capital, where is there anything wrong
She was silent for a moment, the smile on her face disappeared, and she was quickly replaced by doubts: "Before Ben Gong wanted to assign Miss Ning to the fifth prince, but you said that you have a friend who is happy, Miss Ning, and stopped Ben Gong. , don't let this palace betrothed her to the fifth prince, why now... now you have become your favorite?"
Chu Fei said embarrassedly: "It's my son's fault, my son likes it, it has always been Miss Ning, but Miss Ning didn't agree, so my son was embarrassed to come and tell his mother and the emperor's sister-in-law, now that Miss Ning has agreed. Erchen, Erchen immediately came to look for the mother."
The Queen Mother was silent for a while.
The person Chu Fei said was too different from what she had imagined, so that she didn't know what to say for a while, and even her face was a little ugly. The queen knew what she was thinking and could not help but glance at her cautiously.
Chu Fei just pretended that he didn't see anything, and said: "Before my son came, I had already seen the days. It just so happened that tomorrow is a good time."
"What?" The Queen Mother responded subconsciously, "What is the best time?"
"Naturally it's a good time to propose marriage!" Chu Fei said happily, "My son has already made up his mind, he will go to Ning's house to propose a marriage first, without the use of his mother, and then wait for Lord Ning and Madam Ning to nod, and then send someone over after the mother. It is."
"..."
Without giving the empress dowager time to react, Chu Fei quickly stood up and said, "If the empress mother has no opinion, then do as the son-in-law said? By the way, the empress mother, you can't be stingy when you give your daughter-in-law a greeting. ."
The queen mother responded with a cold expression, unable to see the joy and anger. Only the Queen knew what was in her heart, looking at her uncertain face, and then looking at the back of Wang An Xingchong leaving, as if she didn't know anything. The queen looked at the empress dowager nervously: "the empress dowager..."
The queen mother snorted coldly.
"That girl from the Ning family, Master Huizhen said it himself, it's good..." The queen said softly, "King An wants to marry a girl from the Ning family, you see..."
The empress dowager said coldly: "In this world, it is not Master Huizhen's decision to make whoever is rich and noble."
The queen kept her voice low, and answered with a low eyebrow, daring not to say more.
…
The second day.
Prince An's mansion spent an entire night in urgent preparations, and finally everything was ready. Early in the morning, the servants of Prince An's mansion were beaming with joy. They prepared all kinds of boxes and cages early, and the butler hurriedly called a team of people. , After Chu Fei rode on the leading horse, he beat gongs and drums all the way from An Wang's mansion to Ning's house.
Not long after Ning Yanting got up, he finished taking a shower. He was having breakfast with his family in the dining room. While talking and laughing, a servant suddenly stumbled in and said in a panic, "Master! Master! It's not good. It's gone!"
Ning Yanting was taken aback and asked, "What happened?"
"King An... His Royal Highness is outside!" The servant said, "His Royal Highness An has led troops to surround the entire Ning Mansion!"
Ning Yanting: "..."
Jiang Yunlan and Ning Nuan looked at each other, also wondering.
Ning Yanting couldn't sit still for a while, and hurriedly got up and went to the door to check. Jiang Yunlan was also very worried in her heart. She put down her chopsticks and chased after him. Before she left, she told Ning Nuan, "A Nuan, stay in the room and don't come out."
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan put down his chopsticks after they both went out, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Well, why did King An bring troops to surround their house
Ning Nuan suddenly remembered what Xiang Tao said yesterday, her heart clucked, and she suddenly thought: Did Wang An misunderstand something
Ning Nuan couldn't sit still, and regardless of what Jiang Yunlan had warned before, she secretly followed.
At the door, Ning Yanting rushed to the door. Sure enough, he saw a lot of soldiers from Prince An's mansion surrounding the entrance of Ning's mansion, and the person riding a horse in the center was not Prince An
As soon as he saw him come out, Chu Fei immediately turned over and got off the horse. He walked over quickly, and the servant behind him hurriedly followed with gifts. Several people stood in front of Ning Yanting, and before Ning Yanting could speak, Chu Fei excitedly said, "Master Ning, I am here to propose marriage."
Ning Yanting: "..."
"His Royal Highness Prince An brought troops to surround my Ning family, but now he keeps saying that he wants to propose marriage?" Ning Yanting said sullenly, "If His Royal Highness Prince An wants to propose marriage, instead of inviting a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, it is Bringing a bunch of soldiers, is it possible that they want to force marriage? If this is the case, Ning would like to ask the emperor, is there no king's law at the foot of this capital?"
"Master Ning has misunderstood." Chu Fei said quickly, "I came to propose a marriage, but Miss Ning personally agreed."
"You are talking nonsense!" Jiang Yunlan stood up and said angrily, "You don't want to slander A Nuan's reputation, how could A Nuan agree to such a thing!"
Chu Fei was aggrieved: "Yesterday, Miss Ning clearly told me."
Yesterday was the day they came back from Qingzhou. The two carriages separated at the gate of Ning Mansion. Jiang Yunlan knew even more that with her watching, Ning Nuan would not be able to speak to him.
She said angrily: "You don't want to ruin our A Nuan's reputation here. If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for letting people drive you out."
Chu Fei had no choice but to shut up.
Ning Yanting suppressed his anger and said, "It's really inappropriate for the lord to play such a joke with us. Please also ask the lord to take people away earlier, or else don't blame me for reporting this to the emperor, and let the emperor give justice to our Ning family."
Chu Fei had been looking forward to this matter for a long time in his heart. He woke up before dawn and came very early. He had a flamboyant temper and came beating gongs and drums all the way, which also attracted the attention of many people. Fortunately, the Ning family lived here. The place is not very lively, but in the end it also attracted a lot of people.
If these people look at him, and he comes to propose a marriage, but is driven away, won't his face be lost
He has lost his face many times, and if he loses it, he will lose it, but he still has to figure it out.
Yesterday, it was clear that A Nuan had instructed him to come, so why did he turn his face today
Chu Fei didn't want to leave, nor did he stay. He just felt at a loss.
At this moment, Xiang Tao hurried out from the inside and whispered something in Jiang Yunlan's ear. She glanced at Chu Fei again with a strange expression. After Jiang Yunlan heard what she said, she was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Chu Fei strangely, and then whispered something in Ning Yanting's ear.
After Ning Yanting listened, he coughed, his face was not very good-looking, but his tone was not as angry as before, he just said: "Please ask His Royal Highness An Wang to let these people go back."
Chu Fei was taken aback: "What about me?"
"Please, His Royal Highness Prince An... Come in with the subordinate." After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the mansion with a sullen face.
Chu Fei caught up subconsciously, and hurriedly reacted. He turned around and waved to the people he brought, telling them to leave quickly. He snatched things away from Wang Quan and others, and hurried in. When he entered the Ning Mansion, the corners of his mouth were wide open, and he was very excited.
As soon as Jiang Yunlan saw Ning Nuan, she hurriedly pulled her aside and asked anxiously, "A Nuan, then King An said that you nodded and agreed, so he came to propose marriage, this... What's going on? "
"Mother." Ning Nuan patted her soothingly: "I think His Royal Highness An has misunderstood something. Just wait for me and His Highness to explain it clearly."
Seeing that she really didn't mean it that way, Jiang Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved: "I really scared my mother to death, my mother almost thought that you really agreed..."
Ning Nuan patted her hand and said nothing.
Chu Fei happily carried the gift into the hall, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted cheerfully, "Miss Ning."
Ning Nuan nodded at him before sitting down. Chu Fei put the gift aside and sat down as well, but did not look away from her for a while.
Ning Yanting sat down in the main seat, coughed, and said, "What happened?"
Chu Fei immediately looked at Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan said in a low voice, "Father, it was I who first told His Royal Highness Prince An that he should not forget to promise his daughter."
Ning Yanting looked at Chu Fei again: "You... what do you say?"
Chu Fei immediately said, "I promised Miss Ning to marry her as a princess!"
Ning Yanting looked at Ning Nuan again.
Ning Nuan said helplessly, "What I said was that His Royal Highness Prince An said before that he wouldn't hide anything from me. No matter what I wanted to ask, he would tell me." She always wanted to know what her family was hiding from her, and asked My mother didn't want to talk about it. The more they didn't talk about it, the more curious and worried she became. It happened that King An took the initiative to apologize and said that he would tell her the cause and effect, so she thought to secretly make peace. Wang understands.
Qingzhou walked all the way for many days, during which she never had a chance to talk to King An. Before parting, she specially asked Xiangtao to remind King An that she thought she would receive a letter from King An today that wrote everything about it. , Who knows, before the letter came, he waited for King An who came to propose marriage.
Ning Nuan didn't expect that his words would make An Wang misunderstand so deeply.
Chu Fei: "..."
Chu Fei: "This..."
He sneaked a glance at the gift he brought, not knowing what to say for a moment...
He thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's better to be wrong, it's better to choose a day, it's better to hit the sun, and I also come to the door to propose marriage, Sir Ning, why don't you think about it and marry Miss Ning to me?"
"..." Ning Yanting was furious: "You want to be beautiful!"
Chu Fei suddenly fainted.
Depressed, he remembered something, raised his eyes secretly, and glanced at Ning Nuan, but it happened to meet Ning Nuan's gaze. Chu Fei would smile at her ingratiatingly, and cheered up again, trying to reason: "Lord Ning, look, the news of this king's coming over today has been seen by many people on the road. Everyone must have known about it, and everyone knows that I came to your house to propose marriage, even if you don't marry Miss Ning to me, Miss Ning will..."
Ning Yanting interrupted him angrily: "Who is this because of?! If you hadn't been so public, who would have known about this? With your troubles, her reputation is probably worse than before, how should she marry a good family in the future!"
Chu Fei said: Why do you want to marry someone else? Would you like to marry him
It's just that he made the trouble. He knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to say anything. Hearing Ning Yanting's accusation, he responded quickly, and didn't dare to refute a word.
After Ning Yanting finished the code, he said again: "But I have already reported this to the queen mother..."
Everyone from the Ning family: "…"
"You... you..." Ning Yanting pointed at him, furious: "You're just like back then..."
Chu Fei lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Ning Nuan said: "In the beginning?"
Ning Yanting suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at her, and did not dare to speak any more for a while. After his momentum dissipated, he looked at Jiang Yunlan hesitantly, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Yunlan sighed and said, "Your father said, like in a dream."
Ning Nuan nodded and said nothing.
"But now people in the whole capital know that I'm going to propose a marriage. No matter whether it is successful or not, Miss Ning's reputation will be bad." Chu Fei said, "Even if you invite Master Huizhen again, you can search all over the place. There is no one more suitable than me in the capital."
Ning Yanting: "..."
Chu Fei said proudly: "If I was born, I am the younger brother of today's sage, and other princes will call me uncle. If you are talented, if Ning is suspicious, you can go to Qingshan Academy and Bailu Academy and ask the two deans. I boast, but those students in the academy are not necessarily comparable to me. Lord Ning has been in contact with me a lot, and he understands who I am when I think about it, I…”
Before he could finish his words, Ning Yanting interrupted him coldly: "You told me the same way before."
Chu Fei: "..."
Ning Nuan asked, "His Royal Highness Prince An said this before?"
Jiang Yunlan explained: "I said it in a dream."
Chu Fei struggled: "Father-in-law, listen to my explanation..."
"Shut up, don't have a relationship with me!" Ning Yanting said angrily: "I was deceived by you once before, and now I will not be deceived by you again!"
Ning Nuan: "When did Daddy get deceived by An Wang?"
Jiang Yunlan: "In a dream."
Chu Fei added: "Lord Ning, there were many misunderstandings before. If you want to hear it, I can explain it to you clearly. Although I owe A Nuan, I still treat her with sincerity. I promise you that I will definitely treat her in the future. It's better than before, and I will never wrong her again."
Ning Nuan reminded in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Prince An, please also pay attention to etiquette."
Chu Fei changed his mind and said, "I also asked Miss Ning, and Miss Ning also replied to me personally, saying that she has no regrets."
Ning Yanting originally wanted to scold him again, but when he heard what he said, he stopped abruptly. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Ning Nuan. His eyes were full of shock. He couldn't believe what Chu Fei said. real.
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she remembered the reply to King An in the letter that day.
She thought to herself: That dream is really strange. Not only did her family have the same dream as An Wang, but they also believed in this dream, as if it had really happened. It was really weird.
Ning Nuan nodded and said, "If daddy is talking about your dreams, my daughter did tell An Wang, and I don't regret it."
Ning Yanting was shocked.
On the day Jiang Yunlan came back from Qingzhou, he told him A Nuan's explanation. Knowing that A Nuan personally said that he didn't hate them, he was also shocked and hugged and cried with his wife. He was already moved, but who knew that Ah Nuan didn't even regret marrying King An
He couldn't help but gave Ning Nuan a deep look, but was speechless.
He couldn't help thinking in his heart: Is this really A Nuan's idea
An Wang asked? An Wang did not hide anything? Will everything be said
Why doesn't Ah Nuan regret it
After A Nuan married into the palace, things were not good. He heard about it from his wife. Every time his wife came back from the palace and talked to him, she was very worried. Wang said several times, and Wang An always promised him good things, but after that, nothing changed. Later, when he heard rumors outside that King An was romantic, he was even more disappointed, and he never went to King An again. Later, when something happened to the Ning family, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.
All he knew was that although A Nuan was given an imperial decree to marry Prince An, he later fell in love with Prince An, and later, he never asked A Nuan personally whether A Nuan had any regrets.
Thinking back carefully, when his wife talked to him, it seemed that he had never mentioned it.
It's just that he kept thinking that when Ah Nuan was wronged in the palace, he would definitely regret being treated like that by King An.
Did he really think wrong
Or is there a secret that he didn't know in his last life
Ning Yanting felt at a loss.
He looked at Ning Nuan, Ning Nuan's face was calm, and he met his gaze, but there was no reluctance at all. Although he knew that this A Nuan had never experienced anything, and he didn't know what happened in his previous life, he also met A Nuan's eyes now, but it was as if he had traveled through time and space and had seen his daughter in his previous life with his own eyes.
Ning Yanting couldn't help but ask again: "A Nuan, do you really regret it?"
Ning Nuan looked at him strangely: "Dad, I said it, I don't regret it."
"..."
Ning Yanting took a deep breath, and after a while, he let it out again.
He looked at his wife, who looked at him with equal concern.
Ning Yanting asked, "Let's not talk about the original matter for the time being. I just have something to ask about today's matter."
The others couldn't help but sit upright.
Ning Yanting looked at Chu Fei: "Do you really want to ask to marry Ah Nuan, and promise me that you won't let her suffer any more grievances?"
Chu Fei nodded quickly: "Seriously! Lord Ning, don't worry, I won't let A Nuan be wronged in the future, I will definitely let her live a happy life."
"Langer told me earlier that you wanted to..." Ning Yanting saw the matter vaguely and asked, "Do you take it seriously?"
"nature."
"If something goes wrong..."
"It will definitely not affect the Ning family." Chu Fei assured: "Ning Lang and I have promised that if something happens, the Ning family will be cleaned up. It's just that if Lord Ning wants to stand with me, You should also be careful in everything, and don’t follow other people’s ways.”
"Of course I know this."
Ning Yanting frowned.
About more things in the previous life, when Chu Fei drew Ning Lang together, he told Ning Lang everything, and when Ning Lang came back, he told them without a word. They all knew what Ning Lang was doing with King An, and he even nodded his head in agreement.
When he thought that Ah Nuan's death in his last life was not an accident, he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Ning Yanting sighed deeply, he suddenly turned to Ning Nuan and asked, "A Nuan, Dad asked you, what do you think?"
Ning Nuan was wondering what they were talking about, guessing what they were hiding from her, and was suddenly asked a question. She didn't respond for a while, she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "What?"
"Dad asks your opinion, Prince An is here to propose marriage..." Ning Yanting pointed at Prince An: "What do you think?"
Ning Nuan was stunned, and looked at King An subconsciously, only to see Chu Fei looking at him with bright eyes, his eyes were full of anticipation, and there seemed to be another tail up behind him, wagging happily.
Ning Nuan hesitated: "Dad, you... ask me?"
"Father knows, you have always had an idea in your heart." Ning Yanting sighed: "Father just asks your opinion, if you are willing to marry Prince An, then father is also right, if you don't, then father will immediately rush He goes out. No matter what your reputation becomes, Dad can always find a suitable family for you."
Ning Nuan stared at him with wide eyes, speechless for a moment.
Only the light in Chu Fei's eyes was bright, and he looked at Ning Nuan eagerly, wishing to help her down immediately.
Ning Nuan turned her head and met his gaze again, feeling apprehensive again.
She was silent for a long time, even though the waves in Chu Fei's heart were surging, she also lowered her eyes and did not move.
I don't know how long it took before I heard her reply softly: "Dad... Then you agree."
