But then, he heard three decisive words.
"No!"
Shangguan Qi scratched his ears and looked at He Xi in disbelief, "Miss San, did you not hear my question clearly just now?"
He Xi laughed slowly.
Although her facial features were unremarkable, when she smiled, her phoenix eyes suddenly became brighter than the stars, clearer than crystal, yet with a chill as ice.
He Xi said nonchalantly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so young, but I didn't expect that his hearing is not good. I said, I don't want to marry you as a concubine, did you hear me clearly this time?"
"You!!" Shangguan Qi's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Everyone else in the room was so shocked that their mouths opened wide and they were speechless for a long time.
Shangguan Qi suppressed the surging anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Nalan Hexi, you are just a concubine of the Nalan Mansion. I am the Crown Prince of Jinling Kingdom and the future emperor. Am I not worthy of you?"
He Xi laughed, but said nothing.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not hear the mockery in the "hehe" and thought she had some difficulties. He coughed lightly and slowed down his attitude, "Miss Third, if you have any unspeakable secrets and dare not agree to my promise, you can also tell me. As the Crown Prince, can't I make the decision for you?"
As he spoke, Shangguan Qi glanced at Nalan Zhengze and Nalan Feixue with a hidden gaze.
"Is it a secret that you can't tell?" He Xi said nonchalantly, "I'd rather be a beggar's wife than an emperor's concubine... Well, does this count?"
As soon as He Xi said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Shangguan Qi looked at her with contempt and disgust.
So that's how it is. It turns out that this woman rejected me because she looked down on the position of concubine and wanted to become the real Crown Princess.
With her ugly appearance and useless physique, wouldn't it be a disgrace for her to become a crown princess
Giving her the position of concubine is already the greatest gift.
This woman is still not satisfied. Her ambition is too big!
Others couldn't help but look at He Xi with ridicule. A useless concubine's daughter actually had such ambitions. She wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at if she told others about it.
When Nalan Ziyun saw the prince's ugly face, his heart was filled with a sense of gloating.
That fool Nalan Hexi thought she could earn a good future by playing hard to get, but she didn't even consider her own capabilities. Now she has offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Let's see how she ends up!
He Xi seemed to be unaware of the strange atmosphere in the room, and just smiled and said, "Since the marriage proposal has been rejected, there is nothing else, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Shangguan Qi shouted angrily from behind: "Stop right there!"
He Xi paused slightly, but did not turn around. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked towards the direction of the gate.
Suddenly, the door was slowly opened by a servant, and someone shouted excitedly, "Master, Madam, Miss... Miss is back!"
The next moment, a woman wearing a goose yellow embroidered shirt and a white gauze dress slowly walked into the hall.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, tall with delicate features. Her jet-black hair was combed up high, revealing her smooth forehead and sharp, cold eyebrows.
She exudes a cold and distant aura, but it does not hinder her stunning beauty. (To be continued)
