"Are you going to marry King Jing now?" Prince Qi Lie strode into the door, waved his hand, and the maids all retreated.
"Anyway, I won't marry a useless prince or an idle prince. He may become useless at any time. Although he looks noble, he is actually useless and can't help my second brother at all." Princess Qia raised her head with a look of pride. She has always been arrogant. She was just "gentle" on the surface before.
"You..." Prince Qi Lie pointed at her and sat down on the chair next to her angrily.
"Second brother, you don't want to come to the capital this time without getting anything. You don't really want to become a vassal of the Great Zhou, right?" Princess Qiya reminded her.
"Prince Jing may not want to marry you." Prince Qilie said with a gloomy face, "When you first came to the capital, if you had chosen Prince Jing directly, he would have treated you well, and we could have gained a lot of benefits from this marriage, but now... look at what is going on now. A woman's reputation is the most important thing."
"Reputation is the most important thing?" Princess Qia curled her lips in sarcasm, "When did Second Brother care about these things? So-called reputation is the most important thing, do I have to marry such a useless prince? Second Brother, do you want to see this?"
She just didn't believe that her second brother would be willing to see this.
Prince Qi Lie narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he did not want to see his sister marrying a man who was of no use to him. But now the news outside was not good, especially when he was negotiating with the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty just now. The way the officials of the Great Zhou implied this when he was negotiating just now made Prince Qi Lie very angry.
Although he was born in Northern Frontier and had agreed with what people in Northern Frontier said in the past, he did not take it seriously that a woman was rescued from the river, which was a loss of her reputation. But even if he did not take it seriously, this happened in the Great Zhou, and based on what his father had taught him in the past, he had to take this matter seriously at this time.
This is true for ordinary matters, not to mention that this involves national affairs.
How could Qiya just do whatever she wants
"If you are worried, how about asking King Jing to come and talk to you?" Princess Qia said confidently.
In fact, she would rather blame the King of England for this matter, but when she saw that there was a dagger, a bloody dagger, among the gifts sent by the King's Palace, Princess Qia had no idea at all.
Even if she wants to marry the King of England, she has to survive on her own.
In the palace, Pei Yuanjun was ruthless, and now he "accidentally" sent over a dagger. Although the eunuch who delivered the gift discovered this "mistake" with a fake smile, he said that his prince brought it back from the Western Prison and he accidentally put it there, but he didn't expect it to be put in the gift.
Princess Qiya was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She was a woman from the Northern Frontier, but that didn't mean she was necessarily brave. She had always enjoyed wealth and glory, so how could she have ever faced such a bloody scene
The dagger was covered in blood...
Prince Qilie and Princess Qiya both knew that this was a threat, but the threat came from the King of England, and they were powerless to do anything. Even if they protested to the Emperor, he would ignore them. Everyone knew that the Emperor trusted and favored the King of England.
As for the crown prince, Princess Qiya thought that this matter involved too many things, and Great Zhou would certainly not agree. Then only King Jing was left. King Wei was too sickly and was not someone Princess Qiya was willing to consider. Even if King Wei's legal wife was by her side, since King Wei was gone, what was the point of her being the legal wife? Who would care
The Prince of Yan is indeed in good health, but he is not the type that Princess Qia admires, and it is said that the Prince of Yan is not favored.
"Brother, if I don't choose King Jing, there will be no one else. Anyway, his princess consort is also wicked. It was clearly me who discussed this matter with her. If something happens to me, how can she be unscathed? She has caused me to be like this, and she must be responsible. I don't believe she dares to make a fuss."
Princess Qiya gritted her teeth and sneered, "She could have advised me at the beginning, but she said nothing and even did so much in secret. If she really disagrees, I will fight her to the death. At most, I will marry the King of Yan. I want to see if she can still sit on the position of the King of Jing's wife."
The more Princess Qiya thought about this matter, the more scared she became. The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. How much she liked Pei Yuanjun in the beginning, how much she was afraid of him now.
How could he dream of someone like Pei Yuanjun? No matter how beautiful a woman was, in his eyes, she was probably just a living person or a dead person...
After figuring out everything, there was only one thing left: Liu Lanxin did it on purpose, deliberately pushing her into such a situation, so she dragged her into it with her. It just so happened that she also fell in love with King Jing. King Jing was not the crown prince, so he was not that conspicuous, but he had infinite possibilities.
With the support of Northern Xinjiang, King Jing can go further.
Prince Qi Lie didn't say anything, his brows were still tightly furrowed. This matter was too unexpected. He was not aware of Princess Qiya's previous plan. He also felt extremely troubled about this sister.
"Prince Jing will care about a woman's reputation." Seeing that his sister was still very satisfied at this time and felt that she could control Prince Jing in the palm of her hand, Prince Qi Lie felt even more headache and could not help but remind her.
"So... please find a way to get King Jing to see me, and I can ask him to help you find my elder brother and elder sister. King Jing has been able to compete with the crown prince for so many years, which shows that he has a lot of people at his disposal. After all, your manpower is not very convenient. I also had some clues before, and it would be more convenient if I let King Jing come forward."
Although Qiya was arrogant, she knew what her second brother cared about, and gave a reason that Qilie could not refuse.
After hearing what she said, Prince Qi Lie sighed. Now that things have come to this point, the only thing he can do now is to gain more benefits for himself.
Standing up, he said, "I will find time to invite King Jing to come over. You'd better think clearly about what you want to say. You have to make King Jing satisfied with you. Otherwise, even if you enter King Jing's mansion, you will be of no use at that time."
It is hard to say how far a woman who is not favored can go in the end, even if she relies on herself in Beijiang.
His sister is going to enter Prince Jing's Mansion, which is actually what Prince Qilie least wants to see, but now thinking about it, it may not be a bad thing.
If something unexpected happens, I have to explain it to the other person, so that they won’t think that I planned it…
Prince Qi Lie had something else to do, so he gave a few more instructions before leaving with his men.
"Has Mr. Xiao come back?" He asked his guard as he walked out of the courtyard gate.
"He hasn't come back yet." The guard reported in a low voice.
"When he comes back, ask him to come to see me immediately." Prince Qi Lie said hurriedly. Many things in Da Zhou were different from what he imagined. This time he came not only to negotiate with Da Zhou, but also to make some other plans. That thing... He had been looking for it for so long, and he had to find it this time no matter what...
"Princess, will Princess Jing hate you?" Inside the house, a maid came in to serve and asked with concern.
"She hates me? I hate her. She plotted against me and the Princess of England. Does she really think that everyone is in her control?" Princess Qia suppressed the pride on her face. She had to be proud and act like this because she didn't want to marry that idle prince who was nothing.
If I had shown more panic just now, my second brother might really have stuck to his previous decision.
Reputation? She was not a woman from the Zhou Dynasty, so she did not care about such empty reputation. Of course, if this person was another useful man, she would also insist on this "reputation" and tie that man down.
"Princess, I feel that Princess Jing will definitely deal with you." The maid reminded.
Princess Qiya's face was as gloomy as water. After a long while, she said, "She has her own plan, and I have my own way. As long as she has been involved in this matter, she will not dare to refuse openly, nor will she dare to make too much trouble. At most, she will say a few words in front of King Jing. So what? If I please King Jing, King Jing will not say anything."
"Go check the affairs of Prince Jing. Are he and the Princess Jing really so loving?" Princess Qiya only paid attention to Prince Ying before and didn't pay much attention to Prince Jing. But now it is different. The one she wants to pay attention to is Prince Jing.
Liu Lanxin didn't dare to resist this matter face to face. As long as he said that he and her had a good chat and he was talking about King Jing, it meant that Liu Lanxin also agreed at that time, and she didn't dare to say no.
Their positions were originally destined to be not so harmonious, but since they are so harmonious, there must be a reasonable reason.
We can't say they framed the British princess together, that means they were just speculative...
In order to visit the crown prince of Northern Frontier, Prince Qilie gave Princess Qiya a few people to investigate. She didn't believe that there was no grudge between Prince Jing and Liu Lanxin...
Qu Moying didn't expect that the person who came up the mountain to see her was Liu Lanxin.
But after thinking about it carefully, I understood why she came here, so I invited her in. After the two of them exchanged greetings, they sat down as host and guest.
"The Princess of England looks much better now." Liu Lanxin looked Qu Moying up and down and said with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Qu Moying indeed looked much better now. The news that had spread before was too frightening. He was almost dying and could only lie in bed. Even outsiders were not allowed to visit him.
Although his face is pale and he looks listless now, at least he can get up and meet guests.
"I've used a lot of herbal medicines before, and also soaked in the hot springs. It's been so hot, and I've been sweating profusely every day." Qu Moying said, his eyes clear and natural.
It was such a hot day, and Liu Lanxin felt stuffy just thinking about soaking in the hot spring. Not to mention Qu Moying, even she might not be able to stand it. It was really Qu Moying's luck that she didn't faint or die from the hot spring.
After hearing about this incident, Liu Lanxin was in a good mood. She even ate half a bowl of rice, thinking that Qu Moying would definitely not survive this time. However, she did not expect that she could escape this situation.
She thought so in her heart, but she certainly didn't show it on her face. She wiped the corner of her lips gently with a handkerchief and said, "The Princess of England is also a lucky person. Now she has severed her relationship with the Qu family. No one will force you with such things in the future, let alone let such people come to your door."
Liu Lanxin said.
Qu Moying smiled slightly and nodded, but didn't respond.
Liu Lanxin certainly didn't come here just for this matter. It's been a while since the incident happened, and these words are just a preface...
The real purpose is not to drink...
