Errong smiled and said: "What to do next, he also has something to do, let him do it."
Pengyue puffed her mouth and wanted to say more, but Ji Man said: "It's getting late, go to bed first."
The three of them slept together on the big bed, which was quite warm. Pengyue also felt that the two women got closer, but one looked too stupid and the other looked too smart, but their hearts were not bad.
Nie Qingyun still didn't return home the next day, but Ning Mingjie came to pick them up early in the morning. According to the imperial concubine's will, Ning Mingjie had to serve as a guard for two days before going out with the army.
"How about going to the market today?" Ning Mingjie said, "Just in time for the market."
"Okay." Pengyue slept well yesterday and was in high spirits. Ji Man is also okay, but Er Rong is not energetic, and his face is a little pale: "You guys go today, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ning Mingjie frowned, glanced at Errong and said, "Why are you so haggard?"
"It's okay." Er Rong smiled and waved to them: "Let's go first."
Ji Man got into the car with the two of them, and looked back, Er Rong had already been supported by Bai Zhi, and disappeared behind the wealthy family.
The market was really lively, but thinking that she didn't come home to the Hou Mansion yesterday and no one came to ask her, Ji Man didn't want to watch the fun, and wondered what Ning Yuxuan was thinking? There is also a weather forecast for this sudden change in the weather. This turn of events is faster than a book, and there must be a reason for it.
Ning Mingjie led them to get off at the intersection, Pengyue was excited when she saw the bustling crowd, and looked left and right while wearing her dingy robe.
After holding the gadgets in his hands, Pengyue finally couldn't move anymore. Ning Mingjie pointed casually: "Go and sit in the tea house."
Ji Man took a look at this tea house, which is a famous brand in the capital, and there must be many dignitaries in it.
Hold the moon and go up.
Ji Man sent a letter to the Third Prince last night, explaining the general situation. Ning Mingjie refused to marry the princess, the reason is unknown, so the princess must find someone to take over, right
The reply Zhao Jue gave was that as long as it wasn't from the First Prince's side, it would be fine.
There are many people in the court, Luoyan Pagoda has already gathered many young and promising officials from the court today, just waiting for Ji Man to lead the princess over for a grand blind date meeting.
But I didn't expect that I was cut off today.
As soon as I went to this teahouse, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. It was usually very lively tea customers, but today it was quiet. There was no one in the lobby, and the second floor was also empty.
"Guest officer, please come to the third floor." Xiao Er said affectionately.
Normally, in this kind of scene, Ji Man would feel that someone proposed marriage, but this is ancient times, how could anyone in ancient times be like this...
"Princess Holding the Moon." A voice interrupted Ji Man's thoughts.
In the corridor on the third floor, the second prince was sitting quietly in a wheelchair, with no expression on his face, and the silver robe embroidered with dark patterns on his body was a bit worn out.
Pengyue's face changed slightly, and she frowned at him. Ning Mingjie next to him stood in front of the princess, looked at the second prince and said, "Why are you here?"
The second prince Zhao Li pursed his lips and said, "I have something to say to the princess."
"I'm afraid the second prince is a bit impolite." Ning Mingjie looked back at Pengyue and said, "Princess, you should go first."
"He dares to say, what is there that I dare not listen to?" Pengyue snorted softly, walked out from behind Ning Mingjie, walked up to the second prince, and squinted at him slightly: "What do you want to say?"
"Princess, don't you mind talking in the side room?" Zhao Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
Pengyue looked at his legs, pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
"Princess." Ji Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this Pengyue a child? In such an obvious battle, the second prince will definitely talk about getting married, and she still wants to follow
"Don't worry." Pengyue raised the whip in his hand and said: "I know martial arts, what can he do to me if he is powerless?"
"Then Sang Yu and Master Ning are waiting next door." Ji Man glanced at Ning Mingjie and said, "Princess, if you have something to do, you can call me loudly."
Pengyue nodded, walked over, and kindly reached out to push the second prince's wheelchair into the wing.
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment.
Ji Man pushed open the door of the next room, looked at Ning Mingjie and said, "Master Biao, please."
Now that they have all stepped into this teahouse, she can't stop anything. It was just that the most unexpected thing was that it was Ning Mingjie who cut off the beard.
"Master Biao has other plans?"
After Prince Gong was given to the third prince, he remained silent. Ji Man thought it was because he had a good temper, so he only planned to fight.
As a result, I don't know when, he has already started to be the second prince's matchmaker? And the catch is really accurate. Knowing Pengyue's temperament, he decided to lure her to the bait in reverse. She didn't even notice it all the way.
No wonder he wanted to say that Luo Qi was pregnant to refuse her to take the red line, so he was waiting here. She thought it was because he had some knots in his heart that he hadn't solved. It's really... a classic case that women can never play with men.
"It's better for Madam to take good care of Lord Hou." Ning Mingjie sighed and said, "You don't have to worry too much."
Ji Man knocked on the table and said puzzledly: "Sang Yu just can't figure it out, why is it the second prince?"
Of the three princes of the right age today, the second prince is the least likely to gain power. Because of his disability, it is basically so small that it can be ignored. Why would Ning Mingjie abandon the third prince and choose him
Well, one of the reasons may be that the third prince slept with his new wife, but he can also choose the eldest prince.
"The second prince's heart is kind, and he is a wise master." Ning Mingjie smiled: "Besides, I think the princess might like the second prince."
No wonder, the promised princess likes generals? Zhao Lijian couldn't stand up, couldn't lift his hands, couldn't even stand up, how could Pengyue...
Ji Man bowed her head sullenly, unless they sparked the legendary love, otherwise, after such an analysis of pros and cons, Peng Yue would not choose the second prince.
Next door room.
Pengyue sized up the second prince for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Why do you think I will agree to you?"
Zhao Li said indifferently: "Because the conditions I gave you are the best."
He said, ask her to marry him, and he will try his best to take care of her for the rest of his life. If she feels dissatisfied, she can divorce him at any time. He will try to do everything she wants and give her the best.
It was simply the most groundbreaking condition a man of this age could ask.
Pengyue listened with great interest: "You need me very much?"
"Well, it is very necessary." Zhao Li pursed his lips: "If you don't want to agree, I won't force it. After all, women don't want to marry a cripple."
Pengyue giggled: "I have to think about it."
Zhao Li paused for a moment, looked up at her and said, "It's pretty good that the princess can think about it."
"I saw you on the school field that day, why did you turn around and leave?" Pengyue looked at him and asked.
She was still obsessed with this matter, although it was not a big deal, but last night, for some reason, she always dreamed of such a back figure sitting in a wheelchair, so lonely and helpless.
"Because I don't know what to say when I get close." Zhao Libie began: "You are the object that other princes want to fight for, but it's a pity that they all have concubines."
"You are the most suitable, right?" Pengyue lifted his chin with a whip on a whim.
Zhao Li frowned slightly, with some annoyance at being underestimated in his eyes: "Princess think about it slowly, we are one step ahead."
His temper is quite stubborn.
Peng Yue rested her chin and thought for a long time until Ji Man came in to pick her up.
"Does the princess still want to go to the Luoyan Pagoda in front?"
After recovering, she held the moon and pursed her lips and said, "Don't look at it, Sang Yu, let's go into the palace."
What are you doing in the palace? Ji Man was at a loss, but Peng Yue hurriedly dragged her into the palace. After greeting the empress and noble concubine, she went straight to Yinxue Palace.
Yinxue Palace is a cold palace, and it is also the place where the second prince's birth mother lived. During the conversation just now, Zhao Li occasionally mentioned it, and Pengyue couldn't help but look at it.
This cold palace is usually empty, but today there was an old maid weeding in the yard, and then kowtowed.
No need to think about it, then Pengyue went to ask the old maid about things. The old maid was Concubine Hui's personal servant girl. When asked by a strange woman, she even told the past about Concubine Hui and the second prince.
"Your Majesty was poisoned by others, so the Second Prince became lame." The old maid said with tears in her eyes, "The Emperor never came to see him. The Second Prince was brought up by Concubine Shu until he was seven years old. I went to the prince's mansion to live, that child, I don't know how much I have suffered..."
Hearing this, Pengyue sighed, squeezed the whip in his hand and said: "It's okay, I can protect him in the future."
The corner of Ji Man's mouth twitched: "How does the princess want to protect the second prince?"
"It's fine if you marry him." Pengyue said indifferently: "Anyway, I haven't met anyone particularly attractive here. Zhao Li is good-looking, and he can't go out to spend time and drink with bad legs. I'm not happy to push him away. When I was there, he could only look at me alone, how nice it is."
Ji Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the reason was too powerful.
If she married the second prince, then the eldest prince and the third prince would not have to fight. After all, Zhao Li had no competitiveness, and both parties would feel more at ease.
But Ji Man thought about Ning Mingjie's behavior today, and suddenly felt that the second prince is not that simple
After walking around with Pengyue for two days, she almost always met the prince. On the third day, Ning Mingjie was going to go to war, and Pengyue told the current emperor that she would marry the second prince if she didn't marry anyone else.
The civil and military officials of the whole court were stunned, and even the imperial concubine was shocked and persuaded: "Princess, don't be overthinking..."
Pengyue stood beside Zhao Li's wheelchair, swinging his whip with a bright smile on his face: "I just like him as my husband. From now on, whoever bullies him will bully me, and insulting him will insult me. If he can't leave, I will Push him away."
Everyone was speechless for a while, but Ji Man couldn't help applauding softly.
It is really not easy to see true love in this place.
