Wen Qiao looked at the man on the couch.
He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in brocade and jade robes, with a dignified bearing, and a good-looking face, like a crown jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he smiled before saying a word, and looked like a kind and gentle good man, which made people feel at a glance Good impression.
This is a man with royal bearing and unparalleled handsomeness.
Although Wen Qiao seldom goes out, she has heard of the Seventh Prince of Dongling Kingdom. It is said that he is a rare handsome man in the Ning family of the royal family. Although he cannot cultivate, he has an excellent bearing and is deeply favored by Emperor Chenghao. Maybe there will be another genius martial artist.
The Seventh Prince Ning Yuzhou stood up from the long couch, and said softly, "Miss Wen, we met for the first time at Xia Ning Yuzhou."
Wen Qiao returned the gift, drooping her eyes to get rid of the thoughts in her eyes, and said softly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
The Seventh Prince's warm starry eyes slid across her pale face, and his voice was even gentler, "You don't have to be polite, Miss Wen, please sit down."
There were not many people in the wing room, except for a guard whose cultivation base was not clear, there was also a young man who looked like a servant in the palace. The ignorant Lianyue took it out.
In an instant, only Wen Qiao and the Seventh Prince were left in the huge wing room.
Ning Yuzhou handed her the misty tea on the table, and said softly, "This is the spiritual tea fried by Dendrobium dendrobii, Miss Wen, try it."
Wen Qiao took a sip, the tea was clear, lukewarm in the mouth, with a slightly bitter taste, and then the taste buds returned to sweetness, and the body that was originally cold due to insufficient qi and blood became warmer, and the subtle spirit energy swam in the meridians, Soothe exhausted and fragile meridians.
This is spiritual tea.
And it's a good-looking spiritual tea.
Wen Qiao couldn't help raising her eyes to look at the man opposite, but saw his bright and clean eyes staring at him, his handsome face was slightly smiling, gentle and elegant like a spring breeze, brushing Liu Shao's head, it made people relax unconsciously atrium.
Ning Yuzhou said suddenly: "I heard that you are not in good health and can only eat the things of the Yuanling."
Wen Qiao said indifferently: "The Yuan Ling of Dongling Kingdom is thin, and there are very few things that can carry Yuan Lingqi. Ordinary ingredients and medicines are also acceptable." It will hurt all the time, but she is used to it.
Hearing her words, Ning Yuzhou had a distressed look on his face.
"There will be me in the future." Ning Yuzhou looked at her with pity.
Wen Qiao felt a little strange in her heart, she felt that her fiancé was weird, she put down the teacup in her hand, and said seriously: "Your Highness Seventh Prince, there is something I don't understand, can you please tell me?"
Ning Yuzhou's smiling eyes slightly bent, chuckled lightly, and said, "Miss Wen wants to ask about the marriage offer?"
Wen Qiao hummed.
Ning Yuzhou poured her another cup of tea, stared at her after drinking it, and then said: "Actually, this marriage was arranged by Wen Boqing."
Wen Qiao's calm face finally became a little more surprised. She thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that it would be decided by her deceased parents.
"When the monsters rioted back then, Wen Boqing happened to save my life. Before he died, he made an agreement with my father that when you were old enough, I would ask my father to marry us."
Although there were only a few words, Wen Qiao quickly grasped the key points.
Her father happened to save the Seventh Prince's life during the monster riot. Emperor Cheng Hao compensated the Seventh Prince to her in return for his kindness. In view of the fact that both her parents died and she was weak and sick, she meant to protect her. Binding her to the royal family was the best way.
I can't blame her for these years. Although Wen's family has no elders, no one dared to bully her. Apart from deducting some daily necessities and medicines, they didn't treat her badly. Most of the legacy of parents is sent to other territories of the Wen family, so that they can live a lifetime of wealth.
As for why there was no rumor of a marriage contract these years, it was probably because she was afraid that she would die before she grew up. Of course, there may be Emperor Cheng Hao's selfishness in this, he is unwilling to let his favorite young son marry a sick girl, and this girl will not live long, taking the position of wife for nothing, how can a father be happy
It's better to just pretend that you don't know and cover in secret.
But within a few breaths, Wen Qiao thought about the cause and effect and the considerations of all parties, and looked a little relaxed.
Ning Yuzhou's eyes never left her face, and he continued: "Since you are old enough, you should fulfill the marriage contract, so I will ask Father to give us a marriage." After a pause, he asked apologetically, "Miss Wen, I don't know about this marriage, what do you think?"
Wen Qiao turned her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't have any opinion."
These days, thanks to his blessing, Jishuiyuan has gained a lot of benefits, and its status in Wen's family has also been elevated invisibly. Wen Qiao thinks this marriage is quite good - Lian Yue can't wait to confess the Seventh Prince.
Ning Yuzhou showed a little surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect her reaction to be so flat.
His fiancée seems to be very different from those girls outside.
Then I heard Qiao say: "Actually, you are at a disadvantage. You should have heard that the pharmacists concluded that I would not live past twenty. I'm afraid I will drag you down by then."
Although the Seventh Prince cannot practice, but with the supply of all kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures from the Ning family of the royal family, it is easy to prolong the lifespan of ordinary people. Compared with her who can't live to be twenty no matter how much heavenly material and earthly treasures are piled up, the Seventh Prince is indeed at a disadvantage.
Ning Yuzhou was startled, and said seriously: "I won't let you die!"
Wen Qiao looked at him again, noncommittal.
Ning Yuzhou only said it once, and didn't dwell on it any more. He quickly changed the subject and asked about the wedding date.
Although cultivators generally marry late and have children late, if you choose a dual-cultivation couple, it is natural that the higher the level of each other's cultivation, the better, and dual-cultivation is also more effective. But one of them is a mortal who can't cultivate, and the other is weak and sick and can't live to be twenty. Naturally, they follow the customs of the world, and the sooner they get married, the better.
Wen Qiao understood what he meant, knew the reason for this marriage, and listened to what the Seventh Prince said, so she naturally did not object.
In the final analysis, this marriage has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it is just a kind of shelter.
Ning Yuzhou asked: "What do you think, how will it be in a month?"
Wen Qiao: "... Is it too rushed?"
"No." The Seventh Prince said calmly, "In one and a half months, Lintai Hunting Valley will open. This is a grand event held every three years in Dongling Kingdom. At that time, the Tianjiao of Dongling will gather. Don't you want to participate?"
Wen Qiao was startled again by the prince, "Me?"
Ning Yuzhou nodded, there was no hint of a joke on that gentle and handsome face.
Wen Qiao looked at him for a while, and reminded: "Your Highness Seventh Prince, you should know that my cultivation is only at the middle stage of entering the Yuan realm."
Entering the Yuan Realm is equivalent to stepping into the practice of martial arts, and any low-level monster can be crushed. With this level of cultivation, going to Lintai to hunt valleys is simply a gift. Wen Qiao is not a very ambitious person, she never wanted to die if she could live.
"I know, I will arrange it." Ning Yuzhou stared at her with smiling eyes, "Do you want to go?"
Of course I want to!
Even though she has a frail body, she also has a heart of martial arts.
As a cultivator, who doesn't yearn for the supreme realm, become a strong man who can turn clouds and rain with his hands, break away from the shackles of the body, achieve the endless road, and ascend to the upper realm.
Although she didn't say anything, Ning Yuzhou had already seen her thoughts.
There was pity in his eyes again, and his voice became softer, as if he was afraid that a louder voice would scare her, "Miss Wen, don't worry about your safety, since I dare to take you there, I will make arrangements, you just need to maintain your body and practice. "
Wen Qiao looked at him in surprise, wondering where he, a mortal, made such a big tone, could it be given by Emperor Cheng Hao
Before she could figure it out, Ning Yuzhou started talking about their marriage again.
Although Wen Qiao is not a stupid person, but she lived in a corner of Wen's family since she was a child, and she didn't have much contact with her brothers and sisters. Following his words, they began to discuss marriage matters.
When Wen Qiao came to her senses, she saw that he had even arranged the dowry gift. He only needed to wait for her to nod, and the dowry gift would be delivered tomorrow.
Wen Qiao: "..." I always feel that something is wrong.
