Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 27
Chu Ning tried his best to hold back his smile, leaned down again, and said, "I would like to report to the emperor, my servant is so bold that I wish to be with His Highness Rong Wang for the rest of my life."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

This is indeed bold enough!

Xie Ziyu's face was also full of surprise, subconsciously looking at the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was also looking at Xie Ziyu, seeing that his shock was not pretending, he calmed down a little, and asked Chu Ning, "I would like to hear, why did you choose King Rong?"

Chu Ning was silent for a while, and said cautiously: "I know that I am ugly, and it is difficult to make up for it, but I don't want my children in the future to suffer from the pain of my daughter. His Royal Highness is beautiful. If my daughter married For Your Highness, the child born will surely inherit His Highness's appearance, and will not be burdened by courtiers."

Everyone didn't expect Chuning's reason to be so solid, Ye Qingyan twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xie Ziyu with some sympathy.

Xie Ziyu frowned slightly, as if it was difficult to accept this fact.

Hearing this, the emperor let go of his wariness a little. He looked at Xie Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, you haven't accepted a concubine yet, and Miss Chu wants to marry you now, what do you mean?"

Xie Ziyu looked at Chuning and then at the emperor, his face was a little ugly.

"Ziyu, what do you say? Are you willing to marry the third lady?" Seeing that Xie Ziyu was silent, the emperor urged.

Xie Ziyu hesitated to speak, he seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he held back, he stood up and knelt down directly: "Since my father has agreed to Miss Chu, if my son refuses this matter, it will be It is unrighteous to trap the father and the emperor, so I am willing to marry Miss Chu as his wife."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone did not expect that Xie Ziyu, who had never been close to women, would agree to this marriage. It was not that the emperor had never looked for candidates for him before, but he declined them all. However, today the emperor did agree to Chu Ning first. Xie Ziyu This move didn't seem like he really wanted to marry Chuning, but rather like trying to please the emperor.

However, Xie Ziyu's marriage to Chu Ning is tantamount to having the support of General Chu. How can the emperor be happy?
The emperor's expression was the same, he only squinted his eyes, and studied Xie Ziyu's expression carefully. He looked at Chu Ning again, and seeing her flattered expression, he almost cried with joy. He waved his hand and said: "I have a golden word, since King Rong has no objection to this matter, then I will marry King Rong and Miss Chu today, and the Ministry of Rites will choose a good day and auspicious day for the two, and choose a date to get married."

As soon as the emperor said this, although he didn't show it on his face, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Yan's face was pale, and she didn't know that the wine glass fell to the ground, she just murmured: "How... how..."

General Chu and Mrs. Chu were also shocked. General Chu looked at Xie Ziyu, then at Chu Ning, with a complex look in his eyes.

The banquet continued, and the courtiers toasted General Chu one after another: "Congratulations, General, for having such a wonderful son-in-law."

As for Xie Ziyu's side, there was no movement. Everyone saw Xie Ziyu's expression that no strangers should enter, and they knew that he must be extremely upset inside, so naturally they didn't dare to join in the fun.

Chu Ning lowered his head and ate with peace of mind.

"You can still eat!" Chu Yan gritted her teeth and shouted.

Chu Ning looked up at her, and smiled slightly: "Little sister found a good husband today, isn't second sister happy for me?"

"Good! Very good!" Chu Yan's eyes could almost burst into flames. She never expected that Chu Ning would disrupt the situation today. If Chu Ning hadn't forced the emperor to make decisions for her, how could Prince Rong agree to marry her?

Chu Yan got up quickly and walked out, and Mrs. Chu quickly followed after seeing this.

Chu Ning sat still and waited until the banquet was over before returning to the residence with General Chu.

The two sat in the carriage, and the carriage was filled with silent embarrassment. General Chu coughed twice, and said, "Ning'er, do you like His Highness Rong Wang?"

"Of course I like it." Chu Ning smiled slightly, looking at General Chu.

"As long as you like it..." General Chu relaxed his dignified expression a little after hearing this, paused, and said, "He, if he treats you badly, dad will make the decision for you."

Chu Ning was startled, and couldn't help asking: "Second sister also wants to marry Rong Wang, why didn't daddy persuade me to give it up?"

"Nonsense! Marriage is a big deal, how can it be a joke?" General Chu scolded lightly, and said with a straight face, "Yan'er has Yan'er's marriage. Since Rong Wang agreed to your marriage today, it can only be your marriage."

After hearing this, Chuning couldn't help being a little moved, but when he returned home today, he might be in a state of restlessness.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Ning returned to the mansion, Chu Yan shouted: "Come on, tie her up for me!"

Before waiting for the servants and maidservants to come forward, General Chu immediately reprimanded: "Everyone back down! Yan'er, don't mess around!"

"Father! Concubine Li Gui has long promised to marry King Rong for me today, but it was ruined by Chu Ning!" Chu Yan stomped her feet and said bitterly.

General Chu frowned when he heard this, and shouted: "Who told you this? Concubine Li told you personally?"

Chu Yan pursed her lips: "Although she didn't say it clearly, that's what she meant!"

"Stupid!" General Chu became furious when he heard this, "You can guess what the imperial concubine and empress want? If this word is spread, who can bear it?"

"Master, Yan'er was wronged today, how can you blame her like this?" Mrs. Chu couldn't help defending General Chu when she saw that General Chu had been scolding Chu Yan.

Hearing what they were talking about, Chuning suddenly felt uninterested, so he simply ignored everyone and prepared to go back to Lanxiang Garden.

"Don't go! Stop!" Chu Yan suddenly rushed towards her, her long fingernails were about to fall on her face, she frowned, and turned her body slightly, Chu Yan rushed forward empty, fell directly to the ground.

"Second sister is crazy if she wants to get married, and my younger sister doesn't mind talking about marriage for second sister." Chu Ning stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on Chu Yan, and said calmly.

Under the cold moonlight, she stood nonchalantly, her majesty was fully revealed where her eyes were slightly raised.

At that moment, both General Chu and Mrs. Chu were startled. Is that Chu Ning?Her demeanor is noble and cold, as if she doesn't care, but in fact she is inviolable.

How could it be Chuning?In the palace today, she is clearly still weak and cowardly.

Or, that's her original appearance, just like when she was kicked out of the general's mansion that day, she was unrestrained and unrestrained, coming and going without any worries.

Madam Chu's heart sank little by little.

"You! What qualifications do you have to marry Rong Wang? You're just an ugly monster! What are you doing?" Chu Yan fell a little hard and couldn't get up for a while, she could only curse bitterly.

"Probably...he loves me." Chu Ning smiled faintly, stopped looking at her, turned and left.

On the second day, Chu Ning received an invitation from the Jin Palace. Xie Lingshuang held a flower viewing banquet, and invited ladies from famous families to enjoy tea and flowers together.

Looking at the invitation card, Chuning silently twitched the corners of her lips. Just after a Hongmen banquet, another one?
However, it is still necessary to go, it is rare to be able to demonstrate as Chuning, why not do it?
"Miss Chu, this way please." Chu Ning came to the Prince Jin's mansion step by step, and soon a servant welcomed her in.

It was still the same garden as before, all the daughters had already been seated, and they were discussing something enthusiastically. As soon as they saw Chu Ning, someone immediately said in a strange way: "Hey, I heard that Miss Chu was not favored when she was a child. , if that's the case, how could it be so uneducated and make the Princess wait?"

Chuning smiled slightly and said, "It's my fault, don't blame everyone."

The man didn't expect that Chuning would not be angry. He had planned to reprimand him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Yan sat beside Xie Lingshuang, looked at Chu Ning coldly, and did not speak.

"Third Miss, sit down." Xie Lingshuang raised her head and glanced at Chu Ning, and said calmly.

After Chu Ning sat down, a maidservant brought a pot of tea. After pouring a cup, she handed it to Chuning. Looking at the maidservant, seeing her trembling palms, she smiled slightly: "Be careful, the tea is so hot. It’s fine if it hurts me, but if it hurts you, it’s my fault.”

The maidservant's face changed slightly, and she didn't dare to shake her hands any more, and handed the cup of tea to Chuning steadily.

"Miss San, you will be my sister-in-law in the future, how about I call you Aning?" Xie Lingshuang looked at Chuning with a smile on his lips.

"But it's up to the princess to like it." Chu Ning smiled lightly.

"The woman that brother Ziyu likes must be good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder what Aning is best at? Everyone present is very curious, how about showing it to us?" Xie Lingshuang blinked and asked.

"I really don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you want to see the performance, you may wish to find my second sister. The second sister is talented and talented, and she will be able to show everyone well." Chu Ning kicked the ball to Chu Yan.

"I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why do you still have the cheek to ask to marry His Royal Highness Rong Wang in public? Isn't this His Royal Highness ruining his reputation by marrying you?" Someone mocked.

Chu Ning looked over and saw that it was the person who made things difficult for her just now, but seeing that person was handsome, she was the daughter of Qin Yushi, but there was jealousy in her eyes, she smiled slightly: "Miss Qin is fighting for His Highness's injustice. ?”

"Exactly, Your Highness is a dragon among men, and he is quite different from you. If you have self-knowledge, you should retreat in spite of difficulties."

"I don't know what capacity Ms. Qin uses to defend His Highness? Could it be that Ms. Qin has unreasonable thoughts about my future husband?" Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked.

Miss Qin's face suddenly changed: "You, don't talk nonsense, I just, just..."

"Just what? Miss Qin is not His Highness, so how do you know His Highness is not happy?"

"How could Your Highness be so happy?" Miss Qin's eyes widened.

"Yes or no, you might as well ask His Highness directly." Chu Ning lifted his chin slightly, motioning Miss Qin to turn her head to look, only to see Xie Lingran, Xie Ziyu, Ye Qingyan and others walking in from outside.

"Your Highness." Chu Yan stood up first, looked at Xie Ziyu and called softly, her eyes seemed to be full of spring water, full of affection, and she was about to speak.

Chu Ning sat by himself, drinking the tea in the cup leisurely, his eyes fell on Xie Ziyu, with a faint smile.

"If we had known that Prince Jin's Mansion was so lively, we would have come here earlier." Ye Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said.

"It's not too late to come now..." Xie Lingshuang stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Ziyu, we are chatting with the future sister-in-law of the emperor. I wanted to admire her talent, but the wife of the emperor refuses to show her talent."

"Oh?" Xie Ziyu listened, her eyes fell on Chuning, and then she smiled slightly, "It's not that she doesn't want to show her talent, maybe she has no talent at all?"

As soon as these words came out, all the daughters lowered their heads and chuckled lightly.

Chuning also smiled: "Your Highness really understands me."

"Miss Chu San just said that she was not ashamed, saying that His Highness agreed to marry her, it was a sweet treat!" Seeing this, Miss Qin said hastily.

"Yes, Miss San also said that we should ask His Highness directly." Someone echoed.

"Brother Ziyu, what do you say?" Xie Lingshuang also urged.

"Me?" Xie Ziyu lifted her lips and looked at Chuning. She was drinking tea as if no one else was there. She looked at him with a slight tease in her eyes. He smiled meaningfully, "Naturally, I am happy of."

As soon as Xie Ziyu finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed, especially Chu Yan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and her body was almost crumbling.

She never expected that she would hear this word from his mouth. How could he be so happy with Chuning?How could this be?

Xie Lingshuang's expression was a little stiff, and then he smiled, looked at Chuning, and said, "Brother Ziyu is right, the emperor's sister-in-law was bestowed with the marriage by the emperor himself, so of course brother Ziyu is willing."

After saying this, the complexions of all the daughters softened a little, and they all thought that His Highness Rong Wang must have said such words against his will for the emperor's sake!

Chuning could naturally guess what they were thinking, so he just smiled silently.

"Today we are going to ride a horse. I wonder if ladies are interested in joining us?" Xie Lingran glanced at Xie Ziyu and changed the subject with a smile.

"Of course I'm interested." Xie Lingshuang replied.

"Then let's go, let the servants prepare more harnesses." Xie Lingran ordered.

A group of people left Jinwang Mansion one after another. Several carriages had already parked outside the mansion. They belonged to Xie Ziyu, Ye Qingyan and others. Huo Heng sat in the carriage and beckoned all the daughters to sit in his carriage, but he greeted them profusely. For a long time, no one went up, but Xie Lingran and Ye Qingyan's carriage was full of people.

Some people came here by carriage, and the rest only had sedan chairs, but the sedan chair was obviously not as fast as the carriage, and would soon fall behind, so Chu Yan and the others all looked at Xie Ziyu's carriage.

But Xie Ziyu had already sat in the carriage, and he didn't even intend to invite other people to sit over, so everyone didn't dare to say anything for a while.

And Chuning, who was ignored by all the daughters, lazily leaned on the stone lion at the door, watching the scene with great interest.

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands lifted the curtain of the car, but seeing Xie Ziyu leaning out and looking at Chuning, a pleasant voice rang out slowly: "Aren't you coming?"

Chu Ning glanced at the pale-faced Chu Yan, and mourned for her for a moment, then slowly walked towards Xie Ziyu.

She walked to the carriage, saw Xie Ziyu stretching out his hand towards her, she was not polite, grabbed his hand directly, and got into the carriage.

The curtain of the car was lowered in an instant, covering the eyes of jealousy or resentment outside the car.

Xie Lingshuang arranged another carriage, and a group of people headed for the racecourse outside the city in a mighty manner.
