Chapter 174 Eat melon and eat it on your own head
"bluestone!"
"Here, what are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Qingshi, who was guarding the door, hurried in. Xiao Lingche rubbed his brows and asked
"What's going on with Prince Rui?"
"Your Highness, our people have found out that Prince Rui has contacted Prince Xining, but Prince Xining claims that when Princess Xining comes to Dongling and who she will marry depends on her opinion."
Xiao Lingche frowned. Could it be that Princess Xining was not dead? Otherwise, the King of Xining would definitely send an envoy to Dongling to discuss other peace treaties. But he didn't come for so long, and only said that the princess was sick. Could it be true?
So Lin Ruoyue’s previous attempt was actually unsuccessful!
If Prince Rui really marries Princess Xining as he wishes, wouldn't they, mother and son, be even more powerful?
No, he couldn't let them succeed.
Although he had never seen his biological mother, and the emperor forbade anyone in the palace to mention her, he had lived in the palace since he was a child, and he could more or less hear some traces of his mother.
If the emperor had not put pressure on Concubine Rong, and if she hadn't had any problems with the fetus in her belly, she would have been removed from her position as Concubine, and she would have been able to give birth to him smoothly.
But even so, the suffering his mother endured at the hands of Concubine Rong was far beyond his imagination.
His mother did not enjoy the treatment of a concubine because she was pregnant with a dragon seed. Instead, she was bullied by Concubine Rong and was treated worse than an ordinary palace maid.
All of this, in addition to Concubine Rong's bullying and the emperor's inaction of turning a blind eye,
If it weren't for his own hard work and achievements today, perhaps his father would have almost forgotten that he had such a son.
When Xiao Lingche thought of this, he became furious.
"Has the prince been doing anything recently?"
"Your Highness, I heard from the Crown Prince that he has been actively treating his leg disease recently, and it has been quite effective. In fact, even..."
Qingshi hesitant
Before, they didn't pay attention to the prince because he was not often in the palace, but recently he has been staying in the palace for a long time, so the prince sent him to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the prince's leg disease has improved, and he can even stand up.
"Even what, hurry up and tell me"
Xiao Lingche said unhappily
“I can even stand up.”
"What? Seriously?"
Xiao Lingche slammed the table and stared at Qingshi with cold eyes. Qingshi felt a chill on his back and quickly said
"I dare not deceive the prince."
It seems to be true. No wonder he has been staying in the palace recently, and the queen who has always been leisurely and elegant has also returned to her post and is in charge of the six palaces.
It turns out there were already signs
If this is true, then his chances of winning are even less. If he wants to stand out from the other princes, he must not only rely on himself, but also rely on external forces and have a strong backstage to support him.
Although he has accumulated some connections in the court, everyone knows that people tend to move to higher positions, and they are only moving closer to him because he is in power now.
He was not worried about the lustful fool Prince Rui, and he believed that Princess Xining would not fall in love with him either.
What actually worries him the most is the crown prince. He always feels that someone is fanning the flames with the recent unusual events in the court. However, the crown prince's leg disease made him ignore this idea. But now that he can stand up, everything makes sense. His father has indeed allowed him to participate in politics!
He rubbed his brows with a headache. At this moment, Shen Qingqing's words floated in his ears again.
He thought for a moment and realized that perhaps he could indeed use the power of the Regent to gain the upper hand.
If we say that human nature is selfish, how could he be willing to lose to the prince who had done nothing for him after years of hard battles?
He put the love poem he wrote that morning into an envelope and handed it to Qingshi.
"Send this letter to Ye Mansion"
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Qingshi picked up the envelope and prepared to leave
"Wait a minute"
Xiao Lingye called him
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"It's better for me to go in person. I have something to say to her."
He felt that he had to tell Shen Qingqing in person about pretending to marry her, because he had promised her that he would only marry her in this life, but now the situation was forced, and he hoped that she could understand him and not be angry.
When he gets everything, he will confess to her. At that time, he hopes to join hands with her and share this prosperous world.
After thinking it over, Xiao Lingche stood up, took the envelope, and went straight to Ye Mansion.
But he was stopped by Ye Shaobai.
"Brother Ye, I have something important to tell Qingge, please get out of the way!"
Ye Shaobai doesn't buy his tricks at all
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will tell Qingge that she doesn't want to see you these two days."
Xiao Lingche looked at Ye Shaobai, who was a man of his word, and it was not easy to force his way in. He handed him the letter.
"Please pass it to her for me."
Anyway, the wedding is in three days, so she should calm down.
Ye Shaobai took the letter and said bluntly
"Your Majesty can leave now."
Xiao Lingche looked eagerly at the door, but did not see Qingge's shadow.
Forget it, he turned and left, hoping that she would feel happier after reading the letter.
Watching Xiao Lingche walk away, Ye Shaobai took the letter to go find his sister.
"Here, this is for you."
"what is this?"
Ye Qingge took the letter handed to her by her brother
“You’ll know if you open it and take a look.”
Ye Qingge opened the letter and read it. It turned out to be a love poem signed by Xiao Lingche.
"Has the prince been here just now?"
“Yeah, but I stopped you.”
Ye Shaobai stretched his head to look at the letter in his sister's hand
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect King Xuan would do this kind of thing"
Ye Qingge smiled slightly. She didn't expect that the straight man prince would write a love poem to her.
In the past few days, her anger has mostly subsided, and this love poem can be considered a little comfort to her.
Let's just forgive him this time. If there is a next time, she will never look back.
Ye Shaobai looked at his sister, and knew from her smiling face that she had forgiven Prince Xuan.
Is his sister too naive? He was afraid that she would be sold but he didn't know it.
She is really a flower raised in the royal family since she was young, and she has no idea of the dangers of the world outside.
But the wedding date was approaching, and he couldn't say anything. No matter what, even if she got married, he, as her brother, would not let her suffer any grievances.
"Qingge, there are some things you just need to figure out on your own. After all, I'm an outsider and can only give you some advice. But you have to remember, you can never wrong anyone but yourself, okay?"
"Yeah, I understand, brother."
"Your brother and I have to go back to the barracks. I haven't been there for a few days. I don't know how chaotic it is."
"Okay, I'm sorry, brother, go ahead."
Ye Shaobai nodded and turned to go to the military camp
Ye Qingge walked back and forth in the room with the letter, reading it as he walked. It was obvious that the love poem was copied, but it was better than him doing nothing.
She has been depressed for a few days. It's time to adjust herself. Otherwise, if she gets married in this state, she will despise herself.
The day before her wedding, Ye Qingge was going to take Qingxia on a shopping spree.
She always worries about missing something.
The two of them went out with a few servants. After a few steps, they saw a team coming towards them. It looked very festive.
"Someone is having a wedding, right?"
Ye Qingge said
"Miss, look, the carriage in that team seems to belong to Prince Xuan's Mansion."
Ye Qingge took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case. The small flag on the carriage had the word "Xuan" written on it.
The carts of gifts looked like betrothal gifts. Seeing them passing by, Ye Qingge had a bad feeling. She signaled Qingxia to go forward and ask
Qingxia pulled the people in the team to ask what was going on, and then came back with a frown on her face.
Ye Qingge looked at her, waiting for her to speak
Qingxia said sadly
"Miss, they are indeed from Prince Xuan's Palace, but the betrothal gifts were sent to the Prince Regent's Palace."
"what?"
Ye Qingge was hit by a stick
Send her to the Prince Regent's Palace? So, Xiao Lingche wants to marry Shen Qingqing! Qingxia supported Ye Qingge who was unsteady in time.
"Miss, what should I do?"
Qingxia couldn't help crying. Miss is going to marry Prince Xuan tomorrow. What does it mean now?
Ye Qingge smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that the melon would fall on her head!
She pushed Qingxia away and ran back to the house.
"Miss, Miss, please wait for me."
Qingxia ran after her, worried that something might happen to her.
When Ye Qingge came out again, she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand!
She walked towards Prince Xuan's mansion with great momentum.
