Chapter 206 Dare to Disobey the Order
After Ziwei left, the Fifth Prince looked at Cailian helplessly: "Okay, Xiaoer will report to the gods, but you can't tell my mother."
Hearing this, Cai Lian smiled slightly, and then acted coquettishly with a hint of grievance.
"Sir, Cailian is yours, so naturally she hopes for your well-being. Didn't she help cover for you when you went out before? But this time it was really terrifying, and Cailian is worried about you. The palace is the safest place."
Thinking about how Cailian had spoken well of him when Concubine Yu did not allow him to leave the palace, and even helped him leave the palace without telling Concubine Yu, Yongqi also knew that Cailian was really doing this for his own good.
Forget it, Yongqi smiled dotingly: "Okay, I will stay in the palace quietly for the next few days and not let you worry."
Cailian smiled brightly upon hearing this: "Cailian knows it, sir, you are the best."
Seeing Cai Lian so happy, Yongqi felt a slight satisfaction in his heart. Inexplicably, he didn't want to make the person in front of him worry and cry.
Cai Lian liked to call him "Master Yongqi" in private, as if they could both go back to the time when they were on the southern tour.
Perhaps sometimes even Yongqi himself didn't realize that Cai Lian already had a place in his heart.
Yes, they are together day and night, and Cai Lian is so gentle, considerate, and charming. How can the Fifth Prince, who has not seen many women, resist her?
Early the next morning, Yongheng was injured and was unable to go with Yongqi to pick up Guanbao's family.
However, in order to show his respect for Guan Bao, the Fifth Prince specially put on his bright red auspicious suit. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Once he put on this suit, he looked more handsome.
Although Guanbao came to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, the emperor still decided to have lunch together.
As for why, it was because of Yongqi and Xinrong’s marriage.
A few days ago, several elders discussed it, and the Empress Dowager suggested that Xinrong be betrothed to Yongqi. One reason was that Xinrong was old enough, and if she was sent away with Xinrong, it would delay the girl's marriage. It would be better to marry Xinrong and let her stay with the Empress Dowager until she gets married.
Both of them are men of marriageable age in Beijing. The better ones are already married, and the worse ones are not worthy of Xinrong. After choosing and choosing, Yongqi is the most suitable one. In addition, Concubine Yu keeps talking about finding a wife for Yongqi, which is just right.
When this proposal was made, Concubine Yu was quite satisfied. The daughter of the Censor was a perfect match for her Yongqi. The Emperor had no objection and would make the decision after asking Guan Bao for his opinion.
Soon, the Fifth Prince arrived with Guanbao's family. Jingyan looked precisely at the girl who followed at the end with a calm face and dignified manners. Xinrong is finally here.
The few of them greeted each other, and the old lady spoke very intimately to Xinrong, expressing her great love for him.
Concubine Yu was even more enthusiastic after chatting with Guanbao Fu Jin and Xinrong.
The Fifth Prince didn't know that he was about to be married off. Seeing his mother's attitude, he guessed that she was interested in Xinrong, but it was a little too enthusiastic.
Originally, Concubine Yu didn't need to be there, so Guanbao and Fujin immediately understood the royal family's intention and secretly glanced at Yongqi a few times.
He is a handsome man. Among the princes who have grown up today, only the Fifth Prince is quite outstanding. Perhaps there is no one more suitable for Xinrong than him.
In short, Guanbao and Fujin were satisfied.
Seeing Concubine Yu was so impatient, the old lady was afraid that she would offend Xinrong, so she said, "You three should accompany Xinrong for a walk. Let's talk about the adults."
After the four younger generations left, the old lady came straight to the point: "Xinrong is a child I have watched grow up under my care. Now he is of marriageable age. I wonder if you, Guanbao, have found someone you like?"
Guan Bao bowed and said, "Not yet. I have the audacity to ask the old Buddha to recommend a suitable candidate."
Everyone present was intelligent and understood Guanbao's intentions. The old Buddha smiled and asked, "You've just seen him. Is Yongqi okay?"
Concubine Yu's face was as bright as a flower with a smile, and Guanbao and Fujin also expressed their gratitude.
The emperor was also very satisfied, but he also thought that he should ask the children's opinions on this matter. "I wonder what the two children think?"
Concubine Yu waved her hands repeatedly: "Yongqi is happy, otherwise he wouldn't be dressed so smartly to meet the Censor today."
Yongqi, who was just afraid of being accused of disrespecting the Censor, said: "..."
Thinking of the Fifth Prince's attitude, which was indeed very enthusiastic, Guan Bao smiled and nodded: "Xinrong's child is entirely up to us as parents to decide."
So, without either of them knowing, the two people who met for the first time were engaged.
At that time, the four of them were still staring at each other in the Imperial Garden.
The Fifth Prince was a little embarrassed. He had a good feeling towards Xinrong and Qing'er, but Jingyan was too domineering and he didn't like her.
How can I find an excuse to slip away?
Qing'er and Jingyan were also racking their brains to figure out how to get Yongqi to leave. There are three girls here, so you, a man, should stay away.
As a result, before they could come up with any solution, someone came to look for them and said that Guanbao was leaving and said goodbye to Xinrong.
Before Xinrong came, he knew that he would be kept with the old lady, so he was not surprised. He said goodbye to the three people and left.
Seeing Xinrong leave, the Fifth Prince felt that his mission for the day was complete. He didn't want to stay any longer and turned around and ran away.
Jingyan and Qing'er continued chatting.
"Finally left. This Fifth Prince really doesn't know how annoying he is."
Qing Er chuckled, "He should know. I think he was on pins and needles just now."
Is he feeling bad? "That's great. I'll torture him again next time I get the chance."
"Don't," Qing'er waved her hands repeatedly. This kind of thing that kills 800 enemies and loses 1,000 of our own is not something we can do. "We were in a bad mood just now, so we should stay out of the group."
"What a pain!"
Yongheng suddenly appeared, startling the two of them: "Why are you here?"
Jing Yan looked up and saw Fu Ling'an. His expression changed instantly and he rushed towards him with a smile: "You are finally done."
Seeing their attitudes before and after, Yongheng grabbed Jing Yan who was about to pounce on Fu Lingan and said, "What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other in broad daylight!"
Jingyan looked sinisterly at his brother who was holding his fate in his hands. If a glare could kill, Yongheng would have died a thousand times.
Fu Lingan strode forward and rescued Jingyan from Yongheng's grasp, "You really deserve to be punished."
"Look at Fu Ling'an, she hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already threatening her future brother-in-law!"
Jing Yan bared his teeth and threatened: "If you continue to be sarcastic, don't blame me for killing my relatives for the sake of justice."
Seeing that Jingyan was about to jump in anger, Qing'er silently pulled Yongheng back.
Jing Yan ignored him and looked at Fu Lingan: "I thought you would be too busy to show up these days."
Fu Lingan chuckled: "Thank you, father-in-law. He is so busy now that he is nowhere to be seen."
Hearing that his father was busy, Jingyan chuckled.
Yongheng said, "We just went to the Cining Palace and heard that the Emperor had granted a marriage to the Fifth Prince and Princess Xinrong. Did you know that?"
Jingyan guessed it, but didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Uncle Huang doesn't know about Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi?"
After a few people thought about it, it seemed that they really didn't know.
It’s interesting. I wonder if Yongqi dares to disobey the order.
Should I openly disobey the emperor's order for true love, or should I be submissive and let my lover down?
