The king was wrong

"Is the princess thirsty?"

Hearing Wei Yanxi calling him suddenly, Qi Yaoqing raised his head subconsciously, there was still a hint of ignorance and haste in his eyes, which was very interesting in Wei Yanxi's eyes.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern, minister...it's okay."

After a brief absence, Qi Yaoqing returned to his previous silent appearance, and just gave Wei Yanxi a friendly smile.

Seeing this, Wei Yanxi nodded slightly, but said something else in his mouth.

"You walked with me for a long time today, and breakfast is useless, it must not be enough. For now, let's drink some tea and drink some water, and when I return to the palace, I will ask them to bring you lunch quickly." Come on, how good is this?"

Wei Yanxi's words seem to be for Qi Yaoqing, but they are actually for everyone in the Duke's Mansion.As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization—it turned out that the reason why the princess came late today was because she had walked with King Yong for half a day!

So those who were originally dissatisfied because Qi Yaoqing made them wait at the door for two hours all shrank their heads at the moment, saying that they would never dare to challenge the authority of the prince.

It's just that although these people suddenly realized, Qi Xiaosu on the main seat looked as if he had been struck by lightning.What did Wei Yanxi mean by that just now?Don't they plan to stay at the Duke's mansion for lunch?

According to the rules handed down from the Lan Dynasty since ancient times, the bride must be accompanied by her husband and son-in-law after lunch on the day of her return home, which is also a kind of respect for the Yue family.But now Wei Yanxi has no intention of letting Qi Yaoqing stay in the Duke's mansion for lunch at all. Isn't this just slapping Qi Xiaosu, father-in-law, in the face!

Qi Xiaosu's face suddenly became quite good-looking.

It's just that although he has complaints in his heart, he really can't think of how to speak. After all, his surname is Qi but not Wei. No matter how high the title is, he is still a foreign relative. How could he, a subordinate, turn around and educate the dignified Prince Yong? Want to learn to respect the Yue family?

As a result, the scene turned cold all of a sudden, and the faces of the people present were more or less suspicious, as if they couldn't understand why King Yong would do such a thing that disregarded the face of the Yue family.Even if the prince doesn't like the Duke's Mansion, this is the princess's natal home, no matter what, he has to maintain his face. Isn't the prince doing this on purpose to embarrass the princess!

I am afraid that it is only at this time that they will take Qi Yaoqing as a matter of course within the scope of the Duke of Shengguo...

On the other hand, Qi Yaoqing, before Wei Yanxi opened his mouth, he had already reached out to the teacup on the table, intending to take a few sips to relieve his troubles, but after listening to Wei Yanxi's words, he paused for a moment, then suddenly took it back again, just like the situation Leaning on the armrest, it seems that the previous movement of holding the cup was just an illusion.

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

Qi Yaoqing nodded slightly to Wei Yanxi, with a calm expression, neither humble nor overbearing, as if he was neither happy because of Wei Yanxi's thoughtfulness, nor dissatisfied because he did not respect his mother's family.

Wei Yanxi's temperament may not be clear to those present, but after these few days of getting along with him, he has already seen it clearly.From the day they got married, none of Wei Yanxi's actions conformed to the so-called etiquette system, and now it's just that she doesn't want to stay in Yue's family for dinner, it's really not a big deal.

It's a pity that Qi Yaoqing understands these things, but others don't.What they saw in their eyes was that the prince was sympathetic to the hard work of the princess and did not want to stay at Yue's family for lunch, but the princess was really so proud of being favored that she didn't even care about the face of her mother's family.

All of a sudden, eyes of condemnation, contempt, disdain, and anger shot at Qi Yaoqing, making him breathless.

"Oh, why did the prince leave in such a hurry, Yaoqing is rarely going back to the mansion, and the concubine, who is a mother, still has a lot to say."

Mrs. Zhao looked around and saw that everyone was looking at Qi Yaoqing, but after waiting for a long time, no one was willing to speak, so she finally couldn't help but interject.

As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zhao is the core of the entire backyard, second only to Qi Xiaosu's master. She handles all the marriage matters in the Duke's Mansion, and in her eyes, this time is no exception. .Although Qi Yaoqing is a man, it is reasonable to say that he does not belong to the backyard, but he has learned how to marry a woman, so he is naturally not qualified to refuse the mistress's lecture.

Seeing this, Ke also quickly added: "Yes, yes, my lord, it is not easy for the princess to come back once, and I must be thinking about the mansion in my heart, why don't you let him stay a little longer and talk to the sisters. Simin Asked me many times, when will brother Yaoqing come back to see her!"

She changed the topic to Qi Simin in a timely manner, and kept winking at her daughter, signaling that she must grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and try to make the prince remember her at a glance.

How could Mrs. Zhao, who had been scrambling in the backyard for so many years, not see Ke's little thoughts?She snorted disdainfully, but said nothing.After all, compared to Ke's self-assessment, she doesn't want to see Qi Yaoqing live well.

What's more, the queen empress also specially sent someone to send a letter back, asking her to keep an eye on Qi Yaoqing's movements, so as not to let him have a bright future.Although Ke's daughter is a careless idiot with a bad temper, she is more than beautiful!It's also good to send it over to sharpen Qi Yaoqing's spirit.

She couldn't believe that in the eyes of King Yong, a living beauty was no match for Qi Yaoqing's taciturn second son!

His gaze shifted to Qi Simin, who was suddenly named. She was shrinking aside and secretly looking at Wei Yanxi, thinking that His Royal Highness King Yong was indeed as handsome as the folk rumors said, and he was also a famous general who galloped across the border. There are so many women who can't think of a wishful man in their whole life.

It's a pity that such a good prince was ruined by Qi Yaoqing's second son, she really felt distressed no matter what she thought!

Suddenly being mentioned by her mother, Qi Simin froze for a while, but didn't realize what was going on.However, when she felt that everyone, especially the people in the seat, were looking at her, this idiot who had always been extravagant and rotten suddenly became enlightened.

Qi Simin didn't care how her mother winked at her, her eyes were glued to Wei Yanxi from the beginning to the end, and when she saw Wei Yanxi looking at her, she even smiled, Pingting blessed her body gracefully, and said softly: "That's right, my daughter-in-law misses brother Yaoqing very much. Can the lord be extra merciful, so that my daughter-in-law and elder brother can talk about it?"

It has to be said that Qi Simin is very good at pretending to be a lady.She has a graceful figure, her eyes are amused, and her slender and soft voice sounds like silk brushing her cheeks, which is very comforting.

It was Qi Yaoqing who was talking about, but Qi Simin didn't even look at him, all her attention was attracted by Wei Yanxi.

No matter how stupid Qi Yaoqing was, he could see what this woman was planning.

As soon as he said "Brother Yaoqing", he couldn't help frowning.Ke Shi shouted that, and even Qi Simin yelled it, heh, it's ridiculous to say, these four words he has lived for 22 years, this is the first time he heard Qi Simin yelled.

The mother and daughter really did everything they could to get close to Wei Yanxi.

"If you want to talk to the concubine, just say so. When did this king stop you?"

Wei Yanxi only glanced at Qi Simin before turning her head away.He noticed this woman from the moment he entered the door.It wasn't because she was so eye-catching, but because the way she looked at him was so straightforward and hot that it was hard for him to ignore it.

So even though he knew that Qi Simin was talking to him right now, Wei Yanxi still didn't even have the interest to look at her more.He was obviously a beauty, but Wei Yanxi felt awkward no matter how he looked at it, especially at the moment when she spoke, the crisp voice made him tremble all over, and he almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

Subconsciously looking at Qi Yaoqing, Wei Yanxi felt that she must be crazy, unexpectedly thinking that Qi Yaoqing was better looking than Qi Simin, and her voice was much nicer than her.

If he is prettier than Qi Simin... Wei Yanxi admits it, after all, Qi Yaoqing looks like little sister Qi, who is the prettiest person he has ever seen in his life.

But what about the sound?Compared with Qi Simin's crispy voice, Wei Yanxi actually felt that she was more willing to listen to Qi Yaoqing's words.His voice is like a clear stream flowing through a mountain stream, clear and ethereal...

Wei Yanxi is now completely sure that she is in a daze, which man in this world would ignore a beauty and look at a man instead!

Looking at Qi Simin again, he was a little stunned after being slapped by Wei Yanxi.But she still reacted quickly, smiled shyly, suddenly raised her foot and walked towards the center of the hall, finally stopped at a position three steps away from Wei Yanxi, and prostrated herself on the ground.

"Hehe, what the lord said seems to be Simin's fault."

Her voice was already soft, but now she deliberately added a hint of shy reproach, it sounded like a wife complaining to her husband in the boudoir, it seemed to be pushing and welcoming, so seductive.

It's a pity that although there are men here, most of them are women who have lived in the backyard of their homes for a long time, so naturally they will not be as sympathetic as men.In their eyes, Qi Simin at this moment is no different from those girls in the brothel Chuguan.

It's a pity that Qi Simin's heart is all on Wei Yanxi, and she has no time to pay attention to the reactions of the people around her, especially her father.

You must know that although Lan Chao doesn't restrict women too much, it's not to the point of allowing a girl who hasn't left the court to talk to a man casually, even if it's her brother-in-law... oh no, brother-in-law.

But Qi Simin not only agreed, but also used such a tone that to Qi Xiaosu's father's ears, it sounded like a prostitute in a brothel was soliciting customers.

Qi Xiaosu's complexion is quite ugly at the moment, he looked sternly at his daughter who was kneeling not far away, hoping that she would restrain herself under his own reminder, but after looking for a long time, he found out sadly, Qi Simin didn't even look at herself at all, she looked at Wei Yanxi almost obsessively, pretending to be his shadow in all her heart and eyes.
