The king was wrong

"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you that at the beginning, I really didn't expect that you would only want that paper of divorce in the end."

Wei Yanxi laughed at herself, and casually picked up the teacup beside her, wanting to drink some water to moisten her throat, but when she lifted the lid of the cup, she was embarrassed to find that there was not a single drop of water in the cup.Only then did he realize belatedly that this cup seemed to be the one Qi Yaoqing had used earlier, and he had already drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

He covered his mouth and coughed twice, covered the teacup and put it back to its original position, brushed off his sleeves as a gesture, and then looked at Qi Yaoqing again.

"After going through a lot of hardships, in the end, I only need a divorce letter, the princess will really not regret it?"

Seeing his dubious expression, Qi Yaoqing asked half funny and half helplessly: "Why, does the lord believe in the subject? Then in the lord's opinion, what kind of request should the subject make to be considered normal?"

Wei Yanxi blinked and was taken aback. "I originally thought that no matter how humble and generous you are, you would want to keep your princess position, or let me find a way to help you enter the court as an official. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that I don't want to be a concubine, nor to be an official in the court. I just want to be free, right?" Wei Yanxi was thinking about his words, but Qi Yaoqing finished the sentence for him directly.

"I have been obsessed with official careers for many years. It can even be said that since my mother passed away, I have been looking forward to entering the imperial court one day, displaying my ambitions and talents, and winning a bright future for myself, so that the entire Shengguo government will no longer dare to look down on me. "

"My lord only knew that when the imperial decree came down, he didn't want to follow the decree and marry me as a princess, but he didn't know that my ministers didn't want to either. Marrying me as a man is shocking, let alone marrying Prince Yong, who is of the highest rank in the dynasty. This' The word "Wangfei" seems to be beautiful, but once it falls on the head of the minister, it only means that the minister has missed the ideal that he has struggled for for many years, and is despised by the world. The possibility of being an official."

Wei Yanxi listened quietly to Qi Yaoqing, talking about his ideals and ambitions, and his inner disappointment and bitterness after marrying into the palace.Wei Yanxi always thought that she was the most aggrieved in the matter of the imperial decree granting marriage, but she never thought that the pain in the heart of the princess is actually worse than him.Thinking about it, when the goal of many years of struggle was shattered overnight, no one could accept it. It was only because of his forbearance and silence that the pain was deeply buried in the bottom of his heart, and the world didn't know it.

"I'm not afraid of the lord's jokes. After learning about the imperial decree, even my friends didn't think that I would follow the decree and marry here."

"Zhu Yaozi?" Wei Yanxi suddenly interjected coolly.

Qi Yaoqing was slightly taken aback, nodded and said, "Yes."

"You have a good relationship with him?"

"Well, I grew up with him since childhood, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary."

"So it's because we grew up together..." Wei Yanxi frowned slightly, as if muttering to himself: "No wonder he brought you out that day. Hmph, I didn't expect Mr. Shoufu to have such abilities. This king's concubine can match up..."

"My lord... what are you talking about?"

Qi Yaoqing only saw Wei Yanxi looking out of the window alone, talking to himself for a long time, but he couldn't catch a single word of what he said.

"Oh, it's nothing." Wei Yanxi suddenly came back to his senses, waved his hand casually, and changed the subject: "Since you really want to become an official, now only this king can give you this opportunity, why don't you want to?"

Wei Yanxi really can't understand this point, as long as Qi Yaoqing can help him find Miss Seventh Sister, then there is no need for the emperor to come forward, and it will not be difficult to find an official position for him based on his status in the court.It stands to reason that he is wholeheartedly longing to enter the court, and now is a great opportunity before him, why should he give up?

"The child is not a fish, An Zhiyu is happy. Similarly, the prince is not a minister, and An Zhichen's heart will not change with the passage of time?"

Qi Yaoqing smiled, shook his head and said: "I thought that even if I marry the prince as a wife, as long as I don't give up, I can still realize my wish one day. But the fact is, as I said to the prince in the morning, no matter the prince In the end, no matter what, the fact that the minister married the prince will not change. Even if the prince is benevolent and willing to help the minister to achieve his wish, the minister will still not be able to return to his youthful youth in fresh clothes and angry horses. Horseshoe disease, I have seen all Chang'an Hua's champions in one day."

The imperial court is no better than the common people. Qi Yaoqing's current status as Concubine Yong is controversial even among the common people, let alone the ever-changing court.Even if one day, with the help of Wei Yanxi, he can enter and leave the court freely, but the status of "former princess" will always bring him strange eyes and contempt from others, and finally let him walk with his ideal drifting away.

Instead of being disheartened and depressed until then, it is better to see everything now and choose a path that really suits you.

"My concubine really sees things clearly." Wei Yanxi nodded in agreement, "I only wronged your reputation as a 'sage of the capital', after all, it is a great loss for the court."

Such an intelligent and thorough person would be like a fish in water if he entered the imperial court, but now he is shrunk down in a corner of the palace, unable to embark on an official career, it is really a drama.

"By the way, what's your relationship with your sister..." While speaking, Wei Yanxi suddenly remembered Qi Yaoqing's subconscious action of wiping his sleeves to wipe his hands that day, and couldn't help asking.

"The lord is talking about the empress?" Qi Yaoqing was not surprised by this. After returning from the palace, he guessed that Wei Yanxi would ask about his relationship with the empress, so he didn't hide it now, and said bluntly: "As the lord saw, Not much."

Wei Yanxi couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, "Ha, you're being straightforward. I originally thought that the empress had gone to great lengths to ask for an imperial edict to marry you. You would be grateful to her because of this.

"The empress has her reasons for what she did, but it's a pity that the beneficiary in this matter is not the minister." Having said all this, Qi Yaoqing has no intention of hiding the trivial matters in the Duke's mansion from Wei Yan Xi: "Born from a different mother is naturally no better than a compatriot from a single mother. It is understandable for the queen to plan for her younger brother."

"Don't you feel wronged? After all, as far as this king knows, your father never said a single word of objection to the granting of marriage."

"Wronged?" Qi Yaoqing shook his head as if he had heard a big joke, "What is there to be wronged by me, my father didn't intend to tell me about the marriage, if I didn't hear the conversation between the two little maids by accident I am afraid that I will be kept in the dark until the day I get married. Even if I am wronged, I have no choice in front of the imperial decree."

Qi Yaoqing didn't know what was wrong with him. It stands to reason that he married into Prince Yong's mansion, so he should never tell his husband about his mother's family.But today, he was only asked by Wei Yanxi a few words, and he couldn't express his anger for a while, wishing to pour out all the resentment in his heart, it really shouldn't be.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Yaoqing tried hard to suppress all the excitement and hatred in his chest, his face returned to the original cold and alienated look, he bowed respectfully to Wei Yanxi, bowed his head and said: "The minister lost his composure for a while, and I still look at the prince Forgive me."

His attitude changed so quickly that Wei Yanxi didn't react for a while.You must know that the nonsense of the Duke's Mansion has not yet been finished, and now Qi Yaoqing suddenly interrupted, he didn't ask, and he didn't ask, he was in a dilemma for a while.

In the end, Wei Yanxi had no choice but to touch her nose in embarrassment, smiled stiffly, waved her hands and said, "It's okay, the princess doesn't need to be formal."

Even though she said this, Wei Yanxi also knew in her heart that it would be impossible for Qi Yaoqing to be completely undefended against herself like before, and to be outspoken in everything.Although he felt a little lost in his heart, he had no choice but to let it go.

"My lord has been working hard for a day, and I won't bother my lord to rest anymore, so I'll leave."

Qi Yaoqing secretly regretted why he was so unrestrained before, and at the same time bowed and retreated.He doesn't want to stay here to talk to Wei Yanxi anymore. Originally, his purpose was to let Wei Yanxi understand that he really doesn't want anything other than a divorce letter. Now that his goal has been achieved, naturally there is no longer any reason to stay here. necessary.After all, walls have ears, and since he doesn't know much about this King Yong, it wouldn't be worthwhile to cause any unnecessary trouble because of what he said today.

"Well, the princess too... let's go to bed earlier."

Behind him, Wei Yanxi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed awkwardly at the moment Qi Yaoqing stepped out of the door.Qi Yaoqing paused when he heard the words, and was stunned for a while, but he didn't look back after all, and left without hesitation.

It's just that even he himself didn't notice the smile slightly raised on the corner of his lips.

Unknowingly, in fact, the two people's views and prejudices towards each other are slowly changing, but they haven't noticed it yet.
