Chapter 717 Love (7)
After King Cheng had settled down, he stood up, bowed meticulously to Nangong Qin Zuo, and said sincerely: "Master Nangong, I'm here today for one thing. I want to ask Master Nangong to make the eldest daughter of Nangong marry him. I."
Nangong Qin was struck by lightning, he couldn't believe his ears, and said in surprise, "His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, what did you say, do you want to marry a little girl?"
"Yes." King Cheng did not shy away from looking directly at Nangong Qin, trying to show his sincerity.
Nangong Qin Meiyu was deeply locked, looked at the young man in front of him, and after a while, he asked, "His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, have you asked the emperor about this?"
King Cheng was stunned, as if he did not expect Nangong Qin to ask such a question, and murmured, "Not yet..."
Nangong Qin's eyes became sharp in an instant, stabbing straight at King Cheng like a sharp blade.
Nangong Qin's expression became more serious, and then he asked: "His Royal Highness, can you decide your own marriage?"
"No... can't..." King Cheng replied hesitantly, at this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed. He originally thought that as long as he proposed a kiss to Nangong Mansion, Nangong Qin would ask Nangong Chen what he meant. And he was very confident that Nangong Chen would nod to agree to marry him.
Hearing this, Nangong Qin was even more dissatisfied. This Cheng Wang knew that he could not decide his own marriage. If he really wanted to marry his own daughter, he should have asked the emperor what he meant, but he was so rash. Came to Nangong Mansion to propose marriage to him?
King Cheng's face was a little embarrassed, but he still said sincerely: "Lord Nangong, I really want to ask to marry Ling Ai."
"His Royal Highness." Nangong Qin said with a gloomy expression, "If the emperor does not agree, what will you do?"
Prince Cheng's expression stiffened, but he still said: "Master Nangong is the emperor's close minister, the emperor will definitely consider your intentions, as long as you agree to betroth your concubine to me, then..."
So, what King Cheng expects is for him to ask the emperor for the marriage? Simply ridiculous!
To put it nicely, King Cheng was impulsive, and to say something ugly, he just didn't take the Nangong family girl seriously. With his status as a prince, there is no reason for him to decide his own marriage, unless it is just a concubine!
Do you want his daughter to be a concubine?
Nangong Qin laughed in anger, he took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness, I don't think I have heard what you said today."
"Lord Nangong, please believe in your sincerity!"
Nangong Qin Duan sent tea to the guest, and said, "His Royal Highness, when you can decide your marriage, it's not too late to propose marriage again."
King Cheng was a little disappointed, but the matter had come to this point, he was powerless to say anything, and had to go out embarrassingly.
He couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the inner courtyard, and reluctantly left the Nangong Mansion.
After King Cheng disappeared, Baihui immediately jumped off the locust tree, ran back to the Mozhuyuan quickly, and reported the events in the outer study to Nangong Yue one by one.
While embroidering her purse, Nangong Yue asked, "Isn't King Cheng going to my eldest uncle like this and asking to marry my eldest sister?" She put down her needlework, "He didn't ask the emperor what he meant first? "
"Yes." Baihui replied.
Nangong Yue shook her head and said, "Prince Cheng's move is too insincere. Changdi has a long way to go, and he can't get his father's first approval in time, so it's understandable, but Dayu's side... why should he? Ask the emperor first."
Baihui just listened silently, without commenting.
Nangong Yue looked at the crape myrtle swaying in the wind outside the house, and sighed, "King Cheng is not a good match." If Nangong Tsang knew the content of the conversation between King Cheng and Nangong Qin, how would he feel?
On the other hand, Nangong Tsang in Wanqing Courtyard naturally knew about Prince Cheng's coming to the mansion. She was in her own room, almost fidgeting, both joyful and apprehensive.
Thinking of yesterday's discussion between the Royal Garden and Prince Cheng, she couldn't help but squeeze the violet brocade in her hand.
His Royal Highness Prince Cheng must have come to propose marriage to his father, right?
Nangong Tsang bit his lower lip, his face was as red as xia, and his beautiful eyes were shining brightly.
If His Royal Highness Prince Cheng really came to beg for marriage, then his father would always come to ask him what he meant, just like the last time Jian'anbo Mansion came to beg for marriage...
The violet brocade handkerchief in Nangong Tsang's hand was almost twisted into a mess, and he thought to himself, "Then just wait, wait for the second aunt to ask her what she wants.
But Nangong Tsang's hope was dwindling little by little while waiting... Until the sun was setting, she didn't wait for Lin to come to find her.
what on earth is it?
Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng did not come to his father to propose marriage? Or……
Nangong Tsang was so uneasy in her heart that she tossed and turned until she couldn't sleep well all night. The next day, she couldn't hold back any longer, so she resolutely went to Mozhuyuan, wanting to find Nangong Yue to inquire about the situation.
Who knows, Nangongyue is no longer in the mansion. From the mouths of the maids, I learned that Nangongyue had already entered the palace early in the morning...
