Be Careful, Black-bellied Prince - C72
In fact, Gu Qing Rui had his own thoughts as well. After all, Sheng Yan was a treasure now, and a hot potato as well.
Of course, when Gu Qing Rui saw Sheng Yan, he was a little regretful. Why would he directly ask for Sheng Qing Mei’s hand in marriage, after all, Sheng Yan only said that she and the Xuanyuan Li were engaged, but with the Xuanyuan Li’s personality, as long as the imperial family did not accept the imperial edict, they would not take the initiative to propose marriage.
So now was the time to fight for it. But looking at it today, he did not have the slightest chance, because Sheng Ming He was also more inclined to having Xuanyuan Li.
“Old Gu, what are you hiding behind us for? Hurry up and come over.”
Sheng Ming He waved his hand towards Gu Qing Rui, and the two old officials sat together like two families discussing on marriage.
Xuan Yuan Nuo also hoped that Sheng Yan could marry into the Prime Minister Palace, but he could not say these words himself, so he could only look at Sheng Yi Qiu. After all, Sheng Yi Qiu would not let Sheng Yan’s marriage be so good.
The fight between the two was already obvious when they were at the hunting grounds, especially when Sheng Yan was being so mischievous and overbearing, the two of them immediately showed their personalities, but it was also very obvious that Sheng Yi Qiu was not at an advantage at all.
Just because Sheng Yan had sent Sheng Si En to her side, this intelligence made him extremely intelligent, thus, it was good that this kind of person could be accepted and used by her subordinates, if not, then she had to think of all ways to destroy it.
After all, today is the day that the First Prince and the imperial concubine are returning to the sect.
“Lord Prime Minister is overthinking it. Since today is a gathering for our families, why don’t you tell me the purpose of your visit?”
Xuan Yuan Nuo said with a smile, and with just a glance, he knew Sheng Yi Qiu’s temperament. He would definitely reveal Sheng Yan’s name, and this kind of evil person would not do anything herself, after all, this was not the time to fall out with Xuanyuan Li.
Everyone knew that he was here for Sheng Qing Mei, so when they heard him say that, they became a little uncertain. After all, they had already accepted the betrothal gift.
Hearing this, Gu Qing Rui felt a little embarrassed, and he looked at Sheng Ming He evasively.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sheng Yan knew that they had to target him, so no matter what, they had to make him fall into a pit of fire.
“Actually, this old official has come …”
“Master, First Prince, Third Prince has arrived.”
Sheng Yan raised her eyebrows, it seemed like this brat was monitoring him, he knew her every move, or could it be that he had already arrived at her residence long ago, and would appear at the right time?
Towards this person, he was like a peasant grandma who knew how to poop.
After all, Xuanyuan Li were very good at spying and eavesdropping.
After all, even if the two of them were not married, they still had to continue playing the game. If someone broke the rules in the middle of the game, they could only ruthlessly kick that person out of the game.
Seeing the Xuanyuan Li come in, Gu Qing Rui felt a little awkward.
“Greetings, royal brother and sister-in-law.”
The Xuanyuan Li looked at Xuan Yuan Nuo and, completely ignoring Sheng Yi Qiu.
“Third brother, who are you looking at? Could it be that you don’t know who your sister-in-law is?”
The Xuanyuan Li knew that Sheng Yi Qiu would say this, so he smiled: “Two imperial Sisters are here, what’s the point in naming others? Since they are all my concubines, do I have to go through the motions? ”
Sheng Yi Qiu refused to accept this. After all, she was the main wife, “No, I have to make this matter clear.”
“Nonsense, Yiqiu, why are you talking to Third Prince?” Sheng Ming He suddenly roared, and the entire hall became silent.
But no one knew what happened to Sheng Yi Qiu today, it was as if she had taken the wrong medicine, and planned to clash with Sheng Yan and the Xuanyuan Li, as though they were one entity. Attacking one would inevitably cause harm to the other.
Xuanyuan Li knew, if today’s matter wasn’t over, then he would be wronged.
“Don’t be angry, sister-in-law. Third brother doesn’t understand the situation and is just joking around. He thinks that sister-in-law likes to joke around.”
“Hmph, I like to joke around. Xuanyuan Li, who do you think I, Sheng Yi Qiu am?”
“She’s a human. Don’t you think that sister-in-law won’t admit that she’s a human?”
Sheng Yan, who was at the side, was about to burst out laughing, but because of the courtesy, she did not act too imprudently. She merely held back her laughter, and hid behind Qing Qian, as his entire body started to tremble.
Qing Qian knew that she was gloating, so she pinched her.
He reminded her softly, “Be careful, there are so many people waiting to catch you red-handed.”
“I know, I’m not laughing anymore.”
As such, Sheng Yan returned to her senses, removed the scented sachet from her waist, walked forward, and gave it to the Xuanyuan Li.
“Prince Li must be here to get this, it contains the fragrance of flowers that can pacify the soul, don’t mind it, Prince Li is not good at this.”
The Xuanyuan Li looked at the scented sachet, and was immediately attracted by the scented sachet. Wasn’t this the first time the two of them had met?
Then why did he feel like he couldn’t control it, or could it be that the combination of this fragrance, this seductive medicine, and the incense had a miraculous effect?
“Thank you, Fifth Miss need not be so courteous, last time I just raised my lips and let it hang on my heart, looks like Master General has some preferences, Fifth Miss also recites them backwards?”
Sheng Yan gave a fake smile with half of her face covered.
“Of course, dad likes to eat osmanthus cake, and that’s for Lin Ru Fang.”
The Xuanyuan Li knew, Sheng Yan must have investigated this small matter thoroughly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to understand this so well within the Sheng Jia.
The two of them looked like a couple that they had just met. They looked at each other, but did not say anything. The smile on their faces was especially eye-catching.
Sheng Yi Qiu came up and slapped Sheng Yan without saying anything.
Things happened so fast that no one could react.
“What is Grand Imperial Consort doing?”
Sheng Yan looked at Sheng Yi Qiu in fear, and then fell to the ground.
“Stop pretending. I didn’t use any strength just now.”
The Xuanyuan Li took a step forward and blocked in front of Sheng Yan, “Imperial Sister-in-Law, aren’t you going a little too far? Today is the day you and Imperial Brother return home, why must you be unhappy with others?”
“If I am not satisfied with finding others, then what are you guys? You’re already making eye contact before the wedding, why are you so lacking in tutelage? ”
The Xuanyuan Li’s face immediately fell. On this point, he and Sheng Yan were the same, they did not have a mother, so these words without a home tutor, such as a wild child, aroused the anger in their hearts the most.
Sheng Yan immediately stood up and pulled on the Xuanyuan Li’s hand without caring about anything else.
“Third Prince, I bring the imperial concubine to apologize to you. She didn’t mean to hurt you, she was just here for me.”
Sheng Yan’s weak and gentle appearance coupled with the tears in her pleading voice allowed everyone to see through Sheng Yi Qiu.
