The princess confirmed for a marriage alliance with Jin Country, but there was a problem with the prince intended to marry Princess Ningshuang.
Currently, there are three princes without a primary consort: Third Prince Qi Jingyun, Eighth Prince Qi Jingyi, and Tenth Prince Qi Jingrong.
"Emperor." At this moment, a girl stood up first, "I am already betrothed to Brother Rong, and whoever enters the Tenth Prince’s residence can only be a concubine."
Qi Jingrong looked disgusted but didn’t refute, as when there’s no parison, there’s no harm. Previously, he was annoyed by this woman, but after interacting with Wanyan Ningshuang these days, he suddenly realized Bai Xingxing was much better. If he had to marry a princess, he’d rather marry Bai Xingxing.
Yang Ruxin’s mouth slightly curved. She had heard about Qi Jingrong’s prospective princess Bai Xingxing from Wei Yao and later asked Qi Jingyi. She seemed to be an interesting girl who supposedly fell in love with Qi Jingrong at first sight and pursued him relentlessly.
However, since the Emperor had already agreed to this marriage, the girl wasn’t wrong.
Making a marriage alliance princess a concubine would be humiliating.
"I won’t be a concubine," Wanyan Ningshuang frowned; she didn’t fancy Qi Jingrong anyway.
At this time, Qi Jingyi also raised his hand: "I’m not suitable either."
"Why?" Wanyan Liang looked at Qi Jingyi, "I heard Eighth Prince is virtuous and has no concubines in his residence."
Qi Jingyi smiled lightly: "An adult man without a woman by his side; if it’s a poor family, it means he can’t afford one, but could I, a prince, not afford a woman?"
Wanyan Liang frowned.
"There’s no woman in my residence because I don’t like women."
Poof! Yang Ruxin couldn’t hold back and spat out the tea in her mouth.
Coughing sounds gradually echoed around as well.
Wanyan Liang twitched his mouth: "You..."
"Alas," Qi Jingyi sighed, "If it were someone else, I wouldn’t mind, just letting them idle in my residence, but it’s different with Princess Ningshuang; it concerns diplomatic relations between two countries, so I can’t hide it." Qi Jingyi leisurely drank a cup of wine, "Of course, if the princess doesn’t mind being a living widow, I don’t mind supporting another person."
Wanyan Ningshuang’s face looked worse.
"Does Prince Yun also dislike women?" Wanyan Liang looked at Qi Jingyun, "I heard Prince Yun’s illegitimate son is already three years old."
Qi Jingyun smiled: "I do like women, but I don’t like Princess Ningshuang."
"Why?" Wanyan Ningshuang’s handsome face was about to distort.
"In Daxuan, marrying off daughters and marrying wives is not the same. Married daughters are like spilled water, they belong to others once married, but marrying wives is different; they are family." Qi Jingyun looked at Wanyan Ningshuang, "That’s why Daxuan men value character when taking wives, with character being the foremost quality. As the saying goes, ’a virtuous wife means less trouble for the husband.’
Yang Ruxin’s eyes sparkled for a moment; so Qi Jingyun could be venomous too?
"Princess Ningshuang ran to someone else’s house to pick a fight for no reason and ruthlessly attacked a few defenseless young girls." Qi Jingyun curved his mouth, "Bringing such a ruthless person home, isn’t that causing trouble for oneself?" He then looked at Wanyan Liang, "Our Daxuan’s princesses are virtuous and talented, but your Dajin sent such a person here, is this to disgrace Daxuan? Is this your sincerity?"
