However, Huang Qiong didn't care too much about the prince's appearance. His father looked like a handsome guy when he was young. Even though he is now middle-aged, his style is still the same. Moreover, as the first wealthy family at home and abroad, Guilin County Prince's Mansion has nothing but money. Such a rich and handsome man will find at least one beautiful woman in his wife.
It will definitely not be the kind of crooked melon and cracked jujube. It would be really weird if a handsome boy and a beautiful girl gave birth to a child like Jia Quan. In my own words from my previous life, it was really an environmental issue. Although this prince made Huang Qiong feel that he was indeed a bit unworthy of the audience. But Huang Qiong didn't dare to look down on this handsome prince.
To say he didn't care was not because Huang Qiong looked down upon this prince who had an outstanding appearance and was also full of elegance. It's that he doesn't dare to do anything about this prince, who can eat and drink everywhere just by looking at his face. He is definitely comparable to Pan An's appearance and doesn't care about him, but it's not that he doesn't care about this person. Huang Qiong never underestimates any opponent.
After sizing up the prince, Huang Qiong turned his attention to the princess, the wife the emperor was determined to find for himself. But when Huang Qiong looked at the princess, she couldn't help but be stunned. This princess is none other than Situ Huanshuang, who has been making her think about her day and night, but has nowhere to look for her.
Isn't her surname Situ and her given name Huanshuang? How could she become Princess Rui'er of the Guilin County Prince's Palace? What is going on? Could it be that the name Situ Huanshuang was simply used by her to deceive herself? The princess of Guilin County Prince's Mansion, is her true identity? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong frowned slightly, feeling like his heart was being torn apart.
At this time, Huang Qiong immediately wanted to question Situ Huanshuang. Is it really fun to make up a fake name to play with herself? But this is the palace, and standing in front of them are the emperor and the prince of Guilin. Both of these two people are extremely shrewd people. Not only is there no way for me to question them now, I can't even show that they knew each other before.
The feeling of being stabbed hard pressed into Huang Qiong's heart. His eyes just looked at Situ Huanshuang's face once, and then he immediately withdrew his thoughtful gaze. But even though he didn't look at it openly, he saw the woman opposite him who had deceived him. But Huang Qiong was still looking at Situ Huanshuang across from her with her peripheral vision, trying to find something on her face.
What disappoints Huang Qiong is that Situ Huanshuang opposite him bowed deeply to him and said hello to His Royal Highness. He didn't look at Huang Qiong again, he just lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Occasionally he raised his head to glance at Huang Qiong, but quickly looked away again before the emperor, the Prince of Guilin, and especially the Crown Prince beside him noticed.
Looking at Situ Huanshuang, who was now dressed in palace attire, his appearance could not be described as noble. I also remembered that night in the King of Shu's Courtyard, and she looked miserable when we parted. Huang Qiong's left hand couldn't help but clenched into a fist. He didn't even know that she was the real one. The dramatic change in the beauty's identity can be said to have made him feel betrayed. When looking at Situ Huanshuang, his eyes gradually became a little cold.
Situ Huanshuang, who was standing opposite him, gradually felt him and looked at the change in his eyes. But what disappoints Huang Qiong is that Situ Huanshuang opposite has no expression at all. Even the glances that he occasionally looked over showed no change. It was as if the two people were complete strangers and had never met before.
The emperor, who was currently talking to the Prince of Guilin, glanced at the two of them from time to time. The emperor, who became more and more satisfied with these two people as he looked at them, smiled and said to the Prince of Guilin: "How is it? You are satisfied with the son-in-law I have chosen for you this time. This is the one I value most among all my princes. And the most pragmatic one.”
"Your Majesty, how dare you disobey your orders? Since your Majesty has said so, how can I dare to disobey you? The King of England is famous all over the world for the aftermath of this incident in Zhengzhou. Rui'er is already betrothed to the King of England. How dare you be picky and picky after reaching such a high level? What’s more, if the King of England is so highly regarded by the Emperor, he must be the best among men, how can I still be dissatisfied?"
"Speaking of which, it is because I was not strict in educating my children, which made the emperor worry about my daughter's marriage. It's just that this girl has been deeply favored by me since she was a child. Over the years, she has developed some arrogant temper. Sometimes even I can't control it. Live with him. This important matter of marriage requires her own consent." Regarding the emperor's praise, the Prince of Guilin seemed very calm.
The emperor was slightly displeased when he heard the words of the Guilin County Prince that seemed to be complimentary but actually refused to give in. This ninth son of the emperor is the heir he has chosen, and he will entrust this son to his ancestors through hundreds of battles in the future. If the princess didn't know what was good and opened her mouth to say something bad, wouldn't she be openly slapping herself, the emperor, in the face?
However, although I felt slightly unhappy. But the emperor, who had been the emperor for many years and had already been tempered unfathomably, did not show it. Instead, in his heart, he directed his anger towards the emperor who had chosen Huang Qiong to marry the Guilin County Prince who was currently in the palace. He thought that Huang Qiong, a bitch, had taken away the good things that should have belonged to his son and was furious. On the concubine.
If she hadn't first proposed marriage to the Prince of Guilin in private, and then messed around so much that she wanted to betroth the princess to the King of Song, allowing a foreign minister to see all the Tian family's jokes, how could such an embarrassing thing have happened? It's a good thing now that the blind date between King Song and Prince Song has become a joke in the whole court. It also made the Prince of Guilin suspicious of the candidates he provided.
More importantly, he almost ruined his entire plan. This Guilin Prince is very shrewd, there is no doubt about this. In more than a hundred years, the Guilin County Prince's Palace was the first to exclude his legitimate son from the throne. He was able to firmly control the Guilin County Prince's Palace, which was now flourishing and had many branches. This person's skill was indeed remarkable. .
You must know that when the Guilin County Prince died, he left a will saying that there were direct heirs and no direct heirs. This decree was implemented as an iron law by the successive kings of Guilin, and no one has violated it for more than a hundred years. But this person, who was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, was able to make the previous Guilin County King violate his ancestral order while the legitimate son was still alive.
He was appointed as the crown prince, and with the consent of Emperor Sejong, he successfully took over the throne. He can actually hold the huge Guilin County Prince's Palace in his hands, which is not even much smaller than the size of the world. How can such a person be fooled by ordinary means? That stupid woman, Concubine De, thought she had the support of her mother-in-law, and acted on her own without even looking at the talents of the son she gave birth to.
Because of her stupidity, all her cards were almost exposed in the first round of testing. How could she hide her pettiness from this shrewd Prince of Guilin? In addition to being blind and arrogant, how could King Song, who had no ability at all, fall into the eyes of others? Exposing the King of Song Dynasty, doesn’t that mean telling the Guilin County Prince’s Palace that he, the emperor, is deceiving them?
If it weren't for Ah Jiu's trump card, my entire plan would have been completely ruined by this stupid mother and son. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel sulky, even though there was no expression on his face. If that pair of idiots hadn't caused so many troubles, why would I, the king of a country, bother to look at that little girl's face?
Looking at the emperor who showed his displeasure with silence even though he didn't show it after hearing what he said, the Guilin Prince just smiled faintly. To be honest, after meeting his family, the King of England only occasionally looked over with sharp eyes that were well concealed. Most of the time, no one could tell what he was thinking.
Compared to the time when he saw his daughter, his eyes almost never left the two kings Shen and Song in his daughter. Apart from the initial shock, there was no expression after that. The British king's expression made the King of Guilin very uncomfortable. The King of England behaved too plainly in front of him, not at all like what was said outside.
Didn't he say that he took more than ten concubines in Zhengzhou in one breath? Logically speaking, this kind of person should be a lustful person. But the King of England was so calm when he saw his daughter, who was a little moved every time he met her. Calm, not like the legend at all. He had a vague feeling that the King of England would be a difficult, even elusive person to control.
Compared to the idiot King Song, he was actually easier to control. The Prince of Guilin was actually even more reluctant to the British King who was now notorious outside the country, but in his heart. Even though he knew clearly that the previous King Song and King Shen were just the emperor's companions because of Concubine De's manipulation behind his back. The person the emperor really cared about was the King of England in front of him.
But for the Guilin County Prince, a son-in-law who is obedient or stupid and easy to manipulate is more advantageous. What if a son-in-law who is too shrewd and out of his control can be an emperor, let alone a prince? Maybe the more powerful this son-in-law is, the more likely he is to backfire on the Guilin County Prince's Palace, especially at this juncture.
It's just that the emperor has brought it up now, so he can't do anything if he doesn't answer. Therefore, the prince of Guilin placed all his hopes of rejection on his daughter. I hope she will reject this King of England, who is probably the most difficult to grasp, just like she rejected the two kings Shen and Song. But to his surprise, when the princess saw her father looking at him, she did not refuse directly.
He didn't even mention the previous exam. He walked a few steps in front of the emperor and the Prince of Guilin. He turned his head and took a deep look at Huang Qiong before saluting: "Your Majesty, father, my daughter has no idea. As long as my daughter Her appearance is worthy of His Highness the King of England, and if His Highness the King of England does not dislike his daughter Pu Liu’s appearance, my daughter will not have any objections to this marriage.”
As soon as the princess said these words, almost everyone present was caught off guard. Both the scheming emperor and her equally cunning father were shocked by the princess's attitude of agreeing to marry Huang Qiong so easily. Is this the same princess who almost drove Shen and King Song crazy in Wende Hall a few days ago?
And Gao Wuyong, who was the only one serving in the palace, was so frightened that he almost broke the tea cup in his hand. A few days ago, during the competition in the Wende Hall, he was the only one serving in the hall, but he saw with his own eyes how the princess was trying to outsmart the two kings Shen and Song. It is hard to imagine that the princess in front of her, who is as docile as a sheep, is the same person who was in Wende Hall a few days ago.
Gao Wuyong, who had finally stabilized, was a little puzzled. He turned his eyes to the side where he was looking at the gold bricks on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking about at this time. king. Scratching his scalp, he couldn't figure out that, apart from his vicious reputation, there was something about this British king that made the beautiful princess fall in love at first sight.
