Chapter 144 On the way to the banquet
Song Qianxue felt that it would be better to ask clearly, as it was too strange to be so inexplicable.
She took a deep breath and pondered for a while before speaking: "Second Prince, why would the Emperor grant us a marriage? To put it bluntly, we are not familiar with each other, and I am still a concubine. Logically speaking, the Emperor would not be willing to grant us a marriage. How could it be possible?"
The second prince explained directly: "I asked my father to grant me a marriage with you..."
"You asked? Why? Why? Why? Could it be? Could it be because of the sunset?"
The second prince looked at her without saying anything, not knowing what to say.
Because of the second prince's silence, Song Qianxue was speechless. She just said it! Why would the emperor think of granting her a marriage? It turned out that he had to take the initiative to propose it. It was really a big deal. It was just a fall into the water, not that serious, right?
"Second Prince, this! This! I just fell into the water and you rescued me. There was no one else around. You really don't need to tell the emperor about this. After all, this concerns your lifelong event. How can you be so reckless..."
In fact, what Song Qianxue wanted to say was, if the empress came back one day, wouldn't she become a stumbling block for the two of them to live together? The third sister said that the second prince was loyal to the empress until death, and that the second prince was willing to do anything for the empress. She also felt that this was true. After all, someone who didn't even want the throne had to love her very much to do this.
"There are outsiders here. The attendants around the prince that day were all here, and the patrolling guards were also here..."
"Well then... As long as you, the Second Prince, give an order, those people should pretend not to see it..."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. What if the news leaks out?"
"It's just that you saved me, how could there be any leak?"
Song Qianxue didn't understand what was so scary about this. Her third sister said it was a very common accident and anyone who saw someone fall into the water would go to rescue them.
The second prince coughed lightly and said slowly, "That day I carried you ashore, and you hugged me tightly, and they..."
"Well...well...it was a little dark, I didn't see clearly, and I recognized the wrong person. It shouldn't be that serious..."
"When I jumped into the water and swam to where you were, I saw that you were somewhat unconscious, so I breathed some air into you..."
Song Qianxue's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning, and she subconsciously repeated those two words: "Passing the Qi..."
After seeing the second prince nod in confirmation, Song Qianxue covered her mouth with a handkerchief. When did it happen? Why didn't she remember it at all? And she hadn't heard the third sister talk about it.
Song Qianxue said in disbelief: "Second Prince, are you lying to me?"
Murong Jingsheng suddenly approached her and said, "Would you like me to demonstrate it to you again?"
Song Qianxue was so scared that she quickly covered his mouth. What kind of vicious words did this guy say? But when she met the smiling eyes of the Second Prince, she realized that she was fooled. She also realized that she had done such an outrageous thing.
She was so scared that she quickly let go of his hand, distanced herself from the Second Prince, and complained incoherently: "Second Prince, how can you tease me like this?"
Murong Jingsheng saw that she was a little restrained, and suddenly pulled her shoulders around so that she could not avoid him and could only look him in the face.
"No matter what the reason is, you are now my fiancée, and you will even be my wife soon, so I hope you can adapt to me as much as possible. You can discuss anything with me in the future, and you can tell me what you encounter in the palace. I will do my best to protect you. Do you understand?"
Song Qianxue thought that if Xiao Nuoning appeared one day, he would not protect her, but would move her away to make room for the empress. The empress had disappeared for too long! She was actually involved with the second prince.
Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Song Qianxue said perfunctorily: "I know, can you let me go first, Second Prince..."
As soon as Murong Jingsheng saw Song Qianxue's expression, he knew that she had automatically linked Xiao Noning with him in her heart again.
He said sternly, "Song Qianxue, remember, I will only say this once. Xiao Nuoning will not come back, and even if she does, she will have nothing to do with me. The Huai Palace has already spread the word that she eloped with someone, so even if she comes back, not to mention that I don't want her to, there will be no place for her in the entire royal family. Those so-called empresses and male favorites in your mind will no longer exist. Do you understand?"
Song Qianxue was stunned. What he meant was... could it be...
"You...you...you...listen...to Third Sister?"
There were only Song Qianning and Murong Jingchu in the entire carriage, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet. Although she had a good impression of the Fourth Prince and had met him several times, they were not yet as close as brothers.
Besides, why did she feel so embarrassed when she saw him again because the emperor had suddenly arranged a match for her?
Murong Jingchu handed Song Qianning a bag of dried peaches and said, "Last time at Heji Store, when I saw you choosing dried fruits, you seemed to like this more, so I bought some for you on the way here..."
Song Qianning took the dried fruit and thanked him: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for troubling me to buy it..."
What Song Qianning actually wanted to say was that the opera house had cooperated with Heji Shop, and if she wanted to eat it, she could just ask her third brother to bring some back, and there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, considering that others had already bought it, she didn't want to offend him.
Murong Jingchu smiled and said: "I bought it for you, so it's no trouble..."
Song Qianning swallowed her saliva, feeling a little uneasy at the moment. She really didn't understand why the Fourth Prince was so crazy...
[Did the fourth prince take the wrong medicine? Why is he laughing like a fool? Oh~ too weird, I can’t stand it! Forget it! Let’s just eat dried fruit!]
Song Qianning felt uncomfortable being stared at, pretending to eat dried fruit professionally, and stole a glance from time to time, and found that he was still staring at her with a silly smile on his face. Could he be thinking? ?
"Does the Fourth Prince want to eat too?"
Song Qianning handed a piece of dried fruit to the Fourth Prince. She originally wanted to show her respect, but Murong Jingchu's next move made Song Qianning's eyes widen as if she had seen a ghost...
Murong Jingchu did not take the dried fruit from her hand. He just lowered his head and took a bite. His soft lips touched Song Qianning's fingers.
Then Murong Jingchu raised his head and said: "It tastes good..."
Song Qianning was so stunned that her mind went blank. She just withdrew her hand stupidly. Her brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm of her hands. When she reacted, she realized that she had stuffed the dried fruit that the Fourth Prince had bitten into her mouth without knowing when.
[Oh my god! What did I just do? ? I... I ate the dried fruit that the Fourth Prince had bitten, and there was still his saliva on it, oh my god! Can I spit it out? Should I spit it out? If I spit it out, will my life be in danger? ? Oh my god, what is this? ? ]
Song Qianning couldn't swallow or spit out the dried fruit stuck in her mouth. She was about to collapse...
Murong Jingchu had not expected that she would eat the dried fruit she had bitten so directly. His eyes were full of strange feelings, and when he heard her scream in her heart, he felt inexplicably happy. He could foresee that his future life would be very interesting.
“Qian Ning…”
Song Qianning was stunned by Murong Jingchu's intimate call. She swallowed the dried fruit with a gulp and asked stupidly: "Ah? Uh? You called me?"
