He frowned and said, ”However, the Fourth Prince just mentioned to father that he would seek an edict from the Emperor. He wanted you to marry him and become the princess of the Prince of Yue, so that you could formally propose marriage one day. ”I reject you from a distance because you have not reached the age for marriage yet, but the Fourth Prince has already decided that he will persevere and persevere when you reach the prime of your age before you go through the wedding ceremony.”
What?
Lian Ruyue's face was filled with surprise for a moment, as she didn't expect that Feng Qianyue would counterattack so quickly.
But soon, a hint of a cold smile flashed past her eyes. This man was really despicable. He purposely used such a method to make her feel uncomfortable.
”So, I want to ask you, have you and the Fourth Prince been through this together? Otherwise, why would he be so attached to you?” Lian Yanqing's tone was ice-cold. It was obvious that he wasn't dissatisfied with this daughter of his for bringing her trouble. If Lian Ruyue surpassed her parents and was privately betrothed to them for the rest of their lives, he definitely wouldn't let her off!
From Lian Yan Qing's tone and manner, Lian Ru Yue could already tell what he was thinking. Ah, no matter what happened, his first thought was to blame her and misunderstand her.
Lian Ruyue composed herself. There was nothing out of the ordinary on her face. On the contrary, she appeared extremely calm and indifferent as she said:
”Father, your daughter doesn't have any private interactions with the Fourth Prince, and your daughter also doesn't have any thoughts of climbing into the ranks of the strong. Your daughter isn't willing to marry the Fourth Prince, so please look into it, Father.”
”Really?” He wanted to confirm her intentions.
Lian Xiyue's eyes were sincere as she said, ”I will not lie.”
When Lian Yan Qing heard this, he nodded his head and said, ”Originally, I did not think your talent was enough for you to become the wife of a noble king. But now, it seems that you are mature, mature, righteous, wise, and calm.
However, being the princess consort of the Yueyu Prince would be a great injustice to you. ”Therefore, this marriage, as long as it isn't your personal wish, is good enough. Your father will think of a way to have His Highness put an end to this idea before he even asks for an edict from the emperor.”
What he was worried about was not her future. What he was worried about was that Feng Qianyue didn't seem to have any ambitions; dancing and writing all day, planting vegetables and flowers, they were all useless to his career.
So, after all, she was only a tool in exchange for status in his eyes, and her happiness was never in his consideration.
Seeing Lian Ruyue's expression, Lian Yan Qing felt a bit uncomfortable, so he said, ”Yue'er, you are my Prime Minister's daughter, so I must be careful when it comes to your marriage. Don't be careless. If your grandmother doesn't know about this, keep quiet for now. I will keep a close eye on the Fourth Prince. You must keep your distance from him and not let anyone catch you red-handed. In this Autumn Hunt, you will be included in the list of your peers, so you should be extra careful. ”
”Yes, daughter understands.” Lian Fu Yue bowed as a sinister light flashed past her eyes.
Walking out of Lian Yan Qing's study, the warm autumn sun shone on her body, but her face was as cold as winter, and even her exhaled breath was almost frozen!
”Eldest Miss …” ”What are you doing here?” Qing Dai asked in a low voice.
”What is it?” she asked expressionlessly.
”Auntie Zhao just said that Auntie Xiao seems to have secretly gone to the ancestral temple to visit Third Miss ZZ …” ”Yes,” she replied.
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her icy eyes that were as calm as still water revealed a trace of ridicule. She said, ”She finally couldn't hold it in anymore.”
