C584 Unseen and undispersed (1/2)
Since when did she want to play for people she didn't like? So she said, ”Father, I suffered some injuries to my hand two days ago, so I'm afraid I can't play anymore. Let the zither master take over.”
”Ruoxi, before His Highness, you are not to be rude.”
”Father, it's not that your daughter is rude, it's because she can't play.” She, Pan Ruocheng, was also a woman with a lot of self-respect, so she didn't want to take the initiative. Otherwise, she would be looked down upon, just like the men who always pestered her.
Pan Lin had no choice but to apologize to Feng Yunzheng. Feng Yunzheng said, ”It's no problem.”
Everyone could not help but feel that it was a pity. They had only heard that the princess was skilled in the zither, but they had never heard of her in person.
After the banquet, Pan Ruo didn't seem very interested anymore. Her gaze somewhat resentfully fell on Feng Yunzheng's body, but he always maintained his noble and elegant demeanor. When he spoke to the people who came to toast him, there wasn't anything amiss …
Feng Yunzheng, just what kind of person are you?
After the banquet ended, Pansy invited Feng Yunzheng to move away and proactively asked, ”Ninth Highness, if my daughter Ruo Chu isn't married yet, this subject would like to betroth Ruo Chu to Your Highness, I wonder how Your Highness would like to do it?”
Feng Yunzheng's eyes revealed a faint hint of surprise.
Your Highness, my daughter is not an ordinary girl. Since she was born, I have asked the best teacher in Qingnan to teach her that she is proficient in music, music, calligraphy, and painting. Besides that, she can also go on stage and fight. Penicillin introduced his daughter to Feng Yunzheng.
”According to what Prince An Qing said, the princess is indeed a high-class woman, but …” A faint, estranged smile appeared on Feng Yunzheng's face as he said, ”This time, this duke came only for official business. Let's not talk about personal matters. I'm afraid even this duke cannot accept Prince An Qing's good intentions.”
The expression on Penicillin's face froze.
”Goodbye.” Feng Yunzheng walked out.
”Your Highness …” Pancin came back to his senses and caught up with him in a few steps.
”Prince …” The wind came up from the side and stopped Prince An Qing's steps, calling out to him.
”Lord Ye, this Ninth Prince, he … Could it be that you dislike me too much? ” It was the first time that Penicillin had ever met a man who refused his beautiful daughter.
Ye Feng bowed, cupped his hands, and said, ”Your Royal Highness is overthinking things. It's really because your Royal Highness is not easy to scheme with a beauty. If this has nothing to do with the princess, then Your Royal Highness, please go back!”
After saying that, Ye Feng also quickly turned around and left.
When King An Qing turned around, he saw Pan Ruchu standing behind him with an ugly expression on her face.
”If only …”
”Father, you don't need to say anymore. It's already embarrassing enough!” Pan Ruocheng couldn't hold it anymore, so she turned around and ran back to her room in a huff.
This was the first time she saw her princess get angry over a man, so she said very carefully, ”Princess, your servant heard from the crown prince a few days ago that the ninth prince had made a great contribution before the emperor, but he didn't ask for Lilu's merit, he only asked the emperor to grant him a free marriage. Your servant is thinking if the ninth prince's rejection of the prince's proposal was because he had already made a lifelong contract with someone.”
Hearing that, Pan Ruo's eyes lit up. ”In other words, he already has a lover, so he's unwilling to agree to my father's request?”
”Perhaps, perhaps, Ninth Prince also thinks that the princess has outstanding talent, but if he agrees, and wants her to sit as his secondary wife, does he think that he has wronged the princess?” Silver Coin guessed.
