Chapter 285 - The best matchmaker (2)

Out of three princes that were of suitable age, the second prince was the least likely to succeed. Because he was a cripple, the probability of him winning over the princess was small enough that he hadn't even been considered a real compet.i.tor. Why would Ning Mingjie abandon the third prince to choose the second prince?

Alright, perhaps one of the reasons was because the third prince had slept with Ning Mingjie's newly wedded wife. But, he could have also chosen to help the first prince, ah.

”The second prince is honest and kind-hearted. And, he's still a prince.” Ning Mingjie smiled. ”Besides, I think he's the princess's type.”

Yeah right. Didn't Ning Yuxuan say that the princess likes warriors? Zhao Li wasn't strong enough to carry anything, much less use a sword. He couldn't even stand up to walk. Why would Pengyue...

Ji Man sulkily lowered her head. Unless it was love at first sight, there was no way that Pengyue would choose the second prince after a.n.a.lyzing the advantages and disadvantages.

In the neighboring private room.

Pengyue clicked her tongue and examined the second prince for a long time before shaking her head and asking, ”Why do you think I'll agree to your proposal?”

Zhao Li lightly said, ”Because the conditions I can give you are the best.”

He had asked her to marry him and promised to do his best in caring for her for a lifetime, fulfilling her every wish, and giving her the best of everything. If she ever became unhappy with anything, she could divorce him.

This was truly the most groundbreaking proposal that a man could offer in this time period.

Feeling quite interested, Pengyue asked, ”Do you really need me?”

”En, I really need you.” Zhao Li pursed his lips and added, ”If you don't want to agree, then I won't pursue you any further. After all, no women would want to marry a cripple.”

Pengyue giggled. ”Give me time to consider this.”

Zhao Li slightly froze. He raised his head and looked at her. ”Your Highness, it's already pretty good that you're willing to consider me.”

Watching him, Pengyue asked, ”When I saw you in the military training field yesterday, why did you turn around and leave?”

She had been brooding over this matter all night. Although it wasn't a big deal, she kept dreaming about his back figure as he wheeled himself away. It had looked so lonely and helpless.

”Because, even if I had come closer, I wouldn't know what to say.” Zhao Li turned his face to the side. ”The other two princes are competing for you. It's a pity that they already have princess consorts.”

”So that makes you're the most suitable one?” In a moment of impatience and interest, Pengyue used her whip to tilt up his chin.

Zhao Li slightly frowned. There was a hint of scornful anger in his eyes for being inspected like this. ”Your Highness, take your time to consider. This one will leave first.”

What a surly personality.
