Chapter 265: Public Rejection
The queen wants to marry Long Yuanxiu, precisely because Long Yuanxiu has no sweetheart now. With the emperor's love for him, if he knew that he had a sweetheart, he would definitely not let the queen marry Long Yuanxiu.
Deputy Envoy Chen and his daughter returned to their seats. The queen clapped her hands twice, and then some of the palace ladies brought the food.
Seeing these foods, Zhuang Mingyue suddenly had an idea, you must know that she is a woman with advanced ideas in the 21st century, and there is nothing she can't do.
"Come, my dear, taste this fruit, it looks fresh."
Seeing Zhuang Mingyue's abnormal appearance, Long Yuanxiu was very confused. Although he didn't know what Zhuang Mingyue meant by dear, he could know from her tone and expression that this must not be an ordinary title.
Long Yuanxiu, who is usually arrogant, was very obedient this time, and directly let him eat the fruit.
The ministers and ladies watching from the sidelines were dumbfounded. I didn't expect Zhuang Mingyue to be so bold as to dare to make such a move above the court.
And the emperor saw her. I think this little girl is very interesting, but she doesn't look like a young lady from any family.
Not only that, Zhuang Mingyue also kept pouring water for Long Yuanxiu's vegetables, and the actions between the two seemed to be very intimate. All this was also seen by Long Zhengning.
Deputy Envoy Chen, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't sit still, "Your Majesty, I have long heard that His Royal Highness is very idle. It's just that I didn't expect to bring a maid to such a serious occasion. ”
Deputy Envoy Chen didn't know Zhuang Mingyue, so his words were naturally unceremonious. He just felt that his daughter had just been betrothed to His Second Highness, and now that person was in close contact with his maid, which was really inappropriate.
Hearing this, Long Yuanxiu also quickly stood up, "Vice Envoy Chen's words are serious. And the one next to me is not a maid, but the often famous Zhuang Mingyue. ”
Although Zhuang Mingyue had been a female official before, she rarely showed up. And the shops that she opened when she was in the folk rarely came forward, so many people didn't know what she looked like.
Vice Envoy Chen was shocked at first, and then regained his composure, "Then Your Highness shouldn't have kissed me and me in the lobby after having a marriage contract with the little girl." ”
Hearing his words, Long Yuanxiu first snorted coldly, and then asked rhetorically, "Deputy Envoy Chen, when did I agree to this marriage." ”
Deputy Chen was trembling with anger, Long Yuanxiu really didn't say a word just now, and didn't agree to this marriage. "This is the Queen's marriage. The queen's order is the emperor's order, and you dare to disobey the emperor's order, Your Royal Highness! ”
Long Yuanxiu did not continue to pay attention to this deputy envoy Chen, who was immersed in his own world, but turned his head and explained to the emperor, "Father, I guess you also saw it just now. Miss Zhuang and I are very happy, and I didn't want to participate in this marriage from the beginning. ”
The queen wanted to say something, but when she turned her head to look at the emperor, she found that the emperor was not as angry as she imagined, but smiled happily.
"It turns out that this is Miss Zhuang. I've heard rumors about her a long time ago, and when I saw her today, she was really smart and witty. ”
Hearing the emperor praise her, Zhuang Mingyue also quickly stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Deputy Envoy Chen only realized at this time that he was being used by the queen. But if his daughter was withdrawn from the marriage contract like this, wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the world when it was spread.
The emperor also saw the unwillingness of Deputy Envoy Chen, and he also knew that the Zhuang family was actually relatively famous in the business world and basically did not engage in politics. Therefore, Zhuang Mingyue's identity is very ordinary, "It's really not good, you can marry the daughter of Deputy Envoy Chen as a concubine." ”
As soon as Zhuang Mingyue wanted to say something, Long Yuanxiu stood up, "Father, the daughter of Vice Envoy Chen is indeed a very good girl, but the son of the minister has a heart. Marrying the daughter of Deputy Envoy Chen like this will not delay her for a lifetime. ”
Seeing Long Yuanxiu's determination, the emperor had no choice but to sigh helplessly. Agreed to cancel the farcical finger marriage.
After returning to her seat, Zhuang Mingyue smiled happily at Long Yuanxiu. And Long Yuanxiu also responded with a smile in response.
And all this that happened was seen by Long Zhengning. As soon as Zhuang Mingyue came in just now, his eyes kept moving with Zhuang Mingyue.
Long Yuanxiu hadn't appeared for so long, he always thought that Long Yuanxiu had been eliminated. But I didn't expect the two of them to appear here together.
If you want to stay during this time, you must have been staying with Zhuang Mingyue all the time. He was very dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that the queen must deal with Long Yuanxiu for a while, so he let go of the resentment in his heart first.
originally thought that this queen's marriage could completely break up the two of them. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two of them was further enhanced.
Thinking like this, Long Zhengning began to be jealous. But the emperor has already said that this matter is over, and he can't do anything about the marriage.
He didn't care much about the world, but he suddenly began to hate the world in his heart. Originally, he and Zhuang Mingyue were from the same world, and the two of them were talented and beautiful, they were simply a match made in heaven.
Now that this is the case, it is Long Yuanxiu who is in the way, and the two of them will part ways. The more Long Zhengning thought about it, the more he hated it, and he began to think of a way to get rid of this thorn in his eye.
The matter was not happy. Except for Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue, they all had dissatisfaction in their hearts. But I couldn't say anything.
Back in the palace room, Zhuang Mingyue sat on the chair, very happy in her heart, "Have you seen the queen like that, it's really sour." Tell her to deserve it, it's okay to find trouble. ”
Long Yuanxiu smiled, although he still couldn't understand what she said too much, he could still understand the meaning.
"Don't rejoice too soon. If this is a mess today, there will be a lot of people coming to us for trouble, so you have to be prepared. ”
What he said was reasonable, but Zhuang Mingyue didn't take it to heart, "It's okay, the two of us will work together and we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties together." ”
Seeing her smile, no matter how much she taught Long Yuanxiu, she couldn't say anything. He took two steps up, came to Zhuang Mingyue, and hugged her.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was hugged, was stunned for a moment, her body was a little stiff, and then she kept twisting, "Let go of me, it's so awkward." ”
But Long Yuanxiu didn't pay any attention to her refusal. It was not easy for him to catch Zhuang Mingyue again, if he let her run away like this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Don't move, or I don't know what I'm going to do." After speaking, Zhuang Mingyue really didn't move, blushing shamefully. She understood what Long Yuanxiu meant by this.
She felt the person behind her blow softly in her ear, "Does what you said before still count?" ”
"What?" Zhuang Mingyue pretended to be stupid, she didn't want this second highness, who was usually arrogant, to gain the upper hand
"That's what you said before, when I get better, I'll talk about our marriage contract."
Zhuang Mingyue just nodded, but did not do it specifically, but Long Yuanxiu already understood what she meant in her heart.
In the next few days, Zhuang Mingyue still ran to her store as usual. Long Yuanxiu secretly dealt with some of his own affairs.
On this day, Zhuang Mingyue was busy in the store, and when she saw Long Zhengning coming to the store from a distance, she quickly hid in the house.
Long Zhengning came in, first looked around, and found that Zhuang Mingyue was not there, "What about your boss?" ”
The little second looked up, thinking that Long Zhengning was looking for the steward, so he went to the house and called the steward Lao Liu out.
"This son, I'm the boss here, look at what you need." Lao Liu rubbed his hands and looked at the other party's clothes, obviously a big customer.
However, Long Zhengning frowned, and his tone was also a little angry, "I'm looking for Miss Zhuang." ”
Lao Liu didn't expect that this personable-looking son was here to find Miss, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, "Childe... This... Miss Zhuang is not there. Whatever you need, I'll go to Curry to find it for you. ”
But what didn't make people just arrive was that Long Zhengning sat directly on the chair in the room, "If your boss doesn't come, I'll be waiting for her here." ”
The atmosphere in the store was very awkward for a while. Zhuang Mingyue originally wanted to just go out like this, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what this Long Zhengning was thinking, and if she went out rashly like this, she was afraid that she would fall into the trap of the other party.
Long Zhengning has really been waiting there, but there is a benefit. Because of his handsome face, many young ladies and women in the capital room came to Zhuang Mingyue's shop room in order to see her beauty, which increased her sales a lot.
Time passed quickly, and it was evening in a flash. Long Zhengning, who had been waiting for a day, did not look tired at all.
"Childe, our shop is closing, don't wait. Doesn't that make it difficult for us? ”
Lao Liu walked up, thinking that if he said this, Long Zhengning would leave. didn't expect the other party to still squeak, just sat there quietly.
In desperation, Zhuang Mingyue walked out of the back room. In terms of perseverance, he really admires Long Zhengning.
"You're finally willing to come out. I thought I'd be staying here tonight. ”
This sentence clearly had a ridiculous tone, but Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to deal with him, and her eyes were full of indifference, "What do you want to do when you come to my store today?" ”
Long Zhengning's posture looked very relaxed, as if he was in his own palace, and he squinted at Lao Liu.
"Lao Liu, you go back first." Seeing that he had been sandwiched between the two of them, Lao Liu, who was very embarrassed, was relieved and hurriedly packed his things and went home.
"Didn't you avoid me all the time? Why did you suddenly come out to see me today? ”
What makes her willing to come out. If it weren't for Long Zhengning sitting here for a day, and it would affect the business of his shop, Zhuang Mingyue really wanted him to sleep on the street.
"If it's okay, please go out, I'm going to close the shop." With that, she turned and closed the door at the gate.
Who knew that Long Zhengning came up in three or two steps and grabbed her.
