Chapter 168: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Has No Vision (Part )
Su Liuyue had no idea what Zhou Yunke was thinking. She didn't even think about Yin Zhiping being struck out so suddenly. She was worried about how to explain the matter to Xue Lingwan when she returned.
Xue Lingwan, this little gossip girl, is determined to get to the bottom of the relationship between her and Zhou Yunke!
Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the room, Xue Lingwan, whose eyes were so hot that they seemed to burn her to a crisp, pounced on her like a hungry tiger, and excitedly pressed her against the door and screamed, "Oh my God, Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva! Cousin, you and the Crown Prince are actually... actually in that kind of relationship! Do you know that the Crown Prince is the dream lover of so many women in Daqing? If this matter gets out, you will definitely be assassinated, for sure!"
Su Liuyue was caught off guard by her spit all over her face. She silently pulled out the handkerchief from her waist and wiped it off. "What kind of relationship? Don't talk nonsense. The Crown Prince and I are just a pure superior-subordinate relationship. What did Er Si and Er An tell you?"
I'm afraid that before someone assassinates her, she will be drowned in her saliva.
"Even the relationship between superiors and subordinates is scary! It's hard for other women to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you, my cousin, see him every day! You must be envious of all the women in Daqing! And are you sure you are just a superior and subordinate relationship! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome, and my cousin is also beautiful and a master at solving crimes! Oh my God, I think they are a perfect match just by thinking about it!"
Su Liuyue felt that the light in Xue's eyes was about to shoot through her body, and her voice, which sounded like a dream, kept coming to her ears. "The future Crown Princess that everyone in Daqing is curious about will be my cousin! Then the Crown Prince will be my cousin's husband? If this gets out, I will definitely become the object of everyone's envy! Those who say behind my cousin's back every day that she doesn't know what's good for her and will never find a better husband than Zheng Jiulang in the future will probably be slapped in the face..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Su Liuyue's mouth couldn't twitch anymore, so she could only cover the chatterbox's mouth quickly and ruthlessly again, and deliberately put on a stern face and said, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never regarded me as an ordinary woman. Of course, I have never had that kind of thought about him. When the new Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin arrives, I will go my separate ways with him.
Please put away your messy thoughts. I, your cousin, am discussing marriage recently. If you have time to think about random things, why not help me find a better man?"
Xue Lingwan made an excited "Mmmmm" sound, with an expression that said "I'm not convinced and I want to refute."
Su Liuyue smiled coldly and used her trump card, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will instigate my aunt to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss marriage with me and help you find your future husband's family."
Yun has always been worried about Xue Lingwan's marriage.
It was just that Xue Lingwan had just come of age not long ago, and Su Liuyue was in a hurry, so the Yun family temporarily put Xue Lingwan's marriage on hold.
As soon as these words came out, it was like hitting a snake in its weakest part. Xue Lingwan's gossipy spirit was immediately extinguished, and the whole person quickly wilted.
She wants to enjoy a few more years at home!
My cousin is so mean!
Su Liuyue finally let go of her mouth with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Ersi and Er'an should have told you about the matter between His Royal Highness and I. I am too lazy to repeat it again. Now that you understand, go back to sleep..."
"No, cousin, does His Royal Highness really not have that kind of interest in you?"
Xue Lingwan reluctantly held Su Liuyue's hand and pouted, "The Crown Prince is so short-sighted. My cousin is so good. If I were a man, I would definitely ask to marry her. There's no way I would marry those men! In my opinion, none of those men are worthy of my cousin!"
Those men were not as good as her eldest and third brothers! She once questioned this, but A-niang said helplessly that her cousin had her own ideas and she was determined to find an ordinary husband's family, thinking that such a husband's family would not interfere with her life.
Xue Lingwan still had some girlish sentiments. She knew that her cousin had strong opinions and didn't want to find another husband or someone who also had strong opinions, but... this shouldn't be the only criterion for her cousin to choose a husband! Her cousin didn't like those men at all!
Is there no good man in this world that my cousin likes and can give her a vast world?
This little girl always speaks sweetly. Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile and said, "If you were a man, I would definitely marry you, but isn't it a pity that you are a woman?"
Xue Lingwan sighed quietly, as if it was really a pity.
Several maids standing by couldn't help laughing. At this moment, Er An finally found an opportunity to ask, "By the way, young lady, what is the matter that brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here so late? Has another case happened?"
"Not really. He came to tell me that Yin Zhiping has some issues and asked me to be careful."
It was not easy to tell them about the power struggles in the court, so Su Liuyue could only give a general answer.
Everyone was silent after hearing this, and couldn't help but exchange glances.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here late at night just to tell the girl that Yin Zhiping is not a man she can marry?
Are you really sure that the Crown Prince has no thoughts of that kind towards her?
However, Su Liuyue then demonstrated to them through her own actions that no matter whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had any feelings towards her, she definitely did not.
Xue Lingwan could only respect her cousin's wishes and keep the secret for her temporarily.
Su Liuyue didn't know how to tell Yun that she would no longer consider Yin Zhiping, so she could only tell Xue Wenjin that Yin Zhiping had surrendered to King Wei. Xue Wenjin frowned after hearing this, and finally sighed, patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to explain Yin Langjun's matter to mother."
He did think that Yin Zhiping was a very good person before, but... he only knew Yin Zhiping, his classmate. He felt a little unfamiliar with Yin Zhiping, who was leaving the academy and was about to enter the officialdom.
For the first time, he truly felt that life as a student was completely different from life in officialdom.
Su Liuyue also took the opportunity to ask him, "Third brother, I heard that you have received a lot of invitations recently, but you haven't attended any banquets or visited any families. What do you think?"
Although she was working for Zhou Yunke, she did not require the Xue family to follow Zhou Yunke.
This is because she respects them and believes that they have their own judgment. Even if they do not follow Zhou Yunke, they will certainly not follow the wrong person.
Xue Wenjin only smiled faintly and said, "I am just a person who has just gained fame and has not achieved any results yet. Others are too flattering me. Now, I just want to prepare for the upcoming Wenxi Banquet."
The Wenxi Banquet was the first time that they, as newly-minted Jinshi, faced the various dignitaries of Daqing.
After the Wenxi Banquet, their assigned positions will almost be decided.
Therefore, there is also a saying that the performance of the new scholars at the Wenxi Banquet may affect where they will go later.
Therefore, all the new scholars attached great importance to the Wenxi Banquet.
Su Liuyue nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "You should go on a flower parade that day. We will all go to support you. Third cousin, you should dress up nicely. Maybe my future cousin-in-law will be watching too!"
