"Isn't he a warrior who only knows how to fight and kill?" Pei Yuqing raised his hand to cover his heart.
But the look in his eyes just now seemed to see through all the thoughts in his mind.
Pei Yuqing felt scared from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Yanchen had been gone for a long time, and the dust on the road had already settled.
Pei Yuqing's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
When she returned to the real track and rode to the finish line, she saw Chu Yanchen whip the third prince off the horse with a whip.
"Ah——" Pei Yuqing took a breath and widened his eyes in shock.
Chu Yanchen still felt it was not enough, and whipped the third prince a few more times.
"Chu Yanchen! You, don't go too far! I am your brother!" the third prince shouted.
Chu Yanchen simply threw away the whip and jumped off the horse.
He punched the third prince in the face.
"Prince Jing! Your Highness Prince Jing! Calm down!"
The people around finally reacted and rushed forward to dissuade them.
But no one dared to stand in front, for fear of being affected by Prince Jing's anger.
"Collaborating with outsiders to plot against me? I don't have a brother like you!"
"If you don't agree, then go with me to my father and have a good talk with him!"
Chu Yanchen snorted coldly, jumped on his horse, and rode away.
Pei Yuqing watched him leave in amazement... Wasn't he so arrogant?
He actually dared to hit the prince in public, and the prince was the third prince who was older than him!
Doesn't he need to care about his reputation or influence at all?
The third prince was helped up from the ground. There was blood at the corner of his mouth and his jaw was aching so much that it seemed as if the bones were about to break.
The horse race ended unhappily.
Although Prince Jing's last words were not clear.
But if you use your toes, you can guess most of it.
Prince Jing and Princess Yuqing were originally running in the front, but in the end, they arrived last.
In the palace, Princess Yuqing had already expressed her feelings for Prince Jing.
The Third Prince's plan was a win-win for all.
But unfortunately, the person he designed was Prince Jing.
After everyone else left, Princess Yuqing returned.
"He won't budge," Pei Yuqing said with a sullen face. "I don't understand, what's so good about Song Mingli?"
"Is it worth it for him to refute me again and again and even beat up your own brother?"
Pei Yuqing's words immediately brought her and the third prince into the same camp.
They were all people who were bullied by Prince Jing.
The third prince had the same intention.
He snorted coldly, "The fourth child has such a bad temper. The most annoying thing is that the emperor likes his bad temper!"
The third prince sighed somewhat tiredly.
"It's hard to find flaws in him, so let's not mess with him. But you should meet Song Mingli."
Pei Yuqing turned to look at the Third Prince, "I want to see her?"
"Everything can defeat something else," the third prince curled his lips, "The fourth one is not easy to control, but I think Song Mingli has a way to deal with him."
"If Song Mingli changes his mind, we don't need to worry about the fourth brother at all."
Pei Yuqing frowned, "If Song Mingli is not a fool, she will not give up being the Princess of Jing now, right?"
What's more, she had already had a brief dealings with Song Mingli in the palace.
A married woman with children is not easy to deal with.
"You don't know her weaknesses, so you can't do anything to her." The third prince said, "Her father, General Song, is the most loyal and patriotic person, and he always puts justice first."
"When she thinks about the interests of her country and her family, she will surely remember her father's teachings."
The third prince looked at Pei Yuqing with a smile.
Pei Yuqing stared and thought for a moment.
The two men discussed in low voices for a while until their horses pranced out of the stable. They both left with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Song Mingli received the emperor's decree granting marriage the night before the envoy from Xili Kingdom arrived.
She looked at the imperial decree granting the marriage and secretly rejoiced.
She was not afraid that Chu Yanchen would change his mind. She was worried that the emperor would use his children's marriage as a form of alliance in order to establish good relations with the Xili Kingdom.
She was worried that the emperor would change his mind.
But once the imperial edict is issued, it is the emperor's face. Even if Pei Yuqing asks to marry him, the emperor is unlikely to give in.
Just as Song Mingli put away the imperial edict, Zi Su brought him an invitation.
"Princess Yuqing of Xili Kingdom invites you to the banquet." Zi Su said.
Song Mingli was slightly stunned, "She invited me to a banquet?"
"I'm afraid there won't be a good banquet." Zi Su frowned slightly, "How about we postpone it?"
Song Mingli smiled slightly, "The princess of a friendly country personally sent me an invitation, how can I not go? Wouldn't people laugh at us Beili people for being ignorant of etiquette?"
Zi Su frowned and thought for a moment, "Then ask Mo Lan and Nan Xing to follow as well."
Song Mingli shook his head, "No, Molan has other things to do, you and Nanxing come with me."
Pei Yuqing made an appointment at Qingyun Tower.
Qingyun Tower is secretly the property of the Third Prince, but not many people know about it.
Song Mingli also learned about it in his previous life after Gu Qingshan took refuge with the Third Prince.
Did Pei Yuqing choose this place intentionally or by coincidence?
Song Mingli arrived at Qingyun Tower a moment early.
There were a few tables of diners sitting in the lobby.
As soon as Song Mingli and the other two arrived, someone started staring at them secretly.
As Zi Su helped Song Mingli up the stairs, she whispered in her ear, "You don't look like a real diner."
Song Mingli nodded, "I'm afraid Pei Yuqing has already booked the entire Qingyun Building. These are all her people."
Zi Su frowned secretly, "We should ask Mo Lan to come."
"Don't let her be idle." Song Mingli said lightly.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the private room, the maid inside opened the door.
"Miss Song came quite early." Pei Yuqing sat in the main seat.
"It's so rude to ask Princess Yuqing to wait for me." Song Mingli bowed.
Pei Yuqing smiled and said, "I came early, I don't blame you, please sit down."
The maid pulled out a chair for Song Mingli, and Zi Su and Nan Xing stood on Song Mingli's left and right respectively.
Nanxing sniffed the smell in the room carefully.
Pei Yuqing always had a faint floral scent on her body, and she was worried that Pei Yuqing would tamper with the scent.
In addition to the fragrance, Nanxing was also paying attention to the tea the maid poured for Song Mingli and the food on the table.
"I have a few words to say. I want to talk to Miss Song alone."
Pei Yuqing said this and waved her hand to ask her maid to retreat.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Song Mingli brightly.
"You guys go wait for me outside the door too." Song Mingli looked at Nanxing.
Nanxing blinked at her and told her to be at ease.
Song Mingli nodded slightly, and Nanxing pulled Zisu out the door together.
"I know the reputation of General Song," Pei Yuqing said straight to the point, "He is a capable and wise general who is loyal to his country and the emperor!"
Song Mingli frowned slightly. Why did he suddenly mention her father?
"General Song was framed in that battle!" Pei Yuqing said confidently, "If you can get evidence that General Song was framed, you can clear your father's name."
"As long as you can clear General Song's name, you, the Song family, don't have to endure humiliation anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Song Mingli lowered his eyes calmly.
Seeing that she did not refute, Pei Yuqing continued, "If General Song were alive, he would definitely hope that the border would be stable and the people would live in peace."
"If we can achieve peace between the two states without fighting, I think General Song will be happy to see it happen, right?"
