After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

After Xie Heng spoke passionately, he was in no mood to argue with Qin Hengye any more, and got up straight to go out, only wanting to wander around Wuninghou's mansion.

He was the most respected among all the people present, and he insisted on not being accompanied by anyone, but no one dared to refute, only Yun Zhou followed quietly behind him.

Just as Xie Heng turned a corner, he heard a few strange noises, and someone came out of the window with a strong figure.It seems that the direction of the person came out from the inner room of the main house.

Xie Heng's heart tightened, he stopped, and his eyes quickly scanned around.

The defense of the Marquis of Wuning's Mansion is really lax, and he himself has given enough face for the face of the "Yue family" in the future, so there are no guards around him right now.

"Several strong men, here's to-" Xie Heng hadn't finished his thoughtless sentence when he saw the leader turned his head, revealing a chiseled and jade-like face.

In a flash, the two people behind also saw clearly.

The man behind Qin Ye with a shocked face looks somewhat similar to Qin Ye, but his appearance is more mature. He is wearing the official uniform of a fourth-rank military general, and his identity cannot be more obvious.

The last one was an old acquaintance - the prince almost regarded his father-in-law and eldest son as gangsters, Lu Yanhe followed with a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't exist.

Xie Heng took a closer look at the scene before him, and said with difficulty: "Grandpa doesn't go through the front door in his own house, but..." Jumping up and down the wall?

He glanced at Qin Ye's side who was clearly the elder brother Qin Ye, and said hesitantly, "I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Wuning has been in the army for generations, and the family education is strict and martial arts. Is this a family rule?"

Otherwise, how do you explain that these two brothers climbed over the wall together to get in and out?

It's fine for Qin Ye, a person who doesn't value dogma at first glance, why does his elder brother who doesn't have much sense follow him?

The crown prince asked, Qin Ye was fine, but Qin Shuo blushed, and quickly replied: "Your Highness, this is not a family rule among the courtiers, it is really a coincidence..."

Qin Ye couldn't listen any longer, so he glared at Qin Shuo, and cut off the conversation: "It's just that I heard His Highness is coming, and I'm afraid that the family won't be able to deal with it properly, so..."

Qin Ye originally thought that there was nothing to hide from this, and he was not afraid that the prince would take advantage of it to get angry, so to be honest, it was fine.

In the middle of talking, he remembered, what was he planning to climb over the wall to eavesdrop in the back room so excitedly?

Especially now that it is known that the prince is here to propose marriage to him.

A scene unconsciously appeared in Qin Ye's mind.

The ladies look at their husbands and sons-in-law, Gaotang is in front, and the son-in-law who comes to see each other talks eloquently, the lady hides behind the screen, eavesdropping shyly and timidly...

Qin Ye's face turned dark unconsciously.

He stopped talking halfway through, Xie Heng was not in a hurry, and stood there relaxed and freehand.

Qin Shuo on the side was in a hurry.

Qin Shuo couldn't figure out what was wrong with Qin Ye. Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in public in the main house that "I love you so much." He was lucky, but when he turned his head, the Crown Prince caught him looking through the window of his house without even giving a reason. , In other words, I will stop talking if my face is half black.

Even if the husband and wife have been loving each other for many years, it seems a little too confident, let alone this one and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have not even said anything?

The more anxious Qin Shuo became, the more he stared at Qin Ye.

His sense of presence was so strong that Qin Ye noticed him immediately in a daze.

Qin Ye's face is still not very good-looking, of course he will not attack Xie Heng, but turned to look at Qin Shuo: "Brother, is there anything else?"

He had never called Qin Shuo "big brother" in several lifetimes. When the protracted salutation sounded, Qin Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and goose bumps all over his body.

Before he had time to deal with it, Qin Ye raised an extremely false smile: "I haven't seen Your Highness for several days, and I have to talk to each other today. If there is nothing wrong with the elder brother, why not..."

"After the matter here is over, I will talk to my eldest brother and father about the relationship between father and son."

Mutual... exchanging heartfelt feelings? !

Qin Shuo didn't have time to comprehend the threatening meaning in Qin Ye's words, he was already stunned by the sentence of "exchanging heartfelt heartfelt words" and couldn't move his feet for a long time.

At the critical moment, Qin Ye glanced around, and Lu Yanhe, who had been pretending that he didn't exist, rushed out immediately and made a gesture of please.

The surroundings finally quieted down.

Xie Heng looked at the figures of the two walking away one after the other, and then looked at the still unsightly expression of the person beside him, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

He already knew what this man was doing just now.

In the book, eavesdropping can basically be counted as Qin Ye's passive skill. This person has high martial arts, strong internal strength and excellent hearing ability.

Not to mention, it looks like it was done proactively.

Didn't this person hear the few words he just said to disgust Qin Hengye and save face for Qin Ye?

What's 'I want to marry Yuzhi only because I love Yuzhi', what's 'everything is based on Yuzhi's opinion'...

Xie Heng took a deep breath, his face was a little red.

Qin Ye on the side finally regained his basic rationality after he finally regretted the previous thought of "my lady looks at her husband and son-in-law".

He looked up at Xie Heng.

Today Xie Heng was wearing the moon-white prince's regular clothes, the inside was thin, not wrapped in three layers like the last time we met.

As if aware of the sweeping gaze, the prince tilted his head slightly while standing in the wind by the corridor, his exquisite and impeccable face was slightly rosy, but it did not damage the grace and elegance that was almost carved into the marrow of his body.

Qin Ye's heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.

He thought to himself, it's not like he hasn't seen the prince before, why can't he remember such a temperament and demeanor?

It took a while for Qin Ye to remember the draft he had just typed up in the inner room, and said a little bluntly: "I have already known about the marriage discussion. Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I really can't agree to this marriage."

He frowned and tried to explain in distress: "How can there be a high-ranking official in the capital of Mantang who is in his twenties and has not yet married? This minister is not asking Daqiao, nor is he deliberately delaying, but he is really not in the mood for love."

Xie Heng blinked, as if suddenly remembered something, pointed to himself and said: "It's not like there is nothing, Gu also has twenty-three."

Can that be the same!

The aristocratic families of the Qi Dynasty usually discuss marriage at the age of fourteen or fifteen. No matter how slow the three letters and six ceremonies go, it will be great if it is delayed until the age of seventeen or eighteen.

The prince Xie Heng is different. When the prince was 17 years old, the palace had already favored the princess. Before he could formally ask for an order, the queen at that time and the birth mother of the first prince passed away after years of suffering!

The crown prince kept his filial piety for three years according to the etiquette, and agreed to discuss his marriage after the coronation. The empress dowager who was about to celebrate her [-]th birthday in the palace passed away!

So the prince just came out of the filial piety period, and kept the filial piety for another three years.

This guard lasted until last month.

If it wasn't for the arrival of the Empress Dowager's filial piety, the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Rites would definitely not allow Xie Heng to come to propose marriage.

Qin Ye hadn't been in Tangjing for many years, so he didn't know all these things in detail, so he didn't know how to refute for a while, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness has sent people to give you meals many times in the past few days, and I am very grateful. It's just... Your Highness don't want to say things like 'every time you miss each other, you don't know each other'."

He had never done such a thing of refusing courtship in his life, and his expression was rather awkward and blunt, completely different from the time when he threatened his own brother with a cold expression just now.

Xie Heng almost didn't jump up.

"When did I say such a thing, don't stain people's innocence out of thin air!"

"Isn't it?" Qin Ye frowned, trying to repeat.

"The people in my mansion said that Eunuch Yun Zhou sent someone to the mansion to deliver a message, saying that after the day of farewell, His Royal Highness often misses each other, but it seems that it has been a long time since we don't see each other for a day."

"The people in the mansion said, and Eunuch Yun Zhou also said that rumors in Beijing are unruly, which will damage the reputation of the minister. His Highness will not come to the minister's house in the past few days. But His Highness is working hard to find a way to get along with the minister every day. See you, regardless of each other."

Xie Heng: "..."

He remembered.

Since he decided to build a good relationship with Qin Ye last time, Donggong has made a lot of efforts, one of which is to give meals to the Duke's Mansion three times a day without missing a meal.

Once, as usual, the small kitchen came to take a look at the things that were going to be delivered, and when Gu Mingzhao was there, the servant told Yun Zhou: "Go in person, and take a few words of care for Duke Ding on the way, and just say that His Royal Highness cares about him." , let him take care of himself."

I don't know which version was passed to Qin Ye's ears, it was so distorted...

Xie Heng looked at Qin Ye who was repeating the book seriously with a headache, and felt that he might not be able to explain clearly for a while.

He changed the subject bluntly: "This marriage proposal was Gu Mingzhao's idea. Now there are rumors about you and me everywhere in Beijing. It's better to be honest. It's better than the day when the father became interested and gave Gu a dissatisfaction." marriage."

"Ding Guogong let his own temperament do it. If you want to reject it, you will reject it. If you have to find faults, you will find faults. It's best to delay for a while."

"As for what Gu said in the main room just now, everything is based on Yuzhi's meaning, and it is not a lie."

"In the future, if Duke Ding doesn't want to, all of this will not count."

Qin Ye and him looked at each other, and in a blink of an eye, he had already withdrawn his attention from "every time we love each other, regardless of each other".

He is not someone who sits in the mansion and has no news.

The meaning of the prince is obvious. The last time we met, when the King of Jin heard the news and stayed overnight, there were too many rumors, and it was difficult to end it.

The prince knew that he was definitely not willing, but he hoped that he could cooperate with the marriage negotiation process and delay it for a while...

It has long been said that the emperor wants to give the prince an unsatisfactory marriage, but the marriage of the crown prince of a country cannot be settled with a word.

Unless... what will happen in the year or two that drags out?

After the two of them finished what they had to say, Qin Ye went to the main house again, and when he left the mansion again, his gloomy face finally relaxed a bit.

On the carriage, Qin Ye, who had kept his eyes closed all the time, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "The rumors about me and the crown prince in Tangjing recently are indeed the means of the Jin Palace?"

Lu Yanhe, who followed his father-in-law to look through the window, replied: "Our people went to investigate, and it is true."

Qin Ye closed his eyes again, and said, "Then let someone go and make trouble for King Jin. I'm not afraid of the crown prince's tricks."

There was silence again in the carriage.

It was Lu Yanhe who was tickled by Qin Ye's words, hesitated for a while, couldn't hold back, and asked, "My lord, what do you think about today's incident?"

Qin Ye asked suspiciously, "Why do you think so?"

Lu Yanhe was a little timid, but remembering the heroic speech made by the crown prince at the Marquis of Wuning today, he still mustered up his courage and said: "My lord, although the last time His Royal Highness the crown prince came to our house to hand over the marriage certificate seemed not sincere enough, but this time the crown prince I personally went to beg the empress, and invited the old prince of the clan, the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the clan's mansion, which is much more sincere than last time. Or else..." Just obey?

There was no light in the carriage, Lu Yanhe didn't see Qin Ye suddenly opened his shocked eyes, and continued to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves you very much. You are 26 this year, and you once said in front of His Majesty that you only love men in your life. Why don't you think about it?"

"It's not that there is no such thing as an emperor forming a contract with a man in my dynasty, and it is not necessary to be a queen in the palace. After Emperor Zhongzong and King Qi Wen formed a contract, King Qi Wen personally led the army to the Beidi battlefield. This is also a good story... ..."

Qin Ye couldn't take it anymore, he pulled Lu Yanhe away, and began to carefully check the mental state of his confidant and beloved general.

After seeing this man's clear and sincere eyes, Qin Ye hesitated again.

There seems to be no problem, but why are people like this?

Qin Ye propped his chin and thought for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Did the crown prince send money to your house? Or...someone in your family is seriously ill and asks Doctor Guo for help?"
