A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The three words "fiancé" were like a thunderclap, making Chen Shijun's head buzz. He took a step back dejectedly, and the pain on his face became even more intense.

"Yingzi, can I talk to you alone for a few words?"

After a while, Chen Shijun spoke.

Yingzi was not a person who would drag her feet. Since she and Chen Shijun had already parted ways, there was nothing else to say, so she refused outright.

"I'm sorry, Master Chen, I can't."

When Chen Shijun saw Yingzi's resolute face and heard her cold words, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, then I wish you happiness, Yingzi."

Chen Shijun slowly turned around and walked away. His back looked lonely and pitiful.

Han Qingshan didn't let go of Yingzi's hand. Yingzi turned around and smiled at him, saying, "If you have anything to ask, I can tell you."

Han Qingshan shook his head and said softly: "No, as long as you stay by my side in the future."

Yingzi blushed and nodded, "Yes, thank you."

Zhao Yifeng was very happy to see Shen Qingqian and didn't care about other people's affairs at all.

He asked, "Shen Qingqian, how did you offend those women?"

Shen Qingqian said helplessly: "I didn't provoke them, they came to trouble me. By the way, I just heard the woman in green clothes call you cousin, who is she?"

Zhao Yifeng glanced in the direction of Zhao Xing'er and said with disdain, "She is my seventh uncle's daughter, her name is Zhao Xing'er."

"Seventh uncle? King Xiaoyao? I remember you said before that King Xiaoyao was sent back to his fiefdom because he accidentally injured the crown prince. How come his daughter is still here?"

Zhao Yifeng said: "Well, Zhao Xing'er didn't go with them. She stayed in the capital."

Shen Qingqian asked: "Then she is the princess?"

Zhao Yifeng shook his head. "She is just a concubine's daughter, and is not qualified to be named a princess. Even her sister, Princess Minghua, was named a princess because of her marriage."

Shen Qingqian was surprised. "You mean Princess Minghua who was sent to the northern border to marry three years ago?"

"Yes, she is also the daughter of my seventh uncle. Both sisters are concubines. But Minghua is a good person, well-educated, kind and sensible, much better than Zhao Xing'er."

Zhao Yifeng said, then revealed a look of regret, and added: "It's a pity that such a good girl was pushed out by the Seventh Prince to marry, and finally lost her life in Beirong."

Shen Qingqian was a little puzzled. "Isn't the choice of the bride decided by the emperor? Could it be that Prince Xiaoyao took the initiative to push his daughter out?"

Zhao Yifeng said, "My father had been slow to decide on a candidate for marriage, and it was the Seventh Imperial Uncle who took the initiative to suggest that Minghua go."

"Why is that? Isn't he deliberately sending his daughter to her death? Could it be that Minghua is not his biological daughter?"

Zhao Yifeng smiled sarcastically and said, "At that time, everyone thought that the Seventh Uncle was sacrificing himself for the country and was willing to sacrifice his daughter in exchange for national peace. Because of this, he received a lot of rewards.

But I later learned that this was not the case.”

"Are you saying that King Xiaoyao has other purposes for doing this?"

Zhao Yifeng nodded and suddenly asked, "Did you meet Nangong Hao when you went to the North this time?"

Shen Qingqian was stunned. What did this mean? Why did it involve Nangong Hao?

However, she still nodded and said, "I see!"

Zhao Yifeng said, "Before Minghua went to marry, she and Nangong Hao were in love with each other and had even decided to spend their lives together. The Seventh Prince strongly opposed it, but Minghua was very determined and said that she would not marry anyone else but Nangong Hao."

"You mean, just because of this, King Xiaoyao let his daughter go to marry? But, I think Nangong Hao is a good guy! Why doesn't King Xiaoyao agree? Why is he so cruel?"

The mockery on Zhao Yifeng's face became even more intense, and he said, "Because Nangong Hao is the Crown Princess's biological brother, the Nangong family naturally supports the Crown Prince."

Shen Qingqian understood that the relationship between Prince Xiaoyao and Concubine Dong was very close, so he should stand on the side of the Second Prince. The Second Prince wanted to compete for that position, so he was naturally hostile to the Crown Prince. Therefore, Prince Xiaoyao firmly opposed his daughter marrying Nangong Hao.

Since his daughter was disobedient, he pushed her out to marry him. This not only blocked his daughter's relationship with Nangong Hao, but also enabled him to use the marriage to gain other benefits and gain a good reputation.

Shen Qingqian felt a chill and didn't know whether to comment on the deep love and loyalty between Prince Xiaoyao and Concubine Dong, or to lament his ruthlessness towards his own daughter?

Then Zhao Yifeng said, "After Minghua went to marry, Nangong Hao asked the emperor for permission to go to the northern border to serve as an official."

Shen Qingqian was even more shocked. "Are you saying that the reason why Nangong Hao became the prefect of Longshengcheng was because of Princess Minghua?"

Zhao Yifeng nodded, "Yes! With Nangong Hao's family background and talent, he would have a bright future if he stayed in the capital. But he asked to go to the bitter cold borderland just to be closer to Minghua. He probably hoped that if Minghua could come back from Beirong one day, he could pick her up as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Minghua will never come back. I guess Nangong Hao must be very sad when he heard the news! "

Shen Qingqian recalled the scene when she met Nangong Hao, but she didn't see anything. I didn't expect that in the ancient times of three wives and four concubines, there was such a love that lasted until death. It was a pity that the lovers could not get married and finally separated by Yin and Yang!

Zhao Yifeng seemed to feel that this topic was a bit boring, so he changed the subject and said, "Shen Qingqian, you know what? Actually, I should have waited until the palace banquet started and arrived with my brothers. I heard that you were also coming to the palace banquet, so I came here early, just to find you. How about it, are we good friends?"

Seeing that Zhao Yifeng didn't want to talk about these things anymore, Shen Qingqian also cooperated and said, "I'm touched! I'm so honored to be treated differently by the Sixth Prince!"

Even though he knew that Shen Qingqian was deliberately teasing him, Zhao Yifeng was still very happy.

However, he seemed to remember something and said, "Shen Qingqian, why didn't you ask me to go with you to the Northern Territory? I can also help fight those Northern Rong bandits!"

Shen Qingqian said: "You are a prince, how can I take you to such a dangerous place? If anything goes wrong, I can't afford it!"

Zhao Yifeng curled his lips and said, "In the final analysis, you still don't treat me as a friend!"

Shen Qingqian said she felt wronged and was about to explain. But Zhao Yifeng changed the subject and said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you about this matter for now. Tell me what happened in the North Territory! It must have been thrilling and exciting, right?"

Shen Qingqian nodded and said, "Yes! However, I can't finish talking about this matter in one go. Let's wait until the palace banquet is over, and then I'll find a time to talk to you slowly!"

"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow. I heard that my father gave you a house, so I'll go take a look."

"Okay, then I'll treat you to hot pot tomorrow."
