The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Outside the door, Wu Yong was guarded by several soldiers. He did not look panicked, but when he saw her come out, he lowered his eyes.

Ishihara Qing, who was following closely behind her, saw this and sneered, "Six concubines are not enough. When did you keep this one?"

Xie Anning herself didn't react to such jealous words, but Chen Ziyu, who was standing under the eaves, heard it and the corners of his lips twitched. He coughed softly and said, "Madam Xie, please stay. I've taken the person away. If it's not related to the case, I will definitely send him back to you within three days."

Xie Anning smiled slightly and said "OK", "Master Chen, take care."

As for Ishihara Kyo standing beside her, she simply ignored him.

If she treated the other party warmly despite his being so rude, she would be truly unworthy of her pride.

Chen Ziwei and Ishihara Qing were nearly ten years apart in age and did not work in the same government office, but the relationship networks among the major aristocratic families in the capital were complex and intertwined, and after a hundred years of intermarriage, each family had some connection.

Both of them were from prominent families and had similar personalities, so they had a close personal relationship.

On this side, just after leaving the Xie family's gate, Chen Ziqi said, "Brother Shi has lost his composure today."

Ishihara Qing paused and looked a little regretful.

Chen Ziwei was right.

Even "ungracious" is an understatement; the correct word should be "harsh".

What does "six concubines are not enough" mean?

What does it mean when someone says 'Sixteen years of youth ended up in a divorce and returning home'?

She is a woman who was just kicked out by her husband's family and has not yet recovered from the pain. What he said is like rubbing salt into her wounds.

He, he...just felt a little upset after hearing about those male favorites.

especially……

Ishihara Qing looked at Wu Yong who was being escorted by soldiers behind him, and looked him up and down.

Older than him.

Not as handsome as him.

He was just a security guard in a private residence.

To ordinary people, such conditions might be considered good, but in the eyes of a noble family like Ishihara Qing who is used to seeing brilliant people, Wu Yong exudes an air of mediocrity just like his name.

The woman had her eyes on Young Master Wang, who was once famous in the capital and had unparalleled talent throughout history.

Even if you were blind, you wouldn't choose such a mediocre person.

Even if you have to choose, you should look at those who are determined to compete with Wang Shaofu...

Ishihara Qing's face turned red for no apparent reason.

He suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Chen's reminder is correct. I am indeed not graceful enough. I will go back and apologize to Madam Xie in person. You don't have to wait for me."

After saying this, without caring about the reactions of Chen Ziwei and the subordinates around him, he turned around and knocked on the door of Xie's house again.

Chen Ziwei was just stunned for a moment, then laughed.

What is there not to understand?

Although he is young, he has a deep understanding of the word love.

It seems that the reason why the youngest son of the Shi family has not yet married despite being nearly thirty years old has been found.

It turns out to be the same as him.

However, his sweetheart will always be out of reach in this life.

And Ishihara Qing, after waiting for so many years, finally saw the light.

Thinking about yesterday, I realized all the impolite things I did.

Chen Ziwei smiled bitterly, closed his eyes suddenly, grasped the reins, exerted force on his waist, jumped on the horse, and galloped away.

At Xie's house, the door that had just been closed was opened again.

Ishihara Qing walked to the main courtyard as if he was familiar with the route.

Xie An Ning was standing under the eaves, feeling a little worried because Wu Yong was taken away. Wu Yong was in charge of all the big and small matters in the family. When he was thinking about promoting a few confidants to take charge, a slender figure who had left and returned appeared in front of him.

"Master Shi? ...What did you leave behind?"

"...Not really," Ishihara Qing's voice was a little hoarse, "I just wanted to tell you that what I said just now did not mean to accuse you of being unfaithful to your wife."

Xie Anning was stunned, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

The slightly desolate courtyard was covered with silver. The heavy snow in the capital this year was particularly resilient, falling intermittently and never stopping.

At this moment, snowflakes began to fall slowly.

One of them stood under the eaves above a few steps, and the other stood in the courtyard. One lowered his eyes, and the other raised them, and their eyes met.

It was quiet except for the sound of servants sweeping the snow.

And this young man just stood in the courtyard, letting the snowflakes fall on his shoulders, looking up at her without blinking, "Xie Anning, do those words from long ago still count?"

Those words from long, long ago...

Xie Anning's face was dull.

What words are valid or not?

A long time ago, the handsome and elegant Vice Minister of Justice in front of her, dressed in an official robe, used to call her Sister An Ning.

"You don't admit it?" Ishihara Qing's expression faded, and he reminded: "Tell me, if I were the same age as Wang Shaofu, would you consider marrying me?"

Xie Anning: “…”

She had a blank expression on her face and even suspected that this person was deliberately playing a trick on her.

After carefully looking at him for a long time and not seeing any clues, he said stiffly, "Are you serious?"

"What's the meaning!"

Ishihara Qing exploded, his calm eyes suddenly turned fierce, "Are you deliberately teasing me?"

"No, no!" Xie Anning shook his head repeatedly.

She actually said that.

only…

"I didn't mean to play tricks on you." Thinking of the past, Xie An Ning rubbed his face and said in a daze, "You were only ten years old at that time, and you insisted on not letting me get engaged. You pestered me to give you a reason. I just said it casually, and you..."

The rest of the words disappeared under the suddenly red eyes of the young man in front of him.

Can't say it anymore.

Is he really serious?

Xie Anning still couldn't believe it.

The Xie family is now in decline, but when her father was alive, it was still one of the most prominent noble families in the capital. The old general was also a heroic person with a wide range of friends. He was a sworn brother of Ishihara Qing's father.

As the youngest son of a family of civil officials, Ishihara Qing has been fond of military training and martial arts since he was a child, and he loves to visit the Xie family.

He is five years younger than Xie An Ning, and Xie An Ning is the only daughter in the family, with no brothers or sisters. Suddenly, a delicate and naughty little boy appeared, and she really treated him as her younger brother.

As a result, Wang Shaofu also treated him as his younger brother.

After she came of age, her marriage was put on the agenda. At that time, Wang Shaofu was good in every way and treated her sincerely. They loved each other. For the sake of their daughter's happiness, her parents gave up the idea of ​​finding a son-in-law and agreed to marry her to Wang Shaofu.

As a result, the boy, who was only ten years old at the time, ran to her with red eyes and asked her if he could wait until he grew up before getting married, saying that he would be no worse than Young Master Wang.

Xie An Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She just thought that he was reluctant to see his sister get married, and she was very moved.

That's why he asked those questions just now.

But, did he really take those words to heart?

Do you think the only difference between you and Wang Shaofu is age?
