After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 85 Dirty Words
Naturally, Bian Jingsheng was invited to have dinner together.
And this is also what Bian Jingsheng originally intended.
"King Zhongyi, back then you had only 130,000 troops fighting against 60,000 enemy troops at the border. I really admire you for that battle!" Shui Tingfeng's eyes were full of stars as he looked at Bian Jingsheng with admiration.
Bian Jingsheng looked at Shui Tingfeng suspiciously, and then Shui Tingfeng actually mentioned every battle of Bian Jingsheng one after another, with fanaticism in his eyes.
Zhu Qing'an then realized that his second cousin had long admired Bian Jingsheng and could tell you all the legends about him.
In Shui Tingfeng's heart, Bian Jingsheng is no different from the God of War.
He even wanted to attend the palace banquet this time because he wanted to meet the hero in his heart.
Bian Jingsheng looked coldly at the noisy Shui Tingfeng beside him, listening to Shui Tingfeng expressing his admiration for him.
"I heard that the Second Young Master Shui is still unengaged? Does he have a lover?" Bian Jingsheng suddenly asked, interrupting Shui Tingfeng's chattering. He was really afraid that Shui Tingfeng would continue and would even describe him as a god.
In fact, he was not as powerful as Shui Tingfeng said. Every victory in the battle was full of difficulties, and even countless soldiers lost their lives.
To others, those victories were medals of honor, but to Bian Jingsheng, they carried a weight that others could hardly fathom.
His friends, his subordinates, and those soldiers he had never remembered were all buried on the battlefield.
Shui Tingfeng thought that Bian Jingsheng's question was a sign of concern for him, and he became even more excited.
"I don't have any girl I like, and I'm not engaged!" Shui Tingfeng answered honestly.
Bian Jingsheng looked at Shui Tingfeng and could tell that he hadn't lied, and he felt a little relieved. He was worried that Shui Tingfeng would fall in love with Zhu Qingan, as they were cousins, something he couldn't compare to.
"I think the second young master is handsome and well-spoken. If there is a girl he likes, I am willing to act as a matchmaker!" Bian Jingsheng said with a hint of meaning, thinking to himself that if he had the chance, he would definitely arrange a marriage for Shui Tingfeng.
"Really? If so, it is really my honor! Thank you in advance, Your Highness!" Shui Tingfeng grinned happily.
After realizing that Shui Tingfeng was not his love rival, Bian Jingsheng no longer harbored any hostility.
"I heard that the princess will attend the palace banquet tomorrow?" Bian Jingsheng asked.
Zhu Qing'an nodded. Not only she but also the relatives of officials above the fifth rank will attend the palace banquet tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, Lord Shen will return to Ancheng, and I'm afraid he will also attend the palace banquet! You..." Bian Jingsheng looked at Zhu Qing'an's beautiful profile and spoke worriedly.
Even though he saw that Zhu Qing'an seemed to have let go of the past, he was still worried that Zhu Qing'an would be sad if she saw Shen Shixin.
Shui Tingfeng, who was standing nearby, pricked up his ears when he heard this. He also knew that his cousin was engaged, but now it seemed something was not right.
"Ancheng is so small, and Master Shen and I see each other every day. I can't just hide wherever Master Shen is in the future. I didn't do anything wrong, and Master Shen didn't do anything wrong either. It's just that he and I are not destined to be together. Let's part ways amicably, why make a fuss?" Zhu Qing'an looked at the seasonal vegetables in the bowl with a calm tone.
Bian Jingsheng was completely relieved when he saw Zhu Qing'an's attitude.
She is worthy of being raised by the Queen Mother. Most women don't have the mind and character of Zhu Qing'an. She can even be so rational after the relationship ends.
At this moment, Bian Jingsheng admired Zhu Qing'an. Even he might not have the same character as Zhu Qing'an.
"It's me. I underestimated the princess!" Bian Jingsheng stood up and actually bowed to Zhu Qing'an to apologize.
This scared Zhu Qing'an, and he quickly held onto Bian Jingsheng's strong arm and helped him up.
She hadn't expected Bian Jingsheng to be this way. In their previous interactions, she had already sensed that he respected women, unlike the men of today who often viewed women as subordinates. And the fact that Bian Jingsheng had humbled himself enough to apologize today made Zhu Qing'an look at him with even greater respect.
She looked at Bian Jingsheng's indifferent eyes and suddenly felt that Bian Jingsheng seemed to be a very good man, better than any man she knew.
"Princess, you'd better stay closer to me tomorrow!" Bian Jingsheng said with hints.
Zhu Qing'an also understood what Bian Jingsheng meant. It seemed that even Bian Jingsheng felt that the imperial concubine and the emperor had bad intentions.
Faced with the olive branch extended by Bian Jingsheng, Zhu Qing'an naturally would not refuse. After quietly expressing his thanks, the three of them had their meal, and Bian Jingsheng even personally wanted to send Zhu Qing'an back home.
However, Zhu Qing'an never expected that as soon as they went downstairs, they ran into the lady of the Shen family, Shen Shixin's mother, and the person standing next to her was Shen Shixin's cousin Fang Qing.
"Princess? Prince?" When Mother Shen saw the three of them, her expression instantly became somewhat displeased, but she could only salute reluctantly.
"Aunt and Miss Fang must be here for dinner, so we won't bother them anymore!" Zhu Qing'an said as he prepared to leave.
Before, she was very polite to Shen's mother because of her relationship with Shen Shixin. But now, she has realized that this Shen Shixin is not the same Shen Shixin, so she is naturally unwilling to deal with Shen's mother.
However, when Zhu Qingan wanted to leave, Shen's mother stopped her.
With just one glance, Bian Jingsheng knew that Shen's mother had come with ill intentions. Moreover, there were many guests in Guangju Building at that time. In order to prevent others from watching the fun, Bian Jingsheng gave Chuan Gu and the shopkeeper a look. The shopkeeper quickly and politely returned the money and respectfully invited the guests to leave.
Although some guests were unhappy, they also knew that there was a master behind Guangju Tower, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly.
"What do you mean, aunt?" Zhu Qing'an looked at Fang Qing who was blocking his way, with a cold expression on his face.
"Oh! My son used to live well in Ancheng, being a rich and noble young man. It was you who asked the Queen Mother to transfer my son to Chongzhou to do that hard job. He almost lost his life!" Mother Shen said, wiping the corners of her eyes, and then glared at Zhu Qing'an angrily. "Now my son has finally completed his job successfully, but you are so good, actually hanging out with other men all day long!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zhu Qing'an, but even Bian Jingsheng and Shui Tingfeng became angry. These words were simply slander.
"Where did you come from, you old woman! The moment you open your mouth, it stinks like a cesspool! If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. My cousin and I are in a legitimate relationship, so how can I tolerate your dirty talk!" Shui Tingfeng narrowed his eyes and started cursing.
Although Shui Tingfeng is a man, he has made friends with all kinds of people since he was a child. His ability to curse people made Shen's mother so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Cousin? What cousin needs to be together all day? I think they are having an affair! Poor cousin, I'm afraid he is cuckolded!" Fang Qing muttered in a low voice.
After hearing this, Shen's mother was even more furious and pointed at Zhu Qing'an, "The Shen family will not tolerate such an unfaithful woman. When my son comes back, I will definitely let him see it!"
"Mrs. Shen, you are wrong!" Bian Jingsheng directly grabbed Zhu Qing'an's arm and pulled her behind him. His tall body covered Zhu Qing'an tightly, as if no wind or rain could affect her at all.
"Could it be that Madam Shen thinks that there is something improper going on between the prince and the princess?" Bian Jingsheng just glanced at Shen's mother and Fang Qing. Bian Jingsheng, whose hands were stained with countless blood on the battlefield, frightened the two with just one look, and they dared not look at each other.
They dared to slander Zhu Qing'an and Shui Tingfeng only because one of them was a woman and the other was just a merchant's son. But Bian Jingsheng was a prince with real power, so how could they dare to act rashly?
"Mr. Shen's marriage to the princess is your Shen family marrying up. The princess is upright. But your Shen family has a cousin following them around all day long. I guess they're thinking of taking a concubine!" Bian Jingsheng said, glancing at Fang Qing. "A girl is spreading rumors and sending someone to a nunnery. Let her calm down!"
As soon as he said this, Chuan Gu grabbed Fang Qing and prepared to take him away.
Only then did everyone understand Bian Jingsheng's methods. He would not argue with you. With just one word, he could decide your future.
Fang Qing panicked now and quickly looked at Shen's mother for help, "Aunt, Aunt, please save me. I can't go to the nunnery! My life will be ruined if I go there! You promised me that you would let me be my cousin's concubine!"
Fang Qing's words made Zhu Qing'an realize that Shen's mother had such a plan.
She suddenly felt a little relieved that she had let go of Shen Shixin. If she really married Shen Shixin, with such a mother-in-law and a cousin who was eyeing her covetously, her future life would be full of trivialities.
"Your Highness..." Shen's mother wanted to plead for mercy, but Bian Jingsheng cast a glance at her and said, "You slandered the princess in public, Madam Shen. Even I, the prince, can send you to a nunnery!"
This sentence made Mother Shen break out in a cold sweat. She then remembered that Zhu Qing'an was not only her son's fiancée, but also a noble princess.
Fang Qing was dragged away with her mouth covered. Zhu Qing'an did not plead for mercy. This woman repeatedly sowed discord and even slandered her, completely disregarding the lives of other women.
"Madam Shen, Young Master Shen's prestige today is all thanks to the princess! If Young Master Shen doesn't cherish it, and your Shen family doesn't cherish it, then naturally there will be someone who will!" Bian Jingsheng shouted angrily, and then said, "If I hear you slandering the princess and disrespecting her again in the future, I am not as kind as the princess and will let Madam Shen know my methods!"
After hearing these words, Shen's mother nodded repeatedly and promised that she would not do it again in the future.
Zhu Qing'an watched Shen's mother leave in a daze, and felt that Shen's mother was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and was very boring.
Bian Jingsheng sent Zhu Qing'an back to the Marquis' Mansion, and personally promised Shui Tingfeng that he could invite Shui Tingfeng to visit the palace in the future, which made Shui Tingfeng very excited.
"Cousin, you and that Mr. Shen..." Shen Tingfeng had been holding it in all the way, but finally asked out loud.
Zhu Qing'an could see clearly that her second cousin's eyes were full of concern and he didn't care about anything else. Moreover, she also regarded her second cousin as a family member.
"Mr. Shen and I are not suitable, so this marriage has to be cancelled!" Zhu Qing'an explained.
"That's good!" Shui Tingfeng slapped his thigh upon hearing this, but then realized that his attitude was inappropriate and quickly explained, "Cousin, don't misunderstand me. I'm not making fun of you. I just think that the Shen family is not a good family. Cousin is so good, why can't there be a better marriage for you!"
"Oh? Second cousin, you haven't even met Mr. Shen, so why do you feel it's not good?" Zhu Qing'an became interested. After all, everyone thought that he and Shen Shixin were a perfect match, especially now that Shen Shixin did his job well.
"Although I've never met Mr. Shen, his mother's treatment of you must have revealed Mr. Shen's attitude towards you. If Mr. Shen was protecting you, how could his mother dare to act so domineeringly? Moreover, there's an unmarried cousin at home. It's clear that she has such thoughts, but she's still unclear about it. This shows how easily Mr. Shen can be influenced! If a man like this grows up under the protection of his ancestors, he will only be a weakling! Unless... unless he experiences some changes, then he can change and grow!"
Zhu Qing'an was shocked when she heard what her second cousin said. She never expected that her second cousin, who seemed to be nonchalant, could analyze Shen Shixin so accurately without even meeting him.
Indeed, the fact that Shen Shixin was so steady in his previous life was inseparable from the decline of the Shen family.
Today, Shen Shixin is enjoying great success and is extremely filial to his mother. He no longer looks mature and steady. Just like this Miss Fang, Shen Shixin clearly knows about the dirty things he and Miss Fang did, but he still pretends to be fine.
It was her own fault, she was obsessed with the love of her previous life and was blinded by one thing.
"I didn't know that my second cousin was so accurate in judging people!" Zhu Qing'an exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Shui Tingfeng puffed out his chest and spoke with great pride. "That's right. I may not have any other talents, but I have a bright eye! I think my cousin should marry a man as upright and upright as the King of Loyalty. He is not only brave and skilled in battle, but also humble and polite. More importantly, he respects you enough!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, second cousin!" Zhu Qing'an interrupted quickly. Although she also agreed with her second cousin that Bian Jingsheng would be a very good husband, there was no possibility for her and herself.
Not to mention that she has no expectations for love now, even Bian Jingsheng doesn't seem like the kind of person who would fall in love with a certain woman.
"What nonsense! I have heard about the deeds of King Zhongyi before, and I admire him very much. Now I find out from talking to him that King Zhongyi is simply too outstanding! I think my cousin and the Shen family are going to break off the engagement. It would be better for her to find an excellent man!" Shui Tingfeng said, looking at his still ignorant cousin, and sighed slightly in his heart.
He saw clearly that the look in the eyes of the King of Loyalty when he looked at his cousin was too tender and forbearing. If he didn't really love his cousin, how could he be like that?
What's more, during today's meal, King Zhongyi quietly placed his cousin's favorite dishes in front of her, paying attention to her preferences at all times. Even he was impressed by her attentiveness.
"The King of Loyalty and Righteousness isn't interested in this, so please stop talking nonsense, second cousin!" Zhu Qing'an quickly stopped him. She only wanted to befriend the man who was destined to ascend to the throne, not to reach out to him.
Shui Tingfeng looked at him and knew that he couldn't persuade the man with just a few words, so he had to give up.
But deep down, Shui Tingfeng felt that compared to that Mr. Shen, Prince Zhongyi and his cousin were a better match.
