Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 3: Miss Guan, I’ve decided to marry her!

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Qin Ming sat in the hall and listened quietly.

The ceremonial officer Zhao Xi had a smug look on his face as he conveyed Emperor Qian's will.

"His Majesty has said that if Your Highness goes to Lingnan, he must bring all the staff in the palace with him, and the Crown Prince's Palace must be vacated..."

"Lingnan already has troops guarding the border, so there's no need to draw troops from the capital."

"Oh, yes, and there's also our etiquette. Since you're actively requesting to guard the border, and the court doesn't have a precedent for this, we'll keep things simple and skip the official farewell process..."

Zhao Xi is one of Qin Ming's mortal enemies in the court.

He spent a lot of effort to take revenge on Qin Ming.

He finally got the opportunity from Zhou Li to humiliate Qin Ming in person.

But to his surprise, Qin Ming just held a cup of tea and listened quietly.

There was even a hint of anticipation on his face.

"Are you done?"

"It's over."

Zhao Xi replied dryly, but the imagined Qin Ming's fury did not occur.

This made him very uncomfortable.

Qin Ming waved his hand and said:

"Xiao Cui, show the guest out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Cui is Qin Ming's maid. She is as beautiful as a fairy and has a delicate figure.

Her skin is white and smooth, and her waist is so slender that it can be held in one hand.

But for many years, this pedantic prince never touched her.

Worse than beasts!

That’s not right. Maybe he has a better choice than Xiao Cui.

After all, he is the prince, of noble status...

Qin Ming thought so, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Cui's swaying waist.

Zhao Xi showed displeasure and continued to stir up trouble:

"Your Highness, if you have any dissatisfaction, please tell me immediately. Don't cause any trouble when you are about to leave."

Qin Ming came back to his senses and glanced at him.

"You really want to see me get into trouble?"

"I dare not. That's all right. I will take my leave."

Zhao Xi felt embarrassed and turned to leave the Prince's Mansion.

But as soon as he stepped onto the street, he saw a beautiful woman holding a silver spear standing in front of the Prince's Mansion.

On her spear, there was a military flag of the Wuwei Camp, fluttering in the wind.

Among the spectators around, there were some young men and women from high-ranking officials and dignitaries who knew the inside story.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Guan family? I heard she was betrothed to the prince?"

"Although the Crown Prince has lost his power, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and he can still provide some protection for the Guan family."

"General Wuwei is dead, and the Guan family is now just a burden. Will the prince want them?"

"I heard that this matter was discussed in the court recently..."

The sound of the crowd's discussion reached the girl's ears.

With a cold face, she said to the guard at the door:

"Let Qin Ming come out!"

Seeing this, several guards guessed that something was wrong.

He nodded quickly and walked hurriedly into the mansion.

Zhao Xi came out to provoke but failed, and happened to see the down-and-out eldest daughter of the Guan family.

He immediately remembered Qin Ming's engagement, and walked forward and said sarcastically:

"Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Guan family?"

"Why, do you want to come and marry His Highness and go to Lingnan together?"

"none of your business!"

Guan Yue snorted coldly, staring at Zhao Xi with sharp eyes.

Zhao Xi shrank his neck and curled his lips:

"Miss Guan, I forgot to tell you that His Majesty said earlier that it would be up to the Crown Prince to choose whether to marry you or not."

"General Wuwei has died on the battlefield. The Guan family no longer has any foundation. Do you think the prince will want you?"

Guan Yue's expression turned somewhat ugly.

"The Guan family doesn't need any marriage alliances or protection! I'm here to cancel the engagement!"

"break off an engagement!?"

The spectators gathered around were all surprised and pointed at her.

In this day and age, if a woman takes the initiative to cancel an engagement, how can she get married again in the future?

Zhao Xi smacked his lips and said with emotion:

"Alas, it really is true that a phoenix in decline is no better than a chicken, haha!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"You bastard!"

Feeling the ridicule of everyone.

Guan Yue was extremely angry. With a thrust of his spear, the blade reached Zhao Xi's throat.

Zhao Xi was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats.

But then he suddenly calmed down and said viciously:

“Miss Guan, I advise you to be more obedient and not end up not even having the chance to be a pheasant!”

……

The scene fell silent.

There was a hint of sarcasm on Zhao Xi's lips.

The spear in Guan Yue's hand was never able to advance an inch.

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but not a single tear shed.

Since her father's death, she has been the young mistress of the Guan family, and she cannot shed tears.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the mansion.

"Who's the pheasant? Why don't you leave?"

"Come here, grab him and beat him up!"

Qin Ming rushed out of the mansion.

Click, click, click!

Several guards holding long sticks had already set up Zhao Xi before he could react.

"Your Highness, you... Ugh!"

Before Zhao Xi could finish his sentence, he was met with a blasting kick!

The leftover food was almost kicked out.

He brought about ten people with him and gave chase relentlessly.

The sound of punches hitting flesh made the onlookers' scalps tingle.

Too bad!

What a huge hatred!

The beating lasted for nearly an incense stick of time.

I saw that the officials were gathering here.

Zhao Xi was almost unable to get up, so Qin Ming nodded happily and said to his men:

"Take it away."

Zhao Xi covered his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and roared angrily:

"Your Highness, I am an official appointed by the court. You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will report it to His Majesty?"

Qin Ming had expected him to say this.

"You're submitting a memorial? I'm going to submit one too! You're slandering my fiancée, spreading rumors that I'm breaking off the engagement, and insulting the dignity of the royal family. You deserve death!"

"The beating I gave you today is too light. Just wait, I'll sue you to death!"

Anyway, I will be sent to Lingnan soon and say goodbye to these bastards in the court forever.

Qin Ming is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Anyone with grudges or grievances in the capital will be unable to escape if he gets the chance!

"you……!"

Zhao Xi was stunned.

How come Your Highness, who has always been kind-hearted, has become like this?

Before anyone could feel sorry for Zhao Xi, someone in the crowd suddenly reacted and let out a cry of surprise.

"Fiancée? Is Your Highness planning to marry the eldest daughter of the Guan family?"

Guan Yue's eyes flashed, and she also looked up at Qin Ming.

The scene fell silent.

Everyone waited for his response curiously.
