The prince is very cruel

"Hahaha!" King Ping was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"You're the only one who can talk."

"Ahem, you're back just in time. Come here, let me introduce you."

Guan Ning approached and saw a young woman standing behind Princess Cao. She looked to be in her twenties. Although she was not considered young in ancient times, in the eyes of Guan Ning, a soul from later generations, she was young!

After a casual glance, I saw that the woman had a dignified demeanor. She was obviously the kind of woman who came from a wealthy family, was very well-educated, and had been taught the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood.

Her black hair is exposed at the temples, her eyebrows are lightly drawn and her eyes are gentle, her skin is as smooth as warm jade, her small rosy lips are red without any makeup, and the gentle breeze on her face adds a touch of the warmth of a sister next door, and she is also as beautiful as a flower.

Guan Ning couldn't help but take another look. What long legs! They must be almost 1.7 meters long, right?

This is the perfect image of a daughter-in-law in the minds of parents, both in ancient times and in later generations.

"Haha, Ning Que, this is the princess's sister, Cao Ziyan."

"Zi Yan, this is the Young Master Ning that the princess just mentioned to you."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was surprised. Cao Ziyan, the princess's sister?

Holy shit, he’s really coming?!

He knew that Prince Ping was serious, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Zheng family outside the city was eyeing the city covetously and was about to make a desperate move. How could the prince actually be in the mood to have a romantic relationship?

"Zi Yan, greetings to Master Ning." At this time, Cao Yuyan stepped forward and bowed deeply. She was dignified and graceful, with graceful lotus steps. She looked absolutely stunning, with such good upbringing, a typical top-notch ancient woman!

The prince and princess were smiling widely.

Guan Ning felt a little embarrassed, and smiled and bowed: "Hello, Miss Cao."

His voice was so magnetic and mellow that Cao Ziyan subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Guan Ning. Her eyes met Guan Ning's and she quickly looked away.

Even his face turned a little red.

It's strange that she's not a virgin.

Guan Ning didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

At this time, the princess stood up and said with a smile: "Ning Que, Zi Yan is twenty-five years old this year, which is a bit old."

"But there's a reason for everything."

"When Zi Yan was eighteen, she was supposed to get married, but she happened to be ill at the time, which delayed her marriage for over a year. I wanted to arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible."

"I was already looking for a suitable husband, but at that time, the elder in the family passed away. Because of the conflict in birth dates, Zi Yan was delayed for three years."

"I finally waited until Zi Yan was twenty-two years old. She should have gotten married by then, but... both her parents passed away, so we had to wait another three years." As she spoke, a trace of bitterness and guilt appeared on the princess's face.

Guan Ning was surprised after hearing this. What a coincidence?

Seven years!

It is common in later generations not to get married at the age of 25, but in ancient times, this was a bit too late. As expected, feudal customs are deadly!

"But now think about it, maybe everything was destined. If you had gotten married many years ago, I think you two young people would never have met each other again." The princess smiled again.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, Ning Que, you are twenty-two this year, right? As the old saying goes, a woman three years older than a man will bring him a fortune. This is a good thing!"

"Zi Yan was raised under my watch. She is a beautiful girl with a gentle and generous personality. She knows etiquette and is well-mannered. She was brought up in a strict family. She will definitely be a good wife for you."

"I think this marriage should be settled. Let's get married soon!"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly. It was difficult to refuse, but it was inappropriate to accept. He didn't know how to respond.

Cao Ziyan on the other side had her cheeks burning hot and her face flushed red. After all, it was the first time for a young lady to get into a sedan chair. How could she feel comfortable saying this in front of him?

"Okay, Your Highness, you are too anxious. The two have just met. I think it would be better to let Master Ning and Zi Yan get to know each other first and talk alone?" Princess Cao spoke without putting any pressure on them.

"This, okay."
