Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 216 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (52 pages)

At first, Prince Qing was somewhat reluctant to hear the emperor's arrangement. He was currently doting on his concubine and was unwilling to marry a principal wife so soon.

However, the emperor's decree could not be disobeyed, and Prince Qing dared not go against his father's wishes.

Therefore, he specially sought out Cheng Mu today and came to the flower viewing banquet with him, just to see with his own eyes what the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping really looks like.

The moment Prince Qing saw Qi Ning in person, his eyes lit up.

It's unbelievable that Marquis Changping, Qi Congming, who is tall and burly, has a daughter who is such a rare beauty.

Qi Ning lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Prince Qing's blatant gaze, otherwise she was afraid that the disgust and disdain in her eyes would be uncontrollably revealed.

After Cheng Mu introduced her, Qi Ning still curtsied and said, "This humble woman greets Your Highness Prince Qing."

“Miss Qi, there’s no need for such formalities. Please rise.” Prince Qing said, reaching out to help Qi Ning up.

Qi Ning pretended to have Qi Tang beside her bow, taking the opportunity to avoid Prince Qing's hand.

Qi Ning was not surprised by the sudden appearance of Prince Qing.

The "accident" the system just mentioned refers to him.

On her way to the peach blossom forest with Cheng Miao, the system had already told her in detail about the Duke of Qin meeting the emperor, the emperor arranging for Prince Qing to come and see her, and his intention to have her marry Prince Qing.

She had barely finished listening to what the system said when Cheng Mu and Prince Qing appeared one after the other.

Qi Ning felt that the plot was really getting out of control.

Originally, the appearance of Fang Hewen and Cheng Mu, two characters outside the main plot, would have been fine. At most, Qi Ning could be used to provoke Qi Jingyu. However, the sudden appearance of Prince Qing is really absurd.

Qi Ning remained expressionless and guided Qi Tang to also pay her respects to Prince Qing.

Prince Qing's hand froze in mid-air for a moment before he withdrew it.

He surprisingly didn't mind Qi Ning's avoidance; on the contrary, his interest intensified.

"Miss Qi likes peach blossoms? Just now, when I saw Miss Qi standing in the peach grove, I thought I had seen some peach blossom fairy."

Even a blind man could see through Prince Qing's undisguised actions, gazes, and words; he was clearly thinking.

Cheng Miao winked at her older brother from the side.

What's going on? Mother asked her eldest brother to come and meet Miss Qi, but why did her eldest brother bring Prince Qing along too?

To make matters worse, it seems that Prince Qing has also taken a liking to Miss Qi.

Cheng Mu naturally realized Prince Qing's intentions.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Prince Qing had been pestering him all day because he already knew that he would be meeting Miss Qi today, and therefore had come with him on purpose.

Seeing that things were not going well, Cheng Mu said, "Your Highness, why don't we go back to the table first? I have a jar of fine wine that I would like to invite Your Highness to try."

“That’s right, elder brother and His Highness Prince Qing, why don’t you return to your seats first?” Cheng Miao chimed in. “Miss Qi and I should also go back, otherwise Mother will definitely look for us if she finds out we’re not here.”

"Hey, what's the rush?" Prince Qing raised his hand to stop them.

He glanced at a pavilion nearby and said, "Since we've met today, it must be fate. In my opinion, let's go to the pavilion, sit down, and have a chat."

"Cheng Mu, you can have your jar of fine wine sent here so your sister and Miss Qi can have a taste."

Qi Ning, holding Qi Tang's hand, said, "Your Highness, I am not good at drinking, so I am afraid I cannot accompany you. Please forgive me."

“Indeed, I am also unable to drink alcohol, so please excuse us.” Cheng Miao also said.

Prince Qing ignored Cheng Miao and instead looked at Qi Ning, saying, "Miss Qi, you don't drink alcohol, but tea is fine too. Are you in such a hurry to leave because you're not giving me face?"

"Ning'er."

Just as Prince Qing finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qi Jingyu standing not far away, watching them.

"This is?"

Prince Qing's voice was somewhat displeased. He did not recognize Qi Jingyu and was very unhappy that Qi Jingyu had suddenly appeared and interrupted his previous conversation.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, this is my brother," Qi Ning said quickly.

"Your elder brother?" Prince Qing asked, puzzled.

Prince Qing only knew Qi Jinglin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changping's mansion, but he knew Qi Jinglin. This person was not him at all. Could it be that the Marquis of Changping's mansion had two sons?

After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered that Qi Congming had a son born to a concubine, who had fallen off a cliff during the last autumn hunt.

Qi Jingyu walked to Qi Ning's side.

Qi Ning noticed that his expression was not good, which clearly indicated that he had overheard what Prince Qing had said earlier.

"Second brother, this is His Highness Prince Qing. Please pay your respects to His Highness Prince Qing."

Only after Qi Ning reminded him did Qi Jingyu look at Prince Qing and slowly bow to him.

Prince Qing felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of this Second Young Master Qi, and that he looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

“Your Highness Prince Qing, I’m afraid my younger sister can no longer drink with you. It’s getting late, and we must return to our residence,” Qi Jingyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Prince Qing chuckled: "What do you mean it's getting late? The banquet isn't even over yet, and you're already in such a hurry to leave? You don't even give me any face?"

His words clearly implied that he was still unwilling to release the person.

"Your Highness is overthinking it. My father went to the military camp in the western suburbs today and was on his way back to the manor. When he passed by the estate of the Duke of Cheng, he remembered that we were attending the flower viewing banquet here today, so he sent someone in to deliver a message, saying that he would pick us up and take us back to the Marquis's manor."

Qi Jingyu looked at Qi Ning and said, "I came here specifically to inform my two younger sisters and my mother."

Upon hearing Qi Jingyu mention Qi Congming, and that Qi Congming was currently waiting outside the estate, Prince Qing touched the ring on his hand and then restrained his attitude.

"So it's Marquis Changping who has arrived. In that case, Young Master Qi and Miss Qi, please make yourselves at home."

Qi Jingyu said no more, leaving only two words: "Farewell."

After saying that, he said to Qi Ning, "Let's go."

Qi Ning hummed in agreement, nodded to Cheng Mu and Cheng Miao, and then left with Qi Tang and Qi Jingyu.

Prince Qing watched Qi Ning's retreating figure and sneered inwardly, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape.

However, that second young master of the Qi family...

"Cheng Mu, have you met the second young master of the Qi family before? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Cheng Mu Chaoqing glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and replied, "Your Highness, this is the first time I have met the Second Young Master Qi. I heard that he previously suffered from a leg ailment and never left his residence. Now that his leg ailment has just healed, this is the first time he has attended such a banquet. You have probably never met him before."

"That's true."

Prince Qing nodded and put the matter aside.

What Cheng Mu didn't say was that, if you really had to say, that Second Young Master Qi did look somewhat similar to Prince Qing.

But they only scored two points; they have completely different temperaments.

This should just be a coincidence.
