Hearing her open words, even Su Yuwan who was already an experienced person couldn't help but frown, and was unable to say a word.

Yun Lanyue was even more embarrassed and angry, as if she had been teased in public.

If she wanted to get something out of her mouth, then any shameless person like Yun Qixi could make people like them, who clearly had no face, unable to refute him.

Although Yun Lanyue's personality was tricky and cunning, she was still Huang Hua's daughter who had not lived for a long time. Yun Qixi could come up with such shameless trash easily, but to Yun Lanyue, he couldn't say it out loud no matter what.

In the end, he glared at her with disdain before shaking his hand and leaving in a rage.

Su Yuwan seemed to be unable to stay any longer and hurriedly left.

When they left, Yun Qixi smiled triumphantly and turned her head abruptly, only to see Qiao Er standing to one side with a red face.

Sigh, she forgot, Qiao Er is also a virgin.

The Qiao Er was embarrassed and incredulous, as if she didn't believe that Yun Qixi could say such words.

Yun Qixi patted her shoulder, and laughed, "Qiao Er, you should choose to lose your memories, forget what I just said, your Miss Er is actually very pure."

The Qiao Er, on the other hand, understood Yun Qixi's intentions, and awkwardly laughed with a flushed face, pretending as if nothing had happened just now, she supported Yun Qixi to walk to the table and sit down, then pushed the breakfast she prepared to her.

"Miss Er, hurry up and eat, do you think it's cold? Do you want me to go heat it up?"

Yun Qixi drank a mouthful of porridge and moistened her throat, then said, "It's a hot day, so cool it doesn't matter."

She had just eaten two mouthfuls, and when she thought of the news that Yun Lanyue had brought with him earlier, Yun Qixi was slightly unable to eat anymore.

Since Yun Lanyue was so proud, then it must be true that she did not come out of nowhere.

Letting her marry the crown prince, and then pointing her out to the Prince Jin, the emperor really likes to mess around like a mandarin duck. Is she a professional matchmaker? It was as if his son couldn't find a wife and insisted on holding onto her. Yun Qixi was curious, as she didn't know what the emperor saw in her, or what she saw.

Seeing Yun Qixi meditating with the spoon in her hand, Qiao Er seemed to know what she was thinking about and was filled with understanding and sympathy towards her.

"Miss Er, although this Prince Jin is not bad, and is good-looking and capable, if it was in the past, then it would be compatible with Miss Er. But today, everyone in the capital knows, Prince Jin is crippled, and is no longer as mighty as before.

Yun Qixi did not want to do it, not because he was crippled, but because she knew that he was not crippled at all. Even if he was, that was not the reason why she did not want to do it. She just didn't want to be with ice cubes. It must be torture, to be frozen to death.

Yun Qixi suddenly understood why Imperial Concubine wanted to call her out in private last night. It must have been the wind that blew against the emperor's ears last night, so she announced this matter today.

It had to be said that this Imperial Concubine had good eyes.

Just as her mind was wandering, a little girl suddenly walked in and said to Yun Qixi, "Miss Er, the old master is looking for you."

So fast? She still hadn't thought of a solution.

"Tell my dad that my legs are in pain and I can't move."

"This …" The little girl was in a difficult situation.

"What do you mean? Just go back according to my words." Yun Qixi said.

The little girl didn't dare to say anything else. She nodded and quickly left.

Yun Qixi knew that she could not hide, she just wanted to give herself more time to think of a plan.

What she did not expect was that if she did not go, Yun Fenglie would have personally come over, and Yun Chong would have come along as well.

Yun Qixi put down the bowl and prepared to stand up, but Yun Fenglie said, "Sit, isn't it your legs that are in pain?"

"Thank you, Father." She sat properly and glanced at Yun Chong, who returned her gaze with a rather deep meaning.

Yun Fenglie sat down on the large chair carved with Pear Wood and looked towards Yun Qixi, saying, "Qi Xi, the Emperor intends to point you out to the Prince Jin, I wonder what you think?"

He hadn't even taken off his court uniform yet, which clearly showed how important he was to this matter.

Yun Qixi thought for a while, then cautiously replied, "Father, can I not?"

Yun Fenglie stared at her without blinking, a complicated look flashing past his eyes. After a long while, he retracted his gaze and said solemnly, "How can anyone not speak of the emperor's orders easily? You didn't marry the crown prince and you didn't marry the Prince Jin. You challenged the patience of the emperor again and again.

Yun Qixi naturally understood what he said, but she was a modern female youth of the twenty-first century who advocated freedom of marriage. How could she allow others to dictate her own marriage?

She raised her head and looked at Yun Chong, only to see him looking solemn and shaking his head at her without a sound.

He was also telling her four words, 'Holy Will cannot be defied'.

"I understand, Father." Yun Qixi said gloomily. She could only choose to compromise temporarily.

Fortunately, she was just getting married, not immediately. She still had time.

Seeing that she had finally obeyed, Yun Fenglie heaved a sigh of relief. He did not say much, and only urged her to recuperate properly in the end before leaving.

Yun Chong did not leave, and instructed the Qiao Er to keep the tableware.

After the Qiao Er left, Yun Chong said with a complicated expression, "Last night I was perhaps wrong, I should have let you leave, right?"

That's right, if she hadn't come back last night, wouldn't she have had to face all these troubles? However, if she suddenly disappeared, and her National Duke received the order today, how would she reply to the Emperor? A person he had just met last night had disappeared today. What kind of reason could he use to convince the Emperor? He would probably vent his anger on the entire National Duke family right?

How strange, hearing Yun Chong say this, she didn't feel any regret, but instead had a sense of relief. Fortunately, she had returned, so it wouldn't affect too many people.

Yun Qixi smiled slightly, "I have never known how to avoid writing it. Brother, although this is the emperor's will, there is still room for manoeuvre. I can make the Emperor change the imperial edict once, and I can make him change it a second time. "

"In the face of her confidence, Yun Chong still frowned," After all, the Emperor isn't an ordinary person.

Yun Qixi knew that he was thinking for her sake, so she smiled and nodded, "I understand, I will think carefully, think of a foolproof plan, and I won't act blindly."

Hearing her words, Yun Chong seemed to be relieved, nodded and left.

When the room became quiet, Yun Qixi was not able to relax. At first, she had just boasted that she didn't have any good ideas. She just didn't want to worry him.

Amongst the rules of life of the ancient people, arranged marriage was the one thing she could not accept the most. She was beginning to miss the twenty-first century of freedom and equality. At least in that place, no one could force her to marry anyone, no one could easily control the life and death of others.

When her mind was still in a mess, Qiao Er suddenly came to tell her that Ms. Zhang had arrived. She was still thinking about who it was when she saw Zhang Qinxue walking in from the door.

Seeing Yun Qixi's wrapped leg, she was terrified.

"Qixi, what's wrong with your leg? Wasn't it fine last night? What happened? "

"Nothing, I just accidentally fell off the horse." Yun Qixi played it down.

"You rode?" Zhang Qinxue was even more surprised.

Yun Qixi suddenly thought back to what Yun Chong had said last night. Miss Er was timid and would definitely not dare to ride a horse in the past.

"Mm, I've always wanted to break through and change myself. I don't wish for things that I never would have been, things that I didn't dare to do before, and I also hope that I won't never dare to do again."

Zhang Qinxue stared at her for a long time before reaching out to grab her hand, and said with a serious face, "Qixi, actually, I had doubts last night as to whether you are still you or not. I was so scared. But then again, how could it not be? How could there be someone who looked so similar in this world? Fortunately, last night's answer clarified everyone's doubts about you. Then I realized, as you said, that people change, especially after a lot of things. "Thinking about it, I also doubted myself and felt a little guilty. I couldn't get a good night's sleep, so I couldn't wait to find you today and apologize to you."

Yun Qixi held onto her from the back, and laughed: "Thank you, with a friend like that, what more do I need?"

Zhang Qinxue seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Qixi, I believe you've also received the news that the emperor is going to instruct you to the Prince Jin, what do you think?"

"What can I think?" Yun Qixi laughed bitterly.

Seeing that Yun Qixi was unhappy, Zhang Qinxue couldn't help but frown. "You already rejected the emperor's marriage proposal last night. What are you going to do this time?"

"Reject again?" Yun Qixi said half-jokingly.

"What I said is true. Will you anger the Emperor by doing this?" Zhang Qinxue was very worried for her.

Yun Qixi did not speak, but in her heart, she was very clear that what Zhang Qinxue said was the truth. He was, after all, the ruler of the world. She would think that she was too polite and did not care about face. Even if she was slightly patient, she had been tossed around again and again.

Zhang Qinxue thought for a while, then advised, "In truth, although Prince Jin's legs are crippled, he is still a good person, so you don't have to be too stubborn. "Women are sometimes life itself."

She admitted that Shan Liancheng was much stronger than that trash of a Crown Prince, but he was cold and inaccessible, and they seemed to be repelling each other with their magnetic fields. Every time they interacted, there would always be a smell of gunpowder.

"I know that you are doing this for my own good. I will consider it carefully. I will not reject you blindly." Yun Qixi comforted her.

Hearing her words, Zhang Qinxue finally relaxed and nodded with a smile on her face.

And just at that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Yun Qixi's mind, as though she had thought of a good idea.
