Chapter 159 Concubine
Being suddenly hugged, Jiang Xing immediately became angry and pushed the person away.
Ji Qingyan was not annoyed when being pushed away, she smiled and said: "Sorry, I thought you would need a hug."
When Jiang Xing saw that it was actually Ji Qingyan hugging him, he couldn't believe it.
How could Ji Qingyan actually do such a thing?
He felt a surge of discomfort in his heart, but his expression returned to his usual cynicism, even his smile had a hint of evil in it: "There are differences between men and women. Miss Ji, are you so disregarding the distinction between men and women?"
He was more in disbelief. It was unbelievable that Ji Qingyan would do such a thing!
"The princess has also told me what Miss Ji said, but she probably glossed over some of it out of fear of frightening me. Naturally, I believe her! Miss Ji is so self-deprecating that I am somewhat impressed by her."
He spoke in a leisurely and carefree manner, and the change in his attitude was self-evident.
Ji Qingyan did not feel annoyed, but instead felt a sense of joy at the sight of victory. The reason why she wanted to hug him just now was because she saw Lu Xuan a moment before that.
She entered the teahouse with the concubine of the Song family, and she was sure that Lu Xuan saw Jiang Xing and her as well.
She went up to hug him on purpose.
When she first came, she didn't actually want to say these words or do these things. She just wanted to test the relationship between Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan, and see how she could find an opportunity to touch Jiang Xing and make her compromise without being able to touch Lu Xuan.
But now she has changed her mind.
Her eyes glanced straight at the shopkeeper's counter not far behind Jiang Xing. After coming to Daliang in this time and space, she had never been able to get what she wanted, but now, she wanted Jiang Xing.
Lu Xuan brought Zhiyi here today to count the accounts. He had randomly chosen a shop close to Wuyuan to check it out, and then he came to Qingyi Pavilion Teahouse.
I didn’t expect that the first person I saw when I entered the elegant room was Jiang Xing!
He was actually still being held by Ji Qingyan!
Lu Xuan's heart was pounding in her chest, as if it wanted to devour her entire body!
In her previous life, because Jiang Xing died early, she did not see any contact between him and Ji Qingyan.
Could it be that there is some old connection between them?
Knowing that she was breathing rapidly, he asked considerately, "Are you feeling unwell, sister?"
Sang Luo thought that Lu Xuan had just woken up from a coma, so she quickly led her to sit on a chair and showed her the tea, snacks, price list, etc. in the shopkeeper's hand.
Lu Xuan forced himself not to look at Jiang Xing and Ji Qingyan. It took him a while to calm down before he looked at the accounts and other items in his hands.
After comparing the accounts with the categories offered in the teahouse, Lu Xuan stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhiyi.
"Sister, we still need to try some new snacks. We can't leave so soon!"
"Oh, yes!" Lu Xuan nodded absentmindedly, looking at Zhiyi and smiling dazedly: "Then let's taste it before we leave."
Zhiyi led Lu Xuan to an elegant room and sat her down. This room happened to be next to Jiang Xing and Ji Qingyan. Those sounds broke into her ears and brain without any warning.
Ji Qingyan couldn't help but feel amused when she saw Jiang Xing being wary of her.
These men were all staring at Lu Xuan intently. Are there no other women in the world?!
She doesn't have that much patience!
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about why I have never met anyone or married in all these years?"
Jiang Xing was stunned.
"You, are not married?"
Ji Qingyan is one year older than Jiang Xing. A woman of this age can no longer be described as an old maid, but rather as a middle-aged woman!
Ji Qingyan lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "First, I haven't met a man in these years who is more unforgettable than the one I met sixteen years ago; second, the serious illness sixteen years ago damaged my foundation, and I have been unable to conceive for the rest of my life, so naturally no man is willing to marry me."
Ji Qingyan's voice was extremely lonely and desolate, but her pronunciation was extremely clear.
Through the candlelight, she looked at the slender shadow in the elegant room next to her, lowered her head and smiled in her heart.
That’s great, so she doesn’t have to send someone to pass the message to Lu Xuan.
As soon as Ji Qingyan said this, how could Jiang Xing not understand what she meant.
He had already handled the twists and turns of these women with ease in Longchuan.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a playful manner, his arms stretched out frivolously on the back of the chair, and his legs stretched out wantonly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Second Miss? So all the preparations before were because of you. Do you want to be my woman?"
Ji Qingyan held her chin and looked at him with a burning gaze, without commenting.
"Your Highness, if you get hurt somewhere, you'll be responsible for it for the rest of your life."
Jiang Xing nodded, with a half-smile: "Then why didn't I see the Second Miss when I was choosing a concubine?"
He took the tea and said, "What a pity! I already have a princess. But Miss Ji was indeed injured because of me sixteen years ago. If I don't repay you, it would be unreasonable."
"How about this." His eyes casually traced her chest. "Second Miss has average talent. How about staying in the palace as a concubine?"
Ji Qingyan was not confused by his current wild appearance, but instead aroused her stronger interest.
"Your Highness, there's no need to bluff me, nor to deceive yourself." Her eyes lingered on his moon-like, clear face. "How long can the princess stay with you? Will she leave? When will she leave? I'm sure Your Highness knows better than I do."
Her voice contained a hint of tenderness that she herself hadn't noticed: "After she leaves, wouldn't it be most appropriate for the prince to marry me?"
Jiang Xing looked at her with a smile, his expression full of longing and dreamy thoughts, but with a hint of sharp danger in it. "Why wait until then? Come with me and be my woman, okay?"
Lu Xuan finally managed to finish the few plates of snacks in front of her, but she couldn't listen any longer.
A man staggered to his feet and hurried out of his teahouse.
Sang Luo and Zhiyi, who were talking to the shopkeeper, saw Lu Xuan leaving and hurriedly followed him, leaving behind three hurried figures in their wake.
Ji Qingyan's attention was all on the figure who was almost fleeing next to her, and she didn't pay attention to what Jiang Xing said at all.
But at the moment, she was in a good mood and subconsciously said, "Okay."
Now it was Jiang Xing's turn to be completely shocked.
Is this Ji Qingyan really the second lady of the Ji family?
So shameless?
He had deliberately demoted her to a concubine and shown her such disrespect, yet she, a grown lady, actually agreed to it!
Jiang Xing simply stopped beating around the bush with her and looked at her with disdain for a while: "Miss Ji may be too eager to get married. Let's put it this way, it's not up to me to decide whether to raise concubines or not. I'm afraid the princess will be unhappy."
"I will go back and find Lord Shen and ask him to pick out some strong men in the army. He doesn't mind whether the women can give birth. Then he can bring them to Miss Ji to have a look. I guarantee you will be satisfied. How do you do that?"
Ji Qingyan glanced at him sideways and didn't respond to his words: "Your Highness, you are joking. It was just a joke."
Ji Qingyan originally just wanted to annoy Lu Xuan, create a rift between her and Jiang Xing, and then slowly resolve the conflict between them.
Now that Lu Xuan is gone, there is no need to lower yourself any further.
Her words were like a stopper. Jiang Xing's anger was blocked before it could be expressed, and he could only choke in his heart with displeasure.
Ji Qingyan talked to him seriously about him and Lu Xuan: "The prince and the princess were married by covenant. The prince hid from my eldest brother's men because the princess saved you. We all know this. And why the princess wanted to marry the prince at that time, I believe you also know."
She looked at him with great interest, as if she was enjoying it very much. "Believe it or not, as long as the princess achieves her goal, she will leave immediately, because from the beginning to the end, only the prince was moved."
Jiang Xing was fed up with her bringing up such inappropriate and private matters time and time again.
"Even so, so what? This is a matter between the king and the princess, Miss Ji doesn't need to worry about it!"
He didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and left in anger.
Seeing him about to leave, Ji Qingyan was still unwilling to admit defeat and chased after him, saying, "Have you ever thought about who Lu Xuan will go to after he leaves? Not you, not Si Luan, but Shen Yuanci!"
Jiang Xingxin felt as if something had pinched him hard, but he still walked straight ahead without looking back.
Ji Qingyan raised her voice, sneered at him, and added, "It's a pity that you've been so arrogant since childhood. I didn't expect that you could be played around by others. There are times when you are not as skilled as others..."
Jiang Xing's eyes were as deep as the night. He walked out of the door quickly with his long legs, and Ji Qingyan's voice gradually faded away behind him.
All that was left behind was a dark silhouette, like a pine tree in winter, cold and out of reach.
Ji Qingyan stared at the figure at the door without stopping until it disappeared, with coldness and madness on her sinister face.
Lu Xuan, you should disappear!
