Although the Xichang prince was scheming, he was still a 16 or 17 year old youth. Not to mention in Jiang Pengji's eyes, even in the eyes of Qi Kuang and Li Yun, his methods were not enough. His acting skills were not bad, but he had not learned how to hide his ambition perfectly.
Although it was only for a moment, everyone saw the surprise and scheming in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Pengji.
Of course, the Xichang prince was not completely useless. He had fooled 99% of the 5 million idle people in the streaming room.
Life was like a drama, it all depended on acting skills.
The idle people were used to watching all kinds of stingy TV dramas. Their expectations for acting skills were greatly reduced. The Xichang prince's disguise was perfect in their eyes. If not for their sharp eyes, no one would be able to discover that this handsome and harmless youth had a black heart.
Hmm …
Of course, it was possible that the filter brought about by his good looks made the idle people let their guard down.
Jiang Pengji looked serious, but she listened to the Xichang prince's words absent-mindedly. The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.
When she looked at someone seriously, no matter who it was, that person could feel the sincerity in her eyes. It was as if those eyes could only accommodate one person. The Xichang prince was no exception. When he noticed Jiang Pengji's gaze, his heart overflowed with joy.
Since the defeat of the Xichang royal family, it was the first time he was so grateful for this face. Otherwise, how could he attract a woman who sat in a high position?
The Xichang Emperor's concubine saw this. She did not show it on her face, but she felt somewhat complicated.
If her twin brother caught Jiang Pengji's eye, he would definitely have a meteoric rise in the future. However, she was a woman and could not compete with a man for a woman's favor. What the Xichang Emperor's concubine said to the empress was just an excuse to convince the other party.
The Xichang Emperor's true goal was to marry an important official under Jiang Pengji and become the legal wife.
She had previously sent someone to inquire. Most of the important officials under Jiang Pengji were in their thirties or forties. Their children could all discuss marriage, but there was one exception. This person was none other than Wei Ci, Wei Zixiao. He was over 30 years old and still unmarried. It was not known if he liked men, or if he had a problem with his body and was infertile. This was nothing to the Xichang Emperor's concubine. She only wanted his position, not his body.
While her brother and Jiang Pengji were conversing, the Emperor's concubine's sharp eyes found Wei Ci.
Although there was no introduction, it was not difficult for Wei Ci to recognize him.
Just like what the others had said, at a glance, the scholar with the best looks and the most upright temperament was Wei Ci.
With just a glance, the Xichang Empress Concubine was very satisfied with her future husband.
Regardless of whether the other party had a hidden illness or not, based on Wei Ci's face, talent, self-restraint, status, and power, she would not be at a disadvantage.
The Princess of Xichang was very careful, but how could she escape Jiang Pengji's eyes?
She snorted coldly in her heart, but on the surface, she was smiling and trying to get information out of him. She acted as if she was very satisfied with the Prince of Xichang. Not only was she concerned about his experiences along the way, but she was also probing the situation in Xichang. The Prince of Xichang took the opportunity to climb up the ladder. He emphasized on how the Emperor of Xichang had been persecuted by rebels and traitors, and how he had worked hard for the great cause of the country. It was really heartbreaking for those who heard it. Everyone present was moved.
Jiang Pengji also acted as if she was moved. Following the wishes of the Xichang Prince, she mentioned marriage to strengthen the friendship between the two countries.
"Father often mentions to people that my sister has reached marriageable age, but in Xichang, there are rebels and traitors in power. There are no suitable men for her to marry. He is very worried about this." The Prince of Xichang was also treacherous. He did not mention his own marriage, but instead mentioned his sister's. He had the image of a good brother who was worried about his sister's marriage. At the same time, he flattered Jiang Pengji and achieved his goal. "I heard that there are many heroes in the Lanting camp. If the two families can be on good terms, the friendship between the two countries will be even stronger. In this way, father and mother will not have to worry about my sister's marriage. "
Jiang Pengji said, "This is a good thing, but … most of the officials in my camp are old and have wives. It is not good to let Her Highness suffer. Those who are of suitable age, such as Qin Fengjing, also have a marriage agreement set by his late father. It is not good to break it and marry someone else. In this case, I am afraid this marriage will not go through. I see that the Princess is as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon. I am afraid that even a deity is not as beautiful as you. Marriage cannot be taken lightly. "
The Prince of Xichang was indeed the Princess's twin brother.
He had a private discussion with the Princess and they both set their sights on Wei Ci.
Even if she were to marry a minister in a chaotic world, as the Princess, she could not be a concubine. Wei Ci was quite suitable.
The Prince of Xichang said, "There is one person in the Lanting camp who is very suitable."
Jiang Pengji asked under the strange gazes of the crowd, "Who? Why don't I know? "
The Prince of Xichang said, "This person is Master Wei Zixiao. I heard that he is young and talented. He has followed the Lanting Duke to war for more than ten years and is very famous. He has no concubines at home and is only ten years older than my sister. Both of their looks are rare in the world. How can they not be a good match? "
The crowd was silent.
The idle people were so shocked that they threw away the melons in their hands and forgot how to send bullet screens.
What did these two treasures from Xichang say?
Toudu Feiqiu: "Someone, wake me up. Did I hear wrongly? Who has this little prince taken a fancy to?"
Lipstick Gatherer: "Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to seek death?"
Strive to Make Money: "Taking a fancy to the streamer is better than taking a fancy to Beauty Ci. If he takes a fancy to the streamer, he will only be attacked by Beauty Ci. If he takes a fancy to Beauty Ci, he will be beaten to a pulp by the streamer. No one can stop him." Is this Prince of Xichang here for a marriage alliance or to deliver his head?
"Not a good match, not a good match." Jiang Pengji sneered and dropped a bomb. "He is a good match for me."
The crowd was speechless.
They knew that their lord spoke coquettishly, but they did not expect her to be this coquettish.
They looked at the Prince and the Princess of Xichang in unison. They saw that their expressions were stiff and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Pengji acted as if nothing had happened and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong? "
The Prince of Xichang's lips trembled because he realized that he had misunderstood Jiang Pengji's gaze.
She …
She had taken a fancy to his sister, a woman of the same sex?
No wonder …
No wonder the most powerful duke in the world, Liu Xi, was still single and childless. He was actually a pervert who had a penchant for mirror grinding.
The Princess of Xichang also looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
Although she had said that the siblings would serve one person, she did not say that they would serve a woman.
The siblings' faces were pale. Jiang Pengji seemed to be unaware. Her gaze fell on the Princess of Xichang. The three of them looked at each other in silence.
The situation was somewhat out of control. The Prince of Xichang awkwardly found a lame excuse to leave and did not give an accurate reply.
After the two of them left, Jiang Pengji laughed so hard that she almost rolled on the ground.
"You've taken a fancy to Zixiao? Don't you know how many heads you have on your neck … "
Jiang Pengji said mischievously. She never expected that someone would take it seriously.
