Chapter 239 The Cold Man
In that case, let’s give it to you.
Prince Ning went to visit the eldest princess and when he came out to wait outside the yard, he heard this drama.
He didn't say anything, but his follower Asong laughed.
"In the entire capital, perhaps only the Second Miss of the Si family truly understands you, Your Highness."
Prince Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't say such things carelessly, lest you tarnish his reputation."
Ah Song quickly said, "I will only speak of this to Your Highness, and will never tell anyone else."
"Don't you know that walls have ears?"
Ah Song then remembered that County Lady Zhao Ning had been talking to her friend in private, but the second daughter of the Si family had overheard them. He was gossiping here, and who knew if others would overhear them too.
No matter how arrogant Zhao Ning was, he really didn't dare to disobey his mother again and again. He had to leave the garden with a wronged look on his face, surrounded by the mothers.
Prince Ning, who was outside, was wearing casual clothes. When he saw County Lady Zhao Ning coming out, he dismounted and saluted. However, his face was still cold, and anyone who saw him would feel that it was difficult to get close to him.
Ah Song advised in a low voice: "Your Highness, please smile."
"Why?" Prince Ning glanced at him.
Asong was talking in a low voice, but King Ning's voice was quite loud. Zhao Ning didn't hear it clearly at first, but now he understood it.
Seeing the solemn face of King Ning, Zhao Ning was so angry that he gritted his teeth and really wanted to scold him to his face. In the end, he just got on the carriage angrily, lowered the curtain, and didn't look at the people outside.
My mother kindly advised, "County Lady, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that Prince Ning is a bit cold and aloof, but he's actually a good person. Otherwise, why would he send you back to Kyoto as soon as he heard you weren't feeling well?"
"Mom, stop scaring me. It was clearly my mother's request."
My mother said, "Oh, my silly princess, with Prince Ning's personality, if it were someone else, even if the princess asked him to send it, he would never send it. Who in Kyoto doesn't know that His Highness Prince Ning is an iron-faced devil? Apart from the emperor's face, when has he ever given it to anyone else?"
Zhao Ning remained silent, lowering her eyes. She pulled her hair back to the front and tossed it with her fingers. She had always been dissatisfied with Prince Ning's attitude, and her mother had always advised her in the same way, so she always softened her heart.
But she didn't know why, but all she could think about today were what Gui Yuan said.
Marrying a man is a lifelong commitment for a woman. Family background and status are not important. What matters is understanding. But how could Prince Ning be such an understanding person? He didn't have much affection for her, and she...
Why should she warm up such a cold-hearted man?
My mother gently lifted the curtain and looked at the tall and handsome man outside. She was extremely satisfied and thought this marriage was a great one.
She nudged Zhao Ning and said, "Look, my Lady. Your future husband is a very handsome man. He's not as pale as the average young man, nor as crude as a general. He's truly a rare and good man."
Zhao Ning took a glance and became even angrier.
What's so good about being handsome? He obviously knows he's good-looking, so he acts so arrogant. If he were uglier, maybe he'd be more compassionate.
"I am not lucky enough to be so handsome!"
My mother was overwhelmed and said, "Please don't be so willful. The princess will blame you later. Please take the initiative to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
Zhao Ning was initially unhappy, but after thinking about it, he smiled, lifted the carriage curtain, and called out, "Your Highness Prince Ning."
"Is there something wrong?" Prince Ning responded indifferently.
Zhao Ning waved: "Please come here."
Prince Ning rode his horse closer to the carriage.
Seeing this, my mother was filled with joy, thinking that her own princess had finally come to her senses. They were both about to get married, so there was no need to dwell on who took the initiative, right?
Unfortunately, Zhao Ning’s next sentence almost made his mother spit out water.
"Your Highness, I have no feelings for you, and I even hate you. In my opinion, should we cancel this marriage?"
Before my mother could say anything, Prince Ning sneered.
"The Emperor has granted the marriage, how can you cancel it? If you must cancel it, please go to the Emperor in person and ask for permission."
Zhao Ning yelled, "But you don't like me either. Wouldn't it be torture for us to be together?"
"I don't care. I'm busy."
Zhao Ning was annoyed: "What do I care about?"
Prince Ning said, "Then go and ask for permission. As long as His Majesty says he wants to cancel the engagement, I will not hesitate."
"You...you..." Zhao Ning was angry. "I'm a woman, how can I say such things? Don't people say that you, the great Prince Ning, are the most compassionate to the people and the most meticulous in handling cases?"
"That's a case. Is your request to cancel the engagement a case? You're not a commoner, and your request has nothing to do with the country. Simply considering the gender of the man is a bit too extreme, isn't it?"
Zhao Ning said angrily: "I don't care. I won't marry you anyway. If you force me, I will..."
"I'm not forcing you to marry me. You can do whatever you want." King Ning didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he reined in his horse and left.
Zhao Ning was furious. Why was Prince Ning like this? He was not considerate at all. He was really someone who should not be married.
Seeing that the princess was about to speak, my mother quickly stepped forward and held her back: "My princess, you scared me to death."
"Mom, you see, his attitude is so cold, how can I marry him?" Zhao Ning yelled, "Asshole, get back here! Stop the car! Stop the car! Do you hear me?"
Before reaching Kyoto, the roads here were wide and smooth, and there were people from the Dali Temple guarding in front and behind, so the driver drove several points faster than usual.
The county lady hurriedly shouted to stop, but the driver had no time to stop the carriage immediately. He hurriedly pulled the reins and made a "whoosh" sound, and the carriage finally stopped.
But Zhao Ning was not sitting properly at first, and after all this tossing and turning, she hit the car window. If her mother had not pulled her in time, she would have flown out of the car.
The collision caused her to ache all over her body, and she was so angry that she started cursing at King Ning.
"There's something wrong with you, isn't there?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Prince Ning frowned and looked at her, his eyes clearly saying that she was the sick one.
"Don't worry, I won't refuse the marriage granted by the emperor. It doesn't matter whether you are healthy or sick, intact or missing limbs. I don't mind."
Ah Song, standing next to him, slapped his forehead, his face extremely dejected. How could the prince not say a single good word? The county lady was just angry and said things without thinking. Wouldn't it be better if a girl could coax her a little?
Zhao Ning was so angry at King Ning's words that he got out of the car and wanted to walk back by himself.
My mother got out of the car and said, "County Lady, we haven't even reached the city yet. It's such a long distance, how can we walk back?"
