Chapter 20

"I am proposing marriage to my sister-in-law who came to me!" King Xi looked at Gu Rulin and said with a smile.

Isn’t King Xi’s sister-in-law Li Nan, who has been rumored to be a concubine for Gu Rulin some time ago?

Cheng He looked up at King Xi, then quickly lowered his head.

Of course, King Xi didn't notice this, but Princess Xi paused when she saw Cheng He's actions. Then Princess Xi patted King Xi's hand: "Don't talk nonsense, the eldest prince's concubine is still here, so there is no misunderstanding!"

"It's okay, she believes me!" Gu Rulin smiled, reached out to hold Cheng He's hand, and then looked at King Xi, "If you have anything between the emperor and me, just say it directly, don't be so tempted!"

King Xi looked at Gu Rulin's actions and couldn't help laughing and said, "I am indeed here for Li Nan's marriage. However, it's not the eldest prince, you, but your prince's concubine!"

Cheng He was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a moment, then raised his head to look at King Xi: "Prince Xi, what do you mean?"

"Your legitimate brother has not married yet!" Princess Xi looked at Cheng He and said with a smile, "That's a good man, both talented and beautiful, I like it! But I heard that your legitimate brother has a childhood sweetheart cousin. I originally wanted to ask your mother, but you should know that if I spoke, your mother would definitely not tell the truth. I don't want to destroy the marriage, nor do I want my sister to be the cruel person who snatches love from a sword. So, I want to ask the eldest prince's concubine!"

Cheng He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Princess Xi was interested in her own brother.

"My uncle also has a childhood sweetheart. Why have I never heard you talk to me?" Gu Rulin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng He.

Cheng He seemed to not remember it, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "Cousin? I only have one aunt and one uncle. My mother is the youngest daughter in the family. My previous cousin has been married. The only cousin is the illegitimate daughter of my aunt's family. She has been around so far away. Her biological mother is a low-key concubine. She must not marry my brother, even if she is a concubine!"

"Then do you have her in your heart?" Princess Xi looked at Cheng He and asked softly.

"Of course not!" Cheng He said directly without thinking, "The biological mother of that cousin once killed my aunt's youngest son. Our family is extremely disgusted with her. How could she like her children? Moreover, that woman only met my brother at me and at the wedding ceremony. Later, she often met her by chance in the restaurant where my brother likes to go. My brother also came back to complain to me. If I guess correctly, most of the rumors in the market were spread by her, just to force my brother to submit!"

Princess Xi nodded, then smiled: "Prince, do you dare to protect the words you said just now?"

"Natural!" Cheng He looked at Princess Xi with a frank look.

"That's true. I will stay in the capital for a while. When the New Year comes out, I will talk to your mother and let them meet!" Princess Xi looked at Cheng He and said with a smile.
