Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 534 - 534 I Want It (5)



534 I Want It (5)

Huangfu Hao looked at Prince Rui inquisitively, but Princess Ming An looked at him worriedly and said, “Prince Rui, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want us to call the imperial physician over to take a look at you?”

When Huangfu Hao heard this, his face immediately darkened and he glared at Princess Ming An. He could spare Princess Ming An if she was only fooling around in private. However, now that with so many princes around, she actually openly showed her concern for Prince Rui. Wasn’t she rushing to make a fool of herself? Moreover, Huangfu Hao was a man himself. Men knew men the best. The way Prince Rui looked at Princess Ming An clearly showed that he was annoyed. If Prince Rui was a bad-tempered person, this might even affect the relationship between the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty.

Prince Rui ignored her and looked at the last person in the seat opposite him. Everyone noticed his gaze and looked over. It was Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi.

Fu Xiuyi had always been the most obedient among the nine princes. At this moment, Prince Rui was looking at him alone. The way the princes looked at Fu Xiuyi changed. Fu Xiuyi was not flustered. He stared back at Prince Rui calmly.

Prince Rui suddenly smiled and said, “Before I came to Ming Qi, I heard that the Ninth Prince was a young talent. He indeed lives up to his name, I wonder if he’s married?”

No one expected Prince Rui to suddenly bring up this question, and their expressions suddenly became strange. Fu Xiuyi was also stunned for a moment before answering, “Not yet.”

Prince Zhou laughed out loud. He sat beside Fu Xiuyi and patted his shoulder. “Ninth Brother is the only one of us who hasn’t married. Why, Prince Rui, are you also interested in Ninth Brother’s marriage?”

Prince Rui smiled under his mask and said leisurely, “There are also many princesses of the right age in the Daliang Dynasty. When I saw the Ninth Prince, I felt that we hit it off very well. I wanted to introduce him to someone.”

As soon as he said that, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

What Prince Rui meant was that he actually wanted to be in-laws with Fu Xiuyi. If it was really as Prince Rui said, marrying a princess of the Daliang Dynasty meant having a powerful backup. If the reason why the princes were not on guard against Fu Xiuyi previously was because Fu Xiuyi had never expressed his interest in the throne, then what Prince Rui said at this moment made everyone wary of Fu Xiuyi. This was because once Fu Xiuyi married the princess of the Daliang Dynasty, he would become the most powerful competitor for the throne!

Fu Xiuyi tightened his grip on the wine cup and looked at Prince Rui calmly.

Was Prince Rui really interested in befriending him? Fu Xiuyi did not think so.

Prince Rui was not helping him, but harming him!

Fu Xiuyi had always kept a low profile. Until the very end, he would not show his ambition. Although Prince Rui’s offer was tempting, Fu Xiuyi was definitely unwilling to take this offer in front of all the princes. With just one sentence from Prince Rui, the other princes looked at Fu Xiuyi with meaningful gazes.

No matter how tempted he was, he wouldn’t agree. Fu Xiuyi gritted his teeth. For some reason, he felt that this Prince Rui, who he had never interacted with, seemed to be very hostile to him. Otherwise, he would not have pushed him to the center of attention.

He became wary of Prince Rui, but on the surface, he smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Prince Rui. It’s just that I don’t have the intention of getting married yet.”

“Oh?” Prince Rui smiled. “Ninth Prince, do you have a woman you like in mind so that you don’t want to marry the princess from the Daliang dynasty? If that’s the case, I won’t force you.”
