Chapter 164 Acquaintance
Seeing that she is not only beautiful and intelligent but also courageous, Eunuch Wen praised her more sincerely: "Miss Cui will be a serious prince and concubine in the future. Naturally, she can live up to what our family says. Together with His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness, we will sing in harmony and support each other."

"Borrowing auspicious words from my father-in-law."

Cui Ming kept a smile on his face and exchanged greetings with Eunuch Wen.

Eunuch Wen is the chief eunuch favored by the Holy One. People from all the major families think that he is the emperor's man, so they need to be polite when they see him.

Only Cui Ming knew that he was already the Seventh Prince's man very early on.

It's just that Eunuch Wen didn't know that she had many relationships with the Seventh Prince in private.

It has not been a day or two since the Seventh Prince pretended to be crazy, foolish, and a pig and a tiger, and there were eyeliners planted by him in all courts and harems.

"Your Majesty is still waiting for our family to report back, so we will take our leave first." Eunuch Wen and Cui Ming said a few words politely, and then planned to return to the palace to return.

Cui Ming nodded, and went out with Eunuch Wen, "Eunuch, go slowly."

Zhongyonghou also belatedly prepared to send Eunuch Wen out.

Eunuch Wen raised his hand to stop them, "Master Hou, Miss Cui, don't send them away."

Zhongyonghou recalled what Ming'er said when he was looking for Ming'er just now.

He just thought that the Seventh Prince had agreed to Cui Ming and was willing to say a few words for their family in front of the Holy One.

After all, no matter how arrogant the Third Prince is, if the Holy Majesty speaks out, the Third Prince's faction will definitely not go against the Holy Majesty's will so blatantly.

But he never thought that what was waiting was a marriage decree.

He turned his head to look at his daughter worriedly, and asked, "What's going on? Just now, Eunuch Wen said that the Seventh Prince went to ask for the marriage decree in person. Do you know about this?"

His family's Ming'er was beautiful and intelligent, and it was not impossible to be favored and admired by nobles.

It's just that Ming'er didn't seem to have much contact with the Seventh Prince in the past, and it was never heard that the Seventh Prince showed his kindness to Ming'er, so this was really too sudden.

Besides, even if the Seventh Prince really loves his family's Ming'er wholeheartedly, there is still the hurdle of the Holy Majesty, what is the meaning of the Majesty's promise of the Seventh Prince's Concubine to his daughter?
"That's what my father saw. His Highness the Seventh Highness likes the courtier's daughter, so he is naturally willing to help his future Yue family. Father doesn't have to think about it."

"But but..." Once they become the Yue family of the Seventh Prince, their Marquis Mansion will be bound together with the Seventh Prince forever.

Cui Ming's smile faded, and he glanced at the indecisive Zhongyonghou, "Is it possible that father is still dreaming of the sweet dreams he once had?"

How can it be so cheap to choose the wrong person and want to have another chance to become a dragon?
Zhongyonghou smiled wryly and shook his head, "Father has already figured out a lot of things in the past half a month. Although fame, fortune, glory and wealth are exciting, they can't compare to the safety and security of our father and daughter. Ankang."

In fact, binding the Seventh Prince is not a bad thing. The Seventh Prince has a gentle and harmless personality, and has no maternal influence. The court has never regarded him as a candidate for succession.

The third prince's position as the crown prince is probably already a certainty. Although the third prince doesn't like him as the seventh brother very much, he still maintains his superficial respect for brothers and friends, not like his other brothers. .

In addition, according to how favored the seventh prince is by the Holy Majesty, he must be able to get a good fiefdom in the future, and his family Ming'er can also have a good home with the seventh prince.

Zhongyonghou looked at Cui Ming cautiously, "Father just wanted to ask if you have any admiration for His Highness the Seventh Highness? Although our Houfu is now in decline, we will never use our daughter as a bargaining chip in exchange for the safety of the whole Houfu."

"Could it be that what father said is because he wants to resist the order?" Cui Ming cast him a flat look.

Zhongyong Hou choked, and couldn't help scolding softly with a cold face, "What nonsense?"

"Just the truth."

Zhongyonghou moved his lips, but finally he could only lower his head silently.

"Father, my daughter still has some headaches from the summer heat, so go back and rest first."

"Okay, then you have a good rest, remember to come to father if you have anything to do."

Cui Ming responded lightly, then turned and left.

Marquis Zhongyong watched Cui Ming's back disappear into the corridor, tears flashed in his eyes, he knew that his Ming'er was unparalleled in intelligence and always had his own ideas, but he didn't want to have such an idea, even handing over his own marriage up.

Cui Ming walked slowly on the corridor.

For no reason, she thought of her first meeting with the seventh prince. It was a lake tour organized by the daughter of the Xiangfu, but she ran into a villain for no reason. She evaded in a hurry and even broke the real face of the seventh prince.

He secretly prepared and plotted in private, and he actually intended to be the crown prince, which was not at all the same as her meek and cowardly temperament in the past.

At that time, she only felt terrified and afraid. The Seventh Prince had been hiding for so long but she saw his real face. She might not live long.

The concubine's daughter of the Hou Mansion looks like a beautiful girl, and her status is not low.

But because of her father's mediocrity, if others really want to do something, they only need to find a legitimate excuse, so that she will never see the sunshine of tomorrow again.

However, unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince did not kill her.

"It's you?"

There was a sharp light in the eyes of the gentle and cowardly prince in the past, and he only said two words the moment he saw her.

At that time, she was still in panic, turned around and ran away without thinking.

The seventh prince stepped forward to stop her, looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm not a scourge, why did Miss Cui run away when she saw me?"

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness Seventh. My Majesty was frightened by those gangsters just now. She felt restless for a while and wanted to run away when she saw someone. She also forgot to salute His Highness. Please forgive me." Seeing that she couldn't escape, Cui Ming I had no choice but to pretend nothing happened and bowed my head in salute.

The Seventh Prince raised his hand to signal her to stand up, "It's because I didn't think well enough to scare Miss Cui."

"It must be unsafe here, I'll send a few people to take Miss Cui back to the Hou Mansion." After he finished speaking, he motioned for the people behind him to come forward and give them instructions.

Cui Ming couldn't refuse and didn't know how to face it, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Thank you Your Highness, I am very grateful."

She walked two steps but couldn't help but stop, and said solemnly to the Seventh Prince: "Don't worry, Your Highness, my daughter doesn't know anything about what happened today, and she hasn't seen anything."

The seventh prince smiled and waved his hand casually, indicating that he already knew.

This was four years ago. At that time, her mother had not passed away, and the Xie family had not had any accidents. She was still the lawless and not-so-famous concubine daughter of the Hou family.

Because of this reason, in fact, she didn't have any close friends of ordinary girls in the capital, and her only playmate was Xie Zhuo.

Even for this lake tour, her mother insisted on forcing her to come.
