Chapter 823 Lu Xuefei Misunderstood
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Don't you believe him? Or did you know that the King of Qi had an ambiguous relationship with another woman?"
Lu Xuefei quickly explained, "He's not having an affair with anyone, it's someone else who's pestering him."
She got a headache whenever she thought of Pan Xiuying. The marriage between Xie Qi and Tutor Pan's family would be a great help to him!
Jiang Fenghua saw that she stopped talking halfway and said, "What does it mean that someone else is pestering him?" Last time he said that he liked Lu Xuefei. Could it be that Xie Qi liked Lu Xuefei while being entangled with someone else?
"In fact, it's not that someone else is bothering him, he might also..."
Jiang Fenghua doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but Lu Xuefei is different. She treats her as a sister, and if Xie Qi is not good, she will not marry him.
"What's going on? Tell me about it." Jiang Fenghua said again.
Lu Xuefei did not hide it, "I don't know what happened. When we were investigating Shu Xue's case together, everything was fine. But one day when I went to find him, he suddenly told the housekeeper to say he didn't want to see me. I was confused at the time and thought I had heard it wrong. I went to ask Pan Yang, and Pan Yang said that the prince didn't want to see me and asked me not to go to him."
Jiang Fenghua frowned after hearing this. "Why did it happen so suddenly? Have you not seen him since then? Not even in the Supreme Court Office?"
"I was going to go to the Supreme Court to ask him about it, but I saw Pan Xiuying with him, so I didn't go." Lu Xuefei continued, "Just now at the prayer ceremony, I saw him from a distance, and Pan Xiuying happened to be there. I think I was overthinking before. I must have mistakenly thought that he liked me!"
Lu Xuefei became extremely depressed. "My queen, are there any men in the world that I can trust? Although I haven't experienced anything, I have seen too many tragic cases where women have been dependent on men all their lives, so when men abandon them, they can hardly survive. I don't want to become like them."
"When I saw Xie Qi and Pan Xiuying together, I didn't feel that sad. Maybe it's because I've seen too many cases! Instead, I think it's very normal." Lu Xuefei said lightly.
Jiang Fenghua had never seen Lu Xuefei so depressed. The sunny Lu Xuefei was the most dazzling and she deserved happiness.
Jiang Fenghua suddenly wanted to ask Xie Qi in person why he wanted to hurt a lovely girl. If he had no intention of doing so from the beginning, he should have simply refused to provoke him.
She had to listen to this matter and take care of it.
Is Xie Qi also the kind of ungrateful and heartless man? If Lu Xuefei hadn't helped him to make connections, would he have been able to enter the Tingwei Office?
Seeing that the queen was about to leave, Lu Xuefei's face was not very good. She asked, "Madam, where are you going?"
"You go back first, I have something else to do." Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
Lu Xuefei seemed to know the Queen's actions. She said, "In fact, the King of Qi didn't promise me anything. I don't blame him. Really, please don't go to him for my matter. Please, Queen."
Jiang Fenghua said: "You really don't want to ask clearly."
Lu Xuefei was stunned. "What does it matter if I ask clearly? In fact, the Pan family has already discussed marriage with the King of Qi. If they are really discussing marriage, I will appear to be the one being abandoned if I interfere. By then, everything that I don't have will become something."
Just at this moment, a figure came along the road in the distance.
Xie Qi was seen wearing a set of noble prince's attire. He looked quite decent now, completely different from when he was in the palace.
Jiang Fenghua thought of how downtrodden he was at that time. Although he was a prince, without Lu Xuefei's matchmaking, he would still be just a poor prince.
When Lu Xuefei saw Xie Qi, she unconsciously became a little nervous, "My Queen, I'm leaving first."
Seeing that she was getting timid, Jiang Fenghua held her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being seen? Straighten your back. You will be the only female official in the Supreme Court from now on."
Lu Xuefei was stunned. What did the queen mean? How could she be qualified to be an official in the Ministry of Justice? The queen must be joking!
Jiang Fenghua decided to continue doing what he had not done before, and Lu Xuefei was the most suitable candidate.
At this time, Xie Qi had already approached, and Lu Xuefei had no chance to slip away. Xie Qi respectfully bowed to Jiang Fenghua and said, "My young prince greets the queen."
"Prince Qi, please excuse me."
When Lu Xuefei saw Xie Qi, she also bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Qi."
Xie Qi stared at Lu Xuefei's face, and when he saw the hairpin he gave her in her hair, he couldn't help but feel happy. He said, "Fei'er, I want to..."
"I am busy. If Your Highness Prince Qi wants to ask about the laws, please ask someone else!" Lu Xuefei didn't want to get entangled with him anymore when she thought about him and Pan Xiuying. Maybe she had misunderstood him those days.
Xie Qi was so angry, he didn't do anything! He didn't see her that day because he didn't want her to see something she shouldn't see and cause misunderstanding.
Jiang Fenghua saw Lu Xuefei turned away, so she asked, "King Qi, can you please have a word with me?"
Xie Qi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Jiang Fenghua winked at Hongxiu, signaling her to keep Lu Xuefei. Hongxiu stood aside obediently. She saw King Qi and Miss Lu talking and laughing that day, and she really didn't expect that Miss Lu and King Qi would have a conflict.
But Miss Lu's angry look was too cute. She said, "Let me walk with Miss Lu!"
Lu Xuefei smiled slightly, "Lady Hongxiu, please."
Xie Qi stared at her face and was reluctant to leave. He did not come back to his senses until the two of them were out of his sight.
Jiang Fenghua said: "If you like her so much, why do you want to hurt her feelings?"
Xie Qi was stunned. Lu Xuefei must have misunderstood when she saw him and Pan Xiuying together. He said, "Xiao Wang has an unwelcome request."
"Please speak, Your Highness." She wanted to hear what Xie Qi could come up with.
"My prince's identity... Your Majesty knows it very well. She is the only one who treats me sincerely inside and outside the palace. If I can marry her, it will be the happiness of my life." Xie Qi said affectionately, "My prince would like to ask the Empress to propose marriage to the Lu family on my behalf."
Jiang Fenghua said: "The prince wants both the granddaughter of Master Pan and the daughter of Minister Lu to marry into the Prince Qi's mansion."
Xie Qi paused, "Have you heard any rumors, Madam? The only person the prince wanted to marry from the beginning to the end was Lu Xuefei, and those rumors were spread by Xie Xin."
"What rumors?" Jiang Fenghua asked.
Xie Qi said: "Your Majesty has been in the palace all this time, so of course she didn't hear about it. Xie Xin and I have always been at odds with each other. Now he doesn't dare to do anything to me, but the things he did made me very embarrassed..."
Xie Qi told him about the rumors spread outside: "Now Madam Pan thinks that I have agreed to marry Pan Xiuying, and wants Xiao Wang to marry Miss Pan first."
