Chapter 36 Prince Yi Refuses
Bai Wei said these words not because she really liked Ouyang Yi. After all, before today, she had only heard some stories about him and didn't even know what he looked like.
She said this just because she felt... sorry for him.
Ouyang Yi’s experience is somewhat similar to that of the original owner, and even more pitiful.
Ouyang Yi had fought in the battlefield since he was a teenager, guarding the northern border of Eastern Qin. He returned to the court after peace gradually came to the northern border, but something unexpected happened. The original owner had also been there, so she also had memories of it. The bitter cold, the steep terrain, the wind and sand, the scorching sun, the maps held in his hands during the march and battle were even those drawn by Ouyang Yi himself.
He protected the people of Dongqin with his blood, sweat, and even his life, and it was because of his bloody battles that the noble families in the capital enjoyed the peace they have today.
But now they were mocking and ridiculing him openly here... She just couldn't stand it!
Those who had been mocking him just now shut their mouths instantly.
In fact, how could they not know the name of the former military god Yi Wang, how many people had admired his elegance, how many people were jealous of his talent, but they were powerless and could never catch up with his former pace. So they indulged their own malice and tried to use their words to make this man who fell from the altar more miserable.
As if in this way, they had defeated him and were superior to him!
Not far away, Ouyang Yi, who was sitting on horseback, had no expression in his eyes, and he didn't even face Bai Wei. His handsome face without any expression actually showed a trace of surprise and throbbing that was difficult for others to detect. The hand hidden under the cloak involuntarily tightened the reins.
Meteor Sword Shadows were all stunned, looked at Bai Wei in disbelief, and then looked at each other.
Ouyang Ming finally came back to his senses: "Do you like Ah Yi?"
Bai Wei responded: "Yes."
Ouyang Ming raised his eyes and looked at Ouyang Yi who was standing beside him and said, "Ayi, what do you think?"
Ouyang Yi raised his hand when he heard this.
Jianying understood immediately, and hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to help. Ouyang Yi supported his arm and slowly got off the horse: "Royal brother, you know Ah Yi's current physical condition best, how can you delay this beautiful woman, ahem..."
A huge cough was heard, and the body shook violently, and the tall and slender figure seemed to be on the verge of falling.
Ouyang Ming immediately frowned and said, "Doctor Chen said that you are not easily affected by the cold. I told you not to come to the spring hunt today, but you insisted on coming. Doctor Chen, go and check on His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"
Doctor Chen immediately stepped forward and wanted to take Ouyang Yi's pulse.
Ouyang Yi raised his hand obediently and let Doctor Chen feel his pulse: "I just want to come out and feel it. After all, I don't know when I will never feel it again."
Ouyang Ming was immediately angry and said, "Nonsense, you are of royal blood and have dragon energy in your body. Naturally, you will be blessed by heaven. How can anything happen to you easily? Doctor Chen, how is His Royal Highness Prince Yi?"
Doctor Chen's brows were almost twisted into knots, but when he heard Ouyang Ming's question, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the physical condition of Prince Yi is not much different from the previous time I treated him. It is still the same old illness. He can only take medicine to recuperate and take good care of himself. I will go back and prescribe a few more warming and nourishing prescriptions to try."
Ouyang Qi's expression changed slightly, and he just said lightly: "Okay."
Doctor Chen said that with Ouyang Yi's current physical condition, even if he rested well, he would not live more than three years. So, it was not that he intended to get involved in the Zhennan Palace.
As for Bai Wei, she must be attracted by her younger brother's good looks.
"Wei'er, did you hear Prince Yi's answer?"
In fact, before today, Bai Wei had no idea how to become the queen. But after Ouyang Jianning's disturbance, she thought it through.
Whether it is the Fifth Prince or the Fourth Prince, it will take time for her to get close to him and unite with him.
And the Prince Yi in front of him is actually easier to approach.
Wasn't he ill? And he happened to be a doctor? If he used the treatment as a condition, wouldn't it be easier to negotiate cooperation? In addition, he had helped me several times today, and I just said those words because I wanted to find a way to save his life. This could be considered a kind of fate.
Of course, the most important thing is... who knows what the invisible Fourth and Fifth Princes look like? Can they be better looking than him?
So, it’s him!
"Your Majesty, I swear that my love for His Royal Highness Prince Yi is clear to all and will not be abandoned just because of his poor health. I love him as a person, and that will not change no matter he is rich, poor, healthy or sick."
Everything she said was true.
Her desire to pull Prince Yi, become Prince Yi's wife, and finally help him become the emperor of Dongqin is definitely more sincere than the twinkling red heart! She really likes Prince Yi's person, after all, she has wealth. He is sick, she can cure it. What he likes is him as a person, especially this face that suits his aesthetic taste!
Ouyang Ming didn't seem to expect Bai Wei to say such words in front of everyone, but he was the one who asked Bai Wei to choose a husband just now, and it would not be appropriate to refuse now. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Finally, after much thought, I can only leave this matter to the person involved: "Ayi, what do you think?"
Ouyang Yi stood up straight and looked at Bai Wei: "General Bai, I have never met you before. Today is just the first time we meet. Have you ever thought that the person you love in your heart may just be your own imagination, not me?"
Bai Wei smiled, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "So, Your Highness Prince Yi, are you willing to give Bai Wei a chance to get to know you?"
Ouyang Yi froze again and didn't say anything.
Bai Wei took advantage of the situation and turned to look at Ouyang Ming: "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I do not want Your Majesty to grant me a marriage directly. I hope to pursue His Royal Highness Prince Yi sincerely, and after His Royal Highness Prince Yi agrees to my request, I will ask Your Majesty for the imperial decree to grant me a marriage! If Your Royal Highness still disagrees, then let's forget about it!"
What is the difference between asking for an imperial decree to grant a marriage regardless of Ouyang Yi's wishes and forcing a marriage? What if Prince Yi becomes resentful, it will be more difficult for them to support each other in the future, not to mention future plans.
Now that things have come to this, Ouyang Ming has no way to refuse.
After all, Bai Wei didn't want a marriage, but a chance to get along with Ouyang Yi. No one could tell whether it would work out or what would happen next. But if he didn't agree to her, wouldn't he be going back on his word when he said he would make the decision for her?
"I agree."
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Yi frowned imperceptibly: "Royal brother, how can I give General Bai a future in my current state? I beg you to take back your order, ahem…"
He became emotional and his cough became more severe.
Bai Wei frowned.
She had expressed her love so passionately, but Ouyang Yi still wanted to refuse! No, she couldn't let him refuse, after all, he was the most suitable candidate at the moment. Even if he had no feelings for her or didn't want to get married, the two of them could still help each other and prolong each other's lifespans, but these words couldn't be said in front of everyone.
