Chapter: 101 . 1 out of 171

As soon as these words were said, the room was in an uproar .

Old Madam and the other madams couldn't remain calm and collected .

His Highness Prince Jing had come here to propose marriage . Which Miss was he going to ask for marriage? Third Miss Wei Ya and Fourth Miss Wei Luo were the only two eligible girls in their residence . Third Madam Liu-shi's eyes brightened . Could it be her daughter?

Soon, Old Madam regained her composure . She picked up her cane that was decorated with roses and cloud . As she walked towards outside, she said, "Hurry, help me walk over there so I can look . "

First Madam and Fourth Madam stepped forward to lend an arm to support her and walk together to the receiving room . Second Madam and Third Madam looked at each other, then they closely followed after .

A moment later, Wei Luo was the only one person left in the previously lively room . Wei Luo looked at their departing figures, then she leisurely followed behind them . Unlike the others, she wasn't the slightest bit anxious . Her eyes were concentrated on a goal . No one else noticed that the corner of her lips was raised in a smile and her eyes were curved into crescent moons .

Of course, she knew why he was here . . . She was the person that Zhao Jie wanted to marry .

There was also an unpleasant feeling of clearly knowing something but unable to say .

In the receiving room, Old Madam and the other madams were sitting on ironwood chairs . They were sitting upright and very still . Zhao Jie was sitting across from them . He was wearing a navy blue robe with lotus flower stem pattern, a jade hat, and a waist accessory with a jade hornless dragon . He looked more formal than usual . He didn't bring anyone else other than Zhu Geng .

Zhao Jie stood up and properly saluted Old Madam . "Old Madam . "

How could Old Madam accept his salute? She hurriedly stood up to lend him a hand to stand up . She anxiously said, "Your Highness, this old lady doesn't deserve this . Your Highness, please sit . "

Zhao Jie straightened . He didn't refuse and sat down on one of the chairs . He looked around and asked, "Is Duke Ying not here today?"

Old Madam cautiously said, "This old lady has already ordered people to bring him back . If your Highness has something he needs to say to Old Master, I'm afraid that you'll have to wait for a while . "

He thought for a moment, the he smiled and said, "That's fine . If I say this to Old Madam, it'll be the same . "

A servant girl wearing a green robe came over with a purple tray outlined in gold to bring tea . She placed a colorful cup next to him . He held the cup and his thumb gently went back and forth over the cup's cover . He seemed to be mulling over an issue for a long time . He slowly said, "This prince came here for one thing . "

Old Madam's heart tightened . "Your Highness, please say . "

He paused for a moment . After a while, he said, "This prince greatly admires and adores House Wei's Fourth Miss Wei Luo . "

It really was Wei Luo .

When Old Madam had heard that he came here to propose marriage, she had already secretly guessed this . Currently, there were two unmarried girls in the residence . If it wasn't Wei Ya, then it was Wei Luo . In every aspect, Wei Luo was more outstanding than Wei Ya . To hear him say Wei Luo, it was reasonable .

However, Old Madam didn't understand . How did Prince Jing become interested in Ah Luo?

Among those seated, Third Madam Liu-shi was the most disappointed . She had thought that Zhao Jie was interested in her daughter, Wei Ya . She hadn't expected that it would be Wei Luo .

Old Madam hesitated for a while as she deliberated the words that she would say . "This old lady will boldly ask a question . Ah Luo's engagement with Count Zhong Yi's family was only recently canceled . Your Highness, when did you . . . "

After saying up to this point, she stopped and didn't continue . However, these words were enough to let other people understand her question .

Zhao Jie lowered his eyes as he pondered . To answer this question, he would have to give careful consideration to Wei Luo's reputation . He also couldn't seem too frivolous . In a short while, he seriously said, "I won't hide it . This prince has greatly admired Fourth Miss for a long time . "

His voice was hoarse as if he was a person that had been traveling in a desert for a long time . And now, he finally saw a lake full of blue water in front of him . He held the cup and in a sincere tone, he said, "Ah Luo frequently comes to the palace . By fate, this prince has met her a few times . This prince admires her pure and kind heart . She is attractive and intelligent . This prince didn't dare to be rash since she was already engaged before she was born, so I could only suppress my thoughts . When I heard that her engagement with House Song was canceled, I specially came here to propose marriage . "

After these emotional words were said, Old Madam wasn't the only one shocked . Behind the filigree divider screen decorated with carved spirals, Wei Luo was also shocked .

Who was Zhao Jie talking about? Why didn't she recognize this person?

She, Wei Ya, and Wei Dong were sitting on elm wood chairs . They could clearly hear everything outside . Originally, she had just wanted to hear how he would propose marriage . She hadn't expected to hear this type of words .

Faced with the glances that Wei Ya and Wei Dong threw at her, she pursed her lips and looked rather shameful . While she felt that the situation was rather laughable, there was a growing taste of sweetness in her heart .

Zhao Jie really could say nonsense with his eyes wide open . . . . What did he mean by not daring to act rashly? Before her engagement with Song Hui was canceled, the times that he acted rashly weren’t few .

He said she was a little liar . Then, he was definitely a big liar . A big liar that acted outwardly saintly .

Wei Luo held her cheeks . Her dark, slippery eyes looked left and right . Her pink lips slightly curved up . Her little face looked slightly embarrassed . She wanted to rebuke him, but she also felt happy .

Wei Ya didn’t say anything .

Wei Dong was very honest in her admiration and envy . "Then, this means that Ah Luo will marry into Prince Jing's residence . We should call you Princess Consort Jing . . . "
