Chapter 178 Discussing How to Dislike
Shi Hui was also shocked when he learned that the Queen Mother wanted to match Ling Junqi and Princess Mingle.
"Yes, you heard it right. I want you to be the princess consort." He Tingxi nodded slightly.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Ling Junqi's mind, which he really couldn't understand or figure out.
"Why would the Queen Mother think of me? I don't have any official position now, so I'm not worthy of Princess Mingle. The point is, Princess Mingle, her personality..."
Ling Junqi became excited. At this point, he remembered that Princess Mingle was He Tingxi's sister, and he couldn't bear to say some unpleasant words.
Although Ling Junqi didn't say it, He Tingxi understood what Ling Junqi wanted to express. He comforted him, "Junqi, you don't have to say more. I know what you want to say. I won't agree with the Royal Grandmother, don't worry."
Ling Junqi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw He Tingxi's promise.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Shi Hui, who was watching quietly on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ling Junqi was still worried when he thought that this was the Queen Mother's decision.
"Your Highness, how do you plan to refuse the Queen Mother?" Ling Junqi was very curious.
Shi Hui also cast a curious look at He Tingxi.
"Refuse? The word refuse cannot be used to describe this matter. After all, Mingle is my sister. As the eldest brother, I cannot not care about her at all." He Tingxi responded helplessly.
"Yes, Your Highness is absolutely right." Ling Junqi realized his slip of the tongue and lowered his head slightly.
"So, I changed my approach so that the Royal Grandmother wouldn't see my dissatisfaction. I suggested to the Royal Grandmother that you let Mingle meet you first and let Mingle make the decision himself. If Mingle doesn't like you, let the Queen find a suitable husband for Mingle. After listening to my statement, the Royal Grandmother agreed with my decision. So, as long as you make Mingle look down on you, you will be safe." He Tingxi continued.
"Let Mingle look down on me? Then what should I do?" Ling Junqi was panicked and his mind went blank.
He Tingxi smiled.
"It's hard to make a woman like you, but it's very easy to make her dislike you. All you have to do is do something that makes her hate you when you meet her."
"Do something that disgusts her?"
Ling Junqi muttered, and soon a smile slowly appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I understand. I know what to do."
"I'm glad you understand. You get ready. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace and invite Ming Le to Prince Yan's Mansion as a guest. I will also let you two meet each other. Then, just try your best to act well." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes, I will, Your Highness, don't worry." Ling Junqi responded readily.
At this time, Shi Hui spoke.
"Your Highness, you are going to invite Princess Mingle to your mansion tomorrow. Is there anything I need to do?" Shi Hui asked cautiously.
He Tingxi looked at Shi Hui. Only then did he remember Ming Le's character and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "Please help me inform Butler Xiao that Princess Mingle will come to the mansion tomorrow, and ask him to arrange for the servants to clean the yard and keep the mansion clean and tidy. Also, after Mingle arrives at the mansion, try to let the young and pretty maids hide in the house and don't walk around. As for the guards, try to choose those with rough looks to stand guard, and the good-looking guards should try to stay in the house."
As soon as these words fell, Shi Hui and Ling Junqi were stunned.
"Your Highness, why is this happening?" Shi Hui asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why? Mingle has liked to compare since she was young. If she sees someone good-looking, she will definitely compare them to others, so I don't want to give her the opportunity to cause trouble." He Tingxi explained helplessly.
"Your Highness is wise." Shi Hui flattered.
Ling Junqi nodded, very satisfied with He Tingxi's arrangement.
"Then, where is the Queen?" Ling Junqi suddenly thought of Ling Xiyue and asked anxiously.
"Xiyue? I will explain it to her in detail and ask her to make preparations as well. You can rest assured." He Tingxi smiled faintly.
"Yes." Ling Junqi nodded. Thinking that He Tingxi had arranged everything for him, he felt much more relaxed and no longer depressed.
"Shi Hui, go and arrange it." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes."
After He Tingxi finished his work, he went to Ling Xiyue's yard. When he learned that Ling Xiyue was taking a lunch break, he did not disturb her. Instead, he went back to his room to rest for a while and continued to work in the study in the afternoon.
At 5 p.m., He Tingxi went to Ling Xiyue's yard and had dinner with her.
After finishing the meal, He Tingxi dismissed his attendants and sat down to talk with Ling Xiyue alone.
When Ling Xiyue saw He Tingxi's serious face, her heart skipped a beat.
"Tingxi, is there something important you want to tell me? I heard that you came over at noon, and when you saw that I was resting, you went back."
"Well, there is something I want to tell you."
He Tingxi nodded, and then told Ling Xiyue everything that happened in the palace today.
After hearing this, Ling Xiyue was stunned for a long time before she slowly spoke.
"I knew something would happen after my brother broke off the engagement. Sure enough, it was Prince Lu and his gang who were behind this again. How despicable." Ling Xiyue's face was full of anger.
Seeing Ling Xiyue getting angry, He Tingxi hurriedly comforted her, "Xiyue, don't be angry, I'll take care of everything. Haven't I found a solution? As long as Ming Rijunqi behaves well and tries hard to make Ming Le hate him, the problem will be solved."
Ling Xiyue's mood slowly calmed down, but when she thought of the things that made Mingle hate her, she asked curiously: "Well, did you teach my brother how to make Princess Mingle hate you?"
"No, I just told him to do something that would disgust Mingle. After listening to him, he said he understood, so I didn't say anything more. There's no need to teach this, right? There are many ways to make people dislike you. Junqi should have no problem." He Tingxi said truthfully.
Ling Xiyue frowned slightly, still feeling a little worried.
"But what if my brother thinks it's possible, but in practice, it doesn't have any effect? What if Princess Mingle not only doesn't hate him, but likes him instead? What should we do? We only have one chance, and we can only succeed, not fail?" Ling Xiyue couldn't help but remind him.
These words instantly reminded He Tingxi, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Yes, there is only one chance. What if we fail? Fortunately, Xiyue, you reminded me, otherwise it would be really dangerous. Xiyue, you are careful and thought of this. I thought that making people hate you was a very simple thing and did not require teaching. Now that I think about it, I still need to consider it." He Tingxi sighed.
"We should think of a solution together, and only implement it when all three of us think there is no problem. This way we can ensure that there will be no mistakes." Ling Xiyue continued.
"Xiyue, what you said is absolutely right. I'm glad I told you today. Do you have any good suggestions? You are also a woman, what do you think a man should do that would make you particularly disgusted?" He Tingxi was suddenly curious about Ling Xiyue's answer.
