Chapter 51: Fate
Xue Jinyi caressed the soft skirt and said with a smile: "I'm standing here, it's you who don't wait for me to change clothes, but blame me, who taught you to be so good at shirking responsibility?" ”
The mother-in-law choked, beckoned the two girls, and buried herself in changing clothes and makeup for Xue Jinyi.
A quarter of an hour later, Xue Jinyi looked at herself in the mirror, dressed decently and generously, and set off this ordinary face a little beautiful, and the maids hung a small rabbit jade pendant on her waist, and took out a pair of jade bracelets for her.
The mother-in-law picked out a delicate beaded flower, inserted it in her bun, and praised it vigorously: "Miss is so beautiful, everyone will love it." ”
“…… I'm not a silver ticket. Xue Jinyi muttered and returned to Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue smiled and beckoned, and when Xue Jinyi obediently walked over, she took out a jade pendant from the brocade box at hand, "Change this." ”
The maid stepped forward, took the jade pendant with both hands, and replaced the little rabbit jade pendant on Xue Jinyi's body.
Xue Jinyi took a closer look, and the rectangular jade pendant was carved with Guanyin Bodhisattva.
She is a person who is related to Buddhism, and she can't refuse this jade pendant, otherwise the lie will be exposed, and Mrs. Xue will have no fear.
Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Jinyi from head to toe twice, it felt like she was looking at a piece of goods, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go into the palace."
Half an hour later, Xue Jinyi followed Madame Xue to meet Empress Cai, and beside Empress Cai stood a monk with a white beard, holding a tin staff, his eyebrows compassionate and solemn.
As soon as they finished saluting, the eldest princess arrived, followed by the black-clothed and cold-faced King of Chu.
Xue Jinyi glanced at him, and the eyes of the two were calm and unfamiliar.
She sighed in her heart, she had already expected what would happen in the palace, so when she actually saw it with her own eyes, she was not surprised.
The eldest princess raised her hand to signal everyone that there was no need to be polite, and said to Queen Cai: "I just met the emperor. Then, she looked at Xue Jinyi again, smiled kindly and nodded, "My peony flowers have bloomed very well in the past two days, and the day after tomorrow, please ask Duchess Wei Guo to take the ladies to my house to sit down." ”
She walked over and held Xue Jinyi's hand, and after seeing the Guanyin jade pendant on her waist, the color of love between her eyebrows and eyes became stronger.
"From now on, we'll be a family."
Xue Jinyi pretended to be stupid and looked at the eldest princess with an ignorant and innocent expression.
The eldest princess nodded to the white-bearded monk beside Empress Cai, "Master Yonghua is a high-ranking monk who has traveled all over the world, and he happened to return to the capital recently, so I asked the master a few questions, and then ordered the seal of the Qin Heavenly Prison to be calculated. Although Xuan'er is destined to bring evil, it is not without a solution, Jinyi has the Bodhisattva's favor and has the Buddha's breath on her body, which is the person who can help Xuan'er resolve the evil. ”
Mrs. Xue's face was happy at this time, as if it was the first time she had seen Master Yonghua and heard about it, "Then in the future, won't His Royal Highness the King of Chu no longer have to be criticized?" ”
"Exactly." The eldest princess nodded, looking at Xue Jinyi and King Chu with satisfaction, "Bao Zhangzheng said that Xuan'er and Jinyi are destined to marry, and they will definitely be harmonious and happy after marriage." ”
Empress Cai also looked at them with a loving face, "I have heard about the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, I think that when she was drafted, she was extremely beautiful with a hairpin in one hand, and the emperor only praised her alone, it turned out that she was very close to our Puyang family." Now Xuan'er's fate and marriage are planned, and those of us who are elders don't have to worry about Xuan'er every day. ”
She showed a motherly appearance, which was moving.
Mrs. Xue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief exaggeratedly, and said with a little choked up: "We are mothers, which one is not worried about our children." Now that I can see their happiness, I can finally rest assured. She came to Xue Jinyi's side and raised her hand to rub her shoulder, "Jinyi, your biological mother can rest assured in the spirit of heaven." ”
is not her biological mother, but she is so worried about her children, the eldest princess saw it in her eyes and nodded approvingly.
"yes." She took King Chu's hand again and put it on the back of Xue Jinyi's hand, "I have already told the emperor that I will give a decree to marry tomorrow, and if I think of this situation, the Marquis of Hucheng will also understand." ”
The palms of the King of Chu were slightly cold, and Xue Jinyi lowered her eyes to look at their overlapping hands, not feeling good in her heart.
She planned for a long time, but in the end she couldn't escape this hand?
"Thank you for your love."
The voice of the King of Chu sounded in her ears, which made Xue Jinyi quickly restrain her thoughts, if she behaved abnormally at this time, or directly refused to give marriage, angering the eldest princess, Empress Cai and Madame Xue, then she would be infamous as "ignorant and compassionless", and even lead to death.
She smiled faintly and bowed, "Jinyi thanked the eldest princess." ”
She looked up, and the eldest princess was smiling, her eyes were full of joy and relief, and she seemed to be the only relative in this world who really cared about and loved King Chu.
Looking at Empress Cai and Mrs. Xue again, the former was relieved, and the latter looked proud of the success of the conspiracy.
They all got the results they wanted, but no one asked her and the king of Chu "whether they are willing to get married".
Or modern society is good, this damn feudal dynasty.
Xue Jinyi could only complain silently in her heart, and then listened to the eldest princess say: "The weather is good today, two young people go to the garden for a walk and talk." We women are talking, and you think it's boring to hear. ”
She was hoping for this, so she could ask what happened to the King of Chu and why he appeared in the palace when he went to Baiyun Temple.
However, Xue Jinyi first pretended to be shy, grabbed her sleeves with her fingers, lowered her head and did not speak, and then was led out of Fengyi Hall by the palace maid.
On the long road, the king of Chu walked a few steps and said coldly to the palace maid behind: "You stand farther away." ”
The palace maid obediently stopped her pace, and did not keep up until Xue Jinyi and King Chu walked more than ten steps away.
Xue Jinyi glanced back, lowered her voice and asked, "Shouldn't you have been in Baiyun Temple yesterday?" ”
The king of Chu had his hands behind his back, like a pine and cypress standing proudly, but under the early summer sun, he exuded a cold meaning all over his body, which made people not want to get close.
"Yesterday, I went into the palace to face the saint and wanted to explain the matter but was stopped." King Chu's tone was as calm as a puddle of stagnant water, "When the palace door was locked, I didn't see my father, and I was forced to stay in the palace for one night." Until today, when I saw the eldest princess, I knew that she had seen Master Yonghua and had a way to resolve the so-called ferocious qi. ”
Xue Jinyi slapped her head, and at the critical time of competing for efficiency, they lost.
"How nice it would be for you to leave......"
She also knew that if the King of Chu left without saying a word, then she would not be able to clearly convey to the outside world the purpose of the King of Chu's visit to the Buddhist temple.
Too lazy to think about whether it was Empress Cai or Mrs. Xue who calculated the King of Chu yesterday, she rubbed her eyebrows, "You don't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry you, we all know this." Now that the emperor has given marriage, is there anything else you can do? ”
The King of Chu was silent, and his gaze fell into the distance.
Xue Jinyi couldn't tell if he was in a daze or thinking about the problem, and sighed: "Speaking of which, I have a solution." ”
"Oh?"
Xue Jinyi squinted at King Chu's cold face, "It's just that you're dead." ”
