Chapter 159: Suspicion
She noticed the peony flower in Xue Jinyi's hand and glanced at the King of Chu with satisfaction.
This kid is getting better and better at coaxing girls to be happy.
"Therefore, I told your father that the prince's matter needs to be covered up, and the wedding date of Xuan'er and Jinyi will be advanced and done lively, and now the people will definitely talk about it, and the rumors of the prince can stop for a while."
The King of Chu was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother ......"
The eldest princess waved her hand, "Xuan'er, I know what you're worried about. I told your father that your marriage date is well done, the previous rumors are self-defeating, and will no longer endanger the reputation of the royal family, and the discussion of you, as long as you are guided a little, will eventually be a praise for the emperor! ”
King Chu's face softened a little, and he arched his hand and said, "My nephew and grandson thank my aunt and grandmother." ”
"Come," beckoned the eldest princess to their approach, then shook their hands and sighed, "The most important thing is that you can get married smoothly." However, because I still have the matter of resettlement of refugees, your father was afraid that I would work too hard, so he handed it over to the Ministry of Rites. Besides, if I do something for you again and again, your father will be suspicious. ”
"The nephew understands." The king of Chu responded.
Xue Jinyi couldn't help but look at King Chu with some distress.
It's so tiring to be so careful in front of your biological father......
The eldest princess rubbed their hands with pity, and said to Xue Jinyi: "Although the time is a little tight, I will take care of the Ministry of Rites and make proper arrangements." Jinyi, you can wait to be a bride with peace of mind and get married in a beautiful way. ”
Xue Jinyi pretended to smile shyly, lowered her head, and whispered, "Jinyi thank you Grandmother." ”
"Family, what do you say thank you for, it's too out-of-the-box." The eldest princess looked at the soon-to-be-married man and woman dotingly, "The wedding date is certain, as if it gives a reassurance, and it is right for you to change your name in and out." ”
She felt a sense of relief.
Cai's family died by himself step by step, and ruined the good situation with his own hands.
When Empress Cai thought of the marriage between the crown prince and the king of Chu, her son had to marry aggrievedly as a noble prince, and the king of Chu, who had never looked down on him in pomp, was angry and vomited blood, right?
"Speaking of which, you two seem to have stayed in the palace for a while, where did you go?" The eldest princess stared at them and asked with a smile.
"......" Xue Jinyi "boomed" in her head, and her lips ached faintly.
The eldest princess's tone seemed to know something......
It's all to blame on King Chu, this bastard.
The King of Chu said calmly: "I have been standing in the Liangyi Hall for too long, so I am walking slowly. In order to compensate for today's hard work, the nephew took Jinyi to the wine shop for dinner. ”
"Oh?" King Chu's words successfully made the eldest princess change the subject, "Is it delicious, do you have any ideas?" ”
Huh? The eldest princess accepted the statement of the king of Chu, does she not doubt him? Xue Jinyi settled down, "The wine and food are delicious, but they are slightly lacking, so Jinyi wants to assist Ah Xuan in running the wine shop together." ”
"Okay," the eldest princess nodded, she liked to see them working together, "I think that with Jinyi's help, the business of the wine shop will definitely be more prosperous and the wealth will be abundant." ”
Xue Jinyi glanced at King Chu again, and then smiled sweetly to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was full of liking, so she also said another "happy thing", "After you left, Zhuo Shen arrived at the Liangyi Palace, and the emperor severely reprimanded him, fined him for half a year, and needed to take out thirty taels of gold to appease the refugees." After the second lady Zhuo was reprimanded by Queen Cai, she was directly sent to the Cai family's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, claiming that she was recuperating from her illness, and her eldest daughter-in-law Yan Wanyue would also be sent in the name of serving her mother-in-law. ”
poisoning innocent people, affecting the reputation of the emperor and the eldest princess, and the result is just such a punishment? Xue Jinyi was a little angry in her heart, but looking at the faint smile on the eldest princess's face, she felt that the punishment was not so simple.
King Chu said: "In this way, my father, Cai's family, and Zhuo Shen have mutual dislikes, and Zhuo Shen's son wants to enter the Longwu Army will also be delayed, which will affect his future son's inheritance." As a result, the forbidden army of the Cai family can be leveraged. ”
"Exactly." The eldest princess said with a smile, "Over the years, the power of the Cai family has been deliberately laissez-faire, and through these things, your father realized that the Cai family is inevitably lawless, and it is time to suppress it." ”
Xue Jinyi understood, and smiled lightly.
The atmosphere in the flower hall is warm and peaceful, like a family.
In the corner of her eye, the coldness on King Chu's body melted again.
There was nothing else to do, the eldest princess went back to the main courtyard to rest, and Xue Jinyi and the king of Chu also returned to the guest courtyard together.
"Rest early." Under the Moon Cave Gate, the King of Chu whispered to Xue Jinyi.
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded, feeling that she had something to say, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
King Chu stared at her, "What do you think about the wedding date?" ”
"It's nothing, it's good......" Xue Jinyi counted the days, and it was only half a month.
I used to be busy with my career, and I didn't think about falling in love and getting married.
After crossing here, I wanted to live independently, but I didn't expect to have a "marriage" with a man, and I was going to get married in the blink of an eye.
Now, she's feeling amazing.
Although I don't have much opinion on King Chu, it's useless to have it...... But there was a sense of melancholy in my heart.
Is it because you haven't experienced a romantic time in love?
Or is it all coming too fast?
Wrong...... Xue Jinyi woke up from her thoughts, and she wanted to hammer her head.
With such an identity and environment, what kind of hypocrisy is she?
Xue Jinyi raised her head and met the eyes of the King of Chu, only to realize that he had been silently and patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.
"Listen to my aunt's meaning, it's not a good thing for us to stay in the eldest princess's mansion for a long time, and over there in the Weiguo Mansion, I can't stretch my legs and feet for the time being, so it's better to get married early, and it's more convenient for us to do things." Her tone was flat, and her expression could not show the slightest joy and expectation for marriage.
The King of Chu asked slowly, "That's it?" ”
"Or else?" Xue Jinyi's attitude was a little tougher, and she asked funny: "What about you?" It doesn't mean that the wedding date is too early, right? ”
"Nope." King Chu denied it, and then a smile appeared on his face, "I can't wait for the wedding date to be tomorrow." ”
Xue Jinyi hugged her arms and snorted coldly, "I went to sleep." ”
"Wait a minute." King Chu stopped her, "Do you have any wishes for marriage?" ”
A sea of colorful flowers appeared in Xue Jinyi's mind, but she shook her head at King Chu, "No, the Ministry of Rites will arrange it anyway, right?" ”
With that, she strode towards the wing, and only looked back when she reached the door.
The King of Chu waved at her.
Xue Jinyi was stunned for a moment, pushed the door and entered the house.
In the next two days, Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu traveled back and forth between the capital and Lantian County as usual, busy with the affairs of the refugees, and the two had a tacit understanding to arrange some things early, just waiting to free up time and go to a small wine shop again.
On the day when she was about to go to the small wine shop, Xue Jinyi packed up and came to the flower hall with the king of Chu, ready to say good morning to the eldest princess, but saw Mother Yang appear in front of her.
The eldest princess drank tea with a faint face, and Mother Yang saw Xue Jinyi and came forward with a smile to salute in a formal manner.
“…… Miss Jin, the palace sent a female official to teach rules and etiquette, so Mrs. invited Miss Jin to return to the mansion. ”
