Back at the Weiguo Mansion, Mrs. Xue glanced at Xue Jinyi coldly as if she was looking at an object that had been arranged, and said, "No matter what you do now, the sins and debts you made before will never change there." ”

Xue Jinyi's eyebrows didn't move, and she listened quietly to her counting.

"Even if you are the eldest lady of the Patriotic Mansion, it can't change what kind of virtue you are in the eyes of outsiders, and no one will be willing to marry a woman like you. Therefore, being able to marry the King of Chu is already a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, wait for the marriage date honestly, don't anger the emperor and queen, and affect your father and the entire Weiguo Mansion. ”

Xue Jinyi nodded, "This is the fate of heaven, of course Jinyi will follow the will of heaven." ”

Mrs. Xue sneered, and her tone suddenly became gloomy, "If the Weiguo Mansion suffers, you will be an official prostitute at your age and tortured to death." ”

"......" Xue Jinyi didn't expect Mrs. Xue to be so straightforward with a teenage girl, and she cooperated with her shrinkage, making Mrs. Xue think that her intimidation was quite successful.

Mrs. Xue pointed at Xue Jinyi's finger, about to poke her face, "With your appearance, I can help you do the best, I don't expect you to be grateful to me, but please firmly remember that you do your duty to be your princess Chu!" ”

Xue Jinyi lowered her eyes slightly, "Jinyi remembers her mother's teachings. ”

"Go back to your yard." Mrs. Xue flicked her sleeves and walked towards the main courtyard with her maid.

Xue Jinyi watched Mrs. Xue walk away, and then she took a step back to the broken courtyard.

When Mama Yao heard that Miss and Mrs. had been summoned into the palace, she was so anxious that she walked around the courtyard like headless flies, and finally waited for Miss to come back and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Miss, are you alright? Why did you suddenly summon you into the palace? ”

"I am going to get married to the king of Chu, and I will make a decree tomorrow ......"

Before the words fell, someone next to him squirted out a mouthful of water, almost splashing on Xue Jinyi's body.

"It can't be!" Xue Huai jumped up, his face full of disbelief, "Didn't the King of Chu agree to go to Baiyun Temple?" Didn't he leave yesterday, I swear, I told you after I made sure he wasn't home! ”

Xue Jinyi waved her hand and motioned to Mama Yao to wipe the mouth of the second young master with a handkerchief, "The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high." It's just that you're here, wait a minute, help me pass a note to my grandmother, you are clever and sweet-mouthed, you must comfort your grandmother well, don't let her old man worry about it. ”

She walked into the stove, wrote a note, put it in the basket, and pressed it with two plates of osmanthus lotus root flour cake, "One of the plates is for you, I made it myself." ”

Xue Huai didn't rush to eat the food made by Xue Jinyi like before, he was silent for a while, and said, "What are you going to do now?" ”

"Cold salad." Xue Jinyi shrugged.

"Hey!" Xue Huai was so anxious that he shouted.

Xue Jinyi looked at the little guy's anxious appearance for himself, covered his mouth and laughed.

It's really a little tsundere.

"It's over......" Xue Huai was stunned, "Xue Jinyi is really crazy." ”

"Alright." Xue Jinyi smiled and pinched the cute little face of this cheap brother, "I have my own plans, don't worry." ”

Xue Huai's eyes were shrouded in gloom, and he even forgot to open Xue Jinyi's "wolf claws", squeezed the basket tightly and whispered, "What if...... If there is anything I can help with, you must come to me, and you should not be reckless. ”

"I knew that the second brother was the most warm-hearted." Xue Jinyi said seriously.

"Humph!" Xue Huai jumped away and said unhappily: "If it weren't for my grandmother's request, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you!" ”

He stuck out his tongue at Xue Jinyi and grimaced, and then ran out of the broken courtyard with the basket in his arms, leaving only the tattered door panel to "squeak" and shake.

Mama Yao stepped forward to close the courtyard door, not wanting Xue Huai to come back again.

"By the way, the King of Chu has someone he likes!" He crossed his waist and glared at Xue Jinyi, "I went back to his house and saw it, the two of them are like husband and wife." This kind of man must not be married! ”

"I see." A hint of joy flashed in Xue Jinyi's eyes, but she didn't expect King Chu to be really shy and didn't say anything?

Xue Huai left angrily, scolding the King of Chu a hundred times in his heart.

I obviously have someone I like, but what are you doing to harm my sister?

Xue Jinyi is miserable enough!

Could it be that he took a fancy to the power of Wei Guogong?

Xue Huai snorted heavily, King Chu was shameless!

Mama Yao closed the courtyard door again and asked worriedly, "Miss, what should I do now?" ”

Xue Jinyi returned to the stove and saw Caiyun napping on a small bed that had been set up temporarily, "It's very simple, since the King of Chu has true love, he must be more anxious than me to sabotage this marriage, just wait for him to make a move." ”

As long as the king of Chu truly loves that woman, he will definitely act according to her proposal.

She picked up the lotus root flour cake and took a bite, then picked up a pot of tea, and leisurely returned to the West Wing to continue writing her plan.

No matter what happens now, life has to go on.

What's the use of being scared?

is dignified and defends the country's mansion, and the king of Chu will not climb over the wall to come in and kill people, so what should she do and what should she continue to do.

The wedding saint came as scheduled at noon the next day, and this time everyone in the Xue family did not gather together, and it was not the officials of the Ministry of Rites who brought the holy decree, let alone a huge guard of honor. Xue Jinyi stood in the flower hall, watching Mrs. Xue take the bright yellow scroll from a chamberlain with a light smile, and then stuffed a small bag into his hand.

The chamberlain said, "Congratulations to the Duchess of Weiguo, congratulations to Miss Xue." ”

"Thank you." Mrs. Xue nodded.

The chamberlain said again: "The queen mother has something to do in the past two days, so Miss Xue doesn't have to enter the palace to thank her." The wedding day will be arranged after the prince's wedding, and the exact day is still being discussed, and when it is decided, Miss Xue will be summoned to the palace. ”

"I see." Mrs. Xue asked her subordinates to send the chamberlain out, and then slapped the holy decree on Xue Jinyi's chest, "You can keep it safe." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Xue Jinyi to salute, and left the flower hall without looking back.

The flower hall was deserted, and only Xue Jinyi's master and servant were left.

The chamberlain didn't read out this holy decree, and Mrs. Xue didn't open it to take a look, Caiyun came up and urged impatiently: "Let's see what is written in the holy decree?" ”

"Look." Xue Jinyi handed over the holy decree to Caiyun, and she was not interested in reading it.

Caiyun didn't expect to be able to touch the holy decree in this life, so he opened it with trembling hands excitedly, and read: "Emperor Zhou decreed, Xue Jinyi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, was given marriage to Puyang Xuan, the king of Chu, and got married on a certain date. She frowned, flipped through the decree a few more times, "It's that simple, no?" Shouldn't I be like Miss Fang and praise you a few words? ”

Mama Yao said indignantly: "Although it is ...... But you can't be so perfunctory, right? ”

Caiyun muttered: "Maybe our eldest lady of the Patriotic Mansion has no merits to boast about......"
