After Dongfang Rao heard Qi Zheng briefly explain what happened at the Plum Appreciation Banquet, he also talked about the Ninth Prince's request for marriage from the Emperor.
She almost jumped up, the Ninth Prince is so infatuated with Sheng Peiyin, no one knows better than her, what does it mean that he wants to marry Shen Zixin now? Just find someone as a substitute
"Has the emperor agreed?" Shen Ziqiao asked anxiously, the emperor would not agree to the Ninth Prince's request to marry Shen Zixin to him, would he
Qi Zheng naturally understood what Shen Ziqiao was worried about, he nodded lightly, "The emperor has already agreed, by now... the imperial decree should have arrived at Shen's house."
"I'm going to beat that bastard to death!" Shen Ziqiao angrily wanted to rush out the door, but Qi Zheng snatched her back and held her in his arms.
"Who do you want to beat up? Beat up the Ninth Prince? The emperor gave her a marriage, what can you do?" Qi Zheng looked at her amusedly, like an angry little beast.
Shen Ziqiao snorted, but she was not reconciled to being bullied by the Ninth Prince. She thought it was the Ninth Prince's revenge against the Shen family, and he was still standing up for Sheng Peiyin, "You don't know that he can save Sheng Peiyin without taking his life, who knows Does he want to take the opportunity to take revenge this time, I can't let Xin'er marry him!"
"If he was really doing it for Sheng Peiyin, then why did he expose her at the plum appreciation feast? Why didn't he help Sheng Peiyin secretly?" Qi Zheng asked back, he is also a man, he thinks that no matter how much a man loves a woman, there is something With dignity, the Ninth Prince should have awakened.
Shen Ziqiao didn't think so, she didn't think the Ninth Prince had forgotten about Sheng Peiyin, maybe the Ninth Prince also participated in everything at the Plum Appreciation Banquet.
"There must be another conspiracy!" Shen Ziqiao said with absolute certainty.
"What kind of conspiracy can there be in marrying your sister?" Qi Zheng asked, if he really wanted to deal with the Shen family, the Ninth Prince would definitely not use the trick of asking for a marriage.
Shen Ziqiao thought for a while, then suddenly asked suspiciously. "That's right, why did he ask for a marriage decree? What's wrong with our Shen family? The traitor is obviously the Sheng family, even if the Ninth Prince wants to take revenge... What kind of revenge does he take? It's none of his business!"
Qi Zheng laughed out loud. "What are you worrying about? The imperial decree has been issued. Even if you want to object, you can ask Fourth Aunt what she thinks."
"What else can she think?" Shen Ziqiao muttered. Even if Shen Zixin was unwilling, the Zhou family would not agree, "Is there something wrong with Sheng Peiyin's brain? She knows who she is. She even went into the palace. It's hard for her to survive now."
If it's all right, then Goldfinger is too bad.
"She still thinks that the Sheng family was wronged." Qi Zheng said. He heard that this woman kept shouting wrong in Lihai in the dark prison. He wanted the emperor to avenge their Sheng family, saying that it was Shen Xiao who framed their Sheng family.
Shen Ziqiao coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "This woman's thinking is also against the sky."
Forget it, let's not think about Sheng Peiyin, she'd better go back to the city tomorrow and talk to Shen Zixin.
"Let's go back tomorrow!" Shen Ziqiao lay down, planning to take a good rest. Only tomorrow will I be able to return to the city in spirit.
"No, at least you have to be in good health, otherwise what should you do if you get caught in the wind after going out? Don't stare, I won't agree, take good care of your illness." Qi Zheng resolutely refused her request, anyway, go to Shen's house tomorrow It's the same as going to Shen's house in a few days.
It is impossible for the Shen family to resist the decree, not to mention that only they know about the Ninth Prince and Sheng Peiyin, even if the members of the Shen family knew that the Ninth Prince had entangled with Sheng Peiyin, they would only treat it as the Ninth Prince's love affair and would not take it seriously of.
"I'll be fine tomorrow." Shen Ziqiao buried her face in the cup and said in a muffled voice.
Qi Zheng laughed, "We'll wait until you get well tomorrow, and you'll have to take medicine later."
So bitter! Shen Ziqiao turned her face to refuse, but Qi Zheng immediately said, "Otherwise, how will you be better tomorrow?"
Well, her sisters love each other deeply, so in order to get better quickly, she can only drink that kind of bitter traditional Chinese medicine without hesitation.
It would be great if there were western medicine...
Shen Ziqiao thought about it, and finally fell asleep in depression.
Qi Zheng looked at her sleeping state, smiled and kissed her on the cheek, then quietly left the room and walked to the study in the west wing.
Uncle Qun was already waiting there.
"Eldest young master." Uncle Qun bowed and said in a low voice, "Master Uncle has received news that the Sun family seems to be ready to move."
Qi Zheng walked to the back of the desk with a serious expression, and looked at the letter from the uncle of the Lu family, which mentioned the recent frequent actions of the Sun family behind the scenes.
There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "What is the Sun family trying to do? The prince's wife? This kind of rumor can also be imagined, I don't know what it means."
"Thinking like this, the crown prince will not be able to marry the young lady of the Beitang family." Uncle Qun said.
"It may not be that simple. Keep an eye on the Sun family." Qi Zheng said flatly, that for Concubine Sun to have the status she has today, the old man of the Sun family and her elder brother must have done a lot for her. Don't be afraid, if their goal is to prevent the crown prince from marrying Beitang Zhenjing, then it is even more impossible.
You are not joking, the prince and Beitang Zhenjing are already fiancées, this matter is well known in the world, and it is impossible to change it.
"Eldest young master, you and the Ninth Prince...will be brother-in-law soon, and the Ninth Prince's support for the crown prince may be even firmer," Uncle Qun said.
Becoming brother-in-law with the Ninth Prince... This sentence sounds really mysterious.
"Young master!" There was a knock on the door of the study, it was the voice of another hidden guard of Qi Zheng.
Uncle Qun went to open the door.
"What's the matter?" Qi Zheng asked with a frown. This hidden guard was named Tang Tian, who was arranged by him to watch Little Gu in the capital. Since he appeared here, it proved that Little Gu didn't know what he had done.
Tang Tian said, "Little Gu entered the palace early in the morning, and when he came back, he was all smiles. I'm afraid he went to see Concubine Sun Gui."
Qi Zheng's eyes darkened slightly, "Have you entered the palace?"
"Yes, after I came back, I immediately called Qi Feng to talk about Qi Feng's marriage." Tang Tian replied in a low voice.
Could it be that Xiao Gu wanted Concubine Sun Gui to ask the emperor for an order to give Qi Feng a marriage
It's ridiculous, do you think that the emperor will give marriage to anyone
"Uncle Qun, please give the prince a message to return to the Empress Empress. It will be even more troublesome if you let Concubine Sun insert someone from their Sun family into our Qi family." Qi Zheng said in a deep voice, thinking Little Gu still hasn't given up so far. Does he think it's time to break up with her formally and warn her not to do anything that hurts the Qi family behind her father's back
"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Uncle Qun replied immediately, and then showed a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" Qi Zheng asked.
Uncle Qun frowned, and looked at Qi Zheng worriedly, "Someone saw the Hu family's mother and daughter...appearing in Bianzhou City."
Qi Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy like the sky about to storm. Bianzhou City is only a few miles away from the capital, and they can go back and forth in half a day. What is Hu trying to do
"Does the Duke know?" Qi Zheng's voice was still calm, but the uncles who knew him well knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment.
"This... probably hasn't been known yet," Uncle Qun said.
"Then let him know." Qi Zheng said flatly.
Uncle Qun was taken aback, isn't this going to ask the Duke to pick up this woman? He looked at Qi Zheng disapprovingly, "Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid...it's not good."
It's better to take advantage of the Duke's ignorance and quickly get rid of him, so as not to appear in the capital for the rest of his life.
"What's wrong, for Hu's sake, he doesn't even care about my mother's serious illness, so why can't he do what I expect for this girl?" Qi Zheng sneered, Xiao Gu once used Hu's After killing his mother, he can now use the Hu family to make the little Gu family lose everything completely.
Uncle Qun fell silent.
…
…
The capital, Anguo Gongfu.
After Xiao Gu came out of the palace, she was in a happy mood, as if the grievance accumulated in her chest disappeared in an instant, and the smile on her face became brighter. When she went to greet the old lady, facing the old lady's indifferent attitude, she He can also talk and laugh freely without being affected at all.
"Let's see, when Brother Feng gets married and becomes the heir, I see how much that old woman will be partial to that bastard. Back then, Mrs. Lu couldn't beat me, and her son couldn't beat me either!" Little Mrs. Gu lay on the long couch. , holding a gilt silver cloisonné enamel hand stove with hundreds of flowers in his hand, looking out of the window with a smile in his eyes.
"Ma'am will definitely get what you want." Mother Su said with a smile.
"I just didn't expect the Ninth Prince to marry the fourth lady of the Shen family. In this way..." Xiao Gu frowned, "Could it be that the girls of the Shen family are all angels!"
Su's mother added, "That's right, this Ninth Prince is really a weirdo. When Shen Ziqiao chased him before, he said in front of everyone that he would never marry a woman surnamed Shen, but now he said it by himself." Slapped yourself in the face."
"What did you say?" Little Gu's eyes lit up, thinking that he had misheard Mama Su's words, "Our eldest young lady knew the Ninth Prince before."
"Oh, ma'am, you haven't heard the rumors from outsiders before. This Shen Ziqiao really doesn't want any face. She doesn't know why she won't marry unless she is the Ninth Prince. Why does Eldest Young Master fall in love with such a woman?" She was so affectionate that it made people jealous.
Little Gu laughed, "I really didn't expect that little bastard Shen Ziqiao could do such a thing. So, the person she likes in her heart is the Ninth Prince?"
Mother Su said, "This, the servants don't know."
"Whether it's true or not, as long as everyone thinks it is, then it must be." Little Gu's eyes lit up, if everyone knew that Qi Zheng married a woman who belonged to him, what would happen
What if this woman gave him a cuckold
It's so funny! Little Gu's mood is unprecedented.
"... I can't divorce this woman again. The Duke must be disappointed with the Eldest Young Master. When the time comes, the second young master will definitely be the son of the prince." Mother Su said flatteringly.
