"Marriage? With whom?"
Elder Zong Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood when he saw Situ Xingchen's expression.
"and you!?"
Situ Xingchen nodded gently.
"Father has this intention."
Elder Zong Ye was extremely surprised.
Yaochen Kingdom and Xingluo Kingdom didn't have much contact before, so why are they suddenly getting married now
And he actually had Situ Xingchen’s idea!
"What do your father think? There is nothing outstanding about Rong Jin, and judging from what you just said, he is even more narrow-minded and incapable of greatness. He is not worthy of you at all! "
Even if it wasn't Rong Xiu, it should be some other young talent. How could it be Rong Jin!
Situ Xingchen didn't seem to take it seriously and said with a smile:
"After all, he is the prince of Yaochen Kingdom. He is not completely incompetent to be able to reach this day. You may have underestimated him. Moreover, although this matter has not yet developed, my father is very insistent. He must have his reasons. You Say what?"
"I'm not optimistic about this marriage anyway!"
Elder Zong Ye snorted coldly.
"If it really happens, wouldn't you have to stay in Yaochen Kingdom in the future? Since that Rong Jin has done so many ridiculous things, he has proved that he is not qualified to take on the big responsibility! Although he is still the prince, this position You may not be able to sit here for long! Xingchen, don’t worry, when that boy comes tomorrow, I will definitely stop this marriage! As long as I am here, your father will not dare to force you! "
Situ Xingchen's eyes flashed slightly.
"Elder Zong Ye, Xingchen knows that you are doing it for my own good. But after talking to you so much today, I actually hope that you will agree to the marriage tomorrow."
"What!? Are you really going to marry that boy Rong Jin?!" Elder Zong Ye looked at Situ Xingchen in disbelief, "You, you didn't marry him because Rong Xiu wanted to marry someone else. Is it from the royal brother?"
Situ Xingchen burst into laughter.
"You are overthinking. How could I do something like that? I really agree with this marriage. You also know that not many people knew about this matter before. If you suddenly say it, you will definitely be criticized by many people. Objection. But if you can express your opinion tomorrow and express your agreement, then others will certainly not say anything more."
Elder Zong Ye has a very high status in Xingluo Kingdom. As long as he opens his mouth, this matter will definitely go smoothly.
"My Xingchen, have you really thought about it?"
"yes."
Elder Zong Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Situ Xingchen's determined expression.
"Okay! In that case, I promise you!"
Situ Xingchen's smile deepened.
"Thank you, Elder Zongye."
Yaochen Kingdom, Royal Palace.
It was already dark, but the Queen and Rong Jin were still discussing something in the room.
"You are going to Star Luo Kingdom tomorrow. This marriage must be successful." The queen looked very serious. "This is your best opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know how long you will have to wait."
Rong Jin nodded: "My son knows. Don't worry, Situ Xingchen and I have already passed the letter, and there won't be any problems with this matter."
The queen relaxed a little and leaned back on the chair, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"That's good. I asked you to find a way to enhance your relationship with her before, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
Rong Jin also laughed, looking quite satisfied.
"It is said that Situ Xingchen is the most shining pearl in Xingluo Kingdom. Ever since she was born, countless people have asked for marriage, but she has never agreed. I thought that she would be difficult to get close to, but unexpectedly, I just wrote a letter , she will."
"Maybe she has been interested in you before, I can't tell."
The queen looked at Rong Jin and smiled.
"For women, love is the most uncertain thing."
It is said that Situ Xingchen has a high vision, but when he meets someone like Rong Jin, he is easily attracted to him.
Rong Jin originally had no special feelings for Situ Xingchen, but such a beauty who was extremely outstanding in all aspects favored him, which of course greatly satisfied his vanity.
Because of this, his attitude towards the marriage has changed dramatically.
He was a little reluctant before, but now, thinking about meeting Situ Xingchen and making an engagement tomorrow, he felt an inexplicable expectation.
"In short, you have done a good job in this matter. When you arrive, try to finalize this matter as soon as possible. As long as the engagement is finalized, your position as prince will be stable." The queen sighed, "In this way, Zhenzhen will be Now that your father knows about it, we can have a trump card."
Rong Zhen asked worriedly:
"Have you found anyone yet?"
"There is no news at all. It's like he has completely disappeared from the world."
If there was still no movement in the palace, she would have thought that Rong Zhen was dead.
But obviously not.
Rong Zhen was just secretly hidden somewhere by someone, and they had been looking for it for so long, but still couldn't find it.
The queen didn't know how she spent these days in fear.
Last time Emperor Jiawen proposed to visit Rong Zhen, he suddenly received a letter from Xingluo Kingdom and was delayed.
And the content of the letter, she later guessed, was still related to the marriage.
Because Emperor Jiawen lifted Rong Jin from house arrest not long after that, and his attitude towards him also improved significantly.
"You are leaving tomorrow. For this reason, your father specifically asked Zhenzhen to see you off today, but I stopped him. Your father is busy with you and Situ Xingchen and cannot take care of it for the time being. Zhenzhen. But he already has suspicions, and this matter cannot be hidden for long. As long as you can resolve the marriage as soon as possible, your father will weigh the pros and cons and will definitely not do anything to our mother and son."
Rong Jin nodded.
"My son, I know."
Leaving the palace.
Rong Xiu was sitting in the study, writing something.
Yan Qing and Yu Mo were waiting aside.
The light of the glazed octagonal lamp shines on the jade-like face.
He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids, like a wisp of smoke floating above the bright moonlight, cold and noble.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped writing.
Yan Qing and Yu Mo both cheered up and looked up.
Rong Xiu picked up what he had written, read it again, and placed it on a clear and shiny square jade in front of him.
The moment the two came into contact, the square jade suddenly emitted a faint phosphorescence.
It turns out that the top of the square jade stone is sunken, and there is a very shallow inlet inside.
That thing melted when it met the water, turning into waves of light on the surface of the water.
After a moment, the light dissipated, the water surface returned to calm, and gradually penetrated into the interior of the jade and disappeared.
At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary piece of jade, with nothing surprising about it.
Rong Xiu pushed the thing forward and said calmly:
"Send this back."
Yan Qing took a step forward and carefully picked up the thing.
However, at this moment, he saw a cluster of golden light suddenly appear on the white fingertips of Rong Xiu's long sleeves!
He was shocked and said:
"master-"
