"You've been delayed by many things these days, and there have been some mistakes in your business..." Shen Xihe has never told Bu Shulin that Xiao Changmin suspected her identity. Xiao Changmin and Concubine Shu have reached an agreement to test Bu Shulin on the day of his wedding with Yu Sangning.
Concubine Shu did not tell her the method of testing. It was up to Xiao Changmin to decide. He would inform her on the same day. Xiao Changmin was cautious, which Shen Xihe felt was reasonable.
"Will this matter alarm His Majesty?" Bu Shulin's expression immediately became serious.
"Yes." Shen Xihe nodded. "Prince Zhao is a stubborn person. He will definitely find someone to test you. But if you escape, it will definitely alert His Majesty. You are also of marriageable age. I am afraid His Majesty will use this opportunity to force you to marry. Madam Xiao is willing to marry you. The princess is the Crown Prince's person. Madam Xiao said that she owed you her life, and she also wants to get rid of her current predicament..."
Xiao Wenxi didn't want to marry just anyone, but her daughter's blooming period was here. If she refused to get married, whether His Majesty would intervene or not was another matter, but even rumors could affect her mother and brother, so she planned to marry Bu Shulin.
After listening to this, Bu Shulin became solemn and remained silent.
Shen Xihe was too lazy to move today, and it was rare for him to think about Bu Shulin's thoughts, so he looked at the person next to him and said, "This is the substitute I found for you, but your voices are very different. Take it back, keep it by your side, and use it carefully."
The person must be handed over to Bu Shulin, because only Bu Shulin can make the person have the same temperament as himself.
Bu Shulin looked at the stand-in, then at the tired Shen Xihe, and bowed deeply: "Yo Yo, I appreciate your kindness."
She was deeply touched. Shen Xihe was so good to her that even her father couldn't compare to him.
She did not stay in the Eastern Palace for long. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the Eastern Palace and had gone to the Council of State. It was not convenient for her, a foreign man, to meet the Crown Princess for too long. She was sent out by Mo Yuan, and with the token of Shen Xihe, who held the power in the palace, she had a smooth journey.
Bu Shulin brought him back, which shocked Jinshan and Yinshan for a long time. The master, servant and two others looked at each other for a long time before they began to discuss how to train people. Finally, they unanimously decided to take a two-pronged approach, not only saying it verbally, but also having people follow them and learn from them.
But such a substitute, in addition to mountains of gold and silver, cannot be detected by others. In the end, this person stayed directly in Bu Shulin's house, guarding the bedroom during the day and guarding outside the bedroom at night. In short, he could not leave Bu Shulin's house.
On this day, Bu Shulin received a message from her father, asking her to meet someone secretly. She simply let a substitute stay in the house to replace her, and she quietly left to wait at the meeting place.
Bu Shulin's stand-in has been copying her handwriting in the house these days, striving to be able to write similar characters as soon as possible.
While copying, he pulled a piece of paper below and accidentally overturned the inkstone, spilling ink all over his body. His face, neck, and hands were all covered with ink. It was difficult to clean up, so he simply asked Yinshan to prepare bath water for him.
It happened to be this day that Cui Jinbai went to invite Bu Shulin several times, but he didn't see him. His patience had reached its limit. With the help of Sui Axi's acupuncture, he recovered faster than Xie Yunhuai expected. When he felt the strength in his arm, he immediately ran to Bu's house.
