Ting Yu poured the overnight tea for Jiang Tangzhou, and was about to go to clean a whole set of tea sets, but heard some movement behind the wall. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her ears are sharper than ordinary people's. When she heard the word "Zhen Wang", she couldn't walk, and she pressed her ears to the wall in a panic.
After Jiang Tangzhou played a game of blindfold chess, Ting Yu came in with small steps, and closed the door as soon as he entered the room.
Jiang Tangzhou looked up and asked her, "What's the matter? They were in such a panic that even the door was closed."
Ting Yu bit his lower lip, first made tea for Jiang Tangzhou, bit the skin of his lower lip while making tea, and played tricks: "Master, guess what I heard them chewing their tongues outside ?”
Jiang Tangzhou laughed lowly, first messed up the winning chess game, and then said, "Why do you still look like this when you arrive in Hengguo, and listen to everyone's walls?"
Ting Yu was so anxious that he hurriedly put down the things in his hands and went up to him: "Master, I didn't listen to someone else's, I listened to your wall!"
After a pause, Jiang Tangzhou slightly raised his eyes, "Oh?"
Ting Yu hurriedly poured out what he had heard: "Just now I was washing the tea mug for you, when I suddenly heard the word Zhen Wang, I went up to listen carefully, and they actually said that you are going to marry the prince of Heng Kingdom. marry!"
"Pfft—" The sip of tea that Jiang Tangzhou had just put into his mouth spewed out straight away, and Tingyu's face was covered.
Ting Yu was speechless, touched his cheek and said, "Master, I'm not wrong, is this the root of your wall?"
"..." Jiang Tangzhou frowned, "Are you really listening?"
"Nonsense, my feet were numb from squatting there just now! I don't know who spread the rumor... Wait," Tingyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Tangzhou and said, "Could it be the prince himself..."
"Probably not," Jiang Tangzhou said with a serious expression, frowning slightly, "The spread of such words will do him a hundred harms but not any benefits. After all... it seems that he is forcing Emperor Lingyu to make an order. But... "
"Although I don't know the benefits of being married to me, there are definitely benefits..." Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, "Ting Yu, go and help me invite the prince over now."
Ting Yu was stunned: "Ah? But there are rumors and gossips about the two of you right now, if you invite him to come to your door now, wouldn't it be more..."
Jiang Tangzhou chuckled: "I just think you're right. Maybe he spread the rumor? If he spread it, let him suffer the consequences. If it wasn't him... I have to see it too. How should he deal with the situation." After all, if you want to marry him, you can't solve this trivial matter.
Just for a moment, Jiang Tangzhou could be said to have figured it out—anyway, no matter who he married, since he came to Hengguo and went through this experience, it must be done.
Think about the temperament of the third and fifth princes... Forget it, Yin Wenzheng is more suitable.
At least for now, Yin Wenzheng is also the only person he has not offended.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tangzhou waited so long, he waited from morning to dusk.
He didn't know to come back to report a letter in the middle of listening to the rain, so he waited there, and finally greeted Yin Wenzheng at dusk.
She remembered Yin Wenzheng's face, and when she saw it, she almost lost her mind. It was Yin Wenzheng who pretended not to know her, and then let this go. But along the way, listening to the rain can be described as uncomfortable in every possible way.
After finally bringing Yin Wenzheng to the destination, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, that's it." After finishing speaking, she didn't go to see her master, and hurriedly covered her face and fled.
Yin Wenzheng stood outside the door amusedly and said, "I heard that King Zhen wants to see Gu?"
There was a sound from inside, and he pushed the door open and entered.
Jiang Tangzhou sat in front of the desk, playing chess.
Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "You can't see this, what kind of chess is it playing?"
"Blind chess." After Jiang Tangzhou finished speaking, he still explained, "This is a jade chess specially made for me by a skilled craftsman. I can touch it with my hands to determine what kind of chess I am holding at the moment."
"What's the current situation?" Yin Wenzheng asked him.
"It can only be remembered." Jiang Tangzhou smiled and said, "If you can't remember, you can only rely on touching. However, most of the time, I can remember."
"I'll accompany you." Yin Wenzheng sat down on his ass, first touched his chin to ponder the current situation, and just touched a piece, put it down, and then let it go and said what kind of chess he was playing.
However, Jiang Tangzhou didn't seem to trust him, so he reached out and touched him.
Yin Wenzheng gave a "tsk" sound, "They're both going to be husband and wife, why don't you believe me?"
"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest..." Jiang Tangzhou paused, "but when disaster strikes, they fly separately."
"You seem a little pessimistic." Yin Wenzheng chuckled, but his men moved a chess piece calmly.
As soon as he moved, Jiang Tangzhou reached out and grabbed his wrist.
After a silent confrontation between the two, Yin Wenzheng finally opened his mouth: "I'm just probing, why are you so serious?"
Jiang Tangzhou said casually: "So the rumors in the palace are also yours to test?"
Yin Wenzheng half-closed his eyes and smiled: "Guess."
Yep, just because of these two words, Jiang Tangzhou guessed it.
Fortunately, he still trusted him before, thinking that he couldn't do such a way of forcing people to get married, but it turned out that he thought of him too kindly.
"Angry?" Yin Wenzheng held Jiang Tangzhou's hand instead, placed it on the chess piece he wanted to move just now, and said, "Look, didn't I put it back for you?"
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes, restrained his expression, and looked calm: "It's not really angry."
Because of Jiang Tangzhou's reaction, Yin Wenzheng felt a little guilty, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Since you sent someone to invite me, come to think of it, that question already has an answer."
"I already had an answer, but now I'm hesitant." Jiang Tangzhou said lightly.
"Don't—" Yin Wenzheng coughed uncomfortably, and said, "Let me make a little joke with you... Besides, I won't force you, how could you figure out the joint?"
"Then have you ever thought about it, if this rumor spreads and I don't let go, what will happen to you?"
Yin Wenzheng turned his head even more guilty: "I went to meet the emperor early this morning, and begged him to replace the person you married with me."
Jiang Tangzhou: "..."
"Anyway, I'm just an idler." Yin Wenzheng said, "It's all about occupying the name of a prince, and this name will be lost anytime and anywhere. It is also good for him to marry you... At least, in a few days Among the princes, the most suitable person to marry you is, in his opinion, me."
Jiang Tangzhou remained silent for a while, and after a long time, he said: "So you already knew that the marriage between you and me is a foregone conclusion, why did you come to find me and make this fake deal with me?"
Yin Wenzheng just looked at him.
Sweeping from his eyebrows to his slender fingers, and finally sinking into his thin arms covered by sleeves.
After a while, he chuckled lightly, concealed his emotions, and said, "So, King Zhen, are you married?"
Jiang Tangzhou drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, and said calmly, "Marry."
