Chapter 287 Princess Jiashu

On this day, as Wen Shan expected, the imperial edict really came.

When Duke Wen Bingyu of Haiguo learned that there was an imperial edict, he was puzzled. Is there anything special about suddenly sending the imperial edict? Did the princess of Marriage really choose their family? But there was no news at all before!

The eunuch You, who came to pass the order, was the eunuch You beside Yunwei, which shows how much Yunwei valued this matter.

Wen Bingyu took his family to receive the order, but Eunuch You did not immediately announce the order because he knew that the protagonist of the imperial edict was not on the scene. So he said, "Duke Hai, are you still missing someone?"

Wen Bingyu didn't react for a moment, and thought that his youngest son Wen Cejing was studying in Hanlin Mansion. He thought that Eunuch You was referring to this, and then said, "Grandpa You, Younger Brother Cejing is still in Hanlin Mansion. The rules of the Hanlin Mansion are also..."

"Mr. Ce Jing, our family knows that we are referring to someone else. If our family remembers correctly, Duke Hai should have a daughter, right? To be honest, the emperor's decree was given to her." Eunuch You reminded Duke Hai with a smile on his face.

"My father-in-law is referring to..." Wen Bingyu suddenly realized who Eunuch You was referring to, and he wondered in his heart how Wen Shan had always been unknown, so why could he suddenly arouse Eunuch You's ideas? In his heart, he still ordered someone to invite Wen Shan to come and receive the order, "Come, go and invite Miss Wen Shan!"

Not long after, Wen Shan was invited to the front yard to receive the order.

When Eunuch You saw the visiting person, he opened the imperial edict and recited, "Wen Shan, the daughter of Duke Hai, received the imperial edict."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Shan knelt down beside Wen Bingyu.

"In the time of Tianshun, I was ordered by this Ming. Wen Shan, the daughter of Duke of Hai, was beautiful and wise, and was virtuous and kind. I was very happy. I specially named her princess and gave her the title of Jiashu. I was given marriage to the princess of the Domain Kingdom, and since then, I have been in love with the Domain Kingdom, Qin and Jin. I am here."

"My daughter receives the order!" Wen Shan raised her hands above her head and took the imperial edict handed over by Eunuch You.

"Duke Hai Guo, really congratulations!" Eunuch You nodded to Wen Bingyu with a whisk, and then bowed respectfully to Wen Shan, "Princess, the emperor said that you want to enter the palace to prepare for marriage today. Tonight, the nanny from the palace will come to pick you up."

At this time, Duke Hai Guo who was standing beside him spoke, "Dadfather, is this too urgent? The matter suddenly happened. My daughter got married. As her father, I didn't have time to prepare a dowry for her." He was completely confused. He always thought that such a marriage would definitely not have anything to do with him. Even if it was related, it should be Wen Qian. But he didn't expect that the emperor chose Wen Shan.

"Hey——Duke Hai Guo is worried too much. Princess Jiashu is now the daughter of the emperor, and the dowry is prepared by the emperor himself. There is no need for Duke Hai Guo Guo to work hard. The princess is about to get married, so you should say goodbye to the princess. Our family will go back to the palace to serve the emperor, so we will go back first!" Eunuch You smiled and said with a smile on her face.

"Yes. Send me respectfully to my father-in-law!"

As soon as Eunuch You left, Wen Bingyu took Wen Shan to the study room. Wen Qian sneaked out of the mansion alone while everyone was not paying attention.

...

...

There are several osmanthus trees planted in a courtyard in the palace of Prince Zongjun. Now it is the season of flowers, Yuan Zhan and Lu Guqing sit in the center to appreciate the osmanthus.

The whole yard is filled with a refreshing fragrance, charming and long, making people feel refreshed. But Yuan Zhan is not in a state and absent-minded.

Lu Guqing, who was standing beside him, seemed unhappy to see Yuan Zhan like this, because she knew that Yuan Zhan looked like this because of another woman.

After a while, Lu Guqing finally couldn't stand this state. She stood up and said unhappily, "Did Brother Six show me this way?"

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Zhan was puzzled when facing Lu Guqing's sudden movements, and looked at her with his head tilted.

"What's wrong with me? I want to ask you what's wrong with you? This is how you come back from the palace! Since you can't bear to leave, why bother to the beginning!" Lu Guqing looked unhappy and said mercilessly.

"What did you say?" Yuan Zhan frowned. He knew that Lu Guqing was making trouble again.

"You know it in your heart!" Lu Guqing glanced at Yuan Zhan, turned his back and refused to look at Yuan Zhan.

"Qing'er-You're really thinking too much!" Yuan Zhan stood up and reached out to grab Lu Guqing's hand, but was thrown away by Lu Guqing.

"Do I really think too much? Don't touch me!" Lu Guqing shook his hand and took a step back, "I always say I think too much, but do you really think too much in this way? I also said, if you like it, stay, I have no objection!"

"When did I say I like her? But..." Yuan Zhan was indeed a little bored with Wen Shan's affairs and always felt that he owed her. He just let Wen Shan down on his feelings for him yesterday. Today, he personally used her as a tool to promote a political marriage. In a sense, she still helped him in all aspects.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhan suddenly realized that he was so ruthless and used a woman to achieve his goals. Although this marriage was not caused by himself, he brought Wen Shan into this game after all. He only respected her from beginning to end.

"Just what?" Lu Guqing asked angrily.

"I..." Yuan Zhan was about to answer, but heard Tianjiu's close report.

"Your Highness, Princess, Miss Wen-Hong from the Duke of Haiguo's house is asking for a meeting."

"Eh?" Yuan Zhan looked confused.

Lu Guqing was a little sarcastic and heard her say, "Oh! Our Highness is really capable. This has attracted both of them. I wonder if you can eat it?"

Yuan Zhan was speechless. He sat down and rubbed his eyebrows, paused for a while, and said to Tianjiu, "Tell her that I have no time to see her!"

Before Tianjiu could respond, Lu Guqing took the lead and said, "Why don't you see me?"

"Aren't you unhappy that I saw her?" Yuan Zhan said helplessly.

"Did I say that? If it is spread, people will say that I am a jealous woman. Before I marry the Sixth Prince, I started to take care of the Sixth Prince! Do I want face?" Lu Guqing bulged his mouth and turned his head, looking arrogant.

Yuan Zhan really didn't know what to do? This was obviously a jealous expression, and he deliberately pretended to be calm. No matter how jealous his Qing'er was, he was so beautiful and cute!

He curled a smile on the corner of his mouth and tried to pull Gu Qing's hand. Seeing that she did not refute, he pulled her into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and he leaned against her neck, saying, "So that's what Qing'er thinks?"

"What am I thinking? Let me go!" Lu Guqing fluttered in Yuan Zhan's arms, but the touch on her neck made her feel soft.

"Don't let it go!" Yuan Zhan tightened his hand to prevent Lu Guqing from breaking free, and continued to bewitch her ears, "I love you and take care of me. Whoever dares to speak out, I will destroy his whole family! Sooner or later you will be my imperial concubine, this is called adapting to the role early!"

"I'm not used to it!" Lu Guqing was still struggling, but Yuan Zhan kept imprisoning her, "Who loves to adapt, go!"

"Who dares besides you?" Yuan Zhan took a bite of Gu Qing's earlobe with a slight punishment.

"Hiss-Sixth Brother!" Lu Guqing was in pain and couldn't help but shout, the sound was extremely pitiful.

"Uh..." Tianjiu, who was waiting for Yuan Zhan to respond, expressed a little embarrassment, but he was still very conscious and had long turned his back and refused to look at them. He was a little helpless. Can the two masters give a correct word first, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do it! So he pretended to cough and said, "That... I said your highness, so... can you see me?"

"not see!"

"See!"

The two of them answered a different answer together.

"Uh..." Tian Jiu was helpless, so who did you listen to? He turned around and glanced at Yuan Zhan for help, "Your Highness--"

"Qing'er, stop making trouble. It's really nothing, what am I seeing?" Yuan Zhan lowered his head and said seriously.

"Wen Qian was scared like that by you before! Now he dares to come to you alone. He must have to come to see you if he has something to do. So it's better to meet him." Lu Guqing curled his lips.

"Oh, Qing'er is still thoughtful. Then let me see you. Tianjiu, let her come in." Yuan Zhan nodded and curled the corners of his lips again, "Qing'er is obviously thinking about me, but what she said is so sour, and I dare not act rashly. I would say this a bit earlier, so there is no need to be so troublesome." As he said that, he stole a scent with a smile.

"Let me go!" Lu Guqing blushed and pushed Yuan Zhan away, "Since I want to see her, I will avoid it first."

"What are you avoiding? There is nothing shameful about it! You said that she was so scared by me before. Isn't she nervous again when she let her see me alone? Be good, obedient, sit well!" Yuan Zhan surrounded Lu Guqing and held her on the stone bench next to her.

...

Wen Qian came to Yuan Zhan under Tianjiu's guidance.

"See Your Highness, Princess." Wen Qian carefully saluted Yuan Zhan and Lu Guqing.

Yuan Zhan was laughing at Lu Guqing. Even though Lu Guqing didn't want to laugh now, he just glanced at Wen Qian casually, "No gift."

Lu Guqing was forced to sit aside, but did not respond, lowered her head and played with the little palace bell worn on her hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Why did Miss Wen Qian suddenly want to see me?" Yuan Zhan picked up the teacup on the stone table and leaned close to him and sniffed the fragrance of the tea.

"Wen Shan...she..." Wen Qian wanted to ask Yuan Zhan and Wen Shan suddenly became a marriage princess, but she didn't know how to speak.

"It seems that the imperial edict has arrived." Yuan Zhan took a sip of tea.

"I thought..." I thought you wanted to marry Wen Shan, otherwise why would you say that to me at that time? Even when the imperial edict came, I thought I wanted to give Wen Shan to you. But I never expected that it was the princess of marriage!

Lu Guqing sat aside. Although she was not interested in the conversation between him and Yuan Zhan, Wen Qian did not dare to continue talking.

"What the hell do you want to say?" Yuan Zhan asked.

"I..." Wen Qian held his thumb with his hands. She bit her lip and suddenly knelt down, "Your Highness, I know that my mother and I had run into Princess Luguqing before and made you angry. But Your Highness promised me that I will bear the blame alone and will not implicate my family!"

Hearing this, Yuan Zhan officially raised his eyes to Wen Qian. Lian Lu Gu Qing couldn't help but look up at her. He bent his fingers and rubbed his nose and said, "I have indeed promised you. But I don't understand what you mean."

"Why did you choose the Duke of Haiguo in marriage with the territory?" Wen Qian seemed to have to muster up the courage to question Yuan Zhan.

"Oh?" Yuan Zhan raised his eyes meaningfully at Wen Qian, "The marriage princess is not you, but your sister Wen Shan. Haven't you always dislike your sister? Now that she is about to marry far away, she will never appear in front of you again. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"I don't like her!" Wen Qian immediately retorted, his voice even with a little crying voice, his eyes were red, "No..." As she said that, she lowered her head again.

Yuan Zhan frowned and made no sound.

"I don't like her. It's because she doesn't like me." Wen Qian said very wrongly, which made people feel soft when they heard it. "When I was a child, she was unwilling to pay attention to me and didn't want to play with me. That's why... I deliberately snatched her things and wanted her to see me more. But she was still getting further and further away from me..."

"Sometimes the more you care, it will be counterproductive. You and Wen Shan's misunderstandings need to be clear to her. The imperial edict has been issued, and you have not had much time left. Go back." Yuan Zhan stood up and walked to Wen Qian's side, gently lifted her up, "Tianjiu, take the gift from me prepared by the king."

"Your Highness——"

"Wen Shan asked for it himself, and I have never forced her. But if you said these words earlier, the ending might not be like this. Because she said she had no nostalgia in this city, but if she knew this, she would at least have one more you in this city." Yuan Zhan knew that his words were like a knife inserted straight into Wen Qian's heart, but he still had to say that, because this was the only way for their sisters to let go of their past grudges.

"What...what!" Wen Qian was stunned for a moment, and even more swallowed with one hand covering his face.

"Your Highness." At this time, Tianjiu came to Yuan Zhan with a gift box.

"This is the gift I prepared to Wen Shan for my congratulations. I originally wanted to give it to her on the day of my marriage, but now you are here, so you can give it to me for me. Go quickly, your sister is waiting for you!" Yuan Zhan smiled slightly, and his face, Ruo Qiuyue's face looked particularly bright in the golden osmanthus.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Qian took the gift box handed over by Tianjiu and bowed to Yuan Zhan. This was the first time she felt that Yuan Zhan could be so gentle.
