Chapter 134 The Bridge Storyteller

"Yes." Yun Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You are considerate. You are already worried about the relationship between the father-in-law and the husband-in-law before we get married."

"Don't be glib!" Xie Zhaozhao frowned: "I'm serious with you! The prince just cares about you."

"I know."

Yun Qi took a long breath, and his expression was a little complicated for a while: "When I came back this time, I felt that he was much older and in poor health...Actually, you are right, he just hates me."

"I feel that I am indulged in the love between my children. I feel that everything I do is to get you better."

Yun Qi pulled his lips slightly and smiled: "This is his prejudice against me."

"I do want to be with you forever." Yun Qi raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhaozhao and said seriously: "But I also know who I am, where I am, and what I should do."

Xie Zhaozhao encouraged: "Then show him and let him understand!"

……

Xie Zhaozhao left after a while.

Yun Qi ordered Lu Hanqiu to come.

While the two were talking, Nanny Li heated up chestnuts and brought them to the room. Wen Yan said, "I brought them just now."

Yun Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled from the corners of his lips, and pinched one to eat.

Lu Hanqiu also wanted to pinch one.

But the hand he stretched out was glanced at by Yun Qi so lightly, staring at it as if he had been stabbed. After a moment, Lu Hanqiu withdrew his hand with a smile: "Your Highness is really stingy."

"It's good that you know." Yun Qi said lazily: "You can handle the affairs of Mo Baozhai more efficiently."

"Understood." Lu Hanqiu nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the book "The Romantic Powerful Minister and the Pretty Lady" on the table, and couldn't help but focus on it.

Yun Qi asked: "This book is good and suitable for you. Do you want to take it back and read it?"

"..." Lu Hanqiu was silent for a moment, "I have seen it."

After Xie Zhaozhao left Miaoshan Hall, on his way back, he told Hongxiu to pay attention to the "Qiaotou Storyteller" and buy all the storybooks he wrote home.

By the time we got back to the house, it was already getting late.

At that time, I didn't bother to spend the night at Yunqi's place. I was a little hungry along the way, but Xu was overly hungry. When I returned to Wangyue Tower, I didn't really want to eat anything anymore.

But Xianggui still insisted on preparing a noodle soup and two plates of side dishes for Xie Zhaozhao.

While Xie Zhaozhao was eating, he was thinking about what the prince had just said, and also remembered what Yun Qi had said about Chu Nanxuan's identity.

The son of a princess from the previous dynasty wandered among the princes of the new dynasty, and he definitely had ulterior motives.

But how to reveal his identity and let the emperor know?
Yun Qi said he was trying to provoke the King of Zhou and the King of Liang, but he didn't know how to do so.

That's it.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes.

She settled Xie Xingchen's matter first.

No rush, come one by one.

For the next period of time, Xie Zhaozhao lived a very peaceful life. He went to Mr. Miao's place every day to contact the copper-maker, occasionally had meals with Mr. Yu, or went with Mr. Yu to visit Xie Jiajia.

She hardly goes out by herself.

Xie Xingchen also seemed to be at peace at home and was serious about getting married.

The palace sent two serious nuns to teach Xie Xingchen the royal etiquette.

Soon it’s the end of October.

On the eve of the wedding, the lights in Yilan Garden were brightly lit.

Xie Xingchen couldn't sleep. She looked at the boxes and cages hung with red silk and covered with red paper all over the yard, feeling a little confused and uncertain.

Do you really want to get married like this?
Mr. Dou couldn't sleep either, half worried and half excited.

Of course, Xie Xingchen was worried about the days after he arrived at Prince Liang's Mansion.

Prince Liang was not easy to get along with, and Xie Xingchen didn't know if he would like him.

As for the concubines of Prince Liang's Mansion, she had already spent a lot of money to inquire about them, but they were not cheap at all.

What if Prince Liang doesn't like Xie Xingchen and won't help her.Aren’t the concubines of Prince Liang’s Mansion going to bully their daughter to death?
The other half of the excitement was for He'er.

Two days ago, Concubine Ning summoned Xie Xingchen into the palace to talk and briefly mentioned a few words.

Because the incident at the Guanyin Hall five years ago was not honorable, we could not announce to the world that He'er was born to Xie Xingchen.

But Heer will still be her child.

After Xie Xingchen entered Prince Liang's palace for a period of time, he would issue a decree to raise the child in her name, and he would also be included in the royal jade certificate.

This undoubtedly raised Xie Xingchen's worth.

The mother of the emperor's grandson.

Even if Liang Guogong Xie Wei saw him, he would still have to show courtesy.

Seeing the lights on in Xie Xingchen's boudoir, Madam Dou calmed down, went up and knocked on the door, "Xingchen."

"mother."

Xie Xingchen's voice of agreement came from inside the house. After a moment, the maid Shuangxu opened the door and said, "Madam, please come in."

After the dowry incident, Xie Xingchen's anger towards Mr. Dou finally subsided.

The mother and daughter held hands, and Mrs. Dou advised her gently: "Good boy, after arriving at Prince Liang's house, you must try your best to please Prince Liang... He has many concubines in his house, and he is not a young and reckless young man. He has seen many women. He must have a bad temper and patience."

"When something happens, think more carefully, be patient more, and don't get angry at will. If you annoy His Highness Prince Liang, your life in the house will be difficult."

"I know."

Xie Xingchen has thought a lot during this period and has long understood this truth, "I will pay attention to it after I get married."

After talking to each other for a while, Dou persuaded Xie Xingchen to take a rest early before leaving Xie Xingchen's room.

Xie Xingchen walked her to the door and saw that after she came downstairs, she did not go to rest. Instead, she slowly turned to the window and stared at the cages in the yard below, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Shuangxu came in from outside: "Miss, everything is ready according to your instructions."

"How much money was used?"

"100 taels." Shuang Xu whispered back, "That woman earns less than 100 taels of silver per month. She won't be able to earn [-] taels for several years, so she agreed immediately."

"The slave girl covered her face at that time, only her eyes were exposed, and then after giving her the money, she deliberately talked to the bearer."

"As expected, she was following behind and eavesdropping. Now she must think that this slave is someone close to Miss Seventh. When the incident comes to light, Miss Seventh will only be traced."

"It's done well." Xie Xingchen sneered: "It makes no sense for me to be so miserable and ask them to watch the show... I must make them lose face, dog bites dog, and a hairy mouth!"

At the end of October, the weather in Shengjing was already very cold, and water would turn into ice if poured out in the morning or evening.

A cold wind blew, and Xie Xingchen couldn't help but shudder.

"Miss!"

Shuangxu hurried forward, took a cloak and covered Xie Xingchen, "Stop standing at the window, be careful to catch a cold."

pat.

Xie Xingchen lowered the window edge, returned to the bed, and rested under Shuang Xu's care.

Shuangxu exited the room and went all the way back downstairs to his room. He felt a cold wind blowing through his collar, making him shiver with cold.

"This winter is so cold... It's only October and it's freezing to death." Shuangxu muttered twice, hugged his arms and ran as fast as he could, rushing back to his room.

The mother-in-law who was keeping vigil for Xie Xingchen in the corridor was also severely cold. She started to tremble after a short time of support.

Outside the courtyard, the patrolling soldiers of Duke Liang's Mansion happened to pass by. They were wearing armor and holding halberds. They looked mighty and safe.

The old lady crossed her arms and stamped her feet.

After a while, a group of patrolling soldiers passed by.

There seemed to be more people patrolling tonight.

Yes, tomorrow is the wedding, and there will be many wedding guests. The house must be packed tonight to ensure that everything goes smoothly tomorrow.

The mother-in-law thought about it for a while, then stomped downstairs and went to the back to warm herself by the fire.
