Liu Ruyan's eyes met Zuo Xiangning's, then turned around and ran away quickly.

Zuo Xiangning turned her head again, and Jiang Ruoxue asked in a low voice: "Is Marquis Jingyuan the former Crown Prince of Zhongyuan Marquis? Later he was said to be dead, and then he appeared in the capital alive and was named Jingyuan Marquis..."

"Jiang Ruoxue!" Jiang Ruolan called her sister's name warningly.

Jiang Ruoxue quietly stuck out her tongue and asked the waiter to show her a white bottle of rouge.

Zuo Xiangning was secretly thinking, why did Ling Xiao go to Prince Xian's Mansion so early?
She spent the whole morning shopping with the Jiang sisters. At noon, she went to a nearby restaurant and ordered six dishes and one soup, which made Jiang Ruoxue grin from the corners of her mouth to her ears with joy.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Jiang Ruoxue as if she had seen her former self.

When she saw food before, she was the same as her. Her third brother always called her, "Little Greedy Cat."

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Zuo Xiangning served her a rice soup. "This soup is also delicious. Add some chili oil and vinegar to make it taste better. Do you want to add some?"

"Okay, add a little more." Jiang Ruoxue said with shining eyes.

Zuo Xiangning added a little bit of spice and vinegar to the soup for her, and said dotingly: "Try it."

Jiang Ruolan looked at the two of them and smiled: "Just pamper her."

"She's still young." Zuo Xiangning smiled and filled a bowl for Jiang Ruolan, "You can try it too."

"Thank you, Fourth Sister." Jiang Ruolan took it with a smile.

The three of them finished their meal and drank a cup of tea before leaving the restaurant and going to the bookstore.

In the evening, the three of them returned to Zuofu carrying their purchases.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her two excited granddaughters and asked with a smile, "What did you buy? Are you four sisters exhausted?"

"We bought a lot of good things. Fourth sister also brought you a box of rouge." Jiang Ruoxue handed a small cyan box to Mrs. Jiang, "What do you think of this?"

Mrs. Jiang took some rouge and smeared it on the back of her hand, spread it gently with her hand, took a look at it and said, "This rouge is really good, better than what we sell in Cangzhou Lijiazhuang."

Zuo Xiangning smiled and said: "Then when you return to Cangzhou, I will buy a few more boxes for you."

"I don't want it. I'm so old. If I apply these things again, won't I become an old monster?" Old Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "You little girls should keep it for use."

Zuo Xiangning returned to Xianglanzhai. When she was lying on the bed, she was still thinking, what happened to Ling Xiao?

Did you enter the palace today?

Zuo Xiangning called Bingyu in and asked, "Did you see Marquis Jingyuan when you went to the Marquis Mansion yesterday?"

"No, I told Changfeng." Bingyu said: "Changfeng handled the matter very safely. He said he would report it to Marquis Jingyuan."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, and after Bingyu left, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes hard, "Don't pull her down!"

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that Ling Xiao would never be angry with her like this, and she didn't know where she got the confidence.

Bingyu left the room, but she was a little nervous. She went to the Hou's Mansion yesterday. With how much the Hou paid attention to the fourth girl, he would come to see the fourth girl no matter what happened last night, but he did not come.

Thinking that the Marquis only stayed for two-quarters of an hour before leaving the night before, Bingyu felt even more panicked.

She stood outside the door for a while, then turned around and went to the Hou Mansion again.

But when they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, they learned that the Marquis had drunk too much in Prince Xian's Mansion.

Bingyu thought of Li Wenji, frowned secretly, and quietly returned to Zuofu.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xiangning looked at Bingyu's dark circles and joked with a smile: "Did you go to practice last night?"

"No...no." Bingyu looked away. She dreamed last night that Marquis Jingyuan married Li Wenji, and she couldn't sleep well all night. Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and asked strangely: "What are you hiding from me?"

Bingyu looked at Zuo Xiangning with surprise, wondering how she guessed it right.

"You can deal with others with ease, but you can't tell a lie to Marquis Jingyuan and me." Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile: "Tell the truth, what exactly is going on?"

Bingyu's eyes drifted, and his face looked a little ugly.

"Is it related to Marquis Jingyuan?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and said, "If it has anything to do with him, tell me quickly and don't hide anything."

"Yesterday the Marquis went to Prince Xian's Mansion. He drank too much and didn't wake up until the night." Bingyu explained: "I went to the Marquis' Mansion because I was afraid that you would be worried about the Marquis."

Zuo Xiangning heard that Ling Xiao drank too much at Prince Xian's Mansion, and felt a little uncomfortable, "Do you know why the Marquis went to Prince Xian's Mansion?"

"I don't know." Bingyu shook his head, "Changfeng said that the Marquis was drinking with King Xian in his room, and no one was waiting in front of him."

Zuo Xiangning almost asked, Li Wenji is not here either?

But she held back and didn't ask.

Li Wenji should not be around.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Her good mood suddenly fell halfway.

Old Mrs. Jiang called her over to discuss going to Jingyin Temple tomorrow, but she was indifferent and couldn't cheer up.

"Is Girl Ning sick? Why does she feel like she's wilting?" Mrs. Jiang asked worriedly.

"No." Zuo Xiangning cheered up and said with a smile: "I was thinking, let's have vegetarian food at Jingyin Temple at noon tomorrow? The vegetarian food there is delicious."

"That's fine." Old Mrs. Jiang said, "The last time I ate the vegetarian food at Jingyin Temple was the year your eldest brother was born. In the blink of an eye, it's already been more than twenty years."

"Then let the housekeeper book two rooms." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

As soon as Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, there were scattered footsteps outside, and then Caixia's voice sounded outside the door, "Old lady, fourth girl, the eunuch who passed the order from the palace is here."

"Pass the message?" Old Mrs. Jiang sat up straight.

Zuo Xiangning's heart moved, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Jiang, "Shall we go to the front yard to have a look too?"

"Everyone, let's go together." Old Mrs. Jiang stood up, supported by Zuo Xiangning, and took the Jiang sisters to the front yard.

As Zuo Xiangning expected, the eunuchs in the palace came to announce the decree of marriage.

Everyone in the Jiang family was shocked when they heard the imperial edict.

Min Yujia's eyes first looked at Mrs. Jiang quietly, and saw that although there was a look of surprise on her face, it was not very obvious. Then she looked at her husband diagonally in front of her, and there was no sign of surprise on his face at all.

Her panic suddenly returned to where it was before.

After Zuo Zixi sent the eunuch who delivered the order out, Mrs. Jiang quickly held Jiang's arm, "What should we do? Why did the emperor think of granting marriage to Xiang Ning and Marquis Jingyuan? Then Marquis Jingyuan didn't Is he the former Prince Zhongyuan? What kind of figure is he? Your elder brother said that he was an overlord..."

"Mother." Ms. Jiang hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Jiang's words and helped her walk to the main room. "If you have anything to say, let's go back to the room and talk slowly."

"We can't delay this matter..." Old Mrs. Jiang was really a little anxious, "Can't Xiang Ning enter the palace at any time? Let her enter the palace to see the queen, and ask the queen to make the decision for us."

Jiang persuaded in a gentle voice: "Mother, this matter is not as simple as you think. Let's think about it carefully."

Mrs. Jiang frowned and looked at Zuo Xiangning, who had her head lowered. "Xiang Ning, you and your sisters go back first. Your mother, I, and your eldest brother..." Mrs. Jiang turned to Jiang again, "Let someone Go and call your father back, we have to discuss it carefully."
