The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 96 Princess Consort
  "Mom, in your opinion, status must be very important."

Now that spring has just begun, most of the trees in the house have not yet grown leaves, and the sunlight can spread all over the ground, making people feel a little warm.

"Lu Xu is the only son of the eldest princess's house. The eldest princess and the consort are a loving couple. It's a story in Beijing. My mother is just an ordinary person. Of course, I also hope that you can have a good place to go and be free from worries in this life. .”

"You may still be complaining about why my mother is so cruel, but when you become a mother, you will know that her actions are all for your own good."

It's for my own good again. Wen Jiu felt helpless.

"Mom, my daughter is too undisciplined and always brings trouble to my mother and father."

"Don't say that. No matter what, your father and I will hold you in our hands and keep you in our hearts, and we will never harm you."

Wen Jiu smiled and nodded, how could she not know?

But more than the protection of her parents, she wants the freedom of the outside world.

Her father and mother did not feel sorry for her, it was her who felt sorry for them and failed to meet their expectations.

Wen Jiu suddenly thought of what happened last night.

It's not the fireworks, but the conversation I heard in the princess and the consort's courtyard.
  "Mom, why does the prince-in-law suffer from hysteria?"

Mother Wen's expression changed slightly, and she quickly covered Wen Jiu's opening mouth.

"Where did you hear this? The prince-in-law is not hysterical. Don't let your father hear this."

Wen Jiu felt strange in her heart that the consort was suffering from hysteria, even though she had not been in Beijing all year round, she had heard about it.

Is this still something that cannot be mentioned?

"Mom, is this a secret? When my daughter was in the academy, she heard someone discussing it."

"That's ridiculous. The prince-in-law is just in low spirits and seldom goes out. Don't talk to them. He is the prince-in-law."

Wen Jiu refused to give up. His mother was so taboo, so there must be something going on in the princess mansion.

"Why is the consort so mentally ill?"

Mother Wen stopped at her feet and said, "What's going on with you today? Why do you suddenly want to inquire about the princess's mansion?"

Wen Jiu was stunned and quickly thought of an excuse.

"Ah, I. Didn't dad just mention my marriage to Lu Xu again? You think the eldest princess's mansion is a good place to go, so you want to ask more. I have seen the eldest princess since I was a child, but this prince consort I’m not familiar with it.”

She tries her best to seem sincere.

"Alas, I don't know exactly what condition this consort is in."

"There are almost no banquets on weekdays. Even the palace banquets were fooled by the eldest princess with just a few words."

"The emperor is not close to the consort, or in other words, the consort is not close to the emperor. If he is serious about it, the emperor is the eldest princess's biological brother, so how can he not have an official position and a half-job position?"

"It was also the eldest princess who announced that the prince-in-law was feeling unwell, not hysteria as you mentioned. You should avoid discussing this in the future."

Mother Wen explained patiently.

Although there are some words that have not been spoken, it is tacitly understood by everyone that Wen Jiu will marry into the eldest princess's house.

It was reasonable for her to want to know about the Prince Consort's illness.

"Mother, did the prince-in-law suddenly feel unwell?"

If he had been in poor health, how could he be the eldest princess's consort?

When the late emperor was still alive, the eldest princess was the most noble and favored princess, just like the fifth and sixth princesses.

How could such a person marry a consort in poor health?
  "That's not true, I just don't remember where I started talking about being a mother."

After a few words, Wen Jiu was dismissed.

Nothing was asked.

But at least Wen Jiu knew that the so-called hysteria was discussed in private.

The more something is concealed, the more true it becomes.

If the prince-in-law was hysterical, then it would make sense for him to stab Lu Xu on his birthday.

Back in the room, Wen Jiu heard rustling outside the window.

It was the master's reply.

"Don't think about it, don't look back."

What does this mean? Don’t let yourself go back?

But when he returned to the capital, his master only said that he would complete the ghost hunting order in the capital and return to Qingyun Mountain in half a year. Why did you change your mind today?
  Don’t miss it, don’t look back?

I don’t think about it, but I want to go back.

So she reluctantly wrote two more letters.

One is for Jiang Yaoxi, and the other is for his junior brother Zhou Lingran.

He is the master's youngest apprentice, and he is highly valued and close to the master.

She wanted to ask why she wasn't allowed to go back.

As for Jiang Yaoxi's letter, this is already the third letter.

Normally, senior sister would reply to any letter she received, but for some unknown reason during this time, she didn't even write or reply to a letter.

Is something going to happen?

Wen Jiu frowned secretly.

It doesn't matter, since my parents don't want to leave on my own, and my master won't let me go back.

Lu Xu was still in the capital, and his injury had not healed.

My little life is still tied to him.

It's better to stay put for now.

I have to go back to the academy tomorrow, otherwise I will be scolded again.

Before I knew it, February was almost gone.

Seemingly overnight, the bone-chilling cold was driven away by the true arrival of spring.

Finally, I no longer have to wrap myself up in heavy cotton clothes, which makes even sitting in a carriage feel crowded.

Several people seemed to have developed the habit of arriving at the study room early.

I just saw the palace servant next to the Sixth Princess packing things on her desk.

"What is this doing?"

Wen Jiu had a bad feeling. She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about the Sixth Princess.

"Miss Wen, the Queen has given orders that the Sixth Princess must return to the palace to prepare for her marriage. She must learn some rules and will not come to the academy to study with you in the future."

Seeing that it was Wen Jiu, the palace man quickly stood up and replied.

"To be married? To whom?"

Wen Jiu still couldn't believe that Si Huai'an, the most pampered and favored sixth princess held in the palm of the emperor's hand, would actually be sent to get married.

"The Holy One granted a marriage, and the sixth princess was named Princess Ding'an and went to Daliang to get married."

"Daliang."

Wen Jiu said in a daze, she had heard her senior brother mention that the barbaric land was very barbaric.

People there drink cow blood and eat raw beef, which sounds scary.

Si Huai'an was a noble man and had been pampered since he was a child. How could he endure such suffering?

"Where is the princess now?"

"Probably packing things in the room."

Wen Jiu turned around and left the study, and warned: "If sir comes, just say that I am saying goodbye to the Sixth Princess and I will arrive later."

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, the four palace people at the door stood with their heads bowed, their expressions not very good.

Wen Jiu walked in from outside the yard and asked softly: "Is the princess in there?"

The nearest palace servant nodded and said with some worry: "Slaves are not allowed to go in and clean up inside."

Wen Jiu felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

Although she didn't grow up with Si Huai'an, she was affectionate.

Si Huaian always protects her and thinks about her.

But now, watching the Holy Emperor promise the envoy from Daliang in the court, he promised her out like an object without hesitation.
