Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 21 The Decree
In a blink of an eye, it is the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September.The sun and the moon run side by side, the two nines overlap each other, all the horsetails fall, and the chrysanthemums bloom.The annual temple fair was held on Fuliang Mountain as scheduled, and all the people in the county flocked to the temple fair to enjoy the chrysanthemums.The streets in the city suddenly became deserted, which made Yayoi feel a lot easier.

The haunting case of the Zhou family was closed half a month ago.

Even though Zhou Yanqing was partial to Xue Ningbi, he couldn't stand being deceived by an unknown woman, so he took the initiative to tie Xue Ningbi to the yamen that evening.Duan Sinan asked her for a fake Xue Ningbi to inquire, but who would have thought that the woman committed suicide by taking poison just after entering the yamen.There was a lot of fog, and Yayoi, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, was a little at a loss.But from her point of view, the villains will eventually obey the law, and that's all.

"Yayoi, why don't you go to the temple fair today?" There was light footsteps outside the house, and people heard them before turning to the door.

You don't need to look to know that this must be Zhou Yanyan, the second young lady of the Zhou family.

Since the haunting case was settled, Zhou Yanyan liked to run to the Yamen whenever she had something to do, and she and Mi became close friends.Zhou Yanyan is delicate and straightforward, and Yayoi is willing to get along with her temperament.

Seeing people standing at the door, Yayoi didn't see them clearly against the light, she smiled slightly, and said, "You know I usually don't like to join in the fun - but you, you just like to join in the fun, why don't you go?"

Zhou Yanyan walked into the room angrily, and sat opposite Yayoi.She is wearing a lotus root-colored skirt today, with a blue silk sash tied around her waist. It is beautiful and green, with weak willows and wind. Although it is a bleak autumn day, it is as delicate and moving as a lotus flower at the end of spring.Her eyes are bright and clear, like a mountain spring gurgling on Fuliang Mountain.

The beauty's eyes were stained with resentment: "Father said that Fuliang Mountain has been infested by wolves recently, so I am not allowed to go there."

Yayoi nodded, she had also heard about this matter.I heard that the poultry of several hunters in the mountains were killed by wolves. The hunters went to the mountains several times but failed to catch the wild wolf, which made people panic.

She comforted: "Master Zhou is also doing it for your own good."

"For my own good?!" Zhou Yanyan rolled her eyes, "He still helped me arrange a marriage with the He family. Before I get married, of course he doesn't want me to have any accidents!"

"The young master of the He family is not bad after all." Yayoi said helplessly, "Maybe he is your beloved."

Zhou Yanyan raised her chin and was about to refute, but Ah Qi hurried in from outside the house: "Miss! Miss!"

Yayoi didn't have time to ask, but Zhou Yanyan said quickly: "What are you in a hurry for? If you have time, learn more from your young lady. Be more calm!"

Yayoi smiled but said nothing.

Only then did Aqi realize that she had lost her composure, she quickly stroked her chest, and said, "Miss, the emperor has sent an imperial decree to our residence!"

"Our house?" Yayoi was taken aback.

"It's the Sanjiang Commander's Office!" Ah Qi excitedly said, "The emperor ordered you to marry freely because of your talent, and you must serve the court within five years!"

Marriage is voluntary!Five years of effectiveness!
Yayoi was stunned.

When Shi Sinan told her not to worry about her father, she thought that Zuo was just because he might have made friends with Pingwanghou's mansion in the capital, so she asked the Hou's mansion to withdraw the marriage.Although the divorce ruined the woman's reputation, she didn't care.

But the world turned around, she never expected it to end like this!

— Marriage is voluntary.

Not to mention the whole world, in the vast land, how many women can get such a promise?How could she have obtained such an answer?
She was actually cowardly.

The sign that I begged for when I was a child, turned out to be the case?She only had to be cruel and self-willed once to get such a fate?

Aqi saw her stunned in a rare way, thinking that she was overwhelmed by the surprise, and said with a smile: "Miss has such a golden eloquence now, I am afraid Master Shen will not be able to embarrass Miss anymore! Miss is going to participate in the official promotion at the end of that year." Selection?"

Yayoi came back to her senses, nodded and responded lightly.

Zhou Yanyan was envious and delighted at the side: "Yayoi, this imperial decree you have received, not to mention the new emperor's ascension to the throne, I think it is the first time since the founding of the country! Marriage is voluntary, your life is very good !"

Yayoi shook her head lightly, "Since ancient times, the word love is the most difficult to understand, everything is uncertain."

"That's not necessarily true!" Zhou Yanyan said loudly, "I think Master Duan is very good!"

She was so shameless that even Yayoi was too embarrassed to tease her.She is not someone who can pretend to be stupid, so she kicked Zhou Yanyan out with a few perfunctory words.

Zhou Yanyan happily ran out of the small garden of the yamen, turned her head and shouted loudly: "Yayoi, I'm going to the Fuliangshan Temple Fair! If my father comes to ask you, you can help me deal with it!"

"You—" Before Yayoi could say anything, Zhou Yanyan disappeared.Considering that there are so many people coming to Fuliang Mountain for the temple fair today, the wild wolves probably won't come out for activities, but it doesn't matter.

She smiled helplessly, remained silent for a while, and walked out the door.

"Miss, where are you going?" Aqi asked anxiously from behind.

"Go thank you." Yayoi said.

A row of autumn osmanthus is planted at the entrance of the official residence. At this time, the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing.In the shadow of the tree lay a red dress, he slept soundly and took a nap in the smoky intoxicating fragrance, his eyebrows were exquisite, suave and romantic, it was Duan Sinan.

Duan Sinan was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and opened his eyes leisurely.He saw that Yayoi's usually cold Furong's face was a little loose, guessed that she knew about the imperial decree, and said with a light smile, "What? Are you so excited?"

He helped her accomplish this at the time, which was actually a small trick to Emperor Yuan Wu.In fact, he wasn't sure whether she was involved in the deposed prince, so he made some nonsense.Emperor Yuanwu had always favored him, so naturally he could do whatever he said, and he was a talented and useful minister, so he made a will to do whatever he wanted.Since ancient times, emperors have not been able to do such things as breaking people's marriages, but with Emperor Yuanwu, everything is negotiable.

Yayoi looked at him seriously, and said: "At the end of the year, I will try my best to get the position of Tuiguan in Yingzhou. After I find out the case of Zhang's family being exterminated, if you still think highly of me, I will go to the capital."

This is her promise.

Duan Sinan stared into her eyes.He was far away and could not see clearly.The shadows of the trees were reflected in her black pupils, with a different kind of serious expression shining.People who used to be cold and cold, now exude a faint warmth and radiance.There was a wind blowing, and the rain of sweet-scented osmanthus scattered all over the place, blurring his vision.

He slowly raised his head, with a smile on his lips, nodded and said, "Okay. It's a deal."

"It's a word."

"Now, how about playing chess with me?"

Yayoi smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay."
