Chapter 42
Princess Ronghua didn't see Xu Jiqing again until the banquet was over, so she couldn't help but wonder if he had no face to face others?

Princess Ronghua sneered, feeling happier than Princess Gucheng.

After saying goodbye to the two sisters of the Fan family, she returned to the palace in a carriage.

It was time to light the lanterns. After returning to Huaqing Palace to take a bath and change clothes, Princess Ronghua told Hongju, "Go to Changle Palace and send Sun Wenjin for me. Remember, don't disturb His Highness the Crown Prince."

Although Hong Ju was puzzled, she took the order and left.

Not long after, Hongju went back and led Sun Wen into the hall.

"See Princess Eldest!" Sun Wenjin looked apprehensive, and saluted Princess Ronghua.

"Get up and answer!" Princess Ronghua looked at him indifferently.

"Yes!" After Sun Wenjin got up, he still bowed his head and didn't dare to look at Princess Ronghua's face.

"Where did the prince go these days? Who did he meet? What did he do? I hope you can tell me everything!" Princess Ronghua stared at Sun Wenjin and put a lot of pressure on him.

"Princess!" Sun Wenjin knelt down suddenly, his tone was sobbing, he didn't know whether he was frightened or really felt a great grievance.

Princess Ronghua waited quietly for his answer.

"His Highness always sneaks out of the palace these days to find Miss Yue Xiaomanyue in Wufu Lane in the west of the city." Sun Wenjin didn't dare to hide anything, and poured out everything he knew like beans in a bamboo tube.

The more Princess Ronghua heard it, the colder she felt. So when she didn't pay attention to the prince, the prince had such an adventure?It's just that I don't know who this Yue Xiaoman is?It can make the prince think so much that he can't even listen to the teacher's lecture.

"I know, I don't tell anyone about your coming today, you should step back!" Princess Ronghua warned, and waved Sun Wen in.

Princess Ronghua rubbed the center of her brows, she really felt powerless towards Yang Zhao, in her last life she only hated him for being too cruel and absurd, but in this life she was too innocent and had no defense against others.

She didn't need to guess that Yue Xiaoman was definitely not as innocent as the prince saw, and she had to ask Qin Lie to investigate.

Thinking of this, Princess Ronghua decided to go out of the palace tomorrow, and also drop by to see if Qin Lie and the others are doing what she told her well.

Princess Ronghua was already planning to go to sleep in this room, but the Huaining Hou's mansion in that room was full of gloomy clouds and mist.

Xu Jiqing knelt down in front of Marquis Huaining in a daze, his eyes were lifeless and his face was pale, like a body without a soul.

"You rebellious son, you really let my father down!" Huaining Hou's face was livid, he put all the hopes of the whole house on Xu Jiqing, but in the end he did such a shameless thing .

A nameless anger piled up in Marquis Huaining's chest, and he called out to the housekeeper who was waiting by the side, "Come here, I will take care of you!"

Before the housekeeper left, he saw Mrs. Huaining Hou hurriedly approaching.

"Stop!" Madam Huaininghou immediately stopped her.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Huaininghou approached, she took her husband's hand and asked in puzzlement.

"This traitor, if you do such a disgraceful thing, the old man will beat him to death!" Huaining Hou scolded angrily with a livid face.

"Master, calm down!" Mrs. Huaining Hou hurriedly comforted her: "The incident has already happened, even if you beat Qing'er to death, it won't help. Why don't you think about how to resolve this matter?"

Hearing Madam's words, Marquis Huaining felt a little more at ease, and after he calmed down, he thought about what to do next?
Madam Huaininghou saw her husband frowning and said nothing, so she had no choice but to suggest: "My lord, according to my concubine's humble opinion, no matter how bad the princess of Gucheng is, she is still a high-ranking princess. Why don't you bring Qing'er into the palace tomorrow morning to plead guilty?"

Huaining Hou looked at his wife coldly, as if he disagreed with what she said.

Mrs. Huaining Hou faced the scorching gazes of the father and son, and continued: "The apology is just a cover, the purpose is to marry Princess Gucheng for this matter."

"I don't agree!" Xu Jiqing roared when he suddenly woke up.

Thinking of Princess Gucheng's wolf-like slut, Xu Jiqing shuddered involuntarily. It was absolutely impossible for him to marry such a woman.

"It's up to you to decide!" Huaininghou was startled by his roar, turned around and glared angrily.

"Master, calm down!" Mrs. Huaininghou hurriedly patted her husband on the back, then persuaded her son softly: "Qing'er, this is the end of the matter, you can only keep your Tianjing by marrying Princess Gucheng." The reputation of the first son!"

She knew that what her son valued most was the reputation he had earned with his own talent, and sure enough, just one sentence made Xu Jiqing calm down.

"My lord, you will do this tomorrow..." Mrs. Huaininghou discussed with her husband in a soft voice, how to tell Emperor Zhengxi when she enters the palace tomorrow, so as to achieve her goal of marrying Princess Gucheng.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, a little maid secretly hid in the dark and eavesdropped. She didn't leave until there was no more word from inside.

The next day, when Princess Ronghua was leaving the palace, she bumped into Huaininghou and his son outside the palace gate who asked to enter the palace to meet Emperor Zhengxi.

At this time, Princess Ronghua, who was sitting leisurely in the carriage, took a deep look at Xu Jiqing, curled her lips mockingly, and then put down the curtain.

Emperor Zhengxi had already heard about the scandal of Princess Gucheng and Xu Jiqing, even if Marquis Huaining didn't come, Emperor Zhengxi would send him into the palace to preach.

"Declarate him into the palace!" Emperor Zhengxi ordered Gao Deyan.

"No!" Gao Deyan bowed and retreated with a promise.

Not long after, I saw Marquis Huaining leading Xu Jiqing walking in quickly, bowed his head and bowed, "My servant sees the emperor, may my emperor live long and live long!"

"Stay flat!" Emperor Zhengxi said with a calm expression.

The Marquis of Huaining said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He held down Xu Jiqing who was about to get up, cupped his hands and said: "Please forgive me the crime of being incompetent in teaching my son."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhengxi raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised.

The old Marquis of Huaining blushed, and he pleaded with great reluctance: "Although my second son and Princess Gucheng have done such disgraceful things, I beg the emperor to take care of their unmarried men and daughters. For the sake of betrothing Princess Gucheng to Wei Chen's second son."

With that said, Marquis Huaining knelt down again.

Emperor Zhengxi pondered for a while, and felt that this was a good way to remedy it. Although Princess Gucheng was much older than Xu Jiqing and had been married before, as long as they really liked them, these were not problems.

He wanted to think about it, but he couldn't be arbitrary, he still wanted to ask Princess Gucheng what she meant.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengxi said to Gao De: "Princess Xuangucheng has an audience."

"No!" Gao Deyan led the order to withdraw.

Just when the Marquis of Huaining and his son were anxious, Princess Gucheng came slowly.

"Greetings to the emperor!" Princess Gucheng smiled softly.

"Exemption." Emperor Zhengxi looked at Princess Gucheng, then at Xu Jiqing who was kneeling, feeling a pity in his heart for some reason.

"What is the reason for the imperial brother Xuan Qing's resignation to enter the palace?" Princess Gucheng asked softly, puzzled.

Seeing Princess Gucheng pretending to be stupid on purpose, Xu's father and son's expressions darkened.Especially Xu Jiqing, he looked up and saw that Princess Gucheng didn't even look at him, such a turn-on face made him feel as sick as if he had eaten a bedbug.

"The Marquis of Huaining proposes to marry the imperial sister on behalf of the second son Xu Jiqing, I, I want to know what the imperial sister means?" Seeing her calm expression, Emperor Zhengxi couldn't help hesitating, so he asked.

When Xu's father and son heard Emperor Zhengxi's question, they all pricked up their ears to hear what Princess Gucheng would say.
