Chapter 216

The next day, the queen got a few auspicious dates in May selected by the Ministry of Rites, which were eighteenth, 21st, 27th and [-]th.

Today happens to be fifteen, and the nearest one is eighteen. There are only two days in between. It is true that the time is too tight, so the final date is 21.

According to Emperor Jianning's intention, the two brothers don't have to do it separately, but put it on the same day.

Soon, the news spread outside the palace. In order to celebrate before the war, the marriage between King Jin and the Seventh Prince was changed to May 21, and everything was kept simple.

Everyone thought that the marriage of the two princes would be postponed until the end of the war, but they didn't expect it to be settled before the expedition.

The Seventh Prince had expected it a long time ago, so after the news came, he was still indifferent, but King Jin was a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, it's not the first time for him to get married, Li Lingxi's marriage is a continuation, it doesn't matter if the wedding is grand or not.

After all, the seventh prince is getting married for the first time, isn't he as simple as him.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't delay his expedition.

But the two girls who were to be married were not so relieved.

Although Xu Sini didn't like the Seventh Prince and was unwilling to accept this marriage, but in the end it was her first marriage, and it was a high marriage, even if it was bitter inside, it should be beautiful outside.

But now Emperor Jianning said that everything is kept simple, and how many things have been omitted, she is not happy about the face here.

And Li Lingxi was even more so.

Even though she was willing to marry King Jin, she was worried that she was not the original match, and now that the marriage was simplified, she felt more and more depressed and wronged.

She is also a temper tantrum, and when she got the news, she made a big fuss at home. The whole family tried to persuade her, and added some dowry, so she was able to coax her away.

However, the issue of marriage is more important than not having a war right now.

In the court hall today, Emperor Jianning set the date for the army to go out to the west, May [-]th.

It was also calculated by the Ministry of Rites, and this day is an auspicious day.

In this way, just after Su Junning's birthday, the army will leave Beijing.

When Shen Qianwei came back from the yamen, she got a post from the concierge sent by someone from Su Junning.

Opened it and took a look, the eyes softened.

Of course he remembered Su Junning's birthday, and the gift had been prepared long ago. He thought he would have no chance to wait until her birthday to hand it out, but unexpectedly, it happened to be in time.

Putting the post in his arms, he strode back to his yard.

The birthday gift he was going to give still had the last bit of work done, so he had to be busy these two days.

It's just that not long after Shen Qianwei returned to the house, another servant came to the yard to spread the word.

"My lord, the young lady of Duke Rui's Mansion sent someone to deliver a box of things, claiming they are for you."

"The Xu family?" Shen Qianwei stopped the movements in his hands and frowned, "I asked if there was anything."

He hadn't had any contact with the Xu family for a long time, and he didn't know what the trouble was.

The boy shook his head, "The slave didn't ask, the man put down his things and left, so the slave had to send the things to you, Young Master."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and pointed to the rattan wooden cage behind him.

Shen Qianwei stood up and walked over to have a look.

After opening it, I found that there were some clothes, shoes and socks, as well as good medicines for sores, hemostatic pills and so on.

Picking up a piece of clothing at random and comparing it, it fits his figure, so you don't need to look at the rest, it must be something made for him.

He had just decided to go on an expedition, so these things couldn't be produced overnight, so Xu Sini must have prepared them for him long ago and kept them there.

Shen Qianwei looked at this box of things, wondering how much effort Xu Sini had spent, but even so, he did not soften his heart.

If you must ask what emotion you have, it is probably a sigh.

Sigh why Xu Sini is so stubborn, emotional things cannot be forced, nor is it just a single person's self-moving.

Even if Xu Sini offered him all her heart today, as long as it wasn't what he wanted, she would still refuse.

"Send it back, just say I don't want it, if the other party doesn't accept it, you can throw it away." Shen Qianwei whispered, and added at the end, "Also, send me a message so that Miss Xu can cherish herself and stop being stubborn gone."

The boy nodded in response, hugged the cage and retreated silently.

Ruiguo Mansion.

Fanghui came in from the outside with an ugly complexion, as if hesitating to speak.

Xu Sini was applying makeup to the mirror, seeing her appearance from the bronze mirror, her eyes also dimmed.

"What's the matter, just say something."

"The thing that Miss gave to Mr. Shen was returned."

Fanghui walked over carefully and said in a low voice.

Xu Sini's hand holding Meidai tightened suddenly, she gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, and then smiled wryly after a while.

"I knew he wouldn't accept it, but I didn't give up and always wanted to give it away."

"Miss, don't be sad." Fanghui persuaded softly, "Mr. Shen, the person who returns the gift brings a word to miss."

When she said this, Xu Sini's eyes lit up again, and she immediately turned to ask.

"Quickly, what are you talking about?"

Fanghui pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "Miss, please take good care of yourself and don't be obsessed with it anymore."

As soon as the words fell, all the anticipation on Xu Sini's face disappeared, and turned into deep sorrow and pain.

"I am obsessed, my love for him is actually obsessed in his eyes, isn't he also obsessed with Su Clan?!"

"Miss, be careful!" Fanghui was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, "Miss, you are getting married soon, and your friendship can only be with the Seventh Prince!"

Seeing Fanghui's nervous face, Xu Sini gritted her teeth to suppress the rage in her heart, without saying a word, turned around and swept all the things on the dressing table to the ground.

The makeup and jewelry crackled all over the floor, and the maid outside heard the movement and was about to come in, but Fanghui immediately stopped her.

"I'm fine here, you don't have to come in!"

I don't know how many of those people outside were arranged by Madam, and they are afraid that they will report to Miss after seeing her appearance, and Fanghui will be punished at that time.

Xu Sini lay on the dressing table, biting her sleeves and crying like rain, the hatred in her heart became more and more intertwined.

What she can't get, Su Junning can't even imagine.

Today, all her love has been wasted, and she has to bear the family's mission to marry someone she doesn't love. Why can Shen Qianwei and Su Junning be able to live together.

Full of hatred, accompanied by tears, soaked his clothes.

And at that time, Su Zhiyi, who was crying silently like her, was Li Su Zhiyi in Prince Jin's Mansion.

Although she knew that King Jin would marry the concubine sooner or later, when this day came suddenly, it was still hard for her to accept it.

In particular, she was still holding out hope that when the war broke out, the time for the princess to enter the mansion would be delayed until after the war ended, but she didn't expect that the process would be sped up now.

Once King Jin left, she didn't know when she would be able to return. When the princess entered the mansion, she would lose the right to take care of the general affairs of the mansion. In her heart, this was truly the same as a concubine's house.

It was also at this time that Su Zhiyi finally remembered her mother's family and who could support her.

Wiping away tears, he whispered instructions to the maid.

"Didn't the prince say that he would accompany me back to her mother's house to celebrate Simei's birthday? You add [-]% to the things I prepared for Simei earlier. In addition, prepare some gifts for everyone else."
