The messenger left, and the people in Shaoqing's house were all happy and proud, while the masters were in different moods.

The old lady took Xin You's hand and smiled so much that she wrinkled her face: "When grandma passes the sign to the palace, I will take you into the palace to thank you."

When a married woman wants to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, of course she does not just meet the Queen Mother, but she must do so according to the rules.

Xin You nodded and responded perfunctorily.

Duan Shaoqing felt confused when he saw her holding the imperial edict with a calm face.

What is this girl's plan? Do you really want to be a princess?

But isn’t her identity—when Duan Shaoqing thought deeply about it, he felt so stressed that he wanted to pull his hair.

This can't work. If that's what he thinks, wouldn't this girl and King Xiu be...

"Qingqing, come here."

Duan Shaoqing took Xin You away and asked in a low voice: "Now that the marriage has been decreed, what are your plans?"

Xin You glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, don't you think the less you know, the better for you?"

"How did you—" Duan Shaoqing reacted with a shiver in his heart.

This girl is right, knowing nothing is the best!

Duan Shaoqing stopped asking, told the old lady to go to the study, and left.

When Xinyou took Xiaolian to Wanqingju, Duan Yunlang chased after him: "Cousin, you, do you really want to marry King Xiu?"

Xin You turned her head to look at the anxious-looking young man, but didn't answer.

"Cousin-" Duan Yunlang came closer and lowered his voice, "Then...are you willing?"

Duan Yunlang originally wanted to ask, what about Mr. He?

He vaguely felt that his cousin treated Lord He differently.

Xin You smiled: "Cousin, don't say stupid things. I have to go back to Wanqing Residence to tidy up. We can talk later."

Duan Yunlang stopped, nodded reluctantly, looked at Xin You walking away, then sighed, turned around and walked back.

"Big brother?"

Duan Yunchen stood there at some point. When Duan Yunlang came closer, he frowned and reminded: "The Queen Mother has granted me a marriage. Second brother, please don't talk too much, so as not to cause trouble to the Shaoqing Mansion."

"I know." Duan Yunlang said perfunctorily and strode past Duan Yunchen.

Duan Yunchen stayed where he was, his expression a little ugly.

The young man who worshiped him wholeheartedly was still in front of him. Since when did the second brother become so cold to him?

Duan Yunchen didn't understand and felt uncomfortable.

Xin You returned to Wanqing Residence to explain things, and quietly left Shaoqing's house through the back door.

After exiting the back door, there is an alley with high walls on both sides, and the cool wind blows through the alley.

Xin You walked out of the alley quickly with his head slightly lowered, and looked there with his peripheral vision.

Unlike her who changed into Xiaojiabiyu's attire to reduce her presence when walking on the street, He Qingxiao just stood there and walked over after she looked over.

"Where are you going, Miss Kou?" He Qingxiao stared at the girl who had returned to women's clothing.

Xin You was silent for a long time and said softly: "Master He should call me Miss Xin."

He Qingxiao's heart was shaken, and her expression was difficult to distinguish: "Decided?"

Without the identity of "Mr. Xin", Miss Xin will completely lose her freedom to travel far away in the future.

Xin You smiled: "You can't really be a show princess."

Mentioning King Xiu, He Qingxiao's face darkened.

Whether it was Xiu Wang who liked "Miss Kou" or forced Miss Xin to return to her daughter's body, based on these two points, it was difficult for him to have a good impression of her.

It was also at this time that He Qingxiao discovered that he was not a generous person.

"Master He shouldn't have come." Xin You walked past He Qingxiao.

A hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. Xinyou stopped and looked at him silently.

He Qingxiao let go of his hand: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Now that Miss Xin is gone, what will happen if she is punished for the crime of bullying the emperor?"

"If you can't run away, you can only gamble." Xin You smiled easily, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I've always had good luck in gambling."

He Qingxiao knew that her ease made those who cared about her feel at ease, so she smiled slightly: "Then I wish Miss Xin good luck."

He watched Xin You go away and returned to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, waiting for the summons from Emperor Xingyuan.

At this time, Emperor Xingyuan was meeting Princess Zhaoyang.

"Brother, the emperor has granted marriage to King Xiu and Miss Kou? Why is it so sudden?" Princess Zhaoyang came into the palace as soon as she heard the news.

Emperor Xingyuan noticed that his sister was not very happy, so he decisively dismissed the blame: "Ahem, it's what the queen meant."

"The Queen Mother actually acted as a matchmaker for Miss Kou..." Princess Zhaoyang murmured, full of surprise.

Could it be that she had a villainous heart and mistakenly blamed the Queen Mother on that day of greetings?

"Is the imperial sister so concerned about Miss Kou's marriage?" Emperor Xingyuan asked with a smile.

He knew that Princess Zhaoyang was indifferent to the princes. When her sister heard about the marriage, she would come to the palace. It was obviously not for King Xiu.

"My sister admires Miss Kou very much and originally wanted to marry Rui'er." Princess Zhaoyang did not hide it in front of her brother.

Emperor Xingyuan was greatly surprised: "Why haven't you heard from the emperor's sister before?"

The eldest princess Zhaoyang twitched her lips: "The queen mother said that she would be a matchmaker for Miss Kou. I planned to find an opportunity to mention it, but later I lost my mood when I found out that the emperor's sister-in-law was in trouble..."

Emperor Xingyuan smiled and comforted: "It's the same, it's the same."

Princess Zhaoyang hesitated.

How can this be the same? The men who get married first are different!

At this time, the palace people reported: "I am waiting for an imperial edict to see you."

Upon hearing that Xin You was coming, Emperor Xingyuan and Princess Zhaoyang looked at each other, but did not let Princess Zhaoyang avoid him and ordered his servants to bring him in.

Soon a young man in plain robes walked in, holding an imperial edict in his hand.

"We have met Your Majesty and Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

"No courtesy." Emperor Xingyuan called Xinyou to stand up with a smile on his face, and then he noticed the bright yellow, "This is -"

In my impression, he never issued an imperial edict to Mu'er.

Xin You held up the imperial edict: "This is your Majesty's imperial edict for the marriage of Miss Kou and His Royal Highness King Xiu."

Emperor Xingyuan was stunned: "Why is it in Xin Daizhao's hands?"

"Because Miss Kou can't receive it."

"Can't receive it?" Emperor Xingyuan became even more confused. He couldn't help but glance at Princess Zhaoyang. Seeing that Princess Zhaoyang had the same reaction, he was sure that he heard correctly.

"The imperial edict was handed over to Miss Kou by the messenger himself -" Emperor Xingyuan paused and then made a guess.

Could it be that Mu'er also likes Miss Kou?

Yes, Mu'er had dealt with Miss Kou many times as Mr. Songling. The two are of the same age and appearance, so it is normal for them to fall in love with each other.

Why didn't he think of it!

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but feel annoyed.

If I had known that Mu'er liked him, I shouldn't have given him the marriage casually, but now the imperial edict has been issued——

"Please help me get it."

Xin You handed the imperial edict to the chamberlain beside him, took out a soft towel from his sleeve, took out a small porcelain bottle, opened the cap and poured the juice in the bottle onto the soft towel.

Emperor Xingyuan and Princess Zhaoyang watched intently as she wiped her cheeks little by little with a soft towel, from forehead to chin.

That familiar face became unfamiliar little by little, and then became familiar again.

In Emperor Xingyuan's shock, Xinyou raised his hand and pulled out the hairpin, letting his hair fall down.
