Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 14
The emperor and Chu Wuhen did what they said, and soon rumors spread in the palace.

Maid A was watering the flowers, she suddenly turned her head to look at the people around her and asked mysteriously, "Hey, have you heard?"

Maid B picked up the fallen leaves on the ground and asked in confusion, "What?"

"It's about Princess Jianing!" Maid A looked around, seeing no one in front of her, she beamed and said, "I heard that Princess Jianing was hit by an evil spirit, and she couldn't wake up because of being haunted by evil spirits. The master came to do it, and the master said that he wanted to find a man with the same zodiac sign to congratulate the princess!"

"Really?" Maid B was startled, "Congratulations? Which young master will go to congratulate people properly? Has this... been selected?"

Maid A waved her hand: "Hey, who is Princess Jianing? That is the jade leaf and golden branch, the jewel in His Majesty's hands. Since the imperial doctor can't help it, he must find another way. If Princess Jianing really wakes up, it will be a great achievement! Your Majesty will definitely not treat that family badly."

She clicked her tongue and sighed: "It's right in front of you to become an official and rank! If I were a man, I would volunteer to go."

Maid B thought for a moment, "That's right, this is a good opportunity to fly to the top of the branch, but the horoscope must match, if you don't wake up, won't His Majesty blame you?"

Maid A casually poured some water on the petals, "Then depends on fate, a great opportunity is right in front of you, it depends on whose fate is good."

"Forget it, what does it have to do with us? It's fun to watch." Maid B persuaded in a low voice and continued to work.

At the corner, a white corner of the clothes flashed past.

……

"Master, Shen Hanyu has already heard the two eyeliners talking about this matter in the garden today." Xin Xing hurried into the side hall to return to Chu Wuhen.

Chu Wuhen put down the pen, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Okay, keep an eye on Boyanghou."

"Yes." Xin Xing responded, turned around and wanted to leave, but Chu Wuhen suddenly called out: "Wait a minute, give this thing to Master Wu Nian, and tell him, if there is no suitable horoscope for a long time, just hand this over."

Xie Shuangge: "?"

What do you mean, you can still cheat?

She looked through the jade pendant, and saw a thin piece of red paper between Chu Wuhen's fair fingers.

She suddenly felt bad. Could it be his birth date?

Xin Xing also had this doubt. He took it with both hands, but didn't open it. He just asked, "Master, this is..."

"The horoscope that matches Princess Jianing." Chu Wuhen said without changing his face.

Xin Xing was puzzled: "Really? Who is it?"

Chu Wuhen smiled and said slowly: "Me."

Xin Xing: "?"

He stared wide-eyed at the red paper in his hand and then at Chu Wuhen, "Master, are you serious? If the horoscope is right, you are going to celebrate!"

Chu Wuhen's eyes were light, "Do you think I am joking with you?"

Xin Xing: "...not like that."

"No, master, this matter is no small matter. Princess Jianing has a special status, and Her Majesty and Queen Mother attach great importance to it. If the horoscope is really chosen, you will be a son-in-law in the future. If Princess Jianing does not wake up, you can't guard against it." Your Majesty will not allow you to take a concubine if the living dead live their whole life, so what about the incense in your family?" +
Xin Xing tried his best to persuade Chu Wuhen, hoping that he would take back this hot paper.

Although Xie Shuangge's words sounded a bit harsh to her ears, she could also understand Xin Xing. If she couldn't wake up, wouldn't it be delaying him for the rest of his life?

Although she didn't have much affection for Chu Wuhen, and was even a little hostile before, she never thought of letting Chu Wuhen die.

She also hoped that Chu Wuhen's idea was just a whim, and she would take this idea back after she calmed down.

But Chu Wuhen leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't realize how difficult this was.

"I proposed this plan on my own initiative. If it doesn't work out, I should bear the consequences. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. As for the incense of the Chu family..."

He chuckled and lowered his eyes: "It's already broken."

Xin Xing: "???"

Xie Shuangge: "???"

Wait, what you said is not right, what do you mean, you don't know what to do, do you?

She subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look at Chu Wuhen, but limited by the jade pendant, she couldn't do this difficult movement, but Xin Xing watched it for her.

Chu Wuhen met Shang Xinxing's eyes, paused, and then raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

Xin Xing suddenly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelids, and shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's nothing, the subordinate understands."

Chu Wuhen waved his hand: "Go."

"Yes!" Xin Xing ran out in a hurry, ran a long distance and turned his head to look in the direction of the side hall, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Ouch—hiss, what are you doing? The dog chased you?"

Xin Zhi happened to be coming down the steps, and was bumped into by Xin Xing, almost falling on his back.

"There's no dog, it's just..." Xin Xing hesitated to say anything, it's better not to tell about the hidden illness of the master, otherwise there might be some troubles, as a subordinate, he must protect the face of the master!
He was rotten in his heart and lungs about this, so rotten that he would never let a third person know about it until he died!
Xin Zhi rubbed his arms, frowned and asked, "What is it?"

After making up his mind, Xin Xing restrained his emotions and said, "It's nothing, the master told me to keep an eye on Shen Hanyu, I'm anxious."

"Oh, then you go."

Xin Zhi didn't think much of it, and stepped aside to let him go.

……

In Boyanghou Mansion, a middle-aged beautiful woman is holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and putting them in a porcelain vase in the front hall, "Shuixiu, what do you think of these flowers?"

"Madam's flower arranging skills have always been excellent, Master Hou is full of praise every time I see it." Shuixiu smiled and handed over the handkerchief.

Mrs. Liu Shi of Boyanghou took it and wiped her hands slowly, with beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "You have a sweet mouth."

"Ma'am, sit down and drink tea for a rest, Lord Hou will be back soon."

Shui Xiang came over with tea and put it by her hand.

Mrs. Boyanghou sat down and asked casually, "Where's Yu'er?"

Shuixiu squeezed her shoulders, "The prince went out in the morning, and he will be back soon."

"Mother."

Just as he was speaking, Shen Hanyu came striding from outside with a gloomy expression.

The smile that had just hung on Mrs. Boyang Hou's face faded, she frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Shen Hanyu didn't speak immediately, but glanced at the two maids.

Shuixiu immediately said with a wink, "Your maidservant will leave."

As soon as the people left, Shen Hanyu sat down under Mrs. Boyanghou, "Didn't mother hear about the palace?"

"It's about you?"

Liu squeezed the veil tightly in worry, and asked cautiously, "Could it be Princess Jianing's business?"

Shen Hanyu nodded, breathing heavily, "There is news from the palace that His Majesty is looking for someone to congratulate Princess Jianing."

"What?! Congratulations?"

Liu's eyes widened and she stood up abruptly.

"You've heard that too?" Bo Yanghou just came in from the outside and sighed when he heard this sentence.

"Yu'er is in trouble this time."
