After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Chapter 2 Encountering Green Tea at Qiongzhenlou

In the suburbs, a black carriage drove through the hazy drizzle, leaving two ruts on the official road.

This carriage was not worth mentioning in Shanngling, where the land was so valuable, and it was even a little shabby. However, there was a young man with an extraordinary appearance sitting in the carriage.

His complexion is extremely white, with thin, pale lips under the high bridge of his nose. There is a bit of illness lingering between his brows, but it does not detract from his handsomeness. On the contrary, it adds a bit of brokenness and nobility. The kind of precious young master who needs careful care.

"Young master, Zhuangzi has taken care of everything."

Lin Jingrong looked at the book in his hand without raising his eyelids, his thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was like cold jade,
"Did he believe it?"

"I believe it." The man said, "His people have withdrawn from Chu."

"Young Master, this is a token of identity." The man held a piece of jade in both hands and said, "For safety's sake, I will keep it with me after entering the Tomb."

"Yes." Lin Jingrong responded softly, took the jade pendant from the man's hand and tied it around his waist.

The carriage continued to move leisurely in the direction of Shangling, gradually disappearing into the official road.

After Xie Chunchao fainted in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, the people in the Hou Mansion were inevitably held accountable by the King of Liao. As for the woman Ning Heng brought back from the border, Mrs. Hou also adopted her as an adopted daughter, and announced that she wanted to choose a good son-in-law for her. Marrying as the daughter of the Hou family completely ended the possibility of her and Ning Heng openly.

During this period, Ning Heng and people from the Hou Mansion asked to see Xie Chunchao many times, but they were all rejected by Xie Chunchao.

Now, she was so distraught that she didn't know how to face Ning Heng or the people of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

When she woke up from her dream, she was in a state of chaos, and she just wanted to never have anything to do with Ning Heng again. But now that she had calmed down, she remembered how good Ning Heng had been.

Moreover, although she had never met Ning Heng, she already knew about Ning Heng and Bai Zhi from the maids and concubines around her.

She did not faint in the dream, and Bai Zhi was not adopted by Madam Hou as her adopted daughter.

Perhaps, it was just a nightmare of hers and should not be taken seriously.

But whenever she wanted to soften her heart, the image of her body wrapped in a straw mat in her dream and Ning Heng's cold demeanor would constantly appear in front of her eyes.

"Princess, the eldest princess invites you to the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Xie Chunchao looked at the invitation handed over by Yu Ning, and his eyes fell on the date on the invitation - the second day of September.

Her heart began to beat violently, as if someone was holding her throat tightly, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

The date of the Hundred Flowers Banquet was exactly the same as in the dream!
The hand in her sleeve was shaking uncontrollably. Is it a coincidence?
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Yu Ning saw that Xie Chunchao's face was extremely ugly, as white as paper, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Xie Chunchao shook his head, "It's okay."

She took the invitation and lightly traced the words written in gold powder on the invitation with her fingertips. Should she go?
In the dream, after the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she gained a reputation as jealous and vicious. She was the princess, but through Ning Heng's words, she became a vicious woman who could not get married.

If I didn't go, could everything have been avoided?

Yu Ning knew that the princess had been uneasy recently, and said distressedly, "If the princess doesn't want to go, just let the eldest princess know. The eldest princess has always loved you, and she will definitely not blame you for these little things."

Yu Ning's words reminded her that she was not the poor little person who had no one to rely on later.

Now that her parents are afraid, she has a brother and an aunt to support her, what is she afraid of?
If everything in the dream really comes true, will she have to hide for the rest of her life?

"I'm going." Xie Chunchao said firmly, "I'm not only going, I'm going in a glorious way." She just took this banquet to verify whether the things in her dream were true or false.

If it is true, her eyes are as stern as a cold pool, and she will definitely protect her father and brother from danger, and protect the Liao Prince's palace from danger.

There were still a few days before the Hundred Flowers Banquet started, and Xie Chunchao wanted to go to Qiongzhen Tower to see if there were any beautiful beaded hairpins and rings.

In fact, jewelry stores, ready-made clothing stores, and cosmetics stores in Shanling usually bring new items to the house for them to check out when they have new styles. There is no need for Xie Chunchao to go out and buy them himself.

The reason why she went out was that she had been flustered by dreams recently and wanted to go out for a walk to relax.

The carriage of Prince Liao's Mansion stopped steadily at the entrance of Qiongzhen Tower. Before she got out of the car, people from Qiongzhen Tower came to greet her.

Qiongzhenlou is the largest jewelry store in Shanling and even the entire Chu State. Their products are not only distinguished by their expensive materials, but also by their fresh and exquisite styles.

Every time Qiongzhenlou releases a new style, it will be widely sought after by girls and become the current trend.

Of course, there will also be a small number of limited styles available to dignitaries every season.

Ladies and ladies often attend various banquets, and if they bump into each other, it will only add to the embarrassment.

Qiongzhen Building has two floors. The lower floor is for ordinary wealthy people. If you want to get into the upper floor, you must not only have money, but also have a certain degree of power.

Xie Chunchao was led to the second floor by the girls from Qiongzhen Tower.

There is a dazzling array of beautiful and luxurious jewelry here, each one is unique, and of course, the price will not be cheap.

Xie Chunchao took a fancy to a golden hairpin inlaid with peony flowers. In the center of the peony flower was a dazzling gem. She just raised her hand to pick up the hairpin and take a closer look when a delicate female voice sounded beside her, "Sister, I I really like this peony hairpin, can you give it to me?"

Xie Chunchao looked sideways, but she didn't expect that he was one of the people she least wanted to see right now.

Is Shanling City so small?She should read the almanac when she goes out today.

When Bai Zhi saw her face, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know if it was true or just pretending.

Xie Chunchao was very suspicious that Bai Zhi thought it was her and Fang came over to say such things.

The smile on Bai Zhi's face became even brighter, "It turns out to be Sister Chun Chao. Last time you fainted at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, I didn't even have time to say a few words to you."

Xie Chunchao ignored her and turned around to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi came up to her, blocking her way and said, "Sister Chunchao, please give me that hairpin?"

She brushed the broken hair around her forehead and spoke pitifully, but her eyes were full of proud showing off, "Mrs. Ning is kind and keeps me close to her, but I have never been able to repay her. I feel This gorgeous and dazzling hairpin matches Madam Ning’s temperament very well. I would like to give it to Madam Ning as a thank you gift. Sister Chun Chao, Madam Ning also treats you as one of her own, so you must also want her to be happy."

Bai Zhi's words were really wonderful. She also said that Mrs. Ning was very good to her, and also used the excuse that Mrs. Ning was suitable for this hairpin to mock Xie Chunchao's age.

Xie Chunchao gently raised his hand and inserted the hairpin directly into his temples. He arched his eyebrows and smiled, his bright eyes shining.

"No."

What a joke, why should she give up what Xie Chunchao likes?
Bai Zhi wanted to step forward but was stopped by the maids brought out by Xie Chunchao. She could only watch Xie Chunchao leave.
