Chapter 70 Who decides the marriage?
  Jing Muling had no objection to Shen Zhuoxi's decision, and suggested: "Both of us are going to the palace, why not ride in the king's carriage together?"
  Shen Zhuoxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I have to do something else after I leave the palace. If I don't go along, in order not to trouble His Highness King Yu, we'd better ride separately."
  "Whatever you want." Jing Muling's face darkened, she took Zhengqing's wrist and went out first.
  After getting on the carriage, Hui Zhi said tentatively: "Miss, look at me, the prince is a little angry when he sees that you don't want to ride in the carriage?"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't think much about it. She shook her head and said, "You are overthinking. The prince asked me just to be polite. I can't just follow the pole."
  "Besides, the prince is a man. Although he always claims that he and my mother are under the Queen Mother's knees and that he is my imperial uncle, after all, there are differences between men and women. It is completely outrageous for us to ride in a carriage!"
  There was another reason that Shen Zhuoxi didn't say - she always felt that His Highness King Yu was a bit strange, but she couldn't pinpoint the specific reason.
  Hui Zhi said: "That's right, you are still thoughtful."
  But what I was thinking in my mind was: This prince is not going the right way!
  On the other side, on King Yu's carriage, the air pressure was as low as the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter.
  Zhengqing couldn't help but shiver, glanced at Jing Muling quietly, and suggested: "Sir, why don't you get out of the car, tell the second lady that you are unwell, and ask her to come to the carriage?"
  "You are the only one who is smart." Jing Muling rolled her eyes at him, and the gloom in her eyes shifted a little with her movements. Jing Muling simply closed her eyes and said, "I am not willing to come even if I personally invite her, so what's the use of pretending to be sick? "
  "This..." Zhengqing hesitated: "If you just said one more thing, the second lady will definitely come."
  Jing Muling opened her eyes and frowned: "Are all women so awkward?"
  "The villain has never dealt with women, so I don't know." Zhengqing wiped away the cold sweat and said, "Should I go, villain?"
  "That's it. After a few more steps, we're almost there, and it won't be too long." Jing Muling closed her eyes again.
  After getting off the carriage, Jing Muling walked in front. Shen Zhuoxi followed the rules and dropped half a step behind him.
  Jing Muling noticed this and deliberately slowed down, and Shen Zhuoxi also slowed down. If he was fast, Shen Zhuoxi would also be fast.
  "Tsk." Jing Muling finally stopped and asked impatiently: "I am a savage beast. How can you be so scared?"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't understand what he meant at first. It wasn't until he stepped back a little and stood with her that she realized that he was saying that their steps were half a step wrong.
  She sneered and said: "His Royal Highness King Yu is very kind and loving. I am not afraid. It's just the rules. His Highness King Yu is so noble that I can't walk side by side with you."
  "Are you a person who obeys the rules?" Jing Muling sneered coldly: "When I was fighting against your mistress in the Grand Master's Mansion, you didn't care about any rules."
  If Shen Zhuoxi wanted to say anything else, Jing Muling frowned and said, "I have been on the battlefield for many years and I am not used to having people behind me. Just keep pace with me."
  Shen Zhuoxi glanced at Zhengqing in surprise - wasn't he following behind?
  Before she could speak, Jing Muling had already moved forward, so she had no choice but to follow.
  In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was leaning on the soft floor, supporting her head with one hand, and the old lady of Taishi Mansion stood below her.
  The old lady came very early, but the Queen Mother was feeling a little unwell in the morning, so the old lady could only wait in the outer hall. After a long time, she summoned the queen mother.
  After saluting, the old lady scolded herself: "You know that the Queen Mother's phoenix body is against the law, so I should not disturb you. Please punish me, the Queen Mother."
  "It's an old problem. It's nothing important, and you don't know." The Queen Mother was a little depressed: "You haven't been in the palace for a long time, are you here because of Zhuo Xi?"
  "Reply to the Queen Mother." The old lady hurriedly said: "It is true that I came here for Zhuo Xi. After she got well, I didn't have time to enter the palace to express my gratitude. Thank you, the Queen Mother, for vindicating Zhuo Xi."
  "It's nothing. Zhuo Xi is Xiaoqing's child and can be regarded as the grandson of the Ai family." The Queen Mother sighed: "Those Si Tianjian people dare to accept money from people and make up stories about the reincarnation of a demon star."
  "It's a pity that several people related to this matter committed suicide out of fear of guilt and could not find the mastermind behind it!"
  "My queen, please calm down." The old lady also sighed: "It is also Zhuo Xi's fate. If Princess Xiaoqing is still here, she will not be poisoned."
  The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted coldly: "Speaking of Xiaoqing, starting from the Si Tianjian incident, the Ai family began to suspect that there was something fishy about Xiaoqing's death."
  "She grew up under the knee of the Ai family. The imperial doctor always treated her with Ping Pingmai. She rarely even got wind and cold. She married Shen Heshan for just a few years and gave birth to a child. Such a good person actually got seriously ill. !”
  The blame in the Queen Mother's words was obvious.
  The old lady quickly knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother, the Shen family treats Princess Xiaoqing very well and does not dare to neglect her. Whether it is before pregnancy, after pregnancy or after confinement, the Shen family provides the best supplements."
  "A woman will be much weaker after giving birth to a child. Princess Xiaoqing is worried about the child, so the disease takes advantage of her."
  "Humph." The Queen Mother became more and more angry: "What's good? Is Xiaoqing really sick because of her child? She's still alive, but Shen Heshan openly welcomed the concubine of the Earl's Palace as his second wife, and later brought in a merchant girl."
  "That concubine gave birth to the eldest son of the eldest daughter of the Taishi Mansion before Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing must have been heartbroken and depressed, and she gradually became terminally ill!"
  "This, this..." The old lady had no way to defend herself, and murmured: "Princess Xiaoqing approved the entry of Mrs. Yu into the Earl's Mansion. Princess Xiaoqing, He Shan and Mr. Yu have known each other for several years, and they couldn't bear the thought of Ms. Yu being so far away. Marry Pingzhou."
  "Who knows what Princess Xiaoqing will do later... Fortunately, Mrs. Yu was virtuous and stabilized the situation when He Shan and his wife were sad and frightened. Otherwise, the Taishi Mansion would not know what kind of chaos it would be."
  "That's enough." The Queen Mother obviously didn't want to mention it. She interrupted the old lady and her tone became colder: "You are here just to thank Zhuo Xi?"
  "Yes." The old lady hesitated for a moment, then remembered that Yu Qinglian was looking for a matchmaker, and then said: "Besides, there are indeed other matters that I would like to ask the Queen Mother to decide."
  "What?" the Queen Mother said displeased.
  The old lady was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up. She lowered her head and said, "Zhuoxi will be a hairdresser in a few months. According to your wishes, should the Taishi Mansion decide on the marriage, or should you decide on the candidate?"
  "Zhuoxi's surname is Shen." The Queen Mother's voice was full of loneliness: "It is better to leave it to the Grand Master's Mansion to make the decision. Don't let her lose."
  Nanny Guirong, who was beside the Queen Mother, obviously wanted to say something. She glanced at the old lady and swallowed her words.
  As soon as the old lady left after thanking her, someone outside Cining Palace announced: "His Royal Highness King Yu and Miss Shen Er are here to pay their respects."
  "Why is that child Mu Ling with Zhuo Xi?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking suspiciously, she still said: "Please come in quickly."
  Jing Muling and Shen Zhuoxi paid their respects to the Queen Mother respectively. Jing Muling's voice was filled with concern: "I heard that you have an old illness. Is it serious?"
  "You still have filial piety." The Queen Mother was quite pleased and said: "It's an old problem, it's not a big deal. It's hard for you to make this trip because you are not in good health."
  "My son, it's nothing." Jing Muling lowered her head and said respectfully, "You should be more careful on weekdays and worry less about the outside world."
  "Don't worry?" The Queen Mother said half-truthfully: "How can the Ai family not worry? It's not because of you. Life-long events are always uncertain. Do you want to stay married for the rest of your life?"
  "Then Wei Zhiting, the eldest daughter of Zuo Xiangfu, is very good. She lives up to her name, and is very scholarly. Your imperial brother has already said that she is good after reading it. What are you dissatisfied with?"
  Shen Zhuoxi stood beside her, her toes touching the ground in embarrassment as she openly urged her to get married, wanting to cover her ears.
