marry a princess

Chapter 9 He's My Husband

Bai Ziwan looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise. Although she didn't say much in Ningshou Palace just now, a jade bracelet given by the late emperor was enough to make others understand her protection. Why is she helping the Empress now? ?She subconsciously looked at Yuan Hongyi, who stood there without changing his expression, even with a faint smile on his face.

She frowned unconsciously, feeling some inexplicable emotions growing in her heart.Although it was only for a moment, she had vaguely seen some things, this is the helplessness of being born in the emperor's family, it is hard to imagine how he has come through step by step in these years.

"Your Majesty, ink research is finished." Yu Liansheng put down the ink stick, stepped back and stood bowed, sighed and shook his head.

The emperor took a look at Yuan Hongyi, and then went to the desk after a pause.Holding the pen in his hand, he frowned and stared at the imperial decree in front of him for a long time. Since he took the throne, he has written many imperial decrees every day, but he has never been so difficult to write like now.

After a long time, the emperor raised his head and glanced at Yuan Hongyi again, his gaze swept over the empress's face indifferently, he wrote the imperial decree, closed it, handed it to Yu Liansheng with his backhand, and turned his back to look at the plaque above.He is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, with the power of life and death in his hands, but in the end he couldn't keep his most beloved son.

Yu Liansheng came forward with the imperial decree, and wanted Yuan Hongyi to kneel down to receive the decree, but thinking of Yuan Hongyi's temperament, he had no choice but to give up.Unfolding the imperial decree, he read, "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Yuan Hongyi, the king of Ningqing, was extravagant and lustful, disrespectful of filial piety, the superiors could not accept the emperor's favor, and the inferiors could not treat the people of Li. The title of prince was taken away, and he was sent to the northeast tomorrow. Unless you are summoned, you are not allowed to enter Beijing, hereby!"

Holding the imperial decree in both hands, Yu Liansheng walked up to Yuan Hongyi, and said respectfully, "Prince Ningqing, please accept the decree."

Yuan Hongyi took the imperial decree, glanced at the emperor lightly, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Yu just finished reading the imperial decree, why did he forget it so quickly? I am no longer the King Ningqing you mentioned."

Seeing a flash of injury in his eyes very quickly, and then a nonchalant expression, Bai Ziwan suddenly felt that the real him was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.In a lifetime, how many people can see people with their true face, let alone a child in the royal family?
Turning around, seeing the mockery in Yuan Hongyi's eyes, the emperor frowned, and looked at Bai Ziwan, "You just married the fifth prince yesterday..." Others only saw his majestic and wise side, and how many people saw him? helpless?

Before the emperor could finish speaking, Bai Ziwan looked at Yuan Hongyi and said word by word, "Hongyi is Yingying's husband, and he will follow Yingying wherever he goes."

The queen, the princess, the Lin family, and others were all surprised. Lin'an City is located on the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom. It is located in a remote place, and life is difficult. Moreover, several small countries around the country often invade and fight for years. The people are in dire straits. , and she, a woman, actually took the initiative to follow, isn't she afraid that she will never return?
Yuan Hongyi was also surprised, he looked at Bai Ziwan suspiciously, as if he wanted to see through her completely.

Bai Ziwan didn't dodge or dodge, letting Yuan Hongyi stare at him.

The empress dowager nodded secretly, with some relief on her face, and her affection for Bai Ziwan increased a bit, but... thinking of Lin'an City, she frowned again, not knowing whether what she said just now was sincere, or just impulsive ?
"Is he your husband? The fifth sister-in-law seems to have misremembered. I heard that on the night of the wedding, the fifth brother didn't seem to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony with you."

Bai Ziwan was startled when she heard this, she knew that this matter could not be concealed at all, but she never expected that it would come so soon, and it was still under such circumstances.

"What you just said is true?" The queen stared at the tenth concubine, Qiao Shi, "Tenth concubine, how do you know that the fifth prince and the fifth concubine did not perform Zhougong's ceremony?"

Lin and the others were also shocked, and bowed their heads in silence.Zeng was even more annoyed in a cold sweat, wishing he could bite off his tongue.

"My son..." Seeing the empress dowager suddenly look at him sharply, Qiao hesitated for a while, then pointed at Zeng, "It's what the second sister-in-law said, and the fifth brother stayed in Tianxiang Tower all night until we got married. In the past few days, I have been going to Tianxiang Tower."

Bai Ziwan looked at Mrs. Zeng and smiled faintly.

Mrs. Zeng scolded Mrs. Zeng secretly, looked at Bai Ziwan apologetically, and stammered, "Daughter-in-law... daughter-in-law is just hearsay..."

"But I dote on you too much on weekdays. How dare you bring it to the palace to tell me about it?" The empress dowager scolded after her face darkened.

There was a chill on Zeng's back, and he knelt down with a plop, "Grandmother calm down, granddaughter-in-law knows her mistake, and she will never dare again." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed respectfully.

Others followed suit and knelt down.

"The fourth concubine is pregnant, so you haven't helped her up yet!" The empress dowager said, looking at Yunxiang, "Are you the maid of the fifth concubine?"

Rue Xiang nodded and answered yes.

The Empress Dowager said, "So, you tell the Ai family that the fifth prince went out on the night of their marriage? Don't cheat, otherwise the Ai family will definitely be punished!"

Yun Xiang shook her body, knelt down and kowtowed, and looked at the Empress Dowager without fear, "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the fifth prince will go back to the new house after the wedding banquet, and will not leave until the morning. Although the fifth prince has not been out these few days, But I go to see Miss every day."

Qiao said, "She is Fifth Sister-in-Law's maid, and she will speak to her master when she speaks. Her words are not trustworthy. Besides, it is rumored by everyone outside the palace that Fifth Brother left the bride alone in the new house on the day of his wedding, and went to Tianxiang Tower by himself. Singing and singing with brothel women every night."

"If what the tenth concubine said is true, then the Yuanpai of the fifth concubine..." The queen suddenly stopped talking, looking at the empress dowager from the corner of her eyes, she wanted to see how this old woman is still protecting her precious grandson .

There was no sound in the meeting hall, and everyone was silent, waiting for the empress dowager to speak.Bai Ziwan frowned, feeling uneasy and restless in his heart.Now, if they don't get the result they want, I'm afraid they won't let it go.

"Hongyi..."

"Queen Mother, this old servant has a way to find out the truth, but..." Mother Xi looked at Bai Ziwan unbearably, "I have to wrong the Fifth Prince Concubine."

The Empress Dowager naturally understood what Nanny Xi was referring to, but... she frowned at Bai Ziwan, and now she had no other choice but this method. "Fifth Prince Concubine, you go with Xi Momo, Xi Momo will give you justice." After finishing speaking, she gave Qiao Shi and the Queen a sharp look.

××××××
It was almost noon when we returned to the mansion, after what happened just now, Bai Ziwan felt extremely tired, so he glanced at the person at the table indifferently, and went to the bed.

When she woke up, it was already twilight outside the window, Bai Ziwan rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat down and let out a loud sigh, and was about to call for Rue Xiang, when she saw the person who was still sitting in the room reading a book, she blinked Blink, he won't leave, right?

"Why is grandpa still here?"

Yuan Hongyi put down the book in his hand, saw Bai Ziwan approaching, and said with a smile, "From your tone, it seems that you don't want to see Master?"

Bai Ziwan gave him a blank stare without hesitation. Could it be that he wouldn't appear in front of him if she didn't want to? "The concubine is just thinking, we are leaving for Linjiang City early in the morning, should I tell my sisters and the others?"

Yuan Hongyi stood up, looked at Bai Ziwan thoughtfully for a while, and said softly, "It's too late for you to regret it now." After finishing speaking, he went outside the room.

"Miss, are you really going to Linjiang City?" Yunxiang came in from the outside, seeing that Yuan Hongyi was not in the room, she asked.

"Do you think I have other choices?" Bai Ziwan raised his hand, turned around, walked to the chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it by himself.She didn't know why she said that, but she felt that he was lonely at that moment, and she didn't want him to face everything alone.

Yun Xiang pursed her lips, sat down on the chair next to her, raised her hand to grab the tea bowl from Bai Ziwan's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.Teased, "Miss is really unlucky, she was demoted after only being a princess for a day."

Bai Ziwan snorted and looked at Yun Xiang, "Little Nizi is becoming more and more courageous now, not only dares to grab your lady's tea, but also dares to make fun of your lady." What about the princess, what about the poor, after all It's just a title.

Rue Xiang pursed her lips, poured another cup of tea and drank it, "You said it yourself, there is no distinction between high and low, even slaves are born of parents, and you don't say much about those who rob you for food. The servant just drank your tea, but you are doing well, and you actually put on airs like a young lady." After saying that, he poured a full cup of tea and put it in Bai Ziwan's hands in a fit of anger.

Not bad, to block her with what she told her.Bai Ziwan shook his head with both a smile and a smile, "Go and grind it for me, I'll write a letter, and you can find someone to send it to the nanny later." Well, the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes.
