033: The wedding is imminent

Zhu Sha sat by the window with a lonely face. All afternoon, he didn't even change his posture. She didn't know what she was struggling with, but she just felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Princess," Linglong came in with the tray in her. "Would you like something to eat?"

"Forget it," the cinnabar shook his head aggrievedly, "I have no appetite."

Linglong sighed, "This won't work. The body and bones can't stand it. How about I peel a pomegranate for you first and eat some pomegranate after eating?

It's rare that Linglong compromised like coaxing a child, but the cinnabar didn't even want to see the meal and sucked his nose, "Linglong, leave me alone. I'll eat it when I'm hungry later."

"Is the princess on her mind? Isn't it because of Prince Duan?"

The cinnabar straightened its body as if it had been burned to its tail, "Nonsense! Where is it!"

Unfortunately, there is nothing she can do. Linglong is not blind, but since cinnabar doesn't want to say it, she doesn't ask anymore.

"Linglong, go and rest first. I'll call you if I have something to do."

"Yes, princess."

Linglong raised her legs and just walked to the door, and suddenly heard three soft sounds from the back window.

"Knock"...

The sound made cinnabar and Linglong nervous. Linglong quickly walked to the back window and pushed the window open. Qinghe quickly got in, holding two pomegranates in his hand!

Cinnabar looked at Qinghe doubtfully, "Qinghe, you didn't send pomegranates to me, did you? That pomegranate..."

The pomegranate seemed to have been gnawed by a dog. It was uneven and covered with soil. The cinnabar frowned and looked at Qinghe. I really didn't understand what she meant.

Qing He stuffed the pomegranate into Linglong. "I saw it in the backyard. I don't know who threw it here. If you are seen by outsiders, I'm afraid it will attract gossip. After all, this is a tribute to Wu Zhaoguo. It's not good to do anything at this jug jug.

Linglong eagerly took it over, and his eyebrows were twisted into a ball. "This... His Royal Highness sent three, and King Wen sent three. I just saw that they were still well placed. How could there be two more inexplicably? Isn't it..."

Cinnabar is anxious, "What is it? I heard that there were not many pomegranates when they were sent to the merchants. Could it be that some palace man stole and framed them?

"No," Linglong squeezed her lips and shook her head, but her face was even worse. "When Prince Duan came, he also carried a basket in his hand, just like the basket used by Prince and King Wen to hold pomegranates. Is it the pomegranate sent by Prince Duan?"

"send? This is not a gift!" The cinnabar patted the table angrily, "It's obvious that he threw it to make fun of me after feeding the dog!"

"Your Highness, don't say this. Lord Duan doesn't seem to be a person who can do such a thing," Linglong thought of Bai Yin's character. "I'm afraid that Prince Duan originally wanted to send pomegranates to the princess, but it can be seen that someone sent it first... Maybe he is angry."

"He... What's wrong with him! What's the matter..." The more Zhusha said, the lower his voice became, and he gradually lost his confidence.

If you send rare things to him, but see Chengyu send them to him first, will you be angry? No way! Cinnabar told himself very firmly that it was not like an answer, but like a reminder! If you are angry, doesn't it mean that you are jealous?

The cinnabar suddenly cooled down! Is Bai Yin jealous?

Qinghe next to him coughed softly, "Princess."

"Yes, yes," the cinnabar came to his senses and looked at Qinghe with embarrassment. "I forgot, Qinghe, what's the matter with you?"

Qing He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the cinnabar, "It's a letter from home."

The eyes of cinnabar suddenly emitted a bright glow, such as pomegranate and Bai Yin. She suddenly left it behind her, grabbed the letter and read it.

On the paper is Shuiyun's self. When he speaks, he is still so "unconventional". The cinnabar smiled helplessly, and his eyes followed the words one by one.

"My little sand is really good. I lived up to my trust, hope and heavy burden, and finally caught Prince Bai Ze! This Bai Ze is one of the best. Don't let it go easily! However, remember to remember! Don't be too frivolous. Everything should be captured, and reserved women are more likable..."

Shuiyun's words are still so trustworthy. Sometimes it is pulled to the east, and sometimes it is pulled to the west. I can't see the cinnabar crying or laughing.

"Who said I caught the prince? The gossip will be sent thousands of miles away. What can I say?"

Qing He frowned and looked at the cinnabar, "Doesn't the princess know about the prince's bere marriage?"

Cinnabar shook his head with a dull face, "No, really not."

This Qinghe is a person in the palace of King Chu Yun. The matter of the prince's marriage with cinnabar has long been spread in the Yunxiang Hall. "Maybe you should know in a few days."

Zhu Sha looked through Shuiyun's letter again in disbelief. Sure enough, Da Shang had sent someone to Wu Zhao to discuss this matter.

Zhu Sha was stunned for a long time, but he still couldn't believe it.

Things came a little too suddenly. In addition, there have been a lot of trivial things recently. The marriage matter happened inexplicably, which made cinnabar a little at a loss and forgot that Bai Ze was the purpose of his businessman.

Brother Ze, good-looking and erudite, is the national reserve of the future big businessman. No woman can think of a reason to refuse him.

However, when I think of Gan Ning's incident, I still feel a little pimple in my heart - even if it's his own plea, Bai Ze just means that there is nothing he can do. Can such a man really be entrusted? I don't know about cinnabar.

"Princess," looking at the entangled expression of cinnabar, Qing He really surprised, "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"

Zhu Sha sighed, "Even if you marry Brother Ze, can you really make Wu Zhao better?"

Qing He's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and his face softened a lot. "Princess, marrying a prince, whether it's the princess or Wu Zhao, is the best choice now. Maybe the result is unsatisfactory, but there is no other way."

Yes, maybe that's all I have. As Bai Yin said, people have limited abilities. They want to be a savior, but in the end, they are just a laugh at by others.

It sounds so cowardly, but there is nothing I can do.

"Rearly, there have been a lot of things around the queen. It is inevitable to be suspicious after leaving for a long time. If the princess has nothing else to do for the time being, Qinghe will go back first."

"Be careful."

Staring at Qing He's hands and feet left the back window and got into the vast night. The cinnabar sighed and leaned his head against the window.

"Linglong," the cinnabar looked at the ink-like night listlessly, "You said, do you want to be the crown princess, okay?"

Linglong lowered his head, "That must be a choice to bring glory to the family and peace to Wu Zhao."

"Well, what about myself?"

Brother Ze, who used to beat his heart even at a glance, and Brother Ze, who had long been identified as the best son-in-law by himself and his father and mother... Zhu Sha couldn't tell the reason. I don't know whether he had changed or Bai Ze changed. How much he dreamed of marrying him before.

Now, it makes cinnabar hesitate.

Linglong sighed softly, "People have never lived for themselves."

"Linglong, are you also doing this to me because your mother is my mother's wet nurse?"

"Yes."

Linglong answered very simply, as if he had determined that he had no other emotional relationship with cinnabar except for this connection.

The cinnabar looked at Linglong in surprise, "Really?"

"Princess, in this palace, feelings can't be found casually. On this land, feelings are far away from Billy's sword and hurt people."

"I don't understand..." The cinnabar muttered weakly. She understood what Linglong meant and didn't want to understand. She couldn't figure out why people should be together if they had no feelings.

"The princess should always understand what it means to be involuntarily. Someone has arranged your way for you. You have to go. If you don't, you have to go."

That's right. At present, this marriage seems to be a fore. It's useless for cinnabar to know how hesitating hesitating he is.

The news of the wedding was spread soon after. The cinnabar only received an edict, and there was nothing else.

Bai Ze didn't even say anything to himself. Zhu Sha increasingly feels that this marriage is ridiculous. This is not a marriage between himself and Bai Ze at all, but a transaction between Wu and Showa merchants.

"It may be that His Royal Highness has been busy with the expedition recently," Linglong saw that Zhusha has been in a bad mood these days and comforted him. "It's not on purpose to snold the princess."

Cinnabar smiled bitterly, "No matter how busy you are, can you not even have an hour? Linglong, don't... wait! Did you say it? What kind of expedition?"

Linglong has said a lot in the past few days. Cinnabar has been absent-minded. Linglong shook her head. "I said a few days ago that His Royal Highness is going to go on an expedition these days. Now there are many rumors in the court. It is said that if the prince returns from this expedition, after the marriage with the princess, the king will be ready to pass the throne to the prince!"

"You mean the pass?"

Linglong nodded solemnly, "That's right, that is... ascending the throne!"

After the wedding, if Bai Ze can ascend the throne, he will not only be the crown princess, but also the mother of the great merchant! The heartbeat of the cinnabar accelerated a little, not to say whether he was excited or worried.

"Bear by the way, you just said that you are going on an expedition. Where is the prince going on an expedition?"

"It's Gan Ning."

Cinnabar's face suddenly became much more solemn. Since Bai Shi was seriously ill, the matter of sending troops to Gan Ning has been put on hold for the time being. I thought that Bai Shi's body could not support the expedition to Gan Ning, but I didn't expect him to assign Bai Ze to go!

"When will you leave?"

"It seems that it will be tomorrow!"

Hearing this, cinnabar hurriedly got up, "I'll go out!"
