Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 472 I Never Treated You as an Opponent

That day was no different from any other day.

The breeze is blowing, the sun is warm and soft, the sun in late autumn dissipates the richness of summer, and the white dangles hang in the sky, which is not dazzling.

On such a gentle afternoon rather than depression, a thunderbolt blasted directly over the sky of Youfu.

I heard that the Eldest Princess came down from the poker table in a hurry. After rushing back to the mansion, she didn't even have time to drink her saliva. She changed into her court clothes and went straight into the palace. Some people saw that Her Highness the Eldest Princess, who usually does not even have a single strand of hair messy, was arranging the slightly messy hairpin on her head while walking this time.

Mostly they want to resist the decree, and maybe they have prepared the scene of crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, and some other emotional cards.

However, since the decree has been issued, the jade seal has been sealed, and it is read out in public, where is there room for change?
What's more, if you want to say that the emperor can know how much you love and I want in this marriage?Can the emperor know where she, You Lingxi, belongs in his heart?
It was because he knew that, before his thoughts leaked out, he cut through the mess and caught everyone by surprise.In such a situation, you, You Lingxi, really hang a white silk silk on the southeast branch, fearing that you will eventually have to enter the Chen family's ancestral hall and be incensed by the Chen family.

In short, the eldest princess returned home quickly.

Some said that the eldest princess threatened her with death at the door of the imperial study, and the emperor was so angry that he told her to die. Some said that the emperor never saw her, and only sent Manager Zhang to persuade her.

It is also said that Manager Zhang is not here to persuade, but to threaten the future of the You family.

In short, no matter how stormy the city was after the thunderstorm, on the surface it ended abruptly and unquestionably.While Chen Jiahui was still moaning in bed, the little eunuch who was going to deliver the decree had already finished reading the imperial decree in front of his bed with frowned eyes and a dull expression.

That night, officials from the Ministry of Rituals went out of the city gate to the Chen family to discuss the marriage.

In just half a day, the mess was cut with a sharp knife, and everything was settled.

……

Early the next morning, it rained.

The rain was not heavy, and it was like the autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Ji Wuyan was awakened by the raindrops hitting the pond in a daze, so she got up.After getting up, he felt tired again, moved the reclining chair, made a pot of tea, flipped through the picture book brought by Jifeng, and beside him was the snack brought back from Fengchenju yesterday, a delicate and small sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

She likes the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Many osmanthus trees were planted in Zhuangzi for this purpose.

At that time, she was playful and learned all her kung fu to the level of a three-legged cat. Climbing a tree was enough. Every flower season, she jumped up and down to pick sweet-scented osmanthus, followed by a bunch of anxious servant girls waiting to pick her up at any time, and sometimes Shangguan Yuan...

At that time...it was so exciting.

"Girl." Just as he was sighing, Ziqiu came in with an oil-paper umbrella, such a drizzle was always floating, even with an umbrella, the amount of rain that could be blocked was limited, and his little face under the umbrella was wet and stained with water vapor.She put away the umbrella, put down the washed fruit in her hands, and said, "Just now before I came in, I was informed by the concierge, saying that the princess was seeing the girl. The slave girl thought that this was reasonable, and we didn't have any reason to keep people out, so I decided to ask someone to bring them in."

The words are calm and well-founded, but the narrow light in the eyes is faint and indistinct.

Could it be that after hearing about the gift of marriage, he wanted to watch a good show.

Ji Wuyan shook her head helplessly, and tapped Ziqiu's forehead with her fingertips, but she didn't pierce it. She just nodded in agreement, "Although I don't want to see her, but you are right, there is no reason to stop the princess from the door." It's not like I didn't stop...

You Lingxi came very quickly, dressed in plain clothes, his face became haggard and gloomy, quite different from his usual appearance.

Ji Wuyan didn't expect that she would come to look for herself. In her perception, the last thing You Lingxi wants to see in this situation is probably herself.

But when she came, she didn't hide her haggardness.

And maybe, it's too late to hide it.

After taking his seat, he served tea, but You Lingxi didn't drink it, but looked at the tea in his hand with lowered eyebrows, and twitched his mouth, "You know about the imperial decree, right?"

Ji Wuyan leaned against the back of the chair, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and replied lightly, "Yes."

"Ji Wuyan, you have won." The other party said so.

She admitted her failure with unwillingness and loneliness.Only then did Ji Wuyan look sideways at her, and after a long while, he retracted his gaze and smiled, "Believe it or not, I never regarded you as an opponent. What I said to you at that time was true. The world is so big, Ning Xiuyuan's choice was never just you and me, and mine was not just him... If he hadn't treated me very well, I wouldn't have spent the rest of my life giving back to him."

You Lingxi was taken aback, her eyes were obviously astonished, she seemed to have never thought about these thoughts at all, and she murmured after a while, "You... how can you say such a thing? Women, women should stick to one thing..." On top of her haggardness, she was stunned, making her look lost, confused, and helpless.

Most of the pride in his body was broken in such an imperial decree.

"What about the man? Just be a man with three wives and four concubines?" Ji Wuyan raised her eyebrows and asked her, "If you really entered Ningguo's mansion, and Ning Xiuyuan is like so many other men, what if you add a new man after you?"

"Of course it's a husband and a child, controlling the concubine's house, and managing the inner courtyard." The other party replied straightforwardly without any hesitation.

It's all words from the heart.

So when the first rumors about Ning Xiuyuan and Ji Wuyan came out, You Lingxi didn't even take it seriously - a new love, a confidante, a man, there is something to be happy about, even if it's on the top of your heart, it's just a concubine's room.

But it was different later, Ji Wuyan's existence began to threaten her position, and it wasn't until this time that You Lingxi had the idea of ​​targeting Ji Wuyan.

Recalling the past, I sighed a lot. At that time, I would never have thought that a marriage decree would ruin the rest of my life.Chen Jiahui, she recognized him, met him, had dinner, and during that time, his eyes were so obscene that he nearly let out a sigh of relief.

Such a man is her future husband?

It would be better to let her die!

She, You Lingxi, has always been proud that she would never marry an unattractive man even if she died. If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have wasted her age.The white silk had already been hung on the beams of the house, but my father said that the imperial decree had been issued, and even if he died, he would bind the memorial tablet with silk and send it to the Chen Family Ancestral Temple.

Not only that, resisting the decree...is a serious crime to punish the nine clans.
