After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ce looked at Cheng Jin who was standing aside: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Cheng Jin, you choose one of the sisters."
It is indeed not good-looking to have this happen in the royal family, but if Cheng Jin becomes a family member, this incident will be just a scandal for the family. Besides, Cheng Jin is indeed excellent. If one of Yongning and Yongchun sisters really follows Cheng Jin, I believe it will be over.
Not bad.
Cheng Jin was resisting in his heart, but he had also been mentally prepared, because the emperor had said that he would definitely marry an eldest princess, and this was an unchangeable outcome.
Xiao Yu originally thought that in this situation, Cheng Jin would choose her without hesitation, but seeing Cheng Jin's hesitation now, her heart dropped.
So, it was just her illusion that she and Cheng Jin were in love. Cheng Jin didn't like her, right?
If Cheng Jin really had feelings for her, he wouldn't be so hesitant.
Xiao Ce also saw Cheng Jin's hesitation, and he opened his lips sarcastically: "Why, my imperial sister is not worthy of Prince Cheng?!"
Only then did Cheng Jin react. He looked at the two eldest princesses.
Princess Yongning had tears in her eyes and looked at him pitifully, just like she did on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xiao Yu was looking ahead, wondering what he was thinking, and his expression looked a little indifferent.
As for what Xiao Yu looked like that night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't remember clearly. He only remembered Xiao Yu'er's lively appearance. She always seemed to have endless things to say, and she also loved to laugh.
She said that she had a very powerful brother and a sister-in-law who was omnipotent. The sister-in-law she mentioned was, if not unexpected, the imperial concubine who once dominated the harem...
Cheng Jin came to his senses, he held his hands and said: "I am very lucky to have the opportunity to honor Her Royal Highness the Princess. I hope that the Emperor and Her Royal Highness will not give up. I respect the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess Yongchun."
Xiao Ce was very satisfied with Cheng Jin's success. He said to Xiao Yu: "Yongchun, what do you say?"
Xiao Yu thought that Cheng Jin made this choice out of desperation. After eliminating Yong Ning, she was the only one left. She was the choice that Cheng Jin had no choice about. What was there to be happy about.
If she had any ambition, she would have said yes to the marriage, but she couldn't bear it.
"My sister is not young anymore. I hope to set a wedding date as soon as possible and get married to Prince Cheng as soon as possible." Xiao Yu looked directly at Xiao Ce and said.
Xiao Ce smiled when he heard this: "Okay, okay! Let the concubine choose a good and auspicious day and make an appointment for the marriage as soon as possible."
"My sister, I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness." Cheng Jin and Xiao Yu said in unison.
Qin Zhao rushed over soon. She did not expect that the eldest princess Yongning would actually throw herself into chaos, nor did she expect that the marriage between Cheng Jin and Xiao Yu would be settled so quickly.
"The royal family has not held any happy events for a long time, and the imperial concubine needs to do it properly." Xiao Ce explained in a good mood when he saw Qin Zhao coming over.
"Yes, I can save it." Qin Zhao was also in a good mood.
Princess Yongning on the side seemed to be petrified. She did not expect that she would lose to this idiot Xiao Yu. She had obviously suppressed Xiao Yu her whole life, but now it was Xiao Yu who won her in the most critical battle.
Cheng Jin was the man she fell in love with at first sight, how could Xiao Yu snatch Cheng Jin away from her?
Looking at Xiao Yu's back, Princess Yongning's eyes were full of unwillingness.
Qin Zhao felt the gaze of Princess Yongning. When he looked back, he saw Princess Yongning's undisguised hatred.
She whispered to Xiao Yu: "You have to be careful, the eldest princess Yongning hates you now. Fortunately, you will get married soon, but in the meantime, you still have to guard against her plotting against you behind your back. If you talk about scheming,
, she is a good player, I’m afraid that you are no match for her, and you don’t know what happened to her.”
Xiao Yu was also feeling anxious: "Please help me keep an eye on it. I'd better marry out of the palace as soon as possible. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion shouldn't be as complicated as the situation in the palace."
Even Cheng Jin may not be sincere in marrying her, and marrying her was forced by circumstances, which is not something to be happy about.
"This is your business, why do you ask me to keep an eye on her? Can I help you keep an eye on her all the time?" Qin Zhao said angrily, thinking that Xiao Yu really didn't regard her as an outsider.
"Then you don't care about my life or death? You clearly said that I was your friend, but I still treat you as my sister-in-law..."
When Qin Zhao heard Xiao Yu's words, he wanted to shut her mouth: "You must never mention this word again in the future, because I am afraid of you. Let's do this, I will ask Xiao Linzi to send people to keep an eye on Yongning Zhai, if there is any trouble.
I will inform you in time, and you should be careful yourself. I will choose an auspicious day as soon as possible and arrange for you to get married."
Xiao Yu was very satisfied with Qin Zhao's arrangement, but when she thought that Cheng Jin only married her out of necessity, the smile on her face gradually faded.
When Qin Zhao saw this small detail, he asked nobly, "You won the eldest princess Yongning, shouldn't you be happy?"
Xiao Yu nodded, then shook his head: "I don't think Prince Cheng sincerely wants to marry me. If it weren't for the pressure from the imperial brother, Prince Cheng would not choose to marry me."
So what's there to be happy about?
"Since I don't really want to marry you, then we don't want Prince Cheng anymore." Qin Zhao said with a hint of truth.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he became anxious: "That won't work!"
"Cheng Shizi didn't really marry you, and you wouldn't be too happy marrying him. Since it's an unhappy marriage, it's okay not to want it. Why can't it work?" Qin Zhao asked leisurely.
Xiao Yu blushed: "I, I like Prince Cheng, and I want to marry him!"
"Yes, if you are determined to marry Prince Cheng, there is no need to worry about temporary gains and losses. He doesn't like you now. After you marry him, you will show your advantages and let him fall in love with you as much as possible. Even if he is like this
I will never be tempted by you in my life, and he doesn’t look like he will mess around outside. If Prince Cheng is your goal in life, then you must move forward unswervingly towards this goal. But I
I have another word of advice for you, people must not lose themselves, love themselves more, and don’t lose yourself in love." Qin Zhao said seriously.
Xiao Yu listened carefully and nodded frequently: "I know."
"Okay, you should go back early." Qin Zhao said and got on the chariot.
"I'm going to Jinyang Palace for dinner." Xiao Yu had his own idea.
When she gets married in the future, it will be difficult for her to eat Baoyu's cooking. Now this opportunity is rare, so she must seize it.
In this way, Xiao Yu had dinner at Jinyang Palace before returning to Yongchunzhai.
Unexpectedly, just after she entered Yongchunzhai, a chamberlain told her that Yongning was coming.
Because she had eaten and drank enough, and had Qin Zhao to relieve her boredom, she was in a good mood at the moment. Knowing that Yongning was coming, she didn't feel much. After all, the outcome was decided. Even if Yongning came to trouble her, it would not change her relationship with Cheng.
