Part 7
Late at night, Ming Jingzhou helped Shen shi remove her hairpin, "Madam, did Jiuzhou suffer any grievances when she entered the palace a few days ago?"
Shen shi shook her head, "I saw that she was very happy when she returned, so I didn't ask much. She must have had a good conversation with Imperial Noble Consort Su."
Imperial Noble Consort Su had been favored for many years, and was not an easy person to get along with.
Jiuzhou had to marry into the Shenwang Palace, and she only hoped that she would be favored by Imperial Noble Consort Su.
"But I don't know who poisoned my daughter, she always said that the Shenwang was the best person in the world..."
"Perhaps it was Imperial Noble Consort Su?" Shen shi walked to the bed and sat down, sighing softly, "Jiuzhou is so naive, Imperial Noble Consort Su was able to make the Emperor favor her alone, and it only took a few sentences to coax Jiuzhou."
Speaking of this, Shen shi frowned, "Is there really no way to salvage things from His Majesty?"
Ming Jingzhou adjusted the blanket and lay down on the bed with Shen shi, "The Imperial Astronomical Institute has already started choosing a good day and month, this matter cannot be reversed anymore."
"If it wasn't for the rumor that she and the Qi King were boating around the lake before the Shen Wang and the Sun family's daughter got engaged, then our Jiuzhou wouldn't have been married to that evil devil king." Parents who side with their children will never reason.
Shen shi couldn't bear to let her daughter marry the Shen Wang, she started to blame the Sun family's daughter.
Knowing that her wife was temporarily angry, Ming Jingzhou didn't say anything.
A smart man is one who, whether he agrees or not, when his wife is scolding someone, he definitely cannot be a gentleman who likes to preach, because the price to pay is very high.
Women are the ones who teach men how to stretch and bend best.
Jiu Zhou didn't know that her parents had gone to bed, but she was still worried about her marriage.
She leaned against the windowsill, looking up at the starry night sky, wondering what her two masters were doing right now?
Were the two of them arguing about who was going to wash the dishes, or were they admiring the moon?
The day she left, she had asked Sixth Brother to leave a bag of silver behind, the two masters certainly wouldn't be short of money.
"Miss." Chun Fen stood outside the window holding a lamp, softly reminding, "The autumn nights are quite cold, you should go and rest, tomorrow you'll climb the mountain with Madam."
"Sister Chun Fen, don't worry, climbing the mountain is just a small matter." Jiu Zhou proudly raised her chin, "Don't talk about climbing the mountain, even climbing a tree is fine."
Her Taoist temple was located deep in the mountains, normally when she had nothing to do but was too lazy to read, she would secretly climb to the top of the mountain, watching the sunrise and sunset, listening to the birds chirping in her ears.
"This servant knows that climbing mountains will not be difficult for Miss." Chun Fen explained with a smile, "Sleep early to have a good spirit, tomorrow when climbing the mountain you will meet other ladies.
This is the first time Miss has met other noble ladies, your appearance and demeanor definitely cannot be inferior to theirs."
Jiu Zhou stroked her face, the people of the capital were too ambitious, climbing the mountain had to pay so much attention.
"Jiu Zhou, comparing back and forth is no fun." Sniffing, Jiu Zhou pulled the cloak she was wearing up a little higher, it was a bit chilly at night.
Chun Fen laughed, she put down the lantern, reached out to help Jiu Zhou adjust her robe, "Young lady, you are the future Divine Princess.
In the future, wherever you are, many people will pay attention to you."
"Is it true that if I lose face, the Divine King will also lose face?" Jiu Zhou obediently stretched her neck to let Chun Fen adjust her robe for convenience.
Chun Fen's hand movements paused, she didn't know what the Divine King looked like, but with the Divine King's reputation in the capital, she probably wouldn't bother to pay attention to what the young lady did.
A prince full of nonsense named a cricket General Chang Sheng, and named a dog General Zhen An, so he was still afraid of losing face?
"Sister Chun Fen, I'm going to sleep now, you should also go back to your room and rest early." Jiu Zhou pulled her head into the window, just as Chun Fen hadn't had time to react, she poked her head out again, "Sweet dreams, big sister."
Xuan Phan shook his head and smiled, thinking about how such a good girl was about to marry the God King, not knowing how much grievance she would have to endure, the corners of his lips raised and then fell.
Phi Ha Mountain is located to the east of the Royal Garden. Every time it is the day of climbing the mountain during the Chongyang Festival, the Royal Family will send soldiers to guard this place to ensure the safety of climbers.
On this day, whether noble or commoner, everyone can come here to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery.
The Ming family's carriage stopped at the foot of Phi Ha Mountain. Jiu Zhou touched the sachet of fragrant flowers on his waist and got off the carriage following Shen Shi.
At the foot of the mountain, there were people using fragrant flowers to weave wreaths to sell, and there were also people selling handkerchiefs and silk scarves embroidered with the image of flowers, it looked very lively.
The children surrounded the carriages of the nobles selling fragrant flowers. The nobles were not stingy, and would buy a few branches.
The children received the money, chattering away good wishes, then happily left.
Jiu Zhou also bought a few fragrant flowers bracelets to give to the maidservants by Shen Shi's side.
The bright red mulberry fruit appeared and disappeared on her wrist, looking quite beautiful.
Jiu Zhou gently shook her wrist, a gust of wind blew past, causing the silk to brush against her face.
"Greetings to His Highness the Prince of Qi."
"Madam Shen, there is no need to be so formal." The Prince of Qi smiled and helped Shen Shi stand up.
He was already handsome, and when he smiled, he became even more gentle and graceful, "Today is a beautiful day, the scenery is also beautiful, Madam Shen and Your Majesty, please take your time to enjoy the scenery."
Pulling down the silk that was covering her face, Jiu Zhou did not have time to see clearly what the person who had just arrived looked like, she only knelt down and bowed.
"Your Highness is right." Shen Shi smiled, "This little girl has just returned to the capital, and I also want to take her to see the sights here.
Your Majesty is a talented ruler, the country is prosperous, and the capital is full of beautiful sights.
This little girl is curious about everything, and has already made Your Highness laugh."
"Among us brothers, only Fifth Brother is good at sightseeing." Qi Wang looked towards Jiuzhou, "Waiting for your order..."
The young girl in a pale yellow dress raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and innocence.
"Little girl greets the prince, greets Madam Shen."
Qi Wang looked at the newcomer, nodded slightly, "Greetings Miss Sun."
Sun Taiyao's face showed a shy expression, and she greeted Qi Wang.
Jiuzhou looked at Qi Wang, then looked at Miss Sun who had just gotten off the carriage and walked straight to this side, she immediately understood, this was called "Shyly closed eyebrows, hoping that the lord would understand her feelings".
"This subject is walking slowly so I will take a step forward, respectfully asking for your forgiveness, prince and Miss Sun." Shen Shi was sensible, Qi Wang and Miss Sun were an unmarried couple, of course they would want to chat more, outsiders like them should not stand here.
"Madam, please feel free." The King of Qi gently smiled.
Sun Taiyao looked at Jiuzhou's departing back, her teeth gently biting her lips, she lowered her head to hide the emotions in the depths of her eyes.
"Mother." Jiuzhou supported Shen shi's arm, whispering, "I think that Miss Sun looks at me strangely."
Shen shi sneered, "A few months ago, His Majesty intentionally pushed for the marriage between Miss Sun and the King of Shen, but unfortunately Miss Sun already had feelings for the King of Qi.
How could His Majesty let a girl who was attached to someone else marry the King of Shen.
So His Majesty had no choice but to change his mind, and let Miss Sun and the King of Qi get engaged."
"So that's how it is." Jiuzhou nodded in surprise.
"What do you think?" Shen shi looked at her daughter.
What do you think?
Jiuzhou hesitantly replied, "Miss Sun and the King of Qi...! Are they a good match?"
Shen shi, "..."
You're wrong, you shouldn't ask this question.
You should start worrying, how can a daughter marry into the royal family without being bullied by her sisters-in-laws?
The girl's straightforward nature must have been inherited from her father.
On the way, occasionally someone would come and talk to Shen shi, it seemed like everyone was looking at her from head to toe with eyes like they were looking at a stranger.
If she could charge a fee, her bag would probably be heavy.
With great difficulty, they finally reached the resting pavilion on the mountainside. Shen shi and a few familiar ladies sat together drinking tea and chatting. Jiu Zhou sat beside her and smiled, but in her heart, it was as if the sparrows on the branches had long flown to the top of the mountain.
"Mother and the ladies sit here and drink tea, and you go up to the top of the mountain to help us pick some branches of the salvia." Shen shi looked at Jiu Zhou sitting there obediently, her legs occasionally moving, and said with a smile, "Little girl has good stamina, I can leave this matter to you."
"Yes." Jiu Zhou stood up, curtsying, "Mother and the ladies sit and wait for a while, Jiu Zhou will go for a bit and will be back soon."
After saying that, she carried the wall and ran slowly out of the resting pavilion.
The ladies looked at Jiu Zhou's back, feeling sad, "Ling Jin is really quite a person."
But, the marriage partner is not ideal.
"Sisters are too kind, she is still very young." Shen shi smiled slightly, "As parents, I only hope that she is healthy and nothing more."
The ladies nodded in agreement, as parents, who doesn't want their child to be healthy, lucky, and have everything go as planned.
Chun Fen knew that her young lady knew how to climb mountains, but she didn't expect her young lady to be able to climb so well.
She sat down on the ground panting, not caring about her current appearance.
She looked at her charming young lady again, her face not red, her breathing not rapid, as if nothing had happened.
"Sister Chun Fen, sit down and rest for a while, I'll go pick some berries." Jiu Zhou took off the silk cloak that was draped over her arm, put it in Chun Fen's hand, shook her head and sighed, "Sister Chun Fen, you are really weak."
Spring Equinox, "..."
Miss, please understand the truth, it's not that I'm weak, it's that you're too strong!
The tree trunk is not tall, the clusters of red fruits hanging from the top of the branches are both beautiful and eye-catching.
Jiu Zhou climbed up the tree easily, choosing the branch of the reddest and most beautiful tree.
"Little girl, it's you again."
Jiu Zhou pushed the branch away and looked down, it was the purple-robed young master she had met the other day.
Today, he was wearing a black and red brocade robe, highlighting his jade-like white face.
He raised his head to look at Jiu Zhou, pointing at the tree branch of the tree beside her, "Can you help me pick this branch?"
"This branch?" Jiu Zhou reached out and plucked it, a "crack" sound rang out, the branch as big as a thumb was easily broken off by her, "Brother, stand a little further away, let me throw it down."
Looking at the neatly cut branch of the oleander, the Divine King silently retreated a few steps.
The oleander branch landed on the ground with a "swish" sound.
The autumn wind blew past, swaying the branches back and forth, looking quite dangerous.
The Divine King walked closer to the tree again, "Little girl, come down."
"Huh?" The wind blew past, causing the branches to rustle. Jiu Zhou couldn't hear what the other party said, he decisively stepped on the branch and jumped down, wiping off the dust on his palm, "What did you just say?"
The Divine King, "..."
Which family's idiot is this, why is he so rude?
The wind stopped, and the voices of men talking could be heard faintly around.
"Miss Sun is really lucky, to be engaged to His Highness the King of Qi."
"But Miss Ming is so unlucky, she was raised in Lingzhou since she was young, living far away from her parents, not to mention anything, just returned to the capital and got involved in the marriage of the Divine King.
I heard that after returning to the capital, this young lady only stayed at home for a month, not going out, but unexpectedly still couldn't escape the fate of having to marry the Divine King."
"You guys keep your voices down, if the Divine King hears it, it will be troublesome.
Who doesn't know that the Divine King will avenge his revenge, and is cruel and unreasonable."
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
The Divine King just snorted, looking at Jiuzhou who was rolling up his sleeves, "Hey little girl, what are you snorting about?"
Jiuzhou continued to roll up her sleeves, at the same time taking steps towards the direction of the sound.
"Hey!" The Divine King reached out and grabbed the little girl's collar, "What are you going to do?"
"Fight!".
