She was about to marry Gu Jing, even if she was only a concubine now, as long as Gu Jing has her in his heart, as long as she could be helpful to Gu Jing, she believes and was convinced that she would be uprighted.
Moreover, Qin Jiu was about to lose her reputation, and the fate of the two of them would finally go on their separate ways.
Qin Xin’s lips curled a little higher, and was about to pick up the light blue porcelain tea cup when she heard Shuxiang exclaim, “Young Miss!”
Qin Xin looked towards Shuxiang in confusion, Shuxiang raised her hand and pointed to the light blue porcelain tea cup and said, “This tea cup is cracked.”
Sure enough, there was a half-inch-long crack on the side of the light blue porcelain tea cup.
Qin Xin stared at the crack and slightly frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. This was too unlucky!
The sky outside had completely darkened, and the evening breeze blew into the room through the window, swaying the candles in the lanterns non-stop with the wind.
Not only Qin Xin’s room but so was the Marquis’s house and the entire capital city was lit with lanterns. As the night gradually deepened, the starry lanterns gradually went out, and the capital was shrouded in a thick night.
One night passed quickly, and by the morning of the next day, the news of the second prince Gu Jing being stabbed by Yelu Luan had spread throughout the court.
At the morning court, Lord Chengen was the first to stand up and impassionedly present to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the second prince of the Northern Yan, Yelu Luan, is really defiant and dares to injure the imperial son on Daqi’s territory, he must be severely punished in order to uplift Daqi’s national prestige!”
“His Highness the second prince provoked Yelu Luan because of the matter of peace talks between the two countries and was hated by him. Thinking that His Highness the second prince also has great contributions for Daqi, Your Majesty, with this meritorious service it is not fair that only Gu Zezh Yu Fuyun was rewarded.”
Hearing his words, many courtiers in the court nodded slightly, feeling that what Lord Chengen said was not without reason.
The emperor’s eyes slightly flickered and remembered yesterday’s reply from the imperial physician. It turned out that this was what Gu Jing wanted.
The emperor said indifferently. “Since Lord Chengen is so worried about the second prince’s condition, why don’t you ‘help’ me to take care of the second prince until he recovers, as for your errand, and take it off for the time being.”
“…”
Lord Chengen was shocked and angry, he wanted to say something but, in the end, he wisely said nothing, instead, he winked at the other courtiers calmly as he retreated after receiving the order.
Obviously, the emperor was still dissatisfied with the second prince. Even the injury of the prince this time did not calm the emperor at all, if they continue to speak for the second prince now, it would only have the opposite effect and make the emperor even more annoyed.
Most courtiers felt that the emperor was not in a good mood, so the morning court ended quickly this day.
The next few days, people visited the second prince one after another, but Gu Jing didn’t see any of them, he only wrote in a pitiful tone that he was wounded, and there was no one in the mansion to serve him so he wanted to marry Qin Xin as soon as possible.
For the emperor, taking a concubine was a trivial matter so the emperor agreed directly.
With the emperor’s approval, everything became easier, so the second prince’s house and the Qin family soon set an auspicious date, on the tenth day of the fifth month.
Madam Su asked people to deliver the invitation to the Qin family, it was for Qin Jiu.
Du Ruo said, “Young Miss, the marquis invites you on that day.”
Du Ruo disdainfully said to herself: This Marquis doesn’t understand etiquette at all, Qin Xin is going to be someone’s concubine, just riding on a simple sedan chair and quietly entering the side gate, but they insist on sending invitations to make everyone know. She really doesn’t know what they were thinking, do they think that this was something that would bring honor to the Marquis?
Qin Jiu: “?”
Qin Jiu wasn’t paying attention to what Du Ruo said and just stared blankly at “The tenth day of the fifth month” written in red, stupefied.
Too soon ah!
She originally thought that the hero and heroine would still experience adversity, at least the hero should give the heroine a title other than a side concubine, and carry her into the main gate to show how sincere the hero’s feelings were for the heroine, but it turns out that the hero just casually really carried the heroine as a concubine into his house?
Could it be——
That the lover between the two of them doesn’t really care about their status and they just wanted to stay together forever, without complaint or regret?
The thought of this send shivers and goose bumps all over Qin Jiu’s body.
She was about to marry Gu Jing, even if she was only a concubine now, as long as Gu Jing has her in his heart, as long as she could be helpful to Gu Jing, she believes and was convinced that she would be uprighted.
