Chapter 151 I'm Going to Marry Him
Prince Rui's Mansion.
The maid Qiuyue paced back and forth in the corridor with a sad face. She tried to knock on the young lady's door several times, but then shrank back timidly.
Just now, she went to "Chang Xiangyi" on Chang'an Street to pick up her young lady's newly made jewelry, but then she heard the news that the Shen and Fu families were about to marry. She hurried back to the mansion without even picking up the jewelry.
But the young lady has to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day. If there is nothing particularly important, anyone who disturbs her will be punished...
Now the person the young lady cares about the most is going to the Shen family to propose marriage...
Thinking of this, Qiuyue made up her mind and knocked hard on the door: "Miss, I'm going in."
Zi Jin, who was lying on the bed half asleep, frowned when he heard the knock on the door. A hint of displeasure flashed across his sleepy eyes, and he said lazily, "What's the matter so early?"
Qiuyue carefully pushed open the door, put away the curtains, and said softly, "Miss, I just went to Chang'an Street to pick up something, and heard that the second son of the Fu family went to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage!"
Zi Jin was startled when he heard this, and the remaining sleepiness instantly disappeared. He immediately sat up from the bed, stared at Qiu Yue and asked again: "Fu Shiyan? Did he go to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage?"
"That's right, miss, what should we do now?" A thin layer of sweat appeared on Qiuyue's nose, and there was a hint of timidity in her words.
The lady would be furious if the person she likes and the person she hates the most are together. Once the master is angry, the servants will suffer...
"Hurry up and help me change my clothes." Zi Jin looked at Qiuyue angrily and scolded.
This Huaying from the Shen family is quite cunning. I haven't bothered her for a few days, but she has stirred up such a big storm. She's really a little bitch.
"Miss, don't be angry. What are you going to do?" Qiuyue carefully changed the lady's clothes while testing her cautiously.
With the young lady's temper, she would definitely question Fu Jia Erlang angrily.
"I want to ask Fu Shiyan, is he blind? In terms of beauty, talent, and appearance, how is I inferior to the girl from the Shen family?"
Qiuyue glanced at the young lady secretly. The young lady kept calling her "Princess" and it seemed that she was really angry.
"Miss, I dare to say that it would be better for you to ask Prince Rui to ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant marriage than to question the second son of the Fu family. With your status, you can suppress the girl of the Shen family if you go to the Fu Mansion. What's more, you have the emperor's support. This honor is incomparable to the Shen family, don't you think?"
Qiuyue combed the young lady's hair carefully and comforted her softly.
Zi Jin looked at Qiu Yue in the mirror, his expression softened a lot, "You are quite clever today."
When Qiuyue heard the young lady praising her, the corners of her mouth secretly rose, "This servant is thinking about the young lady."
Zi Jin calmed down and thought carefully. Yes, if he really went to Fu Shiyan to argue on impulse, he would not only lose face but also might lose his heart. It would not be worth it!
Looking at the graceful and dignified beauty in the mirror, he thought to himself: "In what way can I, Wu Zijin, not compare to you, Huaying?" Confidence and pride arose spontaneously in his heart.
The world is big, and the emperor is the greatest. So what even if you, Huaying, and Fu Lang are in love?
As long as she can marry into the Fu family, it will only be a matter of time for her to win Fu Shiyan's heart.
After getting dressed, Zi Jin took the maid to his father's study.
As soon as I passed the gate, I saw my father pruning the branches of a pot of crabapple trees. A thick layer of petals and leaves were already scattered on the ground.
Zi Jin walked forward slowly, bowed slightly, and saluted her father: "Your daughter greets you, father."
Prince Rui looked up at the voice, a trace of kindness in his eyes, and smiled at his beautiful daughter: "It's rare to see Jin'er get up so early, and come to pay respects to your father. You don't come here for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and examined the crabapple flowers that he had just trimmed.
When Zi Jin heard his father's joke, he felt even more aggrieved and his eyes turned slightly red: "Father loves Jin'er the most. Father, you must make the decision for Jin'er this time!" As he spoke, tears slid down like beads with broken string, and big tears dripped onto the ground.
Prince Rui looked at his daughter crying in front of him, feeling distressed. He quickly handed the scissors in his hand to the servant beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied our princess?"
His eyes were full of worry, and he looked at Qiuyue who was standing beside him with a questioning look.
Seeing this, Qiuyue hurriedly shook her head.
"Sit down and tell your father what's going on."
Zi Jin sat down slowly and raised her head slightly. Her eyes were slightly red and tears were sliding down her cheeks. She looked at her father with a wronged look in her eyes: "Father, Miss Shen obviously knew that I liked Erlang of the Fu family, but she still deliberately competed with me for him. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing me? Today, the Shen family actually got engaged to the Fu family. This clearly shows that they don't take me, a princess, seriously! Father, you must make the decision for your daughter..."
Before he could finish his words, Zi Jin couldn't help sobbing softly again.
Prince Rui frowned slightly and asked seriously, "Marriage? The number one scholar and the daughter of the Shen family? Is this true?"
He naturally knew his daughter's feelings for Fu Shiyan, from their first meeting as children to Zi Jin's help with everything for Fu Shiyan after he returned to Beijing. He knew all these things clearly.
Prince Rui has always given people the impression of being a leisurely prince. On weekdays, he either plays with birds or grows flowers and plants. He leads a comfortable and leisurely life.
However, in order for Fu Shiyan to make progress in his official career, he went to the court to secretly give him advice and pave the way for him.
Although Fu Shiyan was fully aware of the good intentions of the Rui Palace, he never made any response.
It was his great fortune that the princess of Prince Rui's Mansion fell in love with him, but now that he had done such a thing, how would others view Prince Rui's Mansion?
"Father, I want to marry Fu Shiyan and be his legal wife." Zi Jin looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said in a low voice.
King Rui held his forehead with a headache, "It has to be him?"
Zijin nodded obediently.
"Then I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask for an imperial decree from your uncle." Prince Rui looked at his daughter helplessly and sighed secretly. It is impossible to keep a girl when she grows up.
Zi Jin raised her eyes to look at her father, then lowered her head again and said weakly, "To be honest, father, I have already asked the Emperor last time. The Emperor said that he would grant the marriage as long as Fu Shiyan agreed, but Fu Shiyan disagreed..."
Zi Jin's voice became smaller and smaller.
Prince Rui glanced at his disappointing daughter and said earnestly, "Since your mother left, we were afraid that you would be wronged, so your elder brother and I have been protecting you and spoiling you. But you are a woman after all, how can you treat marriage so casually? You didn't even let your father know, and you ran back to the palace to ask for permission. If others knew about it, how would you survive in the future?"
Zi Jin did not respond to her father's teachings, but just tore the embroidered handkerchief back and forth with her little mouth slightly pouting.
