The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 402 It’s okay, I just want to see you

 The next day, early in the morning.

 The weather is very good today and the breeze is intoxicating.

Official media came to the Princess Mansion, invited by the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

Along with the official media, there was also a respectable old lady.

The eldest princess smiled and came to entertain them personally.

After the official media comes, according to normal etiquette, the town government will choose a day to propose the marriage and then make an engagement, commonly known as "wedding". The two parties also need to discuss an auspicious date for the marriage, which usually involves three writings and six etiquette. The so-called three letters are the letter of appointment, the letter of etiquette, and the letter of welcome; the six rites are accepting the gift, asking for the name, accepting the auspiciousness, accepting the invitation, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride.

Du Wan, the client, was in the house listening to everyone's chat.

I found that such a set of marriage procedures would take at least a year and a half for those who are more particular about it.

 So, she felt at ease.

 On the contrary, Pei Hao was depressed!

Thought I could marry a little girl home this year, but what happened? Thinking of the three protectors in the Princess Mansion, they may not be able to satisfy him next year.

Mu Si'an, who was watching, laughed loudly, "What's the hurry? Now we can start the ceremony. If you hadn't canceled the engagement before, you could have saved some time."

Pei Hao: “…”

 This is heartbreaking.

Originally, the matter between the two families was not publicized, but many people were watching the two families. Soon the news spread throughout Kyoto. The two families who had canceled their engagement in the first month suddenly started discussing the marriage again.

This is a big gossip, and it spreads like crazy.

Pei Hao didn't want his family's affairs to become a topic of conversation after dinner, so he secretly spread the news that the army was about to return in triumph. It didn't take long for the news to overshadow the gossip of the two families.

 In the palace.

 Qin Yuyu was so angry that he threw his tea bowl when he heard the news.

He was so frightened that the palace maids around him lowered their heads and trembled in fear, hoping not to be noticed by Qin Yuyu. At first they thought the returning princess had a good temper, but after a while they realized that the rumors were not credible.

  Without the confidence of Goldfinger, Qin Yuyu is different from the self-confident and independent character in the book. After living in the capital for a long time, he has developed a temperament that appears bright and generous on the surface, but in fact he has low self-esteem and is sensitive, and is prone to losing his temper when surrounded by others. The ladies-in-waiting often became an outlet for her to vent her anger.

 Qin Yuyu sat down on the chair angrily.

A palace maid lowered her head and hurried over to report, "Princess, the Queen, please come over."

"I know." Qin Yuyu didn't have the confidence to say anything. When he passed by, he saw his cousins ​​chatting and laughing.

Du Yunrong was in a good mood today and took the initiative to say hello to Qin Yuyu, "Cousin, you are here. My aunt is waiting impatiently."

Qin Yuyu smiled in a gentle manner and said, "Cousin, as soon as I heard the queen mother said she was looking for me, I came immediately. When I came from a distance, I heard everyone laughing. I wonder what they were talking about?"

"What else can I say?" Du Yunrong covered her mouth and smiled, "Let's talk about the engagement between the princess and Prince Pei. Sometimes they cancel the engagement and then renew the engagement, making life's major events seem like a joke. It's really annoying. Headache."

 “Yes, yes.”

 Qin Yuyu’s smile almost collapsed after hearing this.

She didn’t want to talk to Du Yunrong, so she quickly walked to the queen and acted coquettishly.

Du Yunrong smiled meaningfully. Looking at the situation of a loving mother and a filial daughter, she no longer felt uncomfortable. Maybe the little devil was right. When it comes to the relationship between aunt and nephew, interests are more important. She is not young anymore, and she is thinking about which family in the capital she can marry.

 Mother and daughter are in the first place.

Qin Yuyu asked: "Mother, why did you call me here?"

"I almost forgot about business." The queen then remembered the purpose of inviting her daughter over. "The army will return in triumph in two days. The emperor will lead all the officials to greet them at the city gate. You and I will both go there by then."

“Will Cousin Yun Rong also go?” Qin Yuyu asked again with a smile.

The queen said: "Yes."

“Then cousin Wanwan is going too?”

"I don't know about this." The queen couldn't decide anything for Du Wan. "You can ask your father when you see him."

Qin Yuyu smiled reluctantly, "Cousin Wanwan loves to join in the fun, so she will definitely go." "Cousin, don't worry about the princess, she won't be able to steal your limelight if she goes, you will definitely stand by your aunt's side. Aunt The position is the most conspicuous." Du Yunrong said half-jokingly.

 Qin Yuyu is so angry in his heart.

 She is worried about being robbed of her limelight, but can she say this clearly?

　　At the last New Year's Eve palace banquet, Qin Yuyu still had a shadow in her heart. Du Wan and she were naturally at odds with each other. She would definitely be the one who would be unlucky if they were together.

 And Du Wan of the Princess Mansion received news of the return of the army.

Du Qian was telling her what he was going to do to welcome her, "You have to show your face and wear something grand for this."

"Understood." Du Wan thought of the eldest princess, "Where is mother?"

“Mom won’t go. There will be a lot of people that day, and my father is worried about an accident.”

 “It’s okay not to go.” Du Wan was very excited.

 She wanted to see the rumored grand occasion.

  Usually this kind of situation is only seen in books or on TV. Who wouldn’t enjoy it if you experience it for real?

Du Qian didn't sit there for long before he was asked to leave.

Ningqin secretly slipped a letter to Du Wan.

Du Wan was surprised. He opened the letter and read, "Hey, it's from Prince Pei?"

"Yes, it was given to the slave by a guard of the Pei family, saying that the prince wanted to give it to you."

“Sending letters was not so secretive in the past.”

"I don't know, but the person who sent the message asked the slave about you, and the slave said that you are with the king."

　　　…” Now I understood.

Pei Hao probably knew that her letters were often seen by Du Qian, and he specifically ordered the person who sent them.

Du Wan is very curious about what she can write.

 A large piece of letter paper has just a few words written on it: Juyuan Building.

So she stood up at once and said, "Come here, I want to sleep, no one should be disturbed."

Go back to the bedroom, close the door, and put on your teenage clothes.

Du Wan went out from the window, avoided the servants, climbed over the wall, and went to Juyuan Building with a clear goal. When he went up to the third floor, he saw Pei Hao sitting inside, reading a book.

"Reading again? What book are you reading?" Du Wan came up and asked.

Pei Hao looked slightly stiff, then put the book down and said, "I just picked up some miscellaneous books on the shelf."

“Oh, why did you ask me to come here?”

 “No, I just...want to see you.”

 “Cough cough cough…”

　Du Wan choked, it was her own saliva that caused her to choke.

Pei Hao took his big hand and ran it along her back, making her feel a little bit better. Seeing her little face that was slightly red from being choked, he regretted teasing her, "Come on, let's have a sip of tea first." ."

　　Picked up the tea bowl in front of him and put it into the little girl's hand.

The little girl probably didn't think much, she drank up the tea he gave her in one gulp and exhaled loudly. When she was about to put the tea bowl down, she finally discovered the problem.

 She just came over and there is no tea for her on the table yet!

 The only thing he has is his...

Pei Hao saw the little girl staring at her and said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't this just a moment of anxiety? I didn't think too much..."
