In terms of actual status, Xu Roujia is definitely not as good as Xie Jin, the prince of the British Duke's Mansion, but in terms of identity, Xu Roujia is at least the princess personally named by Emperor Yongxi.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Xie Jin was, he could not refute Xu Roujia's words.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that this girl was obviously a civilian, but she had the courage to challenge him.

Xie Jin disdains to have a quarrel with a woman again, but someone is unfair for him.

The eldest girl Zhou Xuan suddenly came over and frowned and said to Xu Roujia: "Atao, my cousin is for your own good, you must not be rude."

Xu Roujia raised her eyebrows: "Is that true? But I have never known the prince before. I am good or bad, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhou Xuan: "You..."

Xu Roujia bowed slightly: "I'm not feeling well, so I'll say goodbye first."

After saying that, Xu Rou left gracefully.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was stiff, and Zhou Xuan had to deal with the aftermath, and said to Xie Jin awkwardly: "Atao is confused and ungrateful, so don't bother with her."

Xie Jin looked at Zhou Qi on the side with cold eyes.

Zhou Qi picked up the tea bowl and savored the tea calmly, as if everything that just happened had nothing to do with him.

But Xie Jin clearly felt the pride that Zhou Qi exuded all over his body.

He didn't want to stay with Zhou Qi for a quarter of an hour.

After making an excuse, Xie Jin also left the flower hall early.

Looking at his back, Zhou Xuan gritted her teeth secretly.

After resting in the afternoon, Princess Chun sent someone to call her only baby daughter.

Zhou Xuan was depressed.

Princess Chun stepped down and asked her daughter in confusion: "Why are you still so unhappy when you see Xingzhi today?"

Zhou Xuan lowered her eyes, not wanting to admit that she was not as good as Princess Roujia before, but now she is even worse than A Tao, a folk girl who only looks like Princess Roujia.

But there was only a few things in the palace, and my daughter kept admiring Xie Jin again. Princess Chun guessed it after thinking a little more, and asked incrediblely: "Xinzhi, did you look at A Tao differently?"

Zhou Xuan pursed her lips.

A Tao was stupid and thought that Xie Jin was scolding her, but the authorities were fascinated by the onlookers. In Zhou Xuan's eyes, Xie Jin regarded A Tao as the shadow of Princess Roujia, so he could not tolerate A Tao listening to other men. Perhaps Xie Jin could not let go of his prejudice against A Tao's identity now, but as long as A Tao's face and A Tao's beauty are still there, Zhou Xuan believes that Xie Jin will be fascinated by A Tao sooner or later.

Thinking of Xie Jin's kindness to Princess Roujia, she could only look from afar and enviously, Zhou Xuan suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms and couldn't help crying: "Mom, the prince will never like me in this life, right?"

Princess Chun felt very distressed.

She felt that among the noble princes in the entire capital, her son Zhou Yu was the first-class young man, and Xie Jin was the second. So after discovering his daughter's thoughts about Xie Jin, Princess Chun agreed and kept trying to match the marriage. Princess Roujia once blocked the way, but now Princess Roujia is dead, and even the British wife's attitude is inclined to her daughter. How could Princess Chun tolerate an extra Tao out of thin air snatch Xie Jin's heart?

"Don't worry, Xuan'er, mom won't let anyone ruin your good marriage." Princess Chun whispered to hug her daughter.

Zhou Xuan didn't believe it: "He doesn't like me, what can I do?"

Princess Chun touched her daughter's hair and said softly: "Marriage is a major event, parents' orders, Xuan'er is waiting for her mother with peace of mind."

.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the night of the Lantern Festival, King Chun will come to Funing Hall in the past half month to show the love between husband and wife and the harmony of the family.

However, since Princess Chun discovered that she was malicious about the fourth child, Prince Chun lost interest in the princess, and she only slept on one of the couples with a quilt.

Princess Chun is no longer greedy for that. Of course she is happy that Prince Chun is pampering her. Prince Chun just sleeps, and Princess Chun doesn't care.

After resting that night, Princess Chun gently pushed her husband's arm: "Prince, I have something I want to discuss with you."

King Chun closed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Princess Chun said in a gentle voice: "Xuan'er is now sixteen this year. I think, after Yilan gets married, should we decide on Xuan'er's marriage?"

King Chun then opened his eyes and glanced at his wife next to him: "Who are you interested in?"

Princess Chun smiled and said, "The wife of Duke Bai Ri praised Xuan'er repeatedly, which was quite like marrying us. She was handsome and was indeed in line with our Xuan'er."

King Chun frowned and said coldly: "I'm confused, Xingzhi and Roujia's childhood sweethearts have been resentful of Roujia's early death for the past year. As a mother, are you willing to let your daughter marry someone who is so infatuated with other women?"

Princess Chun was stunned and couldn't help but say, "This is indeed not appropriate. The one who can be liked by Roujia is not considered an outsider." Didn't the husband love that niece very much? Why is he in a disgusting tone now?

When King Chun heard his wife say this, he smiled angrily, sat up and stared at the woman beside him and said, "Roujia is naturally not an outsider, and this matter has nothing to do with Roujia. What I mind is that Xingzhi does not really like Xuan'er. Since that's the case, why should I betrothed Xuan'er to him? There are so many good men in the capital. Is my daughter still afraid that she can't find a good son-in-law who loves her wholeheartedly?"

He really wanted to be a good father, but Princess Chun only felt that her husband was too shallow in thinking.

For the sake of her daughter's marriage, Princess Chun gritted her teeth and defended her: "After that being said, Roujia has gone after all. She is young and will not be long before she forgets Roujia. She will be pity for the people around her at that time."

King Chun sneered: "My daughter is not so despised as she is waiting for his pity."

After saying that, King Chun lifted the quilt and got out of bed. While dressing, he directly scolded: "I will decide Xuan'er's marriage, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Princess Chun's face changed drastically and she said in panic: "It's dark, where are the princesses?"

Let my daughter put her aside in advance. If King Chun leaves her yard overnight tonight, if it is spread, where will she put her face?

In a turbulent autumn, although King Chun was tired of this princess, he did not want any rumors to enter the palace, so he walked out and said lightly: "I will sleep for the next few days."

Princess Chun was relieved after hearing this.

As for the daughter's marriage...

Princess Chun felt a bitter heart. The prince always said that since the prince was dissatisfied with Xie Jin, the marriage would definitely not be done. She dared to go against the prince's wishes...

Thinking of King Chun's anger, Princess Chun couldn't even imagine the situation.

The daughter is important, but her status with her son is even more important.

Therefore, Princess Chun had no choice but to call her daughter to persuade her to calm down this morning.

When Zhou Xuan learned about her father's attitude, she immediately cried into tears.

.

Xu Roujia didn't know that Princess Chun and her daughter's plan to marry the Xie family was frustrated. On the evening of the Lantern Festival, she happily followed her uncle to the palace to enjoy the lanterns.

Of course, there were Princess Chun, Concubine Yao, Zhou Yu, Zhou Xuan and others who were accompanying him.

Including her, there were four girls in the Chun Palace, who were riding in two carriages. Because Xu Roujia and Zhou Zhi and Zhou Fu were not in harmony, the eldest girl Zhou Xuan took the initiative to invite Xu Roujia to ride with her.

Xu Roujia knew that Zhou Xuan did not really like her, but she still responded with a smile.

After the carriage set off, Zhou Xuan looked at Xu Roujia, who was beautiful beside her, and she whispered: "A Tao, you quarreled with Prince Xie a few days ago. Actually, I shouldn't blame you, but Prince Xie is a guest..."

Xu Roujia immediately said, "I understand, don't worry, my cousin, I'm not angry with you."

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked in confusion: "Looking at how you looked that day, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the prince's gratitude?"

Xu Roujia knew in her previous life that Zhou Xuan liked Xie Jin, so of course she knew what to say at this moment, and pretended to be angry: "Why should he point fingers when I talk to my fourth cousin? It not only taught me a lesson, but also gave me the face of my fourth cousin. I feel disgusted by such an arrogant and rude person no matter what his identity is."

After hearing this, Zhou Xuan was both secretly annoyed that Xu Roujia despised her sweetheart so much, and was also very glad that Xu Roujia had no intention of Xie Jin. Otherwise, once Xu Roujia and Xie Jin were in love, she would really have no chance.

.

The Prince Chun’s Mansion is not far from the palace, and the carriage arrives shortly after it leaves.

Xu Roujia got out of the car after Zhou Xuan.

The couple of King Chun and Concubine Yao walked in front, and Xu Roujia and others accompanied him.

Zhou Zhi's sister deliberately occupied Zhou Xuan's place on the left and right, so that she could be isolated by this method, embarrassing her.

Xu Roujia was happy to be quiet, and while walking slowly, she enjoyed the long-lost night view of the palace. Tonight's Lantern Festival, colorful lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.

Suddenly, a tall and tall figure came to her right.

Xu Roujia raised her head curiously.

Zhou Qi looked at her and whispered: "After the dinner, everyone will enjoy the lanterns separately. You can follow me and don't leave."

Xu Roujia looked surprised.

Seeing Zhou Qi frowning, Xu Roujia reacted and responded happily: "Yes!"

That’s great, this cousin Leng finally wants to protect her as his own person!
