NFBE Chapter 263 Worry
Chapter 263 Worry
Xie Guimo said goodbye to them and took Shen Tang away.
Looking at the two of them walking away hand in hand, Xiao Xun smiled and said, "They really make others envious."
"I have a wife, I don't envy her."
Isn’t it just holding your wife’s hand?
As Chu Yi spoke, he grabbed Yun Yi's hand, then looked at Xiao Xun as if he was looking at a single man, and also glanced at Lu Li who was standing next to Xiao Xun.
Lu Li, “…”
He didn't say anything. Can you please not drag him into this when you're bullying single guys?
Chu Yi held his head high and took Yun Yi away. He looked like he wanted to be beaten, as if to say "I have a wife". Xiao Xun had to try hard to suppress the urge to beat him up.
Isn’t she just a daughter-in-law?
Ok.
He really didn't.
But it’s not like he can’t get married, so why is he showing off like that?
Xiao Xun looked in the direction of where Zhao Xi was standing, and she happened to look back. Their eyes met, and Zhao Xi quickly looked away. "It's time for me to go home, too. I'll be going back first."
Without waiting for anyone's response, she left with somewhat messy steps.
Xiao Xun's lips curled up in a happy arc.
As for Shen Tang, her hand was held tightly by Xie Guimo and she couldn't break free. Although it was not the first time, she still felt that the thickness of her skin was increasing. This bastard was definitely trying to make her skin as thick as his.
There were many people outside the door, and when I went out, the carriage had not arrived yet. I waited for a while before the servant drove the carriage over.
Xie Guimo came on horseback. Well, ever since that day when Shen Tang got drunk and was bullied by him in the carriage, she no longer allowed him to enter her carriage.
Therefore, Xie Guimo rode a horse every time he went out of the house.
Shen Tang tried to prevent him from getting on the carriage, but failed to stop him. He followed him in. Shen Tang whispered, "You ride back on horseback."
Xie Guimo said, "I drank too much and the wind gave me a headache."
Shen Tang was a little skeptical, "Where are the others?"
After Xie Guimo sat down, he hugged Shen Tang and asked, "You don't care about your husband, but you care about others?"
Shen Tang, "..."
Is she caring about others?
She was contradicting him, okay?
Although she had never ridden a horse while drunk, she had never heard that riding a horse while drunk would give you a headache. Knowing that drinking too much was not good, why did she drink so much?
Shen Tang wanted to retort, but Xie Guimo buried his head in her neck and said, "I only hold you, I don't do anything else."
This bastard!
How dare he bring this up!
The worst thing was that in the carriage, she couldn't even hear these words, and her body unconsciously went limp. Xie Guimo, who was holding her, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Shen Tang.
He bit Shen Tang's earlobe and laughed, "It seems you like it very much..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Tang covered his mouth and he couldn't utter another word.
Shen Tang threatened Xie Guimo with her glare, but Xie Guimo let her cover his mouth. Shen Tang changed the subject and asked, "Does Prince Duan like Miss Zhao from the Minister of Works' residence?"
Xie Guimo asked, "Why do you say that?"
Shen Tang said, "On the day when I delivered the dowry to Princess Roujia, I passed by the Minister of Works' residence. My maid and I saw Prince Duan climb over the wall and enter the residence. I also noticed Xiao Xun peeking at Miss Zhao..."
Shen Tang felt that Xiao Xun and Zhao Xi were a perfect match.
Xiao Xun and Xie Guimo are good brothers. More importantly, Xiao Xun is also the brother of her elder sister-in-law, Princess Roujia. Living a new life, Shen Tang not only hopes to live a happy life, but also hopes that everyone around him can live in harmony.
In her previous life, Zhao Xi married the prince of Duke Du. She and Xie Guimo even went to Duke Du's mansion to attend the wedding banquet, which was two months later. Now, Zhao Xi has not yet been engaged, and the marriage may be settled at any time.
Zhao Xi and the Prince of Duguo were a perfect match. Shen Tang had no idea how she lived after she got married in her previous life. After all, her own life was a mess, so how could she have the leisure to care about others? She and Zhao Xi did not have much contact in her previous life, but she knew that before Zhao Xi gave birth to a legitimate son, the Prince of Duguo had two illegitimate sons. Just for this reason, Shen Tang had no good feelings towards the Prince of Duguo.
Shen Tang looked at Xie Guimo and said, "If Xiao Xun is interested, let him come and propose marriage as soon as possible. If he's late, someone else might get there first."
Although the engagement can be cancelled, it will always cause a lot of trouble and damage Zhao Li's reputation. It is better to get engaged directly without any further twists and turns. If the engagement cannot be cancelled once it is decided, it will be a lifelong regret.
Shen Tang felt that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.
Shen Tang, "..."
Xie Guimo pinched Shen Tang's nose and said, "Okay, I will remind Xiao Xun."
The carriage rolled forward towards the Jingyang Prince's Palace, while the Marquis of Changping rode back to his palace with a very unhappy look on his face.
He had only one son, the Prince of Changping. After trying so hard for so many years and having more than ten concubines in the inner house, he still couldn't have another child. He only had one son, but he had affairs with other women and ruined his body. He could have had two grandchildren, but one was lost. The other was like a sword hanging over his head.
Marquis Pingyuan had no children for so many years, but now he has two sons. Not only does this mean that there is an heir to the title, but he can also force Prince Ning to hand over the title to him. Comparing himself with others makes one angry.
When he thought about the fact that the second young master of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was the demoted third young master of Qianzhou Lu Xuanfushi's Mansion, the Marquis of Changping's face became even more drawn out like a horse's.
Returning to the Marquis of Changping's residence, he stepped inside and told the steward, "Send Xu Shuncheng to see me!"
……
When Shen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to Chenxiangxuan, Mother Zhou came to greet them, stopped Ginkgo and Qiutong, and asked about the wedding banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion. Since Prince Ning's Mansion was holding a wedding, all the civil and military officials would go to congratulate, so it was not convenient for too many people to go. Mother Zhou wanted to watch Xiao Huan get married, but she held back.
Ginkgo and Qiutong chattered away, and Mother Zhou was happy for Jiang, who was in the afterlife. She then asked, "Did the emperor go to Prince Ning's mansion for the wedding banquet?"
Ginkgo shook his head.
Mother Zhou was a little disappointed, "I thought the emperor would go..."
If Mother Zhou hadn't asked, Shen Tang would not have reacted. She actually thought that the emperor would go to Prince Ning's Mansion for the wedding banquet, because today she found out that the third young master of the Lu family was her second brother, and her heart was filled with joy. She didn't realize at all that the emperor didn't go to Prince Ning's Mansion for the wedding banquet.
Old Prince Ning is the Emperor's biological uncle. Old Prince Ning adopted Princess Roujia, who is expected to be Roujia's husband and inherit the title. With such a great honor bestowed upon him, he should have gone to Prince Ning's Mansion to attend the wedding banquet.
If the emperor could go to Prince Ning's mansion to attend the wedding, her elder brother, Prince Ning's position as Crown Prince would be more secure, and no one would dare to say a word of complaint.
However, the emperor rarely went out of the palace to attend weddings. It would be a surprise if he went, and there would be no regret if he didn't go.
Shen Tang didn't take this matter to heart, but before he finished his cup of tea, Shen Tang knew why the emperor didn't go to Prince Ning's mansion for the wedding. The emperor didn't go because he was stopped by someone.
It was none other than the Emperor who stopped him.
It’s Concubine Ye!
