Chapter 511: Once you stamp the seal, you are mine
"I'm talking about the most beautiful one!" the irritable male voice urged impatiently, saying, "The one standing next to Sixth Sister."
Jun Lie frowned, he lowered his head and his gaze fell on Xiao Jiuyue. The pink, most beautiful one, standing next to the Sixth Princess, wasn't that her?
The Second Prince dares to set his sights on Jiuyue?
Jun Lie clenched his hands silently.
"She is the eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquisate, Xiao Jiuyue, Miss Xiao." The woman's voice sounded, and the Second Prince seemed to understand something, muttering to himself, "Xiao Jiuyue, Xiaojiu, has always been by Master Xiao's side. No wonder, no wonder."
"Haha~" The Second Prince happily gave the silver and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise..."
When the second prince's threatening voice sounded, the woman happily accepted the reward, promised not to tell anyone, and turned and left.
"ah……"
A scream was heard, and the woman didn't even have time to shout for help.
"Only the dead can keep secrets best." The second prince sneered, and it was not until the voice had disappeared for a long time that Xiao Jiuyue's stiff body relaxed slightly.
"Don't worry, he will never be able to touch you." Jun Lie held her hand, feeling a little annoyed. He had originally wanted to take her to see the plum blossoms, but who knew... that they would run into such a terrible thing.
"Second Prince, you don't have a wife yet, right?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes. If she were to marry someone like the Second Prince, then... it would be a disaster.
"The Imperial Concubine wants to choose a woman with status, background, and support for the Second Prince. He has several concubines, but the position of principal wife has always been vacant."
Jun Lie increased the strength of his hands, as if this could comfort her. He said, "The Imperial Concubine asked Marshal Yang's daughter, Yang Zhi, to come."
"Yang Zhi did not enter the palace today." Xiao Jiuyue remembered clearly who entered the palace today, and there was no Yang Zhi, the daughter of Marshal Yang.
"Yang Zhi didn't want to enter the palace, so she claimed to be sick two days ago." Jun Lie leaned against the rockery, stroking her soft hands with his big hands. He finally understood what the hands described in the storybook as being as tender as a catkin looked like: soft and tender.
"I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine won't give up." Xiao Jiuyue felt that since the Imperial Concubine could become an Imperial Concubine, she would definitely not give up easily. She said, "If the Second Prince is like a brainless fool and directly begs the Emperor for a marriage, then it will be troublesome!"
Two princes are seeking the same woman. This woman is not honored, but dead.
"Then he won't have a chance to speak." Jun Lie lowered his eyes and asked, "Jiuyue, who do you think is the most annoying among the noble ladies today?"
Xiao Jiuyue did not answer, but looked up at Jun Lie, as if he could understand the meaning of his words.
…
"Next time, I'll accompany you to see the plum blossoms." Jun Lie said with regret. He originally wanted to take her to see the first plum blossoms in full bloom in the entire palace, but who knew that they would encounter the second prince's unlucky thing.
"Didn't you say that you planted a lot of plum blossoms in the new house?" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. After returning to Chengxiang Garden from the rockery, she quickly said, "You should leave quickly. If someone finds you..."
"Jiuyue, you promised to marry me, right?" Before leaving, Jun Lie still looked at Xiao Jiuyue uncertainly.
Xiao Jiuyue had just sat down on the couch when she raised her eyes and looked at the uncertain Jun Lie outside the window. Her lips curled up slightly and she hooked her finger at him.
Jun Lie stepped forward, with most of his body already in the window. He looked at her with his deep eyes, as if waiting for her to speak. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and the moment her soft lips touched his cheek, a tingling sensation he had never experienced before spread throughout his body.
Xiao Jiuyue retreated as quickly as a dragonfly skimming the water, and said with a smile, "Once you stamp it, you're mine."
"Jiuyue." Jun Lie jumped up happily. With his tall stature, he bumped directly into the window frame, and the pain made his facial features squeezed together.
"Be careful, in case you get hit and become stupid, I don't want to marry a fool." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, looking at his happy and silly look, she was very happy.
"Jiuyue, don't worry, your husband is very smart." Jun Lie kept smiling until he left.
Donggui had a lot to say and wanted to ask: How come the master became a fool after staying with the eldest lady for a while?
With the hunting trip tomorrow, everyone lost interest in the archery competition in the inner hall this afternoon.
It wasn't until she left the palace that Xiao Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, the second young master Jiang wants to see you." Dong Gui came to report as soon as he left the palace.
Second Young Master Jiang?
Xiao Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lianxin and asked, "Did this person just get transferred to Shengjing? I don't know him."
No matter what the memory in her head or her own memory told her, she did not recognize the Second Princess Jiang.
"Probably, I don't know him." Lian Xin shook her head and said, "However, the Second Young Master Jiang, Jiang Hua, was transferred to the Dali Temple at such a young age. Everyone says that the Second Young Master Jiang has a bright future!"
"Then go and ask if there is anything wrong." Xiao Jiuyue sent Lianxin away directly. It was better to just send away a man she didn't know.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and soon, Lian Xin came back, looking gossipy and said, "Miss, the second young master Jiang is here to return something."
Lianxin took out a sachet.
Xiao Jiuyue recognized it immediately and said, "Is this Yurong's sachet?"
The sachets of these girls were all made by Zhiyunfang, but the floral decorations and patterns were different. She liked bamboo and plum blossoms, so the sachets were either bamboo or plum blossoms.
Yurong, however, only loves hibiscus flowers.
"Yes, Second Young Master Jiang said he found it at the Great Ci'en Temple, but he never found the chance to return it. Today, he specially... asked the eldest lady to return it." Lian Xin finished speaking, and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Is Second Young Master Jiang interested in the second young lady? But, what is the meaning of returning it through the young lady's hands?"
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the sachet and said, "I'm afraid he wants to tell Yurong that he's interested."
Otherwise, just return it quietly and no one will know about it.
By using her hand, wasn't he just trying to tell her that he was interested in marrying into the Xiao family?
Speaking of which, after Xiao Yurong returned to Shengjing, as the Xiao family's status rose, the threshold for proposing marriage also became higher and higher, but the second young master Jiang's family is the Duke's Mansion!
This is different from the Xiao family who were granted the title of nobility halfway through their career. The Duke's Mansion is full of honors and is made up of veterans of three dynasties. It is truly a noble family with a long history.
"If both parties are willing, it can be a good marriage." Xiao Jiuyue murmured. As the saying goes, look up to marry a daughter, and look down to marry a daughter-in-law. The Xiao family is not too high a target!
"Miss, are you and His Highness about to get married?" Donggui rarely gossiped.
Lianxin glanced at her sideways and said, "Needless to say, it seems to me that our young lady's marriage is coming!" Hua Qing had said before that the eldest lady's wedding was approaching.
