Prince Jingnan didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
Of course he didn't want to admit that he kept the princess's old things, but Gu Rui said so...
"Can you really find it?" he asked doubtfully.
Gu Rui nodded confidently. He just listened to King Jingnan, but he didn't expect that he would get the upper hand.
Prince Jingnan pondered for a moment, then took out a brocade box from under his pillow, opened it carefully, and took out a yellowed piece of paper from it.
He wanted to give it to Gu Rui, but he retracted his hand and said, "Can you really find it?"
"Yes!" Gu Rui said firmly.
Prince Jingnan was still worried, and warned: "You must not reveal the contents of this letter."
"Yes!" Gu Rui agreed, reached out to take it, without even looking at it, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, then crumpled up the letter and threw it in.
"How could you give it to me?" Prince Jingnan immediately blew his beard and glared.
"I have to find it this way!" Gu Rui said hurriedly.
Prince Jingnan stopped talking.
It was more important to find Chu Ruzhi. As for the letter, he already knew it by heart.
The words on the paper blurred in the teacup, and Gu Rui began his blood-seeking technique.
Of course, it would be very dangerous if the person was found, so he asked someone to report to Chu Younan and asked for a large group of soldiers to accompany him.
It was not difficult to find Chu Ruzhi. No one knew what the other party was busy with, and they only left four people to guard him. The large force quickly rescued Chu Ruzhi and Liuying.
It was only after Gu Rui came back that he realized that he had forgotten the person in the carriage and that person had disappeared.
It went relatively smoothly.
But when Chu Ruzhi asked Gu Rui how he found her, Chu Ruzhi's eyes lit up as soon as Gu Rui told her.
Prince Jingnan actually kept the letter she wrote to him all this time. Does this mean something?
Chu Ruzhi had been waiting for him for more than ten years and could not wait any longer, so he immediately drove to the Jingnan Palace.
However, there was a carriage parked at the gate of Prince Jingnan's Palace, and several girls were coming out of the palace, chatting as they got into the carriage.
"Ningyun, I think your cousin will definitely marry King Jingnan!" Bei Danzhu said loudly in front of everyone.
Ruan Qingyue blushed immediately, "Miss Bei, what are you talking about? We are just here to visit the Princess of Jingnan..."
"Well! Everyone in the capital knows that the Jingnan Palace has become a popular place now. If you can't marry the Prince of Jingnan, then marry the Prince of Jingnan!" Bei Danzhu said nonchalantly.
Chu Ruzhi heard it all. She clenched the curtain tightly with her hands and gritted her teeth.
Bei Danzhu looked over from a distance and had already caught her thoughts. She said calmly, "I heard that the girls who visited the Prince of Jingnan's wife recently are all young and unmarried girls. Don't be too reserved and miss the opportunity. After all, they are all young and beautiful!"
After hearing this, Ruan Qingyue lowered her head and remained silent.
Chu Ruzhi also lowered the curtain.
Yes, they are all young and beautiful girls, so what is she?
Even if she has the title of eldest princess, she has wasted so many years and is now over 30 years old.
Seeing her carriage turn back, Bei Danzhu quietly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
She finally made friends with Ruan Ningyun and got to know Ruan Qingyue by chance. Both of them believed in her and were pawns she could use.
Of course, she wanted to put someone of her own by the side of Prince Jingnan and not let that old woman get the upper hand.
Prince Jingnan's Palace.
Su'er finally sent away another wave of visitors, then heaved a sigh of relief and hurried to the backyard.
She almost vomited from receiving guests every day. Every one of them implied in their words that they wanted to be her and Cheng Shi’s stepmother.
"Which girl do you think is suitable? Why don't you discuss it with your father and decide on her earlier so that they don't have to worry about her." Su'er said, supporting her waist.
Cheng Shi quickly put a pillow under her and covered her with a blanket. "Since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can children be in charge of their parents' marriages?"
"I thought so too, but why do they all come to me to ask about our father's situation? Can I make the decision on his marriage?" Su'er complained in a low voice.
Everything else didn't matter, except that these people kept coming in waves and her waist was aching from sitting there.
Cheng Shi also felt distressed when he saw this.
"How about this, I'll just go ask my father. If he really doesn't plan to look for you, I'll just spread the word so they won't bother you anymore."
Cheng Shi said this and walked out.
For the sake of his wife, he had to talk to his father about this even if it was an offense.
Prince Jingnan still had a gloomy face. When he saw him, he asked, "Has the princess been found? Does the emperor want me to go look for her?"
Cheng Shi scratched his head, "I have to send someone to ask about this. Father, I came here today for something else."
The whereabouts of the eldest princess were unknown, so King Jingnan had no time to care about other things, so he waved his hand and said, "Just do whatever you want! I'm tired!"
After saying that, he lay down very depressed.
Cheng Shi was a little happy.
Let him decide, does this mean giving him the chance to make the decision? Is it that his father wants to remarry but is too embarrassed to say it? "That's fine, I'll make the decision myself!" Cheng Shi walked out happily.
Who said that sons can't ask about their father's marriage? Didn't he do it very smoothly? Back in his own courtyard, Cheng Shi was so happy that he was like a flower blooming, "Su'er! Father said that this matter is up to you!"
Prince Jingnan let him make the decision, and Su'er was in charge of all his affairs, which meant that Prince Jingnan's marriage was entirely left to Su'er.
When Su'er heard this, she felt happy and sad at the same time.
What makes me happy is that I don’t have to receive so many visitors anymore. What makes me sad is that among so many girls, I don’t know which one to choose.
She had to go to the palace to discuss this matter with Su Bei.
She hurriedly prepared the carriage and entered the palace.
Su Bei was in a good mood today. The eldest princess came back and she had time to chat with her close friends again.
She prepared snacks and sour plum soup.
It just so happened that both of them were pregnant, and sour plum soup was suitable for both of them.
Su Er said that she wanted to discuss the marriage of King Jingnan with her. Su Bei was a little surprised, "Does it count if we discuss his marriage?"
"Of course! The prince said that King Jingnan told him to do whatever he wants."
"Let's see what happens?" Su Bei was a little puzzled.
It seems that Chu Ruzhi has not given up on King Jingnan, but King Jingnan has been injured for so long, and she has not expressed anything. Chu Ruzhi disappeared, and King Jingnan did not seem to express anything either.
The only thing that made her feel that there was a chance for the two of them was that Prince Jingnan still had Chu Ruzhi's blood letter.
However, Prince Jingnan said that his marriage should be handled by Cheng Shi.
With such a casual attitude, it doesn't seem like he is interested in the eldest princess.
Su Er didn't know so much, and added: "I think Ruan Qingyue from the second branch of the Ruan family is pretty good. She looks like a lady from a noble family, and she is not ostentatious."
"So what do you think of the eldest princess?" Su Bei asked tentatively.
"The eldest princess?" Su'er looked embarrassed. "Isn't she a monk? Talking about marriage with her, isn't that a bit blasphemous?"
Yes, although Chu Ruzhi moved back to the princess's mansion, he had neither shaved his head nor returned to secular life. How could he talk about marriage? Su Bei rolled his eyes and said, "Let's test the two of them."
