Chapter 24 The Second Dream "Youyi, go and follow the Prince Consort's wish,...
Chapter 24
Ye Changning was stared at by Lin Zhiyi's peach blossom eyes. He was stunned for a moment before lowering his eyes and replied, "Because this is my duty."
Is it simply for fairness and justice?
Lin Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, accepting his answer. She raised her glass and said, "Then Lord Ye is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is an upright and righteous man and a blessing to the people. I toast Lord Ye again."
The meal can finally begin.
Ye Changning changed the subject to something lighter and asked, "How are the preparations for the marriage between the Prince Consort and the Princess going?"
What he was thinking in his heart was - does the young marquis really intend to go on like this and marry the princess?
Lin Zhiyi smiled brightly: "We're still in preparation, it should be...almost done."
Of course, the main things are still handled by the Marquis and his wife. Lin Zhiyi will focus on recuperation in the near future, supplemented by correspondence with the princess. The rest is to get to know each family member better and prepare for returning to school.
Ye Changning tried again: "Does the prince consort like the princess?"
Lin Zhiyi blinked and asked, "Why, Master Ye also admires the princess?"
Ye Changning quickly denied, "Of course not. I'm just curious if the Prince Consort is afraid of Princess Shang because of the accidents that happened to the previous two Prince Consorts."
Lin Zhiyi: "If I'm afraid, will Lord Ye be able to teach me how to disobey the order without being punished?"
Ye Changning: “…”
This... is a little difficult to teach.
Disobeying the order is a serious crime.
Seeing his frown and serious expression, Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but curl her peach blossom eyes. "It was just a joke. I think the princess is very good. It's my blessing to marry her. I'm very happy. If I have any fear, it's that I might not be the one the princess has in mind and disappoint her. But I will try my best."
When Ye Changning heard this, he was certain that Lin Zhiyi would definitely marry the princess.
Whether 'he' is a man or a woman is no longer important.
And it has nothing to do with him.
After Ye Changning confirmed it, he no longer stayed here to accompany Lin Zhiyi for dinner. He stood up and said goodbye, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I have official business to attend to, so I will not be dining with you. You can tell me what you like to eat, I have already arranged it."
Lin Zhiyi was surprised: Leaving now?
But she changed her mind and felt that maybe Ye Changning didn't want others to know that they had eaten together.
Otherwise, if Cheng Lunian broke her leg immediately afterwards, and others knew that she had dinner with Ye Changning, wouldn't it be easy to associate it with her?
"Okay, Lord Ye, take care." She stood up and saw Ye Changning off.
Ye Changning stopped at the door and suddenly turned his head to Zhou Mingyan and said, "Young Master Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Mingyan: "Hehe... Lord Ye, you found me." Ye Changning: "Please accompany the young marquis for dinner." He didn't notice Lin Zhiqi who was also mixed in with the guards. He bowed to Lin Zhiyi again and then left.
Zhou Mingyan looked at Lin Zhiyi. Lin Zhiyi shrugged at him, smiled, and pulled Lin Zhiqi in. The three of them had the meal together.
Yuichi, who was secretly following, recorded everything silently.
That night, he left his deputy You Qi in the Marquis' Mansion and took the initiative to return to the palace to report today's situation to the princess.
Jing Yue was also a little surprised. He played with the Yuanbao puppet in his hand and asked uncertainly, "Did Ye Changning really say that?"
"Yes."
"He cares so much about this matter..." Jing Yue was somewhat puzzled.
Youyi boldly repeated Lin Zhiyi's words: "The Prince Consort guessed that Lord Ye also admired the princess very much, so he was willing to help protect the princess's happiness."
Jing Yue: “…”
That's not necessary.
He didn't want Ye Changning's admiration.
"Youyi, go and follow the prince consort's wishes and get this done. Don't let Ye Changning's men do it." Jing Yue ordered.
So as to avoid being exposed.
Although Ye Changning promised not to let Cheng Lunian find out that the "broken leg punishment" was Lin Zhiyi's revenge, they met today after all.
How could I not guess it?
Unless... it's really more unexpected than unexpected, it's impossible to associate it with the prince consort.
But the possibility is too small, and Jingyue doesn't want to take the risk.
He decided to let his men do it.
Youyi excitedly accepted the order: "Yes!"
Jing Yue advised: "Do it in a subtle way, don't let him suspect the prince consort, and don't let him suspect Ye Changning. Of course, if you can make him suspect me, that's fine too."
Yuichi: "Princess, don't worry. I will do it perfectly! I won't let him suspect anyone!"
"Yes." Jing Yue gave another instruction, "Move quickly, don't let Ye Changning's men take action first."
"yes!"
After Youyi left, Jingyue was still somewhat shocked - he had not expected that his son-in-law was such a vengeful person.
Even the kind that has a bit of a bad vibe.
On the surface, he appeared calm and composed. As soon as Ye Changning approached him, he went to the appointment and decisively accepted Ye Changning's proposal of "extraordinary measures". He even boldly gave a detailed method to make the other party pay the price, and urged the other party not to sell him out...
Think carefully, be bold and careful, take revenge when there is a grudge, and don't be deliberately hypocritical or soft-hearted.
It coincides with my own philosophy.
He also doesn't like to passively take a beating. If anyone provokes him, he will also seek revenge. It's just that his identity restricts him from being able to truly be himself.
It seems that in the future... Lin Zhiyi and he will share the same ideas on some things.
…
The rain in early summer is still sudden.
It was sunny and windy during the day, but there were lightning and thunder at night, and heavy rain was coming.
Lin Zhiyi curled up in the quilt, raised his hand and tightly grasped the jade pendant around his neck, a little afraid to fall asleep.
She recalled the nightmare she had last time on a rainy night with thunder and lightning. She was afraid that her soul would be banished from this world again, and she would never be able to rest in peace.
If I don’t sleep, I won’t have nightmares, right?
The jade pendant in her palm was indeed getting hotter. She sat up, grabbed the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The red light on the jade pendant was dim, reflecting her face.
On the other side, Jingyue had already fallen into a light sleep.
He did not wear the jade pendant this time, but the brocade box containing the jade pendant was very close - Yao'er had just sorted out the princess's makeup box today, and placed the brocade box containing the jade pendant at the head of Jingyue's bed.
Tomorrow is the day when the Clothing Bureau will take measurements for the princess and her husband. The princess should meet her husband, so... she prepared a jade pendant for the princess in advance.
After all, the princess said that she would only wear it when meeting her husband.
A faint red light overflowed from the gap in the brocade box and gradually wrapped around Jingyue's body. The red light between her eyebrows became brighter.
He frowned slightly, tightened his fingers nervously, and wrinkled the quilt.
Jing Yue felt as if he was being pulled by an unknown force and floated out of the bedroom. When he regained consciousness, he seemed to have arrived in an unfamiliar courtyard.
Jing Yue tried hard to open her eyes and saw the name of the courtyard - Bitong Courtyard.
Where is this?
Soon, Jingyue had the answer.
He was dragged into the room by that strange force, and a figure appeared beside the shadowy bed—was it the prince consort?!
Lin Zhiyi's hair was loose, making her face look even smaller, her skin whiter, and her features more delicate. It was hard to tell whether she was male or female.
Jing Yue was about to speak when the force suddenly increased and pulled him down on Lin Zhiyi. He was almost defenseless and pressed into Lin Zhiyi's shoulders. His whole body... no, or rather his whole soul was trapped in Lin Zhiyi's body!
Jing Yue was shocked: "!!!"
What kind of weird dream is this?!
Last time I dreamt there was a woman who looked like my husband's wife by my bed, and this time I dreamt I was being... unceremonious with my husband?!
Jingyue was confused.
He is not gay!
What a shattered dream!
Wake up quickly... wake up quickly!
He kept muttering to himself, muttering to himself...
Fortunately, soon, a force of elasticity bounced him away, and he woke up suddenly. Only then did he realize that it was indeed a dream, and he was still in his Moon-Lanyue Palace.
Jing Yue glanced at the red light of the brocade box and saw it slowly fade away. She picked it up curiously, opened it, and saw the familiar jade pendant with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns.
Perhaps, those blessed by a master are different?
Can’t we be negligent about the jade pendant?
Jing Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to put the jade pendant back on her neck and decided not to take it off.
On the other side, Lin Zhiyi in Bitong Courtyard also woke up in shock. She clutched the jade pendant in shock, thinking with lingering fear - fortunately, she wore the jade pendant this time, and only felt a nightmare like sleep paralysis, and did not feel the soul leaving her body.
Thank you Master Kongnian.
A jade pendant that has been blessed is different.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Zhiyi did not sleep in any longer, but got up and washed and changed his clothes.
After she finished dressing, Lin Shuo's butler came over and said, "Young Marquis, the Marquis said he would go to the palace to meet the emperor and the princess today. Please get ready and then go to Lingxi Hall for dinner."
Lingxi Hall is the main courtyard where the Marquis and his wife live.
Lin Zhiyi thought he was being urged to go to school, but unexpectedly he was being urged to enter the palace.
Hmm... then can I go to school a day later?
Because she was about to enter the palace, she checked herself carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong with her. She also packed the gift she had brought for the princess after dinner and shopping yesterday and took it with her. Finally, she scratched Yuanbao's chin and said, "Wait for me to come back, Yuanbao. I have to go meet your other master."
Lin Zhiyi bowed obediently to Lin Shuo and Mu Hanyan: "Dad, Mom, I wonder why I came to the palace today..."
Why didn't anyone tell him yesterday?
Lin Shuo said, "The princess's decree was just issued this morning, saying that the Imperial Clothing Bureau should prepare the Prince Consort's wedding attire. He should go to the palace today to get measured and tailored."
Lin Zhiyi exclaimed "Ah" and was also surprised.
She originally wanted to design her own wedding dress.
But... I can still design it in the palace, as long as the princess likes it.
Lin Zhiyi quickly smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Let's dine together here."
"Okay. Sorry to bother Mom and Dad." Lin Zhiyi followed the way of getting along in his memory and had breakfast with the Marquis and his wife.
She smiled throughout the whole process and didn't show any sign of nervousness.
This made Lin Shuo, who was nervous, and Mu Hanyan, who was also uneasy, a little confused.
——Yuanyuan isn't worried about her identity being exposed at all?!
Even...looking at her expression, she seems to be looking forward to it?
Could it be that... Yuanyuan has already thought of a way to deal with the princess and the monk princess?
