The Marquis of Changxing woke up as if from a dream, and stood up quickly, with his hands trembling slightly, he took the imperial edict with a dragon and a phoenix painted on it. When the heavy imperial edict was placed in the hands of the Marquis of Changxing, he felt the weight in his hands and finally realized what had happened.

His daughter was going to become the Crown Princess!

The eunuch smiled and nodded to the Marquis of Changxing: "Congratulations, Marquis Changxing, for having a daughter with a rich and noble life."

The atmosphere in the main hall seemed to explode suddenly, and everyone looked at Chu Jinyao in surprise. The clever servants behind him had already surrounded Chu Jinyao with smiles on their faces to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Crown Princess. I knew that the Fifth Lady is a rare talent."

"Fifth Lady..."

Linglong couldn't stop smiling. She came over and held Chu Jinyao's arm, saying loudly, "Congratulations, Miss."

The palace nanny also had a smile on her face. All the servants in Chaoyun Courtyard surrounded Chu Jinyao at this moment. Others quickly made way for her and looked at them with envy.

Chu Jinyao was still a little dizzy. Was she going to marry the Crown Prince? Or the principal wife?

She felt like she was dreaming. No, she wouldn't even dream about these things.

The eunuch avoided the people who were trying to get close to him and walked straight towards Chu Jinyao. Others on the road saw him and quickly made way for him. The eunuch walked to Chu Jinyao without any hindrance, bowed with a smile on his face, and said, "Your servant greets the Crown Princess."

Chu Jinyao was startled. At this moment, she immediately came to her senses from the huge sense of unreality and bowed carefully, "Eunuch, please don't do that. My daughter is not married yet, so I am not worthy of your gift."

"Why not?" The eunuch was smiling, but people could not feel much warmth. "The imperial edict has been announced to the world. Even if the ceremony of conferring the title of princess has not been held yet, you are the Crown Princess for sure. In the future, please take care of me."

Chu Jinyao hurriedly said that she didn't dare. Seeing this, the Marquis of Changxing walked over quickly to greet the eunuch, and asked someone to give thank-you gifts to several eunuchs. The eunuch who delivered the eunuch weighed the weight in his sleeves, and the smile on his face became more real.

The eunuch held up his sleeves and looked at it for a while, then said to Chu Jinyao slowly: "Fifth Miss, this imperial edict was personally requested by His Highness to the Emperor. The Empress was very happy when she heard it. Her Majesty said that it was rare for the Crown Prince to have someone he liked, so she asked me to come here to take a good look at what kind of wonderful person the Crown Princess is, and to tell Her Majesty when she returns."

Even though Chu Jinyao had never been to a place like the palace, she knew that it was not a good thing for an unmarried woman to be liked by someone, even if that was the Crown Prince. Chu Jinyao felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head, and she immediately came to her senses: "Eunuch, you are being polite. How could I be so worthy of being valued by the Emperor and the Empress? I am very honored to be appointed as a concubine, and I am probably relying on the Emperor and the Empress's esteem for me." After saying that, Chu Jinyao bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The eunuch

smiled after seeing this, but Chu Jinyao pushed it to the Emperor's grace, so he couldn't say anything more. The eunuch turned halfway and did the second thing the Empress had ordered: "The Empress has long been looking forward to the Crown Prince getting married so that someone can enter the palace to accompany her and avoid the loneliness of the deep palace. The Empress has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally the Crown Princess has come. The Empress was very happy when she knew about it, and specially sent the most capable maidservant around her to teach the Crown Princess the rules of the palace. In order to prevent the Crown Princess from getting used to the palace in the future."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the two maidservants who had been standing in the back came forward and saluted Chu Jinyao in a serious manner, as if they had no emotions: "Greetings to the Crown Princess."

Chu Jinyao was shocked and hurriedly helped the two maidservants up: "Mammy, there is no need to be like this. I haven't... been officially conferred yet, so I dare not be the Crown Princess. Mammy, you don't have to call me like this in the future."

"Yes, Fifth Miss." The two maids responded neatly and coldly.

Chu Jinyao wanted to sigh again when she saw this scene. What on earth was going on? She hadn't felt the reality of the Crown Princess yet, but the Queen's show of power had already arrived. Although pie falling from the sky is a good thing, when the pie is too big and one doesn't have such a big mouth, who can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse?

The people of Changxing Marquis's Mansion left in a hurry. In the prefect's mansion, some of the guests were surprised, some were curious, and some were indifferent.

The Princess of the County was the indifferent one. She glanced coldly at Zhao's back and asked casually, "Why is she in such a hurry to go back? How rude."

"I don't know." Another lady said, "Maybe there is something urgent at home. I just vaguely heard that it seemed that their old lady said that someone from the capital came to the house."

The Princess nodded and was too lazy to care about this topic anymore. The ladies around saw the Princess's expression and knew that she didn't like to hear about the Chu family, so they didn't mention it anymore. After

a while, a maid came over and whispered in the Princess's ear. The Princess's face became visibly gloomy. The maid said that the prince went to the garden, and it seemed that Chu Jinyao was there too. The princess was furious. If Zhao was here, she would have said something to Zhao. But Zhao had just left, so the princess could only scold angrily, "No rules!"

What no rules? The ladies pretended not to hear and continued to talk and laugh, discussing jewelry and children. Before they could digest the happiness in their hearts, a maid from the prefect's family stumbled over, bowed hastily, and shouted to the prefect's wife, "Madam, it's a big deal!"

"What's wrong?" The prefect's wife was confused.

"Someone just sent a message saying that the eunuch in the capital went to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion to read the imperial edict, which conferred the title of Crown Princess to the Fifth Lady of the Changxing Marquis' Mansion!"

"What!"

It was like a thunderbolt exploding in the flat ground. Not only the wife of the prefect, but also the other wives seemed to be scalded and screamed out in surprise. The face of the Princess of the County was particularly ugly. She angrily and firmly scolded: "Impossible, you are not afraid of spraining your tongue by spreading such rumors."

"It's true, the Changxing Marquis' Mansion has already set off firecrackers on the street."

The Princess of the County was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a chill surged in her heart. The other ladies could not sit still, and sent capable people out to inquire about the news.

The people who spied on the news came back one after another, and all brought back the same answer. The news that the Fifth Lady of the Changxing Marquis' Mansion was conferred as the Crown Prince's principal wife also spread like wildfire, from the officialdom to the market.

The Princess of the County hurriedly took the County Lord home, and sent someone to the capital to question her overnight. It was clearly agreed that it was the County Lord, so how did it become Chu Jinyao? Did she remember the wrong person?

The capital had already been in an uproar over this news for a long time. Many daughters of high-ranking families had been eyeing the Crown Prince for so many years, but in the end, the Crown Prince's wife turned out to be someone they had never heard of, and even a lady from another place? It was said that this Crown Princess was the legitimate daughter of a marquis family. Although she was qualified to be the Crown Princess in terms of status, how many noble ladies of the right age were there in the capital? Why was it her?

The Princess of the County personally sent her confidant to the capital, and after the confidant made a round and brought back the latest news, the Princess of the County suddenly fell into the chair. It's over. They swore solemnly that the Crown Princess was in their pockets, and everyone treated Lin Baozhu as the future Crown Princess. But in the end, the real Crown Princess turned out to be someone else?

Why did it have to be Chu Jinyao when there were so many other people! They had previously rejected the marriage with Chu Jinyao, and even wanted to take Chu Jinyao as a concubine, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Jinyao became the Crown Princess?

The Princess refused to accept this reversal, and the Lord of the County cried day and night, with porcelain vases scattered all over the floor. Chu Jinyao was originally the Lord of the County's companion, and the Lord of the County vowed to become the Empress, and boasted in front of many ladies and sisters, and made a lot of promises. In the end, Chu Jinyao, who she had never looked down upon before, became the one who overwhelmed her.

The old princess became much more haggard overnight, and she didn't want to see this result. But the matter was done, the imperial edict had been issued, how could it be reversed? Thinking of this, the old princess secretly hated that those people had accepted the things from the Huailing Lord of the County's Mansion before, and promised with all their words, but in the end things changed, and the old princess didn't believe that the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion had not received the news. It's hateful that these people swallowed the money and didn't spit out the bones. When they saw that things didn't work out, let alone giving their family an explanation, they didn't even send a message back. At least let them be prepared!

However, the other party is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, what can the old princess do to them. The old princess was so angry that she felt dizzy and couldn't get out of bed for several days. But someone has to come out to clean up this situation. The princess at home was throwing things around all day long, and the county lord was even crazier. No matter who went to persuade him, he would be scolded. Chuzhu was even more arrogant, complaining to the old princess every day, saying that if she had done what she said earlier, this and that should have happened... The old princess was so angry at these people that she became more and more ill. In the end, she could only force herself to send a heavy gift to the Changxing Marquis Mansion. What her intention was was self-evident.

However, the situation has changed. Today, the Changxing Marquis's Mansion is full of guests and carriages. When Mrs. Chu heard from the doorman that the Huailing County Prince's Mansion had sent a gift, she sneered and didn't even bother to look at it. She just had it piled up in the warehouse.

It turned out that the old princess was so arrogant in front of Mrs. Chu. Now, the crown princess that their family had been dreaming about fell on her granddaughter. Mrs. Chu has been laughing in her dreams for several days. She was so happy. Chu Jinyao robbed the county lord of the position of crown princess and slapped the other party in the face. Mrs. Chu was so happy that she couldn't say it.

As for whether it is fair or not to rob other people's things... Mrs. Chu thought, no wonder those concubines liked to rob her things so much in the past. Sure enough, it was comfortable to rob her things. In fact, how can it be considered snatching? The Crown Prince is willing to make their Chu Jinyao his principal wife, and he doesn't even bother to look at the county lord of the Prince's Mansion. Who can be blamed for this? The

whole Chu family is so happy, but in a few courtyards, there is a sharp contrast and it is very depressing.

Chu Jinmiao is scared and angry. Since the imperial edict was delivered, she has been very irritable and would arrest people and beat them up at any time. No one has dared to get close to Chu Jinmiao in the past few days. Chu Jinmiao was so angry that she cried. Why is it like this? If Chu Jinyao hadn't come back, wouldn't she be the one who was named the Crown Princess! She, Chu Jinmiao, was originally the second legitimate daughter of Marquis Changxing.

Chu Jinmiao couldn't stop thinking, why didn't Chu Jinyao die in the Su family? If she was taken away by mistake, why did Chu Jinyao come back? Since Chu Jinyao came back, she lost her position as the legitimate daughter, her status and position, and now, Chu Jinyao wants to seize her position as the Crown Princess!

In another courtyard, the maid also held her breath and lowered her head, looking at her own girl in fear. Although the Sixth Miss is deep-minded, she loves to pretend to be weak and harmless, and never writes her emotions on her face like this.

However, today, the Sixth Miss's face was frighteningly gloomy. She stared at a certain place lifelessly, and the brutality in her eyes could almost paralyze a living person.

The Sixth Miss waved her hand violently and pushed the teacup at hand to the ground. She couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled, her voice was like crying blood: "I am the fifth girl! Why did she take my name and take all the good things for herself!"

Long before Chu Jinyao came back, the sixth girl had been the fifth girl of Changxing Marquis's Mansion for thirteen years. After Chu Jinyao was found, the remaining girls were forced to move back, and the sixth girl became the "sixth" girl. When she thought of the content of the imperial edict, "the fifth daughter of the Chu family will be married to the crown prince's wife", she felt like a knife was cutting her heart.

In fact, the fifth girl is her.

Unfortunately, the imperial edict clearly wrote "Chu Jinyao, the fifth daughter of the Chu family". Even if the sixth girl wanted to make a fuss about the ranking, she couldn't do it because of the name. Qin Yi understood the complicated relationship in Changxing Marquis's Mansion too well. He knew that because of the mistake, the Chu family had many loopholes to exploit. Qin Yi simply hit the target in one go and wrote down the ranking, identity, and name to prevent someone from using a scapegoat to hate him. There

were many people in the Marquis' Mansion who were madly excited, resentful, and secretly harboring evil intentions. However, no matter how lively the outside world was, it had little to do with Chu Jinyao, because she no longer had time to pay attention to what was happening outside.

With a "snap" sound, the cane hit Chu Jinyao. A skinny and rigid nanny said expressionlessly: "Girl, you are the future Crown Princess. There must be no mistakes in your appearance and demeanor. We are here to discipline you on the orders of the Empress. This is for your own good, do you know that?"

"I know." Chu Jinyao frowned in pain. She endured it without making a sound. Her face was pale and she said, "Mammy, please continue."

The nanny nodded with satisfaction. She said, "It's good that Fifth Miss understands. Your current posture is just right. Please, Fifth Miss, keep this posture for a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour! Linglong and Dingxiang almost jumped up when they heard this. Maintaining a half-bent posture for a quarter of an hour, was this teaching etiquette or intentional torture? But these two were the Empress's people, and now even Madam Chu didn't dare to say anything, let alone these maids. Linglong was angry but dared not speak, she lowered her head and said nothing, fearing that she would say something wrong and cause trouble for Chu Jinyao.

Linglong finally sobered up from the ecstasy of becoming the Crown Princess, and she slowly realized what kind of world Chu Jinyao was about to face.

How could Chu Jinyao not know that this was the Empress's warning to her, her physique was already very good among the ladies in the imperial court, but even so, after half a minute, Chu Jinyao's legs and feet were shaking, and her waist was aching. She shook very slightly, and the nanny was sharp-eyed, and the cane immediately hit Chu Jinyao without any hesitation.

"Hold still, don't shake." Another tall and thin nanny with a mean face said sharply, "If you go to the palace to see the nobles, will you also shake like this? If the nobles above don't let you stand up, you must stay still. The slightest movement is disrespectful! Our queen is easy to talk to and can't bear to punish the young, but if you are so negligent in seeing the emperor, it will be a disgrace to the Crown Princess."

Disgrace to the Crown Princess can be serious or minor. In serious cases, you will lose your job, and in minor cases, you will be punished with caning. But these are said to the officials in the court. For her, the future Crown Princess, who has no foundation, let alone disgrace to the Crown Princess, she will be in trouble if there is a slight disturbance.

The cane was extremely painful when it hit the body. It hurt under the skin, but it did not leave any marks on the skin. It was really a cruel punishment. Chu Jinyao felt the pain, but he endured it without making a sound. He supported his aching body and kept greeting without saying a word.

The nanny found an excuse to hit Chu Jinyao with the cane several times, each one more severe than the last. Chu Jinyao gritted his teeth and held on for a quarter of an hour. When the time was up, Chu Jinyao was shaking all over and could hardly stand. Nanny Gong saw the opportunity and pulled the two maids out. Linglong and the others came over to support Chu Jinyao and said distressedly, "Miss, are you okay? Why don't we talk to the maid and rest for a while before practicing again?"

Chu Jinyao's face was pale, and her hair was wet with cold sweat, and strands of it stuck to her temples. Chu Jinyao was supported by Linglong and finally had a chance to catch her breath. She took a few deep breaths and finally said, "I'm fine. I've rested enough, let's continue practicing."

"Miss!" Several maids were distressed and couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Even the honest Dingxiang said, "Miss, they are obviously deliberately making things difficult for you and tormenting you."

"What else can we do?" Chu Jinyao whispered, "As long as they are determined, even if we avoid this time, we can't escape the next time. It's better to be more tactful and get beaten less."

Platycodon stamped her feet in anger: "When has the young lady been bullied like this? She was beaten so hard, it hurts me just looking at it. They are obviously looking for trouble and deliberately hitting the young lady."

"Planthodon, don't slander the maid in Lai Palace." Chu Jinyao looked at Platycodon sternly, "If you keep talking nonsense like this, I can't protect you."

Platycodon shut up angrily, but her expression was still unconvinced. Linglong sighed. The young lady was given to marry the prince. This was a good thing but also a danger, because it meant that the young lady's family could not give her any help. Maybe in front of those nobles in the palace, Changxing Marquis Mansion can't even say a word.

Fortunately, the two maids were pulled out for tea, and Chu Jinyao took the opportunity to rest for a while, and whispered some words to Linglong and others. Before Chu Jinyao finished speaking, the two maids came back: "Fifth Miss, have you rested well?"

Chu Jinyao could only swallow the words in her mouth and said, "I'm fine."

In just a few days, Chu Jinyao lost weight rapidly, so obviously that when she went to pay her respects to Old Madam Chu, everyone in the room was amazed when they saw her: "Fifth Miss, how come you have lost so much weight!"

Chu Jinyao bowed her head and said nothing. When everyone saw the maid behind Chu Jinyao, they naturally understood.

Old Madam Chu was very moved when she saw this. She had vaguely heard that the relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince was not good, but she did not expect it to be so bad. The Crown Prince is a descendant of the royal family and the foundation of the country. The Queen could not take action against the Crown Prince, so she took out her anger on the Crown Princess. If her family was stronger, the Queen would still be cautious, but Chu Jinyao was not in the capital, and she was not the daughter of a powerful family. She could not be manipulated by the Queen. And this was just the beginning. The Queen would be Chu Jinyao's mother-in-law in the future. The rules in the palace were so strict, and the Queen was favored. I am afraid that she would suffer a lot in the future.

Others were jealous of Chu Jinyao for getting such a good thing for nothing, but now seeing Chu Jinyao's appearance and thinking about Chu Jinyao's future life, they couldn't help but sigh that it seemed that this good marriage was not easy to enjoy.

Old Madam Chu wanted to keep Chu Jinyao for a while, at least to let her take a chance to relax. Thinking of this, Old Madam Chu simply said slowly: "Fifth Miss, the prefect will hold a banquet in a few days to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The prefect's wife has also sent an invitation to our family. You should prepare well in the next few days, so as not to lose face when the time comes."

Old Madam Chu wanted Chu Jinyao to dress up and attend the banquet to stun the eyes of those people in the past. They dared to pick on Chu Jinyao. Now that she has become the Crown Princess, even if ten of their families were stacked together, they would not be able to marry her. Among them, Old Madam Chu especially wanted to show off in front of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion.

It was really proud and gratifying. Originally, she planned to be a good relative of the Lin family, but the Lin family was shameless and wanted Chu Jinyao to be a concubine. Haha, now Old Madam Chu is really grateful to the Huailing County Prince's Mansion for not marrying her.

However, Mrs. Chu had calculated well. Before Chu Jinyao could say anything, the two maids behind her answered on her behalf: "No. Engaged couples are not allowed to meet before marriage. Since the Crown Prince is going, the Fifth Lady cannot go."

This sentence blocked Mrs. Chu's way out. Chu Jinyao said quickly: "Don't worry, I'm already engaged, so I shouldn't go out. Grandmother and mother can take the other sisters to visit this time."

Mrs. Chu sighed in her heart and had to agree. Mrs. Chu winked at Aunt Gu, who understood and enthusiastically took the two maids out to eat fruit and drink tea. The two could not refuse, so they left with Aunt Gu.

When only the Chu family members were left in the room, Madam Chu continued, "I didn't expect that you would be engaged to the royal family in the end. You are so lucky. If I had arranged a marriage for you before, wouldn't it be a waste of time? You are already engaged to the prince, who is four years older than you and is at the age where he should consider having an heir. I'm afraid the wedding will be in the next two years. In this case, our family must prepare. You have two older sisters, who are girls, so it's easy to get engaged. But your second brother is a bit troublesome."

There is an order of seniority, and the younger sisters cannot get married until the eldest brothers and sisters are married. The prince is older than Chu Jinyao, so the wedding date is more urgent, so Madam Chu has to marry off Chu Jinyao's older sisters as soon as possible. As for Chu Jinyao's legitimate brother, the second young master, his marriage is even more important. The second young master is not only the heir of the Marquis's mansion, but will also be the elder brother of the Crown Princess and the eldest brother-in-law of the Crown Prince in the future. His wife cannot be careless. Chu Jinyao did not interrupt

when it came to the marriage of her elder sister and brother. She said, "Grandmother will arrange it."

Old Madam Chu was quite satisfied with this answer. As expected, Chu Jinyao was a clear-headed person. She did not act arrogantly even after being named the Crown Princess. Old Madam Chu suddenly changed the subject and talked about another thing: "Fifth Miss, do you remember the girl from the Duan family who wore a bright red sleeve and a scarlet skirt, had a square face, and was a little tall when you went to the prefect's house two days ago?"

Chu Jinyao thought about Old Madam Chu's description and soon remembered this person. Chu Jinyao certainly remembered her. When the county lord was unreasonable, it was this girl who first came out to speak for justice. Chu Jinyao thought to herself, so her last name is Duan.

"I know. Grandmother, what's wrong?"

"She is the daughter of the governor's family, her name is Duan Yinghua. I heard that she is a good housekeeper and has been helping with housework since she was twelve years old. If it were the past, we would not even dare to think about the daughter of the governor's family, but now your status is completely different, and you should also have a sister-in-law who can manage the house. What do you think, how about marrying her to your second brother?"

It turned out that she was the daughter of the governor's family, no wonder she dared to talk about the county lord to his face. Chu Jinyao had a good impression of Duan Yinghua. Hearing that this righteous girl was so capable, she was really ashamed. If Duan Yinghua could become her sister-in-law, Chu Jinyao would of course be happy to see it happen, but after all, it was to marry a wife for the second young master, so what was the use of her willingness or not.

Chu Jinyao said, "I also like Sister Duan Yinghua, but it is my second brother who is asking for marriage, so I should ask him what he thinks."

Seeing that Chu Jinyao agreed, Old Lady Chu smiled and nodded, but she didn't care much about what Chu Jinyao said. Chu Jinyao is now the Crown Princess, and even Old Lady Chu dare not ignore her anymore. The Second Young Master is Chu Jinyao's legitimate brother and will be the heir to the Marquis' Mansion in the future. When the Second Young Master marries, Old Lady Chu dare not bypass Chu Jinyao no matter what. Hearing that Chu Jinyao agreed, Old Lady Chu was relieved. She also liked Miss Duan, and as for the Second Young Master's wishes, Old Lady Chu didn't care at all.

After hearing that Old Madam Chu asked Chu Jinyao, Zhao confirmed the second young master's legitimate wife in her words without asking her mother's opinion at all. Zhao felt bitter. Her mother-in-law bypassed her and asked her daughter's opinion instead. It was obvious that she didn't take her, the marquis' wife, seriously at all. This made Zhao wonder if her years in the marquis' mansion had been a joke.

After the old lady finished talking about Duan Yinghua, she felt relieved. Old Madam Chu originally wanted to ask Chu Jinyao how she wanted to deal with Chu Jinmiao, but Old Madam Chu looked at Zhao who was sitting on the side and didn't say anything out of consideration for Zhao's face.

Even if Old Madam Chu asked, what could Chu Jinyao say in front of Mrs. Zhao? No matter how severe the punishment was, it would cause a rift between Chu Jinyao and Mrs. Zhao. It would be better not to mention it and let Old Madam Chu decide for herself.

Old Madam Chu had a plan in mind. Seeing that the time was almost up, she did not dare to keep Chu Jinyao any longer, lest the two maids of the Empress Dowager complain about Chu Jinyao. So she said to Chu Jinyao: "We have talked about the important things. You should go back and do your work. I will not keep you any longer. We will go to the prefecture as a guest in a few days. Although you cannot go, it is a blessing. Don't be unhappy, and don't blame the two maids."

"I understand." Chu Jinyao replied.

A few days later, the prefecture held a grand welcoming banquet for Qin Yi. Ladies and young ladies from all over the city came out together, wanting to see this legendary figure who was named the Crown Princess. But when they arrived at the banquet, they only saw a few young ladies from the Changxing Marquis's Mansion dressed up, but not the future Crown Princess. When everyone asked, they found out that the fifth lady had learned the rules from the maids in the palace, and would not attend too many banquets before she married the prince.

The ladies sighed, and they didn't know whether they were jealous or pitying. Marrying into the royal family is indeed hard, but they are willing to endure these hardships. It

is still a blessing to say the least, because others have the heart but not the fate.

The focus of the conversation at the banquet was naturally Chu Jinyao, the future crown princess. When the ladies talked about her, they always mentioned the county lord with a smile. Now the Huailing County Prince's Mansion naturally has no face to go out, and even Lin Baozhu has inevitably become a joke among her peers.

Qin Yi was originally impatient to attend the banquet. He came to Shanxi to hand over the military power and then he would return to the capital. Things in the military camp cannot wait for a moment, but Qin Yi still waited patiently in Taiyuan, and now he even attended the welcoming banquet of the prefect with great dignity. Qin Yi watched for a while at the banquet, his face became colder and colder, and finally he called Xiao Linzi over unkindly: "She didn't come?"

Xiao Linzi didn't know what expression to make after hearing this. He looked at Qin Yi's face and said carefully: "Prince, engaged couples are not allowed to meet before marriage, have you forgotten?"

Qin Yi frowned and said nothing, and Xiao Linzi knew that Qin Yi had indeed forgotten. No wonder everyone was urging, but the prince still stayed patiently for so long, it turned out that the reason was here.
