Chapter 25 Chapter 25



As expected, Gu Jinke encountered Xin Shuang's nagging when she returned home. She had to promise that she would bring a bottle of golden wound medicine with her when she went to the palace in the future in case of emergency.

Sang Yi pursed his lips and looked serious, but Gu Jinke could already see the uncontrollable smile in his eyes.

Gu Jinke glanced at him lightly.

Sang Yi quickly lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes.

He still prefers His Highness as he is now, rather than the one who was sitting in the carriage, holding a fine porcelain bottle and lost in memories with others.

That was... a past without his involvement.

After talking about trivial matters, it was time to get back to business. Gu Jinke leaned back on the couch and listened to Xin Shuang's words: "The person that the palace sent out to find someone whose birth date and horoscope match that of the fifth princess has been found."

Found it? Gu Jinke sat up and asked, "Who is it?"

In the original book, the fifth princess is a romantic figure, surrounded by many husbands and servants, and she has a particular preference for petite beauties. However, although her prince was the son of a civil official, and had a good family background and outstanding literary talent, he was not a petite beauty due to his tall stature, and was not favored by the fifth princess.

In the final battle with the Third Princess, the Fifth Princess fell into the beauty trap and was defeated because she preferred petite beauties.

The Fifth Princess's coma this time was something that never happened in the original book. Will the fate of the Fifth Princess change as a result?

Xin Shuang glanced at her and said, "It's the young master of the Tan family, Tan Xi."

The master had asked us to pay attention to this two days ago.

Gu Jinke lowered his eyes and twirled his fingers, feeling a little inexplicable.

The Fifth Prince in the original book was also the Young Master of the Tan family, so she asked people to pay attention to him in advance.

Sure enough, even if the plot accidentally went off track, it would eventually return to the original track, such as her being imprisoned in the end, and the fifth princess coming to find the king after her horoscope matched her after she fell into a coma.

She smiled. Hadn't she noticed it a long time ago? What hope is there?

Xin Shuang and Sang Yi both keenly noticed that something was wrong with her mood, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness?"

Gu Jinke raised his head, his mood was the same as usual, he even fell back on the couch in a somewhat careless manner, and said with a lazi smile: "Oh, it's the Tan family, the chief priest of the Imperial College. Then I will have to prepare an extra gift. Chief priest Tan also taught me."

Xin Shuang's mouth twitched. It was true that Tan Jijiu had taught His Highness a lesson, but the upright and serious old-fashioned Tan Jijiu could not stand people like His Highness who were "lax and unmotivated" the most.

Every time I taught His Highness, did he not get angry and walk away in anger?

His Highness is still going to give gifts, isn't this just causing trouble?

Gu Jinke smiled. Did she need this one more blockage?

You know, although her blood was taken today, her attitude must have angered the self-centered queen. The encounter with the two young masters at the palace gate touched upon the heroine's secret thoughts.

Although she dragged Sang Yi to act out a scene in the end, considering the heroine's possessiveness over the hero, the characters who expressed concern for the hero would only have a miserable or even worse fate.

The purpose of her acting out this scene is to sever those feelings that may exist or not exist. It would be great if it could prevent Jiang Mo from being constantly suspected by Gu Jinxiu because of her in the future.

As for the anger vented by the Empress and Gu Jinxiu, I hope it can be more powerful so that she can go to the imperial mausoleum earlier.

Seeing that she was fine, Sang Yi smiled, reported back, and went back to prepare dinner.

Gu Jinke looked at her slender back as she retreated, and suddenly asked Xin Shuang, "How is things going in the south recently?"

Xin Shuang glanced at the thick white gauze wrapped around Gu Jinke's hand. She was not disappointed with the empress. She smiled more at the South mentioned by Gu Jinke: "Very good. After the court lifted the ban on sea trade, they joined one of the groups and went out to sea. They came back recently and had a good harvest."

Gu Jinke smiled. It turned out that she was right to secretly push for the lifting of the maritime ban. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Arrange a few more groups to go out. When the time comes, we will build a special caravan to make it bigger and stronger."

It would be nice to go out to sea on your own in the future and settle down somewhere else.

Xin Shuang couldn't help but laugh: "Okay!"

While they were discussing the matter, the news that Tan Xi was chosen to become the fifth prince to marry the fifth princess spread throughout the court and the country.

Although Tan Jijiu was an old-fashioned person who had always kept in mind the principle that the emperor should be the leader of his subjects, she was still distressed that her youngest son was chosen as the one to bring good luck. Fearing that the child would be sad, she went to the backyard to see the child, wanting to give him some comfort.

Unexpectedly, she was faced with her son's smile. She was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing..."

Didn’t she ask her husband to pass on the message? Why is the child still smiling foolishly?

He's not going crazy because of sadness.

Tan Xi smiled and said, "Mom, now that the big thing has been decided, I will just say one thing. Please don't be angry."

Tan Jijiu was stunned, and saw that Tan Xi was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes: "I have admired the Fifth Princess for a long time, and I am very happy that I can save her. If... if the wedding is unsuccessful, I will accept it."

Tan Jijiu couldn't help but sigh. Now he knew why his husband said that the child was depressed two days ago.

The time for arranging a wedding ceremony is very tight, and it must be held immediately after the temple is set up.

After hearing the news, the young masters who were on good terms with Master Tan would inevitably come to visit him. According to the closeness of their relationship and their status, banquets were roughly divided into two categories. Those held near the day of the wedding were for the young masters who were close to Master Tan and had higher status.

Jiang Mo, Li Yuxin and Xue Luan were all at the banquet.

The small banquet was held according to the rules and there was nothing wrong with it. After the banquet, the other young masters and Tan Xi said goodbye to each other one by one.

When Li Yuxin was leaving, the servant who went to check the carriage said that the bearing of Li Yuxin's carriage was broken, so Xue Luan, who was riding in the same carriage with him, had to stay with him at the Tan family and wait for the carriage to be repaired.

Because of their elder relationship, Tan Xi and Jiang Mo had a good relationship, so Jiang Mo did not leave. Several young masters sat on the railing of the small pavilion standing on the pond, holding a can of fish food in their hands, and occasionally throwing a handful of food to feed the fish to kill time.

As the wedding date drew closer, Tan Xi became more and more happy and anxious. She leaned against the railing and fed the fish absent-mindedly.

When holding the fish food in your hand, you can only occasionally drop one or two pieces into the water, which causes the fish below to fight fiercely and splash water everywhere.

Xue Luan looked at the fish, then looked at him curiously: "Brother Tan Xi, are you worried?"

Tan Xi wanted to talk but stopped himself. He was not very familiar with Li Yuxin and Xue Luan before. This time, he found that they were much closer to their good friend Jiang Mo. He also started to get closer to them. He also unexpectedly found that his personalities were inexplicably compatible with these two. Li Yuxin was smart and caring, and Xue Luan was simple and enthusiastic. It seemed like they had met each other too late.

The few of them had a pleasant conversation, but when it came to his own little boyish thoughts, he lowered his eyes, a little hesitant as to whether he should speak out.

Jiang Mo held his hand. He naturally knew about his friend's conflicting thoughts about marriage, but he couldn't share them, so he could only comfort him in this way.

When Tan Xi was held by his hand and saw his friend's silent comfort and companionship, she suddenly felt enlightened. They were all friends she recognized, so what was there to be afraid of saying?

He smiled and said, "It's just that the wedding date is approaching, and I am both happy and nervous."

Xue Luan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. I thought you were sad, it's okay, my father was in the same mood when he said he was going to marry my mother. After the marriage, he was full of joy."

Tan Xi smiled, his eyes filled with longing.

The relationship between Lady Xue and her husband is still very famous in the capital. Many people even envy Mr. Xue, because he is the only one in Xue Cang's backyard, and the love between him and his wife is a good story.

He smiled at Xue Luan and said, "I'm not sad. I am willing to have this marriage and even feel lucky, so I am borrowing your good wishes."

He hoped that after he got married, the Fifth Princess would be able to wake up smoothly, and he could live in harmony with his beloved.

Xue Luan opened his eyes wide, a little surprised: "Do you like the Fifth Princess?"

Tan Xi nodded with a smile, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Xue Luan propped up his chin and became happier: "Then don't worry, you will be happy in the future. My father said that if you marry someone you love, you will be happy every day."

For some reason, his father had recently started talking to him about emotional matters. Xue Luan had recently gained a lot of insights into this and immediately shared it with Tan Xi with great interest.

But after a while, Tan Xi's eyes were beaming with joy, as if she could foresee a loving life with the fifth princess in the future. Li Yuxin couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and scattered a handful of fish food into the pond, attracting the fish to scramble for it.

Jiang Mo looked at the smile on his friend's face and smiled unconsciously: "Marrying someone you love is what you want, it's great."

Unlike the path he took and the person he loved, it was so far away that there was no end in sight, and so slim that there was no hope.

Li Yuxin glanced at him, met his gaze, and then lowered his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the sharp-eared Tan Xi heard it. Just when he was full of confidence, he immediately patted his shoulder and said, "Amo, you will get what you want. Marry the person you love."

He knew that Jiang Mo also had someone he liked, but Jiang Mo kept it a secret and he didn't know who it was. However, he felt that based on Jiang Mo's character, talent and appearance, there was no girl who would not like him.

Jiang Mo smiled and said, I hope so.

Xue Luan looked at the others, then realized what was happening and was stunned: "Ah? Does that mean you all have girls you like? Am I the only one who doesn't have one?"

Last time, A Xin told her that she liked Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Now that she knew that Tan Xi liked Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, Jiang Mo meant that he also had someone he liked. That meant he didn't have anyone he liked, and now he was completely out of tune with them.

Several people were amused by Xue Luan's surprise. Tan Xi joked, "Then you should find a girl you like."

Speaking of this, Xue Luan became a little distressed. Recently, his father had found a lot of information and portraits of girls for him. Just ask him if he is interested and wants to meet.

But what’s the point of him looking at the portraits and the information in the posts? It's like looking at a picture book, it goes through my mind but not my heart, and nothing is left a deep impression.

He immediately asked several people for advice: "How do you find the girls you like?"

If they teach him, maybe he will be able to pick out one or two people after he returns.

This person is clearly inexperienced, otherwise why would he ask such a question?

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Tan Xi was in a good mood and took the lead to teach others: "I went to burn incense outside the city and happened to meet the Fifth Princess leading the troops out of the city. She was the first one, riding a white horse with a silver saddle, and she was as swift as a meteor. At one glance, I was attracted to her."

Xue Luan blinked, a little confused. Was this a chance encounter, and then love at first sight? He couldn't fall in love with the portrait at first sight.

However, Tan Xi became quiet as he spoke, his eyes drifting away, obviously lost in memories, with a smile on the corners of his lips.

Xue Luan didn't want to interrupt him, so he had to turn his gaze to Jiang Mo. Maybe the atmosphere was too good, Jiang Mo's eyes looked at the lake, and there was a sense of distance: "Me?"

He smiled and said, "I didn't look for her, she was just there. I don't know when I fell in love with her. When I came to my senses, she was already all I could think of."

Xue Luan was even more confused. Jiang Mo looked back at his innocent look, smiled, thought for a moment, and said to him, "When you find a girl you like, you will understand."

When he was a child, he was afraid of the deep palace, but his grandmother taught him to smile and not cry, otherwise he would appear timid.

He always smiles obediently.

He didn't know how to tell time by looking at the sun at that time, but he knew that when the most beautiful princess, who was often praised by his grandmother, came back, it would not be long before he could go home.

So he always looked forward to the return of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess during the day. Every time she came back, he couldn't help but smile happily at her. At that time, besides his grandmother, she was his favorite.

Later, he was scratched by broken porcelain and forgotten. He watched himself bleeding heavily, feeling sad and scared. When he fell into despair, he waited for her to come back, holding his hand, walking out of the pile of broken porcelain, applying medicine for him, and giving him stability and hope.

He still doesn't know exactly when and where he fell in love with her, but when he came to his senses, she was the only one in his eyes or in his memories.

It's probably like what the book says, love comes from nowhere but is ever-lasting and deep.

Xue Luan's eyes widened in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Li Yuxin slapped him and said, "Don't ask. Everyone is different. When you meet someone you like, you will know."

Xue Luan could only pout. Well, he still wanted to ask Li Yuxin, but now it seems that there is no need.

Judging from everyone's expressions, this is a very profound subject that can only be understood but not explained.

"When I find someone I like in the future, I'll come and tell you!" He clenched his fist and vowed.

The author has something to say:

Youthful feelings are always poetry~

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor. It comes from Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing"

Tomorrow the fifth princess will wake up, and the plot will enter a different moment or turning point
