However, after receiving the news just now, Su Ruirui had already gone to Shu Province.
”No wonder he was so easy to speak with on the third day. He was already so impatient?”
Princess Xiangyang threw the teacup in her hand onto the ground fiercely, and the teacup shattered into pieces.
Ning Xiang lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes. She guessed that Owner probably treated this teacup as a little girl.
In Ning Xiang's heart, there was still only a little bit of kindness left.
Mu Rousang, this little girl, had never provoked the Owner before, but Master truly hated her.
This was a death-day. Regardless of whether someone died or not, this knot would never be untied in this lifetime.
Princess Xiangyang fell in love with her husband at first sight, or perhaps, just by raising her head to look at him, she had already changed her feelings.
She fell in love with the Xiangyang's Duke, leaving the Crown Prince, whom she missed in her heart, behind.
Ning Xiang heard Owner asking again.
She stepped forward and answered, ”This servant has arranged for people to follow them from afar. Afterwards, I heard that on the third day of the year, Prince went to Shu to accompany Lady Mu and enjoy the lanterns on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.”
”Flower Lantern Reward on the Feast of Yuanjia?” ”Hahaha …”
Princess Xiangyang seemed to have received a huge shock as she laughed so hard that her tears came out uncontrollably.
She leaned on the beauty and said to Ning Xiang: ”Since childhood, you have accompanied me by my side. Do you still remember how, one year, we followed my mother to the Royal Monastery outside the capital to burn incense there?”
Ning Xiang didn't understand why she would ask that. How could she forget the kindness of saving her life back then?
”How can I not remember? My master used to say that if I see my benefactor again, I must repay him with my life. Later on, didn't I find out that it was the crown prince?”
Princess Xiangyang laughed helplessly and laughed desolately, ”Yes, my parents and I had thought that the crown prince had saved us the entire time, but... The day of my wedding, the moment the veil was lifted, I knew that I had acknowledged the wrong person. ”
”What?”
Princess Xiangyang was lost in her memories, and did not care about the questions in Ning Xiang's eyes, her eyes had always been empty, and stared blankly at the ceiling of the sculpted pillar, and after a long while, she slowly replied: ”Ning Xiang, the most powerful thing that you and I have memorized is that luxurious robe!”
”Yes, this servant still remembers that even though the crown prince had covered his face, he wore a violet jade pendant unique to the royal family.” Ning Xiang remembered the jade pendant very clearly. The auspicious cloud jade python on the jade pendant was a symbol unique to the descendants of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
”I once thought so too. Even if it was just a piece of jade, how could there be two of them? Even if it is carved into jade, there is still a clear difference in color. ”
The Princess Xiangyang paused here before continuing, ”Later on, we accidentally saw the Crown Prince. At that time, the Crown Prince wore a jade pendant around his waist, which was very similar to what we saw that day. Not only us, even my mother, an experienced and shrewd person, was fooled by it.”
”Could it be wrong?” Ning Xiang did not understand, but after thinking back, she could not help but say: ”Speaking of it, it is rather strange, this servant has never seen Your Highness wear it, may I know why?”
”In the royal family, only the Emperor's descendants can wear jade pythons, other heavenly serpents, or peonies.” Princess Xiangyang felt her heart ache, and also regretted not having been carefully investigated by someone at that time.
”But, what does it have to do with Master's marriage?” Ning Xiang could not understand.
Hearing her ask that, for some reason, a pair of bright eyes appeared in her mind. Mu Rousang's eyes were so clean and clear, without any impurities.
”Those eyes!”
She said a 'pun'.
Ning Xiang suspiciously blinked her eyes. She changed her mind and asked: ”Eyes? But is it related to the prince? ”
”Yes, it does have something to do with him!” Ning Xiang did not understand Princess Xiangyang's words too well.
But her guess was right. Could it be that Owner had paid attention to the other party's eyes back then?
She thought back carefully, the eyes of the crown prince and the Xiangyang King were very similar.
In the end, he was a half-brother.
However, although the eyes were similar, they were different.
The Crown Prince's eyes were gentle and affectionate, the eyes of the Xiangyang King were cold as a pond.
Ning Xiang made a guess in her heart: ”Master's meaning is that we have admitted our wrongs these past few years.”
”En!”
”Then what about the Old Master and the Old Master?” Ning Xiang was secretly anxious.
Princess Xiangyang gave an ugly smile and replied: ”What else can we do? At that time, because of this favor, Father had already made a decision with the Crown Prince. When I get married, how could I possibly withdraw? ”
The Grand Preceptor had no way out, so he could only force himself to continue conspiring with the crown prince.
Princess Xiangyang knew in her heart that there was no way she could turn back. Hence, she did not tell her father about this.
Ning Xiang asked again: ”But we have never seen the Prince's jade pendant before!”
Princess Xiangyang's originally dazed gaze suddenly turned into a sharp sword, shooting straight to the roof, gritting her teeth as she replied: ”All these years, I have never seen it before. I also secretly called for people to go over the prince's residence, but they were unable to find anything.
Princess Xiangyang felt that it was perfectly reasonable for him to hate Mu Rousang.
To hate a person could have a million reasons to love a person, but there was no need for any reason at all.
Su Ruirui was taught since a young age that as a qualified prince, one must be rational and not use emotions.
Otherwise, he would be blinded, unable to be wise to false truth.
He had thought that someone as smart as him would be able to keep everything in his grasp.
However, how could he control the human heart?
Sure enough, he still didn't understand her. This intelligent and thinking girl was actually so resolute and decisive.
He could not have a concubine, have a concubine, or marry a concubine!
This must be written on the letter of appointment.
Perhaps because she had suffered too much when she was young, she loved to earn large amounts of silver with her own hands.
He had always known this. He had given her many opportunities to earn money.
However, he thought he had done enough, that he had done well enough.
