Hearing the message from Sun Fuping, asking her to meet a guest in antechamber, Sun Jinzi was very suspicious. Who was it that came to visit him? Furthermore, he was in antechamber, which meant that he should be a man.
Instinctively, Sun Jinzi guessed that it might be Jin Chuao, and only he would openly come to find him. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still had to arrange his appearance, and only then did Mu Tan follow him to antechamber.
”Daughter greets father.”
Sun Fuping immediately let Sun Jinzi get up and sit down.
”Sister, you came so quickly, Sixth Prince has been waiting for you.”
From the moment Sun Jinzi entered the antechamber, his head had always been lowered. Now that she heard the three words ”Sixth Prince”, Sun Jinzi's heart exploded like a thunderclap. Her eyes were filled with surprise and bewilderment, she raised his head to confirm that the person seated on the seat of honor was Jin Chupei, and then frantically lowered his head.
Jin Chupei was secretly pleased with himself. This girl must not have thought that he would be the one to meet her. So who did she think it was?
”How's Second Miss?”
Sun Jinzi nodded her head, she was afraid that her actions just now would cause her father and two brothers to be suspicious, and she replied Jin Chupei's words calmly.
”I wonder why Sixth Prince is looking for me?”
At the moment, Jin Chupei was already very satisfied with seeing Sun Jinzi, and was afraid that she would be annoyed, hence he did not beat around the bush.
Sun Jinzi stood up and thanked him, but she was a little doubtful. Since when had Jin Chupei been so close to Master? The last time she went to see Master, she had already seen him.
”Father, that daughter will take her leave first.”
Sun Fuping's eyes continued to shift between Sun Jinzi and Sixth Prince. Sun Jingbo saw everything clearly and felt that her father was confused. The Emperor had given the order to Sun Jinzi to be a First Prince's Consort. If their family really had to produce a Sixth Prince's Consort, it should be Ning Er.
Jin Chupei's gaze fell on Sun Jinzi's body without any hesitation. Other than that startled glance, Sun Jinzi had not raised her head to look at her again, which made him feel somewhat unresigned in her heart, and also somewhat proud of herself.
The reason why she didn't look at him was definitely not because she was shy. It was definitely because she still had feelings for him in her heart.
”Alright, then Zi Er will go down first.”
”Master Sun, since the words have been said, it would be inconvenient for me to disturb you.”
Sun Fuping still wanted to ask his to stay, but he had already stood up. Helpless, Sun Fuping could only send his to the entrance.
But in his heart, he was still considering whether this Sixth Prince could accept Zi Er. The Sixth Prince should be grateful to Zi Er, so with Zi Er's identity as the concubinage, even if she could not become the Chief Consort, he could still be a favoured lateral consort.
The moment Sun Jingbo saw his father, he knew what he was thinking. He felt a bit of disdain for him, but he wished even more that Ning Er would become linked with the Sixth Prince. His status would probably rise as well.
Sun Jinzi was also afraid of running into Jin Chupei when he was looking for his master, so he might as well go back early and avoid feeling awkward meeting Jin Chupei.
However, he didn't expect that she would wake up so early. Someone had woken up even earlier and was waiting for him at the door.
When Sun Jinning saw that Sun Jinzi had arrived, she walked towards him unwillingly. However, no one told her, were the expressions on her face all warped?
”Second Sister, I heard that you are going to the Sensory Temple, and I just so happened to be going to get a Safety Glyph for mother, so let's go together.”
Seeing Sun Jinzi nod her head, Sun Jinning felt that it was a little surprising and could only find it a little hard to believe her eyes. However, she still happily got into her own carriage, letting Coachman follow closely behind Sun Jinzi, as if she was afraid that Sun Jinzi would throw her off …
Miss, why did you let Third Miss follow you here, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you?
Sun Jinzi leaned against the carriage with her eyes closed slightly. She did not continue speaking with Mu Tan because she knew she was worried about herself. But she also had a premonition that Jin Chupei would definitely go to the Sensory Temple today.
It must be because Sun Jingbo told her yesterday that he was able to stop his so early in the morning. That intention was very clear, at that time, with Sun Jinmeng bothering him, he would be able to save himself a lot of trouble.
Although the two of them had explained it clearly, she could still see the love in Jin Chupei's eyes when he looked at her. She also did not dare to see him again, for fear that she would forget what she had promised her mother and herself on impulse.
Seeing that the young miss had no intention to bother with him, Mu Tan kept her mouth shut, but she could not watch the Third Miss snatch the Sixth Prince away. The Sixth Prince could only be their Young Miss's.
Before waiting for Sun Jinzi to get off the carriage, Sun Jinmeng had already jumped down from the carriage to take a look, as if she was looking for someone. Sun Jinzi laughed but did not expose him. It was still early, Jin Chupei was probably still in the morning assembly. Even if she wanted to come, it would take at least two hours. She was just waiting here for the best, directly blocking Jin Chupei at the door, so as to avoid him bothering her by going in.
”Second Sister, where are you going?”
Sun Jinzi regained her senses, seeing Sun Jinmeng running towards him, her brows knitted together involuntarily.
”Third sister, we're not on the way. I'm going to look for Master Ji Zi, you should go over there and beg the Safety Glyph.”
”But …”
Sun Jinmeng knew that Sun Jinzi didn't want to bring her along at all, but Big Brother said to make her follow closely behind Sun Jinzi. Although she didn't know what Sun Jinzi's intentions were, she felt that Big Brother must be doing it for her own good.
But seeing how determined Sun Jinzi was, Sun Jinmeng was afraid that he would make her unhappy. At that time, how was she going to find Sixth Prince?
