C154 (2/2)
This was an imperial edict that could not be casually changed.
”It's fine.” As long as Sun Jinzi was happy, so what if he rejected his offer, royal father.
Sun Jinzi was not happy but sad.
They had already lived so carefully, yet they still struggled so hard together, as if they were a bit tired.
He was tired, and she was tired.
She couldn't help but suspect again that it wasn't inappropriate for them to be together. After all, the The Jin Dynasty's rules of etiquette forbade young women and men to agree to a lifelong agreement.
”What are you thinking?” Jin Chupei could feel the heavy worries in Sun Jinzi's heart, and his gaze that was becoming more and more distant from his.
Sun Jinzi raised her head, the redness on her face had faded and the excitement in her eyes had been blown away by the wind.
”It's nothing. It's an order from His Majesty. It's best not to disobey it.” She did not want Jin Chupei to bear that burden once again.
He had never been favoured, and his other brothers were all trying to pull him down.
If he was in a bad situation, it was likely that he would be giving those potential enemies of his a handle.
”Then you …” You must remember, receiving Princess of Dongchu is just for the sake of the royal decree. ”
It had nothing to do with anything else.
Sun Jinzi forced herself to nod her head.
She was afraid that if he hesitated with his attitude, Jin Chupei would really do something that would neglect the Princess of Dongchu, and thus cause Jin Chuyi to dislike him even more.
Ginkgo biloba leaves floated lightly in the wind. The tender green leaves were like a palm, but they were also like an open fan, green and glistening. Looking at the green leaves, it seemed like a new hope had been ignited in his heart. Sun Jinzi also planned to temporarily suppress them there, and not touch them for the time being.
”In a few days, during the Spring Festival, there will be horse racing in the southern suburbs of Beijing. Would Zi Er like to participate?”
Jin Chupei slowly said.
Although Sun Jinzi did not continue to pursue this matter, he felt even more depressed and worried.
For some things, the more one kept quiet, the more dangerous it was.
His heart had always been sensitive, especially towards Sun Jinzi's thoughts.
Sun Jinzi saw Jin Chupei's hesitation and uncertainty, and could not help but soften his heart, thinking that everything has their own rules, some things, the Heavens had actually long already decided, what belongs to you, even if they did not fight for it, it would eventually descend, but for some things, if they did not belong to you, you would struggle for life, and your head would bleed, and you would probably just brush past them, so, it would be better to remain calm.
”Well, it's just that I'm not very good at riding horses.” Sun Jinzi was actually quite familiar with how to ride a horse. When she was young, she remembered that they were at the city gate in her previous life. Although her skills were not good, he could definitely run around freely.
Jin Chupei agreed quickly as he came to teach Sun Jinzi.
Sun Jinzi was so shocked that she immediately shook her head and rejected her offer: ”No need, I still have Mu Rong.”
Seeing that Sun Jinzi was unhappy, she did not force her, but Mu Rong was extremely skilled in horse riding, so there was no problem in teaching Sun Jinzi, so he was slightly relieved.
Sun Jinzi's face still carried a faint smile, so Jin Chupei did not notice any abnormalities in Sun Jinzi's expression, and only thought that she really knew how to use it. )
However, he didn't know that Sun Jinzi's heart was currently as if it was being fried in a frying pan.
Back and forth, hesitating to move forward, he was exceptionally conflicted.
”Miss, Qing Xiu is here to see you.”
With her sharp eyes, Mu Tan had long since noticed the figure of Qing Xiu who was still standing on the small hill.
Sun Jinzi seemed to have found an extremely good excuse as she turned around and prepared to leave.
”I'll send you off.” Jin Chupei blocked her way.
”Also, you must remember to go to the horse racing, this time the prize money came from the royal father's private treasury, I think you will like it.”
Sun Jinzi was naturally unwilling, as her heart was currently filled with all sorts of thoughts. In an instant, she hadn't even thought about everything that had happened between them, and was unwilling to face things like this.
Moreover, if the wager this time was the same as her previous life, then she was very clear that it was only a pair of very precious white jade ruyi.
She was not very interested in these items that were of the gold, silver, and jade type.
”I can do it myself, but you should go and accompany that Easternum princess first, so as to avoid making her unhappy. At that time, come over to His Majesty and speak nonsense.”
Sun Jinzi was not just saying these words casually, but in the past, there had indeed been times when Princess of Dongchu was dissatisfied with Jin Chupei's cold attitude, and she had complained about it in front of Jin Chuyi.
However, according to how things were going, that matter was already over. Furthermore, because the time that Sun Jinzi and she had known her was brought forward, many of the things that happened in the past had long changed their trajectory.
Therefore, even Sun Jinzi couldn't guarantee that any one of these things would happen, and that none of these things would happen.
”You care about me?” Jin Chupei's first reaction upon hearing what Sun Jinzi said was actually this way.
Sun Jinzi lowered her head and did not say a word.
Even so, at this moment, she was unwilling to admit it. She only coldly snorted, ”How could I be afraid of her? I'm just a princess from a foreign country.” No matter how strong he was, this was still another country, and not in their Easternum.
