C184 (1/2)
Only after Sun Jinzi returned to the Sun Mansion did she realize that the Zhong's actually truly wanted her to return.
The reason for this was none other than because it was related to the matters of the palace.
”Three days from now, it will be the Imperial Concubine Zhuang's grand ceremony. At that time, our entire family will have to attend.”
The Zhong's had a solemn look on her face. Of course, the reason for her appearance here was not because she was attending the Imperial Concubine Zhuang's posthumous sacrificial ceremony. Only the officials of the imperial court had the right to participate in that ceremony.
Zhong's naturally referred to the day of the seal. At night, they would attend intrauterine's banquet.
Since it was such an important time, the emperor naturally had to put in some effort.
This time, the title of Queen was not the same as usual. This was a woman he loved. He had finally gotten what he deserved.
He could finally let go of his promise to Zhuang Fei.
”Yes, ma'am, I already know.” Sun Jinzi nodded her head. What she displayed was not the attitude that a daughter should have, nor was it something that a subordinate should have.
His eyes were serious, his face was solemn, his attitude clear, there was no flattery, no contempt, everything was calm and indifferent.
”Go back and rest.” The current Zhong's did not plan to make things difficult for Sun Jinzi.
It was not because Sun Jinzi was obedient, but because she already had a way to connect with the Imperial Concubine Zhuang, who would be the future Empress Dowager.
If she were to successfully hook up with the Imperial Concubine Zhuang, then her own daughter would definitely become the concubine of the Fourth Prince.
Therefore, Sun Jinzi was very useful for the time being.
Once Sun Jinzi left, Sun Jinmeng appeared.
Beneath her face was hatred.
”What's wrong, Meng Er, who has offended you?”
Zhong's unconcernedly pulled Sun Jinmeng's small hand.
”Mother, we have to marry her off as soon as possible.” Otherwise, she felt that it wouldn't be so easy for her to settle the matter with the Fourth Prince.
Zhong's laughed as he shook his head, ”You, why are you so anxious?”
They had already said that the marriage between the Sixth Prince and the Sun Mansion was bestowed by the Emperor, so they had no right to interfere, and the date for the marriage had already been set.
”Do you know … ”Oh, Mother, you don't know anything.” Sun Jinmeng powerlessly stomped her feet.
Zhong's sensed that Sun Jinmeng had something to say, so he pulled her and sat on the bed to the side, then roared at Sun Jinmeng in a soft voice.
Sun Jinmeng started to explain.
”It was about the Princess of Dongchu swimming in the lake together.”
Sun Jinmeng explained all that the Fourth Prince cared about Sun Jinzi to her. After she said that, when she saw Sun Jinzi land on the pleasure boat, the Fourth Prince actually wanted to reach out to save him. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince was quick to move, and she was unable to find an excuse to leave.
Even though Zhong's was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked.
”Meng Er, is what you said true?”
If Fourth Prince took a fancy to Sun Jinzi herself, what would happen?
She had always known that even though Fourth Prince was his biological daughter, the relationship between mother and son wasn't necessarily very good. There were even many times when Fourth Prince simply wouldn't listen to her.
Before coming to the Zhong's, he had only wanted to settle the matter of Sun Jinmeng with the Imperial Concubine Zhuang because he wanted to see the favor and face of the emperor.
If Imperial Concubine Zhuang took a fancy to any Lady, she would definitely not dare to mention it to him, because even if she did, she would definitely not listen to her. Therefore, she would only say it in front of the emperor.
With the Emperor's degree of affection towards the Imperial Concubine Zhuang, he would definitely directly grant them a marriage.
This could be seen from the previous banquet.
”Then this matter …” Fine, let's just let them get married quickly, and this time, did the Sixth Prince personally save Sun Jinzi? ”
Zhong's already had an idea in his heart.
He had originally thought that it would be fine for Sun Jinzi to marry to the Sixth Prince alive, but he didn't expect that she would be so restless. She had gone to the left and right to provoke the prince, and from the First Prince to the Fourth Prince to the Fourth Prince …
”Yes, we saw it with our own eyes, not only me, but the other cousins in Prime Minister's Estate saw it too.”
Sun Jinmeng was afraid that the Zhong's would not believe her, and even involved the people from the Prime Minister's Estate.
”You should go rest. I understand.”
Since she knew, and Sun Jinzi was so dangerous, she naturally could not just sit by and do nothing.
She had to do something.
As a result, on the second day, there was a rumor circulating in the capital that when the Princess of Dongchu was inviting a group of Daughter of your female for a banquet, a storm had occurred in the lake and the cruise liner was unstable, causing the Sun Mansion's Second Miss to sink into the lake.
At that time, Sixth Prince would jump down the lake to be the hero and rescue the beauty.
However, at that time, Sun Mansion's Second Miss had seen enough of her clothes, so she was able to hug him again.
Rumors of this sort abound.
Be it the merchants of Zhengyang Street or the maidservants in the backyard of each clan, all of them were discussing with each other.
”Ah, is that true? Didn't someone come out to spread the rumour that it was fake last time? ”
After the incident with the pleasure boat dropping into the water that very day, someone had already spread the news. In just a short while, it had been suppressed.
When the old story was brought up again, some people did not quite believe it.
