Three "yes"!
It showed how low Jing Xuan's status was now!
If it was her previous personality, how could she be so obedient?
She would definitely fight back.
But after going through so much, she was no longer that unruly and capricious girl.
So, she led her people and left obediently.
Gong Shilin stood behind Third Prince. When she passed by Gong Shilin, she didn't even look at him and walked away.
However, Jing Xuan didn't know that when she passed by Gong Shilin, Gong Shilin's eyes followed her.
His eyes were complicated.
It was hard to tell what was going on.
When Jing Xuan's figure gradually disappeared, Gong Shilin went up to Third Prince and said, "Tuo, isn't it inappropriate for you to treat her like this?"
Third Prince's name was Tuo.
That was the surname of the country!
Tuo snorted, his eyes twitching as he said, "How is it inappropriate? I can do whatever I want. "
Willful!
Gong Shilin said in a low voice, "But she is your princess."
He was reminding him.
Third Prince didn't care, "It's useless to keep such a princess by my side. Why should I treat her well? If she had any value, I wouldn't treat her like this. "
In the end, it was about interests!
For the people of the royal family, only interests were king.
Gong Shilin couldn't say anything about Third Prince's words.
After all, she was not his wife.
Thus, he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Tuo glanced at him, "You don't have to worry about me. I heard that your father has proposed to Marquis Pingyang for you. Haven't you always been thinking about Li Wenshu from the Li family? Now, when she comes back, you will get married. "
However —
Gong Shilin didn't seem very happy.
His eyes darkened as he walked forward.
Tuo asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." No one knew that Gong Shilin didn't like Li Wenshu at all. When he was a child, he really admired Li Wenshu because she was a talented girl. But admiration was not love between a man and a woman. He never liked to explain too much. His father and the people around him all said that he liked Li Wenshu.
He liked Li Wenshu. If he remained silent, others would think that he had tacitly agreed.
Actually, even if he confessed his feelings and told his father that he didn't like Li Wenshu, the person he wanted to marry would still be Li Wenshu.
Because his father and Marquis Pingyang had always been on the same side.
In order to strengthen the relationship between the two families, they would definitely unite by marriage.
Therefore, regardless of whether Gong Shilin liked her or not, he had to marry Li Wenshu.
This was already a foregone conclusion!
It was precisely because he had known this since he was young that he had not expressed his feelings to anyone.
After staying in the Third Marquis' residence for a while, Gong Shilin went back.
In the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.
Ever since she saw the Third Prince, Jing Xuan's heart could no longer remain calm!
She did not know what kind of feeling it was.
He did not know why he was feeling so flustered.
Moreover, he was not in the mood to plant flowers.
The maidservant looked at it and asked, "Wangfei, do you want to plant it here?"
Jing Xuan snapped out of her reverie and looked at the spot the maid was pointing at. She nodded and said, "Let's go there."
"Yes!"
Jing Xuan squatted down, grabbed the flower seeds, and began to bury them.
She called out, "Qi 'er?"
The maidservant called Qi 'er looked at her. "What instructions does Your Highness have for me?"
Jing Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "What kind of person … is the Third Prince?"
"His Highness?"
"Mm."
Qi 'er organized her words in her mind, then said, "His Highness is … very smart."
"Other than smart?"
"This … this servant doesn't know what to say. This servant has always been serving in the inner courtyard, and has never been near His Highness. "
Jing Xuan's heart sank.
Qi 'er looked at her and suddenly smiled. "Your Highness has finally met His Highness. I hope that His Highness will pay more attention to you in the future."
Jing Xuan smiled bitterly.
She continued to bury the flower seeds in her hand.
She did not say anything else.
All the flowers in the garden were planted by her one by one!
They were all the flowers of Great Lin.
It was clear that she still missed them.
The only people she missed right now were her Seventh Imperial Brother and Miss Ji.
… …
Marquis Pingyang's residence.
After Gong Chi and Li Wenshi finished their discussion, they returned.
At this moment, Li Wenshi was sitting alone in the pavilion.
He continued to drink tea.
After a while, a man hurried over.
"Marquis." The man bowed and cupped his hands.
Li Wenshi took a sip of tea and looked straight ahead. "How is it?"
"Replying to Marquis, the Crown Prince and Miss are staying in the border town of Yiwu. They will not be leaving for the time being."
Li Wenshi frowned. "What do you mean by 'not leaving for the time being'?"
"The Crown Prince took on a murder case in Yiwu."
"A murder case?"
"I think it's a case of bones in a theater. Because the Yiwu County Magistrate made a mistake, the Crown Prince took over the case. They should still be investigating it."
Li Wenshi was furious.
He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table.
"This is ridiculous. How can he meddle in the affairs of the bureaucracy?"
How infuriating.
The man waited outside without saying a word.
Li Wenshi said, "He only knows how to play all day. How would he know how to solve cases? Nonsense. "
The man said, "The Crown Prince seems to know someone. That person is able to draw a portrait of a skeleton. Everyone in Yiwu knows about this."
"Oh? Who is that? "Li Wenshi was curious.
"I'm not sure. I only know that it's a merchant from Great Lin."
"Go and find out who they are. Tell the Crown Prince and Miss to come back quickly. "
"Yes."
The man left immediately.
Li Wenshi sat in the pavilion for a long time.
On the other side.
Not long after Gong Chi returned home, Gong Shilin also returned.
The servant said, "Young Master, Master wants you to go to the side hall."
Gong Shilin seemed to know why his father was looking for him.
He nodded and left.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gong Chi sitting inside with a solemn expression.
"Father."
"Sit down."
Gong Shilin respectfully sat at the side, not saying a word.
"You went to the Third Marquis' residence again?"
"Yes."
"Don't go there again."
Hmm?
Gong Shilin was puzzled. "Why?"
"Something happened in the court recently. It will have some impact. Don't go to the Third Marquis' residence before it is resolved."
"Yes."
"Also, about your marriage with Wen Shu, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible after she returns."
"So soon?"
Gong Chi looked at his son and said, "Shouldn't you be happy?"
Happy?
He had never said that he liked Li Wenshu.
But …
He still nodded. "Of course I'm happy. Miss Li is a good person."
"This is your blessing. From now on, our two families are one family."
"Yes."
