Chapter 168
On this day, while making breakfast, Dongzhi and Bai Jiuxiao asked for leave.
"Sister Jiujiu, I will help you cook lunch and dinner every morning these days. Can you heat them up then?"
Bai Jiuxiao frowned.
It's annoying to have to light a fire when it's hot.
"What do you want during the day?"
"I want to go fishing with them. The fourth prince of Sang Lin is getting married in a few days and is collecting fish. The price is particularly good."
Bai Jiuxiao was chewing an apple and almost choked when she heard this.
"Who? Who is getting married?" She thought she heard wrongly.
"The fourth prince of Sang Lin is the Sang Lin on the other side of the sea."
Bai Jiuxiao was stunned for a while, still not convinced: "Fourth Prince Ning Shiqian?"
"I don't know what your name is. Anyway, it must be surnamed Ning. There is only one fourth prince, and there can't be a second one."
Bai Jiuxiao took another bite of the apple and found it was sour and astringent. He spat it out and threw the unfinished apple into a wooden bucket of swill far away.
"Do you know who he married?"
"I hear rumors that he is a direct disciple of the miraculous doctor Si Ya."
"Who?" Bai Jiuxiao suddenly stood up from his seat.
Winter Solstice was startled on the stove side.
"Si Ya's disciple?" Bai Jiuxiao confirmed with him.
Dongzhi looked at her strangely, not understanding why she had such a big reaction.
Nodding: "I heard those who went to Sang Lin to sell fish said so. I don't know whether it is true or false."
Bai Jiuxiao frowned, sat back again, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
"So, Sister Jiujiu, can I help you prepare three meals at once?" Dongzhi asked.
Bai Jiuxiao took his hand away from his forehead and said displeasedly: "Are you short of money? How much can you sell for a day of fishing? I'll give you double, don't go!"
winter solstice:"."
It is rare to see her angry. No, I should say that I have never seen her angry since I met her.
She always gave him the feeling that she was lazy and idle. Everything seemed to be out of her sight and in her heart. She didn't care about anything and didn't matter to anything.
This is the first time she has spoken so coldly.
In fact, it wasn't that bad, but Winter Solstice found that he was trembling for no reason, and he was scared to death.
He quickly refused: "No need to double. No need to double. Sister Jiujiu has given me enough money. I just won't go. I won't go."
What he said was the truth. He was only ten years old, but he cooked three meals a day for her and made more money than those laborers made in a day.
The reason why he wanted to go overseas was just to make more money. After all, no one can struggle with money.
Since she was unhappy, he wouldn't go.
He can still distinguish between priorities, and at least he knows it.
"No, you go, not only you go, I also go with you." Bai Jiuxiao said.
ah?
Winter Solstice was surprised: "You also go to sea?"
"Yeah." Bai Jiuxiao nodded.
Winter Solstice sweated: "Sister Jiujiu, you better not. Although I usually advise you to find something to do and not just sit back and do nothing, but as for doing things like fishing in the sea, this kind of thing is only done by men.
, you women will."
"Who said I'm going fishing?" Bai Jiuxiao interrupted him.
"Ah? If you don't fish, what are you doing out at sea?"
"Have fun, it's too boring to stay at home. Let's go to the sea to have some fun, and then I'll go with you to Sanglin to join in the fun. Don't worry, I'll pay for the boat ride."
winter solstice:"."

Early the next morning, Dongzhi came over and called Bai Jiuxiao to set off.
"Sister Jiujiu, let's go, let's go!"
Bai Jiuxiao came out of the house.
The unfamiliar appearance caught his eye, and Dongzhi was stunned: "Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?" Bai Jiuxiao glanced at him and said coolly.
Winter Solstice stared: "Sister Jiujiu! Your face"
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a mask." Bai Jiuxiao closed the door with his backhand.
Winter Solstice ran up to her and took a closer look.
It sticks so well that you can't tell it's a fake mask at all.
"Sister Jiujiu, why do you have to wear a mask?"
"Beauty brings trouble. I'm too good-looking to avoid getting into trouble." Bai Jiuxiao said.
winter solstice:"."
Although, he is indeed pretty good-looking, but he is also the first person he has ever met to talk about himself like this.
"By the way, Sister Jiujiu, I've found some connections to help you make an agreement. You don't have to pay for the ship, but you have to bring your own dry food. If you eat their food, you have to pay for it."
Bai Jiuxiao shook her bulging money bag: "Sister, you have money, let's go."

The sky was filled with red silk, colorful stands were hung high, and red lanterns were hung high. Joy continued, and the Four Princes' Mansion was filled with joy.
Everyone in the mansion wore red ribbons around their waists, and they were busy running around with happy faces.
All the furniture in Ning Shiqian's wing was replaced with new ones, all covered in vermilion. The red candles on the table were lit early in the morning, illuminating the red curtains, red quilts and red pillows on the bed, all highlighting the atmosphere of the new house.
Ning Shiqian was wearing a bright red wedding robe, sitting at the table, watching the wax on the red candles being melted by the candle flames and flowing down the red candle walls, slightly lost in thought.
Shi Lei walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go get married."
Ning Shiqian came to his senses, looked sideways at Shi Luo by the wall, and stood up.
His father said that Zhuyan had no family in Sanglin, so he arranged for her to get married in the palace. Therefore, when he got married, he went to the palace to welcome her.
"Has the mother and concubine been properly placed?" Ning Shiqian asked Shi Lei.
Because Zhuyan said that his mother and concubine would be treated on the wedding day, so after asking his father for instructions, he took his mother and concubine to the Fourth Prince's Mansion so that she could be treated easily.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be well arranged."
The master and servant left the side room.
Seeing the man's picturesque features, dragon and phoenix posture, Shi Lei couldn't help but admire: "The prince looks really good in his wedding robe."
He is not flattering, he speaks from the bottom of his heart.
This man usually wears plain-colored robes, mostly white. This is the first time I see him wearing such a strong red, which makes his facial features even more outstanding, making him unparalleled in the world.
Ning Shiqian glanced at him and didn't answer.
It's a pity that she has never seen him like this.
He had never seen her in red either.
I imagined her wearing a red wedding dress in my mind, but I couldn't imagine it.
*
At the same time, the Chunlai Palace was also decorated with joy and red.
Zhuyan was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, sitting in front of the dressing mirror, while a group of palace maids were doing her final make-up.
Looking at myself in the bronze mirror with bright eyes, white teeth, and bright makeup, I feel a bit like a dream.
Will she finally get what she wants?
Will she finally marry the man she has always dreamed of marrying?
"Your Majesty." The voices of the palace people saluting came.
Zhuyan shuddered and came to his senses.
Turning around, she saw Emperor Jing, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walking in from the door. She quickly stood up and saluted: "Hail your Majesty."
"No courtesy." Emperor Jing raised his sleeves and motioned for her to lie down.
Finally, he ordered the people around him: "Please step back, I have something to say to the fourth princess."
All the palace officials took the order and filed out.
