Chapter 195 The dust has settled
Zhao Fangyu keenly noticed that Sana had an unusual awe towards the man who was speaking.
The man was wearing a black eye patch, apparently because he had an eye disease, so he covered one eye.
The Muskri people like fancy clothes and rich colors, and they wear countless small beads and chains from head to toe. Many people have never noticed the eye mask on his face.
The man with Muzha patted Muzha on the shoulder and handed the initiative to the emperor, asking the emperor to choose a suitable husband for Sana.
The emperor's eyes swept among the princes, finally lingering on the fourth prince and the second prince.
Under the table, Zhao Fangyu felt Zhou Qinghe holding the hem of his clothes tightly, and then quickly loosening his grip, so quickly that it was almost unnoticeable.
Zhao Fangyu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Don't worry."
The emperor would not do it so obviously, and the Muskli people would not allow their princess to marry Zhou Qinghe, who was useless and obviously a waste.
Zhou Qinghe was a playboy who made him successful and also failed because of his dissolute behavior. After waiting for half a day, he finally heard the news that the emperor had granted marriage to the seventh prince and Sana.
A marriage has concerned half of the people of Daliang. The queen's mind is obviously not on the Muskli people, and the emperor is not happy either.
This feeling was probably that a small tribe in a remote place that he looked down upon, a reckless man who was only qualified to come to the capital to see him through force, actually dared to offend him, but he could not give an order to beat them back to their original place.
Zhao Fangyu led Zhou Qinghe out little by little. When they reached the palace gate, a scarlet figure passed by them. Zhao Fangyu only heard a soft voice in his ear: "Thank you, second brother and second sister-in-law."
The eldest princess and Sarisagi, Sarisa and the seventh prince.
In the eyes of the Musk Li Kingdom, they are brave men who are equal to Daliang, so their attitude is arrogant and proud, which makes people disgusted.
Daliang valued literature, especially Shangjing.
Zhao Fangyu felt something was wrong, so he secretly trained a hundred strong men in his house in Jiangnan.
Not feeling that this was not enough, he secretly opened a security company with the help of Zhou Qinghe.
Zhao Fangyu used to focus only on the escape route and did not pay attention to arranging bodyguards. She just hoped that the Daliang border could hold out longer so that she could train more bodyguards.
When Meng Yangjiang returned, every household in Shangjing had already started eating crabs.
The upper class people eat autumn crabs and sea crabs, while those who are poor can go to the river to set up a few traps and catch some shrimps and crabs to fill their stomachs.
Mid-Autumn Festival, another boring New Year's banquet.
Meng Yangjiang came back after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A small banquet was held at the Meng family, and only a few close relatives were invited.
The Zhao family is there, and Zhao Fangyu is also there.
Zhou Qinghe rarely had anything to do, so he did not follow. Before leaving, he said to Zhao Fangyu, "I'll pick you up in the evening."
Zhao Fangyu agreed, and seeing that Zhou Qinghe was only wearing a round-necked robe, he asked Xuanbi to put a cloak on him.
"It's already autumn, the weather is cold, run slower now."
Zhou Qinghe was going to the outskirts of Beijing today. If he wanted to pick her up and take her home, he would probably have to fly all the way there and back.
Zhou Qinghe smiled and nodded, then left with Xuanbi, while Zhao Fangyu took Su Rechunshao to the Duke of Li's Mansion.
Not only Zhao Fangyu, but also Zhao Fangjin and Shisiniang were there, as well as Zhao Fangyun, who had become a little gloomy at some point.
The eldest lady and the wife of the Duke of Li were talking excitedly, and a few older people were also joining in. Zhao Fangyu and her sisters gathered together on their own accord. Zhao Fangyun seldom came out, and since the younger sisters were not around, she also sat with Zhao Fangyu and the others.
"By the way, when is Fang Yun's wedding date set?"
Zhao Fangyu only remembered that Zhao Fangyun was engaged and the wedding date seemed to be in winter, but he could not remember the details.
Zhao Fangyun lowered her eyebrows and looked at the lifelike flowers and birds on the hem of Zhao Fangyun's skirt. A trace of envy flashed across her eyes: "November, eighteen."
"It's winter now, so we need to speed up preparations."
Zhao Fangyun nodded shyly, her cheeks flushed, which made Zhao Fangyu curious: "But have you seen it?"
Zhao Fangyun looked extremely satisfied with her new husband. Her ears turned red at the mere mention of him. She must like him.
Zhao Fangyun said nothing, fiddling with the handkerchief in his hand with one hand, without even raising his head, and hummed twice in silence.
"How could the person carefully selected by Concubine Song be bad?"
"Put your heart back in your stomach."
Zhao Fangyu has always been like this. Aunt Song has loved Zhao Fangyun like the apple of her eye since he was a child. How could she push Zhao Fangyun into the fire pit?
She married down and had a generous dowry. Even if Zhao Fangyun was not smart enough, her life would not be too bad. If Zhao Minshan was reinstated one day, would he not mention his son-in-law?
Aunt Song put all her motherly love on Zhao Fangyun. Zhao Fangyun may not understand it, but he obeyed.
Zhao Fangjin said a few more words about Aunt Song's current situation. Zhao Fangyu lowered her eyes and listened carefully, with her chin supported. Even Shisiniang couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
After Zhao Fangyu became a princess, she dressed even more elaborately. She could now wear many styles that she had not been able to wear before, making her look even more delicate.
Zhao Fangjin pinched Zhao Fangyu's cheeks for the first time in a long time, and only then did he feel relieved.
"As long as these two pieces of flesh are still there, otherwise I will really go to the Crane King's Mansion and ask how they raised our fourth daughter. How could she lose so much weight when she was a healthy person?"
Zhao Fangyu responded with a smile: "Sister, have you forgotten that I have always had a bad summer and have a poor appetite in summer, but it gets better in autumn and winter."
"I haven't even had the autumn cough this year."
Zhao Fangjin nodded after listening and whispered quietly: "He raised you well."
The Zhao family knows best how difficult it is to take care of Zhao Fangyu's health.
Zhao Fangyu did not explain, and asked Song Bai with a smile: "Is everything peaceful at home?"
Zhao Fangjin's smile was mixed with a hint of coldness: "Of course it's peaceful. With the previous examples of people being restless, who dares to cause trouble?"
"Even your eldest brother-in-law is very clean now."
Shisiniang stood aside and listened. As she listened, she felt that this was not what she should listen to, so she stood aside silently.
But as soon as Shisiniang stood away, Meng Yunxiang walked over slowly.
Meng Yunxiang is also engaged. The wedding was originally scheduled for last year, but her husband was sent to the border and has not returned until now.
At this time, she still had her hair in a bun, wore a golden flower crown, and two pearl hairpins, and her steps were graceful.
"I haven't seen Miss Zhao for a long time. She looks more and more different from us ordinary people."
When Zhao Fangyu heard this, he immediately sensed the sourness in the words, but he didn't respond. Instead, he looked over with his beautiful eyes without any emotion. Meng Yunxiang couldn't help but bowed, and then she realized something was wrong.
Why did she perform the ceremony so naturally?
The next moment, I heard Shisiniang say, "When you've been away for three days, you should look at someone with new eyes. It's natural for him to change after not seeing him for a long time."
Zhao Fangjin curled the corner of his lips and glanced at Meng Yunxiang, the sarcasm in his eyes seemed real.
Who is Meng Yunxiang? How could she have the nerve to secretly remind them that Zhao Fangyu was born a concubine?
