Two days passed in a flash, and in the end, the group of people still returned to the Capital City.
They did not immediately start their marriage as soon as they returned. After ten or so days, they rode fast horses and galloped back to the capital without even giving up on the rain. They had returned to the capital several days in advance as they wished.
Shen Qianqian and Su Nanxing's wedding day was set at the fourteenth of August.
Today was the twelfth of the eighth month, so there were still two days left.
In these two days, I heard rumors that I will bring Shen Qianqian into the palace, and when that happens, I will invite her into the palace from the palace.
The carriage had stopped by the entrance to the imperial palace.
Then, Su Nanxing sent someone to send Shen Qianqian to the palace, and sent him to the Ninth Prince Palace.
He had never left Lin Xuecha's line of sight.
He didn't even reject those who wanted to send Shen Qianqian to the palace.
At that time, Lin Xuecha was smiling, but that smile did not reach his eyes.
"County Princess Nanli came here from afar, is this how you treat her?"
Su Nanxing pondered for a moment, before replying mysteriously.
"Her home is not this king."
Lin Xuecha looked at him, her eyes flickering with uncertainty and puzzlement.
"What does Your Highness mean by this?"
What did he mean by 'her home', was not him?
He was already someone who wanted to marry him. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
She would ask back, and the man would not be surprised.
However, he touched her soft hair and said ambiguously with a doting smile.
"You are this king, the only woman. If she belongs to this king, doesn't that mean this king will break the promise I made to you?"
When he approached her, she could clearly see the deep affection in his eyes.
He smiled. "Or is it that you are willing to part with This King as the home of another woman?"
Lin Xuecha's bright eyes flickered between darkness and light, her heart fluctuating slightly.
She lowered her eyes and kept silent.
The man lifted her lowered eyes and met his own.
"Why aren't you answering This King, huh?"
Lin Xuecha was silent for a few seconds, then she chuckled.
"It's you. You want me to marry someone else? How do you want me to answer that?"
The man stared at her with a complicated expression. "If you say that this marriage won't succeed, then what about it?"
Lin Xuecha removed the big hand that was pressing on his lower jaw.
Her eyes were emotionless as she replied with a faint smile.
"Does Your Highness not know that there are no 'ifs' in this world?"
The man finally lowered the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Xuecha and didn't continue asking.
The atmosphere in the car abruptly quieted down.
He did not speak, and she did not speak.
When the carriage stopped, Lin Xuecha lifted the carriage's curtain and got off.
The carriage stopped at Ninth Prince Manor.
Lin Xuecha frowned.
Then, just as she was about to turn around, her gaze unwittingly swept past the main entrance of Ninth Prince's Palace.
On the door, there were large and red words of joy as if unexpectedly, it was much more eye-catching than before.
Lin Xuecha stared at the word happy for a long time.
Su Nanxing walked over, wrapped his arm around her slender waist and whispered: "You're not going in?"
She responded for a moment before shaking her head.
"I haven't seen father for nearly a month. Father must be missing me. I want to go back home, so I won't be going in to visit."
Qian Wu, who was waiting at the side, slightly lowered his eyes.
Su Nanxing was silent for a while, and then said loudly.
"This King will go back with you. After all, your father-in-law was not very happy when This King took you away."
Lin Xuecha glanced at him.
It's better for your highness to stay in your residence obediently and be your groom, in case your father sees you and gets angry. When he gets angry, he might accidentally lose his strength and injure you, and at that time, Emperor will blame you.
Su Nanxing's lips curled up into a smile, and he did not say anything bad, but only persisted, "This king will send you back to your residence."
Lin Xuecha's eyelids twitched, and helplessly glanced at him: "As long as you're happy."
Su Nanxing laughed a few times deeply.
Lin Xuecha had already struggled free from his embrace, turned, and boarded the carriage.
Seeing that, Qian Wu pursed his lips and said softly, "If the princess returns to the Marquis Anping Palace, then Master's previous actions of forcefully taking her away, wouldn't that be …."
Wouldn't it be useless?
Perhaps, the people of the world were already mocking Lin Xuecha, and had lost their beloved.
It was because Jing Ran wanted to marry a foreign woman, and even mentioned her name, so he wanted her to accompany him.
But, he was indeed the one who understood Su Nanxing the most.
His master's real goal was not to, as Lin Xuecha, who knew of this news, had too much time to think.
He really wanted to hurt her heart on purpose.
The more she thought about it, the worse the situation would become.
Even on the way to get married, she had already let go of her mistress. As long as he was married, no matter what happened, no matter what, she would break off the engagement with him.
If she was left alone at the Capital City, with a Marquis Anping by her side, it was possible that even before her master returned, Lin Xuecha and the Marquis Anping would have already joined hands and cancelled their marriage.
What should he do, Master?!
With her master's personality, he was already half-forcing her and half-destroying her innocence. Only then could he have a nominal relationship with her.
He definitely would not, and would not let Lin Xuecha go.
Although this time, Master's methods were a bit selfish and a bit despicable …
However, regardless of whether Lin Xuecha's reputation was good or bad, as long as his master was able to become the Ninth Five Great Masters, at that time, who would dare to say that the Tianchen Kingdom Empress was bad?
It didn't matter if his reputation was good or bad.
But now, looking at the appearance of Master, it seemed that she was going to send Lin Xuecha back to the Marquis Anping Palace.
How could this be …!
What if Lin Xuecha was instigated by the Marquis Anping and ran into the palace to break off the engagement with him?
The expression in Su Nanxing's eyes was faint.
In the end, he sighed softly.
"In the end, it's This King who forced her too tightly …"
Actually, it was good that she wasn't here. He would explain things to her when things were over.
Presumably, she would understand his intentions.
It was a bit unfortunate when they returned.
It was time to eat at the Marquis Anping Mansion.
Everyone was there.
Lin Xueyu also ate at the table.
Everyone bowed to Su Nanxing.
Lin Xuecha then went forward and bowed to Marquis Anping and Marquis Anping's Wife.
"Greetings, father. Mother. Father. Mother. Good morning."
Marquis Anping glanced at her expressionlessly, before giving a faint grunt.
Not much.
Su Nanxing also nodded slightly towards the two of them.
Just that, before he finished moving, he heard the Marquis Anping's cold words.
"Your Highness' great gift, I'm afraid we common folk cannot endure it. A mere shack would not be able to accommodate Your Highness, this great Buddha. Your Highness, please go back."
Su Nanxing's movements, suddenly stopped.
He quietly looked at Marquis Anping …
He was quiet as he looked at Marquis Anping.
Lin Xuecha frowned slightly.
Everyone said that soldiers were straightforward and irritable. It had been almost a month, but Father was still angry like Su Nanxing.
Her thoughts spun, and just as she wanted to say something, she heard Marquis Anping's berating voice entering her ears.
"What are you waiting for? The princess has already returned to her residence. Why aren't you all rushing her back to her room so that you can close your doors and think!"
Thinking in seclusion?
She had just returned, why did she have to close her doors and think about it?
Lin Xuecha was startled.
Back then, wasn't she being carried away forcibly?
If it wasn't her wish, father would have clearly seen it as well. Why did he want her to shut up to reflect on it?
She frowned and said, "Daddy, Snow Tea …"
"There's no need to say more."
Marquis Anping raised his hand. Without hesitation, he cut off Lin Xuecha's words and spoke to the servant who was waiting by the side without even looking at her.
"Hurry up and send the princess back to her courtyard."
Lin Xuecha looked at Su Nanxing, although he wanted to marry her, she was truly furious.
But, in the end, it was the person that remained in his heart, his father's temper was not good, if he was truly enraged, and attacked him, while Su Nanxing's internal injuries were not yet completely healed, it could only be said that his internal injuries were not too bad, but so what?
She bit her lip and insisted on staying. "But Daddy, we haven't had any tea yet."
Marquis Anping finally turned and looked at her.
His eyes were filled with disappointment as he spoke with a stern voice and a stern expression.
"Go back to the courtyard and eat. I will send some people to bring you lunch. Don't provoke my patience."
Marquis Anping's Wife quietly watched from the side.
Seeing this, a smile that was not too obvious appeared on her pink lips.
Lowering her head, she picked up a large prawn and leisurely peeled off its shell.
Lin Xueyu advised slowly, "It has been hot recently, and everyone is easily irritable. Elder sister should return to the courtyard first, don't disobey father anymore, if father gets angry, everyone's heart will definitely not feel good, and elder sister will feel even worse."
Lin Xuecha pursed her lips without saying a word, and Marquis Anping scolded again.
"Hurry up and go back!"
Su Nanxing stood with his hands behind his back. He indifferently raised his eyes to take a glance at Lin Xuecha, and saw her slightly lowering her black pupils, as if she was hesitating about something.
He then began to slowly walk towards her.
Seeming to have sensed his approach, Lin Xuecha slowly raised his eyes. The man smiled at her, with his big hands by his side. Very naturally, he grabbed her hand.
Lin Xuecha was startled.
The man beside him said.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry. Su Nanxing will bring her back to her room right away."
Finished speaking, he held Lin Xuecha's hand, and was about to turn around and walk towards her courtyard.
Marquis Anping was finally angry.
However, he seemed to be quite afraid of Su Nanxing, and did not make too much noise.
After all, there was always a difference between the king and his subjects.
However, from his words, it seemed as though he wasn't afraid of his people, but rather his status.
"Your Highness please slow down, there is a difference between males and females, even if this lass and your highness are engaged, this lass is not yet married to you, how can you go to her room to take a look?!"
"At the end of the day, you have to marry. This King will take a look in advance. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Marquis Anping's face was ashen.
"Of course it's not appropriate, as the father of the little girl, if there's anyone who wants to do something that does not conform to the usual etiquette, I will naturally stop them. His Highness has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since young, it's better if His Highness does not make an exception."
