White Hedge Dream

Chapter 268 A flash

When Mrs. Wu stepped into the palace of Prince Chu, the King of Chu personally welcomed her.

The young man is wearing a formal dress, standing refreshingly in the summer, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Wu was originally reluctant to take on this job, but after meeting with the King of Chu two or three times, she felt happy about this young man, especially compared with her old man, whether it was his appearance or his behavior, there was no difference at all. Dandy look.

What's wrong with marrying a maid? That's because the King of Chu has no parents and has lived a secret life until now. Princess Jinyu and Shangguan's Prince Consort are not the ones raising children. If the King of Chu were born in their Wu family, he would definitely be a handsome young man who is not inferior to the Dongyang Hou Shizi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Wu." Li Yu bowed respectfully.

Madam Wu returned the favor with a smile, feeling a little unhappy when she thought that Mrs. Dongyang Hou had rejected the proposal.

"The Marquis of Dongyang's wife was so arrogant that everyone took her in. It took just a little effort to find her an adopted daughter, but she actually refused," she said.

Li Yu looked a little stunned: "I refused." He hesitated and asked, "What about Miss Bai?"

Lady Wu thought to herself that Little Lady Bai also refused at that time, but it was not surprising. Mrs. Dongyang Hou had a weird look on her face after Little Lady Bai came out. She could tell that Little Lady Bai was smart, so she must have She knew very well that Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked down upon her, so in order not to humiliate herself, she took the initiative to refuse.

"Ms. Bai is not affected, she is calm and composed." Mrs. Wu praised with a smile, and added, "As soon as you entered the door, you asked me why Your Highness hasn't been here these days."

Li Yu's smile spread out in his eyes, with a bit of expectation: "I can go see her when the application deadline comes."

Even after the child was born, she was still looking forward to seeing her. Mrs. Wu even sighed, "A maid is just a maid. It's not easy to find a lover. King Chu doesn't need to make any achievements in his life."

"Yes." She said with a smile, and called the maid, "I will tell His Highness what you need to prepare for the application period, this intermarriage document."

Li Yu immediately took over: "I ask your Majesty to write."

Mrs. Wu was stunned, this ceremony was really grand.

"The betrothal gifts are all ready, and they are all the specifications that a prince should have." Li Yu said with a smile, and asked Cai Songnian to get the gift list and show it to Mrs. Wu, "Madam, let's see if there is anything else that needs to be added."

Mrs. Wu was speechless again and sighed: "That's enough, that's enough."

Li Yu handed over another gift list: "This is the dowry I have prepared. Madam also helped me to look at it. It is considered decent."

The preparations are really complete, this is really going to be a decent wedding, Mrs. Wu thought to herself, the King of Chu really cherishes this maid and child.

Mrs. Wu also stopped being careless and looked at it carefully.

"The married daughters of powerful families in our capital don't have such luxury." She said with a smile.

It seems that although the King of Chu has been attached to Princess Jinyu and Shangguan's consort over the years, he has also accumulated a lot of wealth.

This young man is indeed not as dandy as the rumors say.

As an adult descendant of the royal family, it's not a bad thing to befriend him.

"Although there is only one month left before the wedding." Mrs. Wu Su Rong said, "Since we, the Wu family, have accepted His Highness's request, we must handle it in a comprehensive and comprehensive manner."

Li Yu bowed deeply to Mrs. Wu: "Thank you, Mrs. Wu."

After seeing Mrs. Wu off, Li Yu stood in the corridor with a look of regret.

It's a pity that Mrs. Dongyang Hou refused to recognize A Li as her adopted daughter, otherwise it would be great for A Li and Zhou Jingyun to be brothers and sisters.

However, he breathed out again and smiled on his face. In one month, he would marry A Li.

From then on, A Li lived with him in the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

Li Yu looked at several servants in the courtyard who were setting up ladders to trim flowers and trees. Now the Prince of Chu's palace was busy day and night with various repairs and decoration of the wedding room.

One month is still too long.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye Zhou Jingyun was able to get out of bed and walk around.

But Bai Li was still walking as if he was walking out of bed for the first time. He carefully stretched out his hands and followed. Zhou Jingyun was a little amused: "It's not my leg that I hurt."

Bai Li shook his head: "What is hurt is the heart, and it affects the whole body."

However, seeing that Zhou Jingyun took a few steps and his steps were steady, he felt relieved and helped him sit down on the Arhat bed.

"It's better to rest and don't move around too much." Bai Li said, turning to call Chunyue, and found that Chunyue was not there, and the courtyard was particularly quiet today, without the sound of her daughter's laughter.

"Forgot?" Zhou Jingyun chuckled from the side, "Chunyue went to Prince Chu's Mansion with her mother today."

Mrs. Zhuang and her nanny, Mrs. Xu, also moved there first to familiarize themselves with the environment, so that their daughter would not have to cry when she was pregnant.

The official date is tomorrow.

According to the rules, the woman's family had to make a bed in the new house, so Mrs. Dongyang Hou went to the Prince Chu's Mansion.

Bai Li smiled and said, "I really forgot that Chunyue told me when she went out." He stood up and took out the washed peaches, sat on the Arhat bed and cut them with a knife, "It's here so soon."

"Actually, it was very slow." Zhou Jingyun said, "He came step by step during the interview period, decorated the new house, and prepared for the wedding banquet. We were..."

At this point, he coughed slightly.

It's not appropriate to bring it up at this time.

They were all fake, and he was even better.

Bai Li had already raised his eyebrows and answered: "Isn't that right? We talked about getting married that night, and we entered the bridal chamber three days later." As he smiled, he picked up a cut piece of peach and handed it over, "I didn't even know there was a chance to get married." So many steps.”

Yes, the wedding he gave her was too perfunctory and hasty. Zhou Jingyun looked at the peach that was handed over. The fork was small and held in Bai Li's hand. If he reached out to pick it up, there would be nowhere to take it. Then...

He subconsciously leaned forward slightly, took the peach with his mouth and ate it.

"Yes, I wronged you then." He said.

Bai Li said: "How can you say you have wronged me?" Seeing Zhou Jingyun smile, "I should say you have wronged the prince. At that time, the prince gave up his insistence on not marrying for many years for me."

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "I also ask for what I want."

Bai Li picked up a piece of peach and ate it, sighing softly: "It's so fast, more than a year has passed." He said and smiled, "I'm getting married again."

Zhou Jingyun smiled and suddenly said: "I don't know what night it is, so I urge the balcony to get closer to the mirror."

Bai Li laughed loudly: "Sir, before the wedding receptionist arrives, you have already started reciting poems to encourage women to make up."

While they were talking and laughing, there were small footsteps in the courtyard. The two turned around and saw Mrs. Dongyang Hou and Xu's mother Chunyue slowly walking in.

"Madam is back." Bai Li smiled and stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at the woman who came out of the room briskly, stood in the corridor, smiled and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

She groaned inwardly.

Outside the courtyard gate, I heard the two of them talking and laughing non-stop, and they are still laughing now, both of them are heartless!

"I dare not take it seriously." She said calmly, "It is my honor to serve Princess Chu."

Bai Li smiled and lifted the curtain: "Princess Chu, please open the curtain for Madam."

Looking at the real and fake joke, Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at her and stepped forward. Zhou Jingyun got off the Arhat bed and stood to salute.

"Oh, Your Majesty, don't worry about this." Mother Xu hurriedly helped him.

If you are not filial when you should be filial, why are you pretending to be a filial son? Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at him and sat down on the chair.

Chun Yue was busy pouring tea, but Bai Li had already gone ahead and whispered to her: "You are tired too, take a rest." Chun Yue smiled and watched Bai Li personally serve tea to Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

"We have done everything we need to do." Mrs. Dongyang Hou said, "Tomorrow evening the Prince of Chu's palace will come to welcome the bride. The Prince of Chu has also made arrangements for the female relatives to see the bride off, and the maids and chamberlains who will serve will be here early tomorrow morning."

Bai Li thanked me again: "I'm sorry for you, madam."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou smiled half-heartedly: "I'm not tired. People flatter me when I come in and out, and I receive a lot of gifts."

Bai Li smiled and said, "That's good. Madam can't contribute but she still has to pay."

Zhou Jingyun asked from the side: "Who in our family will attend tomorrow?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glanced at him: "This matter is just a place borrowed by the King of Chu from our family. It is not a happy event for our family, and we don't need to take care of it, so none of our relatives and friends will come. Only our family members will join in the fun. In addition, And your aunt, she is worried about you and wants to save your face."

Zhou Jingyun said hello with a smile.

Okay, okay, okay, I just knew that I said yes, but I didn't know what was good about it. Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at him, and then looked at Bai Li's smiling face, not wanting to see these two people at all.

"Okay, I'm leaving." She stood up and left.

Mother Xu signaled to Zhou Jingyun and Bai Li not to give too many gifts, and she hurried away after them.

"How is it over there?" Bai Li asked Chunyue, "Are you still used to it?"

Chunyue nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very considerate. The house he prepared for my daughter is similar to our home."

The child didn't even notice the sudden change of place.

Bai Li was a little surprised, then nodded with a smile: "He is quite careful."

Chunyue hesitated for a moment, then swallowed what she wanted to say.

"Are there many people there? How is the layout?" Zhou Jingyun asked from the side.

Chunyue glanced at him and said: "There are many people, many of His Royal Highness the King of Chu's companions have come to help. It is very lively, the decoration is very festive, and there are flowers everywhere."

As a maid in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, she had seen many weddings of noble families, but she was still dazzled by King Chu's wedding arrangements.

It’s just, isn’t it a lie? But the King of Chu was so careful that he really couldn't tell the slightest bit of fraud.

She was in a daze and nervous at times, unable to tell the truth from the lie.

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "That's good, it will definitely look good tomorrow."

Bai Li glanced at him: "You are not allowed to go out to watch the excitement. You have just recovered from your injury, but your strength has not yet been restored."

As soon as he said this, newspaper reporter Shilin came outside.

"Why are you here today?" Bai Li asked as Zhang Shilin came in.

Since Zhou Jingyun got better, he was mainly diagnosed and treated by Taiyuan Hospital. He visited him every five days, but Zhang Shilin stopped interfering.

However, when the news about King Chu's marriage spread, Zhang Shilin couldn't help but come over. He had seen the child at Zhou Jingyun's place, but where was the maid?

Bai Li pointed out to him openly and said that the maid was him.

Zhang Shilin had a guess but didn't expect it to be true, and was at a loss for the moment.

Bai Li told him that he and Zhou Jingyun were originally married in a fake way. He changed his identity because he had no choice but to marry the King of Chu in a fake way. In short, it was all fake, so he told Dr. Zhang not to think too much about it.

Although Zhang Shilin looked more confused, he left without thinking or asking any more questions. He hasn't been here again in the past half month. Why is he today?

"We haven't seen you for a few days. I just happened to be passing by and came to see the prince." Zhang Shilin said with a smile. As he spoke, he first looked at Bai Li's face and then looked at Zhou Jingyun's face.

Zhou Jingyun smiled and stretched out his hand: "Doctor Zhang is here to diagnose and diagnose your pulse."

As expected, Zhang Shilin sat down to check his pulse, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The prince is recovering well, so I'm relieved." After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now."

As soon as Chun Yue brought the tea, Bai Li was also stunned: "I have to have a cup of tea no matter what."

Zhang Shilin said with a smile: "I still have a patient waiting. I won't stay any longer. I'll come back another day." He walked to the door and told Zhou Jingyun, "Your Majesty, you can walk around in the yard. You must not be affected by the wind. You must carefully nurse him again." It will take months to bear fruit.”

Bai Li said to Zhou Jingyun, "Look, Doctor Zhang also said you can't go out."

Zhou Jingyun nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll note it down."

Zhang Shilin then walked out, and Bai Li chased him out to see him off.

"Doctor Zhang, is the prince really okay?" she asked.

Zhang Shilin saw that her eyes were full of worry. The so-called doctor did not knock on the door. This time it was his behavior that was inappropriate, so he said with a bit of embarrassment: "He is fine, but I have something to do. I know that your marriage to the King of Chu is fake, but, I'm still worried, worried about something going wrong between you and the Crown Prince, and his current body can't withstand bad moods, so I came to take a look."

He saw with his own eyes that the relationship between Zhou Jingyun and Bai Li was not fake. It was uncomfortable to watch the one he loved marry someone else because he had no choice but to leave the one he loved to marry someone else, even if it was fake.

Bai Li was stunned, then smiled, lowered his head and saluted: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

"No, no, I'm rude." Zhang Shilin said hurriedly.

Bai Li shook his head: "It was our truth and lies that made you confused, Dr. Zhang. Not only did you not criticize us, you also cared about us." After saying this, he bowed solemnly again.

It turns out that not everyone in the world dislikes her. First there is Zhou Jingyun and his family, and then there is Zhang Shilin, who originally had no family ties.

As Mrs. Zhuang said, there are all kinds of good and evil in the world. She should not hate the world or people just because she encounters evil.

This world is full of different things, and you should enjoy it as a human being.

Darkness enveloped the earth, and the lights indoors were all turned off.

Bai Li was lying on the Arhat bed outside, unable to sleep.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was she doing the night before her fake marriage to Zhou Jingyun? What are you thinking about? Are you tossing and turning like this and unable to sleep?

It seems that I went to bed very early.

It seemed like he wasn't thinking about anything.

There's nothing to think about, it's just fake.

Bai Li turned over and sat up, looking towards the bedroom over there.

"Zhou Jingyun." She called softly.

The sound was sent out gently in the night, and the next moment there was a sound sent back gently.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Li was silent.

The voice over there came again: "Are you hungry? There must be midnight snacks in the kitchen, please..."

"No, I'm not hungry." Bai Li interrupted.

Zhou Jingyun's voice paused and said, "Can't you sleep? Do you want me to read to you?"

Bai Li was inexplicably choked on the words that came to his lips.

There was silence on both sides of the night.

Just when Zhou Jingyun thought he had fallen asleep, Bai Li's voice came softly again.

"Zhou Jingyun." She called softly again, "You know, it's a fake marriage."

Zhou Jingyun looked at the bed tent in the dark night, and the corners of his mouth curved.

"I know," he said softly.
