Chapter 231 Returning the Property in Full
The first thing the princess asked about Zhang Qiong when she woke up was that Wu Yu secretly laughed to herself, but she saw the prince walking in from the door. As soon as the prince entered the door, he saw the appearance of his sister and was more convinced that he had done the right thing.
"Royal sister, your arm is injured, you need to rest well. As for the matter of the prince consort, leave it to my brother."
"Prince consort? Do you mean the Great Chongming King?"
The eldest princess seemed to suddenly remember that she was already married, and her anxious look turned into a hint of sadness. She soon thought of Zhang Qiong who was also getting married, and her heart became even more desolate.
"What Great Chongming King? He's the prince consort. The prince consort broke a leg and is recovering from the injury. Your wedding may have to be postponed for a few months, and it will be a grand ceremony when the time comes."
The eldest princess was totally confused and didn't know what had happened to her younger brother. The crown prince didn't intend to keep her in the dark and told her the general situation.
"You mean, King Chongming married Duoduo?"
The princess looked at the prince in disbelief, and saw an extremely sincere look in his eyes. She raised her flexible arm and pinched her other hand.
"hiss!"
It hurt. She wasn't dreaming. She didn't have to go to Da Chong to marry, and she was about to marry Zhang Qiong. Why was all this so unreal?
"I don't believe it. Won't he be sad?"
The eldest princess got up in a hurry and insisted on having someone take her to see Zhang Qiong. However, when she saw Zhang Qiong lying obediently on the bed resting, she felt like backing out again. She didn't know what to ask and turned around to leave.
"Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
Zhang Qiong was not sleepy to begin with. He could sense someone coming in, and could tell who it was from the light breathing. The princess was startled by Zhang Qiong's sudden question. She didn't dare to turn around and look, but answered with a trembling voice.
"Much better. Where's Hero Zhang?"
"I'm thick-skinned, so it's nothing serious. It's getting late, Princess, you should get some rest!"
"okay."
The princess was very angry after she walked out of Zhang Qiong's room. She was the princess of the Central Plains, how could she back down like this? She should ask him what he thought!
She turned around and wanted to go back, but she really didn't know how to ask about this matter, so she sighed helplessly and planned to find Yun Yido.
Yun Yiduo had dressed up again and was ready to follow Ji Cheng to leave Xiangnan. The wedding party was still stationed on the way, and they had to travel overnight to get back to Dachong to get married.
After dressing up, Qingdai looked at Yun Yido, who looked even more radiant, with a smile on her face.
This time, Miss Eleven was going to marry the king of a country, and from now on she would be the queen. She couldn't believe it.
"Duoduo, it's time to set off."
Ji Cheng didn't wait outside, but watched Qing Dai put makeup on Yun Yiduo. He had gone to meet the bride, but he came back for various reasons, which was a bit inappropriate, so he had to bring her back to Da Chong as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Finally, the eldest princess came to Yun Yidu's room, but she happened to see Yun Yidu walking out in her wedding dress.
"Duoduo."
"Sister Zijun, you're not well yet, why did you come here in person?"
Yun Yiduo saw the princess coming to her, and before anyone could ask her anything, she put her hand on her pulse. The princess was still very weak, and her face was not looking very good.
"Sister Zijun, you need to have a good rest."
"Duoduo, you want to marry into Da Chong in my place? This is not possible."
The princess was very anxious. Although she wanted to be Zhang Qiong's wife, she also knew that Zhang Qiong had Yun Yiduo in his heart. She didn't want the person he loved to marry someone else.
"Don't worry, Sister Zijun, it's okay. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already talked to Ji Cheng. It's getting late, I have to leave."
Yun Yiduo patted the princess's hand and walked out of the room. Ji Cheng and Fulin had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Then Qingdai also bowed to the princess and followed the three of them.
"Princess, Princess Anle has already married, but she came back because she was worried about you."
Liu Shuang supported the princess, and seeing her sad, she hurriedly said a few words to comfort her. Unfortunately, these two words failed to comfort the princess, but instead made her feel more guilty.
"It was me who harmed her."
"No, Your Highness. The person that Prince Ming wanted to marry from the beginning was Princess Anle."
Hearing the princess's self-blame, Fei Luan also hurried over to explain, and told her in detail what happened after the princess was abducted.
The princess silently watched the departing figure, feeling indescribably bitter in her heart. She didn't know whether she felt sad for Zhang Qiong or Yun Yiduo.
At this time, the eighth sister came in from the side door, looked at the eldest princess who was staring at the front in a trance, bowed slightly, and reminded:
"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
"Thank you, Miss Eight."
The eldest princess answered softly with an aloof demeanor, which made the eighth sister smack her lips in amazement. Her posture and manners were truly a model of etiquette, and were many times better than her own eldest sister's pretended elegance.
She shook her head and followed the eldest princess back, holding a medium-sized and exquisite wooden box in her hand.
When the eldest princess returned to her room and sat down, the eighth sister handed her the small box and said:
"Your Highness, this is all the property of Liuyun Sect. It belongs to my eleventh brother-in-law. Oh, no, it was Zhang Qiong who asked me to pass it on to you. He said that Your Highness will have to trouble you to work harder for Liuyun Sect in the future."
The eldest princess was stunned by the eighth sister's words, and even the two palace maids were shocked. Before the wedding, she had already handed over all the family assets. This meant that she wanted to give away the power of housekeeper directly.
"Oh, that's right. Duoduo has always been in charge of these properties. After all, they have been an engaged couple for more than two years, three years. Now that she has married Da Chong, she asked me to return all the properties to Zhang Qiong."
The eldest princess listened to the eighth sister's explanation, and she said with a bright face:
"When I handed the things over to Zhang Qiong just now, he asked me to hand over these properties to the eldest princess for management."
The princess motioned Liu Shuang to take the box. Her expression remained unchanged, but her heart was in turmoil, so much so that her hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly. Zhang Qiong's meaning was very clear, and naturally she acknowledged her identity.
"Doesn't he like Duoduo? Why?"
The eighth sister smiled. She put her hands behind her back, looked at the eldest princess, and said:
"Although I haven't had much contact with him in the past three years, I know that he is a man of integrity. His promises are as good as a thousand pounds. Princess, don't worry. Since he has promised the Crown Prince, he will definitely do what a husband should do."
The princess calmed herself down and spoke softly:
"After all, it was me who harmed him and Duoduo."
"Oh, don't say that. Anyone with a discerning eye can see Ji Cheng's feelings for Duoduo. We sisters were once worried that if Zhang Qiong married Duoduo, she might be murdered by Ji Cheng one day. Now it's good. As long as Duoduo doesn't object, it must be what she wants. Princess, don't worry."
