Chapter 291 Why gloat over others’ misfortune?

"Let Mr. Zhong go to entertain them and tell them that the king is not feeling well and is not suitable to meet guests." Zhou Chang evaded the question and sent Duofu Duobao away.

Not long after Duofu Duobao ran out, Zhong Yu came quickly.

"Not right, not right..." Seeing Zhou Chang still gasping for breath, Zhong Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness, you can't do this. Especially at this time, you can't avoid seeing me."

Zhou Chang didn't expect that Zhong Yu not only didn't help, but also came back to her. However, there were some things that she couldn't tell Zhong Yu.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm not feeling well today, but I can't neglect Mr. Yuan. No matter what, please help me send Mr. Yuan away first." Zhou Chang held his head and pretended to have a headache.

Zhong Yu saw through it at a glance and ignored it: "Your Highness, things have come to this point. Although it is not very good, it is also... After all, the imperial decree has been issued, and the next thing must be done."

Ever since receiving the imperial decree granting the marriage, Zhong Yu was as worried as Zhou Chang.

But there are some things that Zhong Yuyi cannot say clearly.

Now that things have come to this, complaining and blaming will be of no use, the only thing we can do is face it calmly.

Zhou Chang buried his head in his arms and ignored him.

Zhong Yu had no choice but to continue, "Your Highness has been thinking hard about this for many days, and I also think that although this matter seems strange, it does not seem to be deliberate. The Yuan family has been inextricably linked to our Prince Yi's Mansion, so Your Highness has no reason to refuse the marriage. If someone is gloating over the misfortune, there must be, but if it is deliberate, what benefit can he get?"

"To gloat over someone else's misfortune?" Zhou Chang looked up suddenly. "Who would gloat over someone else's misfortune? Why would they gloat over someone else's misfortune?"

Only she herself knew that this was an "accident", but why did others think it was a bad thing?

“No, no, I used the wrong word. It should be yes, yes…” Zhong Yuyi reacted and waved his hands in panic, but could not find a reasonable explanation.

Zhou Chang was silent, and Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness was also silent.

Finally, Zhong Yu had to change the subject: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan has been invited to the main hall. It would be best for Your Majesty to meet him in person."

"Why do you have to ask me to meet you in person? Just say that I am not feeling well." Zhou Chang's resistance did not ease at all.

Zhong Yu sighed, "Alas, the Yuan family and our Prince Yi's Mansion have become relatives now. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has just passed, and Master Yuan has come to visit in person. There must be something wrong. How can the prince not close the door and not see us? Even if he is not feeling well, he should come to visit. If the prince does not meet us in person, it would be rude and unsafe. Master Yuan will inevitably think too much."

If Prince Yi Fengming marries Yuan Qi, then Yuan Yu will suddenly become Prince Yi's father-in-law.

Normally speaking, it is indeed not right to be rude, but Zhou Chang has no experience in how to face his future father-in-law in both his lifetimes.

She wanted to step back and let Prince Yi's consciousness come out for "negotiation", but ever since he woke up on the third day of the Chinese New Year, Prince Yi's consciousness seemed to be hiding on purpose and refused to show up.

Zhou Chang could only force his way in, but he had never thought about this before. Now that he thought about it, his brain almost shut down. He might as well ask for help: "How about asking Aunt Jing to come out and deal with it?"

When it comes to the arranged marriage, Aunt Jing is the happiest person in the entire Prince Yi's Mansion.

With the mentality of an old mother, she finally waited for Prince Yi to get married, and she was joyful and smiling all day long.

"Not right, not right..." Zhong Yu rejected it again, "It's the same logic. It's still impolite. It's better for the prince to meet him in person."

Zhou Chang knew that he could avoid the first day but not the fifteenth.

Today is the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Finally standing up, I had to bite the bullet and ask, "Sir, what attitude do you think I should take?"

"Just leave it the same as before. Just be polite and don't be too enthusiastic." Zhong Yu gave simple guidance.

"Enthusiasm?" How could Zhou Chang be enthusiastic?

But, how can it be the same as before?

Can we go back to the way things were before?

Zhong Yu also knew what Zhou Chang was worried about: "Your Highness, don't worry. You are a prince, and you are different from ordinary people. Moreover, in this marriage, to put it bluntly, the Yuan family is more than marrying up. According to etiquette, even if the officials and dignitaries marry their daughters to the royal family, they can only bow their heads and dare not treat them as equals, let alone your situation."

Zhou Chang had not yet realized this identity advantage, and it was not the focus of her problem.

I had met Yuan Yu a few times before and always felt that he was a very amiable elder.

If she felt embarrassed now and wanted to use her status to pressure others, she couldn't do it.

But their conversation had already wasted time, and it would be bad to keep the other party waiting for too long.

Zhou Chang had already decided to face it, so he didn't want to delay any longer and walked out: "Since Mr. Zhong said so, please accompany me, so that if there is anything wrong, please help me."

"Yes." Zhong Yuranzi agreed.

"Yuan Qi and Wen Fei are a perfect match, Yuan Qi and Wen Fei are a perfect match..." Zhou Chang had been repeating this sentence in his mind over and over again over the past few days, muttering it out loud unconsciously.

Zhong Yu, who was accompanying him, didn't hear clearly, but was worried and reminded him: "Your Highness doesn't look well, you should relax for a while. This matter is an order from the emperor, and it can't be reversed. In the future, we can't predict what will happen if we make adjustments."

Be flexible and adaptable?

Yes……

Zhou Chang's mind brightened. He could not disobey the imperial edict, but he could still divorce after marrying her.

As long as Yuan Qi is given freedom again, she and Wen Qingyan can still be together.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt enlightened, and the haze that had been bothering me for half a month was swept away.

Even my walking became lighter.

I feel confused when watching this clock.

Zhou Chang brought Zhong Yu into the main hall of the central palace.

Yuan Yu was sitting at the lower right side drinking tea and waiting, with two people who looked like managers following him, but they did not congratulate him.

Aunt Jing arrived early and specially served the best snacks and tea to entertain Yuan Yu.

When Yuan Yu saw Zhou Chang coming in, he quickly stood up and bowed solemnly as before.

"Master Yuan, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Zhou Chang had prepared himself mentally before coming in, trying his best to be as normal as before.

Yuan Yu did not sit down, but waited until Zhou Chang sat down in the upper right seat, then bowed and said, "I received an imperial decree on the first day of the first lunar month, and my daughter De was adopted as the adopted daughter by the old Princess Pingning. It is a great honor for me to marry your Highness. The Yuan family is honored."

"Mr. Yuan should have also received the title of 'An Tai Merchant' bestowed by His Majesty. He no longer needs to call himself a 'commoner'." Zhou Chang could see that Yuan Yu was truly happy, but she really didn't know how to respond.

Yuan Yu was wearing an indigo blue and black gold robe today, with a happy look on his face, as the saying goes, one feels refreshed when happy things happen.

However, it doesn’t matter whether others are happy or not. The most important thing is that Yuan Qi cannot be happy.

When he thought of this, Zhou Chang felt as if his heart was run over by a wheel.
