Chapter 643, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
Yinzhen tightly grasped Lin Jiu's restless little hand on his waist, forcing a smile to respond to Yinzhen in front of him. This made even the usually calm and composed Fourth Prince a little stunned.
"Tenth Brother, congratulations!" Yinzhen's expression softened slightly as he sincerely congratulated Yinzhen.
Yinzhen then smiled honestly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law! Please come inside." He then led Yinzhen into the house.
However, when he passed by Yinzhen, Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at the Ninth Prince a few times before saying: "Hmm... Ninth Brother seems to be much more composed in his actions lately than before."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen subconsciously looked up at Yinzhen. When their eyes met, he clearly saw the sincerity in the other's eyes—it was indeed, as he said, a compliment to him.
For some reason, the same words sounded so strange and awkward coming from the fourth prince's mouth, making Yinzhen feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lin Jiu was completely speechless...
Yinzhi and Mingyu's wedding was very lively, but the second day was even more lively.
Lin Jiu leaned back in the recliner, her legs being massaged by her maid, eating fruit fed to her, and listening to Yu Ling's gossip. She was thoroughly enjoying herself.
Lin Jiu was living a very comfortable life, receiving the treatment due to the Empress Dowager.
Yuling knew that her husband was interested in such matters, so she made a point of inquiring around and told him everything she knew.
Just as she was getting into the conversation, she seemed to remember something and quickly added: "My lady, you'd never guess! The Eighth Prince's concubine's younger sister—the second young lady of the Ma'ertai family—was heartbroken because of the Tenth Prince's wedding and stayed out all night with the Thirteenth Prince. It wasn't until this morning that the Thirteenth Prince personally escorted her home, and it's said she was completely drunk and unconscious! They even rode the same horse!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu, who had been leaning against the bed, suddenly sat up straight. Her beautiful eyes first showed surprise, but in an instant, they turned into understanding.
It turns out that yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Consort Min, the birth mother of the Thirteenth Prince. On this very special day, the Tenth Prince held a grand wedding banquet. No wonder the Thirteenth Prince was depressed and melancholy.
It must be said that Emperor Kangxi was a man who was both passionate and ruthless.
When he was choosing a wedding date for his prince, he completely forgot that the anniversary of Consort Min's death happened to coincide with it.
Therefore, it is understandable that the Thirteenth Prince would drown his sorrows in alcohol; however, it is not right that Ma'ertai Ruoxi would feel so disappointed because of the Tenth Prince's marriage.
Lin Jiu knew perfectly well that Ruoxi had actually traveled from the modern era.
After a little thought, she understood the reason behind the other party's behavior—it was nothing more than the deep frustration of living in this feudal era and facing the supreme and inviolable imperial power.
However, even if you're feeling extremely annoyed, you can't stay out all night with a man!
After all, the concept of a "male best friend" is no longer popular in this day and age.
Even if the two people are completely innocent, spending a night together will likely arouse suspicion.
Just as Lin Jiu was marveling at Ruoxi's outrageous behavior, Yin Tang happened to walk into the room.
He immediately noticed his wife lying there leisurely, looking so carefree and relaxed, which made him envious.
Yinzhen strode forward, took the plate of fruit from the maid, and sat down next to Lin Jiu. He continued to feed her the fruit and said with a smile, "Eighth Brother has really brought himself a lot of trouble!"
His words revealed a hint of schadenfreude.
Since deciding to leave Yinzhi's camp, Yintang seems to have become more interested in watching the excitement and being a spectator.
