Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Zhao Zhuoxi learned that she came to worship at the Guanyin Temple today.

I came to the temple and waited early in the morning.

Zhao Zhuoxi was extremely worried about Jiang Jiu going to Zhou's house.

But Jiang Jiu was stubborn about it, and there was nothing he could do.

When they entered the provincial government on the second day of the first lunar month, Zhao Zhuoxi wished he could go with them that very day.

Tiantian asked Lu Ming to go to Zhou's house to find Nishang to inquire about Jiang Jiu's news.

However, the mansion is deep, as deep as the sea. Zhao Zhuoxi cannot get in, and Lu Ming cannot always get information.

Finally, Jiang Jiu had the opportunity to go out, which made Zhao Zhuoxi very happy.

He can see Jiang Jiu now to ease his longing for her.

Jiang Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing his anxious look, he lowered his head and smiled slightly.

In fact, when Old Lady Zhou and Shen talked about her marriage with the Chang sisters, Jiang Jiu had doubts. Why couldn't she be married to the Ninth Prince Zhao Zhuoxi?

Jiang Jiu feels pretty good about both age and temperament.

But the reality is that in the eyes of the Zhou family, Zhao Zhuoxi is a useless pawn and is of no use at all.

After returning, Jiang Jiu thought again that the reason why the Zhou family took the Chang sisters in was mainly because there were too few daughters in the Zhou family's grandchildren's generation.

Only Zhou Yaqian was left in the first wife's family, and there was no way for her to marry into a minister of the court.

Zhou Xiang originally wanted Zhou Shi'an to marry the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo. Now that Zhou Shi'an is dead, he has no son, let alone a grandson of the right age.

However, the Marquis of Zhenguo still has sons and grandsons, so Prime Minister Zhou can marry his daughter or granddaughter to them.

Jiang Jiu discovered that in ancient times, people no longer valued free love, and marriage was just a tool for aristocratic families. After becoming in-laws, the interests of both sides were aligned, and the bond became tighter.

But Jiang Jiu...she has always made her own decisions about her marriage.

After entering the Guanyin Temple with Shen and others, Zhao Zhuoxi followed closely.

Jiang Jiu was not the only one who saw the ninth prince Zhao Zhuoxi. Chang Pingping was in the crowd. When she saw Zhao Zhuoxi, her heart started pounding.

It was fate that Chang Pingping met Zhao Zhuoxi.

When she met Zhao Zhuoxi for the first time at Mrs. Chang's banquet, she fell in love with him at first sight.

However, Mrs. Chang, like everyone else, looked down on Zhao Zhuoxi.

Chang Pingping didn't understand why the ninth prince was not valued by others.

Anyway, she thought Zhao Zhuoxi was good-looking and the noble ninth prince, which was good.

Later, someone told him that he was in poor health.

Chang Pingping is a grown-up girl after all, and she has no idea what they say about the man's poor health. She still thinks Zhao Zhuoxi is handsome and likes him.

But when she thought about her mother's death and the fact that she and her sister couldn't get married until three years later, and she didn't know what the situation would be like in three years, her heart gradually grew cold.

Now, when I see Zhao Zhuoxi again, my heart still beats like a deer.

His eyes unconsciously followed Zhao Zhuoxi's figure, but he gradually discovered that Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes were always on Jiang Jiu.

Yes, Jiang Jiu, the one who was once impersonated by someone, was actually the daughter of the Chang family like her, and was once a maid in the Prince Qi's mansion.

Could it be that they are already together?

Chang Pingping's eyes looking at Jiang Jiu became increasingly cold.

When she saw Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi appear together under the Yue Lao tree, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and jealousy grew like a blade of grass...

*******

Under the Yue Lao Tree

Jiang Jiu looked up at the Albizia Julibrissin tree hung with red ribbons and clicked his tongue.

"You think this tree won't grow with so many things hanging on it?"

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled: "If some are hanging, the monks in the temple will clean it up."

"Ah? Then their requests were in vain." Jiang Jiu was puzzled.

When Zhao Zhuoxi saw Jiang Jiu looking up, his little face was illuminated by the sunlight, his skin was crystal clear and white with a rosy glow, so he wanted to pinch it.

"They all pay attention to the Buddhist fate. Besides, some of those who have been together for a long time would have already started a family. This is just a beautiful wish."

Yes, good wishes.

Jiang Jiu looked at the red silk in his hand and stood under the tree to look for a location.

"Hey……"

She threw it towards the tree with all her strength, but found that she was too short to throw it up.

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled and stretched out his hand: "I'll help you throw it to the top of the tree."

The higher you throw the wishing card, the closer it is to heaven and the more likely your wish will come true.

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "You want to peek at my wish."

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled with a guilty look on his face: "I let you see mine, so you let me see yours."

Jiang Jiu pouted and refused: "No, it won't work if someone sees it."

But Jiang Jiu still wanted to take a peek at Zhao Zhuoxi's wish.

After being discovered by Zhao Zhuoxi, he smiled slyly, which was so cute.

Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly said, "I have a good idea. If I hold you, you can throw the sign much higher."

It was indeed a solution. Zhao Zhuoxi didn't say anything and just hugged Jiang Jiu's legs and picked him up like a child.

Sure enough, Jiang Jiu threw the wishing card high.

But when Zhao Zhuoxi put Jiang Jiu down, he was unwilling to let go.

"Xiaojiu, I miss you..."

Jiang Jiu was held in Zhao Zhuoxi's arms, and his big hands stroked her slender waist. He felt that her waist was not as wide as his hands, and he could hold it in one go.

Looking around and seeing no one else around, Jiang Jiu also put his arm around Zhao Zhuoxi's waist.

"Then what should I do? I can't give up halfway. After all, it's for you that I moved into the Zhou family."

At this moment, Zhao Zhuoxi only hated that he was not strong enough and really wanted to rebel.

But he knew that he couldn't alert the enemy if he didn't have enough strength.

"I don't need you to do too much for me, Xiaojiu. Just having you by my side is enough..."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhuoxi thought of Ye Guzhou in Sucheng Hot Spring Villa.

"If I had to live like Ye Guzhou, without you by my side, living alone for so many years, I would rather have nothing and just be with you."

Jiang Jiu's mind moved slightly, and just as he was about to get close to Zhao Zhuoxi's chest, he suddenly heard a slight "cough" and pushed Zhao Zhuoxi away.

Her face flushed, and she said angrily, "Someone is watching..."

Zhao Zhuoxi had actually noticed someone peeping at them a long time ago, but he just didn't say anything.

When he saw the lotus pink dress in the corner, he knew who was peeping at them.

"Are you going to stay in the temple tonight?"

Jiang Jiu nodded. "Three people from the Zhou family died in succession. They said that something dirty had entered the Zhou family and that they were unclean. They had to light eternal lamps in the temple, chant scriptures, and meditate for three days. They wouldn't even go back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Zhao Zhuoxi snorted coldly: "I was told that the temple's backyard was closed for three days. It turns out it was because of Prime Minister Zhou. As expected, he is extremely powerful."

During the first month of the year, people come here to burn incense and worship Buddha, but some also want to stay, chant scriptures, meditate, and pray for the souls of the dead.

But no one else has this right to order the abbot of the temple, only Zhou Xiang has it.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhuoxi is a prince, and no matter how noble Prime Minister Zhou is, the temple is still a royal temple.

"We will have three days to spend together."

It’s a happy thing to think about.

At this time, Nichang came over and called Jiang Jiu: "Girl, it's about to start, let's go."

When Jiang Jiu arrived at the temple, the housekeeper had already arranged everything.

But when lighting the lamps, relatives must do it personally.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, sister-in-law Shen lit a lamp for Zhou Shi'an.

As the eldest daughter, Chang Pingping lights lamps for her mother, Madam Chang.

Finally, the abbot handed the candle to Jiang Jiu...
