Chapter 140: The Sister in the Control Group of the Rebirth Article (6)
"I really like this fortune. I wish I was the one who was given this fortune by Master Jueyun!"
Zhao Xinyuo showed a longing look and spoke frankly.
It's good that Zhao Zijin hasn't changed his mind. Master Jueyun is well versed in Buddhism. He was able to save even the sickly King Kang and brought him back to life. He may be able to save the lives of the two sisters.
After hearing what Zhao Xinyuo said, Zhao Zijin did not say anything, but cast a spell, causing the maid and Zhao Xinyuo present to fall into a coma.
Exchanging with Zhao Xinyou allowed her to have the physique that allowed her to get pregnant that she had always dreamed of. In the future, would Zhao Xinyou still be able to say that she envied the physique that allowed her to get pregnant and longed to have it?
Early the next morning, Zhao Xinyuo woke up Zhao Zijin. After washing and dressing up, the two went to Qingxin Temple together to look for Master Jueyun. It took them quite some time to find out that Master Jueyun was resting in his courtyard.
As soon as they arrived outside Master Jueyun's courtyard, Master Jueyun invited them into the courtyard.
"How strange! How strange!" Master Jueyun looked at Zhao Zijin and the other two carefully. "I once met this donor when I was a child, but more than ten years have passed, and he has changed so completely."
When Zhao Zijin and her companion came to visit, they introduced their family background. Master Jueyun was deeply impressed by this girl, who had once been predicted by Master Jueyun to have "many children and good fortune, with five sons to her name".
Her current fate was beyond his comprehension, but the girl next to her had the destiny of "many children and great blessings". How strange!
"The fortune-telling I made many years ago has now turned out to be false. On the contrary, the donor next door has fulfilled the saying 'more children, more blessings'."
Zhao Xinyuo crossed her hands under her wide sleeves, and was so excited that she almost pinched the hand underneath until it turned purple.
After living a new life, fate favored her and allowed her to obtain Zhao Zijin's destiny as she wished.
Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Zijin with joy but also a hint of apology. She felt that the fortune on Zhao Zijin was gone, and she must have taken this fortune from Zhao Zijin.
After Master Jueyun finished saying these words, before the Zhao Zijin sisters could react, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Master Jueyun's disciple opened the door, only to find that the person knocking on the door was actually the steward of the Duke Jingguo's Mansion.
This butler has always been very busy in the Duke Jingguo's Mansion, working for the Duke Jingguo. How could he appear here?
"My dear cousins, I have finally found you two."
The housekeeper panted heavily, "Hurry and follow me back to the palace. Someone came from the palace early this morning and asked the old lady to come in. They said they wanted to grant you a marriage with Prince Kang!"
When the butler said the second half of the sentence, he looked at Zhao Zijin with surprise and pride on his face. Both cousins were raised by their Duke's Mansion. It was also an honor for their Duke's Mansion that the cousins could be married to Prince Kang.
In fact, a eunuch went to the Duke of Jingguo's mansion yesterday to pass on a message that the Queen Mother wanted to see the old lady. At the hour of Mao, when all the ministers were in court, they went to the harem to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
The old lady didn't stay in the palace for long before she hurried back home, instructing him to invite the two cousins from Yuantai Mountain back home to prepare to receive the imperial edict.
"Me and His Royal Highness Prince Kang?"
Zhao Zijin was confused. Was she trying to win over Gao Su or was Gao Su trying to win over her? They had only met once, but Gao Su went to ask for an imperial decree to grant them a marriage. Otherwise, how could the palace grant them a marriage based on her family background?
"Yes, congratulations, my cousins. You two cousins should follow me back to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion as soon as possible."
When Zhao Xinyu heard that Zhao Zijin was betrothed to Prince Kang, her first reaction was secret joy. Now that she had the "many sons and many blessings" as Master Jueyun had personally asserted, Zhao Zijin, who was loved by her cousin the Crown Prince at first sight, was betrothed to Prince Kang.
Then she is one step closer to the position of Crown Prince's wife.
"Congratulations, sister, for being chosen by the royal family to become Princess Kang."
"When you become a princess in the future, don't forget me, your elder sister."
Although Prince Kang was highly regarded by the Emperor, Zhao Xinyuo had never heard much about him in her previous life. She only knew that Prince Kang lived a comfortable life in his fiefdom.
"Sister, you always make fun of me."
After saying goodbye to Master Jueyun, Zhao Zijin and her sister followed the housekeeper back to Duke Jingguo's Mansion, where the Duke Jingguo's wife was waiting for them in the main hall.
Seeing the two sisters' plain clothes, Lady Jingguo ordered their maids to go back to their courtyard and bring two sets of bright clothes to Lady Jingguo's room.
As soon as Zhao Zijin and his companion entered the main hall, they were led to the main courtyard by Lady Jingguo, the wife of Duke Jingguo. In her room, Zhao Zijin was made to sit down at the dressing table. Lady Jingguo selected the ones suitable for Zhao Zijin's age from her many pieces of jewelry and put them on her head.
After tidying up for a while, Lady Jingguo looked at Zhao Zijin's perfectly fitted headdress in the mirror and expressed satisfaction. She asked the maid to put makeup on Zhao Zijin and then told her to make Zhao Xinyu look better.
Lady Jingguo took Zhao Zijin's hand, sat on a chair beside her, and told her how to respond to the upcoming imperial edict.
This child was originally the one she was planning to find a bride for Jue'er, but before she could convince her son to get married, Zhao Zijin was spotted by the royal family and was about to become a princess.
It's really fate that I find it hard to find a daughter-in-law who is good at giving birth and whose family background cannot be too low.
When the imperial edict arrived at the Duke Jingguo's mansion, Zhao Zijin was kneeling between the old lady and the Duke Jingguo's wife. He took the imperial edict and was about to stand up when the eunuch who delivered the edict cleared his cough.
"Miss Zhao, the Queen Mother has ordered you to enter the palace and stay by her side in five days."
After the eunuch delivered the empress dowager's oral instructions, he accepted the purse that the Jingguo Mansion had given him specially to celebrate the occasion and left the Jingguo Mansion.
During these five days, Zhao Zijin was taught by the old lady and the wife of Duke Jingguo in turn, and he had to cram in a lot of court etiquette. Although he had learned it before, he had also followed the old lady into the palace.
But now Zhao Zijin was the only one who entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. The old ladies and the other lady were not very reassured and began to teach Zhao Zijin personally, fearing that her entry into the palace would anger the Queen Mother and bring trouble to the Jingguo Mansion.
Zhao Zijin finally had half a day to rest that day. She left the house with Yan Lin, but she didn't want to meet Duke Jingguo, who had entered Sanyuan Tower with a woman and a handsome young man near Sanyuan Tower.
Sanyuanlou is a famous restaurant in Beijing. Many dignitaries would come here to entertain relatives and friends, but the people her uncle brought were too strange.
The young man looked very much like my uncle, even his eyes were like those of the woman next to my uncle, as if they were carved from the same mold.
She had never found any relatives of the Sun family who were of the same age as Duke Jingguo in her original memory.
Could it be that this young man is the concubine of Duke Jingguo?
If he is really the son of Duke Jingguo's concubine, once Sun Jue's homosexuality is exposed, and the imperial physician diagnoses that Sun Jue will have difficulty in having children, will his position as the crown prince still be as stable as it is now?
