Chapter 1260 - 46: Debts of Joy (Part 22)_2
Now the princess is asking for the letter, which means she agrees to get married.
The maid felt she understood correctly.
Princess Yinchuan huffed, "I won’t read the letter!"
The maid covered her mouth and laughed.
The princess clearly wanted to read it, why be so stubborn?
The maid went to find the envoy and brought the letter to Princess Yinchuan.
Princess Yinchuan told the maid to take it away.
The maid placed the letter on the table.
Several maids were personally serving Princess Yinchuan and knew her very well.
Within half an hour, she’d definitely be unable to resist opening it.
They were pretty confident in that.
Sure enough, the princess paced back and forth in the bedroom, her eyes constantly drawn to the letter.
Her heart was burning, as if it was being scratched by a cat.
But the maids were wrong; their princess’s resistance lasted longer than they anticipated.
After half an hour, Princess Yinchuan still hadn’t read the letter.
But she struggled desperately with her curiosity, and in the end, couldn’t withstand it.
Even after washing and getting into bed, she ultimately faltered, flipping open the curtain and glaring at the letter, "Give me the letter."
If she didn’t read it, she wouldn’t be able to sleep all night.
If she’s going to read it, so what? Who could do anything about it?!
The maid quickly handed the letter to Princess Yinchuan, and brought a lamp over.
Princess Yinchuan sat on the bed and opened the letter—
Imperial Sister, receiving this letter means you’ve already fallen for Second Young Master Su, willing to marry him.
The Imperial Sister wishes you and your husband a long and harmonious life, and early childbirth.
I heard the men of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion are very fond of their wives, your decision to marry him is wise.
Beimo spent 300,000 loads of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of gold just to secure this engagement, and he still wasn’t pleased.
He can’t annul the engagement, so he’d have bees sting you, forcing you to cancel, and made you walk, getting you tanned. How could you let him off so easily?
Marry him, let him pamper you for life, to uphold Beimo’s dignity.
Also, this contemptible brat once hit the Imperial Sister’s forehead with a slingshot, Imperial Sister won’t bully the younger, but after you marry, remember to hit him a few more times for your Imperial Sister.
A page from the "Taming Husband Manual" was attached at the back.
Princess Yinchuan, "...".
Princess Yinchuan’s face was full of black lines.
But the Imperial Sister was right; that scoundrel mustn’t be let off easily!
Being sent back to Beimo would be so humiliating.
Especially since this engagement cost 300,000 loads of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of gold, only to end up annulled.
If she returned to Beimo, who knows how she’d be ridiculed?
Now her face is tanned again, she’ll find it even harder to marry.
She can’t go back to Beimo and spend her days with nuns and monks, while that rascal enjoys the good life in Daqi!
She’d die of anger!
Marry him, spend all his money, make him regret it!
Resolute, Princess Yinchuan carefully studied the "Taming Husband Manual" taught by her Imperial Sister.
If it can tame the Emperor, surely it can tame Su Yang.
First, cry.
Second, make a scene.
Third, pretend to hang.
These three must absolutely not be used.
Daughters of Beimo aren’t that fragile, they should never resort to such humiliating methods.
Especially since Su Yang is different from ordinary noble family sons; if you pretend to hang yourself in front of him, he might help tie the white silk tighter.
Princess Yinchuan, "...".
The Imperial Sister was absolutely right.
That scoundrel is just such a person!
Princess Yinchuan was serious as she read word by word.
The maid called twice from beside her, and she didn’t hear.
"Princess?" The maid called again, raising her voice by two levels.
Princess Yinchuan looked at the maid, "What’s up?"
"This is the brocade box the Empress gave to be placed at the bottom of your chest, for you to review the night before your marriage," the maid said, blushing.
They had some idea of what the brocade box contained.
Princess Yinchuan didn’t know, she thought it was some treasure.
Open it and—
Even the darkest face was flushed with red.
The maids knew the princess was embarrassed, so they quickly withdrew.
Princess Yinchuan struggled for a long time, but still reached out to take the book up.
Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Su Yang finished bathing, returned to the room to sleep.
As he walked to the bed, he saw a brocade box placed on it.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Who put a brocade box on his bed?
He sat at the edge of the bed and picked up the brocade box.
The brocade box was specially made and needed unlocking, but this wasn’t a problem for him.
This thoughtful brocade box surely contained a treasure inside.
Su Yang spent some time unlocking the brocade box and saw three big characters—
Spring, Palace, Picture.
Su Yang, "...".
Really?
If he couldn’t unlock the brocade box, would he be unworthy of consummating the marriage?
But since he had free time, he might as well look at the book to pass the time.
Though this book was unusual, it couldn’t be read too long without causing a flame.
Su Yang tilted his head to stop the nosebleed and soaked in cold water for most of the night.
