Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Chapters 88 - 90

Ch 88 – Crown Princess

Cheng Yujin coughed hard. Seeing this, her two servant girls were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to give her water.

Cheng Yujin never expected to hear her own name out of a sudden while listening to gossip. When she finally calmed down, she no longer cared about other news. Her first sentence was to ask hurriedly: "What did you just say, who is the Emperor bestowing marriage to?"

Lian Qiao and Du Ruo exchanged a glance and replied in a low voice: "Bestowing the marriage between the Crown Prince and Yichun Marquis Manor's eldest di daughter surnamed Cheng, named Yujin, as the Crown Princess. The imperial edict has been posted, and now people in the whole capital are talking about it."

Du Ruo was more stable than Lian Qiao. Although she was very shocked at first, after a retrospect, she found the situation actually was not that surprising. Ninth Master's relationship with their Miss had always been exceptional. Except for Ninth Master, Du Ruo had never seen their Miss be so affectionate to any man or even anyone else.

If Ninth Master was not of Cheng family's blood, then there was nothing wrong with him marrying Miss. It was all logical and understandable.

Cheng Yujin couldn't calm down. She was dumbfounded for a long time; her brain totally messed up.

Although Lian Qiao loved to joke around, she was not ignorant. Besides, who in the world would dare to make this kind of joke? Unless they no longer wanted to live.

Cheng Yujin didn't know whether she should be shocked to find that Cheng Yuanjing had chosen a woman without a helpful family background as his Crown Princess or whether she should be more shocked to find herself as the future Crown Princess.

Neither Cheng Yujin nor Cheng family would ever dream of this.

When Cheng Yujin first learned Cheng Yuanjing's real identity, she was both shocked and surprised. Yet, she had never once thought of him as a husband candidate. She deliberately approached him, carefully trying to please, all to obtain the Crown Prince's favor so that he might bestow her some benefits in the future. However, she never had the slightest thought of taking the opportunity to become the Crown Princess.

Cheng Yujin never did anything that gave her no benefit, and she naturally believed others to be the same. What's more, marriage was a major event in life, even more for the Crown Prince's marriage, which directly related to the future of the country and the stability of the court. No one would make jokes out of this matter.

Cheng Yuanjing was not the kind of person who would ignore the overall trend for the sake of romance and love. At least, Cheng Yujin believed so. Because she thought it was impossible, she never considered the possibility between her and Cheng Yuanjing. Later, she fell into the river and was rescued by Cheng Yuanjing, and only then she realized how naive she was.

Just because she thought so didn't mean the other party also had the same thought as her.

These few days, she had been ill and emotionally fragile. Under such an emotional state, she expressed her anger at Cheng Yuanjing and even cried in front of him. Recalling how she was at that time, Cheng Yujin didn't want to admit the hysteric girl to be herself. However, she vaguely remembered that Cheng Yuanjing seemed to have said something to her and even denied that he wanted to take her as his side consort.

After that, Cheng Yujin slept for a long time and forgot many parts of the conversation. Moreover, she hadn't seen Cheng Yuanjing for a few days, so she gradually forgot about the matter. However, it turned out that he was actually preparing to restore his identity and asking for a marriage bestowment?
