Chapter 233 Whether marriage is good or bad depends on who you marry.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I came back this time to go with you. I was originally planning to send someone to look for you, but since you're here, let's pack up and set off."
"Ah?!" Princess Huizhen exclaimed in surprise. "Uncle, are you coming with me?"
"Isn't this...isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with you? If I didn't have to keep an eye on you, you'd drive people crazy."
That's making her sound like some kind of demon or monster.
Princess Huizhen was so frustrated!
"Yizhen, have someone find her another set of clothes."
Princess Huizhen was dressed today in a dark purple, narrow-sleeved, fitted outfit, with a golden crown binding her hair and a whip hanging at her waist. Anyone who didn't know better would really think she was going to fight.
Princess Huizhen was somewhat displeased upon hearing this: "I'm perfectly fine."
"Are you taking people to fight or just looking at each other?"
Princess Huizhen wanted to say something more, but Qin Yizhen quickly pulled her aside: "Alright, alright, elder sister, just change your clothes. If you say anything more, your uncle will get angry."
Princess Huizhen was silent for a moment. Seeing this, Qin Yizhen immediately said, "It's settled then. Granny Jin, take my elder sister to choose some clothes. I also made a few new outfits. Let my elder sister choose one she likes."
"You want me to wear your clothes?" Princess Huizhen frowned.
"They're all new, never worn before. Do you expect me to make you a brand new outfit right now?"
Princess Huizhen was taken aback and had no choice but to give up, then followed Granny Jin to change her clothes.
Qin Yizhen walked up to Cheng Yan and asked him, "Why are you back?"
"I was worried about Huizhen, so I decided to go and check on her." Cheng Yan took her hand and walked with her to the chair of honor. Lü Qiao served tea, and after taking a sip, he frowned. "It's harder than fighting a war."
Cheng Yan has gone to great lengths for Princess Huizhen.
Qin Yizhen chuckled.
Cheng Yan glanced at her and warned her, "Don't listen to Huizhen's nonsense. What she means by 'one massaging the shoulders and the other pounding the legs' is utterly absurd."
He brought up the old issue again, which shows that he was very annoyed, resentful, and unhappy.
Qin Yizhen smiled again.
"dare you laugh?"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh. I didn't hear her say anything. Is that alright?" Qin Yizhen suppressed her smile, but couldn't help teasing him, "Look at you, you're like you've fallen into a vat of vinegar, so sour."
I don't know what's wrong with him. He's a grown man, and he looks so cold and serious. When he puts on a stern face, Princess Huizhen and Emperor Jing'an are both a little afraid of him. But in private, he's actually quite sarcastic.
However, Qin Yizhen was afraid of him before, but now that they have been together for a long time and spend every day together, she is naturally no longer afraid.
Cheng Yan squeezed her hand helplessly and asked, "Do you think Huizhen's marriage will work out?"
"I think it's very unlikely." Qin Yizhen shook her head, feeling uncertain.
"Why? I heard that Sima Wuxu is quite handsome, Huizhen should like him."
"But he doesn't seem to be in good health." Qin Yizhen didn't dare tell Cheng Yan that he had just complained about his niece's 'incomplete limbs' when she married him.
“Huizhen has always been proud and arrogant, and she is also a princess. Although the Empress Dowager meant well and thought that Young Master Sima was suitable, she would definitely not be happy about it.”
"I suppose the husband she wants must at least have a handsome appearance and be in good health; otherwise, she will definitely feel that he is not good enough for her."
Cheng Yan paused, tapping his fingers on the edge of the table in thought: "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps Young Master Sima's face is enough to satisfy her."
Qin Yizhen blinked: "Is Young Master Sima very handsome? How does he compare to Xie Zhan?"
It is said that Young Master Zhenxu is indeed quite handsome, with feminine features, red lips and white teeth, and as frail as a catkin. Whether it is true or not, she has never seen him.
"Xie Zhan? You think he's handsome?"
"...That's not the point, okay?" Qin Yizhen was quite annoyed. She and Xie Zhan had nothing to do with each other, but he just had to be jealous.
"How is that not the point? You're comparing him to Xie Zhan, and you also think he's good-looking, right?"
Qin Yizhen: "......"
They're really bored. Xie Zhan is so unlucky to have met them. One of them is someone he can't have, and he doesn't even have a chance. The other one sees him as a rival in love every day and makes sarcastic remarks whenever he mentions him.
"I used Xie Zhan as a comparison only because my elder sister likes Xie Zhan and also likes Xie Zhan's face."
To add to that, Xie Zhan is really pitiful. This couple is troublesome enough, but on top of that, there's Huizhen, that persistent and crazy woman.
Who did they offend?
"Alright, go check on Huizhen. We'll set off once she's changed her clothes."
"Us? Me too?"
"You don't want to go?"
"Go." Qin Yizhen was also a little worried about Princess Huizhen, mainly because Empress Dowager Cheng and Cheng Yan were too concerned, and she wanted to go and see for herself.
Qin Yizhen went to Chunhe Courtyard next door.
Princess Huizhen had already changed into a lilac-colored dress.
The cross-front narrow-sleeved shirt, the waist-length pleated skirt, and the wide-sleeved, front-opening soft smoky purple outer shirt all accentuated her noble air. Her arrogance and haughtiness had faded considerably, and she looked like a somewhat haughty noblewoman.
Her maid was combing her hair with a jade comb, and Granny Jin ordered someone to bring out a lot of jewelry, which was laid out in order for her to choose from.
These are all unused jewelry pieces in Qin Yizhen's storeroom. Some were sent from the palace's jewelry department, and some were purchased from outside. Because there were so many items, and Qin Yizhen had a habit of changing her jewelry every day, the pile just kept growing.
Princess Huizhen was dazzled by the sight, her eyes revealing a clear sense of bewilderment.
"These are all things that Yizhen never used?"
Granny Jin said, "Princess Huizhen is joking. Princess Yizhen has naturally used more than just these. These are all things that I have selected that are suitable for the princess."
Qin Yizhen coughed and stepped forward, saying, "If my elder sister were to get married, she would surely have more jewelry than I do."
Princess Huizhen is not yet married, and all she can get is her salary and fief as a princess. However, she spends money extravagantly and has a princess's mansion to support. All these dazzling jewelry pieces cannot compare to Qin Yizhen's.
As for Qin Yizhen, she got married. In addition to the princess's salary and fief, she also received a dowry prepared by the royal family. Every year, the palace would send her various jewelry, fabrics, tonics, and other items.
The Marquis of Pingxi's residence also provided her with items, and they were all carefully selected.
It can be said that after she got married, her family of birth and her husband's family supported her, and her own income was her own private income. She lived a really good life.
"Is getting married that good?"
"Whether a marriage is good or bad depends on who you marry." Qin Yizhen smiled. "Elder sister, the most important thing about marriage is his character."
“A man of good character, if he likes you, will do his best to treat you well. Even if he doesn’t like you, since he has married you, he will respect you and give you the respect you deserve.”
