Perhaps he was certain that this arranged marriage was a done deal.

As he left, the old man smiled with a determined look.

He even ordered the palace steward to prepare the wedding ceremony immediately.

Watching the old man's back as he left, A Bao sighed softly: Since I have witnessed Shi Xi's difficulties, how can I just stand by and watch?

But this is really difficult to do.

A few days ago, Jia Si brought news that the old King Pingyue and his wife did die because of Yun Ji, but King Xuan still regarded Yun Ji as a treasure and was madly in love with her.

Therefore, as long as Shi Xi stays in Yuezhou, he will not be free.

But in this life, Xuan Changdu was obviously unwilling to give up his position as Crown Prince, and fled far away with Shi Xi.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so Abao pounded the bow railing to vent his anger.

"Perhaps, persuade Shi Xi to leave Yuezhou? I will help Shi Xi create a new identity." A Bao raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Fengran beside him: "What do you think, uncle?"

There was no one else in the pavilion on the ship at this moment. Xuanyuan Fengran, who was extremely alert, relaxed a little.

"Shi Xi can't leave Xuan Changdu."

"What else can we do?" A Bao was extremely worried.

Xuanyuan Fengran turned around and felt the sea breeze, and said lightly: "She is pregnant."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

If Shi Xi was pregnant, she would be King Xuan's eldest grandson.

Could King Xuan continue to marry by force?

When A Bao thought of the old man's infatuation with Yun Ji, he fell silent.

Who knows, it may really work.

Thinking of this, A Bao became even more depressed: "Whether the pregnancy is true or not, once the news comes out, Chu Wu, who has already set a wedding date with Xuan Changdu, will lose face in the Chuyue area."

In this life after rebirth, Chu Wu is her first new friend.

Shi Xi wanted to help, but she also had to think about Chu Wu.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Fengran gently pinched Abao's cheek and encouraged him, "If you don't try, how do you know what Miss Chu thinks?"

A Bao always felt that his uncle Feng Ran was hinting at something.

After much hesitation, she decided to give it a try as her uncle suggested.

A quarter of an hour later, in the embroidery room on the second floor cabin.

Ever since the skirt patterns drawn by Abao helped Yongyuan Trading Company's cloth shop to prosper, Xuanji forced her to come up with ten new skirt patterns every month.

Even when he was ordered to go on a long journey, he could not escape Xuan Ji's deadly chain letters.

Xuanji even insisted on setting up an embroidery room in the cabin on the second floor.

All kinds of silks and satins, rulers, scissors, needles and threads, and hangers as tall as a person...

But Xuanji also understood that Abao was not good at needlework.

Therefore, two famous tailors from Jiangnan were specially sent there.

All A Bao had to do was draw the pattern of the skirt, and then leave the task of making the skirt according to the pattern to the tailor. After it was made, it would be sent directly to Xuan Ji of Yongyuan Trading Company in Jiangnan by express horse.

However, I have been very busy recently and only finished half of the frost-patterned skirt.

But Chu Wu fell in love with her at first sight.

As Abao walked in, leaning on a crutch and carrying a watermelon plate.

Chu Wu was standing in front of the frost-patterned skirt with great interest.

A Bao smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Then I'll just obey your orders!" Chu Wu exclaimed: "You're amazing! I'm getting married on August 8th, shall we think of wedding dress designs together?"

"Xuan Changdu and Shi Xi. Do you mind?"

"I don't mind. After all, I'm not marrying Xuan Changdu."

Upon hearing this, A Bao knew that Chu Wu actually understood everything.

This marriage is essentially an exchange of interests.

As a result, when the words came to her lips, she immediately became entangled again.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wu was more direct.

"After all, this is a major event for the marriage between the two families. We have been discussing various conditions for nearly half a year. How can we not investigate Xuan Changdu in detail? Moreover, during the six months in the imperial capital, Xuan Changdu never concealed the fact that he had a girl named Shi Xi by his side."

As she spoke, Chu Wu sighed, "Until half an hour ago, I saw with my own eyes the way Xuan Changdu looked at Shi Xi—his emotions were surging, and he couldn't suppress them."

"Sure enough, Xuan Changdu likes Shi Xi."

Hearing this, A Bao felt helpless and turned around to boil water to make tea.

Chu Wu sat down on the other side of the tea table with a smile that was full of gratitude.

"Thank you for asking me if I mind."

Hearing this, A Bao handed the hot tea to Chu Wu, trying to comfort her.

Chu Wu held the tea and warmed her hands: "Don't worry, I can take it easy."

As if to convince herself, Chu Wu repeated it again.

"I am marrying the prince of King Xuan, not Xuan Changdu."

"Who Xuan Changdu likes has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Abao felt lost.

It became increasingly difficult for Shi Xi to ask Chu Wu for help.

But Chu Wu saw Ah Bao's hesitation and said with a smile: "Miss Shi Xi was innocently favored by the old man. If I can help, I am willing to help."

The more straightforward Chu Wu was, the more surprised A Bao became.

After hesitating for a while, A Bao tried: "Is it okay to pretend that Shi Xi is pregnant?"

"It's better for me to lose face than for her to be forced to marry an old guy." Having said this, Chu Wu looked at A Bao and spoke frankly.

"But doesn't she mind being a concubine?"

"This is a marriage between Xuan and Chu, not a marriage between children."

"Even in Xuan Changdu's eyes, I am a vicious woman who insisted on marrying him even though she knew he had someone else in mind."

"I can't give up on this marriage."

After hearing Chu Wu's truth, A Bao was shocked and actually felt sad.

The entire embroidery room fell into a long period of dead silence.

Finally, Po took a deep breath and insisted on one thing.

"In any case, the person who should least hide at this moment is Xuan Changdu."

Having said that, under Chu Wu's stunned gaze, A Bao stood up.

The embroidery room was reserved for a couple who were going to get married in a month.
