"Father-in-law, what are you talking about?" Zheng Siying subconsciously froze.

"The tenth day of the next month. Wang Jianyi's daughter Zheng Siying, married Xiao Chengming, the head of the Xiao family, as his wife. Wang Jian was word-by-word, unquestionable.

"Who? Xiao Chengming, who is over half a hundred years old and his wife died early?" The blood on Zheng Siying's face faded inch by inch.

"Not bad. The old man has already made it clear to the emperor, and the Xiao family has also agreed. You don't have to care about anything, stay in the room obediently, and get on the sedan chair on the tenth day of the next month. Wang Jian said lightly, it is normal to let Buddha go.

However, it is only a Buddha.

The cardamom girl marries a half-old man with gray temples.

On one side is the yellow flower girl with golden branches and jade leaves. On one side is an old widower who has been widowed for more than ten years.

Even if it is the two surnames Wang and Xiao, this marriage is a poisonous snake with a red hijab, swishing coldly, and drilling into Zheng Siying's head.

Zheng Siying suddenly became numb from the scalp to the back beam bone.

"Father-in-law! Father-in-law, think twice, Si Ying, Si Ying, can this matter be discussed again? Even if it is the son of the Xiao family, why must it be the head of the Xiao family? If this happens, wouldn't the father-in-law and the head of the Xiao family have a mess of generations?" Zheng Siying didn't choose to speak, trembling, and her little face had frozen into black blue.

"Seniority? Although his Xiao family has been promoted by the emperor and made up for the gap between the five surnames of the Lu family, in terms of seniority and strength, it is not only enough to lick the tip of my Wang family's shoes? At that time, he called me father-in-law, or the old man looked up to him Xiao Chengming!" Wang Jian laughed loudly, as if hearing a joke, "As for the others, why Xiao Chengming." ”

Wang Jian paused, his eyes were suddenly deep, and he looked at Zheng Siying's gaze with a lot of differences, which was the kind of strangeness that locked the chess pieces, either made the best use of them, or abandoned the pawn to take his life.

Zheng Siying's mind buzzed, like falling into an ice cave.

Wang Jian didn't care about Zheng Siying's reaction, but the corners of his lips curled, and he took the initiative to explain: "Among the emperor's heirs, there are only three who have grown up. The second prince is Li Jingpei, the king of Zhao, the third prince is Li Jingting, the king of Jin, and the fourth prince is Li Jingxiao, the king of Yue. Among them, King Yue is far away in Sichuan and Shu, alienated from the capital, and has a small scar on his face, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it for the time being. Therefore, King Zhao's strongest opponent at the moment is Li Jingting, the king of Jin. ”

"King Zhao's rival is King Jin?" Zheng Siying muttered subconsciously.

Wang Jian nodded, his eyes darkened: "Not bad." This King Jin does have some skills. Outstanding military achievements, intended for the country, the front because of the flood of the river, now benevolent government and love the people, won the emperor's praise. His mother, Concubine Wu, is also famous, and recently named Concubine De, second only to the queen. If this momentum is followed, I am afraid that sooner or later, King Jin will kick King Zhao out. ”

"The father-in-law is high and powerful, and his means are all over the world, and he will not allow this result to happen. Zheng Siying tried her best to squeeze out a flattering smile.

The corners of Wang Jian's lips hooked, and his fingertips suddenly stabbed into his palm: "So, I can't wait." The situation is threatening, the old man can't wait, he must act. If you want to level the world, who will give me away, who will give me away. ”

Wang Jian paused, glanced at Zheng Siying's reaction, and saw that the latter's face was pale, and he was spontaneously stunned, and laughed contemptuously: "And this breakthrough is the famous family of the previous dynasty." If you encompass the five surnames and seven wangs, and subdue the famous family of Dawei, it is naturally the easiest and most enjoyable way, but the old man thinks so, and others will think so, and no one can please the target at that time. Therefore, the old man did the opposite and found another way, which was the famous family of the former dynasty: Lanling Xiao family. ”

Zheng Siying's hands and feet were already terrifyingly cold, and the more Wang Jian explained the stakes, the more she understood that there was no possibility of escape.

Because she couldn't be clearer about Wang Jian's choice.

Power and righteous daughters, status and marriage. There was no doubt that he would choose the former, she knew him too well, so she knew too well, and she had been pushed to a dead end.

"Father-in-law is a good plan...... Daughter...... The daughter ...... "Zheng Siying wanted to echo the righteous father's wisdom, but her lips trembled, and she couldn't say half a complete sentence.

Wang Jian seemed to be smiling, and continued: "If you want to let the Lanling Xiao family be used by me, the best way is to directly let my Wang family's daughter become the wife of the head of the Xiao family, and directly sit in the position of the head of the house! Xiao Cheng will be old next year, and he will cower on weekdays, just to start! You, you can seize the power of the Xiao family and open up territory for my Wang family!"

Wang Jian exhaled a breath of pride, his eyes were blazing red, he leaned down, stretched out his index finger, raised Zheng Siying's head, and stared at the woman's eyes tightly, like a poisonous snake in front of the tip of his nose, Zizi spit out a letter.

Zheng Siying's eyebrows were shrouded in ashes, her body was weak, and she sat on the ground.

The corners of Wang Jian's lips turned up, and the flame at the bottom of his eyes locked on Zheng Siying: "You are used to being smart, and you are quite important to the old man." The old man has entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility. If it happens, you will be the hero of my royal family. Si Ying, don't let the old man down. ”

……

Zheng Siying didn't know how to get out, but it was obviously the weather of Sanchun, but she felt very cold, and her face and skin were blue.

The maids along the way were so frightened that she didn't even know what to say about the brazier, but she was in a trance, stumbling outside the house, and she didn't know where to go.

She just subconsciously wanted to escape. This majestic palace is too stuffy, so stuffy that if she stays any longer, she will suffocate to death, and the sound of congratulatory marriage in the mansion makes her go crazy.

So as soon as the front foot stepped out of the door, the back foot hit a person.

Zheng Siying staggered a few steps, stabilized her body, and gradually regained her consciousness, and when she saw the man in front of her clearly, she instinctively bent her knees: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin?"

The person who came was Li Jingting. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "Miss Zheng, what's wrong, you're in a nightmare?"

Zheng Siying stroked her forehead, calmed her mind, and her hands and feet slowly warmed: "The prince said he laughed." The courtier's daughter just played against her father, lost the chess, and felt aggrieved. ”

"Lost the chess?" Li Jingting playfully tasted these three words, noncommittal, "That's it." This king did have something to look for you, and now it happens that he has saved the effort of entering the house. ”

"The prince is looking for a courtier, and it is good to order a eunuch to summon him. Why deign to make the courtiers panic. Zheng Siying saluted again, her face was tame and charming, and she had returned to her former appearance.

Li Jingting rolled his eyelids, didn't look at the woman's posture for half of his eyes, and went straight to the corner of the street, leaving a voice: "The chess game is obscure, and there are many unsightly things." If you are called to the public in secret, it will provoke the eyes and ears of many people, and it is better for the king to come in person. Come here. ”

The last two words made Zheng Siying a policeman. After glancing at no one around, he cautiously followed.

When the two came to a secluded place, they only heard the slight sound of the spring breeze on their faces, and the corners of their clothes fluttered in the invisible places, showing the shadow guards arranged by the King of Jin, and the night owls overlapped.

Zheng Siying became more and more solemn, and took a step back vigilantly: "Dare to ask the prince, what is the matter of looking for a courtier?"

After making sure that there was no other person's eyeliner except for his own shadow guard, Li Jingting simply took off his polite mask, and his face was suddenly shrouded in an iron blue: "Do you want to pretend to be confused and disagree with Li Zhiye's partnership?"

They are all people in the chess game, the master has no trace, and it is stupid to conceal it, and the game starts in an instant.

The sword and sword shine in the sun, sin and evil are put on the weighing pole, life and death, honor and disgrace, please fight.

Zheng Siying thought about it for a while, then understood what she was saying, and raised her head without showing weakness: "So today, is the prince coming to Xingshi to ask about the crime for Princess Jingxian?"
