After entering the house, Li Jin asked Qiao Bai to take Qiao Bai to the flower hall where the guests were waiting for a while, while she went to her mother's courtyard to report first.

Mrs. Li had heard that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had met her daughter at the door, and she turned back halfway.

Therefore, before Li Jin could reach his mother's courtyard, he was intercepted by Mrs. Li halfway.

"Mother, I'm back. ”

Li Jin just started to speak happily, but Mrs. Li only stepped forward to check carefully.

After a quick look, Mrs. Li immediately said, "Well, it's good to come back safely." Go change your clothes and don't keep your guests waiting for you too long. ”

After that, Mrs. Li immediately went straight to the small kitchen with her personal maid.

Li Jin looked at the back of her mother who left in a daze, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

She just came back from the tiger's den, and she was sent away in such a hurry?

Why does my mother seem to worry more about food than she does? At least ask her if she is being bullied in the palace.

Hey, it seems that the mother is gradually getting used to the fact that she has become stronger.

Still, that's fine.

At least after she went to northern Xinjiang, her mother had this kind of confidence, and she could feel better.

Li Jin thought so comfortingly in her heart, and turned around and took Su Jing back to her courtyard.

"Su Jing, you go back and rest first, and then I'll tell you the news when I come back. ”

After Su Jing sighed helplessly, he smiled bitterly: "Miss, you fight so hard, don't be able to hold it before you go to Northern Xinjiang." ”

The words were closed, and he didn't wait for Li Jin to say anything more, and turned around and went back to his room directly.

Li Jin stared at the back of Su Jing leaving, and blinked, this old-fashioned feeling has a fight with her father, but how old is this guy, not two years older than her, right?

Not to mention wrinkles, it is estimated that insomnia and baldness may also be high.

Li Jin's unkind brain made up the picture, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and he was depressed one after another after entering the door.

After relaxing, she quickly packed herself up and rushed to the small flower hall.

When I entered the door, I happened to see Qiao Bai with his back to the door, leaning over the high table.

"Master Qiao has been waiting for a long time, what are you looking at?"

Li Jin said, and walked quickly inside.

"Oh, Miss Li is polite, Qiao is admiring these potted plants. Although at first glance it is only a general variety and not a rare famous product, this growth and this form are very gratifying. Not only can you see the careful care of the planters, but especially the style of the cultivators. This is really a rare good thing! Qiao's words are by no means a compliment. ”

When Qiao Bai spoke, Li Jin had already come a few steps away from him, and he also saw the bonsai on the table.

When his eyes came into contact with those green, fluffy and vibrant plants, the smile on Li Jin's face instantly softened as if it had been plated with a layer of golden light.

"I didn't expect Master Qiao to be so young, and he has studied this very well, and he likes these little things so much. To tell you the truth, these bonsai are all hand-grown and maintained by my father, and he will be very happy to hear your compliment. ”

When Li Jin said this, he suddenly paused. If someone could come to discuss floral art with her father often after she went north, and her father's energy would be distracted, the time when she came back would probably pass faster.

While thinking about it, she had already bowed to Qiao Bai and said, "Don't be surprised, Lord Qiao, Li Jin rarely sees someone who is so keen and proficient in floral art, so there is a reluctant request." ”

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled kindly, and waved his hand regretfully: "Qiao is only afraid that he is going to disappoint Miss Li." ”

Li Jinzheng thought that Qiao Bai was unwilling to have a deep friendship with her father because of the court faction, but he didn't want Qiao Bai to immediately smile and shake his head again: "Miss Li, don't misunderstand, if there is a possibility and opportunity, Qiao Mou would like to come to Ling Zun from time to time to ask for advice." It's just that Qiao has received an order to accompany Miss Li to the north. ”

This time it was Li Jin's turn to be stunned, why did she take the people from the Ministry of Rites to the north after she held a wedding in the capital?

Although Qiao Bai saw Li Jin's confusion, he only spoke: "Don't rush these things in advance, I'll talk to Miss Li slowly one thing at a time." ”

After Li Jin nodded, she raised her hand and asked Qiao Bai to sit down and talk to her in detail.

It turned out that the Ministry of Rites not only arranged for someone to go north with her, but soon after, Li Jin's family will also participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens in place of King Huaiyang and others, who are about to leave Beijing.

"The Huaiyang royal couple and the old princess are not going to participate in the ceremony?"

Li Jin was startled for a moment, and immediately remembered the jade pendant that King Huaiyang hurriedly gave her today.

No wonder, he was in such a hurry, it turned out that he was going to leave Beijing soon. But the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony is the only chance for Jing Wen to grow his face now, and it is also the condition that the old princess of Huaiyang agreed.

Now that he has returned to the fiefdom in such a hurry, he is afraid that Jing Wen's life will be even more difficult in the future.

When Li Jin was upset for Jing Wen, Qiao Bai explained succinctly: "I heard that the old prince was unwell, and the king of Huaiyang and the old princess couldn't rest assured, so they left in a hurry. ”

At this point, Qiao Bai continued: "By the way, there is another thing related to you. Ten days after the ceremony, your marriage will take place at the General's Palace, and all preparations will now be my sole responsibility. If you have something, just come to me. ”

Li Jin was stunned, this Qiao Bai didn't just go to Northern Xinjiang with her, after the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, he was also responsible for her wedding?

After hearing these words, Li Jin felt a little sympathetic for Qiao Bai in front of him for a moment.

The Ministry of Rites is simply, just plucking the feathers of a sheep?

can see the person in front of him smiling slightly, full of energy expression, not only disappreciated, but also gave Li Jin a feeling of happiness.

After Li Jin was silent, he reminded: "This may not be appropriate for me to say, please forgive me Master Qiao, don't blame me for talking too much." ”

Miss Li, but it didn't hurt. ”

Qiao Bai thought that Li Jin was going to make some request for the wedding, and immediately took it very seriously and made a deferential statement.

Li Jin pursed his lips and continued: "Although these are all things that are closely related to me, I am not afraid of your jokes, none of them are a good thing." Not to mention the tiring journey to the north, I heard that there were small wars from time to time, and this marriage was said to be the most high-profile but the easiest to fall into a dilemma. ”

Saying that, Li Jin smiled bitterly, "The former errand is dangerous and time-consuming, and the latter is definitely thankless." I see that you are so young and capable, it is better to take care of this kind of trouble, and leave the rest of your energy in the place where it is easier to get ahead, okay?"

Although Li Jin kept complaining about the Ministry of Rites in his heart, he really admired the official of the Ministry of Rites in front of him, at least his courage was commendable.

Who knew that after Qiao Bai heard this, he suddenly changed his serious expression and laughed easily.

And while laughing, he got up and hugged his fist at Li Jin and bowed.

"Thank you Miss Li for your kind words, I didn't expect you not to be unhappy at all because of Qiao's official position, but also to give such a pertinent suggestion that completely stood on Qiao's position. ”

After Qiao Bai's sincere thanks, he straightened up, the smile on his face became more and more cordial, but it also revealed a dazzling confidence.

"You are so heart-to-heart with me, I, Qiao, should naturally return the favor. To tell you the truth, if you are not completely sure in your heart, how dare Qiao Mou destruct his future, you can wait with confidence. ”
