What Qi Feng said was indeed right, it didn't take long for the Tianjin Kingdom to defeat Daye and bow down to the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was beyond everyone's expectations that this war could last so long. The Heavenly Jin Kingdom is just a small land, and I don't know when it has the strength to compete with the Great Jin Dynasty, which is really thought-provoking. However, in any case, in addition to giving the Great Jin Dynasty a warning, it was a defeat. The envoy brought the letter of surrender to the Dajin army of the same class to return to the dynasty into Beijing to face the saint. Among them, the land compensation is spreading, but the specific thing is that the individual has a personal statement, and I don't know which news is true.

Returning to Jingshan from the border pass is high and long, and you will not be able to return for a while. Even so, the top and bottom of King Jinying's mansion began to get busy, and Steward Lin was arranging what Xiao Shao should do after returning to the mansion every day, and the most important thing was the wedding between Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan. At the beginning, before Xiao Shao left Beijing, the Queen Mother made a decree, and she only waited for the class teacher to return to the dynasty to get married, and now Jiang Ruan is also out of the filial piety period, and it is just around the corner to sit in the position of the young lady of the Jinying Palace. Steward Lin began to think about it since he received Yi's order a year ago, Jiang Ruan thought that everything was already in order, but who knew that Steward Lin was still worried about this matter, from the water spirit beads sticky on the wedding card to the carved patterns on the ivory chopsticks used in the guest banquet, everything was simply detailed.

Dew Drop bypassed Steward Lin and made a gesture of begging for mercy: "Steward Lin, this dim sum list has been changed dozens of times. I really can't think of anything, spare me, I'm just a slave. ”

Steward Lin looked at the dew and said, "Since you are following so many people around the young lady, you also know the people that the young lady sees on weekdays." This wedding banquet can't be hasty, the more exquisite it is, the more you can see that our palace respects the young lady. In this way, the young lady has face, and you are proud of being the young lady's slave. Besides, since you followed the young lady into the door of the palace, that is, a part of the palace, you have to regard yourself as one of us, why is the little girl so unbreathable? Come and see, how about this small porridge made into a lighter Jiangnan flavor? ”

Dew rolled her eyes, and walked around Steward Lin towards the house without looking back.

Back in the house, Forsythia and Bai Zhi were surrounding Jiang Ruan and didn't know what to do, even Tianzhu stood aside and watched, and Dew Drop said strangely: "Hey, what is this?" ”

There was a layer of things on the soft couch in front of Jiang Ruan, and after walking in, the dew drops could be seen clearly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful wedding dress!" ”

Most of the wedding dresses that this woman married were embroidered by herself, and she began to sew wedding dresses for herself a few years ago, and the craftsmanship of the wedding dress can also see the woman's female popularity. The girl is embroidering the wedding dress, and the mood is sweet. It's just that Jiang Ruan was too hasty when he received the Empress Dowager's decree, that is, he moved to Jinying's palace, and he didn't think about the wedding dress every day, and the time was too reluctant, so he simply didn't embroider. I plan to ask the store that makes clothes in the capital to make one when the time comes, as long as I don't lose the side of the Jinying Palace. Who knew that the shopkeeper of Baoyue Building in Lu Dao came to the door today to deliver the wedding dress, saying that Xiao Shao had ordered Baoyue Building to do it when he left Beijing. Who is King Jinying, after taking this order, he can eat it for three years after opening. The shopkeeper invited the best embroidery girl, cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, and finally made it for Jiang Ruan before Xiao Shao came back.

Jiang Ruan was still strange in her heart, she didn't know how to do it when she made clothes, how did Xiao Shao know her size? But now is indeed not the time to worry about this, although Zhilu Dao Baoyuelou has always made clothes for the ladies in the palace, but when he got this wedding dress, even Jiang Ruan couldn't help but gasp.

The wedding dress is red and glamorous all over the body, but it is not ordinary red, like the clouds in the sky slowly into the clouds, warm and soft, gorgeous and unique, the fabric is a silk double nest moire xia drape, embroidered with gold and silver silk Luan Niao Chao Feng embroidery pattern, gold and silver silk are extremely fine, a needle and a thread are embroidered extremely exquisitely, Luan Bird neck flying, a colorful phoenix under the tail is charming, the bottom is full of colorful gems, gently shaking almost dazzling.

The phoenix crown is also made delicate and small, not heavy, and it will not feel difficult to wear, the emerald green bird feathers are shining brightly, reflecting the intoxicating color, the phoenix crown is a jewelry charm, the golden dragon, the emerald phoenix, and the jewels reflect each other, magnificent, and not the ordinary craftsman can achieve. On the crown of the phoenix, the golden dragon rises and leaps above the green clouds, and the green phoenix spreads its wings and flies among the jewels and leaves. The most touching thing is a bead in the mouth of the cui phoenix in the middle, the whole body is crystal round, the color is faintly transparent, and it can exude a bright luster with the movement of people.

Not only that, but there are also Hua Hai swaying, double ringing gold rings, concentric knot locks, and embroidered mandarin duck shoes, this whole set is that Jiang Ruan has seen the gorgeous wealth in the palace in his previous life, and the queen's court clothes have also been seen, and at this moment, he can't help but lose his mind.

A woman's wedding dress is supposed to bear all the hope of the woman for the future, and she will do everything she can to make it more beautiful. In this life, she is not particularly interested in all beautiful things, but Xiao Shao can think so thoughtfully. Dew opened her mouth in surprise, she was already stunned, and she muttered after a while: "Uncle is really generous, this is to let the girl wear a Shangshufu on her body." ”

Forsythia laughed out loud and said, "All the nonsense, what do you mean by a Shangshufu wearing on your body?" She glanced at the delicate wedding dress that didn't look like it was only in the mortal world, and smiled more and more happily: "How can Shangshu Mansion buy this wedding dress?" ”

Since Jiang Quan's attitude towards Jiang Ruan has become more and more cold, and he didn't even take the initiative to ask Jiang Ruan within a year, several maids around Jiang Ruan have been cold to Jiang Quan. Originally, they still thought that one day Jiang Quan would see Jiang Ruan's goodness, after all, they were biological father and daughter, and they broke bones and tendons, how could they say that they would break it, but now they don't want to mention him anymore. Jiang Ruan is also about to marry into the Jinying Palace, and he will be the people of the Jinying Mansion in the future, and he doesn't care what those irrelevant people do. Without this scruples, Forsythia was not polite when he spoke to Jiang Fu.

Everyone laughed again, Jiang Ruan's eyes fell on the wedding dress, and he couldn't help but shake his head, this dress really wants to be worn out, but I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause. Xiao Shao's wedding dress is worth all the belongings of a five-grade official in the capital, and it is estimated that after getting married, he will not pass on the name of a demon girl who is a disaster to the country, but he can't run away.

As he was talking, he heard someone from outside to report: "Young lady, Gongzi Xia and Gongzi Qi have come to see you." ”

Jiang Ruan asked Bai Zhi and the others to put away the wedding dress, pushed the door and walked out, as soon as they went out, they saw Xia Qing and Qi Feng sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and when they saw her coming, Qi Feng smiled and teased: "I heard that the people in this mansion said that the wedding dress of Baoyue Tower was delivered, and my fifth brother and I are making a bet." ”

"Bet on what?" Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.

"Bet on how much silver the wedding dress given by the third brother is worth." Xia Qing's baby-faced face is extremely pleasing, and she looks very cute when she speaks seriously: "The fourth brother guesses that it is 100,000 taels, and I think it is 50,000 taels." ”

The two of them were so bored that they bet on it. Jiang Ruan was a little embarrassed, but he felt that Xiao Shao's brothers were very lively, and he didn't know how Xiao Shao's stuffy gourd was cultivated. At this moment, I heard Xia Qing's crisp voice again: "It's just that whether it's 50,000 taels or 100,000 taels, the third brother is really too wasteful." How can there be such an expensive piece of clothing, and the silver will be used to open a few more good halls, I don't know how many people Lu Dao can help. ”

"What's the matter with you," Qi Feng knocked Xia Qing on the head hard: "The third brother's silver was not earned by you, and this Jinying Mansion was not built by you." You can use people's money as you want, what happened to the third sister-in-law wearing a wedding dress? If I marry a wife like my third sister-in-law, I will definitely do my best to find a dress worthy of her for her! As soon as the words fell, Qi Feng suddenly realized what he was talking about, and couldn't help but pause, and glanced at Jiang Ruan with some uneasiness.

Jiang Ruan turned a deaf ear, as if he was thinking about something else, and Qi Feng's eyes dimmed. Xia Qing touched his head and said aggrievedly: "Fourth brother, you are now more and more towards the third sister-in-law." It's not your wife, why are you so protective? Do you want the friendship of fellow disciples and brothers? ”

"You-" Qi Feng really wanted to beat this junior brother with few tendons. In a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Ruan's thoughtful appearance, and his movements slowed down.

Jiang Ruan was thinking at the moment, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for her to marry Xiao Shao. In this life, she does not want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, so her every move is to try to avoid following the path of her previous life. In her last life, she was the last to be an upright wife, and the palace concubine looked at the scenery on the surface, but she was actually not a concubine of the emperor. Becoming the young lady of the Jinying Palace, although it is equivalent to having a solid backer, Xiao Shao's strength can make it much easier for her to do many things, but the most important thing is that she can completely get rid of the shadow of Xuanli. In this life, in terms of love, she finally cut off the most difficult relationship with Xuanli. From now on, she will be a woman of the Xiao family, and she will not be the Xuan family.

She came back to her senses, looked at Qi Feng and Xia Qing, and said with a slight smile: "In short, Xiao Shao is coming back, my eldest brother is also coming back, the originally stable situation in the capital is afraid that there will be changes soon, don't take it lightly recently, I don't worry about Qi Gongzi, it's just that Xia Gongzi ......"

Xia Qing was unconvinced: "What's wrong with me?" How do you treat the third sister-in-law differently? ”

"You are kind-hearted and mild-tempered, and you will inevitably be taken advantage of." Jiang Ruan smiled: "It's good to keep an eye on everything." Before Xiao Shao and the others return to Beijing, be careful. ”

Xia Qing and Qi Feng glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and said, "Okay, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, I listen to the third sister-in-law." ”

Dew Drop laughed secretly.

……

When the wind rose at night, Bai Zhi got up to close the window, and unexpectedly found that it had begun to rain sporadically outside. Bai Zhi closed the window, looked at Jiang Ruan, who was still sitting at the table and reading, and said, "Girl, let's rest early, when the rain is heavy, I will suffer the wind and cold carefully." ”

Jiang Ruan bowed his head, closed the book, and when he walked to the door, he heard a noise outside, as if something was crackling. She frowned, at this hour, where are there any firecrackers. She had always had a surprising instinct for danger, and she put on a coat and stood up to get out of the yard to take a look.

Bai Zhi saw that Jiang Ruan had an idea, but she didn't stop it, and there were secret guards outside to protect her, so she couldn't get into any big trouble. Jiang Ruanfang walked into the courtyard, and saw a small guy outside hurriedly running in, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Young lady, there are a group of people outside, claiming to be officials to arrest assassins, and the little one doesn't dare to open the door, so come and ask the young lady for advice." ”

The subordinates of King Jinying's Mansion are all carefully selected, and they are not stupid. It is really strange to know that the officers and soldiers who suddenly arrested the assassin so late are really strange, and it is smart to keep an eye on them. Jiang Ruan smiled and said: "It's okay, the matter of arresting the assassin also requires an official seal and a token, since you refuse to open the door, it means that they did not take out these two tokens, since they do not have these two tokens, they cannot prove their identity." Jinying Wangfu is not a small Pengmen household, even if it is a small Pengmen household, you can't just break in, these people don't have to pay attention to it, you are doing a good job. ”

was praised by Jiang Ruan, and the little guy blushed a little, but immediately changed his worried expression: "What the young lady said is, but those people are menacing, and the small ones are not small from the door, if they refuse to open the door, I am afraid they will not give up." ”

As soon as the words fell, as if to reflect what he said, he saw the guards guarding the door hurrying again: "Young lady, it's not good, those people have already begun to break into the palace." The subordinates took a look, they had too many men and horses, and they all brought bows and arrows, and the people who came were not good, and I was afraid that it was very dangerous. ”

Steward Lin also came from the courtyard outside, and saw Jiang Ruan breathe a sigh of relief, now the Jinying Mansion regards Jiang Ruan as a serious hostess, once something happens, as long as Jiang Ruan is there, they will go over Steward Lin and report Jiang Ruan directly. Steward Lin's usual laughter has all been put away, and he said: "Young lady, this place is too dangerous, and the brocade guards left by the master will escort you out of this place, and the master's tokens are still there, and they can always protect you." ”

If the Jinying Mansion becomes the target of everyone, and the other party dares to be so rampant tonight, it must be an excellent preparation, Jiang Ruan is not safe to stay here, no matter what, the young lady of the Jinying Mansion always puts it first.

Jiang Ruan groaned, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

Everyone was shocked by her words, and Dew Drop was a little anxious: "Girl, now is not the time to be reckless, since those people dare to break into the palace at night, there must be some kind of tricks, what if there are three long and two short?" ”

Generally speaking, the Jinying Mansion is like an iron wall, no one would think of breaking into the Jinying Palace, at this juncture, Xiao Shao brought people when he was about to return to the dynasty. It was still in the position of the army, and it was already surrounded by regiments outside, and there was no one who could deliver letters to other places. The other party dispatched such obvious means, it was nothing more than to seek two things, one was for human life, and the other was for other things in the Jinying Palace.

It is not difficult to explain human life, and now there is just one more her in the Jinying Palace. As for other things....... Jiang Ruan looked at Steward Lin: "How many guards are there in this mansion?" ”

"A total of one hundred and eighty guards. The little servants and the servants, every subordinate has some martial arts," Steward Lin said: "But these people outside are mantis arms as cars, and people use bows and arrows, and the men and horses are regular, so they are simply using military means to beat us a palace." Young lady, this place is really dangerous, the young master should leave a token before leaving, if the young lady must stay, how about calling the brocade guards to protect the young lady? ”

"Nope." Jiang Ruan flatly refused: "Since these people dare to come so arrogantly, they may not have other meanings. I'm afraid they want to test the depth of Jinyiwei, is there any secret in this palace? ”

Steward Lin was stunned for a moment, looked up at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan stared at him tightly, and his eyes that had always been smiling and charming were a little sharp, and Steward Lin was stunned by those eyes, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said, "Yes." The young master deals with official documents in the palace, and some secrets are also discussed in the palace, although the old slave is not very clear, but he also knows that there should be a lot of important things in the palace. Although the protection is very good, it is inevitable that people will catch the handle. ”

Jiang Ruan's heart sank, and he said coldly: "It's really a good plan to kill a few birds with one stone." ”

"What's the explanation?" Steward Lin asked.

Jiang Ruan quickly turned around and walked towards the main hall of the palace: "It seems to be a reckless action, but at this moment, if you recruit Jinyi Wei, you can find out the true strength of Jinying Palace." If you abandon the palace and run away, you may be able to find out the secrets in the palace, and if you want to take people's lives, it will be even easier. It's a robber, but a smart robber. "Xuanli, it's really not so easy to get rid of. Now it's so aggressive. She walked fast, her footsteps did not stop at all, and the long fox fur drew a gorgeous arc in the night: "Without further ado, Lao Lin, gather all the horses in the mansion to gather in the front hall, tonight, no one is allowed to leave the Jinying Palace!" ”

Steward Lin was shocked by the ruthlessness in Jiang Ruan's words, and immediately replied: "Yes!" ”

Steward Lin's movements were really fast, and in less than half a pillar of incense, all the people had gathered in the front hall of King Jinying's mansion. Jiang Ruan stood in the courtyard of the front hall, in front of everyone, Steward Lin stood aside, and Jin Er and a few secret guards followed behind Jiang Ruan without saying a word. Everyone's eyes fell on the young lady of this future Jinying Palace, tonight's situation is dangerous, but this woman refuses to escape alone, this move has won the favor of the people in Jinying's Palace, all the ladies in Beijing are delicate, and they can have such courage, which has taught people to admire. But if there is courage and no strategy, it will not bring good luck to the Jinying Palace, so everyone wants to see what tricks Jiang Ruan can come up with.

Jiang Ruan stood in front of everyone, the deeper the night, the more gorgeous her complexion became, in such a dangerous situation, her eyes were sparkling, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, she was calm, but everyone felt the faint murderous intent on her. She said: "Everyone, you don't need me to say anything, someone is going to break into the Jinying Palace, I don't know what their purpose is, after all, the person who came is not good." You are all from the Jinying Palace, and now, if someone wants to set foot in your courtyard, they may kill your relatives, rob you of your treasures, and maybe even plant you with an assassin's hat. ”

She said coldly, as if she was talking about what would happen in someone else's house, but everyone below was shocked to hear it. It's another thing to guess what might be going on and what is actually coming out of someone else's mouth. Everyone's gaze changed slightly.

"Your master entrusted the Jinying Mansion to me before leaving, and I promised to protect its stability. Every plant and tree in this palace may be closely related to the future of the palace, and it should not be taken lightly. Therefore, tonight I will do the same, I will fulfill my promise to your master, I will not leave this palace behind, I am with you. The robbers have come in, and if you don't leave, I won't leave, and I'll stay here until the last moment. ”

Everyone looked at her blankly, and some people may wonder how Jiang Ruan, as the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, and the heroine of the entire palace, could be willing to stay here. Knowing that this was a conspiracy but refusing to retreat, there was clearly a look in those beautiful eyes that only a hungry wolf had, lonely and extremely indifferent, she was ignoring her own life.

Tianzhu stood quietly beside Jiang Ruan, from the beginning of following Jiang Ruan, she understood that the master she was with was the same as Jinyiwei in some way, no matter how the outside world changed, her heart was always strong.

Jiang Ruan coldly ordered: "Now, as Princess Jinying, I order you, all the little maids and maids, all go back to their own houses and find a place to hide." All the palace guards, you are concentrated here, focusing on guarding Xiao Shao's study and bedroom. If anyone trespasses, they will be killed. Jin Er, you want to find a way to rush out of the palace, if there is a secret passage, it is better, set all the houses around the Jinying Mansion on fire for me, Jin San Jin Si, you two put signal flares, Jin Yiwei can't come forward, the Zhao family can come forward. Her eyes were extremely cold, and her tone was unfathomable: "If you want to step into here, you have to see if you have the ability." Weighing the depth of the Jinying Palace, I want them to come and go! ”

Everyone was shocked by these almost cursed words, and could not help but look up at the beautiful hostess, who was charming and bright, her crimson dress fluttered red flowers in the cold night wind, but her tone was cruel and cold, like a demon climbing out of hell. The ridicule that flowed from the end of his eyes contained a kind of contempt carved into his bones, and everyone was a little confused. Steward Lin's palms trembled, he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he felt that Jiang Ruan at this time was very similar to Xiao Shao, it was strong and tenacious from the bones, and he would not be frightened by anything, even if the knife was in front of him in the next second, he also had the courage to calmly command his subordinates to lay out.

"Now, act now!" She commanded.
