The royal family of the Jokhang Xiao clan, thousands of years old, I don't know how many families have been married. However, not all descendants of the Xiao family will have a pair of single phoenix eyes with large and round eyes and a narrow and slightly slender tail.

Although there are more such characteristics in the lineage, like Zong Zhengke, who is not surnamed Xiao, he can also inherit the side branch of the iconic phoenix eye of the founding empress, which has never been many. Presumably, the same is true of that Xiao Guifei.

Murong Huanwan suddenly realized, nodded again and again: "Ah! With that, Hongu remembered. Although Concubine Xiao Guifei came from a humble background, her mother's family is indeed related to the Yunhang Xiao family. Third girl, speaking of which, you and Concubine Xiao can still be regarded as relatives. ”

As the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Xiao is calling for wind and rain in the palace, but she is not bad to the mother and daughter of the eldest princess of Kunshan. Murong Huanwan had a good impression of Concubine Xiao, and when she saw Zong Zhengke at this time, she forgot about her slightly disrespectful attitude.

Zong Zhengke bowed his head and said humbly: "Your Highness is too elevating the little girl, how can the little girl dare to kiss the concubine!" ”

"It was meant to be, it doesn't matter if you climb or not." Walking up to Zong Zhengke with dignity, Murong Huanwan shook Zong Zhengke's hand and said with a smile, "Third girl, thank you so much, you saved Brother Shao, just like saving this palace!" This palace must not be empty these days, otherwise I would have come to thank you a long time ago! ”

Zong Zhengke raised his palm with one hand, chanted the Buddha's horn in a low voice, and then calmly replied: "God has the virtue of a good life, although the little girl has not officially become a monk, but she has served the Buddha for many years, so she will naturally keep the idea of compassion in mind from time to time. Your Highness, your gratitude, I'm afraid the little girl can't bear it. ”

Murong Huanwan shook her head and said, "No matter what you think, it is a fact that you saved Brother Shao, and you deserve a thank you from this palace!" This palace has brought some small gifts, and please accept it! In addition, Brother Shao said that since this land deed is on your carriage, there is no need to return it. His life is much more valuable than a store! You can take it all! ”

Yan Yushu couldn't sit anymore, so Ying Ying walked up to Murong Huanwan and helped persuade her.

Zong Zhengke sighed secretly in his heart. Seeing that the two princesses were full of sincerity, they suddenly said: "The two highnesses treat the little girl so kindly, the little girl is really shameless, and she doesn't dare to hide it from each other with excuses." In fact. This title deed was not lost by the fourth young master on my carriage at all, but a thank you gift from the fourth young master to the little girl, but the little girl didn't dare to accept it. ”

Murong Huanwan was stunned, blinking her eyes and not speaking. She is not stupid, and vaguely feels that there is something in Zong Zhengke's words. Something is very wrong. Yan Yushu's face remained unchanged, but the gloom of the moment flew through the bottom of her eyes.

Zong Zhengke smiled slightly, and his cold and indifferent expression suddenly changed amazingly because of her smile. Murong Huanwan and Yan Yushu both looked downcast, and their faces became even colder.

"Venerable Su Hui once gave the little girl a fate, and the little girl should not marry before the age of eighteen, otherwise she may be suspected of being a husband." Zong Zhengke ignored Zong Zheng's changing face, lowered his eyes, a little sadness appeared on his face, and muttered, "So." Any gift from a foreign man, the little girl would not dare to bear it. This title deed ......"

"You really can't take it, so I'll keep it for myself." Murong Wan snatched the title deed that had been stuffed into Zong Zhengke's palm, and squeezed it tightly between his fingers. He asked uneasily, "Brother Shao has been in the same car with you, is it okay?" ”

"As long as you don't get married, it's okay. Otherwise," Zong Zhengke said slowly, "Your Highness thinks that the Fourth Young Master can still live to this day?" He got sick. The little girl once heard Venerable Su Hui mention that it was a heart disease, and she couldn't move her breath. Once you move, life and death are only in a moment. On the carriage that day. The little girl was a little slower, and he went at that time. ”

"Third girl, why is Cousin Shao in your carriage?" Yan Yushu asked suddenly.

As for how Venerable Su Hui knew about Pei Si's condition, she didn't have any doubts, because she had long known that the eldest princess of Qinghe and Venerable Su Hui were friends who had forgotten their years. There are many masters of apricot forests in the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom, and the eldest princess asked Venerable Su Hui for help for Pei Si. It's quite possible.

Just know you're going to ask. Zong Zhengke waited for Yan Yushu to ask a question, so he said calmly: "That day, the fourth young master made a special trip to find the little girl, and bluntly said that he had no intention of marrying the little girl. The little girl also replied to the fourth young master, the little girl was dedicated to cultivation and had no intention of marrying him. At that time, although Pei Si didn't say such a thing directly, his attitude was obvious.

Glancing at Murong Huanwan, Zong Zhengke continued: "Seeing Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng today, the little girl knows what the Fourth Young Master said is because. His Royal Highness is blessed with both blessings and longevity, and is also blessed by the gods, and can also extend the blessings to others. ”

"Really, what you said is true?!" The dark clouds on Murong Huanwan's face suddenly dissipated, and she was so overjoyed that she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. Even the palace people who served her were all overjoyed, as if their princess could get her wish in the blink of an eye.

Zong Zhengke stood with a smile, his eyes flowing, and he saw Yan Yushu's slightly stiff expression clearly. As expected, Yan Yushu said in a trembling voice: "The third girl still knows how to read people's faces? Why don't you take a look at this palace too? ”

Murong Huanwan affectionately grabbed Yan Yushu's arm, leaned Zhenshou on her shoulder, and said to Zong Zhengke with a smile: "That's right, I also bother the third girl to help Sister Bengong take a look." ”

Zong Zhengke said slowly: "The little girl has been cultivating for ten years, and thanks to the care of Master Huiyi of the Pure Liuli Nunnery, she learned some insect carving skills from Master Tai to observe people's faces, but she is not proficient in it. After Venerable Su Hui stayed in the Liuli Nunnery, because he saw it at first sight with the little girl, he taught the little girl more on this method, but the time was short after all. Therefore, what the little girl said is a superficial theory, and the two highnesses don't have to take it seriously. ”

This is to answer Yan Yushu's previous question, and then Zong Zhengke said: "As for Her Royal Highness Princess Taicheng, you are naturally also rich and honorable. ”

"If it's true, how not to take it seriously! If you want this palace to say, three girls, you have been taught by Venerable Su Hui, and you must be extremely accurate in looking at people! Murong Huanwan hurriedly agreed, let go of Yan Yushu, took the gift slip from the palace maid's hand on the silver plate, handed it to Zong Zhengke with both hands, and said sincerely, "Third girl, please don't refuse." It's the heart of Yasumoto, how about it? ”

At this time, Zong Zhengke was only afraid that there would not be enough silver, and he would never think that there was too much silver and he would bite his hand. "Thank you for the reward, princess!" She generously accepted the gift list and made a gesture to kneel down to thank her, but was stopped by Murong Huanwan and insisted on refusing to let her make a big salute. And she bowed her knees and blessed herself.

The goal was achieved, and she got such good criticism, Murong Huanwan was really satisfied tonight. She has not eaten well or slept well in the past few days, and she is in a happy mood at this time, and the deep exhaustion like a tide suddenly hits her heart. Lady Chen persuaded her to go back to Muenyuan, and she agreed. The two princesses left with the palace people in the kneeling of several members of the Zongzheng family.

In front of the mansion gate, seeing the princess Luan driving into the deep night, Zong Zhengke said to Zong Zhengjin: "Grandfather, it's late at night, you should rest early." It's all granddaughter's unfilial piety, which has caused so many things to make you worry. ”

Zong Zheng shook his head and said, "What stupid things are you talking about!?" Grandfather doesn't worry about you, who else? It's not a big deal, and you're doing it well. As for Venerable Su Hui's comments, it is just that it is not suitable to marry before the age of eighteen, and it is not that it cannot be married. You don't have to take the matter to heart. ”

But my grandfather kept his brow on his frown, apparently saving the matter. Zong Zhengke felt guilty. She let out such words, and truthfully confided the truth about meeting Pei Si that day, which naturally had her intentions.

Pei Si asked the two princesses to send him the title deed to sit in the study so late, to say that he was 100% kind, Zong Zhengke couldn't believe it.

Who is he? Generally average, third in the world! It was a demon who took one step, but had already taken the next ten or a hundred steps into a bamboo in his chest. Zong Zhengke didn't want to become a suspicious person, but if that person was Pei Si, she would rather think more.

Therefore, not concealing the truth of the day and telling the two princesses frankly is the first step to eliminate their suspicions. Because of the events of that day, it really doesn't take much effort to verify it clearly. Lying to them is simply useless, but it will arouse their anger and suspicion, and they will think that she has other thoughts about Pei Si.

Finding out that he and Pei Si have no intention of each other, this is the second step, just to reassure them. Because Zong Zhengke knows very well that not only Princess Yicheng, but even Princess Taicheng has a deep affection for Pei Si. In her previous life, the two good daughters of the eldest princess of Kunshan made a drama of sisters competing for husbands, but it pleased many people. She can only watch the show if she stays out of it.

and then take this good opportunity to fall from the sky to spread her criticism that "it is not appropriate to marry before the age of eighteen", at least in five years, she will not need to worry about these things. As for what to do when you get older, you can adapt to it. Or, then, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Even if he knew that such words might hurt his grandfather's loving heart, Zong Zhengke could only whisper sorry to his grandfather. At this time, listening to her grandfather, she didn't forget to comfort herself, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Granddaughter won't think cranky, grandfather is relieved." ”

Zong Zhengjin slowly bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, grandfather will definitely take care of you." The worst plan is just to let you set up a female household to give birth and recruit a husband, and find a gentle and generous son-in-law to live a good life. Moreover, it will not be so. ”

Zong Zhengke replied softly: "Yes, with my grandfather here, my granddaughter is fine. ”

"Go back quickly, Ming'er doesn't have to get up early, and she doesn't have to go to the room to say goodbye." Zong Zhengzheng urged again, instructed someone to prepare a soft sedan chair, and watched Zong Zhengke get on the sedan chair and return to the room.

But he himself walked back to Helu Tongchun Hall slowly, and he had already made up his mind all the way - no matter how many years he could still fight in the court, he would have to show himself well, and strive to have a more decent official position in front of Zhishi, and it would be easier for Ke'er to say goodbye in the future.
