"Hmm." The man straightened his back and nodded faintly.

"You"

"Me"

"Brother Xia, please speak."

"What you asked, well, grandmother did ask you to marry into Prince Ke's mansion as a daughter-in-law in front of the emperor." Xia Nanjing's face was already shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

But he could see that as soon as he finished speaking, the girl in front of him was immediately petrified on the spot. It looked like it had been struck by lightning.

He felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked again, "You don't want to marry in?" ”

"Yes, my mother has made a marriage contract for me since I was a child, how can I regret it!"

It turned out that what the old lady said was indeed true, and the old princess really went to the Holy Lord to ask to marry her into Prince Ke's mansion! However, it was really annoying to make her marriage contract without her permission, no matter how generous her heart was. The words were a little stiff.

Xia Nanjing frowned, and did not speak immediately, but looked at Sister Hui for a long time in the night, and then slowly asked again: "You, do you want to marry me?" ”

When Sister Hui heard this, she couldn't help but take a step back with one foot, but she just stepped on the empty flower field and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, on the side, Hongyu quickly grabbed her.

After she hurriedly stood up, she looked up at Xia Nanjing and said, "What did Brother Xia say!" What does this have to do with you? ”

"Grandmother begged the Holy Admiral to grant me a promise, although now I have no merit and fame, no official position, and no family title compared to Guyuan's identity. But in the future I can give you more, and you don't want to? Xia Nanjing said again.

Sister Hui'er's brain seemed to wander around in the sky, and when Xia Nanjing stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes as if waiting for her to answer, her brain seemed to be only half back, and she replied: "But I have the fate of my parents with Brother Guyuan, and I am a childhood sweetheart." ”

"You and I have the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, and we also have the grace of life and death." Xia Nanjing said lightly.

Sister Hui opened her mouth, her face showed annoyance, and blurted out: "I'm just married!" You guys are robbing relatives! You are like this, how do you explain to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, how to explain to my parents under Jiuquan? ”

After saying it out loud, the hands placed on his side were shaking.

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll take care of it. Sister Hui, if you marry me, in the future, Prince Ke's Mansion will definitely help Brother Xuan to sit in a peaceful position. Xia Nanjing said again

"This is the condition that Xia Sanshao gave me?" Sister Hui smiled coldly

"You can understand it this way." After a long time, Xia Nanjing nodded lightly.

In the winter night at the end of autumn, the temperature in this garden was probably higher, Sister Hui felt that her face was hot and wet, and Xia Nanjing's admission made her feel a little depressed. She seemed to have a lot to ask, a lot to say, and as soon as she looked up, those cold star-like eyes stared at her so straight that she couldn't speak.

In the past, she just felt funny when she looked at that young and old face, but now she felt a little resentful in her heart.

"Why? Why did the old princess do this? "Sister Hui couldn't believe that the old princess would take the initiative to marry her, because apart from the Qin family, they hadn't seen each other for four years.

"Because I want to marry you." Xia Nanjing replied slowly.

Hearing this, Sister Hui raised her head in a hurry and crashed straight into the eyes that led to the infinite world, she felt that her face seemed to be much hotter, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to flick it. She felt as if she should say something, but she still didn't seem to know what to say, so she hung her head again and fell silent.

But the dull and dull feeling in my heart seemed to be blown away by the cool breeze.

She seemed to be about to nod, but Xia Nanjing walked a little closer, stopped in front of her, and slowly spoke: "The Seventh Prince is disabled, and the emperor has always felt guilty, and he has taken care of him. The mother concubine of the seventh prince was born in the Gao family of the imperial merchant in Jiangnan, although she is only a businessman, but her wealth is piled up. The queen's faction is interested in the money of the Gao family. coincided with the growth of the seven princes year by year, the marriage of the three princes and the appointment of the five princes as concubines successively made the concubines worry about the relatives of the seven princes, and tried to visit several people's homes, but they all shirked because of the disability of the seven princes, and they became more and more worried. The queen saw this opportunity, remembered you, and asked Mrs. An Ning Houtai for help, and she was the master to promise you to the Seventh Prince. ”

Sister Hui couldn't help but slowly get up from the stone bench, what a ruthless and poisonous Li family, if this marriage is real, it is a royal marriage contract, no matter what the situation is in the future, this marriage cannot be escaped. Die or marry!

As soon as the queen mentioned this matter to the emperor, the emperor did not object. After that, An Ning was summoned to talk, and a consensus was reached. Fortunately, someone in the palace of His Royal Highness the Third Prince informed that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had promised Lord Chu to take care of you, and my grandmother did not want to see the queen grow stronger, so she went to the palace to beg you before the Holy Decree. ”

"Why did the emperor agree to the old princess?" Sister Hui asked again

"Because he owes more to Prince Ke's mansion." Xia Nanjing said this with a little coldness.

"Do you know what the godmother?" At this time, Sister Hui was already a little dumbfounded

"I don't know if Aunt Jingqi knows, but she has always had close contacts with people in the palace, and she knows if she wants to. But she won't be able to save you, because"

"Because no one dares to rob the emperor of people!" Sister Hui smiled dismally. Two streams of heat flowed all over the face unexpectedly.

Xia Nanjing gently wiped away the tears on Sister Hui'er's face, "You have always been smart, I don't want to hide it from you, so I asked you to come here today to tell you the whole story." ”

"From now on, you will be a member of my Prince Ke's mansion, and no one will dare to touch you at will. In the future, you and Brother Xuan will be my family. Xia Nanjing slowly took Sister Hui'er's hand and put it in front of her forehead, and said solemnly. It was an ancient rite of the Great Xia Dynasty, which meant that the oath of life was made to the other party.

Sister Hui stared blankly, until the big thick hands slowly left, and then she came back to her senses.

She raised her hand again to wipe her tears, raised her head, and looked straight into Xia Nanjing's eyes, an abyss, she still couldn't see anything clearly, and there was a burst of frustration in her heart, "Do I have any other choice?" ”

Just like the marriage of the Seventh Prince, this is a holy decree marriage, unless she dies, when she becomes an adult, she will be the Xia family!

Without waiting for Xia Nanjing to answer, she had already run away quickly. She could hear Hongyu's urgent shouts behind her, and she could hear the sound of Zhu Hai falling to the ground above her head, but she couldn't seem to hear the voice in her heart anymore

After King Jing's wedding night, Sister Hui fell ill with a cold and was menacing and sick for most of the month.

By the time she was able to get up, it had just snowed heavily in the capital.

"The first snow of the year is so big, it can't be said to be a difficult winter." The ink painting was playing with the charcoal fire next to him, and he was chattering with Sister Hui.

Sister Hui said lazily while drinking hot tea: "Tomorrow is Brother Guyuan's birthday, you go and prepare the clothes for me, I haven't been out for a few days." ”

"Not really! Miss, your body has always been not good for most of the month, and you don't appreciate what funny things the slave maid tells you all day long. The little girls outside all said that the slaves and maids were not pleasing to you, and said that they wanted to be sold by you. Mo Hua threw away the tongs that were playing with the charcoal fire, and pretended to be angry

"Oh, you cramped ghost, hurry up and pack your clothes, be careful of your young lady, I will sell you immediately." Sister Hui couldn't help but chuckle out loud and said pretending to be sharp.

The ink painting made a grimace, and he also laughed and ran to the inner room to prepare clothes.

"Miss, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow and it will be the day of entering the palace, what else do you want to prepare?" Qiu Ju saw that Sister Hui was in good spirits today, so she left while the ink painting was leaving, so she also asked.

"Prepare some purple potato cake and crystal cherry cake that I usually let Mother Wang make, Sister Lan and the Seventh Princess all like to eat it, and they also sent a lot of things when they were sick this time."

"In this case, why don't the slaves and maids go and do more with Mother Wang, and a few young ladies in the house have also sent a lot of things to them."

"Yes, the fourth sister gave a small black tea in Wuyi Mountain, the fifth sister gave her favorite rabbit puppet, and the eldest sister and the sixth sister also sent some things each, you and Mother Wang will also look at some gifts in return, I won't ask." Sister Hui smiled

"Yes, miss."

After that, Sister Hui had just picked up Qiu Ju's newly refilled teacup, and the door was pushed open, bringing a burst of coolness, as well as the sound of falling snow mixed with the wind outside.

"Miss, this is the medicinal herbs and some things sent by the young master, do you want to take a look?" Hongyu knelt in front of Sister Hui with a red box and asked cautiously.

(Ask for a collection!) ）
