Perhaps because he drank a little more wine at the wedding banquet, Qin Zhen's eyes looked deeper and deeper under the candlelight at this moment, and they were also slightly sparkling.

Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Zhen: "When did the prince mean the first meeting?" ”

Qin Zhen had appeared in front of her several times in different guises, making her suspicious, but she could never confirm it. It wasn't until the end that Qin Zhen revealed his true identity to her.

Qin Zhen immediately understood what Ji Xiaotang meant, and said with a smile: "Xiaotang, you still owe me a reward." ”

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Zhen obviously didn't forget that incident, and neither did she. It was the first time they had met, although neither of them knew each other's identities at the time. At that time, Qin Zhen was pretending to be an Orion in Qingyuan and was secretly visiting, but she happened to be bumped into by her, and he was arrested to save Master Ji San.

For this matter, Ji Xiaotang has always had a deep gratitude to Qin Zhen in his heart.

Although Qin Zhen was secretly visiting their Ji family at that time.

If Qin Zhen hadn't been nearby at the time, maybe she wouldn't have been able to save Master Ji San. Many of the decisions she made after that, such as choosing Qin Zhen as a collaborator and never giving up, such as following the instructions of the Empress Dowager Han to marry Qin Zhen, all have a lot to do with this gratitude.

Fundamentally speaking, Ji Xiaotang is a person who attaches the most importance to feelings and kindness.

"At that time, I didn't know the identity of the prince, so I said such things. The world is so big, who is qualified to reward the prince. When the prince talked about this, he was making fun of me. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"It's not a joke." Qin Zhen said with a straight face.

"Oh?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Xiaotang," Qin Zhen glanced at Ji Xiaotang deeply. immediately sat down next to Ji Xiaotang and let Ji Xiaotang's face face him. "Today is a big day for us to get married, and there are a few things. I want to make it clear to you first. ”

Qin Zhen suddenly changed the topic, Ji Xiaotang was slightly stunned, but then he bowed his head and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"First, I married you because I love you. It has nothing to do with your net worth background, as well as the treasure that many people in the Great Qin royal family believe in. with others. It doesn't matter either. Xiaotang, I say this, do you understand? ”

Ji Xiaotang's eyelids jumped slightly. A heart also beat twice.

Qin Zhen's eyes were full of sincerity and affection. Ji Xiaotang has also seen some people and things, and she knows that such a strong and inseparable feeling can only come from the heart, and it is by no means pretended.

"I understand." Ji Xiaotang closed his eyes slightly.

If it weren't for knowing that Qin Zhen was indeed infatuated with her. She will not marry Qin Zhen either. She died once, though. I think I can look down on everything, as long as I and my family can live safely. But when it came to the end, she couldn't be iron-hearted.

There was hot blood flowing in her body, and her heart was still soft, if she could have a choice, if she could have a choice......

"Second, I know that Ayou likes you, and you ...... There are some like Ayo. but they will not fulfill you. Xiaotang, I promise. During this time, I did not use any means. I just didn't help Ayo get you. In Ayou's view, I am snatching love with a sword. But I don't think so. ”

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang, as if he wanted to see every subtle change in Ji Xiaotang's expression in his eyes.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes flashed.

She had to admit that Qin Zhen was telling the truth, and Qin Zhen had always been very frank in front of her.

If Qin Zhen did anything about her and Qi Younian, Qin Zhen did not deliberately set up obstacles for her and Qi Younian, he even connived or helped her meet and get along with Qi Younian. But while doing so, Qin Zhen has also been striving for her favor, and taking advantage of the trend, and finally married her.

"I met you earlier than Ayou, and we have a deeper fate and bond. I think I'm more qualified than Ayou, and I'm more suitable to be with you. And, Xiaotang, you say it from your heart, you don't hate me, do you? I would venture to guess that you even like me a little? ”

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang expectantly, as if Ji Xiaotang's next answer could determine his life and death. At this moment, Qin Zhen was looking forward to it with great confidence.

At least, if there are bystanders at this moment, they will definitely think so. Only Qin Zhen himself knew that he was a little weak at the moment. Although as a prince, he is not a hairy young man, but as a lover, he is still not exempt from vulgarity in front of his sweetheart.

Regarding Qin Zhen's question, Ji Xiaotang also tortured his heart several times.

Of course, she didn't hate Qin Zhen, as for liking ......

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyelids, and his finely curled eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.

Qin Zhen saw that Ji Xiaotang's face was red.

There is no better answer.

Although it was also expected, Qin Zhen was almost ecstatic. Ji Xiaotang also likes him, maybe not as strong as he likes her, but as long as he likes it, it will be enough reward for him.

Qin Zhen likes Ji Xiaotang, and he likes Ji Xiaotang at the first sight. It's just because of his identity, his temperament, and Ji Xiaotang's life experience, although he has never concealed his feelings, but he has expressed less than one-tenth.

Such a strong love was something he had never experienced in his youth. For this kind of feeling, for a certain period of time, he was a little scared.

However, after all, he is a mature and wise Prince An, and he will neither express himself as strongly as a young man, nor will he miss Ji Xiaotang because of the shyness and awkwardness of a young man.

He finally got Ji Xiaotang, but the process was still a bit risky.

"In this matter, I regret it. If I could show my identity in front of you earlier, instead of letting you guess by yourself, maybe ......" Maybe there is no room for Qi Younian to intervene between them.

That's right, in Qin Zhen's opinion. Between him and Qi Younian, Qi Younian is a latecomer, not him who snatches love. Ji Xiaotang originally belonged to him. He was given to him by heaven.

"Xiaotang, I told you this sentence, I repeat it again. I can give up everything else in this world, but you, and I will never give up no matter what, no matter for anyone or anything. ”

Qin Zhen spoke. took one of Ji Xiaotang's hands and gently kissed the back of Ji Xiaotang's hand.

Ji Xiaotang only felt that the back of her hand was hot, and she didn't speak. Just let out a soft sigh.

Qin Zhen was still holding Ji Xiaotang's hand and put it on his lips.

Qin Zhen's lips were soft and hot, Ji Xiaotang thought, if she could touch ~ Qin Zhen's heart. It must be similar to the touch.

"Lord Wang. Is there a third piece? After sighing, Ji Xiaotang asked softly. She didn't pull out~ the hand that was held by Qin Zhen.

"Yes. The third thing, from now on, we are one body, my whole heart, my whole person is yours. Xiaotang, you can know everything about me. My everything. It's all yours, too. Qin Zhen's voice seemed to be murmuring.

Ji Xiaotang's cheeks were even hotter, and Qin Zhen's eyes were deep and almost dangerous at this moment.

"But you're Prince An. You have your responsibilities. Ji Xiaotang was reminding Qin Zhen that even if it was the wedding night, he was happy to say such love words, but he couldn't help but fulfill his responsibility.

Qin Zhen didn't seem to understand Ji Xiaotang's meaning at all, he just repeated it again.

"I've already said that for me, the only thing that matters most is you. For your sake, I can do without those things. ”

Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen deeply, she was not trying to distinguish the sincerity of his words. In any case, she and Qin Zhen are not destined to be an ordinary couple.

She believed that Qin Zhen was sincere at the moment. Moreover, Qin Zhenken said this, it was enough for her.

"Xiaotang, can you forgive me?" Qin Zhen suddenly asked Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen's open and honest attitude really moved Ji Xiaotang. And Qin Zhen's seemingly brainless question, Ji Xiaotang also reacted immediately, what was he asking.

What did Qin Zhen do, he wanted Ji Xiaotang to forgive.

"Lord Wang, in front of the Empress Dowager Han, I chose you. I married into the palace today, and I am your lady, the princess of the palace of An. Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen and said.

"Tie the hair together?" Qin Zhen asked.

"Tie the knot with one heart." Ji Xiaotang nodded lightly.

Qin Zhen smiled, he looked at Ji Xiaotang, and asked again: "Xiaotang, you just asked me, what reward do you want." Will you give me whatever I want? ”

"The prince understands my gratitude to the prince, what the prince wants, as long as he ...... I have a ......" said this, but Ji Xiaotang's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She vaguely felt that what Qin Zhen was going to ask for, she was only afraid that she would have to do her best to be able to give it.

"Xiaotang, I don't want anything else, I just want Xiaotang's heart of yours." The expression on Qin Zhen's face was solemn and a little proud, he was still holding Ji Xiaotang's hand in one hand, and the other was gently pointing at Ji Xiaotang's chest.

Ji Xiaotang has just turned fourteen years old, but he is tall and tall, and he has surpassed many adult women, and with the plump and slender nature of a girl, he naturally exudes an irresistible charm.

Ji Xiaotang tonight, especially so.

"Xiaotang, will you give it or not?" Qin Zhen saw that Ji Xiaotang was speechless, so he asked.

Ji Xiaotang could barely look directly into Qin Zhen's eyes.

Qin Zhen refused to let her go, and asked again.

He wants her heart, her heart......

"Lord Wang, my heart wants to exchange the same heart." Ji Xiaotang said slowly, word by word.

"I'm willing to exchange my heart for Xiaotang's heart!" Qin Zhen did not hesitate at all.

Ji Xiaotang raised his eyelids and looked at Qin Zhen seriously.

Qin Zhen's gaze did not dodge in the slightest, and he looked at Ji Xiaotang sincerely and warmly.

On the wedding night, Qin Zhen fully expressed his love for Ji Xiaotang.

"Lord, I ......"

"What, Xiaotang refuses?" Qin Zhen immediately said.

Regarding this question, Qin Zhen would never allow other answers.

Qin Zhen himself knew this, and Ji Xiaotang also knew it.

"Lord Wang, I will do my best, our life is still very long." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

Qin Zhen paused slightly, then nodded.

Ji Xiaotang's answer. For now, it's satisfying for him. Ji Xiaotang treats him differently than others after all. That's why I said such an answer. Qin Zhen knew that Ji Xiaotang didn't want to lie to herself, and since she said so, she would definitely really try her best.

"That's right, we have a long life ahead of us." He has a lifetime to slowly win Ji Xiaotang's heart.

Qin Zhen understands Ji Xiaotang, and he believes it. After all, he was able to get Ji Xiaotang's most precious heart.

……

The next day, Ji Xiaotang habitually woke up in the early hours of the morning without opening his eyes. She noticed that her body was unusually warm. For a moment, Ji Xiaotang didn't react, thinking that he was still in Yanhuatang, but Mama Cheng was afraid that she would be cold. A quilt was added for her in the middle of the night.

Even if you are afraid of the cold. It's not enough in this season now, Mama Cheng serves her too carefully, sometimes too carefully.

Thinking so, Ji Xiaotang stretched his waist~ limbs slightly, and suddenly felt a faint pain in a hidden place.

She reacted immediately.

At this moment, she is no longer in Yanhuatang, and she is no longer the boudoir daughter of the Ji family. Just last night, she was already married to Qin Zhen. became the princess of Prince An.

And the reason why she felt warmer than usual at this time......

Ji Xiaotang slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see Qin Zhen's smiling eyes.

Originally. Qin Zhen woke up earlier than her, so in order not to wake her up, there was no movement. And she slept in Qin Zhen's arms.

Seeing his posture clearly, even if the two of them have become husband and wife, Ji Xiaotang still feels that his cheeks are a little hot.

She pillowed Qin Zhen's arm like this, thinking that Qin Zhen should not have slept well this night.

"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang called softly, and wanted to move his body away.

Qin Zhen grabbed Ji Xiaotang and didn't let her move.

"That's good, I like the pose." Qin Zhen chuckled, "If I can, I'm willing to hold Xiaotang like this all the time, until the earth is desolate." ”

Since last night, Ji Xiaotang has already discovered that Qin Zhen is very good at talking about love.

"Won't kings reign early from now on?" Ji Xiaotang also chuckled.

Today, as newlyweds, they can't afford to be lazy, they still have too much to do. Even if Qin Zhen is the prince and she is the princess, so many etiquettes cannot be exempt from vulgarity.

The two laughed softly, watched the window outside gradually reveal a slight whiteness, and got up one after another.

After some retraction, when the two of them entered the gate of Cining Palace, it was already early hour.

The noble concubine has passed away, and Ji Xiaotang has no mother-in-law to worship, so today he will follow Qin Zhen into the palace to thank him and come to worship the Empress Dowager Han. Sitting upright in Cining Palace with the Empress Dowager Han, there are also Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han.

Ji Xiaotang first followed Qin Zhen to worship the Empress Dowager Han, and at the request of the Empress Dowager Han, he called her the queen mother.

"Yes, good boy." Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me the Empress Dowager again, you must call me the Queen Mother." Otherwise, I'll be mad at you. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Ji Xiaotang obediently agreed.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang and thought secretly in her heart.

Yesterday, what happened in the new house of King An's Mansion had already been told to Changning and Mama Fang after they returned to the palace. Changning was very aggrieved and thought that Ji Xiaotang was making a big fuss. She didn't care about Changning's words, she counted Changning down, and sent the person back to her palace to rest.

After that, she asked Mama Fang carefully.

Empress Dowager Han was not surprised by Ji Xiaotang's actions, she didn't expect Ji Xiaotang to have such a pungent side. Ji Xiaotang has always been very forbearant in the face of Changning, and he is even more deferential to her.

Ji Xiaotang's change, of course, is not a change in temperament, but only a change in status.

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Han's eyes were a little unpredictable when she looked at Ji Xiaotang. Such a Ji Xiaotang is even more difficult to deal with. Empress Dowager Han herself didn't notice that she had already been more careful when she treated Ji Xiaotang. It was the first time in so many years that she had done this to someone.

Empress Dowager Han said a few words to Ji Xiaotang about being a woman, and once again showed in public that she values Ji Xiaotang very much, she is not only Ji Xiaotang's mother, but also Ji Xiaotang's mother's family.

Ji Xiaotang was personally instructed to Qin Zhen by her.

Ji Xiaotang served tea, and Empress Dowager Han gave Ji Xiaotang a pair of jade.

Next, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen worshiped Emperor Longqing and Empress Han together.

Emperor Longqing gave Ji Xiaotang a nine-dragon inkstone, and Empress Han gave Ji Xiaotang a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets.

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui also came to Cining Palace, but the two really didn't bring Qin Yu here. According to the order of the eldest and youngest, Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang to meet Qin Zhen and Zheng Gui, and Qin Lin and Zheng Gui gave Ji Xiaotang a necklace with red gold carving and beads inlaid with treasures, which is said to be one of the favorite jewelry of the imperial concubine in the past.

Ji Xiaotang thanked him and accepted the necklace, and Empress Dowager Han sat on the seat, her face slightly stiff.

Ji Xiaotang only did not see it, and Qin Lin and Zheng Gui did not have any abnormalities, and they didn't seem to know that saying the imperial concubine would stimulate the Empress Dowager Han.

The royal family and clan of Great Qin were not prosperous, and soon Ji Xiaotang had seen all the people. Empress Dowager Han ordered a banquet to be placed, and everyone had a meal in Cining Palace before they dispersed.

Coming out of the palace~ Ji Xiaotang knew that her name had been engraved on the jade plate, and from then on, she would be an official member of the royal family.

Back at King An's Mansion, Qin Zhen accompanied Ji Xiaotang to sit in the main hall of Xuchun Hall.

The top and bottom of the Anwang Mansion were sorted by class, and they all came to visit the princess.

The first to come up to meet Ji Xiaotang was undoubtedly the two side concubines of King An's Mansion. Ji Xiaotang recognized Zheng Zi, but Song Xinyue saw it for the first time. Zheng Zi's appearance has not changed much, but she is dressed as a woman in full costume. Dressed up like this, Zheng Zi became more and more similar to her two sisters.

Song Xinyue has a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, a slender figure, and her appearance is on par with Zheng Zi, and her speech and demeanor are straightforward, not as flexible and easy-going as Zheng Zi.

Both of them respectfully saluted Ji Xiaotang, and then stepped aside and stood down.

The next people who came in to meet were the two concubines who Qin Zhen had taken in in his early years, both of whom were slightly older, had good looks, and spoke little. Then, the stewards of the inner courtyard of the palace all came to visit Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang also sent a reward.

When these people all retreated, Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen seemed to have forgotten someone. (To be continued.) )
