But this also made Yun Tianyang and Yue Ziyun feel "guilty": after all, it was a bit "unfair" to the prince, but it was about the lifelong happiness of the seventh girl, and they couldn't be soft-hearted.

"Emperor Shengming," Yue's elegant smile said, "The lord instructed that the brocade box can only be opened on the day of the seventh girl and the di, Kexin will be fourteen next year, and the distance from the dilu is only a few months, and if the prince wants to participate, he will have to bother him to go to the Guogong Mansion." ”

"Yes," said the Emperor, "I will summon him in a moment, explain to him the general situation of the matter, and listen to his thoughts before making a decision." ”

In this regard, Yun Tianyang and Yue Ziyun finally relaxed, and soon retired and left the palace, the emperor immediately sent Wu Gonggong to invite the prince Qin Ke to come to see, Qin Ke entered the palace, the emperor retreated, and told the prince the ins and outs of the matter, and finally said-

"Emperor, my father is also a little hesitant," in the study, Qin Yan sat behind the first case, looked at the prince and said, "I hope you seize this opportunity, after all, many things still have to be fought for by yourself, but I am afraid that you will end up happy and disappointed - it is better not to go." ”

"No, Erchen is going!" Qin Ke put one hand behind him, rested his elbow in front of his abdomen with the other, stood upright, and said stubbornly, "Not only for the unique way of the second master, but also for the woman I like." "The emperor is a little contradictory: from the bottom of his heart, he loves this prince very much - the smartest of the many princes, highly perceptive, and well versed in the way of monarchs and ministers, he has not paid much attention to him since he was a child, and he had to execute Zhen'er last time, the relationship between father and son is a little stiff, if this matter can be as the prince wishes, it may be able to ease the relationship, but Concubine Xiang said to him in private last time that the queen's niece Nalan Lan is more orthodox, and Nalan Lan becomes the crown princess, and the ministers will not have objections, so that there will be no court dispute that is conducive to the stability of the political situation. It can also win the hearts of relatives...... This shook Qin Yan's original intention of establishing Yun Kexin as the crown princess, and it just so happened that Yun Tianyang came to show the "complexity" of Yun Kexin's family affairs, so he pushed the boat down the river and decided to "block" -

"Emperor, since your father supports you in fighting for it," the emperor paused, and said quietly but schemingly, "then you must also promise your father that no matter what the result is, first, you must not be radical in words and deeds; Second, obey the father and mother once, and let the county lord of Nalan Lan be the crown princess. ”

The crown prince was slightly stunned by the emperor's sudden words, but he quickly understood his father's intentions, he took a breath, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Yes, my father ......."

The Emperor saw that in the prince's wide eyes, the flames were burning and extinguishing.

"Emperor, in the emperor's family, you will face a choice that is ten million times more difficult than this in the future, and my father hopes that you will 'adapt' as soon as possible," the emperor glanced at the prince, and his expression was solemn in an instant, "As the king of a country, I can't 'do whatever I want', let alone you...... This time, I will give you a chance, it depends on whether the emperor and the seventh girl are fateful, if so, the father will immediately issue a holy decree, if not-"

"Father!" Qin Ke quickly cut off the emperor's words, and said in a low voice, "The son must abide by today's agreement and never regret it." ”

Only then did the emperor nod with satisfaction, the goal in his heart had been achieved - no matter whether the prince could get what he wanted, he would not "suffer".

In the early spring of the following year, on February 11 of the 28th year of Taihe, Yun Kexin was fourteen years old, and on the day of her and Lu, there was an endless stream of people who came to participate in the ceremony of the ceremony, praising Miss Seven for her "flower and moon appearance, and the fragrance of the country," especially changed her hairstyle, from a slim little girl to a charming beauty, and the prince, Fu Yihang and Tong Zhichen who were present saw that their eyes were straight, their hearts were shaking, and the wind was singing, from the moment he entered the mansion to see her, his eyes never looked away - also at this time, He had only noticed the subtle changes from her neck down, and her handsome face was covered with a suspicious reddish. Then I remembered that before today, she suddenly ran to him and said something "inexplicable", and asked him not to ask more, just remember, will it have anything to do with the brocade box?

In the imagination, Yun Kexin and the gift of Lu are over, and then it is time to solve the "mystery of the brocade box" that has been "plagued" for more than ten years - except for the white-haired three old ladies Yun Jinxiu, the whole Yun family gathered in the Beiyuan ancestral hall to see the "mysterious" brocade box.

Yun Ke held the brocade box that the second master Yun Tianyou had exchanged for his life in both hands, and carefully placed it on the table, and everyone's eyes looked at it - it was a well-made rosewood lacquered wooden box, more than ten years old, and it was still as new as it was back then. Yun Ke opened it, and was surprised to find that there were three hairpins of gold, copper, jade, and wood in the brocade box from left to right, and everyone turned their curious eyes to Yue's. Only Yun Tianyang saw the "secret" and smiled silently. Yue Ziyun got up, walked unhurriedly to the center of the hall, and said up and down to the Yun family: "The master's last life is that which son has a relationship with the seventh girl, and the party is the seventh aunt of the Yun family," Immediately, the Yue family looked at the three men standing side by side not far from the table, and smiled indifferently, "Prince, prince, Fu Shizi and Young Master Tong, let's take a fair way, first draw lots to decide who will come forward first to choose a hairpin as the 'Yun Kexin' in your heart, and once the hairpin is chosen, it cannot be changed, can there be any objections?" ”

"Nope!" Feng Yinxiao was the first to answer.

Immediately afterwards, the prince, Tong Zhichen and Fu Yihang seconded the proposal. Subsequently, Yun Ke wrote on the four pieces of paper in front of the table in public, put them in a clay pot, and walked in front of the four people and asked them to "draw lots". The result was that Fu Yihang was chosen first, the prince was second, and Feng Yinxiao was third. Yun Kexin's heart suddenly mentioned her throat and eyes: Feng Yinxiao was actually the last to choose! Then I can only count on Fu Yihang and them not to give a "mistaken" choice, Feng Yinxiao and Yun Kexin thought of a piece - as early as when the wooden hairpin appeared in the brocade box, the two of them thought of Yue's words.

When he was anxious, Fu Yihang's confident voice was already heard: "Second lady, I choose the golden hairpin," he walked to the brocade box and took off the golden hairpin and walked to Yun Kexin and said with a smile, "Cousin Kexin, in my heart, you are as noble and gorgeous as gold, so I choose the golden hairpin." ”

Yun Kexin sighed and sneered in her heart: The most difficult moment was passed so easily, Fu Yihang, although you are proud now, I promise that it will not be long before you go back to the Han Wangfu to drop the cup, yes! Marrying one of the other three people besides you is also a hundred times stronger than you.

Fu Yihang stood back in place, and the next was the prince, but seeing the prince walking calmly towards the brocade box, his eyes were like torches looking at the three hairpins next to him in front of him, and he fell into deep thought, Yun Kexin's heart that had just been relaxed suddenly rose again: she forgot that Fu Yihang's IQ was not comparable to that of the prince, and Qin Ke was what she should really "fear", if it weren't for her mother and adoptive father in order to give the emperor an explanation, she really didn't want the prince to participate in this matter, because if she was selected this time, there would be no excuse.

In the afterglow, Yun Kexin saw all kinds of facial expressions up and down the Yun family - the longing of the grandmother and the second uncle, the anxiety of the fourth uncle, the suspicion of Fu Lianyin, and even Yun Tianyang, who had "greeted" in advance, couldn't help but show a palpitating expression, only the mother Yue's face was calm and calm, however, the prince's next question really scared Yue's startle:

"Second lady, can this prince ask Miss Seven when she was born?"

At this time, even Feng Yinxiao's palms began to sweat, until his back was cold-the prince has dabbled in metaphysics and the Book of Changes, and even studied it a little, if he deduces it......

"February 11 of the 14th year of Taihe." Yueshi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and told the truth.

"The fourteenth year of Taihe is a rabbit," Qin Ke looked at the three hairpins of jade, copper, and wood in front of him again, and said with a light in his eyes, "Then it should be-"

When he stretched out his hand and was only a finger away from the wooden hairpin, he suddenly hesitated, and he turned his gaze to Yun Kexin, but he saw Feng Yinxiao and Yun Kexin's clasped hands - he inadvertently saw her pale face due to nervousness, and the whole person trembled as if she couldn't stand still, and couldn't help but walk to her side, and naturally helped one of her arms, unfortunately this scene was seen by Qin Ke, and in an instant, the eyes that were previously filled with the light of victory suddenly lost their lustre, and the joy and excitement on her face disappeared......

After hesitating again and again, Qin Ke frowned and took off the hosta, and silently walked in front of Yun Kexin.

"Miss Seven, this prince chose a hosta," the prince looked at Yun Kexin and explained with a smile, "In my heart, Kexin is as beautiful and elegant as jade, and there is no lack of coldness and tranquility, I think that jade is the most suitable for you." ”

I don't know why, the prince chose the hosta, and Yun Kexin felt guilty in his heart, because he deliberately chose a bad one, why is this? What was the reason for the prince to make another choice against his will?

Yun Kexin was puzzled, noticed the wide palm of Feng Yinxiao on his arm, panicked, broke free lightly, and said in a low voice: "Junhou, it's your turn to choose." ”

Feng Yinxiao seemed to have just come back to his senses, hurriedly let go of his hand, and pretended to walk to the brocade box as if nothing had happened, although he had already counted it in his heart, he still took off the wooden hairpin after a while, walked to Yun Kexin, and said with palpitations: "Kexin, I choose the wooden hairpin, the fourteenth year of Taihe is the Year of the Rabbit, the rabbit is wood, if I expect it to be good, this wooden hairpin should be engraved with your generation eight characters," he said and turned sideways, handed the wooden hairpin to the Yueshi, and said calmly, "Second lady, please verify the ......"

Yue's face couldn't help but show excitement, and in the words she asked the seventh girl to convey, she did not reveal that the wooden hairpin was engraved with the eight characters of her birthday, and the Marquis of Qingyuan was able to understand the intention in the master's heart, which shows that Feng Yinxiao is suitable to be the seventh aunt of the Yun family in any way.
