Jintai sat in a pavilion in the post house and looked at the jewelry in her hand, all of which were sent by the ladies in the palace, and a few were sent by the prince in the capital.

The lord of Northern Burma was worried that Jintai was tied to that Pei Yuan, and he intended to come over to relieve her, and when he saw that she was sorting out those gifts, he smiled and said: "These people who have given gifts are all interested in marrying you, my little princess, don't you have a favorite?" ”

Jintai was bored and pushed the things in his hand in front of his father: "It's colorful, it's tacky, and my daughter doesn't like it at all." ”

The lord of the kingdom smiled, and casually summoned a guard and ordered, "Put away all these things for the princess." ”

After the guards left, he looked at Jintai again, and said seriously: "Father looks at the crown prince and another prince is also good, not inferior to that prince in any way, instead of wasting your feelings on a man with a marriage contract, it is better to take the time to look at other good men." ”

Jintai's eyes are full of Pei Yuan, where do you have the heart to distract yourself from looking at other men, although she learned that Pei Yuan already had a marriage contract, but since he came out of the palace, he has not given up on him at all.

"Father, I want to see Shen Jiahe." Jintai asked tentatively, "My daughter wants to see what this woman is capable of, but she can let Prince Xian refuse even me as a princess." ”

The lord of the country sighed, his daughter has been pampered and lawless since she was a child, thinking that if he doesn't agree, she will also find an opportunity to slip away by herself, so she had to reluctantly agree: "If you really want to go, you have to wait until tomorrow, and you have to promise your father that you can't make trouble in the Shen family, that is the prime minister of the court, it is not easy to offend, we are here to make peace, and we must not offend each other." ”

Shen Xiang naturally didn't know that Jintai was going to come to Shen's house on the second day to trouble his daughter, and he was still immersed in the joy of Pei Yuan's rejection of the princess of Northern Burma at this time, and he was vigorously appreciating Pei Yuan's dedication with Shen Jiahe.

"Buddha bless, Buddha bless, my daughter has finally found a good man." Mother Shen's eyes turned red as she spoke, she had been worried about her daughter's marriage with Pei Yuan, and now it seems that she has really found the right person.

Not everyone in the royal family is like Pei Shu, Shen's mother pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, took back the little tears, and took Shen Jiahe's hand and said: "He loves you so much, you must treat him well in the future." ”

Early the next morning, Jintai wanted to go directly to Shen's house to find Shen Jiahe, but before he went out, he received a summons from the palace, and the grandmother waiting outside the post house blessed her: "It was the queen mother who invited the princess to sit with her, and you came from afar, and the queen mother naturally wanted to do the friendship of the landlord." ”

The lord of the country had a suspicion in his heart, and when he saw that his daughter intended to refuse, he persuaded in a low voice: "The queen is the mother of a country, and her invitation cannot be shirked no matter what, even if you are pretending, you should go on a trip." ”

The queen looked at Princess Jintai who was brought in by her grandmother, and couldn't help but light up, she was really a beauty, but the prince just didn't open her mind, she didn't want to let such a beauty go, but she wanted to think about a woman who had been divorced.

Jintai stepped forward and saluted, and the queen smiled more and more kindly: "Give Princess Jintai a seat." ”

She took out the gift she had prepared and instructed her grandmother to send it over: "I hope the princess likes the little gift, I like you very much when I see you for the first time, and I really want to have such a beautiful daughter like you by my side." ”

Jintai just smiled and didn't answer, and the box in his hand didn't seem to have the meaning of opening it, the queen's embarrassed face stiffened, and Mama Xu had no choice but to answer: "The prince is young and promising, and when he marries the princess in the future, this daughter-in-law is not the same as her daughter." ”

"What Mama said is," the queen looked at Jintai again and smiled at her, "Speaking of the prince, I guess Princess Jintai has already seen it at the banquet yesterday, I don't know what the image is?" ”

Princess Jintai recalled that the prince who had said a word when she greeted everyone, almost had no reflection, and could only say nonsense: "His Royal Highness the Prince's Yushu is in the wind, has good knowledge, and has the model of the Son of Heaven, and is worthy of being the future prince of your country." ”

The queen smiled with satisfaction, and then boasted: "He has been smart since he was a child, and he has been taught by the emperor himself, which is indeed different from other brothers, but it is also his honor to be appreciated by the princess." ”

"I heard that Princess Jintai is choosing a husband, but I don't know that the prince may be able to get into the eyes of the princess." The queen saw that Princess Jintai never answered, so she had to speak clearly.

Jintai pondered for a moment, being able to sit on the throne of the crown prince is naturally good, and becoming the crown princess should be what her father is willing to see, but she is still unwilling in her heart.

Jintai raised his eyes to look at the queen, and respectfully blessed the body and replied: "Jintai thank the queen for her love, the prince is very good, and he is naturally the first choice as a husband, but Jintai has been favored by his father since he was a child, and his personality and temper are probably not suitable for living in the court, and Jintai himself does not want to be bound by dogma and rules, I am afraid that he will live up to the queen's good intentions." ”

After Jintai left, the queen sighed: "It seems that the two of them really have no fate, it's just that, anyway, the prince is not happy, and I don't bother to worry about this matter anymore." ”

After Jintai left the palace, he went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the little maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion saw that she didn't pay a visit to the post and wanted to drive people out, and a little maid beside Jintai said arrogantly: "Don't open your dog's eyes to see, this is our Royal Highness the princess of Northern Burma, enter your small Prime Minister's Mansion, do you still need any Laoshzi worship posts?" ”

"Shut up! Don't be rude! ”

"Where did Diao Nu come from, he dared to spread wild at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

The voices of Jin Tai and Shen Jiajue sounded at the same time, Jin Tai raised his eyes and saw Shen Jiajue, there was this man among the people who went to the post house to greet them before, and she knew that this was Shen Xiang's eldest son Shen Jiajue.

Jintai yelled directly at the little maid beside him: "I don't know the etiquette, go back and get the punishment yourself, you don't have to wait here." ”

"Princess, they ......" The little maid was unwilling, but for the good of the princess, she would reprimand, how could she be punished!

Jintai also had no intention of explaining to her, such a slave would not be used again after she went back, there was no need to teach her how to behave, her eyes widened, and coldness appeared, and the little maid was afraid and left in a panic.

"The princess understands righteousness!" Shen Jiajue looked at Princess Jintai at the door and said coldly, "I just don't know what the princess is doing here?" ”

"My maid is ignorant and bumped into your mansion, I hope Lord Shen doesn't mind, this princess just came here this time to see Sister Ling." Jintai said with a smile, his attitude was very easy-going, "I didn't know the rules of your place before, so I didn't inform me in advance, and I hope that Lord Shen will help me pass on a word to Sister Ling." ”

The dignified princess's attitude was so modest that Shen Jiajue looked at her twice, but when she thought that she had fallen in love with Pei Yuan earlier and was rejected, it must not be a good thing to come to see her sister now, maybe this humble attitude is only superficial.

He was hesitating to send people back to the inn, but before he could speak, he saw Bai Ying walk out and say, "The princess is here, Miss has prepared refreshments, please come over and talk about it." ”

"Sister her?" Shen Jiajue asked Bai Ying in a low voice.

Bai Ying just smiled and gave Shen Jiajue a steady look, and then smiled at Princess Jintai: "Princess, please!" ”

Jintai bowed to Shen Jiajue, and then walked in generously, and after following Bai Ying into Shen Jiahe's small courtyard, Jintai saw Shen Jiahe for the second time.

She was no different from that day in the carriage, and seemed to be a little more casual, but it still didn't make her temperament lose half a point.

Jintai thought that Shen Jiahe took the initiative to invite him into the mansion, and it must have taken a lot of trouble to dress up, but he didn't expect her to be so simple, because of self-confidence or because he didn't look down on himself.

Jintai bit his lip, and when he saw Shen Jiahe raise his hand, he sat down opposite her, took the tea cup that Shen Jiahe sent casually, and saw that it was not green and clear tea, but a liquid like milk, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jiahe suspiciously.

Shen Jiahe explained with a smile: "I heard that the people of Northern Burma don't like the astringency of tea, so I studied a new way to drink it with the maids around me, mixing your unique milk and rich tea soup in Northern Burma, the milk neutralizes the astringency of the tea, and adds a little milk aroma and sweetness, I taste it very well, but I don't know if it's right for the princess's appetite." ”

Jintai lowered his head and tasted it, the frankincense wandered freely in his breath, it seemed to be decomposed by the tea soup and some sweetness, but it was more refreshing than drinking in the past, and there was no trace of milky smell, which was indeed a good product.

Jintai looked at the cup in his hand, looked up at Shen Jiahe again, and said provocatively: "Should this princess understand that Miss Shen is trying to please me." ”

Shen Jiahe laughed softly: "The princess is really worried, I just heard about your habits in Northern Burma from King Xian, and knew that the cook in his house was studying the food to entertain you, so I thought about doing this, if I said to please, it was also for me to please Prince Xian." ”

Shen Jiahe didn't wait for her to speak, so he sent another teapot in front of him to Bai Ying's hand: "Send this to her mother's room, tell her not to drink too much, and if there is anything left, send it to the kitchen to be chilled." ”

She raised her eyes again to look at Shen Jiajue, who was still standing at the door, Shen Jiajue knew that this was her sister's something that she didn't want others to hear, so she nodded and said, "I still have some things to go to the study to deal with, if you have anything to do, let someone go to me." ”

He was worried that his sister would suffer under the hands of the princess, so he came over with him, and when he saw the two women sitting together, it really seemed to be watching a peerless beauty picture, although his sister was the most important in his heart, but he also had to admit that the two were really not equal in beauty and temperament.

Seeing Shen Jiajue leaving, Jintai smiled again: "Your brother seems to be afraid that I will make trouble for you." ”

"Will the princess?" Shen Jiahe looked at Jintai's eyes and asked.

"This princess doesn't disdain to do this kind of thing," Jin Tai looked at Shen Jiahe, and then found a loophole in her words, "Just now Miss Shen said that you want to curry favor with King Xian, so the relationship between the two of you is not very equal. ”

Shen Jiahe laughed again: "The princess is really joking, it's just a joke that follows the princess's words, isn't it common for me to do something for him as much as I can?" It's not all these little things when two people are together, don't you say? ”

A person who saw Pei Yuan for the first time wanted to be better than a lover who got along day and night in this regard, Jintai knew that it was impossible, she looked at Shen Jiahe and proposed: "I heard that Miss Shen is famous in the capital, why don't we have a competition?" ”

This is the point of today, Shen Jiahe smiled clearly: "Then what kind of color is there?" ”

Jintai stared at Shen Jiahe word by word and said, "Whoever loses will give up Pei Yuan." ”

Shen Jiahe shook his head, and Jintai immediately asked, "Don't you dare?" ”

Shen Jiahe shook his head again, and seeing that Jintai was puzzled, he had to explain: "King Xian is not an item, naturally it can't be regarded as a lottery head, this is disrespectful to him, and it is also your disrespect to me, you take my future husband as a bet, if I promise you, this dance will be regarded as a loss." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, why bother to find so many reasons?" Jintai said disdainfully.

Shen Jiahe got up and instructed Bai Ying, who came back from Shen's mother, to clean up all the tables, and then looked at Jintai and said: "I agree to compete with you, but I will never use my future husband as a color, if Princess Jintai insists on this, I'm afraid I can only send off guests." ”

Jintai came here just to find a sense of superiority in Shen Jiahe, and as for the lottery head of the competition, it was just talk, so she naturally wouldn't be naïve to think that Pei Yuan would give up his fiancée because of a competition.

"Okay, Miss Shen said it's good to have a lottery."

"Then we don't compare dancing, we compare archery, three arrows, if they can all hit the heart, even if they win, if they lose, please drink a drink." Shen Jiahe proposed.

Jintai was curious that everyone in the capital actually learned archery, but she was very confident in her archery skills, so she responded: "Then let's start." ”

Jin Tai came first, and each of the three arrows hit the heart, and she felt that this game was too simple to show her ability in the slightest.

Shen Jiahe nodded at her, then pulled the bow and arrows, closed one eye and aimed at Jintai's arrow cluster, she practiced archery before she trained her marksmanship, in order to exercise her arm strength and hand stability and eyes, now it is not difficult to play this at all.

Boom, the three arrows came out of the string, but they respectively penetrated the three feather arrows that Jintai shot on it before, and when you look closely, you can find that each feather arrow has been broken in half, and it is firmly fixed on the red heart by Shen Jiahe's feather arrow.

This not only requires accurate accuracy, but also requires each arrow to be very powerful, but this woman does not look like she has internal strength at all.

Jintai had to look at Shen Jiahe and admitted, "I lost." ”
