Following.

Before dawn, the prison guards released Qi Sheng early. There is also the housekeeper Mama who personally took Qi Sheng to the Yiluo Palace where she lived in the palace last time to dress up.

Qi Sheng knew what day it was, it was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and it was also the day to give Zhu Changluo an answer.

Qi Sheng didn't know if Hua Yunsheng had successfully approached Zhu Changluo, and he didn't know what method she would use. Qi Sheng didn't want to resign herself to fate like this, but the current situation told her that she didn't have the ability to change her life against the sky.

"Miss Qi Sheng is really a beauty, I'm afraid that the son of the former general's mansion will step through the threshold of the general's mansion." Mama was curling Qi Sheng's hair while teasing Qi Sheng, wanting to relieve the embarrassment of the atmosphere.

Because Qi Sheng doesn't like to talk much, he doesn't have any look on his face, and his faint appearance is easy to be misunderstood as a bad mood.

"Not really." The expression on Qi Sheng's face did not change, his thin lips opened lightly, and he only left this sentence.

The atmosphere did not seem to ease, but rather more awkward.

Mama didn't force Qi Sheng, she knew that Qi Sheng, the daughter of General Qi, had a cold temperament and didn't care about anything, so she expected such a reaction.

After a while, only the sound of Mama painting Qi Sheng's eyebrows and eyes was left in the room.

Qi Sheng suddenly said: "Mama, do you know where my father is now?" ”

Mama was a little flattered, she didn't think that this Qi Sheng could take the initiative to talk to her, "Miss Qi Sheng is relieved, General Qi has just returned to Beijing, at this time, it should be in the early dynasty." When the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother began at noon, the girl could be seen. ”

On the early dynasty? It seems that this ordinary person is not what happened to his father and himself, and this matter was buried by Zhu Changluo early.

On that day, Zhu Changluo also promised Qi Sheng to clarify the guilt. This is good, it has not been spread, and there is no need to bother the emperor to clarify.

"Mama Xie." Qi Sheng rarely smiled lightly at people, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.

After half a morning of dressing up, it's finally over.

Qi Sheng sat on a sandalwood stool, his legs almost numb.

Mama instructed Qi Sheng that there would be half an hour before the birthday banquet began, and before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet began, she could walk around the palace at will, enjoy the flowers, and look at the fish.

When Qi Sheng pushed open the door of the carved flowers, Ye Cao in official uniform suddenly appeared in his sight.

Seeing Ye Cao so serious for the first time, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Ye Cao deliberately waited here for Qi Sheng to come out, and the housekeeper was the one he arranged for Qi Sheng to dress up.

But Ye Cao suddenly saw the fairy-like person in front of him, and he couldn't help but be reluctant to take his eyes off her.

Maungbi Shih Tzu. All beautiful words are not enough to describe Qi Sheng's beauty at the moment.

Qi Sheng in front of Ye Cao was wearing a pale pink dark flower filament pleated satin skirt, with a white sheep fat hairpin inserted in Lingyun's bun and a Yingluo pendant.

The first time I saw Qi Sheng dressed up so seriously, he was so handsome.

Qi Sheng's deep eyes revealed a little helplessness, how could this Ye Cao not be as unapproachable as rumored, and repeatedly broke into her life and disrupted her rhythm.

"What?" Qi Sheng didn't say much, turned around and slowly closed the door, and said to Ye Cao, who was a little stunned.

Before Qi Sheng could turn around, Ye Cao's hands suddenly wrapped around Qi Sheng's waist.

Ye Cao's deep and magnetic voice appeared in Qi Sheng's ears again, "What's wrong?" Can't you find the princess of this king if you have nothing to do? ”

Qi Sheng turned around and pushed Ye Cao away, Zhu Changluo was going to marry her to others, how to become his princess.

Thinking about this, Qi Sheng was a little jealous in his heart.

"Don't hug me." Qi Sheng said to Ye Cao, who was pushed away, his eyes were a little flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Ye Cao.

"Whoever hugged you, but give you back the jade pendant." Ye Cao's big hand suddenly touched Qi Sheng's head and touched it.

Qi Sheng looked down at the white jade pendant wrapped around Ye Cao's waist, she didn't know when this thing fell. It is still engraved with the word "曌", and when you walk, you will unintentionally touch the tassel with beads under the jade pendant, and the beads collide with the sound of clanging.

Ye Cao suddenly picked up Qi Sheng, who was standing in place, a little stunned. "Let's go, take the little lady around the palace." There was a smile in his eyes, and seeing that Qi Sheng didn't shake off his hand, his thin lips were gently hooked, and his heart was much more comfortable.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is still in full swing. Many young eunuchs are arranging the decorations in the hall, and the little palace maid is also ready to start arranging.

The moment Ye Cao took Qi Sheng's hand, many palace maids saw it. are all chattering about the gossip, who is this Huainan King Ye Cao's person who looks like a fairy. Looking at this appearance, temperament, will it be a young lady who has not come out of the cabinet.

Qi Sheng was then dragged by Ye Cao to wander around the Imperial Garden, and it was difficult not to be discovered.

Before entering the hall, Qi Sheng glanced around, and finally saw his father.

Through the crowd, they finally came to Qi Ye's side one after another.

Qi Ye seems to be recovering well, and he should not have suffered anything in the edict, this Zhu Changluo is really strange, and he was inexplicably caught and agreed after she put forward conditions. Could it be that he deliberately threatened to enter the palace or marry Su Bai?

"Father." Qi Sheng grabbed Qi Ye's arm, Qi Ye inadvertently dodged, his expression changed a little but quickly hidden, it seemed to be in pain, obviously he didn't want Qi Sheng to feel his abnormality.

Qi Sheng looked at his father who was a little abnormal, so it seems that the light breeze on the surface may be pretended.

"Sheng'er, don't be reckless to the emperor because of your father." Qi Ye looked like Ling Ran was upright, and smiled lovingly at Qi Sheng. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a smile were all squeezed together.

He's a father, and he wants to take on his share of responsibility. No matter whether he lives or dies, he doesn't want his Sheng'er to bear the pain he deserves in his place.

Qi Sheng didn't say much, staring at Qi Ye with a smile in his eyes, and saw Qi Sheng smiling so sweetly. "Daddy, don't worry, Sheng'er is at the mercy of Daddy's arrangement."

Although Qi Sheng said this, she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

My father didn't want her to get involved in this court, all because he wanted Qi Sheng to be a good family and spend this life in peace. Don't fall in the footsteps of him and his mother.

Both of them had their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Seat ---." It was Xiao Cuizi's familiar voice that passed through the main hall, echoing non-stop.

He had not waited many hours outside the temple before he was called to his seat.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was very lively, and it was extraordinary. But there is also some restraint in the excitement. After all, this is a palace banquet, and everyone dare not go beyond it.

Although the queen mother is the protagonist this time, she abides by the rules, and she is the emperor Zhu Changluo sitting on the main seat. Empress Xiaoyuan Guo stayed on the right side of Zhu Changluo, and the old man of the Empress Dowager sat on the left. There is also a girl with a figure and Qi Sheng who looks very familiar. It seems to have been seen somewhere.

The subsequent ministers sat in turn according to their official positions.

Qi Sheng and Qi Ye are not far from the emperor's throne, and from time to time Qi Sheng can feel the unusual gaze from Zhu Changluo. After being discovered by Qi Sheng, Qi Sheng stared at him directly, making Zhu Changluo uncomfortable, so he toasted Qi Sheng awkwardly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

In addition to Zhu Changluo's gaze, there were several eyes that inadvertently hit Qi Sheng.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Qi Sheng attended a palace banquet with his father. It's not right to say that this body is pretending to be sick, in the end it is a little thin. When he was born, he was not easy to see the wind, and when he was a little older, he was sent by his father to her master, and became a girl who grew up soaking in a medicine jar.

Therefore, there are some reasons why this palace banquet is not often attended, but most of them are because Qi Ye does not allow it.

He Qi Ye was afraid that his daughter would be targeted by the ministers in the court. Qi Sheng's mother didn't take on another concubine, and Qi Ye didn't take another concubine, all her thoughts were on Qi Sheng.

Unlike other families, disputes between concubines often occur.

"It's been two years since Sheng'er and Lu, General Qi. It's better to take advantage of the big day such as the Queen Mother's birthday, and settle Sheng'er's marriage by the way, what do you think? Zhu Changluo got up suddenly, waved his dragon robe, shook his waves, held his wine glass, and said to Qi Ye.

Qi Ye stood up, a little reluctant in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, he waved at Zhu Changluo, and said with a smile: "If the emperor is willing to find a good family for the little girl, it is also excellent." ”

"Oh? How does Sheng'er look at this Su family? Zhu Changluo's eyes seemed to be smiling, floating on Qi Sheng and Qi Ye.

"I don't know which Su family the emperor said." Qi Sheng's flat eyes didn't seem to be able to make the slightest ripple, and an indifferent look appeared in Zhu Changluo's sight again. Qi Sheng's cold voice echoed in the hall again.

It seems that Qi Sheng's words are no longer noisy in the hall. Qi Sheng already looks like a country and a city, and he has a temperament that no one can approach, which is different from those women in other families who are either obedient or arrogant, and it has attracted everyone's attention. Moreover, she was actually by Qi Ye's side today, and a woman she had never seen appeared next to General Qi Ye, and her identity would naturally be speculated a lot.

Zhu Changluo laughed a few times, and his face became a little red from the wine. In fact, this Zhu Changluo's appearance is not bad, he is only thirty and eight now, and when he is in the prime of life, many women will not feel that they have lost half of their lives in the palace when they marry into the palace. Because, as far as these people who are bound to marry as a family, Zhu Changluo is a good match.

"Naturally, it was Commander Su who made Su Bai and the daughter of the Qi family right." Zhu Changluo looked at Qi Sheng again, his drunken appearance at the moment was very cloudy, but his eyes looking at Qi Sheng were not cloudy at all.

Only Qi Sheng could read the meaning in his eyes.

Since there is no need to forcefully ask her to enter the palace as a concubine, then she Qi Sheng is reluctant to marry Su Bai.

Qi Sheng didn't say much, and his eyes were indifferent.

Zhu Changluo drunkenly aroused Su Bai and asked him if he had agreed to the marriage.

Su Bai was still wearing the bright red flying fish suit from before. The eyes that secretly glanced at Qi Sheng were still a little shy.

Naturally, it is good to marry a wife like Qi Sheng, who has a prominent family background and is captivating to the country and the city.

"The subordinates must follow the arrangement of the Holy Lord." Su Bai shook Zhu Changluo and said. Joy raised his eyebrows slightly.

In fact, this Qi Sheng and Su Bai grew up together as childhood sweethearts, Qi Sheng's mother and Su Bai's family are world friends, but after Qi Sheng's mother died, the relationship gradually became indifferent. And this Qi Sheng has a cold temperament, and when he sees Su Bai, who has not greeted him for seven or eight years, he is no different from people he doesn't know.

"Okay, then I will make the decision on this marriage, and choose an auspicious day, why don't you set it after March, after the fifteenth lantern festival of the first month?" Zhu Changluo glanced at everyone and saw that no one answered. Naturally, no one dared to refute Zhu Changluo's decision.
