Mao Lingfeng couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the three of them gathered at the door, walked a few steps, helped the old lady and said, "Grandmother, why come out, it's cold over there, pay attention to your body." ”

The old lady touched her granddaughter's face, looked at her face full of happiness, and was happy in her heart, "Feng'er is happy, grandmother is happy, it's not in the way, grandmother's body is tough!" The prince is good to you. ”

Mao Lingfeng's face was flushed, her bright eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice: "Very good, my husband is very good to me and very considerate." The three of them looked at her like this, and there was something they didn't understand, and said in unison, "That's very good." After speaking, the two of them were welcomed back to the mansion, and the subordinates moved the back door of the carriage into the Guogong Mansion.

Looking at the generous return salute, the three of them couldn't close their mouths. is happy in my heart, it can be seen that the prince spoils her to the sky.

The two respectfully saluted the old lady and Mao Xuqi and his wife in turn. The old man took out a brocade box and opened it, and a piece of old pit was a good double-sided jasper dragon and phoenix, crystal clear. Put it on Sima Shun's hand and said: "This is a gift from the old prince back then, and now I will give it to you, I hope you like it." ”

Sima Shun took the jade pendant with both hands and took a look, one side of the dragon and phoenix were auspicious, and the other side was a mandarin duck playing in the water, the carving was fine, and it was the hand of a famous artist at a glance. couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that it was carved by the jade carving master Li Qiaoshou." When the old lady heard this, she smiled slightly, yes, it was carved by Li Qiaoshou, and it was the old man who saved his life, and Li Qiaoshou specially carved this piece of jade and gave it to me and Guogong.

When Sima Shun heard this, he hurriedly excused himself: "Carved by Li Qiao's hands, it is worth a lot of money, and it is difficult to find money." This Ziying didn't dare to ask for it. ”

The old lady smiled and said: "This is the last words of Grandpa Guo, this pendant is only given to Feng'er's husband, and others are not allowed to touch it if they are not lawful." This jade pendant belongs to you. As long as you are good to Feng'er, what is this jade pendant. ”

A trace of envy flashed in the eyes of the Sanfang Zhao family, but there was no unwillingness.

Sima Shun cautiously took the jade pendant and said: "Feng'er, it is the love of my life, I have been waiting for her for eight years, and now I have finally arrived, no matter what I want in the future, I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”

The old lady smiled: "Grandmother believes in Feng'er's vision. So much better. ”

Mao Xuqi and Chen looked at each other and smiled, and each took out a scroll and a pair of white jade chessboards. said: "This pair of characters is the true handwriting of the calligrapher Wang Yizhi. This chessboard is carved by Li Qiaoshou's apprentices, although it is not as good as Li Qiaoshou's carving, but it is also a fine product. Mao Xuwen and Zhao also gave a meeting gift.

Sima Shun was so gracious that he could only accept it and thank him one by one. So the seven of them sat around and had lunch lively.

Mao Lingfeng sent the old lady back to Songhe Hall, and along the way, the old lady grabbed Mao Lingfeng's hair and asked questions. The shy Mao Lingfeng couldn't answer, just nodded desperately. After sending the old lady back to the bedroom and helping her lie down, Mao Lingfeng retreated. Wiping the thin sweat from his forehead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Lingxiang Pavilion, where he saw Sima Shun sitting on the bed, holding a military book and flipping through it. Suddenly, a piece of snow paper fell out of the book.

Mao Lingfeng saw it at a glance, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the snow note. was picked up by Sima Shun first. Sima Shun glanced at it and put it back in the book as if nothing had happened.

Mao Lingfeng didn't say anything, silently rummaging on the bookshelf, with a cup of tea, she found more than a dozen snow notes, put them in the brazier, ignited them instantly, and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye. It's like the past with Xie Wenjun dissipating like a cloud of smoke.

Mao Lingfeng exhaled a long breath, and the familiar smell came from behind her, Sima Shun hugged her waist and said softly: "Feng'er, it doesn't have to be like this, I don't mind." ”

Mao Lingfeng turned his head and leaned on him and smiled, "It's nothing, it's over, I should have done this a long time ago, if you hadn't turned it out today, I would have forgotten these things." It's best to do that now. Since I like you, I will love you wholeheartedly and will not leave anything from him. ”

Sima Shun looked at his wife in his arms steadily, she is such a person, she is simply broken, her love is neat, as long as she likes it wholeheartedly, she will not accept it if she doesn't love it.

The two were silent, silently watching each other. Just like that, the sunset unconsciously sets in the western mountains. Zhihua came to invite the young lady and aunt to have dinner in the front hall. After the family had dinner, Mao Lingfeng and Sima Shun said goodbye to the old lady and the Chen family and got up and returned to the palace.

Mao Xuqi and Chen sent them out of the mansion and took her hand to admonish them. Tell her not to go too far, and to be careful of feminine morality. Mao Lingfeng agreed with a smile. and Sima Shun got into the carriage and walked slowly.

Chen looked at the carriage in the distance, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, the daughter he raised became someone else's wife after all. If you want to face each other day and night, that's impossible. I let out a long sigh.

Mao Xuqi gently took her hand and said, "Feng'er finally found the person she loves, we should be happy for her." ”

Chen nodded and said, "Looking at the look on Feng'er's face, I know that the prince is kind to her, and I still have something to worry about." It's just a little reluctant. ”

Mao Xuqi sighed lightly, "How can I be reluctant, but Feng'er is going to marry after all, and now that the prince is wholeheartedly devoted to her, what else do we have to worry about."

A few days later, on the auspicious day of the zodiac, the Zhenguo Mansion was crowded, and I saw the four generals each come to the Guogong Mansion with a dowry gift.

Mao Lingfeng didn't go to the barracks today, returned to the Guogong Mansion and sat next to Chen. Looking at the two brothers and Sun Desheng, who were still followed by Li Chengyong, they were stunned.

Li Chengyong and the other three changed the letter of appointment, he knelt heavily on the ground, and said to Mao Lingfeng: "I haven't liked the general for a long time, please make it a good general." ”

What, ask to marry Zhiqi. Mao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhiqi, and saw that she was also shocked, obviously not knowing. couldn't help but ponder for a while and said: "I can't be the master of this, as long as Zhiqi likes you, I don't object." ”

Li Chengyong's eyes were burning, and he looked at Zhiqi with hope: "I know that General Zhiqi has someone else in mind, but he has refused, I have been in love with the general for a long time, and I hope to give me a chance." ”

Zhiqi bit her lip and was silent, she didn't know that what Li Chengyong said was the truth, she was just wishful thinking, in his heart, it was from beginning to end, and there was only Miss alone. I can't get into his heart no matter what. It's just that he can really let go of him and accept other men? She doesn't know, at least not yet.

Seeing that she bit her lip and was silent, Mao Lingfeng understood in her heart, and said with a long sigh: "Everything is up to you, if you don't want to, just explain it to General Li." I won't force you, but I'm afraid that you will end up with a bamboo basket for nothing. I hurt the hearts of others, and even more so my own. ”

Zhiqi bit his lip and said: "The slave maid understands, what the young lady means, but the slave maid can't agree to General Li now." In this way, I am sorry for him and I am sorry for my own heart. ”

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Mao Lingfeng looked at her and asked.

Zhiqi looked up at Li Chengyong, Li Chengyong looked at her calm expression, and was uneasy in his heart, afraid that she would open her mouth to refuse. took a step forward and said: "I am willing to wait for you for five years, if after five years, you still can't let him go." I'll let her go and marry her. Can. ”

Zhiqi was shocked in her heart, she originally wanted to take it for three years, but she didn't expect Li Chengyong to propose five years by himself. So he said: "Okay, then according to General Li's words, if I haven't liked you in five years, it will have nothing to do with you in the future." ”

Mao Lingfeng sighed, wait another five years, he will be twenty-seven years old, and Li Chengyong will be more than thirty years old. But since the two of them have made an appointment, they can't talk about it anymore.

On November 13, the Zhenguo Mansion, firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, three welcoming teams, and three big red sedan chairs stopped at the gate of the house at the same time. The three bridegrooms are in the lobby, each holding their respective brides in the hall of the Guogong Mansion.

Gao Yufei shouted: "Worship heaven and earth." Three couples knelt to the sky.

As Gao Yufei's shout sounded, "Second worship Gaotang." The three couples bowed down to the four who sat at the top.

"Husband and wife worship each other." Each of the six bowed deeply to their respective sides.

Gao Yufei shouted loudly: "Licheng, go back to your house and send them to the cave room." ”

The three brides, Zhiqin and Zhishu Zhihua, wearing red wedding dresses and with the help of Yahuan, steadily walked on their respective sedan chairs. With the praise officer Gao Yufei shouted. The three sedan chairs were slowly lifted and headed towards their respective mansions.

Mao Lingfeng watched the three sedan chairs gradually move away. A stone fell to the ground, and more than a month of preparation has finally come to a successful conclusion. Turning his head, he saw a hint of reluctance flashing in Zhiqi's eyes. Still a little confused. Sigh softly. This girl's temper and personality are very similar to herself. I don't know if five years will allow her to see her heart clearly.

So he turned around and greeted Sima Shun to congratulate the guests. Wait for the guests to disperse. The night was already deep, Mao Lingfeng also felt tired, and the two did not go back to the palace. I stayed in Lingxiang Pavilion for one night. The next morning, the two went straight to the barracks. The two went in and out together. Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in the third year, Sima Shun and Mao Lingfeng walked into the Fanghua Hall hand in hand, looked up, and couldn't help but be startled, in the past the palace banquet only the empress accompanied the emperor, and this year's palace banquet that Xu Rong'er also appeared on the emperor's right. Mao Lingfeng glanced at Xu Rong'er, her face dark. Looking at Wang Jingyu, who was sitting beside the emperor, a trace of depression flashed in her calm eyes. So he took two steps and gave a deep salute to Sima Yan and Wang Jingyu, "Long live the emperor and a thousand years old Niangniang." ”

The emperor and the queen opened their voices at the same time, "Excuse yourself and sit down." Xu Rong'er snorted coldly, her face was pale, and she couldn't have a seizure, although she was named a concubine, although the grades were all first-class, but Mao Lingfeng was specially given an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin, a special court dress. There is no need to salute her. On the contrary, if she gets serious, she still has to salute Mao Lingfeng.

Of course, she wouldn't give Mao Lingfeng a salute, and Mao Lingfeng didn't bother to care. and Sima Shun sat down in the first seat on the left.

All the civil and military officers took their wives forward in turn to see the emperor and the queen and Xu Guifei. The Emperor and Empress ordered to sit down. After three rounds of drinking, there were many official ladies who sang and danced, and the emperor was very pleased to reward a lot of things, and the young lady who was rewarded was full of joy and stepped forward to thank him.

Mao Lingfeng and Si Shun raised their glasses, spoke softly, and occasionally commented on the ladies who came forward to perform their skills. Looking at the love and happiness of the two, a woman beside Xie Wenjun looked at her fiercely with vicious eyes.

Mao Lingfeng looked up and saw Geng Fang staring at him with an unkind face. So a cold look swept over. Geng Fang met her fierce gaze and couldn't help but shudder. Hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at her. Xie Wenjun also noticed that the two of them were not looking at each other, so he turned his head and stared at Geng Fang. Geng Fang turned his head away from his gaze. But his hands were clenched tightly. Xu Rong'er, who was sitting at the top, took this scene into his eyes. After the song and dance dispersed, he called the palace maid with him and whispered a few words.
