Zhiying saw that Zhong Luhuan was not coquettish, she was good-looking, and her voice was crisp, so she had a good impression in her heart, and she wanted to say something to get closer to the relationship, but she didn't want to be preempted by Cui Yi.

"Cousin Fang Ling," Cui Yi asked without any scruples with a teacup in his hand, "Have you ever promised someone?" ”

Zhong Luhuan was startled by his sudden words, and was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Zhong Yuanshan was also quite surprised, and didn't react for a while, thanks to his wife Zhang's timely answer: "Back to the prince's words, the little girl is fifteen this year, and she has not yet been married." ”

Zhiying had doubts in his heart, although the woman was sixteen and married, but there were not too many people who were not allowed at the age of fifteen, most families would set up a family affair when the child was twelve or thirteen, unless it was like her, who was hidden by her father and planned to marry the heavenly family, otherwise there should be a marriage contract at the age of fifteen.

She wanted to cry - it couldn't be another girl waiting to marry her cousin, would she?

But compared to Zhong Luhuan's fifteenth year, Cui Yi will take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, which surprises Zhiying even more, what does he want to do to envelop the Zhong family? Two years ago, he was pouting with his relatives, and now he himself has this heart?

Cui Yi asked, and after asking, there was no follow-up, so even Zhang's was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant, and looked at his man with inquiring eyes, Zhong Yuanshan glanced at her and asked her not to do much.

Pursuing Cui Xiang's whereabouts is the most important thing at the moment, so Zhong Luhuan's doubts are doubts, or immediately lead them to his father's study, where someone has already prepared pen and ink, she thanked the faux pas, and went to the painting case to pick up the pen, Zhiying and Cui Yi gathered around the painting case, and described Cui Xiang's appearance, eye size, eyebrow thickness, and after more than half an hour, after scrapping more than a dozen pieces of paper, Zhong Luhuan really painted Cui Xiang eight or nine images.

Holding the drawing paper and exclaiming: "My sister has such a skillful hand, even people who have never seen it can draw like this, and now there is hope for finding Huaiyou." ”

"Madame praises falsely, and Lu Wan doesn't dare to be." Zhong Luhuan owed a debt and replied with a smile.

Cui Yi also nodded again and again: "Painting is really good, at what age did you start learning to paint?" Zhong Luhuan hesitated, glanced at Zhiying first, and then lowered her head and replied: "Back to the prince, the folk girl has been learning painting with her master since she was seven years old. ”

Cui Yi praised again: "Very good." Zhong Luhuan was so frightened that she hurriedly ran away on the pretext that she wanted to send the portrait for printing.

Zhiying saw that the people ran away, and then asked, "Does the prince think it's good?" ”

Cui Yi smiled thoughtfully: "Not bad." ”

Zhiying choked and asked, "Is the painting good, or the person is good?" ”

"The painting is good, and the person is not bad," Cui Yi pointed to a long scroll of landscape ink paintings hanging behind the painting, "It is said that words are like people, in fact, painting is the same, people who can paint such artistic conception must have a furrow in their chest, and they are also born well, whoever marries her must have great blessings." ”

Holding Ying's heart was cold for a while, did he guess correctly, Cui Yi really fell in love with others?

However, seeing that Zhong Luwan was praised and fled in panic, she didn't look like a person who was in a hurry to climb the high branches, she comforted herself and said with a forced smile: "Yes, the girl's family learns more female red cooking, but there are few people who work in Danqing like Sister Zhong, I think it's not bad." ”

Cui Yi turned his head to look at her with a smile: "Do you think it's good?" ”

Zhiying smiled on his face, but his chest was stuffy: "It's really good." ”

This topic could not continue, Zhong Yuanshan sent someone to invite them over for dinner, and the two went to the dining room together. There were only Zhong Yuanshan and his wife and two sons during the banquet, and Zhong Luhuan was not seen, Cui Yi asked, Zhong Yuanshan replied: "Luhuan is not married yet, and it stands to reason that she should not face the man, so the general will let her eat in her room." ”

Cui Yi nodded when he heard it, and when he was about to sit down, he heard Zhang say: "The prince and Lu Huan are also brothers and sisters, and it doesn't matter if the brothers and sisters sit at the same table, if the prince wants to ......" "Ahem!" Zhong Yuanshan coughed hard, and Zhang obediently shut up.

Zhiying squeezed out a smile and said: "Forget it, Sister Lu Wan is the eldest girl who has not come out of the cabinet, if the reputation is damaged because of the prince's words, it is not good, the prince said yes, right?" Cui Yi had always listened to her, so he echoed a sentence, and Zhang's face was still unfinished, Zhong Yuanshan straightened his face and said, "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

At this point, Zhiying can be seen that Zhong Yuanshan and Zhong Luhuan's father and daughter have no intention of stammering them, but the Zhang family is a little excited, as if they want to marry their daughter to Cui Yi. And the trouble is that Cui Yi himself seems to have this intention, he has always rarely talked to women, he actually took the initiative to talk to Zhong Luhuan one after another, and praised her in front of him, which is very different from usual, could he be implying that he wants to accept this cousin?

So the meal was so delicious that he didn't know the taste, and his mind was full of what Cui Yi had said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like it. Zhong Luhuan is many times better than Xie Yuchan, and she is worthy of Cui Yi, the concubine of the first emperor, plus the family is the maiden family of the filial piety queen, it is also a good thing to be close to each other, Zhong Yuanshan also decided to help them, and he will probably not refuse the name of many princes.

Is it time to marry...... After Xie Yuchan's death, the position of Princess Wu was vacant, and Zhiying didn't care much about her reputation, but it was one thing for her not to care, and it was another thing for Cui Yi not to mention it, all along, she felt that Cui Yi was careless and didn't think of this, but today it seems that this may not be the case - maybe Cui Yi wants to leave the position of wife to someone else?

Thinking like this, let alone eating, that is, after eating, go back to the room to rest, Zhiying is still depressed, Zhang's diligently Zhang Luo, and specially take his daughter's proud work to hang in their room for decoration, see Zhiying feel more and more depressed, as soon as the person leaves, she sat in front of the makeup mirror in frustration, pulled out the hairpin and threw it on the dressing table.

Cui Yi shook his arm according to his shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm really tired today, come and rub my shoulder." ”

Zhiying was angry in her heart, so she went back: "The prince is a human being, I am also a human being, the prince will be tired, I will also be tired, why do I have to rub the prince's shoulders and beat his back, is there no maid in this house?" ”

As soon as the words came out, there was silence behind him, not only did Zhi Ying feel relieved, but felt even more uncomfortable, he had received so many years of education from everyone's beautiful girls, and after marrying Cui Yi, he suffered so many grievances, and he never lost his temper, but now Cui Yi just hinted that he wanted to marry someone, ordinary people are normal, and he is so out of shape, it is simply too embarrassing!

There seem to be two villains fighting in my heart, one says you do this and that for him, but he likes the new and hates the old, and when he sees the fresh and lovely cousin, he can't wait to get up, where is your face and long-term dedication? The other said that you are a concubine after all, and it is not easy for him to be willing to care about your meaning, so if you are someone else, why do you need to ask the meaning of the concubine, you are the master mother when you enter the door, how can you say no.

What Cheng Fengyi said at the beginning was finally confirmed, and he also had a day when he couldn't see Cui Yi liking other women, although he couldn't hang himself with a rope, he would probably not be happy in the future.

"Profitable? What's wrong with you today? No matter how dull Cui Yi is, he can't hear the anger in her words, but he is inexplicable, and he can't understand what she is angry about.

Zhiying casually brushed off the hairpins, earrings and other things on the dressing table, and buried her head down: "It's not much, if the prince is tired, go to sleep first, I'm not sleepy." ”

Cui Yi didn't respond, but walked behind her, stroked her shoulders and bent down to ask, "Are you uncomfortable?" Do you want someone to have a doctor take a look? ”

Zhiying shook her head sullenly, and felt a sense of self-abandonment in her heart, since ancient times, men and children have three wives and four concubines, and the emperor is even better, Cui Yi still doesn't care about her tantrums, and cares about her body, but she is jealous in advance, which is really undeserved.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Cui Yi was really worried, regardless of her struggles, she just picked up the person, turned around and saw that Zhiying's eyes were even red, and her eyes were moist, as if she would cry out at any time.

Cui Yi was startled, and hurriedly hugged her and asked angrily, "What's wrong?" Why are your eyes red, who is angry with you? Or is it uncomfortable? What's the matter, talking, holding profit? ”

Zhiying blinked, her eyelashes were stained with water droplets and she was uncomfortable, and she was busy wiping it with her hands, Cui Yi squatted down in front of her, looking at her with a worried face: "You said something, what's wrong?" ”

"No, not much," Zhiying hurriedly wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "The prince is right, Xie Yuchan has been dead for almost a year, and it is time for the prince to remarry a princess, and there is also a master to take care of all the big and small things in the palace, after all, I am a concubine, and I have been acting for a long time, and outsiders will gossip." ”

Cui Yi was completely inexplicable: "What are you talking nonsense, I didn't say very early that you are the only princess, and marrying that shrew was a last resort, not what I wanted, why did you think of mentioning this stubble again?" ”

Zhiying's hand was held by him, and then he pulled it out and held him again: "Sister Zhong is gentle and generous, and quite talented, and she is a cousin with the prince, her father can also be of great benefit to the prince, she is more suitable to be a princess than me." ”

Cui Yi was shocked when he heard her words, and suddenly got up and took a few steps back: "What did you say?" ”

Zhiying rubbed her nose and tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Y-you can say that!" Cui Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, "Eldest grandson Zhiying!" Ask yourself, 'Has this king done you any wrong since you passed through the door?' Although you are a side concubine, who in the palace does not respect you as the lord? This king spoils you and loves you, listens to you in everything, and after marrying you, he never pretends to be good to other women, lest he not be good enough to you and chill your heart, but in the end you actually said such unconscionable words! ”

Zhiying's tears burst out of the embankment at once: "Who the hell has no conscience!" Don't you just want to marry Miss Zhong, I rely on you, and you still say that I have no conscience, who is it who has no conscience! ”

Cui Yi's expression changed drastically, his lips trembled for a long time, and he was angry and wanted to laugh: "When did I say I was going to marry her?!" ”

Zhiying shed tears and said: "If you don't like her, what do you have to ask her if she has any Xu family, and praise her for her good painting, praise her for the furrow in her chest, praise her for being beautiful, and say that whoever marries her is blessed......"

Cui Yi couldn't cry or laugh completely, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only sigh on his forehead. Zhiying cried for a while and then slowly stopped, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and sobbed: "I think the Zhang family is also going to sacrifice their daughter to you, if you like it, marry it, I will not stop you." ”

"I didn't want to marry her!" Cui Yi almost roared, "I was thinking that Gongqi was alone, and I wanted to tell him about his family!" ”

The hand that wiped the tears immediately froze and looked at him stupidly.

Cui Yi was a little angry, and after walking back and forth in place for a few steps, he retreated to the edge of the bed and sat down: "Lu Wan is the daughter of the second uncle, and she is good in terms of family background, talent, appearance, and temperament, it's rare that she doesn't have a family yet, how can I not be busy keeping it for myself!" ”

Profit: "......"
