"Who are the people who are here to eat and drink today?" Holding Ying copied his arm with a serious expression.

Cao Qian was confused, and didn't know what her intention was in asking this, so he said a few names, all of which were several generals who had fought with Cui Yi, and Zhiyinghu said suspiciously: "They are all military generals, and there are no civilian officials?" ”

Cao Qian shook his head and said: "The prince has never liked to deal with literati, and the emperor doesn't want the prince and the ministers to have too close personal relationships, so ......"

Zhiying smiled, of course he was afraid that his son would collude with the civil servants to empty himself, but he had never heard of a prince who didn't associate with the civil officials at all because his father didn't like it, and he couldn't be the emperor with military power and no political team, Cui Yi was really a straight brain.

"Are the other princes coming?"

Cao Qian hesitated, and when Zhiying looked at his face, he seemed to understand why he was asking this, so he said bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed, hasn't he?" What was said? ”

Cao Qian, who was more than seven feet tall, lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said...... I heard that Wang Yena's concubine is ...... The sister of the princess's mother's family...... I got seriously ill the other day, uh......"

Zhiying took a deep breath, Cao Qian was busy kneeling, but she stopped her: "It's not the general's fault, the general has killed the concubine like this, please get up quickly." Then he asked, "After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, how did the prince react?" ”

Cao Qian thought for a while and replied, "The prince looks as usual. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, he left quickly, and after that, the prince continued to drink with the generals as if nothing had happened. ”

"After that, the prince was drunk, did he say anything that shouldn't be said?"

"Nope."

"Are you sure?"

Cao Qian has been serving by Cui Yi's side for several years, because he has been instructed by Cui Yi's uncle Zhong Yuanshan, he has always been very attentive to him after he gets drunk, so he nodded affirmatively: "Indeed not, Madam is worried that the prince will drink too much and say disrespectful words to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Zhiying nodded, and her eyebrows were full of worry: "Most of the generals are rectums, but it is difficult to guarantee that one or two will not go to the prince's ear to talk more." It's good that I didn't say anything, it's not early, so General Cao should go back and rest early. ”

Cao Qian then retreated, and Zhiying returned to the room, and saw that the maids were surrounding Cui Yi and didn't know what to do, so he said funny: "The prince is not afraid of steel and iron bones, and he is not afraid of swords, but he will be afraid of my jade Ruyi?" They all go to sleep, and they don't have to wait. The maidens retreated tremblingly.

Zhiying closed the door, and heard a voice behind him that did not distinguish joy and anger: "Aifei is not small. ”

Zhiying shrugged with a smile and turned back to the side of the bed: "If I don't shoot that, the prince doesn't know if he will say anything more outrageous, and then it will be the sin of losing his head, and the concubine is also for the good of the prince." ”

Cui Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, his hair was scattered, and his body exuded a dangerous smell. It's only been a moment since I've been drinking, and I can't see that I'm drunk.

"Do you know why this king wants to marry you?"

"Actually, the prince doesn't have to marry me."

There was silence in the room, and Zhiying asked with a smile, "Why?" ”

In fact, she doesn't need to ask her, she knows that her father is a subordinate of the East Palace, a princess, and her sister is the current crown princess, marrying her can make the eldest grandson Tai embarrassed, and it can also make the prince Cui Jie and him have a rift and distrust each other.

At the beginning of Jinsongtang, although Zhiying told his father that he could drag it out, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to drag it out, and the fact that he and Cui Yi had a skin-to-skin relationship was in front of him, as long as he mentioned it, his father had no reason to refuse, he was an excellent chess piece to destroy the alliance between the eldest grandson family and the prince, how could Cui Yi let it go easily?

Just marrying her, she will inevitably face the embarrassment of being ridiculed by Cui Jie for "picking up leaks", one is a noble prince, and she is naturally as delicate as a daughter, and the other is just a prince, so she is only worthy of marrying a "scarred" concubine.

However, Cui Yi's answer surprised her.

Cui Yi's eyes were heavy, and he said: "Because that day in the carved building, this king promised to marry you." ”

Zhiying was shocked, and he didn't know what to say.

Cui Yi asked indifferently: "Are all the injuries on your body healed?" ”

Zhiying didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and subconsciously replied: "It's almost." ”

"It's almost not all yet." Xu felt a little hot, Cui Yi pulled his neckline, revealing a well-defined collarbone and a small bronzed chest under the white single clothes, "Go to bed early." After saying that, he fell on the bed, and the next second there was a snoring sound.

Zhiying was stunned for a long time before blowing out the lamp and going to bed, lying down with him back to back.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Zhiying was shocked again, and suddenly realized one thing - how did he know that he was injured? Daddy shouldn't deliberately mention to him that he had beaten himself; Or was he referring to his "seriously ill and festering" wounds? No, he should have known that it was just a lie from an outsider, so why bother?

Worried, Cui Yi was already asleep, she couldn't wake people up and ask, so she had to press the questions in her stomach and wait until dawn.

There was nothing to say all night, Cui Yi got up early the next morning to go to the court, he thought too much about it and didn't sleep well at night, and when he woke up, it was already past the hour, just after he freshened up and dressed, sat down for breakfast, Cui Yi came back from the court, glanced at her, and went inside to change into regular clothes.

"Father and Empress want to see you, and you will change into a brighter dress later." Cui Yi said while letting the maid serve and change clothes.

Zhiying stirred the osmanthus porridge in the bowl and said, "I'm just a concubine, won't I look frivolous if I dress too fancy?" ”

Cui Yi frowned, glanced at her dissatisfiedly, and said, "What kind of concubine is not a concubine, this king is only one princess, don't talk about the word concubine all day long." ”

Zhiying said with a smile: "The concubine is not as good as a wife, I still have this self-knowledge, sooner or later the prince will marry a famous daughter as a wife, when the time comes, I am just a little higher than the maid in the house, it is better to put my position right now, so as not to lose it in the future." ”

Cui Yi's face was expressionless: "The daughters of the eldest grandson Taifu are not considered famous daughters, so there are no famous daughters in Zizhang City." ”

This sounds pleasing to the ear, but Zhiying still smiled and said: "That's different, I'm just a young lady covered in scars, and in the future, the emperor will definitely choose a young lady with good looks and good conduct for the prince from among the daughters of various families as his wife." ”

Cui Yi finally became angry and asked, "Do you have to discuss the matter of marrying a wife with this king on the second day after passing through the door?" ”

Zhiying didn't smile anymore, and said seriously: "I'm also thinking about the prince." ”

Cui Yi said coldly: "Oh, Concubine Ai is really considerate. ”

Somehow, listening to his yin and yang strange words, Zhiying actually felt that he was very cruel, as if he had done something to hurt him, there was something blocked in his chest, and he couldn't drink the porridge.

It's really for his good, isn't it? A prince whose mother died early and whose uncle was not in the capital, without the protection of his relatives, was the only way out was to seek the support of his wife's mother's family, almost every prince would marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court, and he Cui Yi would naturally be no exception, if there was no strong father-in-law to help him speak in front of the emperor, it would be a lifelong battle, and the last life of the horse leather shroud.

But this father-in-law is destined not to be the crown prince and the eldest grandson.

Cui Yi changed into her regular clothes, brushed her cuffs with one hand, and frowned again when she saw her sitting at the table in a daze: "What are you still doing in a daze, rinse your mouth and prepare to leave." ”

Zhiying hurriedly put down the spoon: "I...... I'm going to change my clothes! ”

"There's no need to change it," Cui Yi strode towards the door, "It's just a concubine anyway." He walked out of the yard without looking back.

The maids looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Xiaoqiu handed over the mouthwash and said embarrassedly: "Madam, this ......"

Zhiying took a deep breath, took the cup and rinsed her mouth, wiping the corners of her mouth: "Then don't change it, Xiaoqiu follows, don't let the prince wait." ”

Out of the gate of the palace, the carriage was ready, the groom came to step on it, and Zhiying got into the carriage with his skirt, and saw Cui Yi sitting expressionlessly in the depths of the carriage, so he found a small place to sit by the door.

"Sitting so far, will this king eat people?" Cui Yi asked unhappily.

Zhiying smiled and closed the curtain of the car, so that people outside could not see the scene inside, and said: "The prince is in a bad mood, so the concubine will not go over to block the prince." ”

Cui Yi narrowed his eyes and said gloomily: "The daughter taught by the eldest grandson Taifu is really sharp-toothed. ”

Zhiying smiled again: "The prince has won the award." ”

The carriage went along, and there was silence in the carriage for a moment.

Cui Yi leaned his back against the wall of the carriage, hugged his arms in front of his chest, and said, "You have anger in your heart." ”

Zhiying was inexplicable: "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

Cui Yi continued to take care of himself: "You don't actually want to marry this king in your heart, but you have to marry, so you are angry with this king, last night when this king was drunk, knocked this king on the head with jade ruyi, and today he deliberately went against this king, let you change your clothes without changing, and urged this king to marry a wife......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhiying couldn't help laughing: "Is the prince being coquettish to the concubine?" ”

Cui Yi's face darkened, and he was about to be angry, so Zhiying hurriedly recovered his positive color and said: "The prince is too careful, the concubine body is not angry with the prince, it is the blessing of the concubine to be able to serve the prince, it is too late to be happy, how can you deliberately get along with the prince." ”

Cui Yi snorted in his nose and said, "That night in the carved building, you didn't say that." ”

Zhiying was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did I say?" ”

Cui Yi turned his head indifferently: "It's here, get off." ”

The carriage stopped outside Yaohua Palace, Cui Yi got out of the car first, and then reached out to Zhiying and pulled her down, and after Zhiying landed, he wanted to pull his hand out, but Cui Yi didn't let it, relying on his strength, holding her hand, Zhiying almost screamed out in pain.

What kind of child's temper is this, Zhiying felt funny, so he let him go, and let him lead him to show affection in front of the palace maids and eunuchs.

Yaohua Palace is the head of the six palaces, the residence of the queen, and Zhiying also spent a short but beautiful time here, at that time she naively thought that Cui Jie would love herself for the rest of her life as promised on the wedding night, even if she has not added Ding to the royal family for six years, she still believes that as long as Cui Jie loves herself, the queen's throne will always belong to her.

It's a pity that Cui Jie not only doesn't love her, but also wants to kill her.

Zhiying looked at the golden plaque of Yaohua Palace, and was distracted for a moment, but then he was dragged hard, Cui Yi stiffened his face, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you stunned, hurry up." "Half leading, half mopping, leading people through the door.
