Lou Que slowly knelt down, his expression calm: "Father Emperor Mingjian, Erchen has never seen Dingguoyu, this matter has nothing to do with Erchen!" ”

"Nothing to do with you?" The Emperor looked at him and was skeptical.

Lou Que glanced at the position where Ding Guoyu was hanging on Zheng Xian'er's waist before, and frowned slightly: "Xian'er, that pendant, I remember you said what embroidery was used to change it?" The stakes are high, so go through the situation in detail and don't miss anything. ”

Zheng Xian'er listened to his nonsense, and immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

The emperor's gaze returned to Zheng Xian'er.

Zheng Xian'er blinked her eyes and cautiously asked Lou Que, "Can you say it?" Is the emperor going to kill me after that? ”

Lou Que glared at her: "Father's question, you just have to tell the truth, can you lie to your father for fear of death!" ”

Zheng Xian'er glared at him back, and sure enough, she turned around and complained angrily: "Where do I know what An Guoyu Ding Guoyu is!" Isn't it just a broken stone! This is three years ago, when I first started selling embroidery, an old woman took a fancy to the sachet I embroidered and had no money to buy it, so she exchanged the pendant with me! At that time, I was not happy to change it, a broken stone, the white miserable color is not good-looking, it is better to spend a tael of silver to buy a string of gilt beads to see the festivities! - Is it something good? ”

These words sounded quite like that, but the emperor always felt a little unconvinced: "What is the origin of that old woman?" Even if she didn't know that Dingguo Jade was the treasure of Zhenguo, she wouldn't be so confused that she would exchange jade for a sachet! ”

Zheng Xian'er sat on the ground with an irritated face: "How do I know where that old woman came from?" I'm just setting up a stall at the temple fair to sell embroidery! At that time, the people next to me persuaded me not to change it, and I heard that the old woman also exchanged a red stone of about the same size for a bamboo basket worth only ten yuan, and the uncle who made the basket was not happy to change it with her! ”

"Ruby? Pigeon blood? The Emperor frowned.

Zheng Xian'er hesitated for a moment, and said with some loss: "Now that I think about it, it should be." But at that time, I was still young, and I was the daughter of a poor family, so how could I know what gems and jades were! If I had known that these stones were valuable, I would have thought of a way to exchange her for something more! At that time, I just thought that the old woman was very fierce, and I didn't want to talk to her at all! ”

"Anything else?" The Emperor frowned and asked.

Zheng Xian'er lowered her head: "I don't know that old woman, how do I know if she has it!" ”

The emperor sighed and said helplessly, "I'm asking you, is there any detail you forgot to mention?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Xian'er sat on the ground and said sullenly.

The emperor was a little disappointed, but at the same time secretly relieved.

It just so happened that his patience had run out.

In the scene just now, Zheng Xian'er had already completely lost the noble and beautiful image she had disguised before, and restored the nature of the small people in the market.

quarreling and scolding people and playing Laipi, and going on a rampage in front of the emperor, this is in line with the world's imagination of her. This temperament and this look and makeup are more contrary and more inconsistent, but there is a strange attraction.

The Emperor stared at her for a long time, and finally looked away in disappointment.

He couldn't look at it anymore, and if he looked at it any longer, the appearance of the county lord of Anping in his memory would be completely blurred.

He originally thought that this woman was Anping's daughter, and her appearance and temperament should be the same as that of the county lord of Anping, but now it seems that ......

Forget it.

The Emperor turned his back, walked back very slowly, step by step, and sat down.

Prime Minister Ning Cheng came out of the crowd with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the previous puppet emperor stole the country, and Dingguo Jade disappeared for no reason; Now that the Holy Lord is in the court, Dingguo Jade will reappear, which shows that when and how this Dingguo Jade will appear in the world is the will of God, and it is not human. The old woman in the mouth of Huaiyang Junjun is only afraid that she is a god and a man, and if you want to find it at this moment, you must not be able to find it. ”

The emperor called himself the "Son of Heaven", so he naturally believed in the mandate of heaven. Prime Minister Ning's words were deeply agreed with by the emperor.

The ministers knew that this was the best explanation, so naturally they would not be stupid enough to come out and question it.

So after a while, the emperor smiled and said to everyone: "Let's all be even." ”

The ministers and ladies who had been kneeling for a long time could finally shout "Long live" and support each other to get up and return to their seats.

Zheng Xian'er was still sitting on the ground, unwilling to move.

Princess Qingning glanced at the ground, and opened her mouth in a strange manner: "Prime Minister Ning, do you mean that the old woman who has been transformed by a god can predict the future, and you knew three years ago that this woman would come to her father's side?" ”

Prime Minister Ning smiled calmly, unhurried: "Since you are a god, it is natural to predict the future." Everything in the world has a certain number in the dark. Maybe since the lord of Anping left Beijing and gave birth to his daughter in Sangyu County, it has been Shangcang preparing for the return of Dingguoyu. If it weren't for this, why did the county lord of Anping fall into Sangyu County, where His Royal Highness the prince lived, why did the county monarch of Huaiyang marry into the Lou family, and why did His Royal Highness the prince overcome all difficulties and marry the prince of Huaiyang - this kind of coincidences is incomprehensible, in order to return the jade of Dingguo to the emperor of the Great Zhou through the hands of the county monarch of Huaiyang today! ”

"It's a mess!" Princess Qingning was very angry.

Concubine Li hurriedly scolded her: "The matter of Heavenly Dao is not something that we mortals can speculate, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The queen sat back with a dark face and sneered: "According to what Prime Minister Ning said, the prince of Huaiyang County has become a great hero of our dynasty by confusing the prince to this day?" ”

Prime Minister Ning Cheng was still calm, and said with a steady smile: "Huaiyang Junjun was chosen by the gods to serve Dingguo Yu for three years, and finally succeeded in sending this treasure of the town and country back to the court, which can be seen to be extraordinary. Dingguo Jade was brought back to the palace by the hands of the county monarch and His Royal Highness the Prince, which was the mandate of heaven and not the power of man. This bad fate, not so much that Huaiyang Junjun confused His Royal Highness the Prince, but rather that it was God who brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Huaiyang Junjun together for this great mission. ”

"How could God match such a ridiculous fate? It's nonsense! The queen couldn't help but bang on the table angrily, looking annoyed.

Prime Minister Ning smiled and was silent.

At this moment, except for Ning Jinxiu and a few people in the hall, the eyes of the other courtiers and ladies looking at Zheng Xian'er have completely turned into awe.

O one who has been given a mission by God!

As for the "evil fate" that the queen said - the evil fate matched by God, can it still be called "evil fate"?

That's called, a match made in heaven!

The emperor sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Jun Yuxian of Huaiyang County was ordered by heaven to send back the treasure of Zhenguo to my Great Zhou, which is indispensable. Today, in accordance with the will of heaven, the prince of Huaiyang County was crowned as the crown prince's concubine, and on May 16, he walked with the prince to canonize the gift. As soon as the ceremonial guard utensils are met, the Ministry of Rites will step up supervision, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"What?" Zheng Xian'er was a little stunned when she heard it.

But the sound of the ministers chanting "Long live" was already heard in his ears.

This was followed by a roaring congratulatory voice. Someone tugged at Zheng Xian'er's sleeve and said hurriedly: "Princess, thank you quickly!" ”

Zheng Xian'er was confused, and was pulled to sit and kneel, and kowtowed two or three times in a daze.

After that, she heard a bunch of people shouting "congratulations" to her.

Lou Que came over to help her up, leaned into her ear and whispered, "It's done!" Praise me! ”

"What are you complimenting on?" Zheng Xian'er was still confused.

Lou Que was a little disappointed: "I'm so smart, a Dingguo jade pulled the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to speak for you, shouldn't I praise it?" ”

"Oh, you're so smart." Zheng Xian'er praised seriously.

"Xian'er," Lou Que said very sadly, "You are now my crown princess!" Shouldn't you be a little happier? ”

At this time, Zhang Ping happened to come over to congratulate, and when he heard Lou Que's words, he joked: "The crown princess is not unhappy, but she is so happy that she is confused!" Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have fulfilled your long-cherished wish today! ”

"Yes! I really didn't expect that there would be a bright day, what a fluke! Lou Que looked happy.

Seeing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but be happy, and he didn't doubt at all.

After all, Lou Que's joy is not adulterated in the slightest.

Why is the word "crown princess" so good?

The commotion in the hall continued for a while before it gradually subsided. The guests and hosts sat down again, and most of them were full of joy.

Those who didn't laugh were genuinely unhappy.

For example, some girls who are worried about the position of the crown princess, Princess Qingning who has always looked at Zheng Xian'er unpleasantly, and the queen mother who doesn't know why she also looks at Zheng Xian'er unpleasantly.

When Lou Que helped Zheng Xian'er to sit down, the queen sighed to the emperor with a worried face: "Since the crown prince and concubine have been selected, it is better to set the side concubine together." As the prince, there is no reason to marry only one person, not to mention that the prince of Huaiyang has no foundation in the court, so he can't help the prince at all - your majesty, this matter can't be done by the prince's temperament! ”

After that, she also glanced meaningfully in the direction of the ministers, which means: Isn't there a need to win over the ministers?

When the emperor heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Lou Que.

At this time, Lou Que stood up with a worried face: "Please forgive my father-Xian'er is a little tired, and Erchen wants to accompany her to retire first." ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Your body is important, go ahead." ”

Lou Que thanked him and carefully helped Zheng Xian'er to get up.

As soon as he walked to the door, an eager voice sounded in the hall: "His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

It's Ning Jinxiu.

Lou Que was annoyed, and was about to change her face, Zheng Xian'er had already stood still, turned around and showed a bright smile to Ning Jinxiu: "Sister Ning, we have to go first!" Last time, I said I wanted to listen to you play the pipa, but unfortunately my body can't hold it, and I'm afraid I won't have ears today, I'm really sorry! ”

"What?" Ning Jinxiu was a little confused by her words.

Pipa? When will she play the lute? When did she say she was going to play the lute to this hateful woman?

Lou Que looked at Zheng Xian'er's sly smile, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl: His little fox, this is about to bite!

The ladies didn't know the truth, but they were all a little stunned at this time: When did the crown princess get along with the eldest girl of the Ning family like this? Even "sister" is called!

In front of everyone's eyes, Ning Jinxiu couldn't refute Zheng Xian'er's words, but she didn't want her to be proud, so she squeezed out a smile and replied: "Huaiyang Junjun is unwell, he really should go back and rest earlier." It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the protagonist of today's palace banquet, wouldn't it be rude for you to insist on pulling him out with you? With so many palace attendants in the palace, can no one send you back? ”

Without waiting for Zheng Xian'er to answer, Lou Que immediately grabbed the conversation and said for her: "We are husband and wife, so naturally we have to go out and go together." If one of them goes first, leaving only the other to sit at the palace banquet, it is called a real faux pas. - This truth does not need to be explained, Miss Ning will understand it after she gets married. ”

Ning Jinxiu looked at him in a daze and wanted to cry.

Zheng Xian'er was still smiling like a flower: "Where is the need to wait for marriage?" Sister Ning is very smart, and she can understand it at all! Speaking of which, although I haven't known Sister Ning for a long time, Sister Ning has taught me a lot of truths! ”

"Oh? What did she teach you? Lou Que asked very cooperatively.

Zheng Xian'er said with a smile: "Sister Ning was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is a real lady, of course what she taught me is serious rules, such as respecting the inferior and inferior, such as being cautious and courteous, and then 'I'd rather be a poor wife than a noble concubine'!" ”

When Ning Jinxiu heard the words "noble concubine", her eyes turned red.

Zheng Xian'er still didn't spare her, and continued unhurriedly: "Sister Ning is the eldest lady of the real Changfang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is extremely noble, I don't know whose son is blessed to marry her as a housewife!" ”

Ning Jinxiu's calm and elegant mask had already been torn, and there was only a little sadness left on her face, which looked very pitiful.

Lou Que has never known how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and such a pear blossom with rain scenery did not set off any waves in his heart.

Seeing that Ning Jinxiu was speechless, Lou Que shook Zheng Xian'er's hand and said with a smile: "I just said that I was so tired that I couldn't stand it, and I forgot it when I was chatting with someone?" Let's go, there will be a chance to chat in the future, and Miss Ning will not get married tomorrow! ”

The implication is that after Miss Ning gets married, no one will bother you.

Zheng Xian'er was quite satisfied with this answer, so she raised her head and smiled "gently", and finally went out with him.

In the palace, the emperor and the civil and military officials were still immersed in the joy of Dingguoyu's loss and recovery, and they didn't have much leisure to care about the prince's marriage.

Some of the ladies and girls were so envious that their eyes were red, and some were already heartbroken. But at this moment, their fathers, brothers and parents didn't care about their feelings at all.

The crown prince is the future emperor, and the crown princess is basically sure that she is the future queen, which fool is willing to offend them for the sake of his own stupid girl?

What's more, in the eyes of a large number of high-ranking officials, it is not a good thing to marry the royal family.

They prefer to rely on their talents and political achievements to stand in the court step by step, rather than being privately discussed that they are rising to prominence by selling their daughters.

What's more, the emperors of all dynasties were afraid of "relatives" in their hearts, and marrying the royal family really couldn't tell whether it was a help or an obstacle to their future!

In this way, there are fewer people who care about the girls' hearts.

Some of the young children who came with their father and brother to join in the fun are even secretly happy - the prince does not accept the side concubines, and those extraordinarily outstanding girls don't know who the flowers are? They have a chance!

So after Louque left, the emperor took some of his close courtiers back to the imperial study to discuss matters, and the rest of the people should retire and travel together, and a palace banquet was dispersed lively.

Ning Jinxiu stood up with everyone, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

On the one hand, the concept rooted in her heart since she was a child made her see the word "concubine" clearly. Indeed, as Zheng Xian'er said, she is "rather a poor wife than a noble concubine".

But on the other hand, after this period of fermentation, Lou Que has become her obsession. She can't look down on other men anymore, just like she can't look down on the word "Shu".

I don't know when Ning Jinxiu has sent herself into a stalemate: as long as Lou Que's concubine is not her, her happiness in this life will be completely ruined, because any path she will take in the future will be something she doesn't like.

Thinking of this, Ning Jinxiu was so sad that she almost crashed to death on the pillar.

But her parents have not been unfilial enough to give up her precious life easily.

So, I can only suffer in my heart.

In the early days, the whole capital knew that she was determined to win the position of the crown princess, and now I don't know how many people are watching her jokes!

Her grandmother didn't help her, her grandfather didn't help her, her father couldn't speak, and her mother left early...... Ning Jinxiu felt that her whole world was only black.

At this time, the queen was still sitting in her previous position and did not get up for a long time.

Her gaze lingered for a long time on the lingering girls in the hall, and she seemed to have been unable to make up her mind.

The palace maid beside her, Ting Lan, said in a low voice: "Miss Xing Qi's temperament is more flamboyant, and she is easy to cause trouble; Miss Ning has the city government in her heart, but she is too obsessed, I'm afraid she can't be ...... by others."

The queen nodded and smiled: "Go, ask Miss Ning to stay and talk to the palace." ”

Zheng Xian'er naturally didn't know about these things that happened in the hall.

After leaving the Fu'an Palace, Lou Que will call someone to pass the news.

Zheng Xian'er refused: "We have our own legs, what kind of chariot do we have!" ”

Lou Que smiled: "It's okay." If you are tired, tell me, and I will carry you away. ”

"I'm not going to be so useless!" Zheng Xian'er opened her arms and turned around to show him.

Lou Que stared tightly, and as soon as she finished turning, he immediately reached out and caught her: "Okay, I know you're not tired, walk well!" ”

Zheng Xian'er looked up and smiled at him.

Lou Que pinched her face casually: "Don't you express your feelings at the moment, princess?" ”

Zheng Xian'er thought about it seriously and pouted: "I don't know what the 'crown princess' is, but - I can be good to you in the name of it, this taste should be very good!" ”

Lou Que breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's good if you like it." I'm afraid you don't want me anymore. ”

Zheng Xian'er laughed when she heard this.

The noise of the Fu'an Hall could no longer be heard, so Zheng Xian'er pulled Lou Que's sleeve and asked softly, "Where did you get that broken stone?" They seem to be scary, how dare you just throw it at me? ”

Lou Que pinched Zheng Xian'er's finger as a toy in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Three years ago, when my father ordered me to secretly envelop the courtiers for him, an elder of the three dynasties gave it to me. ”

"Prime Minister Ning?" Zheng Xian'er guessed.

Lou Que shook his head: "It's not Prime Minister Ning." It was the old lady of the previous dynasty, and he passed away last year. According to him, twenty years ago, the emperor's grandfather noticed that the princes had reached the point where they could not be cleaned up, so he quietly gave him Dingguo Yu and told him to take it out and give it to the right person at the right time. After that, the puppet emperor stole the country, and the old lady hid the Dingguo jade and hid it for nearly 20 years. ”

Zheng Xian'er said that she didn't quite understand: "Since the first emperor ordered the jade to be handed over to the right person, why didn't the old lady personally dedicate it to your father, but entrusted it to you?" ”

The smile on Lou Que's face gradually faded, and he sighed lightly for a long time: "Father is suspicious." ”

Zheng Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there were some indescribable feelings in her heart.

The emperor was suspicious, so the old lady hid the Dingguo jade, but he didn't dare to hand it over to him.

So why didn't Lou Que hand it over as soon as possible after getting Dingguo Jade? Is it also because he is worried that the emperor will be suspicious?

Today, through her hands, can she dispel the emperor's suspicions? Will there be other consequences?

If it weren't for today's events, would Ding Guoyu have always been in her jewelry box, like those ordinary jewelry that she doesn't like, and never have a chance to see the light of day?

It's just a stone, once it is regarded as the "treasure of the town", all kinds of possibilities behind it can't be guessed.

Lou Que stretched out his hand and rubbed Zheng Xian'er's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't think about those useless ones." That broken stone, in exchange for the two of us to stay together for the rest of our lives, is worth it. ”

Zheng Xian'er shook her head to avoid his hand: "Fleshy!" ”

Lou Que knew that she was duplicitous, and couldn't help but smile more happily.

Zheng Xian'er suddenly stood still and looked up at him: "When the old lady gave you the stone, did you ask you to dedicate it to the emperor, or did you keep it for yourself?" ”

Lou Que smiled casually: "Since he is relieved to hand it over to me, he naturally let me dispose of it at will." ”

So Zheng Xian'er understood.

Speaking of which, at this point, she and Lou Que are really two completely opposite people.

She is too utilitarian and wants to grasp everything she can in her own hands; Lou Que is very accustomed to being at ease with what happens, and there is a kind of indifference of life and death.

Take that piece of jade, for example, because she didn't know its value, so she threw it away; Lou Que knew that the thing had an extraordinary origin, but he still disposed of it casually as a broken stone.

"What a child who has never suffered, and does not know how to cherish good things!" Zheng Xian'er complained secretly in her heart.

Then, she tugged at Lou Que's sleeve and laughed.

- This guy who is happy with what happens has already broken many precedents for her, right?

For example, in the Fu'an Palace before, he had a stalemate with his father and queen mother in order not to marry another woman!

This person is so stupid that he's a little cute!
