The next day, Chen Guogong gave Xi Guo a letter of repair, on the grounds of mutual benefit and mutual assistance between friendly neighbors, in order to support the establishment of the prince of Xi Guo, during the establishment of the prince, Chen Guo decided to allow one of the candidates, Ji Lin, to return to China first, and wait for the dust to settle on the position of the prince, and then discuss the matter of the proton, for the sake of fairness, both sides will put the proton back at this stage.

At this time, the old Marquis who was sick saw Chen Guogong so well aware of the righteous act, and was moved to weep, so he gladly accepted Chen Guogong's suggestion.

Sending people to accompany the envoys to send Chen Guo's proton concubine Hongxuan back and pick up the proton Ji Lin in Xiguo, this matter can be regarded as a great joy.

Living up to Chen Guogong's expectations, Xi Guo really set up a talented Ji Lin as the prince. After Chen Guogong saw his son Hongxuan after ten years of absence, he was impressed by his heroic courage and keen insight, coupled with his strong physique, Chen Guogong liked it more and more, but at the same time, he also found that there seemed to be a gap between Hongxuan and himself, and he seemed very unfamiliar.

But this can't be blamed on Hongxuan, who was sent out when he was still coquettish, away from his parents, worried and frightened all day long, and it was ten years to go, like an orphan, it is inevitable to learn to look at faces.

Every time he thinks about it, Chen Guogong feels very guilty, often blames himself, feels that he owes his son too much, and he is no longer willing to send Hongxuan out as a proton, but if he doesn't send him, who will he send? The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

Chen Guogong, who was in a dilemma, expressed his concerns and thoughts on the matter of proton in the court, and consulted with the ministers, and the ministers brainstormed, saying that for the sake of fairness, the youngest prince would go and take turns to be a proton; It is said that it is more conducive to expanding the network by still letting the eldest prince go.

Chen Guogong has been holding his cheeks with his hands, looking listless.

At this time, a minister whispered: "The king is reluctant to let the princes go to other countries, but the old minister thinks that it is better to let the princess marry, the princess is fourteen years old, and it is not far from the year of Jilu." ”

Hearing this, Chen Guogong's eyes lit up, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing this, the other ministers also seconded the motion.

After dinner, Chen Guogong came to Qingqiu's dormitory, and when he saw that she was studying hard again, he coughed lightly and walked in.

"Greetings to my father! What is the matter with the father looking for his sons? ”

Qingqiu, who gradually grew up, lost less of the bad and unruly of his childhood, and more reserved and steady of his daughter's family, and gave Chen Guogong a salute in a proper manner, and the maid served the tea and retreated.

Only the father and daughter were left in the room, and Chen Guogong stood in front of an embroidered picture of double happiness of bamboo and plum and admired.

"Qiu'er, time flies, and you have grown up in a flash. Back then, you didn't love female red, you only loved dancing knives and guns, and once you were angry because your mother burned your bow and hid in the mountains for several days, but your mother was saddened, thinking that as a princess, what kind of system would it become. I didn't expect you to live in a simple place in the past few years, this embroidery level has reached the realm of supernatural beauty, it seems that there is no bad thing you do, my father is really happy for you! ”

Chen Guogong's foreshadowing had already been seen through by Qingqiu, who knew everything, so he blinked mischievously, and said with a cunning look in his eyes: "Father, Qiu'er knows you too well, it's not good for you to praise people, and there are no outsiders here, just say it directly!" ”

"I really can't hide anything from you." It was actually very embarrassing to be seen through at a glance, Chen Guogong sneered, and he didn't go around in circles in front of Qingqiu, so he said straight to the point: "Qiu'er, do you remember that Xiguo proton back then?" ”

As soon as he heard the mention of the Xiguo proton of the year, Qingqiu's little heart suddenly beat suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his face away, pretended to pull out a pot of orchids on the table, lowered his head and said, "Father is talking about the proton named Ji Lin, right?" Of course, you don't really appreciate that he often mentions him! How? Didn't he return home? What's the news? ”

Qingqiu pretended to be very natural, in fact, her panic and careful thinking had already been seen through by Chen Guogong, but her daughter's family loves face, and she can't see through it, as a father, Chen Guogong just looked at her lovingly.

"Yes, Xi Guo really made him the prince, that is to say, if nothing else, he will be the king of Xi Guo in the future."

"Well, it's also your father's wish!" Qingqiu glanced sideways at his father, guessing what he was going to do.

"Father doesn't mean this, my father admires that child very much, and he wants Qiu'er to marry him as Qin and Jin, what do you think!" Chen Guogong lifted Qingqiu's shoulder, he wanted to find the answer from her eyes.

"Father, why are you laughing at Qiu'er again!"

Sure enough, the girlish shyness on Qingqiu's face said it all, the flush that quickly flew up her cheeks, and the gentleness with her eyebrows and eyes lowered, all revealed hazy love.

Chen Guogong saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, knowing that this move had achieved twice the result with half the effort, but he still had to choose something good to say, and he was full of joy and pretended to be extremely sincere.

"Qiu'er, my father didn't make fun of you, this is the meaning of the ministers, and it is also the meaning of this king, but in the end, this king still has to listen to my baby Qiu'er."

Qingqiu pretended to be calm, and also put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Qiu'er understands what my father meant, you want me to marry Xiguo, so that my brothers and sisters don't have to be protons, right?"

When Chen Guogong heard this, he excitedly took Qingqiu into his arms, caressing her soft long hair, showing his father's love.

"Alas, Wu'er is too smart, and my father does have this intention, but if Qiu'er doesn't agree, then my father doesn't say anything."

Qingqiu took a step back, looked at his father generously, and said with a smile: "Qiu'er is going to marry someone sooner or later, instead of marrying someone I don't know, it's better to do a good deed for the people of Chen Guo, and exchange my life for the long-term stability of Chen Guo, Qiu'er's name will go down in history, why not?" ”

"It's great that Qiu'er thinks so! Qiu'er, who is still the king, understands the righteousness and takes the overall situation into account. ”

Chen Guogong couldn't help but take his daughter into his arms again, thinking: Such a beautiful daughter won't have a chance to hug her anymore, it's really cheap Ji Lin's kid to hug, hehe!

When the envoy of Chen Guo brought Chen Guogong's meaning to Xi Guo, for Xi Guo, it was simply a good thing that he was sleepy and met a pillow and couldn't ask for it, Xi Guo immediately agreed, and quickly opened up the marriage, Ji Lin personally brought a rich dowry to marry Qingqiu.

When Qingqiu saw Ji Lin again, it was already the moment when he picked up the red hijab in the cave room. She was stunned, the man in front of her was simply too beautiful, perhaps after living a life of fine clothes and food, the skin that used to haunt the mountains and forests, and the wind and sun were slightly dull, had already become as white as porcelain, the facial features were angular, the deep and divine eyes were like the bright moon and stars, and under the straight and stylish nose bridge, the light pink lips were small, full and shiny, but there was a faint trace of melancholy between the eyebrows.

"Qingqiu, since I separated from you, Ji Lin has been thinking about you all the time! Now it's okay, we'll never be separated together! From now on, you are my lady! ”

"Ji Lin, my husband! The acquaintance between the two of us six years ago must have been arranged by God, in fact, on the night you took care of and accompanied me, I secretly promised you! ”

……

Xiangling and Xiangming looked at each other, but in the end, Xiangling couldn't hold back, and stepped forward and called a few times, "Madam, Madam." ”

But seeing Xi Fei smiling and in a daze, she didn't respond to a few calls, knowing that she must be distracted, so she shook her arm lightly.

Only then did she wake up from the fond memory, and when she looked out the window, she found that the carriage had stopped at some point.

"What's wrong? Is something going on? ”
