Until he returned to Changle Fang Chi Zhai, Chi Changting's face was still black, which made the smiling family at a loss.

Chi Tang hintively tugged at his sleeve, and he eased up slightly.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, the Chi Chief's Mansion looked solemn.

He also knows the situation in the capital, and there is no doubt which side the Chi family stands on, as soon as the father and daughter of the second room return to Beijing, they were summoned to the palace, and they came out like this-

Could it be that he was angry with the emperor?

When Chi Changting heard his question, his face sank again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Tang's wedding date is set!" ”

Everyone in the big house was stunned.

Looking at Chi Tang again, his little face was red and his expression was helpless, and he immediately understood what Chi Changting was crazy about.

"This is a happy event!" Chi Changfu smiled and patted Chi Changting's shoulder, "Ah Tang was also of age—"

"Where are you getting old? It's only been sixteen years and two months! Chi Changting said with a cold face.

"Isn't fifteen or sixteen just right to get married?" Chi Changfu also didn't understand, "Do you still want the prince to wait for her for a few years?" That's the Prince! Don't wait until the last concubine to enter the palace—"

"He dares!" Chi Changting easily broke the handrail of the corridor.

Chi Tang hurriedly stepped forward to check his hand.

Chi Changfu's eyelids jumped, and said, "Tell me yourself, why don't you dare to marry a side concubine?" Is he still afraid that you will break wood? ”

Chi Changting said sympathetically: "If he can't wait, he will play by himself, and our Ah Tang will have another husband!" ”

Others haven't done anything, Chi Tang is not happy first: "Daddy, don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't!" I won't change it either! ”

Chi Changting was so angry with her that he felt aggrieved: "Do you want to get married?" ”

Chi Tang suddenly blushed, and said hesitantly: "No, no...... However, His Royal Highness has set the wedding date in front of His Majesty, so that's the only way......"

Chi Changting sneered: "Who said it can only be like this? ”

Chi Tang was shocked, Daddy still has the means?

Chi Changting glanced at Chi Lanze and said, "The elder and the young are orderly, your brother and sister haven't decided on the marriage yet, what's the hurry?" ”

Although this reason is not very loud, it is a reason at best, and it may be possible to postpone the marriage.

The third day of March is too rushed!

He didn't spend much time with his daughter last year, and he was just getting married when he was reunited-

No way! He doesn't want it!

"Uh...... Before I could tell you, Lan Ze was already discussing marriage," Chi Changfu said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to tell you earlier, and let you help take a look, but unfortunately it was really inconvenient to send a letter to Lingwu a while ago." ”

Since the crown prince left Beijing, the letters to Lingwu have been checked very closely.

"Oh? Which girl is it? Chi Changting glanced at Chi Lanze.

The young man lowered his face, his eyebrows gloomy, and there was no trace of joy.

"It's the fourth daughter of the Yang family in Jinggongfang."

Chi Tang was taken aback.

Not Xiao Tong?

……

"Your brother asked a matchmaker to propose to Ah Tong, but he was refused." Xue Zheng said.

"Why did you refuse?" Chi Tang asked anxiously.

At home before, her uncle and aunt didn't mention Xiao Tong, she just came back, and she was busy preparing for the banquet of the Duke of Qi in the evening, so she could only put it aside.

When he arrived at the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, he suddenly remembered that there was a Baixiaosheng Xue Twelve in the capital here, so he relied on his noble status and pulled the master aside to speak alone.

"Of course, it's going to draw a line with us!" Xue Zheng took a sip of tea and smiled lazily.

"Soon after you left Beijing, Taiji Palace issued an edict to let the Jin Ling Gong clan enter Beijing, and the Xiao clan who were released were also transferred back;"

"The Shangshu Order of the Duke of Jin Ling was originally just a gift after his retirement, but now it has become true; The sons of the Duke of Jinling have also returned to the dynasty to confer important positions, and the one in Taiji Palace sees that the Gao family can't suppress us and wants to support the Xiao family! ”

Xiao Tong's father is the eldest son of the Duke of Jin Ling, and he can show his attitude by refusing the Chi family's proposal.

"Not to mention marriage, it's difficult for us to see Ah Tong now, and inviting her to a banquet is a refusal nine times out of ten, and I don't know if I will come today."

"But Xiao Wulang has just transported grain for the East Palace, how can the Xiao family draw the line?" Chi Tang frowned.

Xiao Zhuo is obviously close to the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also relies on him very much.

Xue Zheng sneered: "That's why I have to summon Jin Linggong and his four sons to Beijing, so that they can suppress Xiao Wulang!" ”

"Aren't they all helping Xiao Wulang?" Chi Tang muttered, feeling a little distressed about Xiao Zhuo.

"If you help, you won't refuse to kiss-" Xue Zheng sneered, "Jin Linggong is old, and he was a peacemaker when he didn't retire in the past, and at this time, I am afraid that I will not dare to offend either side, thinking about the mean to save my life!" ”

Chi Tang's heart was cold.

It seems that not only Xiao Tong is difficult, but Xiao Zhuo is also constrained by his family when he comes back this time.

As he was talking, the voice of the little girl of the Xue family sounded outside the door: "Little aunt, my aunt and grandmother ask to see the crown princess!" ”

Chi Tang was surprised: "Your aunt? ”

She only knows one of Xue Zheng's aunts, and that is the late Empress Xue.

How come there is another one?

Xue Zheng frowned and said: "She is a concubine, she grew up in her hometown in Hedong, and she was originally going to go to Beijing to discuss her relatives, but later she had a strange illness and was sent back to her hometown to raise, and she just entered Beijing three months ago." ”

After that, he said outside: "Isn't she still sick?" How can I meet the crown princess? Go back and rest! ”

The tone was rather impatient.

"I'm already fine, Twelve Niang let me meet the crown princess!" Another voice rang out outside the door.

Softly, begging, with a hint of urgency and humility.

Chi Tang was in a trance.

The sound should be unfamiliar, but there is an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"Let her in!" Chi Tang suddenly wanted to meet this person too.

Xue Zheng reluctantly asked people to open the door.

The double doors were pushed open from the outside to the inside, and a woman in a small moon-white jacket stood in the middle.

He looked in his twenties, was very thin, and was beautiful.

His chin is pointed, his face is a little transparent, and his eyes are darker and darker.

When those eyes saw Chi Tang, they suddenly lit up, and then tears flowed out......

……

"Daddy, do you know the cousin of Qi Guogong?" After leaving the Qi State Mansion, Chi Tang couldn't wait to ask.

The woman did come to see her, but those teary eyes lingered in her mind all night.

Chi Changting thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is such a person, who has been to the capital before, and then I don't know when he left again," paused, "What?" Back again? Did you see that? ”

Chi Tang nodded and hesitated: "I think she's a little weird...... Does she know me? ”

"Probably?" Chi Changting said indifferently, "You may have seen your mother when you followed her to the Qi State Mansion when you were a child. ”

Chi Tang shook his head.

She didn't think it was that simple.

The look in the woman's eyes when she looked at her...... It's as if there's a deep, deep connection between them.

Chi Tang wanted to ask again, and suddenly-

"Whoosh!"

Chi Tang only felt a flower in front of him, and when he fixed his eyes, his father already held an arrow in his hand.

The arrows went to the tufts and had no lethality.

But there was a letter strapped to the arrow—
