"Why did the fifth sister-in-law go for so long?" Xia Yixiao saw that Lin Jingxian hadn't returned for a long time, and looked out of the door suspiciously.

The crown princess Shen Xiu said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's really uncomfortable, why don't we go out to find her?" By the way, let's take a look at the scenery in the Tenth Brother's Mansion. ”

"No matter how good it is, it is estimated that it can't compare to the fifth brother's mansion."

"I heard that in order to marry the five princesses, the five princes deliberately spent a high price to rebuild the Five Princes' Mansion, is it really as beautiful as the legend?" A lady asked curiously.

"Isn't it?" Xia Yixiao sighed, "It is estimated that in addition to the East Palace, the courtyard belonging to the fifth brother is the most beautiful and exquisite." ”

Shen Xiu chuckled when he heard this: "The East Palace is mostly a gift from the emperor, but it can't compare to the fifth brother's intentions for the fifth brother and sister." ”

Another high-ranking official's wife was speechless: "The fifth prince is really good to the fifth princess!" ”

Most of the women at the scene showed envious looks, although the five princes were usually a little absurd, and their feelings for the five princesses were the same, if their husbands could have the five princes' intentions for the five princesses, they would be satisfied.

Shen Xiu listened to the envious remarks of these ladies, and couldn't help but think of the prince, the prince is the prince, and naturally he has no tenderness and sweetness for her ordinary wives and concubines, but the prince gave her the greatest honor, and he never interfered in the affairs of the backyard, she thought, the prince is not bad for her like this.

But what she didn't know was that her beloved Royal Highness the Crown Prince was holding other women in her arms at this time.

After the hurried exercise, Lin Jingxian snuggled in the arms of the crown prince Ye Zheng with a flushed face, with a happy expression on her face.

"I'm not reconciled." The crown prince bit her ear and said, "If only I had been in the capital when my father gave me the marriage, so that you would always be by my side." ”

Hearing this, Lin Jingxian's eyes were also full of loss: "Your Highness, this is not your fault, who knew that it would be such a coincidence!" ”

She said and recalled the time when she first met the prince, at that time her father was not the head of the Hanlin Academy, and she was only the daughter of a six-grade petty official, and her father had always been strict with her, and she begged for a long time before her father allowed her to go out of the house on the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day.

My father is honest, and there is nothing to make a living at home, seeing that the other eldest ladies are carrying exquisite lanterns, she also wants one, and she has no money to buy it, so let's go and win one.

She won the most beautiful lantern with her own skills, but she didn't expect this scene to fall into the eyes of the prince, and under his arrangement, she was moved by the handsome and noble man in front of her.

Later, she also knew that he was the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she was sincerely afraid for a while, it was he who promised him that he would be devoted to himself in the future.

But at that time, he had already married the crown princess, and her identity was not enough to be the side concubine, so under his promotion, she had the title of the first beauty in the capital, and her father also became the head of the Hanlin Academy.

Just as he was about to ask the saint to marry her as a side concubine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sent to Jiangnan to inspect, and neither of them took this inspection seriously, and the two could finally become married when he returned from Jiangnan.

But who knew that the Holy Lord gave her a marriage at this time, and also gave Ye Qiu this waste.

At that time, Ye Qiu's preference for beauties spread throughout the capital, and the saint was also very impatient with this son, thinking that Lin Jingxian was the first beauty in the capital and would definitely make his fifth prince take his heart, and thinking that Lin Jingxian's father was old-fashioned and pedantic, which could just educate Ye Qiu, so in the eyes of the saint, Ye Qiu and Lin Jingxian were a natural pair.

But she didn't want Lin Jingxian to be struck by lightning when she received this holy decree, she wanted to resist the decree, but she was afraid that the family would be guilty after resisting the decree, she wanted to contact the prince, but there was no way.

So when the prince came back from Jiangnan, the wedding date was close at hand, and everything was irretrievable.

The night before Lin Jingxian got married, the prince couldn't stand that his beloved woman was about to become his brother's woman, and finally asked her.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu was stupid, and he was fooled whether he had a cave or not.

"Wait for me, when I get to that position, we can be together every day, and our sons and daughters will have their more esteemed status." Prince Ye Zheng tightened his hand holding Lin Jingxian.

Lin Jingxian smiled sweetly, as if she had already met the scene he promised.

The two of them warmed up for a while, and then Lin Jingxian hurriedly got up to sort out her clothes and hair accessories, and quietly left this quiet courtyard alone.

"Princess, where have you been?" As soon as her figure appeared, Hibiscus and Fleur hurriedly said.

Mu Hibiscus also said: "If you don't show up, Princess, Furong and I will inform the steward of the Ten Princes' Mansion to go and find you." ”

"Okay, what's the big deal, I'm just going a little farther." Lin Jingxian said calmly, "Don't make such a fuss in the future, just do what I tell you to do." ”

"Yes." Mu Hibiscus bowed, and lowered his eyes to hide the suspicion in it.

"Fifth sister-in-law, where are you!" As soon as their master and servant finished speaking, a group of people came over from a distance, Xia Yixiao greeted her with a smile, "Don't see too much of the exquisite scenery in the Fifth Brother's Mansion, the courtyard in the Old Ten Mansion is almost the same, let's get lost!" ”

"I guess so." The ladies next to them smiled and responded with a look of great envy.

Lin Jingxian choked for a moment, so she had to take the opportunity to reply: "I ate a little too much wine, and I was dizzy, so I walked away." ”

She stood in front of this path, for fear that Shen Xiu would lead everyone across this path to the courtyard where the prince was resting, although she knew that there were secret guards guarding her, she was still a little weak-hearted.

But looking at Shen Xiu's expression of not knowing anything, she was a little proud, what about the scenery now? is not a tool used by the prince, when the prince ascends the throne, Shen Xiu and her child's position will be her and Ming'er's.

Lin Jingxian now only prayed that the saint would die soon, so that she could return to that person's side as soon as possible.

Shen Xiu has been sitting firmly as the crown princess for so many years, and her mind is not simple, so she naturally noticed Lin Jingxian's eyes, but she was a little unclear, just when she was suspicious, someone came to report: "The princess Niangniang." ”

"What?"

"The fifth prince is drunk, clamoring for the fifth princess, the seventh prince and the tenth prince mean that it is better to disperse first today."

"I see." After Shen Xiu finished speaking, the ladies behind him also retreated, and soon only she, Lin Jingxian and Xia Yixiao were left.

At this time, there were only four brothers left in the front yard, Ye Qiu, Ye Ke, Ye Kai and Ye Qi, all of whom were a family, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.

Ye Qiu, as the people said, was drunk, and kept shouting the words "princess, Jingxian", and anyone could see that he had a deep affection for Lin Jingxian.

Xia Yixiao only glanced at it, then shifted her gaze away from Lin Jingxian's face, and happened to see her flash of disgust.

She was stunned for a moment, but there didn't seem to be much surprise in her heart.
