said: "How nice would it be if you could marry such a beautiful child home?" Hear that. Jiang Yan's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes looked deeply at Qiao Siwan, who was now standing in the courtyard talking with Lin Yuanxin.

The crown princess was stunned. smiled casually: "Look at you greedy and insufficient." On this day, all the women below can be recruited into the house! ”

Shi's words are a joke. I didn't take it very seriously. Jiang Yan lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened. The eyes are obscured by the shadow of the eyelashes. It's extraordinarily dark and dark. There are infinite waves hidden: "You are talking and laughing, but I am afraid that Miss Qiao is high-spirited and will not look down on the Prince's Mansion." As he spoke, he seemed to lose interest in talking. Stand up and say goodbye to everyone. Zhou Zhijun looked at Jiang Yan's back and said goodbye, and the smile in his eyes sank suddenly.

Shi was inexplicably choked by Jiang Yan, but it was only after a while that she calmed down, and Ning smiled for her: "Yes, I don't know who Miss Qiao will fall in in the future?" ”

Zhou Zhijun smiled back: "Such a beautiful young lady." Whoever falls into the house is a blessing. She said. The smile on his face became unpredictable. At this time, Lin Yuanxin happened to enter from inside, and Zhou Zhijun smiled at her: "There is another good news to mention." The Wuguo Mansion asked my grandmother to go to Lord Qiao's Guiyu to say goodbye, does Concubine Lin know? ”

Sure enough, this matter was related to Zhou Zhijun, Lin Yuanxin's mind was racing, and she had already said: "Is that so?" Oh, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known! No, if this is the case, the old lady should also tell me, there has been no movement for so long. I'm afraid I didn't answer. Don't you know that Old Lady Joe loves me as a cousin. I'm going to keep her for two more years! Her expression was so sincere. The tone was also very serious: "Besides, no matter what happens, it's always not good to talk nonsense, even if the engagement is divorced, not to mention that there is nothing to do with these eight characters." ”

The expression on Lin Yuanxin's face. Very pliant. These words blocked Zhou Zhijun's mouth. She was saying that if Zhou Zhijun spread the shadowless thing everywhere, it would lead to a long-tongued woman. Zhou Zhijun laughed quietly, and gradually said: "When my mother came to visit me, I occasionally mentioned this matter. I also said that I became a coffee. ”。

The crown princess watched the two of them talk enthusiastically back and forth, so she lowered her eyes and sat quietly to enjoy tea. Not a word. But he sighed softly in his heart.

When the king of Mingjun left the prince's mansion, he reported that the queen mother had issued an edict and ordered him to enter the palace to see him. He thought about it slightly, and ordered his personal guards to rush to the eldest princess's mansion with a letter, and he changed his clothes and entered the palace.

Taiji Palace, orange-yellow glazed tiles, red palace walls, white jade carved railings, turquoise pond water, elegant peonies. Complement each other. Extraordinarily gorgeous.

The easterly sun shone on the window paper, reflecting the south hall yellow. The carved gold furnace on the desk burned ambergris. Wisps of thin misty light smoke slowly dispersed into the depths of the palace. A calming fragrance that grows stronger. In the main hall there is a couch covered with thin felt, covered with a soft cover embroidered with peonies. The Queen Mother wore a pillow and a pillow embroidered with a prosperous peony picture, half sitting and half lying. Lord Rong took a gold cigarette pouch. Fill the pot with top-quality cloud tobacco. There are two cigarette bottles. Rotate on top of the cigarette pouch. She packed the tobacco. Place the cigarette bottle in the tobacco pouch and touch the fire with a flint. lit the paper eyebrows, half-knelt on the ground, and handed the cigarette bottle to Taibei in front of his eyes.

The palace clothes on Lord Rong's body shone with a silky light. The little hairpin in Yunmo's hair trembled. Following her movements, she looked very pretty among the female officials who were dressed the same around her, and she was particularly protruding, and the queen mother bit the pipe with her mouth, and gently inhaled it when the lord of Rong County lit the fire, and the faint smoke lingered in the air. This tobacco is the top polar cloud silk supplied in the south, there is no impurity at all, and it enters the heart and spleen after a slight exhalation, which is extremely elegant and pleasant.

After King Mingjun entered, he saluted the Queen Mother. Strands of his hair were firmly tied under the golden crown. The eyebrows of the young face are slanted, the midnight-like eyes are slightly dark because of the sunset, and the bridge of the nose is shaved to a moderate extent. Thin lips with a shallow, moderate, shallow smile.

The Queen Mother said slowly that the lord of Rong County would take the cigarette pouch to the side, and she groaned. Tea, finally spoke. Seems to be smiling. It's sentimental again", it's late. Alas. It's been a long time since I saw you. These days have passed so fast, and in the blink of an eye, your mother has passed away for more than two years. ”

"That's what you said." King Mingjun replied lightly.

The golden curtain of the hall reflects the dark light. The face of the Queen Mother was full of light and shadow. She glanced at his detached face and sighed. "But for more than two years, you have insisted on refusing to marry, and you are not even happy with the engagement, this filial piety is really commendable, and your mother has seen it in the sky. I will also feel relieved. It's just that in a few days, your filial piety will be completed, and you don't want to receive it? ”

Jiang Chi smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when a singing sounded outside the door, and the emperor arrived. "Outside the main hall. The Emperor strode in, smiling warmly: "Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly. His eyes fell on the eldest princess behind the emperor, and the smile on his face suddenly sank slightly. She just brought Jiang Chi over, and she came over there, which was really too coincidental.

Princess Celestia saluted. He sat down on the rosewood chair next to him and said with a light smile: "The imperial grandmother is so warm here, is there any merit?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "It's just that it's been a long time since I saw him, let him come to sit in the palace of the mourning family." ”

The emperor and the eldest princess were there, and the queen mother did not hide it, saying: "Emperor." Chi is your beloved grandson, how can you not care about his marriage! ”

The emperor's gaze fell on Jiang Chi's body, and then looked at the county lord Rong who was standing next to him with a shallow smile and lowered his head, and frowned slightly.

Princess Celestia smiled. said: "Look at what the imperial grandmother said, his filial piety has not yet expired, where are you so anxious!" Isn't that another half a year? ”

The Queen Mother's expression sank. "What's more than half a year. Even if you don't get married, it's good to get engaged first. Jiang Chi raised his eyes with a slight smile and said calmly: "Queen Mother." Before the filial piety period is completed, they are engaged at will. If it violates the ancestral system, how dare you do it? ”

The emperor nodded and said, "According to the courtesy of the Great Calendar." There is no such precedent. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment. She looked at the emperor. Look at Princess Celestia again. The gaze gradually became cold. Mention it. The emperor was brought up by her. Although he is not her biological son, he is very respectful. than years. He did a lot of things that didn't please her.

Princess Celestia raised her teacup, covered a shallow smile of unknown meaning on her lips, and relaxed, "Late." The imperial grandmother is concerned about your marriage, but this filial piety period has not expired, even if it is a day away, it is not easy to get married, otherwise people will think that you are not enough. A man should get married on coming of age. The female eldest should be married, and when it is really mentioned, the lord of Rong County is also eighteen, the imperial grandmother. Girls have limited youth. Don't delay someone! There was no displeasure on the face of Lord Rongjun, and there was a humble smile on his mouth. But his heart gradually became anxious. The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "She has been by my side since she was a child. Do things right. Calm and modern, I can't leave this child for a while. I just want to keep her for two more years. ”

Celestia puts down her teacup. Instead, he sighed, "I have heard one thing these days, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

The Emperor laughed, "You kid. When did you start learning to sell guanzi?

The corners of the eldest princess's lips raised softly: "Everyone in Kyoto has a legend that in the study of the eldest prince of Wuguo." There is a picture of a woman in the collection, and the woman in the picture is dancing, with a graceful posture and a beautiful appearance. ”；

Lord Rong was stunned for a moment, looking at the eldest princess's unpredictable smile. I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart.

Really. The emperor seems to have fun. He asked, "Oh? The kid of the Chen family must have a collection of portraits of cute people. Whose lady is that? ”

The eldest princess smiled faintly and looked at the Queen Mother. The gaze seems to be able to penetrate the people's spirit. "It's Lord Rong."

Jiang Chi listened in his ears. Lower your gaze. Hiding a smile on his lips, the painting was stored in the eldest princess's mansion, and the one in Chen Jingrui's study should be a copy, but he collected the painting. For the woman in the painting, or for the woman who painted, who can defend him? Regarding Qiao Siwan's secret thoughts that she both hated and liked, even Chen Jingrui himself couldn't explain it clearly.

Lord Rong looked up in astonishment. Thinking of splitting the petals, he touched the angry face of the Queen Mother, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak again. The Queen Mother is not angry but laughs", how can it be Rong'er? She is with me in the palace, how can it be easy for the people inside to see? People are similar, and it may not be true that it is a young lady from another family. ”

"At the last flower-viewing banquet, I invited the county lord to dance, and when Chen Gongzi saw it, he moved his mind. Not to mention My Fair Lady. The righteous person is good, the lord of Rong County is legal and young, and his demeanor is unconventional. Chen Gongzi is in love with her. It's also inevitable. She raised her eyes and looked at Lord Rong and chuckled, "Your Majesty." mentioned that the family background of the Duke of Wuguo matched, and the son of the Chen family was very handsome and mighty. She didn't look at Lord Rong. Keep talking", about having a lover, should the emperor also be thoughtful about a rhyme? "The banquet of that day. Chen Jingrui did not join, it was only after learning that Qiao Siwan had a stunning painting, so people just picked it up. In this section, Princess Celestia completely avoided talking about it.

Lord Rong's expression turned pale all of a sudden, she wanted to speak, what could she say? At the beginning, she was angry that the king of Mingjun refused to put her in his eyes. just showed his talent in front of everyone, but who knew that he fell into such a handle, and he was remorseful for a while, and even his body began to tremble slightly.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "What kind of rhyme is this, it's just a young man who is ignorant and playing, it's really ignorant, and even Rong'er's reputation will be damaged if it spreads." ”

Jiang Chi said lightly: "Imperial grandfather." Mentioning that there is another relationship between the Chen family and the lord of Rong, Miss Chen insisted on giving up her carriage to the lord of Rong that night, but on the way back, she was attacked by bandits and was greatly frightened. Fortunately, the Wuguo Mansion is heavily guarded. Nothing major happened. He said it painlessly, but the Lord of Rong County was shocked when he heard it.

The emperor hesitated a little, but when he heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "This is also a matter of popularity." Well, let's marry the lord of Rong County to the eldest son of the Chen family. ”

The Queen Mother's expression changed suddenly, she looked at the emperor, the eldest princess, and Jiang Chi coldly, almost looking into the hearts of each of them. But Emperor Kim. Jade words. Once he said that he would give marriage, there was no room for redemption. Even if she is the queen mother. Nor can she dismiss the emperor's words in public, thinking of this, a glass white jade armor on her finger was broken in her hand, and she snapped. Scattered to the ground. The emperor didn't see it, but looked at Jiang Chi with a light smile, "You can be regarded as entering the palace today, and you came with the couplet, last time."
