Today is the day of the two princes of Nanzhao and the lord of Tianpu County, there are people gathered at the gate of the city early to greet them, the carriages and horses of the greeting relatives are arranged in an orderly manner outside the city gate, and the people who watch the ceremony are also looking forward to it, as early as a few days ago, the matter of marrying the second prince of Tianpu County was spread among the people of Nanzhao, it is said that the lord of Tianpu County is a rare talented woman, and the second prince is very loved by the people, so the onlookers can't wait to see how lucky the woman can marry the second prince.

"Have you heard, it is said that this county lord is deeply loved by the Emperor of Tianpu, and when he was about to marry, he was reluctant to cry."

"Yes, yes, I also heard that this county lord is so talented that he always makes her master feel ashamed."

"But it's okay, no matter how good it is, can it be compared to our second prince? I don't know how it grows, whether it is worthy of the second prince or not"

......

The bustling crowd waited anxiously in the hope of seeing the true face of the Tianpu County Lord, but a few hours passed, and there was no movement, some people had left and came a few times, and finally in the evening they saw the mighty convoy, the greeting craftsman played joy, the leading carriage slowly entered along the set route, Hongling's carriage accompanied the sound of admiration from time to time in the crowd all the way to the front of the second prince's mansion, only stopped for a long time, Chen Jinye came out to greet her.

Hongling was held by Chen Jinye in a trance for a while, until she arrived at the Xitang, Chen Jinye let her down, she settled down, and then completed the etiquette of Nanzhao according to the guidance of Xi Po, the etiquette is not complicated, cross the brazier, and then perform three bows, even if the ceremony is completed, Hongling was then sent to the cave room to wait. Everything went just right, Xiaoqing stood beside Hongling, the master and servant talked from time to time, until late at night, the second prince Chen Jinye "squeaked" to open the door, Xiaoqing saw him come in, so he went out with the others. Finally, there were only two people left in the whole room, Chen Jinye and Hong Ling, Chen Jinye didn't seem to be in a hurry to see this wife, and sat alone at the table and poured the wine slowly......

"Wait a minute" Hongling noticed his approach, and she lifted her headscarf first, Chen Jinye raised her eyebrows and withdrew her outstretched hand, "What?" What is the princess's displeasure with me? As soon as he spoke, he turned around and paced to the table and sat down, Hongling gritted her teeth and raised her head to stand up from the side of the bed and slowly walked to the table and sat down, "The prince is the prince of Nanzhao and is quite loved by the people, how can I be dissatisfied with the prince, but although the concubine and the second prince are close to each other, they have always ignored the feelings of you and me as parties, so I have the courage to discuss this matter with the prince", Chen Jinye couldn't help but look Hongling up and down when he heard this, with bright teeth and red lips, a pair of curved eyebrows hanging on top of the dark and translucent eyes, and his black hair was obediently pulled behind his ears, A pair of small ears with chic earrings, folded hands on their abdomen when they speak, blinking their eyes from time to time and revealing a little playfulness, and their faces are full of sincerity at this time.

"Oh? I want to hear what you want to discuss with me" Chen Jinye stared at Hong Ling tightly, a pair of eyes with a sense of distance to close the light, bottomless, so that Hong Ling's eyes touched him and there was a feeling of being seen through, Hong Ling subconsciously bit her lower lip and staggered her eyes: "As a member of the royal family, you are arranged like this, and you must be unwilling to marry a woman you have never met, and now I am married and occupy the position of your princess, what if you meet the woman you really like?" I am willing to be your princess, cooperate with you to do all the things that a princess should do, if you meet someone who really loves each other one day, I am willing to give way to her, so as not to embarrass you"

"What about the conditions?"

Hong Ling then said: "Nominally I am your princess, and I am willing to cooperate with you to do everything that a princess should do, but you can't force me to have sex with you, and I also want you to allow me to enter and leave the palace freely." And during this period, no matter how many ladies you have in your house, I can treat each other politely, if you need my help, if there is anything I can do, I will do my best to help", Hong Ling secretly glanced at Chen Jinye after speaking, and felt that she was not very convincing in her heart, pulled the corner of her mouth and picked up the wine glass at random, and handed it to her mouth only to find that it was empty and put down, and the time waiting for him to respond was extraordinarily long. Chen Jinye tapped the table for a while, as if he was seriously considering.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Hong Ling slowly poured herself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp to try to strengthen her courage, and then forced herself to look at Chen Jinye and said, "The prince thinks my proposal is okay?" Or do you think you need to add anything? Chen Jinye watched her drink the wedding night wine with a fearless face, and the corners of her mouth hooked evilly, playing with the taste: "Are you sure?" ”。 Hongling's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Sure, I'm naturally sure", "Then I'll answer you" Hongling saw that he agreed so easily, her heart was happy, and she thought that she had to leave a certificate, "There is no evidence to say, why don't we write it down?" After that, before Hongling came back to her senses, Chen Jinye walked inside to write and draft.

After a while, he wrote a note and handed it to Hong Ling: Since the date of the wedding, Liu Ling'er and I have set up this book as evidence, Liu Ling'er is obliged to perform all the duties that the princess should assume, I will give Liu Ling'er the freedom to enter and leave the palace, I have the right to ban Liu Ling'er as the princess at any time in the future, I will not force Liu Ling'er to have sex with me, but during this period, I put forward a reasonable request to the princess Liu Ling'er must be fully completed. Hongling looked at it and felt that there was no problem, but when she looked up and saw Chen Jinye's playful eyes, she always felt as if she had made a loss-making deal, so she lowered her head and looked carefully a few more times, but she didn't feel that there was any problem when she looked left and right, and couldn't help frowning and wondering in her heart, "Has the princess seen enough?" What's the problem? Chen Jinye asked gently and harmlessly, Hong Ling was startled and blushed, and she always felt weird when she blinked, but she couldn't find fault with it, so she handed it back to him, "No problem", "Then I'll copy another copy, let's sign and draw" Hong Ling looked at Chen Jinye's copying action, angular side face, fair skin, if this is a popular material in modern times, suddenly a dry mouth, a little hot face, and the reaction seemed to be slower, and he accidentally looked at Chen Jinye, and his heart was shocked as if he had missed a few beats.

Chen Jinye raised his head and saw Hongling's abnormality, pretending not to know and calling Hongling over, Hongling sat down and signed and pressed the handprint in a daze, during which Chen Jinye approached Hongling intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Jinye's hair slipped down and just hung on Hongling's shoulder, after signing, he turned his head, the hair slid through the tip of his nose and left a burst of ink fragrance, Hongling was in a trance, Chen Jinye leisurely handed one of the pieces of paper to Hongling, slid over Hongling's hand, and a trace of coldness was transmitted to Hongling through Chen Jinye's hand, Hongling felt very comfortable, Chen Jinye playfully touched Hongling's face: "Do you know what kind of wine you just drank", Hongling was confused: "What wine?" Chen Jinye looked at her evilly, leaned closer to his face and said, "It's the wine of our wedding night."

Hong Ling's ears blew the wind blowing when Chen Jinye spoke, and Hong Ling was excited, "How come?" Didn't you drink it too? Chen Jinye approached the root of Hongling's ear and said: "That little bit of toxicity can't help me", Hongling trembled, bit her lower lip and tried to restore her clarity, pinched a piece of paper in her hand, and slowly turned her back, "Please leave quickly", obviously saying cruel words, but there was a feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome back, Chen Jinye saw this, playfully hooked the corners of his lips and walked out of the door without a moment.

Hongling moved her body slightly, but her feet were so weak that she couldn't move, she endured her physical discomfort, bit the corner of her lip and desperately suppressed the power of the medicine, and shouted with all her strength, "Someone" Xiaoqing responded to the door, "Miss, are you okay?" "Hurry up and prepare water for me, I want cold water, I want to bathe" Xiaoqing saw that Hongling's face was full of abnormal flush, so she understood everything, and said: "Okay, good, slave and maid will go." Taking advantage of Xiaoqing's time to prepare water, Hongling remembered the 'treaty' she had just signed to see that there was no problem and simply hid it.

After a while, the bathing water was ready, Hongling asked everyone else to go out, slowly submerged her body into the water, and the discomfort of the body was greatly relieved, just like that, Hongling soaked in the water for most of the night, and when the sky was getting brighter, she slowly closed her eyes and got a moment of rest.

Now that he has this treaty with Chen Jinye, he has to go outside to buy some properties first, and in the future, when Chen Jinye has someone he likes, he will have a place to stay if he abolishes the position of princess. Thinking of this, Hong Ling stood up from the water, the skin on her body was wrinkled after soaking in the water all night, sighed a few times, silently changed into her underwear, and then called the maid outside to come in to change her clothes and dress up. has broken away from the past, but no matter what others think, as long as he still remembers that his name is Jiang Hongling, it is enough, and now facing a new identity - the princess of the second prince of Nanzhao, it is already a fact.

After cleaning up, he got up and was led by Xiaoqing to the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw three beautifully dressed women, Chen Jinye sat on the left hand side of the chairman There was an empty seat, thinking that it was reserved for himself, so he stepped forward and sat down. Before Hongling could speak, the three women spoke one after another: "The princess is early, and the concubine's name is Luo Luoyu", "Good morning, sister, concubine Yu Fangfei", "Princess's sister is good, concubine Ye Xiaohan".

Hongling swept around and sighed secretly that the two princes were not shallow, these women were delicate and tender, no wonder they agreed to my conditions so easily, thinking that there must be his favorite object among them, "Hello sisters, let everyone wait for a long time, I'm really sorry" Chen Jinye was used to such a happy scene, but he still said with a sincere face: "Ling'er was tired last night, come on, eat more", Hongling glanced at him, this is clearly to become the target of the public, Don't say much, just cover your mouth and blush, and start eating breakfast.

"Ling'er will finish eating in a while and enter the palace with me to meet my father."

"Yes"

The meal was finally eaten peacefully, although there was no lack of undercurrents, but Hong Ling had already decided in her heart that she must find an opportunity to explain it clearly to these women, so as not to have any unnecessary conflicts in the future.

On the carriage, Chen Jinye closed his eyes to recuperate, and Hongling also closed his eyes to rest when he felt sleepy, during which Chen Jinye glanced at her and didn't disturb her, but his heart was flooded with bad water.

The sound of the horse's hooves was accompanied by Hongling's moment of tranquility, her thoughts drifted far away and pulled very close, and what was in the dark that was pushed closer by the so-called fate, as if she was separated by many obstacles, the sky was like a whirlpool churning to force herself closer, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm..."Ah" Hongling was awakened by a nightmare, and as soon as she raised her head, she met Chen Jinye's eyes, like a whirlpool..."Are you okay?" Hong Ling was suddenly taken aback by his words, and quickly staggered her eyes and took a deep breath, "It's just a nightmare."

yes, it's just a nightmare...... Fate, I will not give in to you.
