Shi Qingqian nodded suspiciously.

The dowry concubine is very similar to the dowry concubine, but the dowry concubine is to accompany the princess to marry as a concubine, and the marrying concubine is to send the princess to the princess, and then return after the marriage ceremony is completed, which is not considered to be a marriage. The only thing that is the same is that both require a sister or a relative of the princess.

"I heard that the fifth princess, your concubines are two relatives of the Shen family, but I haven't heard that you are accompanied by a maid to marry."

The fifth princess nodded vigorously, "I didn't give a concubine, one is because my sisters are not of the same age, and the other is because the daughters of my relatives' family are not qualified because they don't have enough positions." After all, giving a bride to a wife can be regarded as an official position, and many people want to take advantage of this to be contaminated with blessings, and their marriage will be smooth in the future. ”

Shi Qingqian raised his eyebrows, looking at the fifth princess's meaningful expression, Shi Qingqian only felt that she had something to say, so he said tentatively: "Ahem...... Fifth princess, don't you want me to ...... Be your dowry, right? ”

The fifth princess nodded shyly, and in the next second, she looked up at Shi Qingqian expectantly, held her hands, and prayed: "Yes!" Sister, would you like to...... Dongwu is a long way up the mountain, and I am not familiar with that Tuoba Liangbi, so I went alone, and I was really scared......"

"But I, but I haven't been there either......" Shi Qing scratched his cheeks uncomfortably.

She never thought that she would be able to go to the outside world as a dowrywoman. In fact, Shi Qingqian did not reject it in his heart, on the contrary, he wanted to go, as the fifth princess said, the married women are all blessed women, and many people do not have this opportunity if they break their heads.

Although Shi Qingqian didn't care about the identity of the bride girl, he really wanted to take this opportunity to see the legendary Dongwu.

It's just that the fifth princess expects so much from herself, but she doesn't dare to agree easily.

"But as long as my sister is here, I feel at ease!" The fifth princess said sincerely.

Shi Qingqian's heart trembled, this feeling of being needed is really exciting. She pursed her lips and said, "If the fifth princess really needs me, I am naturally willing...... I just don't know if my father and mother are willing to ...... After all, Soochow is far away......"

"I'll go tell you!" The fifth princess interrupted, and couldn't help but settle the matter for Shi Qingqian, "Sister Qian, don't worry, I mentioned it to my father before, he said that as long as you are willing, you will send a master to protect you, and you will personally greet the Hou Mansion!" ”

"Original...... You're ready for it! Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this little girl had already thought about being a wedding maid by herself, and today she called herself to comfort and complain about the hardships, and persuaded herself to be a wedding maid is the real purpose!

She smiled and pretended to be angry and reproached: "Wow little Nizi! How dare you calculate me! ”

"Hahahaha, I didn't! I was really uncomfortable just now......" The fifth princess smiled and dodged Shi Qingqian's 'attack', and then pounced again, greedily burying her face in Shi Qingqian's arms.

She closed her eyes gently, and her tone was gentle and reassuring: "Sister, seriously, with you, I feel a lot more relieved." ”

Shi Qingqian has never been 'confessed' by a girl like this, she can only say that this feeling is very good. She stopped moving, and let the fifth princess hang around her neck, hoping that her not too broad shoulders would give her a little security.

"Fifth princess, we are good friends for life."

"Well, it's nice to have you."

On this day, Shen Lun issued an edict, and appointed Shi Qingqian as the dowry daughter of the five princesses, and the five princesses were named 'Tianyue', and set off to marry Dongwu twenty days later.

It was also from this day that Shi Qingqian began to enter the palace every day to help the fifth princess sort out the last things and do a good job in the aftermath. She is serious by nature, and her mind is sharp, and she has covered all the things on the fifth princess, not only that, but she is also well organized, and finally let the fifth princess live a peaceful life for a few days before getting married.

"By the way, Fifth Princess, didn't you say that the emperor would send me a secret guard? Why haven't I seen a shadow for so many days? ”

Shi Qingqi and the fifth princess sat under the tree and drank tea, after working hard day by day, it was rare to be free, Shi Qingqian suddenly remembered this matter, and asked.

The fifth princess frowned and blinked her glasses twice, and said, "Your secret guards have been following you for more than ten days, haven't you noticed?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Shi Qingqian almost didn't even hold the teacup steady, "How is it possible?" No one has been here at all! ”

"Dark Guard, Secret Guard, they all said it was 'Dark', if they swaggered to find you, can they still be called 'Dark Guard'?" The fifth princess smiled, looked at Shi Qingqian's stunned look, and had no choice but to shake her head and say, "Come out and let Lord Baoying see you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Qingqian only felt a whistling breeze in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw a man in black jumping down from the tree next to him, his body was so steady that he didn't seem to move at all.

His eyes drooped slightly, he didn't look directly at anyone, and he was dressed in pure black, but it was not the chivalrous uniform worn by ordinary people, but a lighter and more convenient clothes. The man wrapped his mouth and nose in a black scarf, half covering his face. But you can still see the bridge of the nose is high, and the eyes are like stars.

What surprised Shi Qingqian the most was that this man turned out to be short-haired, you must know how difficult it was to see a short-haired man in this ancient world.

"You, you...... Where are you from! Shi Qingqian was startled, and covered his heart for a long time, "Fifth princess, this, is this my secret guard?" ”

The fifth princess nodded, and the man in black also knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Lord Baoying, your subordinate Yan Xiao is the secret guard sent by the emperor to protect you. ”

Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, this section ...... It's too similar to the scene where the princess and the knight meet, right?

It was the first time for her to have this kind of magical close-quarters secret guard, especially this Yan Xiao was unsmiling, tall and straight, and her half-concealed face could also see the delicacy and handsomeness of her person, which made Shi Qingqian couldn't help blushing and heartbeat, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Her mind was confused for a moment before she spoke, "Uh...... Yan Xiao, are you cold? ”

There was a sudden silence in the air for a moment, and the embarrassment was about to drown out all the three people present.

"Ahem," in the end, the fifth princess couldn't bear such embarrassment, and said, "Sister, this is your secret guard, just ask him if he's cold?" ”

Shi Qingqian's old face flushed, and he felt that he was really a turtle. The fifth princess must have seen a lot of dark guards since she was a child, and she has long been surprised, "Secret guards...... You'll feel cold, too, right, Yan Xiao? ”

Yan Xiao's expression was slightly stunned, he had been a secret guard for so many years, where would anyone ask themselves if they were cold as soon as they came up? It's not about training, he ...... I don't know how to answer.

Shi Qingqian didn't feel anything about Yan Xiao's silence, and thought that these secret guards were just asked not to speak loudly.

She stretched out her hand and just wanted to pat Yan Xiao on the shoulder, asking him to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, but the second her fingers just touched his shoulder, Yan Xiao bounced away like an electric shock.

Shi Qingqian's hand was still hanging in the air, and he looked at him with a confused expression, "Yan Xiao...... What's wrong? ”
