Chapter 226: Breaking Branches (18)

"It's over, it's over, the system is cutie, my man has changed his mind." Xi Gu was a little sad in her heart, although she knew that every man in the world had lost his memory, and it was likely to be an inevitable plot to be controlled by the world, but she had always firmly believed that this man would definitely fall in love with her at first sight and would take extra care of herself.

Thinking of the anxious and caring look of the other party when he was injured just now, he changed his face so quickly.

Xi Gu'an sighed: "When we become Princess Ning, we will be beaten into the cold palace." ”

The system was a little surprised: "But you've become soul mates." ”

"That's right, but it confirms the saying, what you can't get is the best."

The system was speechless for a moment, and even felt that what the host said made perfect sense.

"Let's go, let's take a look." A low male voice interrupted Xi Gu'an's thoughts, and when he looked over, Ling Xiqian had already moved to the bottom of the carriage with his own strength, and was stretching out his hand towards her.

Ling Xiqian took her hand down and let Xi Guan push him around the courtyard.

"This is where we will live in the future, so naturally we have to let another owner visit it. If there is anything you are not satisfied with in the decoration of this house, you can tell me, I will send someone to redecorate, you can rest assured, it will not delay the day of our marriage. ”

Xi Gu Cheng stared at the man's face, looking at his face without much expression, and thought that this man was really indifferent to herself to this point, but after hearing his words, her face could not hide the look of shock.

"One...... Living together? ”

Ling Xiqian lifted his eyelids and glanced at her funny: "You are my princess, this is our new house in the future, if you don't live together, will you let you move here alone?" Not to mention that you will be ridiculed by everyone, without the company of the princess in the middle of the night, I will also feel empty, lonely and cold. ”

The second half of his sentence lowered his voice, with a little hoarse bewitchment, although his tone sounded a little joking, but it made Xi Gu'an's face blush and his heart jump. She turned her face away from the man's teasing expression.

"But...... Isn't your palace in the center of Kyoto? Obviously, such a secluded place should have been carefully chosen by his master, and in such a sparsely populated location, it should be very far from Kyoto City.

Thinking of the identity of King Ning now, and the increasingly heavy royal contradictions, Xi Gu'an's eyes sank, according to the original plot, the emperor was very jealous of this king of the opposite sex who had no blood relationship with him, and from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he wanted to get rid of him by various means, but unfortunately, maybe this big guy was too lucky, and his means were too good, so that all these difficulties became his stepping stones, and he climbed step by step to the point that even the royal family could not control.

The emperor had no choice but to smile and offer him, and began to take the means of assassination behind his back, but unfortunately it only hurt the legs of His Royal Highness King Ning, on the contrary, it gave the other party a chance to withdraw from the border from now on, plus the guard of the house where the Imperial Forest Army he applied for this, as long as he moved a hair, it would cause great consequences, how could he not let him bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

As His Majesty thought, Xi Gu'an also felt that this was a special scheming for His Royal Highness King Ning, and the success of that assassination may also be the result of Ling Xiqian's secret operation, which made the emperor even more jealous, and he couldn't make a move for a while.

However, Xi Gu'an didn't think that the emperor would let Ling Xiqian go, there would definitely be big moves in the future, and he had to be vigilant. At the same time, a question also popped up in her head - did the emperor's marriage this time have any other purpose besides accusing His Royal Highness King Ning?

"What, what's not to like?"

Xi Gu'an came back to his senses and found that he had been in a daze for a long time, and had already walked to the middle of the house, surrounded by an empty lake, in which large lotus flowers were planted one after another. Only now in winter, the lotus has already withered, and only a bare branch is left to wade in the wind.

Although it was withered, the branches were full and fresh, and it was obvious that they had been carefully tended every day, which surprised Xi Gu'an very much.

Seeing her expression, Ling Xiqian said: "Although this house is empty, I will ask someone to clean it up every day, and I will not be in a hurry when the time comes." ”

Around the lake is an exquisite attic with a unique carved structure and patterned windows, which is obviously a good place to cool off in summer. Next to the attic are several warm pavilions, which are thoughtfully prepared with charcoal and bedding.

"It's very complete," Xi Gu'an felt that even if it was not too much to do with the palace, he hurriedly appreciated, "There is nothing to prepare, I like the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Ning very much." ”

Ling Xiqian nodded: "Time is in a hurry, if you are not suitable, you can arrange it slowly after entering the mansion." The second day of the next month is a good day, and I will personally go to Xi Mansion to propose marriage. "Fire Book

Xi Gu'an was stunned, in the original plot, Ling Xiqian didn't care about the original owner at all, and stayed in Jiangnan in the name of disaster relief outside, and didn't mention any relatives, but this marriage still had to go on in the end, Xi Gu'an hurriedly summoned Ling Xiqian back three days before entering the mansion. On the wedding day, I met my newlywed husband for the first time, and after that, it was the endless cold treatment.

Xi Gu's heart warmed, and sure enough, it was still the man in front of him, gentle, powerful and resolute.

……

After visiting the mansion, Xi Gu'an was sent back to the Xi Mansion, Ling Xiqian, as a male dependent, was inconvenient to enter the Inner Mansion, and he was also worried that Xi Gu'an's reputation would be damaged, so he just sent it to the door and left.

Back in the mansion, Xi Ruorui had already come back first, and Yang Manqing and Xi Ruorui had already set up a Hongmen banquet waiting for them.

After receiving the guidance of the maid, Xi Gu'an stepped into the backyard for the first time. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yang Manqing with a smile on her face, she got up kindly, beckoned Xi Guan to sit in her position, and asked with concern: "Where did An An go just now, let me and your sister be so worried." ”

Xi Gu'an made a salute to her, and then said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Ning made an appointment, and Gu An had to obey." ”

Yang Manqing naturally heard the news from Xi Ruorui's mouth, her face changed slightly, and she soon became gentle again. She frowned, a little worried: "Although you are a marriage contract appointed by the Holy Lord, you have not yet married, and it is not considerate for this lonely man and widow to get along." 、”

"It's okay, auntie, I know how to be measured," she said with a smile, "but my aunt's reminder is also right, I suddenly remembered one thing, although this sister has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been worried about his sister recently, but the long time in and out of the inner mansion is still not good for my sister's reputation." ”

Yang Manqing's smile froze, she didn't think that the girl had been silent at all, but today she was so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and a basin of dirty water was actually splashed on herself. This girl definitely didn't have such courage before, thinking of Ling Xiqian's attitude and concern for her that Xi Ruorui talked about today,; Yang Manqing secretly gritted her teeth in her heart, she must not let this girl go on like this, otherwise she will soon be able to climb to her head with momentum!

Thinking of this, her eyes wandered over Xi Gu'an's face again, and she blamed again: "An An, your face is already good, why don't you tell your father that it hurts us to worry." ”

"Auntie misunderstood, this is just a simple makeup technique, after all, it is the banquet of the eldest princess, Gu An knows that his appearance is ugly and difficult to get into the elegant hall, so he made such a decision."

After getting this answer, Yang Manqing was satisfied, she was originally annoyed because she had relaxed her supervision of Xi Gu'an in the past few days, and she didn't know when this person would recover her appearance, so it seemed that this girl's biggest handle was still in her hand. Even His Royal Highness the Prince, who is sincere and upright, dislikes this Rakshasa ugly girl like this, not to mention His Royal Highness King Ning, who has the appearance of a heavenly man, Yang Manqing dares to guarantee that if His Royal Highness King Ning sees this face, I am afraid that even this marriage contract will be pushed away!

There was a hint of calculation in her eyes, but the movements of her hands were extraordinarily enthusiastic.

"I must have eaten nothing in the fire at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, let's not talk about it for a while, let's try my aunt's craftsmanship." She quickly jumped a few chopsticks and said, "When you have time, please invite His Royal Highness King Ning to be a guest, after all, we will be a family in the future." ”

Xi Gu'an naturally nodded obediently, and lowered his head to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

I'm afraid that the next time I come will make this aunt's calculations come to naught.

……

Soon came to the second year of junior high school, Xi Gu'an had no sensitivity to the ancient times, but he was always uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.

As if to confirm her conjecture, Mu Zhi suddenly shouted loudly outside the door: "Miss-Miss-"

This was the first time she had seen Mu Zhi so panicked, she thought something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Zhi took a few breaths before he spoke: "His Royal Highness King Ning has come down to propose." Her eyes flashed with excitement and novelty, and she waved her hands as if she was going to make a gesture, "There are a lot of dowry gifts, and there are hundreds of people who give dowry gifts alone, and the yard can't be put down!" ”

Xi Gu'an was stunned and rolled his eyes: "What time is today?" ”

Mu Zhi was a little stunned by her sudden change of topic, but he still said honestly: "The second day of the lunar month." ”

Thinking of the words that the man promised to hire in the second year of junior high that day, as well as this layout that was obviously for himself, Xi Guan couldn't help but laugh dumbly - it was really a bit childish and domineering.
