According to the usual rule, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the harem held a longevity festival to celebrate, so that the longevity festival was handled by the queen, supplemented by the virtuous and virtuous concubines, in addition to the pro-noble ministers, some celebrities were also invited, of course, Qin Siya was also in the ranks.

The banquet was held in the Qingli Palace, Xiao Mo sat on the top, the queen lined up, and the rest of the people sat down in turn, saying the official words of auspicious blessings.

Xia Man is in the position of the second concubine, fixed under the second concubine of virtuous virtue, some distance from Xiao Mo, but also clean, only buried his head in eating the meal in front of the case, but he was shouted, "The Wanshou Festival ceremony, why didn't Concubine Heng say a word?"

Xia Man heard the voice and knew that it was Liu Wuwu, and she was worried, in the past, she was only thought to be brainless and impulsive, but now she was disgusted, "Why did the virtuous concubine say this, there is a queen, the queen did not speak, how can the concubine speak easily." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wuwu's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say anything more, but the queen smiled, raised her glass and said some words of prayer to Xiao Mo, and then said to the concubines below: "Long life celebration, for the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty and the benevolence of the new emperor, everyone does not need to be formal, just feel free." ”

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, and rewarded some melons and fruits before the song and dance appeared.

Xia Man was not interested in singing and dancing, and only ate the melons and fruits in front of his desk, but heard the voice beside him, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become his concubine." ”

"What? I can't be his concubine?" Xia Man didn't look up, and knew that it was a thousand shadows.

Thousand Shadows hid her face and coughed, and said, "Yes, it's too capable." ”

Xia Man glanced at him and ignored it anymore, but heard Qianying say again: "The boy in Tsing Yi below should be your brother Qin Siya." ”

"What do you want to calculate about him?" As soon as Xia Man saw Qianying's expression, as well as the hands that were about to move with the abacus, he knew his plan.

"I heard that you have a blood jade bead in your house, which can attract countless poisonous insects in the moonlight, but is it true?"

"I don't know, you can just ask him." Xia Man shook his head, he really didn't know much about the Qin family.

Qianying pursed his mouth, took the wine, and walked straight in the direction of Qin Siya.

Xiao Mo sat on the top and saw the situation below clearly, this Qianying is really a money fan.

Qin Siya was originally tasting melons and fruits, but when he raised his eyes at first glance, he caught a glimpse of Qianying, and said with some surprise: "Qianying Gongzi?"

"You know me?" Qianying put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the wine jug on the table again, and filled Qin Siya with wine.

"I've heard my little sister talk about it a few times." Qin Siya raised his glass to show his salute in return.

Qianying smiled on her lips, drank a glass of wine, and said, "It's a great blessing to meet Brother Qin today, after the celebration, can you enjoy your face?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Siya said, "It's okay." ”

Chikage received an answer, and after a complacent drink, she returned to her desk.

The singing and dancing were over, the celebration was over, and the disposition of all parties ended on this day.

The former queen Liu Jin was demoted to a concubine and moved to the Qiuming Palace, the abolished prince Xiao Wei was imprisoned in the courtyard, and King Jing Xiao Huai was demoted to the Marquis of Shangshui to go to the fiefdom, and was not allowed to go out without permission.

After everyone retreated, Qin Siya got Xiao Mo's approval and met with Xia Man alone.

"Is my little sister okay?"

"Thank you big brother for your concern, I'm fine."

Qin Siya took out a white jade ring from his arms and handed it to Xia Mandao: "This is left by Mrs. Xia, and now that you are a wife, I will hand it over to you." ”

Xia Man took it, and felt that between the contacts, the jade ring had a temperature, and he couldn't help but play with it.

Halfway through, Qin Siya sighed and said, "Although you are the imperial concubine and enjoy the wealth of the heavenly family, you can't be a white-hearted person in the end, do you regret it?"

Xia Man heard this, stunned, she thought about this question many times, but in the end she couldn't resist the emotions in her heart, so she chose to do so, and now when she was asked, her heart tightened, "Although I yearn for it, but I can't help it, he is the emperor, he has his own responsibility, and I can't force it." ”

"The little sister is transparent, the eldest brother will not say much, if you are wronged, remember to go to the mansions with the jade pendant, and the Qin family is your protection."

"I remember."

After leaving the Inner Palace, Qin Siya met Qianying at the gate of the palace, and then was welcomed to the Illusion Pavilion.

"I didn't expect the Illusion Pavilion to look so ordinary from the outside." Qin Siya looked around.

Qianying took him to his inner room, poured tea, and said, "The humble house is simple, naturally not as good as the Qin Mansion." ”

Qin Siya smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "The Thousand Shadows will be invited here, but there is something important?"

"Naturally, can Brother Qin borrow the Blood Jade Bead for use?"

"This pearl is unknown, the ancestral training must not be taken lightly, I don't know what the Thousand Shadows are going to do?" Qin Siya put down the teacup and looked at Qianying with an inquiring gaze.

"Save people." In just two words, Thousand Shadows suddenly became serious.

"Since it is to save people, why not borrow you." Qin Siya paused, and hesitated a little, "It's just that the Qin family has rules, and if you are not from your own clan, you can't see it." ”

Qianying's eyebrows frowned, these children of the family always have some pedantic rules, and now it is important to save people, so they have to find another way, "Brother Qin's meaning is that people from their own clan can borrow it?"

Qin Siya nodded, "Exactly." ”

"That's easy." Qianying removed the red rope that bound her hair, tied one end to her wrist, and tied the other end to Qin Siya's wrist, "According to the gift of the Illusion Pavilion, in this way, you and I are brothers who are not separated from each other. ”

Qin Siya was surprised by Qianying's movements, and before he could speak, Qianying said again: "Now that you and I are brothers, we are considered to be of the same clan, can you lend me the blood jade bead?"

"Uh......" Qin Siya was surprised, so he had to untie the red rope on his wrist, "The gift of the Illusion Pavilion, I don't dare to agree." ”

"Xia Man married his senior brother, so it's also a family, so you can borrow it from me." Qianying looked at Qin Siya with a harmless look on his face, with a taste of pleading.

Qin Siya thought for a moment, and then said: "When I return to the Northern Dynasty in the near future, I will have someone send it to you, but you must not use it for harming people." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured, saving people will never harm people." Qianying sat down and said, "I'll go back with you, and it won't save you trouble." ”

"Whatever you want." Qin Siya knew about the relationship between Qianying and Xiao Mo, and just for this matter, he should help Xia Man remember a favor.

After the Wanshou Festival, Qin Siya bought a lot of dowries for Xia Man before returning to the Northern Dynasty, and Qianying also followed.

In the evening, after Xia Man finished bathing, he was about to rest, but he heard footsteps, so he put on a blanket, poked his head out to check, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the visitor, "Shouldn't you be in Weiyang Palace today?"

"I talked to the queen and came over." Xiao Mo took off his coat, got on Xia Man's couch, hugged Xia Man, and said, "The dowry given by the Qin family is all for you to put in the side hall." ”

"Dowry?" Xia Man put his cold hand on Xiao Mo's chest, and only then did he feel some warmth, "If you don't marry or marry, it's hard to be a big brother." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Mo was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Man's words, and pressed her under him with a turnover, and a majestic voice came from above, "Are you complaining about me?"

Xia Man hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Xiao Mo kissed Xia Man's neck shallowly, and whispered: "Although you and I have not performed the great ceremony and entered the temple, but ......" Xiao Mo suddenly stood up, sat sideways beside Xia Man, pulled off the hairpin on his head, stretched out his left index finger, and stabbed hard, and blood beads came out, and before Xia Man could react, he put his index finger into her mouth and said: "The Illusion Pavilion is polite, and if you eat my blood, you will be one with me." ”

Xia Man's mouth was suddenly filled with the smell of blood, and before he could swallow it, Xiao Mo kissed it, and only after half a sound did he let go of Xia Man, "I know what you think in your heart, can you trust me when you suffer from gains and losses." ”

Xia Man smiled, didn't speak, just got up, pushed Xiao Mo down on the couch, pinched his face, and bit it viciously, Xiao Mo was in pain, turned over, and the two changed positions, laughing, no matter how many words they gave each other, they couldn't give each other warmth.
