Two years have passed since the white horse passed through the gap. This is Zong Zhengjin's seventh year in Yangzhou, and this year is also a year of great significance for her, because she is fifteen years old, and it will not be long before she will hold a ceremony of peace.

The seventh day of April is Zong Zhengjin's birthday, and on that day she will hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Before that, the people from all over Yangzhou had already sent a lot of gifts, and the county guards were also actively looking for rare treasures, ready to give them to their beloved Princess Jinyang on that day.

The sky in April is exceptionally sunny and the flowers are vibrant. In the Floating Heart Pavilion, Zong Zhengjin was practicing calligraphy leisurely, and a long dress with warm smoke in aqua blue outlined her delicate body. The slender jade hand held the brush and waved it wantonly on the paper, and a few strands of green silk were placed on the forehead, adding a few strokes of grace to the stunning face. After she put down the pen, Yi Chu on the side stepped forward, looked at her words for a while, his eyes were full of amazement, and nodded: "The pen is soft and steely, generous, and it is indeed a good hand."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." Zong Zhengjin smiled, this smile is the color of the city, and it is extremely enchanting. Yi Chu's eyes flashed with amazement, but then he changed to a faint smile and asked, "By the way, how are you preparing for the day after tomorrow?"

"With Xiaoqing and their co-organizers, I am very relieved." Zong Zhengjin said as she cleaned up the table, and she carefully rolled up the written words.

"Then who are you going to be the guest of honor? Your mother is gone, and the emperor is not around, it seems that only I, a gentleman, can insert hairpins for you. ”

"Sir, you don't need it, Mrs. Xie has already said that she will be my guest, but she has been waiting for this opportunity." Zong Zhengjin hurriedly dispelled his thoughts, Zhengbin could only be an elder, and she didn't want Yi Chu to be her elder.

Yi Chu nodded and said, "That's fine, Old Madam Xie has always treated you as a daughter, and it is most suitable for her to curl your hair for you."

When Yi Chu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What do you want?"

"I want ...... Well, I haven't figured it out yet. Although Zong Zhengjin said so, he fantasized in his heart that he could give himself a hairpin, because the man sent a hairpin at the ceremony to express his liking, but how dare she say this!

Seeing her frowning and a sad expression that she didn't know what to want, Yi Chu turned around with a smile, took out a long brocade box from under the table like a trick, and handed it to her.

"Wow, what is this?"

"Open it and take a look." Hearing this, Zong Zhengjin immediately opened the brocade box happily. I saw a snow-white jade sword lying on the yellow silk cloth.

"Wow!" Zong Zhengjin excitedly took out the jade sword, and pulled out the sword body with a "brush", this sword was extremely sharp, shining dazzling in the sunlight.

"Oh my God, sir, I love this sword so much!" Zong Zhengjin couldn't put it down with the jade sword, this sword looked very delicate and dignified, the scabbard was carved with a phoenix pattern, and the hilt was also hung with a bright yellow sword spike.

"It's good to like it, your martial arts have been practiced very well, and you should have a good sword to match." Yi Chu looked at the sword, a strange gaze flashing in his eyes.

Zong Zhengjin played with the sword carefully, and suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, sir, this sword looks like your white jade sword." Isn't that right?"

"Well, it's pretty much the same, so your martial arts should catch up with me faster." Yi Chu changed the subject lightly.

Zong Zhengjin didn't think too much about it, and immediately nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will catch up with you soon." However, she also said casually, Yi Chu's martial arts are so high, her current skills are not as much as half of Yi Chu's, how can she catch up so quickly!

......

The day before the ceremony, Zong Zhengmin arrived at the princess's mansion with the emperor's reward, looking at the slowly three carts of gifts, everyone was amazed, the emperor was really generous.

"Zhao Qing, why are you beautiful again?" Zong Zhengmin ran behind Zong Zhengjin and grabbed Zhao Qing, who was still in a daze. Zhao Qing was stunned in an instant, although these five princes were a little younger than her, they were taller than her, and they looked like a real young man on the outside, what kind of body did he have to hug him like this, and her innocence was gone!

"Your Highness, let go of the slaves first." Zhao Qing's little face was flushed, and she struggled with her hands to get rid of Zong Zhengmin.

But Zong Zhengmin insisted on not letting go, and said: "What? I haven't seen you for two years, and you're treating me so unfamiliarly? We slept in the same bed when we were kids. As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but want to laugh, Zhao Qing wanted to cry even more without tears, when did these five princes become so cheeky, how could she sleep in the same bed with him, obviously she just fell asleep by the side of his bed.

Seeing Zhao Qing's pitiful eyes looking at him, Zong Zhengjin couldn't bear it, coughed lightly, and pretended to complain: "Oh, I thought that Ah Min would miss my sister the most, but I didn't expect that you only have Zhao Qing in your heart." Alas! My sister is so sad. ”

Hearing this, Zong Zhengmin was stunned at first, and after reacting, he quickly ran to Zong Zhengjin, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "How come? I miss the imperial sister very much, you see, I have lost weight several times recently because I miss you. Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Jong Jung-min tried to raise his face so that she could take a good look.

Everyone was amused by him, and even Zhao Qing, who was hiding behind Dongping, couldn't help laughing. Zong Zhengjin glared at him, and said angrily: "Bad boy, why is it that the older you get, the poorer you become?" Do you still look like a prince?"

"It doesn't matter if you look like a prince or not, the important thing is to make you happy." Zong Zhengmin's dog-legged appearance is really unbearable to look at.

"Hehe, this mouth is so sweet. Let's go, we've got a banquet ready for you. Zong Zhengjin didn't bother to listen to his rhetoric, so he pulled him and walked towards the flower hall.

Zhao Qing, Dongping and others followed. "Sister Zhao, why do these five princes always tease you?" Nan Su muttered quietly, she really couldn't understand what was going on.

"How do I know? Maybe you got used to playing with me when you were a kid. Zhao Qing looked helpless, she knew that she was not so good to him when she was a child, and now she is pestering her.

"These five princes are really, you are a girl in the boudoir, isn't he doing this to destroy your innocence?" Dongping on the side was a little indignant, in her opinion, these five princes are a person who does not learn and has no skills, she has always regarded Zhao Qing as a sister, she doesn't want this five princes to pester Zhao Qing.

"Oh, okay, it's a big deal I'll hide in the future." Zhao Qing comforted them, although she was dissatisfied with Zong Zhengmin, she knew that he didn't have any bad intentions, so she just forbears it for the time being.

But she endured it, but Zong Zhengmin had to make inches. As soon as he finished eating in the evening, he called Zhao Qing over to serve him, Zhao Qing wanted to die, but she could only go hard, who called him His Highness?!

On the seventh day of the first month of April, the weather is sunny, the spring breeze is warm, and the flowers are fragrant, which is a rare good day. The princess's mansion was hung with red lights and red silk, and she was full of joy.

Early in the morning, many carriages were parked in front of the princess's mansion, and in less than half an hour, the hall was already full of people, and the six county guards had all arrived, and each of them brought rare treasures to celebrate the princess's birthday.

And the most striking of these people is the newly appointed Yangcheng County Guard Fang Che. Since the Fang family was hit hard two years ago, Fang Junen has been powerless. A year earlier, he had finally resigned from his official position and asked for his son Fang Che to succeed him as the county warden. Zong Zhengjin agreed without hesitation, and as the youngest county guard in Yangzhou, Fang Che also lived up to expectations, took office for more than a year, handled affairs in an orderly manner, which was praised, coupled with Fang Yueshen's help, Fang Che sat very steadily in the position of county guard.

However, there is also a group of people in the hall who are also eye-catching, and they are all Jianghu people. The leader is a middle-aged man, he is wearing a gray-brown wide-sleeved robe, his gray hair is tied up casually with a thick rope, and the whole person looks a little sloppy, but the people standing behind him are more chivalrous. It's just that no one present dares to be disrespectful to him, because he is the world-famous detective - Bai Xiao. It is said that there are only things in the world that he does not want to know, and there is never anything he does not know. However, he has a withdrawn and eccentric personality, and it is impossible for anyone he does not like to see him to get close to him. And Zong Zhengjin's encounter with him was purely coincidental, just a little help for him to repel the enemy, this Bai Xiao fell in love with Zong Zhengjin and took the initiative to become friends with her. For more than a year, he has also helped Zong Zhengjin solve a lot of things, and also introduced many chivalrous guests to her, so that Zong Zhengjin has accumulated a lot of contacts. In order to thank him, Zong Zhengjin specially invited him to watch the ceremony this time.

In the Xixiang Courtyard, Zong Zhengjin wore a fiery red golden phoenix peony trailing long skirt, with a red jade auspicious cloud ribbon at the waist, and two wishful jade pendants hung around her waist, shining with her movements. At this time, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, her black hair was scattered behind her, her face was like a peach blossom, her skin was like fat jade, and her beautiful eyes were really brighter than the stars in the sky.

Zong Zheng Jinyu caressed the brocade box in her hand, and after slowly opening it, she picked up the peony golden hairpin, and the jade of the flower core reflected a beautiful brilliance in the sunlight. When he touched the word "brocade hairpin" on the hairpin, Zong Zhengjin's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up in a low voice: "Mother, Ah Jin can finally wear the brocade hairpin you customized for me."

"Princess, the hour has come." Zhao Qing and the others walked in, their faces were full of irrepressible exclamation, their princess was really beautiful and not like mortals.

"Hmm. Dongping, send this to Mrs. Xie, let's go. Zong Zhengjin handed over the golden hairpin to Dongping and asked her to send it to Mrs. Xie first, and then she was supported by Zhao Qing and Nan Su to the main hall.

When Zong Zhengjin walked to the main hall wearing black hair and a fiery red dress, everyone's eyes flashed with amazement, and Yi Chu's eyes never took his eyes off her for a moment, and he suddenly realized that his Ah Jin had grown up.

Mrs. Xie wore a dark red dress and happily took the peony golden hairpin, and gently inserted the hairpin for Zongzheng's brocade hair. When the golden hairpin shone in the sun, everyone held their breath and marveled at Zong Zhengjin's stunning face. Maybe there is a more beautiful woman in this world than Zong Zhengjin, but there is no one in this world who is more suitable for this outfit than her. That noble and gorgeous, like the most dazzling and charming fire phoenix on the Nine Heavenly Palace, even if there is no phoenix crown, the whole body still exudes the majesty and dignity of the princess.

"Licheng!" A shout pulled everyone back to reality, and everyone applauded and congratulated, but the eyes were all rolling on Zong Zhengjin.

After the ceremony, the hall began to liven up. Tang Yi was dressed in a royal blue robe and walked straight towards Zong Zhengjin. Two years of experience in Xie Baixun's place made him more and more calm and rigid, exuding elegance all over his body, coupled with his handsome and extraordinary face, Tang Yi has become the object of the daughters of all families in Yangcheng. Although Yi Chu's appearance is far better than him, but because he is too cold, he always looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away, and those daughters only dare to look, how dare they think about it!
