After the snow last night, the sky was a clean pale blue, the sun was quite good, and the earth was warm, and the snow on the branches melted and froze again, and under the sunlight, it was crystal clear and beautiful.

Qing'er leaned on the soft couch and looked at the travelogue in her hand, chuckling from time to time, bathed in the sun, her skin was like congealed fat, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her beauty was suffocating.

King Jin came back from boxing, and the goal was such a haunting appearance.

For the state banquet in the north, hundreds of civil and military officials will enter the palace in the afternoon, and the king of Jin, as the prince of other countries, can go over later. Qing'er didn't like to be restrained, and that kind of banquet was naturally a hierarchical void and grievance.

After King Jin freshened up, he sat cross-legged on top of the soft collapse and held her in his arms, "The crown prince is ordered by his father to take us back." ”

The corners of Qing'er's mouth hooked slightly, "We have our own feet, so we will naturally go back when we want to go back. ”

He dotingly tapped her nose, put his chin on her shoulder, and his warm eyes sprinkled on their faces through the propped window, warm and warm: "The marriage of the two countries is coming for the princess." ”

"When will they arrive?"

"Before the state banquet, the queen mother let the magpie also come, this time it was quite unexpected, King Li also rushed to come, but was politely rejected by the queen mother, the north is a treasure land, the princes of the Mo country are rushing to come, the emperor of the north country knows, it must be extremely happy."

The eighth princess let people guard the palace gate early in the morning, and when she learned the news that the prince of the Hou Mansion had entered the palace, she asked her to pass it on immediately.

The concubine was dressed in a plain brocade cotton robe, with exquisite patterns and high-quality fabrics, simply curled her hair, painted delicate light makeup, and lay on the chaise longue with a sad face, fiddling with the jewelry box in her hand boredly.

The Ten Princes sat on the carpet and played, not paying attention to the movements of the concubine, the eighth princess was dressed in exquisite costumes, a set of ruby heads made of pure gold set off her delicate face, delicate powder, and when she walked, the bells on her feet made a pleasant sound.

"Mother, my daughter greets you."

"My daughter's family should have a look, this kind of dress can show the royal prestige of my northern country, the prince of Mexico is already on the way here, no accident, the state banquet will come, the mother hopes you can seize the opportunity." The concubine said to herself.

The eighth princess's bright eyes were mixed with a hint of cruelty, no matter when and where, the mother concubine would put her own interests first, for her and for her younger brother. It seems that in her eyes, they, as children, are her weapons to control power.

"Hou Guofu is relying on the queen to stand above the court, looking at the appearance of the Hou Ye, that is, a vicious dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy under the wings of the queen."

"No matter how high the prince is, that is, the son inherits his father's business and becomes the next generation of marquis. Presumably you have also received the news, the outer room of the Hou Ye is about to move, and wants to enter her son into the Hou Mansion and replace Zhu Rancheng, although it is a fool's dream, it is enough to see the black smoke and miasma in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, you are the mother who grew up in the palm of your hand, how can you let you suffer that idleness. ”

The eighth princess sneered in her heart, her mother, how could she not know, her heart and mouth are different, what she said is wild, what she thinks about is how to use you thoroughly, so that she can feel that she has made the best use of everything, and she has a sense of achievement, but unfortunately, she is no longer a wise age, and she will never make the knife in her hand.

Splendid Palace, orange-yellow glazed tiles, red palace walls, white jade railings, turquoise ice, and proud plum blossoms, set off each other, and are extraordinarily rich.

The seventh princess was dressed in a red princess dress, even the rouge and blush were selected red, and her already fair-skinned decoration became more and more beautiful, she put on the veil and got up slowly, the old lady did not twist lightly: "Princess, let's take off the veil today." ”

"No need, I have my own idea, has Princess Jin set off?"

"Before he got up, King Jin has always been free and loose, and the emperor has passed the word, so there is no need to restrain them, let them feel free. But the War King has already left, and it should be time for the banquet at this time. The prince of Mexico will also come as scheduled, but the princess, the queen mother asked the old slave to tell you again and again, the eighth princess is scheming, you have to pay more attention. ”

The old lady had a headache when she thought of the difficult eighth princess, but even if she served the queen, the minions did not dare to provoke, and she must not exceed her authority to meddle in the miscellaneous affairs between the princesses.

King Jin was about to change his clothes, Qing'er took out a black robe from the wardrobe, embroidered a giant eagle with wings spread and soaring with gold thread, eagle eyes were sharp, and the feathers of the wings were embroidered on the clothes with very rare reliefs, and the whole eagle was full of three-dimensionality. Colorful Chinese

There was a surprise in his eyes: "You sewed it with your own hands." ”

"Well, when I was in Murong Mansion, I liked to read books, rarely touched female red, married into the Jin Palace, in order to pass the time, I began to learn embroidery, hard work, so far, this is just this finished product, you look at it, you like to wear it, if you feel bad, I will put it away."

He took the clothes and put them on his body, "The lady is so attentive, the husband naturally likes it, where is there any dislike, just don't hurt the lady's eyes." ”

Qing'er got the buckles on his collar one by one, and he happily watched her carefully help him tie it little by little, reaching out to wrap his arms around her slender waist and pulling him into his arms.

A magnetic voice sounded in her ears: "What can I do, I can have you by my side in this life, lady, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, we will never leave?" ”

She nodded silently, but did not say anything.

In the plum forest, the plum blossoms face the cold wind and bloom delicate stamens, which are more proud and pure. The ladies and girls of each province were invited to walk in the plum forest with petals flying in the sky, which was really beautiful.

The men are all accompanying the emperor in the palace, and most of the sons of each province will be tested by the emperor to teach their homework. At this time, if you can let the emperor praise a few words, it will really be a supreme glory that money can't exchange.

For this reason, the princes of various provinces have long been eager to try, for this insignificant time of less than a cup of tea, it is a full half a year of preparation, this time, their hearts are gearing up, waiting for the emperor's question.

The eighth princess sat at the stone table outside the merlin, and the palace maids brought the refreshments prepared by the imperial dining room, because the weather was cold, the temperature dropped quickly, and the bottom of the teapot was properly insulated.

Qing'er had to admire the wisdom of the old man, it was not easy to think of such a thing without a thermos flask.

King Jin stuffed the hand stove to her, touched her slightly cold little hand, wrapped it with his big hand, for fear that a trace of cold air would leak in through his fingers, he actually pulled down the wool sleeves on his hands, and put his four hands together, it was really warm.

King Jin knew that there were men and women here, so he wanted to avoid suspicion. He looked at Qing'er worriedly, the eighth princess was full of selfishness, she would never marry to the Mexican country, she must not miss such a great opportunity as the state banquet, the seventh princess and a certain prince of the Mexican country have a private gift, then she can marry the person of her heart steadily. It doesn't matter who the seventh princess's plan is, it doesn't matter, he won't be at the mercy of others, I'm afraid that it will affect Qing'er, the two princesses of the northern country are fighting, who loses and who wins, he doesn't care, Qing'er and the seventh princess are friends, if the seventh princess is damaged, Qing'er will definitely help.

He thought about how to keep the danger out of the way without hurting his lady, he tightened Qing'er's fox fur and whispered in her ear: "Dark and dark are nearby, if there is something inappropriate, let them do it, no matter how bad it is, you must not act recklessly and hurt yourself." ”

The seventh princess watched King Jin walk away, and then slowly walked out of the plum forest, the eighth princess carefully looked at the service of the two, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously: "Seventh sister, how can you comb the same bun as Princess Jin, you are still in the boudoir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, come here..."

The eighth princess wanted to order the seventh princess to re-hair, but the seventh princess had already pulled Princess Jin away, and when she left, she lost a sentence: "My matter is not my sister's turn to question, pay attention to your identity." ”

What she hates the most in her life is that others mention her identity, she is a high-ranking royal princess, although she is a concubine, she is also a noble girl in the eyes of civil and military officials, and those ladies can't envy her noble status, but in the eyes of the seventh princess, she is like a clown who jumps off the beam.

In the main hall, it was crowded with people and lively. The sons and brothers of all the provinces gathered here, and the ministers gathered around the emperor to discuss elegant things such as poetry and writing.

Duan Yicheng, the chief manager of the emperor's side, hurriedly came in and replied, saying that the prince of the Mexican Kingdom had arrived, and he was coming here at this time.

The emperor's eyes were on the body of the war king, "Since it is the prince of the Mo Kingdom who has arrived, the Hou Ye and the war king will go together to greet him, which can be regarded as a welcome on behalf of me." The two of them gave up and turned to leave.

King Jin has always been lazy, and it is normal that he has not arrived at this time. The emperor didn't care, Zhu Rancheng hid in the corner, not conspicuous, but he also felt that there was always a beam of eyes staring at him all the time.

Zhu Ranqing was relatively relaxed, "Brother, my father is really, why did you let that person follow you, we are the sons of the Hou Mansion, he, the son of the outer room, is so thick-skinned." ”

Zhu Rancheng looked at Zhu Ranhong, who was greeting people not far away, and sneered in his heart, until today, he woke up to the idea that his father really had the idea of replacing him. Mother has paid so much for the Hou Mansion over the years, my father has cherished it, such a man is not worthy of his mother, but he is his biological father, he is as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

A gust of cold wind blew, lifting the tent man next to the screen, Qing'er looked sideways slightly, just in time to see the prince and his party walking towards the main hall under the guidance of the war king, a familiar figure also came into view, she commanded the palace maid next to her a few words, and the palace maid nodded and went out.
