A few days later, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the wedding of Princess Xixia and King Huan.

At the beginning of next month.

During this period of time, Zhong Jinxiu has been resting in the courtyard, either raising flowers, or looking at the account books, and drawing some patterns in the store by the way.

It's easy.

After King Huan's wedding, it is to send relatives.

Nian Qi'er and Xia Qianyi's marriage, I heard that Nian Qi'er has been crying recently and is unwilling to get married, but the holy order is difficult to do, and the Nian family still dare not resist the decree.

And the emperor named Nian Qi'er as the chess princess, and the Nian Nian as the marquis of a thousand households, and also forgave the sins of the young, which is an honor.

After Zhong Jinxiu heard it, he only thought it was interesting, and the Nian family was brilliant with a woman again. She was swinging in the yard, and at this moment the maids came to report that Zhong Jinling had come to Dongyuan.

Zhong Jinling came to the East Garden, and there was no major change, but when he came to Zhong Jinxiu's courtyard, he found that the flowers were full of flowers, and the small courtyard was dressed up in a trance dream.

There was a slight jealousy in my heart.

However, she remembered the purpose of her coming, restrained the jealousy in her heart, stepped forward, and said, "Eldest sister, the chess princess is married, let's go and give it away?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu looked at Zhong Jinling, she used to dress up demure and elegant, but now she has no old lady to care for her, and without his father's repeated subsidies, they are not living now, and the hairpin on their heads is only what they have worn before.

She sneered slightly in her heart:

"Sister, I'm afraid that the chess will not like me to send her back that year."

Zhong Jinling seemed to be afraid that she would not go, and hurriedly explained:

"No, she's happy, she's the one who asked me to take you this time."

"He married the prince of Western Xia, and he will be the prince and concubine in the future, so glorious, as sisters, we naturally have to send it away. If you don't go, you will be mentioned in the future, and you will be talked about. "Said that Zhong Guogong had no one in his eyes.

Zhong Jinxiu was helpless, but seeing her so active, she invited herself to go, and if she didn't go, it was difficult for her to be so positive.

"Second sister, let's prepare."

Zhong Jinling saw that she agreed, and his heart jumped slightly.

She asked:

"Well, what kind of gift do you have for my sister?"

This is the point, looking at her earnest appearance, Zhong Jinxiu smiled subtly.

At the gate of the Thousand Households Hou Mansion, guests gathered, Zhong Jinxiu and a group of juniors went to the boudoir of Nian Qi'er.

When Nian Qi'er saw her coming, in front of all the sisters, she stared at Zhong Jinxiu viciously, so as not to give face.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhong Jinxiu looked at her posture, but she didn't care.

She stepped forward and said, "I have prepared a big gift for Sister Qi'er here." As he spoke, he sent the gift over, Nian Qi'er didn't look at the gift at all, she looked a little funny, her face was flushed, like a clown.

What's more, she glared angrily, her small eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked very funny.

She deliberately ninja and didn't laugh out loud.

Nian Qi'er will open her mother's clothes, look at Zhong Jinxiu, raise her little face, and say:

"Zhong Jinxiu, why don't you wait for this princess to change her clothes."

Everyone looked at Zhong Jinxiu, Zhong Jinling was even more proud, she knew that Nian Qi'er hated her eldest sister, and watching her make a fool of herself, her heart was full of depression.

Zhong Jinxiu ignored her, but opened the gift by herself, and inside was a --- female ring.

Her voice was soft, like an elder explaining to her children on the road, and said: "I have always felt that you are a little reckless in your words and actions, and it is easy to attract hatred, so I specially gave you a book." I hope you will restrain your temperament in the future and become a wife. ”

Nian Qi'er saw the female ring, especially dazzling.

With a slap, the book had already fallen to the ground, and Nian Qi'er took a few steps forward resentfully and stepped on it fiercely.

"Zhong Jinxiu, you are presumptuous, this princess is a princess given by the emperor himself, and the emperor said that this princess has a blue heart and can be a wife."

All the women watched, and some women looked at Zhong Jinxiu with pity.

Some people wanted to step forward to persuade them, but Zhong Jinling said: "Sister Qi'er is about to get married, eldest sister, let it go." ”

In a word, no one made a sound, yes, I am going to marry to Xixia, and I am already very pitiful when I leave my hometown.

Why make it worse.

But after hearing this, Nian Qi'er felt sad in her heart, and then complained even more about Zhong Jinxiu and said: "Zhong Jinxiu, let me marry the princess of Xixia, are you the ghost behind your back?" ”

I'm going to get married, so I came to ask, don't you think it's a little late?

"Princess Qi, Prince Xia Qianyi personally chose you, and Princess Xixia is also very satisfied with you, and she asked the emperor for marriage. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard it and saw it. How can I have such a great ability to influence your marriage? You say yes, right? ”

"It's you... It must be you, it must be you who hooked up with Shen Mingze and made him propose to you instead, it must be because of you. Her expression was sad, her eyes were slightly red, and people couldn't help but feel sad, "If it weren't for you, he would have married me, and I wouldn't have married Western Xia." ”

She squatted down slightly, buried her palm-sized face in her knees, and cried, which made people listen to it.

However, Zhong Jinxiu's heart was as hard as iron, and he didn't feel anything.

Xiao Qi'er, who was also married to King Huan back then, because she was King Huan's cousin, she looked at her a few more times and took care of her everywhere, but in the end?

She mocked her: "You are the stupidest person I have ever met, the emperor doesn't like you, but you pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know." Your sister is just using you, but you let her be a baby, Zhong Jinxiu, Zhong Jinxiu, you are really a joke in this life. ”

"By the way, that girl of yours, her mouth is very hard, she doesn't want to explain that the Zhong family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and it has something to do with you, so uninteresting, I threw her into the crazy pigsty..."

......

Zhong Jinxiu thought of peaches, and her heart hurt slightly.

That stupid girl, even if she died, never betrayed her, let alone betrayed the Zhong family.

Nian Qi'er, have you ever thought about karma?

Zhong Jinling suddenly felt a chill coming, and looked up, only to find that his sister's face was like cold frost, and she was in a trance like she was about to immerse people in a cave, cold and desperate.

Soon, however, the feeling was gone.

The trance was just an illusion.

"Eldest sister, Sister Qi is sad, you can comfort him a few words, after all, it's because..."

If you want to talk and stop, it makes people think nonsense.

Some of the people who sent their relatives didn't know Zhong Jinxiu, and some had a holiday with Zhong Jinxiu.

Zhong Jinling's words made them guess that it was Zhong Jinxiu who robbed her of her marriage and forced her to go to Xixia to make peace.

Zhong Jinxiu looked at Zhong Jinling, stepped forward and asked, "After all, what?" Second sister, this marriage was begged by the princess of Xixia and given by the emperor himself, are you doubting the emperor? ”

"I didn't..."

Zhong Jinxiu's eyes moved slightly, looked at Nian Qi'er, her voice was as cold as an ice pick, and said:

"The chess princess and the pro-Xixia, the country and the people, are heroes, if the chess princess doesn't want to, you can make it clear to the saint, and the emperor will naturally not force you to go?"

But you must have begged, but no one can listen to you, and you are helpless, so you can only cry and vent.

Hum...

After hearing this, Nian Qi'er felt sad in her heart, she didn't want to marry, but her parents begged her, and said that if she was willing to marry Xia Qianyi, her brother would be able to go home, and the Nian family would definitely be brilliant in the future.

When the time comes, he will definitely be picked up, and when the cousin of King Huan is successful, he will be...

Zhong Jinxiu's voice was slightly raised, as if announcing something, and said:

"Xia Qianyi, the prince of Western Xia, has good conduct and morality, and his appearance is even better, Xu is matched with the princess of chess to be a concubine, it is a good match, and the princess of chess is too late to be happy, how can she be in a bad mood."

Everyone listened to Zhong Jinxiu's words and bowed their heads one after another.

"Yes, I thought that the men of Western Xia were all powerful barbarians, but that Xia Qianyi, not to mention politeness, also looks like Pan An, if my identity is more expensive, I will definitely let my father ask for it in person."

"You, shame or not, that's the husband of the chess princess."

"Yes, the Nian family has a princess, and the Nian family has risen with the tide, and she was directly named the Marquis of a Thousand Households, what a glory this is, as children, we should have fought for the glory of the family."

......

Zhong Jinxiu listened to everyone's awe-inspiring atmosphere, and there was no longer the feeling of grief and kinship just now.

And the atmosphere is stirred up.

Nian Qi'er also felt so, looking at Zhong Jinxiu's gaze, still glowing with coldness, but there was no hatred.

Zhong Jinxiu took two steps back slightly, letting the other nobles step forward.

"Chess princess, the two countries are seeking peace, you are righteous and friendly, we will all remember you."

Zhong Jinling was fooled by her sister like this, but she was not angry in her heart, because there was a bigger 'surprise' behind.

Zhong Jinxiu walked out of the boudoir, and happened to see King Huan and Princess Huan outside the door.

King Huan looked at Zhong Jinxiu, his face expressionless, and he was faintly annoyed.

Princess Huan secretly reminded: "Don't be so careful. ”

Zhong Jinxiu greeted the two of them, and Princess Huan stepped forward, smiling, and said: "The county lord of Jinxiu is really good-hearted, and a word will disperse this sad parting atmosphere." ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Originally, this was the case, and the courtiers didn't dare to take credit. ”

Princess Huan smiled and said: "I have just arrived, and I don't know much about the location of this capital, so I don't know if I can trouble the county lord of Jinxiu in the future, give me a guide or two?" ”

"Don't dare, if Princess Huan wants to browse the face of Beijing, you can ask King Huan to accompany her, so that Qin Se and Ming can show the heart of the two countries seeking peace."

Princess Huan snorted lightly, but she didn't care about her refusal.

Her beautiful face lifted slightly, looked behind her, and saw Zhong Jinling bowing slightly to her.

The face of the country and the city smiled more cheerfully.

She stepped forward, stood in front of her, leaned over slightly, and a strange aroma hit her, rich and tangy.

Her voice like a song came out: "Go back and tell Shen Mingze that I have prepared a big gift for him." ”

Zhong Jinxiu retreated slightly, her eyes soft and sharp.

Xia Bingyu said: "No one can get out of the palace after playing this palace." ”

Zhong Jinxiu was not afraid, but as if she hadn't heard anything, she retreated slightly and saluted King Huan and Princess Huan.

"Don't bother King Huan and Princess Huan to send off their relatives."
