Xia Jinnian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xia Chengmu, whose face was ugly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he turned to look at Ji Qiang meaningfully, waiting for her to speak.

"Niangniang misunderstood, the courtiers didn't think that there was anything excessive about the relationship between the six princes and Miss Gu, but the courtiers didn't express any opinions at the beginning." Ji Qiang lowered her eyes and said, her tone was flat, she glanced at Xia Chengmu, who had a stiff face below, and secretly laughed in her heart.

Sensing Xia Jinnian's gaze, Ji Qiang suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, "What's more, today has been greatly rewarded by His Majesty, and the courtiers really can't have any other thoughts." ”

The queen looked a little helpless, and frowned slightly, "What you said is that this palace is forcing you?" ”

Ji Qiang withdrew her hand quietly, lowered her eyes very respectfully and said, "The courtiers don't dare!" It's just that the courtiers have sworn a poisonous oath a long time ago and will not marry anyone easily. ”

After speaking, he hid his face and looked at Xia Chengmu helplessly, "Even if the courtiers and the six princes are happy, but the poisonous oath made at the beginning cannot be easily overturned, if it is punished by God, the courtiers are fine, I am afraid that the six princes will be affected......"

"How come I've never heard you talk about this?" Seeing that Ji Qiang's voice was quieter and lower, Xia Chengmu interrupted her with a frown, and there was a little dissatisfaction in her tone.

Ji Qiang's eyelashes trembled slightly, there seemed to be moisture between her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, she bit her lower lip, and looked at Xia Chengmu angrily, "How dare the courtiers talk to His Highness about this, what's the use of telling His Highness these things, it will only increase the troubles!" ”

Seeing Ji Qiang's sad face, Xia Chengmu's heart softened and softened his expression.

It seems that Ji Qiang is still happy with him, the previous indifference should just be awkward and jealous, and she thought that she had discovered her purpose, it seems that she thought too much, a daughter's family, as long as she cares a little, who wouldn't be fascinated by him?

Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Chengmu's mouth were lightly raised, and the look in his eyes was inevitable.

"Now that the mother mentions the matter of marriage, the courtiers cannot accept the decree. If the mother is angry, then punish Qiang'er! Ji Qiang said crisply, kneeling on the ground, her back straight.

The queen raised her eyebrows, groaned thoughtfully, exchanged glances with Xia Chengmu, and then smiled: "This palace knows." You little girl, you are doing so much, the ground is cold, get up quickly. ”

Ji Qiang got up at this time, secretly relieved in her heart, and heard someone ask at the banquet: "Since Miss Ji has already said this, then the king is a little curious about what the poisonous oath in your mouth is?" ”

The light tone was extremely abrupt during the banquet, Ji Qiang's heart jumped, and she cast her gaze at the person who asked the question, just in time for Xia Jin's playful eyes.

He is the only one who dares to ask such a question in this situation.

Everyone was guessing in their hearts what Ji Qiang said about the poisonous oath, but when they heard Xia Jinnian's question, they just asked the doubts in their hearts, and they all stared at Ji Qiang, waiting for an explanation.

Ji Qiang's brows furrowed slightly, but she recovered in an instant, smiled lightly, and hid her face a little shyly: "King Qi is so curious, people who don't know still think that the prince is interested in the little girl." ”

As soon as Ji Qiang's quipping words were finished, he saw Xia Chengmu's face change, looked at the lightly picked Xia Jinnian, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and then said with a smile: "What kind of joke is Qiang'er, although the imperial uncle is a place to linger in fireworks and is favored by women, but this palace has never seen the imperial uncle take a woman with him." ”

Ji Qiang looked at Xia Chengmu in surprise, covered her face and said: "What the sixth prince said is that the prince is so able to please women, I'm afraid that even this Yunjin was found at a great price, and it is really troublesome for the prince to spend so much trouble." ”

"The so-called daughter is hard to buy a beautiful woman to laugh, Miss Ji can like it." The corners of Xia Jinnian's mouth hooked slightly, and his tone was relaxed, without the slightest embarrassment.

After a conversation between the two, the eyes of everyone present widened, as if they had heard something incredible, and their eyes swirled around the two of them.

Xia Chengmu's face was ugly, not to mention how ugly it was, he clenched his fists while standing below, and the smile on his face faded.

Ji Qiang originally wanted to use Xia Jinnian's hand to stimulate Xia Chengmu, but he didn't expect him to actually pick up this topic, you must know that once you answer, you don't know what kind of rumors will be arranged in the capital tomorrow.

He didn't care, or was he completely prepared? For a while, I didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Ji Qiang's eyes were dark and uncertain, and there was still just the right smile on her face, seeing that Xia Jinnian was also smiling, the appearance of the two secretly competing with each other seemed to outsiders to be eyebrows, like glue.

"But even if it is the prince, I will not be able to obey my fate, and I swore in the past that if anyone can answer the three questions asked to me, I will willingly marry him, and grow old with him, living and dying together." Ji Qiang said it word by word.

Xia Chengmu's face sank completely, and he was on the verge of an outburst when he heard Ji Qiang say this, his eyes lit up, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.

glanced at Xia Jinnian defiantly, and then asked with some curiosity: "Qiang'er, what are the three questions you are talking about?" ”

The curvature of the corners of Ji Qiang's mouth expanded, and she stretched out her index finger and placed it in front of her lips, "This first question is a hidden poem, who can connect this poem, and the puzzle of the other two questions is after this question." ”

Xia Chengmu frowned invisibly, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and there was still a warm smile on his face, "Since Qiang'er has already said so, this palace has no objection, but I will definitely marry you." ”

Speaking of the back, his expression was full of affection, and he stepped forward to take Ji Qiang's hands and looked at her with affection.

Ji Qiang couldn't hold back the nausea in her heart, and even the smile on her face was a little tense, "Then I'll look forward to His Highness's performance." ”

This was the end of a so-called celebration feast.

When she returned to the Guogong Mansion, Ji Yuanxun called her to the study with a very cautious face, and persuaded her that her marriage should not be a child's play, "My father has been watching how the six princes treat you, if you really want me to say, the sixth prince is indeed a good candidate for a husband, I believe he will treat you well, this kind of procrastination play, can you deceive others, can you deceive the people in the royal family?" ”

"You're so reckless!" Ji Yuanxun's face was full of dissatisfaction, and his tone was full of reproach.

Ji Qiang sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that her father also wanted to find a good husband for him, and Xia Chengmu was very deep in the city, in order to get the power of the Guogong Mansion, he naturally covered himself up very well, and in his previous life, he was completely toyed with by him, and it was not uncommon for Ji Yuanxun to be blinded.
