Outside the house, Ji Qiang looked at the lights in the distance, her mouth squirmed slightly, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she was silent.

There was a creak, and the door opened.

The crown princess and the crown prince stood side by side, and she had already informed the people around her of everything.

"Thank you!" The prince was about to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by Xia Jingnian, "No need. ”

"We deserve it." Ji Qiang agreed, for her, she couldn't see death without help, besides, the two of them had also helped her.

It's just that this is not the place to talk after all, the four of them entered the house and closed the door.

After chatting for a while, Ji Qiang took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and said seriously: "If the two of you are in trouble, you can go to me." ”

"Okay." The two did not refuse.

Late at night, Xia Jingnian left with Ji Qiang.

After some time, the news of the prince's self-spillover in the temple was transmitted back to the palace and the world.

The emperor was taking a walk in the imperial garden, and suddenly heard the news, and his face was stunned.

The son he had cultivated for so many years passed away, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Your Majesty." The big eunuch beside him suddenly spoke, disrupting his thoughts.

"Let's go." The emperor sighed, his tone tired.

The great eunuch followed him and caught a chance glimpse of the white hair on the top of his head. He bowed his head, pretending not to know.

Very few people know that the crown prince and the crown princess are not dead, but hidden.

Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the defeat of the prince has come to an end.

It's just that because of this incident, the queen mother was deposed, the virtuous concubine was the largest, and the emperor no longer had a successor, and he was worried that there would be another prince rebellion.

It's just that, after all, some people don't like it.

In a restaurant, Xia Yu was drinking the red of her daughter in front of her, and there was gentle music outside.

The bead chain was raised, and then it fell, and a middle-aged man walked in front of Xia Yu with a respectful attitude: "See the third prince." ”

Xia Yu hurriedly got up, and he made a "please" gesture: "General Li, please take a seat." ”

General Li didn't shirk either, he sat in front of Xia Yu: "The third prince is not in the mansion to ask for Buddha, why did you ask me to come here?" ”

Xia Yu poured him a glass of wine and said casually: "I heard that the general likes to listen to music, and there is a new girl in Zuixianglou, and the song is played very well, so I invited the general to listen to it." ”

Although General Li is a rough man, he is not a fool, that kind of thing happened a few days ago, and the third prince has called himself now, there is no reason why there is a ghost.

He laughed, but didn't take the glass of wine: "Just listening to music, no other purpose?" ”

"Of course." Xia Yu handed the wine glass forward a little more, smiling with a smile.

"Then thank you to the third prince." Without further refusal, General Li drank it all, showing his heroic style.

Xia Yu saw that he had finally drunk it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Haha, the general has another drink?" ”

"Good!" General Lee responded.

In another place, Xia Chengmu and Shangshu of the Criminal Department were sitting together, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

Another day passed, Ji Qiang and Xi'er were playing chess in the house, and the housekeeper suddenly came over: "There is a letter from the palace, saying that there will be a dinner tomorrow night and invite you to go." ”

The chess pieces fell, Ji Qiang raised his eyes and glanced at him, his face was indifferent: "Is King Qi going?" ”

The butler replied respectfully: "You should go, I saw someone going to the Qi Palace." ”

"Got it, let's go down." Ji Qiang was still thinking about where to go next, with a solemn expression. Single

"I won, hehe." Xi'er finished having a son, and suddenly she was very happy.

"No, no, don't count, one more game." Ji Qiang pretended to be angry and messed up the chess pieces, muttering in her mouth.

"Princess, you're a fool." The corners of Xi'er's mouth twitched.

Ji Qiang ignored her and rearranged the chess pieces.

The next day, the banquet was about to start, and Ji Qiang dressed up, attracting praise from everyone: "Princess, you are so beautiful today, you will definitely be glamorous." ”

Xu had heard too much of this, but she didn't feel anything.

When she came to the princess's mansion, she was just about to get into the carriage, when someone suddenly called out to her: "Princess, our prince is waiting for you." ”

Ji Qiang heard the sound and looked at it, and found that it was Fang Ping, and after a little confusion, she talked to her family, and then got into Xia Jingnian's carriage.

Xia Jingnian raised his eyebrows, happy in his heart, but his face was disgusted: "I didn't let you in." ”

"Really?" Ji Qiang blinked, then lifted her dress and made a gesture to get off the carriage, "Then I'll go down." ”

"Don't." Xia Jingnian grabbed her in time, with a gentle face.

Ji Qiang snorted coldly, but stopped, she sat beside him obediently, with an arrogant face.

While the two were fighting, the carriage had already come to the outside of the palace wall, and since the carriage could not enter, the two had to get off.

The soldier glanced at the two men and let them in.

In the distance, there was also a person in front of him, he was dressed in a light blue Yashi robe, it should be Xia Chengmu.

As if thinking of something, Ji Qiang frowned, and her face became serious: "You say, why did the emperor suddenly hold a palace banquet?" ”

Xia Jingnian turned sideways and said softly: "I don't know, I don't want to know." ”

Ji Qiang was a little dissatisfied with his reaction, but he didn't react, after all, this was in the palace, and everything he did had to be paid attention to.

In just a moment, the two of them were led by the palace maid to the place where the banquet was held, and they were seated, and there was a long corridor between them.

A voice came from the front: "Princess Xiaoyang! ”

It's Xia Chengmu! Ji Qiang's soft face instantly turned cold. How is it him again.

She really didn't want to pay attention to him, but his identity was there, there were many people around, and there were still some etiquettes.

"The Six Princes." She saluted him and behaved in a general manner.

Xia Yucheng still wanted to speak, but remembering the music of the banquet, he was sitting on his lap, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble.

After a pillar of incense, the banquet began, and the emperor sat in the main hall and said some painless words, but everyone did not dare to wander, for fear of being discovered.

"Let's get started." He waved his dragon robe, his voice full of majesty.

Halfway through the banquet, Xia Jingnian suddenly got up, he knelt down in front of the hall, and his voice was powerful: "Your Majesty, your son has something to ask for." ”

A glint flashed in the emperor's eyes: "What's the matter?" Speaking of which. ”

Xia Jingnian straightened his spine, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The minister wants His Majesty to marry me and Princess Xiaoyang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became extremely quiet.

The emperor didn't answer directly, he looked at the gorgeous woman beside him, and asked aloud: "Concubine Xian, what do you think?" ”

Concubine Xian glanced at Xia Jingnian, who was kneeling below, and said in a gentle tone: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine feels that it is impossible." ”

"Really?" The emperor didn't ask the reason, he repeated these two words several times, and he couldn't see the joy, anger and sorrow.

An Nan on the side panicked, and she also got up, wanting to prevent the emperor from giving marriage. Because she is the princess of Luohui Kingdom, the matter of the prince's mansion did not anger her.

No matter what, she will not let Ji Qiang marry Xia Jingnian, he can only be her own.
