The news that Xia Ningxing was given to marry Lu Tingli flew all over the imperial city like wings.

Whether it is the common people or the relatives of the emperor and the country, they can't help but talk about it.

"I heard that this Xia Ningxing was born to Xia Shangshu's original wife in the countryside, although she is also a concubine, but she grew up in the mountains and wilderness, she is vulgar and weak, she can't understand all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I don't know what the second prince likes about her?"

"Who knows, but I heard that the other party is extremely beautiful, maybe I took a fancy to my face."

"Alas, this dynasty that looks at faces!"

"The second prince is the most beautiful man in the dynasty, full of economy, knowledgeable, and a country woman, it's a pity."

"Who says it isn't!"

"It's sad."

"You are sad and lamentable, you must know that this marriage was personally begged by His Majesty for marriage, and he obviously loves that country woman very much!"

"I'm afraid that the second prince has a problem with his eyes."

Compared with the common people, and for the royal family, what they analyzed was the purpose of the second prince marrying Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing has no background, he is still from the countryside.

So in the end, they unanimously came to the following conclusion - the second prince is really not interested in the throne!

Otherwise, how could he marry such a woman who would be of no help to him?

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli's marriage is scheduled for after the Cloud Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, as soon as the white belly was revealed, there were officers and soldiers in the streets and alleys of the imperial city who were busy hanging lanterns to prepare for the lantern festival at night.

At the same time, today is also the day to return home in the summer evening.

Xia Song, Father Xia and others had already stood at the door to greet them.

It's just three days, but Xia Wan has lost a whole circle, she was already slender, but now she is so thin that she is like skin and bones, and she can be blown away by the wind.

If it weren't for the maid at hand to support her, Xia Song suspected that her daughter could fall to the ground at any time.

She looked at her daughter, who was once healthy and lively, but at this moment her face was unhealthy and pale, and there was a faint death in her eyes, like a patient who didn't want to live soon.

This is clearly a lot of abuse.

Xia Song's heart was suddenly as sour as old vinegar, and tears fell.

"My son!"

She frowned, screamed in grief, and threw herself in front of Xia Wan and hugged her tightly, tears constantly falling on her neck.

How skinny.

Her hands could clearly feel the bones in her back, and the roots were distinct.

Didn't this damn Five Kings' Mansion give her daughter a full meal?

"Mother......" Xia Wan thought of the inhuman torture she had suffered in the Five Kings' Mansion these days, and tears followed, and her heart was painful and hateful.

Father Xia's heart hurt when he saw his daughter who was tortured like this, but he still had his senses, and he looked around with his head, but he didn't see any trace of the fifth prince.

"Later, tell my father, where is the fifth prince? Why didn't I come back with you? ”

Speaking of this, Xia Wan's tears welled up again: "He...... He doesn't come back with his daughter! ”

Father Xia only felt a fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, and he almost vomited blood in anger.

On such an important day when he returned to the door, the cripple didn't come with his daughter, didn't it make it clear that he humiliated his daughter and humiliated him!

He is also a scholar of the court, and he dares to belittle their family like this!

Damn, really hateful!

"Father, mother, my daughter is really hard, please help me escape from that tiger cave......"

Just as Xia Wan was about to complain, the old lady hurriedly interrupted: "Miss, let's talk about what we have to say back to the house." ”

Although these five princes are not good, but in the end, they are princes and royal people, and it would not be good if they said something wrong and then reached the ears of the five princes.

The echo of the choked up in the summer evening.

After arriving at the house, Xia Wan told his parents about the of the five princes one by one.

"Father, mother, please save your daughter, save your daughter!"

Summer evening cried bitterly and pleaded.

Father Xia and Xia Song looked sad, but the fifth prince is the emperor's son in the end, unless the emperor falls, otherwise, with the emperor's favor for him, even if he writes a bullet to impeach the other party, it will be useless.

Maybe it will aggravate the atrocities of the five princes at that time.

"Late, now that the matter is complete, you have no way to get out, listen to your father, bear with it for the time being, or you find some handles of the fifth prince, and then your father will definitely find a way to make decisions for you!" Father Xia patted her shoulder distressedly.

As long as you can grasp the handle of the other party, you don't have to worry about the other party daring to be so arrogant.

Xia Song also nodded: "Later, what your father said is right, as long as you can find the handle of the fifth prince, then your father and the eldest prince will be able to completely overthrow the fifth prince." ”

Their words made Xia Wan suddenly brighten, and she nodded her head as if she saw a life-saving light: "I will definitely try to find it." ”

"The fifth prince is the prince, we can't move for the time being, but Xia Ningxing, father, mother, how can you teach her a lesson and avenge me!"

"Don't worry about this, your father and I have already thought of an idea." A cold look flashed in Xia Song's eyes.

Let's not mention that after Xia Ningxing married the second prince, she was the second princess, and when she saw her later, she would respectfully call her the second princess's sister-in-law.

The most important thing is that the eldest prince can't be suspicious of them, get away from them, and think that they have secretly hooked up with the second prince.

In short, this Xia Ningxing must not marry Lu Tingli.

After listening to their plan, Xia Wan's eyes showed satisfaction and happiness, and she only felt that most of the evil anger in her heart was out.

As long as she succeeds, Xia Ningxing will become the laughing stock of the whole imperial city at that time, and see how she will marry the second prince!

At night, the Lantern Festival officially begins.

The Xia family chartered a luxurious big boat and sailed on the river.

also specially invited Xia Ningxing's sisters and brothers.

Xia Tuanzi couldn't help but snort coldly: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" ”

If you want to say that there are no ideas in it, who believes it?

"Sister, we can't go, they must have set a trap and are waiting for us to drill." Xia Tuanzi said that he and his sister would not be fooled.

The corners of Xia Ningxing's lips hooked slightly: "People have worked so hard to design, if we don't go, wouldn't it be a waste of kindness." ”

Seeing her smile like this, Xia Tuanzi suddenly understood.

His sister had already had a plan to deal with it.

"Then let's go, after this lantern festival, I don't know when I will be able to watch the lantern festival with my sister again." Xia Tuanzi couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that after his sister got married, he would go to Lu Tingli as a hostage and be forced to separate from his sister.

Xia Ningxing's slender fingers gently patted his shoulder,
