"If you shirk it like this, you don't really plan to be a princess!"

"I am very innocent with His Royal Highness King Cheng, why did the eldest princess say this?"

In the face of Wu Man's question, Qingxi was not afraid, she promised to have a clear conscience.

"Innocence? Even if you are innocent, someone deliberately does something, you will not be able to escape, what kind of person is Wu Zhen, I believe you know very well, whether you want to cooperate with this palace or not is all up to you, you think about what to do yourself. ”

"Cooperating with different eldest princesses doesn't have much impact on Qingxi, Qingxi is not talented, I'm afraid I can't help the eldest princess."

"You mean to refuse this palace, or not, since Second Miss Fang insists on doing so, this palace is not easy to say, but the Fang family will ...... in the future Alas, Liu Fu, send a carriage to send Miss Fang Er back. ”

"Yes."

On the tenth day of the first month of October, the Empress of Chen, Zuolu Dumphua, and her beloved daughter Yelu Jiena sent an envoy to the Eagle Kingdom. Efforts have been made to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries. As the host, Wei Zong ordered his beloved daughter Wu Man to be in charge of the reception.

On this day, Fang Qingxi was ordered by the eldest princess to enter the palace to accompany the female dependents of Chen Guo, and let the official lady who was not a female official accompany her, which was the first time in the history of the Eagle Kingdom. It can be seen that the eldest princess attaches great importance to the other party, and for a while, people from all walks of life are planning again.

Fang Qingxi entered the palace accompanied by Wan Xin, and went to the imperial garden under the guidance of Liu Fu. At this time, the visiting ladies were walking around the garden accompanied by Wu Man.

Coming to everyone, Qingxi gave a salute.

"Qingxi greets the eldest princess, Queen Chen, princess."

Previously, Qingxi in the house learned from Fang Tianqi about the main owner of this visit, and with Fang Tianqi's help, she did a lot of homework.

"Qingxi is here, Queen Chen, this is the second lady of the National Teacher's Mansion, and she is also the righteous sister of the palace, Fang Qingxi."

Wu Man was very happy to see Fang Qingxi, she was willing to come to the palace to accompany Chen Guo's mother and daughter, and this righteous sister was called naturally.

Although Fang Qingxi was not satisfied with Wu Man's "righteous sister", it was not easy to say anything.

Chen Guo's costume is the most distinctive of the Eight Kingdoms, with a loose dress that does not show the waist and hangs straight to the ground, and the dress is embroidered with exquisite totems. Her hair was hidden under a gauze hat, and the earrings hung down like wicker to her chest.

The style of the dress of Empress Chen Guo and Princess Chen Guo is roughly the same, the only difference is the gauze hat on the head and the earrings on the ears, it seems that the gauze hat and earrings are a symbol of power and rank in Chen Guo.

"When I came to the country of Yiyu, I heard that the second lady of the Fang family was both talented and beautiful, and today I saw that it really deserved its reputation."

"Queen Chen is overrated, Qingxi is just a wild girl, and she doesn't have so many skills."

"Miss Fang Er, don't be modest, my mother rarely praises people on weekdays, it's your blessing that you can get her praise!"

Yelu Jiena's bold and cheerful temperament is undoubtedly the pistachio of this garden visit, and Qingxi suddenly became interested in this princess of Chen Guo.

"That's what the princess said."

"Queen Chen, this righteous sister in this palace is very restrained on weekdays, and she can't compare with Jena."

"Jena grew up with you, this little girl caused a lot of trouble for the palace in Chen Kingdom, you have to take care of her for the palace when you come here."

"As long as Empress Chen doesn't mind, the palace will naturally take care of it."

Yelujana and Wu Man have been playmates since childhood, when Wu Man was sent by Wei Zong to Chen Guo as a hostage, and she and Yelujana became very good friends. If it weren't for Yelu Jana in the Qi Yan Kingdom that day, Wu Man would not have come back alive. Wu Man promised Yelujana that even if she loses everyone in this life, she will never lose her alone.

"Mother, Sister Wu Man is still busy dealing with palace affairs every day, where can she have time to accompany me! You've made a mistake in your wishful thinking! ”

"It's okay, even if the palace can't accompany you, you can let Qingxi accompany you, in short, the palace and Queen Chen won't let you make trouble in the Eagle Country."

"I, mother......"

Yelu Jena looked at Zorlu Tannin with sincere eyes, although Zorlu Tsuna loved his daughter very much, but it was not good to connive again and again, anyway, as the next prince candidate, Yelu Jena should go through some training.

"I wonder if Second Miss Fang is willing to help this palace?"

Zolu Tinghua didn't pay attention to Yelu Jiena, but asked Fang Qingxi's opinion, this is Chen Guo's customs, and he never distinguishes between high and low. In the country of Chen, all people are created equal.

"The daughter of Chen Guo came to the country of Ying, and the young man should fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Wu Man pushed the matter to Fang Qingxi, and Fang Qingxi was not easy to refuse, not to mention that Zuo Lu Tianhua also personally asked her opinion.

"Empress Chen, it's been a while since we came out, so it's better for my son to go to the Bigui Hall to rest for a while, so that Qingxi can take Jena around."

Seeing Fang Qingxi standing on her side, Wu Man had a little more affection for her, since she wanted to keep her by her side for her own use, she should let her get acquainted with this palace.

Zolu Qinghua glanced at the decent Fang Qingxi, then at the absent-minded Yelujana, and said:

"Young people always have something to talk about, and we don't bother them. Jena, chatting with the young girl, remember not to make trouble. ”

"Yes, mother."

Seeing Wu Man and his party leave, Fang Qingxi and Yelu Jie Na walked around the garden accompanied by Liu Fu, Wan Xin and several Chen Guogong people.

By October, the garden had already passed the season of blooming, and the green leaves on the branches were still there, but the red flowers had fallen somewhere.

"Second Miss Fang, can I call you Qingxi? It's like Sister Wu Man. ”

Along the way, Yelu Jiena always felt that Fang Qingxi had something on her mind, but they didn't know each other, and she didn't know how to persuade each other.

"The princess can be called whatever she wants."

Yelujana is two years older than Qingxi, and she doesn't mind calling her by her name.

"Qingxi, are you not feeling well?"

"If you go back to the princess, you will be fine."

In the face of Yelujana's concern, Qingxi really didn't know how to answer.

"Qingxi, I've called you by your name, don't be so restrained, just call me Jena."

"Qingxi doesn't dare."

"There's nothing to dare to, the rules are all set by people, according to Chen Guozu's system, I still have to call my mother as my mother, but I'm not just calling my mother one by one. Originally, there was no empress allowed in the court, didn't the mother sit on that chair and handle government affairs for her father? ”

“……”

What Yelujana said was undeniable, but she didn't fully agree with it. That set of theories is not necessarily useful in Chen Guo, and she is a person from the Eagle Country anyway, and she must abide by the rules of the Eagle Country.

Qingxi's hesitation did not escape Yelujana's eyes, she smiled and said to Qingxi:

"Qingxi, I felt like you at first sight, and I treat you as a true friend."

A noble princess can treat her as a true friend, and Qingxi is naturally quite moved. She could see that Yelujana was not the kind of person who was false, she was very sincere.

"The princess is willing to treat Qingxi as a friend, how can Qingxi be unwilling? It's just good not to lose the rules in front of outsiders. ”

"I know this, so you can rest assured."

Yelu Jana could see that Fang Qingxi was a person who obeyed the rules, and she didn't want to embarrass others, after all, Fang Qingxi's identity was nothing in the Eagle Country, and she didn't want Fang Qingxi to be punished for not following the rules.

When Qing Xi returned to Fang Mansion from the palace, it was already evening, and before he could rest in Rong Pavilion, Qing Xi was invited to the outer courtyard by Xu Lan.

Accompanied by Wanxin, Qingxi followed Xu Lan to Qingyanju in the outer courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Fang Qingxi noticed the flowing beads of Cui Weiju. This familiar picture couldn't help but remind her of the night half a year ago, when she was also invited by Xu Lan and met Liuzhu in the courtyard. It's just that she is very different from half a year ago, and things are no longer the same.

"Second Miss is here."

Liuzhu saw that Qingxi was busy giving a salute, and Qingxi naturally noticed the nervousness flashing in Liuzhu's eyes.

"Is my sister in there?"

"Here, the master and the eldest lady are waiting for the second lady inside."

"Let's go inside."

After Liuzhu introduced Qingxi into the house, he was busy guarding the door with Wanxin.

In the house, only Fang Weizhong and Fang Zhiling were there.

As soon as Fang Zhiling saw Qingxi, the look on her face became more and more earnest.

"Qingxi, you're here."

Qing Xi just smiled at Fang Zhiling's greeting, she felt that she didn't need to say anything to Fang Zhiling now.

"Daddy."

Qingxi bowed to Fang Weizhong, who was headed, and Fang Weizhong hurriedly said:

"Sit down, Daddy has something to tell you."

Fang Weizhong motioned to Fang Zhiling to pour a cup of tea for Qingxi, Fang Zhiling handed the tea to Qingxi, and said with concern:

"It's cold, drink tea to warm up."

Qingxi pretended to calmly take the teacup from Fang Zhiling's hand, but she didn't mean to drink it for a long time.

"Is there something wrong with Daddy calling his daughter?"

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I just came back from the palace and didn't have time to take a bite."

"Zhiling, tell the kitchen to prepare a table of Qingxi's favorite meals."

"Yes, Daddy."

After receiving the order, Fang Zhiling left with a smile, even though she knew that Fang Qingxi would not accept her love, just because of the letter, but she still had to treat Qingxi well, just because it was her father's explanation.

After Fang Zhiling left, Fang Weizhong stared at Qingxi for a long time, making Qingxi uncomfortable, she didn't know why Fang Weizhong's attitude towards her changed so much today, but there must be a reason.

"Have you seen Empress Chen?"

"Yes."

"How did the eldest princess introduce you to Empress Chen?"

"The eldest princess said that her daughter was the second lady of the National Teacher's Mansion, and she also said ......"

"What else?"

"She also said that her daughter was her stepsister."

“……”

Fang Qingxi was still hesitating to tell Fang Weizhong about the eldest princess recognizing her as her sister-in-law, after several considerations, she planned to tell the truth, now she is in an embarrassing situation, and having the Fang family as a backing is also a guarantee.

"How did you answer?"

What else can my daughter say? Naturally, it was said according to the meaning of the eldest princess. ”

"It's hard for you."

Fang Weizhong is very clear about Wu Man's character, and he agrees with Qingxi's approach, in his opinion, if Qingxi does not follow Wu Man, he is afraid that Qingxi will have a much more difficult life in the future.

"If you don't know how to forbear, how can you survive in that kind of place for a long time."

"It's reassuring that you can think of it as a father."

The palace was sinister, Fang Weizhong was still worried about Qingxi, but he was much more relieved when he saw Qingxi's appearance.

"Daddy, is there anything else? If it's okay, my daughter will go back to Rongge first. ”

"Let's go back and rest, it's inevitable that you'll be busy these days, so don't delay teaching Yanfang's class."

"Daddy, please rest assured, my daughter has her own measure."

After resting in the house for a few days, Qingxi went to Jiaoyanfang to attend classes accompanied by prayer beads. These days, she lives in the house every night because of the eldest princess, and she will go back early after class every day.

The eldest princess recognized her as a righteous sister in the capital, and she was "entangled" with Wu Zhen, and she once again became a joke after dinner.

Before she could walk out of the gate of the mansion, Qingxi noticed that Yelujana was standing at the door talking to the guards, and there were two attendants beside her.

"Qingxi!"

Yelujana saw Qingxi hurriedly waving to her, and Qingxi walked quickly to her.

"Why is the princess here?"

"I'm bored staying in the courtyard, so I'm coming to you. But your guards won't let me in to look for you, so I'll have to wait here for you to come out. ”

Hearing that Yelujana was blocked by the guards, Qingxi inevitably thought about it.

Although Yelujana is a non-formalistic person, which of the attendants beside her is not shrewd? If this matter reached the ears of Empress Chen or the eldest princess, I was afraid that it would cause trouble for the Fang family.

At this time, she had to think carefully about what she could do to save the reputation of the Fang family.
