"Are you going to pay for a house for your family?" Xiao Xiao kicked off his boots and sat on the warm kang, and once again brought Qin Yining in front of him, and circled her like a soft big doll, "But your family may not accept your affection, and your family is not separated, right?" ”

Qin Yining leaned comfortably on the chest of the owl, looked at the intricate magpie carvings on the mahogany cabinet, and said in a lazy voice: "It is true that there is no separation, but I can't write two Qin characters in one stroke." I bought the house for my father. Although my father's whereabouts are unknown now, I believe that with his wisdom, he will be able to turn evil into good fortune, and this son has not yet returned, and he must have been stumped by something. ”

"You're right, although my people didn't find out the whereabouts of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they didn't find any bad news. With my father-in-law's mind, they must be safe and sound. "The way of the resolute one.

Qin Yining's face burned red, he twisted his body and moved out of his embrace, and said angrily: "What father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Who said they were going to marry you again. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and pulled her back into his arms: "It is rumored that I am a hero and short of breath outside, and I have planted it on your little woman." If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Besides, my sister Yi is smart and filial, she protected the old people in the house today, and bought a house for her parents when she turned back, such a good daughter-in-law, I can't find it with a lantern, and I can't meet this store again after this village. ”

"Flim Flam." Qin Yining snorted, but his heart was extremely sweet, he thought about it, and said: "But I can't do this directly, I can't let the old lady know that I bought the house, otherwise there will be more troubles in the future, I can find a reliable person, put the name on this person, and then make a deal with my father on the surface, I just hide in the shadows, and the wealth will not be exposed."

"That's smart." Xiao Xiao kissed her cheek, "Before I said it, you already figured it out." In this way, don't worry about buying a house, I will secretly order people to pay attention, but every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and your family has no foundation here, so it is impossible to buy one that is as big as it used to be. ”

"It doesn't have to be as big as the original house, the normal two-entry yard is fine, and the important thing is that the location is better. Now I don't have that many people in my family, and I don't know what the future will be, and there is no need to tie the money to the property, and when it is time to use it, I will not be able to draw out the money, maybe in the future my father will have other arrangements. ”

"Hmm. I'll let people pay attention to it later. Xiao Xiao touched her smooth cheek and said with a smile, "Although your people haven't come to the capital yet, but I am here, what do you want to do, just tell me if it's inconvenient for you, and I can help you do it." ”

"I'm not going to be polite to you."

Xiao Xiao kissed her lovingly, and then said, "I also made an appointment with Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie to discuss the matter, and left." ”

"Hmm." They didn't get married, and they sat down for a while to look at her, and they didn't know how many flowers were going to come out outside, even if she had already had the reputation of being "robbed", her reputation would have been ruined a long time ago, but the people who served around her knew how long she stayed every time, and Qin Yining didn't want to stay with him much in the end

Qin Yining asked Xianyun to learn about the wine soup to give to Xiao Xiao to eat, and sent him to the porch before returning to the house.

Reluctantly, he left the Snow Garden step by step, and when the door of the Snow Garden was closed behind him, he sorted out his mood and walked quickly to the study.

Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue saluted the owl, and Xie Yue presented a hairpin with both hands.

Xiao Xiao smelled the rich rouge fragrance, frowned and said, "Who sent it?" ”

"Back to the prince, it was sent from the palace." The smile on Xie Yue's face was as usual, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to hide a hint of ridicule.

Xiao Xiao was very unhappy in his heart, took the post and glanced at it twice, threw it away angrily, and fell to the ground.

"I am embarrassed to say that she is a woman from a heavenly family, and she invited a famous teacher and a grandmother to teach, and I don't know which dog she has learned."

Xu Weizhi picked up the post, looked at it, and handed it to Xie Yue.

After Xie Yue saw it, he put it back to Fang Ji, and couldn't help but quip: "It's not that the prince is too charming, who can blame him?" ”

Xiao Xiao was said by Xie Yue to be angry and funny, "That is, the stinky problem that is habitually cultivated, what you want must be obtained?" She had a smooth journey! My sister Yi'er is also a young lady, and she is not as frivolous as she is. ”

Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Xie Yue said: "The prince is now removing Wushan, not the clouds. However, Miss Qin is indeed a good girl, and she deserves such praise from the prince. ”

Xu Weizhi said: "But what the saint values is probably the character of the eldest princess of Anyang." She has both the determination to achieve your ambition and the audacity to do something deviant. If this continues, the relationship between you and the Marquis of Dingbei may not be repaired. ”

"Sister Yi'er just said the same thing. The only thing I can do is to make my attitude clear and let Dingbei Hou see that I have no thoughts about Anyang. ”

"Then tomorrow's banquet, the prince won't go?" Li Helan invited Xiao Xiao Restaurant to a banquet in the post.

Xiao Xiao said: "Not only do you not go, but you also have to refuse sternly." Mr. Xu, I asked you to ghostwrite, so I said that I was unwell and wanted to recuperate in the house, and I also asked the eldest princess to pay more attention, if it is cold today, it is really better to go out less. ”

"Yes." Xu Weizhi stood up and went to the table to polish ink and write a reply.

Xiao Xiao arranged for Xie Yue to secretly find a suitable house, and when he found it, he would come and tell him.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, when Li Helan was having breakfast with the Queen Mother, she received a reply from the palace people.

Li Helan happily put down the ivory basket, opened the reply with a smile, and when she saw the words on it clearly, her smile froze, and after reading it carefully, Li Helan angrily kicked over the embroidery pier next to her on the spot.

"Lan'er, what's wrong? Whoever bullied you, you tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will definitely call the shots for you. ”

The Queen Mother saw her beloved little daughter so angry, and pulled her into her arms and coaxed her heart.

Li Helan wiped her tears aggrievedly: "Xiao Zhixi refused to go to the banquet, the content was extremely perfunctory, and the most important thing was that he even ordered someone to write a reply, and his daughter recognized it, this is definitely not his word!" He is stingy with even a word for his daughter, this is simply contempt for his daughter! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she asked in detail. After listening to Li Helan's story, she finally blackened her face.

"Lan'er, why did you take the initiative to post to Xiao Zhixi? You must know that you are now an engaged person, and your future colt is the Marquis of Dingbei, even if you are a princess, your future life will be tied to the Marquis of Dingbei, what will you do with the next post of the surname? Aren't you afraid of misunderstanding? ”

"Misunderstanding? It's not a misunderstanding at all! I just like Xiao Zhixi, everyone in the world knows it, so what? The royal brother insisted that I marry Ji Lan, but I don't like Ji Lan's temperament at all, and it is impossible to get along with him! Brother Huang is now the emperor, so he doesn't care about me! ”

Li Helan sobbed aggrievedly, hugged the queen mother's arm and wept, and the tears fell on the back of the queen mother's hand.

The Queen Mother felt sorry for her little daughter in the end. It's just that she also knows that since the emperor has made a clear decree and announced it to the world, this family affair cannot be changed.

Besides, the emperor also talked to her about Anyang's relationship with the Marquis of Dingbei, and she also thought that young man was good.

It was the Queen Mother who lowered her face and reprimanded: "Shut up, it's all because the mourning family spoils you, and you have learned the rules for so many years, why don't you understand the words of the matchmaker in the marriage event?" ”

"The Queen Mother! Why don't you think about your daughter at all? If it weren't for the fact that you often said that I and Xiao Zhixi were a natural pair, and said that I would marry Xiao Zhixi as my wife when I grew up in the future. Can I have a special mind for him? This concept was instilled in me by you, and I took it seriously, and I have been thinking about him in my heart, thinking about marrying him when I grow up, but now? You have rejected the past with a single word, and you have laid the blame for everything on me. What am I innocent of! ”

Li Helan's resentful words came from the bottom of her heart, she had been holding back for a long time, she dared to cry in front of her mother, she was not a stupid person after all, although she didn't know what the imperial brother was going to do, but Li Helan understood that her family affairs were related to the major affairs of the court and politics, and they must not be able to change.

The more she knew that the status quo could not be changed by her wishes, the more anxious and unconvinced she became.

Xiao Xiao refused to go to the appointment, and asked others to reply with a letter that showed concern for her body, but was actually a reminder to her to go out and walk around, which really hurt her heart and her self-esteem.

Thinking that there might be no chance for him in this life, Li Helan simply lay in the arms of the Queen Mother and cried.

"Huh? What's going on? At this moment, Li Qitian's voice suddenly came from the outer hall.

Li Helan's crying stopped abruptly, and she even hiccuped because she was too nervous.

"The Emperor is here." The Queen Mother glared at Li Helan, who was still crying, and turned to Li Qitian with a smile and said, "Have you ever had breakfast?" ”

Li Qitian stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "I have already used it, and now the ministers are resting, and I want to take advantage of the time to come to the Queen Mother to have a look." Turning to Li Helan again, "Why is Lan'er crying so sadly?" Who bullied you? ”

Li Helan wanted to say in her heart, "It's you who bullied me", but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Qitian, so she only shook her head.

Li Qitian saw the reply out of the corner of his eye, frowned, and said, "Who gave you this letter?" ”

Li Helan almost jumped up in shock, and hurriedly went to collect the letter in her arms, "No one, the girl's house is written for fun, does the imperial brother also want to ask about the content?" ”

Li Qitian's inquiring eyes swept over the letter, and then looked at Li Helan with a nervous face, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, but if someone bullies you, you must tell me, you remember, you are my own sister, and I will protect you no matter what happens, understand?" ”
