Qin Yining got up with a smile and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears of the three of them, "It's not good that everything is prepared for you?" Okay, don't cry, it's ugly to get on the sedan chair with swollen eyes. ”

Rock Candy sobbed and said, "I have ointment to reduce swelling, so I'm not afraid."

Even Xiao Congee said, "I'm not afraid." She choked up and stepped forward to hug Qin Yining, "Sister, I don't want to leave you." ”

But they all knew that there would be more opportunities for Jiyun and Bingtang to meet Qin Yining in the future, but even Xiao Congee was going back to Tianji Valley. If it is not a big deal, the chances for them to meet will be very few, and with the temperament of the people of Tianji Valley, they really will not come out and walk around at will.

Qin Yining patted her on the back, and her voice was a little choked: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to promise you to Fang Hailing, I'm afraid that I will hurt you when I asked you to help." ”

Lian Xiao Congee shook his head again and again: "If my sister hadn't saved me, I would have starved to death in the mountains sooner or later, or I would have been eaten by wild beasts." I know how good my sister is to me, and I believe that my sister will protect me. ”

Qin Yining's heart was warm, and he nodded with a smile. There are always trustworthy feelings in this world, she will not betray even Xiao Congee, and even Xiao Congee has always believed in her, which is really commendable.

Jiyun and Bingtang also gathered around, and the four of them hugged each other and cried for a long time.

If it weren't for Qin Yining's resignation, she didn't want to delay tomorrow, she still wanted to keep the three of them sleeping together in front of her.

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Yining got up and asked someone to wash and dress him. The palace wants to do a happy event, out of the cabinet is the queen's three maids to marry, the queen has already recognized the three as sisters, even the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, the palace people naturally attach great importance to it, the atmosphere in the palace is different early in the morning.

Brother Zhao and Brother Han all wore red jackets and dressed up as New Year's dolls, accompanying the bride with Sun, Ma, and Zheng.

Qin Yining went to Ci'an Palace to greet Empress Dowager Yao earlier, and Empress Dowager Yao knew that there was a happy event today, but she rolled her eyes and snorted coldly: "It's just a palace maid with a humble status, and it deserves so much attention from the queen." The queen is a noble person, she is no longer an ordinary woman in the past, and she should act in a measured manner, the palace maid is so grand to marry, and you are not afraid of making people laugh? ”

Qin Yining was too lazy to talk to the Empress Dowager Yao, so she blocked it back with just one sentence: "What the Empress Dowager said is that the daughter-in-law is just doing things according to the emperor's will. If the queen mother thinks it's inappropriate, either the daughter-in-law will go to the emperor and cancel the matter? ”

“…… You, don't take the great blessing to suppress the mourning family! Is the mourning family frightened! Don't say that Dafu is the emperor, that is, he is the Jade Emperor, and he also crawled out of the stomach of the mourning family! ”

Qin Yining became more and more impatient, "The queen mother is angry, and the daughter-in-law will go back and think about it." ”

She saluted, and walked out briskly with Shion and Xiaoxiao. The Empress Dowager Yao jumped on the spot angrily, but there was nothing to be done.

Looking for a thug? It's strange that he was willing to help her.

When Qin Yining returned to Kunning Palace, he was busy going to the side hall to talk to the brides.

The whole day was lined up with the wedding process, and the three dowries prepared by Qin Yining had also been placed in the courtyard with red silk flowers.

In the evening, the sky has darkened, but the cold wind can not blow away the enthusiasm of everyone, until the red lantern hangs high, and when the joy of urging makeup is remembered outside, Xi Mama hurriedly looked at the wedding clothes worn by the three people and put on the matching red hijab, afraid that something would go wrong, and carefully helped the three newlyweds to go out.

Qin Yining followed quickly, walking all the way back on the red carpet, and kept whispering: "...... In the future, you are all the main mothers, live your own little life, come to me if you have any difficulties, if you are idle, you can come to see me at any time, if they treat you badly, you have wronged you, you will come and tell me......"

The voice of rock candy came through the red hijab, and he was a little choked: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I will often come to see you in the future." ”

"Yes, sister. Even Xiao Congee complained about it, but his voice was trembling, "You have been nagging all day, my ears have heard calluses, and I don't want to get married." ”

Qin Yining's tears rolled in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Okay, good." I'm not going to be verbose. I'll just send it to the gate of Kunning Palace, and then you will go home separately. Your good future is ahead, and I wish you all a hundred years of good harmony with your beloved. ”

These words brought tears to the eyes of the three brides when they spoke again.

The three of them were helped onto the sedan chair by Mama Xi. Qin Yining stood aside and said no more.

The sound of blowing and blowing approached, and with the sound of firecrackers, three sedan chairs were carried out.

Kunning Palace, which had been noisy all day, suddenly quieted down.

Qin Yining stood in front of the palace gate for a long time, until he couldn't see the sedan chair before he sighed and turned back.

Without Jiyun and rock candy by her side, she was extremely uncomfortable, but she also knew that she had to get used to it slowly. Encounters between people are short-lived, but separations are long-lasting. can have such a period of love and sisterhood, and now they have their own happiness and run towards their own lives, although she is sad, she is also happy for them.

At the same time in the Imperial Garden, Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu also retired from others, walking on the quiet stone road on the winter night one after the other. The great eunuch Liu Anfu led a group of chamberlains and imperial guards, only far behind, not close.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Huzi and Tang Xiu, the two stinky boys, are going to marry their daughters-in-law, and they can't find the north when they are happy." Ah Lan, I'll find you a good girl when I go back, and your life should be decided. ”

Ji Zeyu raised his eyebrows: "The minister is afraid." You don't have to give a marriage. ”

Xiao Xiao laughed and patted Ji Zeyu on the shoulder, "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to be so restrained, let's just talk to each other." ”

Ji Zeyu smiled, but his delicate brows couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Xiao said: "I plan to turn your Liujue into a hereditary replacement, and your descendants will be the princes of Dingguo in the future." Tell me, are you going to get married as soon as possible, and if you have offspring, you can often come and play with his brothers and sisters? ”

Ji Zeyu's smile was faint, and there was no superfluous emotion on his handsome face, his eyes flashed, and he finally opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister came today to resign from you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao was immediately stunned, and listened to his footsteps: "Resign? Is there something wrong with things in the court? Or am I doing something inappropriate? Ah Lan, we brothers don't have to go around so much, you can say anything you are not satisfied with. Why did you resign? ”

"Your Majesty ......" Ji Zeyu turned around and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiao.

The long cloak of the snow fox's fur collar was loosely draped over his shoulders, revealing the snow-white collar, and when he looked up, the graceful curved neck line and Adam's apple under the collar were already in a defenseless posture.

"Your Majesty, where do I have any dissatisfaction? I was just...... I can't control my mind more and more. ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned, and he was a little confused for a while.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's expression, Ji Zeyu laughed again. He was born with the handsome and beautiful appearance that ordinary men did not have, but he rarely smiled, but today he smiled more than usual.

He took two steps forward with his hands in his hands, as if he was pondering something, and after a moment he suddenly sighed, as if something was suddenly relieved.

"How long can the best years of a person's life last? The minister spent the first half of his life working hard for this family and country. Now that the country is stable, the Tatars in the north dare not commit it again, and the southern swallows in the south also stop like quails, crushing them is just a matter of sooner or later, there is nothing I need to worry about in this country, I also want to return to the field, do some things I want to do, while I am still young. ”

"Ah Lan, don't you want to stay by my side and help me?" Xiao Xiao's tone was inevitably a little anxious, and he took one of Ji Zeyu's wrists and looked at him carefully: "People say that it is easy to create a dynasty and it is difficult to defend the country, and the difficult days are ahead. You and my brother have been fighting side by side until now, and there are so many dangers in the future, I need a trustworthy person, and among all of them, I only trust you the most. ”

"The emperor is willing to believe in the minister, that is the minister's honor. But after so many years, Chen is really tired. Ji Zeyu's voice was unsolvably low, "Now that the country is stable, the emperor's position is secure, he is accompanied by his wife and children, and there are no foreign enemies, with the ability of the emperor and his subordinates, the orderly governance of this country can only be achieved in a few years." I don't need it here anymore. ”

"But ......"

"Your Majesty, I don't want everything in the future to change beyond recognition, and I will return the emperor's favor."

Ji Zeyu respectfully saluted Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person up.

Of course he understood what Ji Zeyu was talking about. They were united with Li Qitian at the beginning, and they were sincere to each other at first, and it was common for them to save each other's lives when they fought the country, and the blood shed on the three of them was at least generally for each other.

But what happened to the three of them now? Li Qitian is being imprisoned in the basement. Ji Zeyu planned to leave the court again for something indifferent. Thinking about Qin Yining's family......

This throne is really not something that everyone wants to sit on. At least if he wasn't the emperor, Qin Huaiyuan wouldn't have tried every means to leave a way out for Qin Yining. And Ji Zeyu would not politely say to him that he wanted to resign.

Xiao Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "Ah Lan, have you really made a decision?" ”

Ji Zeyu looked at Xiao Xiao's eyes, nodded for a long time, and smiled with relief: "Yes, it's decided." ”

Everyone has their own ambitions, and they know that they can't stop it. But he also felt like he was stuck with a big stone in his heart. He patted Ji Zeyu on the shoulder, speechless.

The two walked for a while before Ji Zeyu said goodbye and left.

"Ah Lan, I will keep your official title for you. You can come back whenever you want. ”

Xiao Xiao sent Ji Zeyu to the corner gate of the Imperial Garden.

Ji Zeyu smiled and nodded. But he knew in his heart that if he left, he would never come back to be an official in this life.

He can assist the tyrant to fight for the world, but he just can't be a courtier. It's better to be more comfortable in my heart from now on.
