Although there was no precedent for the Great Zhou Kingdom to have a princess and a relative, and the emperor also rejected the condition of allowing Song Xingchen, who already had a marriage contract, to make a concord, but the official's daughter and proximity were feasible.

Marriage seems to be an unavoidable rule throughout the ages, but there are few unsatisfactory endings of distant marriage, so in most cases, the emperors of the Great Zhou Kingdom will not do this, so as not to chill the hearts of the courtiers.

But this time, the repeated marriage requests of the Western Zhou Kingdom were rejected, and the emperor wanted to choose an official daughter as the princess, but the emperor could not refuse again.

Yes, in the name of the queen, I made a post, inviting a woman of appropriate age who did not have a marriage contract among the nobles in the capital to enter the palace, and the officials knew their intentions and could not refuse.

The envoys of the big banquet are naturally what the emperor and hundreds of officials have to do, and the queen is just a foil, and these official ladies want to add color to the banquet, and talent demonstrations are indispensable.

"It's really infuriating, she Song Xingchen is just a wild girl in the countryside, covered in copper but has become a hero, and now she doesn't want a man, but let us be selected, can't we be compared to a village girl after these famous families?" On the way to the main hall to perform, an official girl complained unconvinced.

"Alas! Who told us not to make money, otherwise we would have the identity of a county lord, and maybe we wouldn't be used for this. Someone agreed.

"Don't talk about it, this is the palace, aren't you afraid of being questioned?" A timid girl tugged at the sleeves of their coats and motioned for them not to talk nonsense.

Zhou Jin, who was originally going outside to blow the wind, listened to the words of these people.

"Ziling, the one wearing pink clothes is the daughter of Shen Ge's hometown, right? Does the queen mother like her? Zhou Jin frowned and asked.

"Yes." Ziling replied: "The queen has a lot of impressions of Miss Shen, I heard that this Miss Shen writes a good hand, and she is a filial daughter. ”

"Write down all these people, and go back and remind me to tell my mother that this kind of woman with small measurements is not worthy of my brother." Zhou Jin was disappointed, so he didn't want to admire the moon here, "Let's go back." ”

"Yes." Ziling helped Zhou Jin and turned around to leave.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Weichen An Xuyan has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." An Xu saluted and said gently.

"Don't you know that this is the only way for female dependents? I also asked Lord An to rest elsewhere, so as not to ruin the reputation of a certain young lady, not everyone wants to be a steproom. Zhou Jin glanced at An Xuyan with an unswerving face, and then walked away.

An Xuyan said yes, but a gloomy color flashed under his lowered eyes.

"Anlang." Just as An Xuyan was about to leave, a delicate voice sounded, but it was wearing the clothes of a concubine, but it didn't look high.

"Hui'er, I received your message just now, but is there a big deal?" An Xuyan's body flashed, and he pulled the chess concubine to hide in the rockery.

The chess concubine smiled shyly, "I have been in the palace for several months, I have never seen An Lang, and I learned that An Lang is in trouble, but Hui'er can't share her worries for An Lang, so I want to meet An Lang, so I can feel at ease." ”

An Xuyan looked up, a look of boredom appeared in his eyes, but his tone was extremely gentle: "You are still in a worrying situation in the palace, how can I allow myself to have trouble?" Hui'er, it's all my incompetence that didn't stop you from entering the palace, but don't worry, sooner or later, I will give you happiness openly and make you the most noble woman in the world. ”

"Anlang, I knew that you would not forget the oath between us, and I would wait for that day to come." The chess concubine was moved, and lay on An Xuyan's chest, with a happy face.

An Xuyan resisted the urge to push away the chess concubine, and tried her best to compress her breathing so as not to be smoked by the spices on her body.

Just as An Xuyan was about to say that he was leaving, the chess concubine suddenly said: "By the way, there is something I don't know if it's important, I just happened to talk to you when I saw An Lang." ”

An Xuyan couldn't let the chess concubine shut up, but he still nodded and said, "Let's hear it, maybe it may or may not be useful." ”

"A few days ago, when he was sleeping, the emperor suddenly had a heart attack and swept away all the people in the palace, but he was not allowed to pass on the imperial doctor. I felt weird, so I secretly looked at it for a while, and saw that the emperor took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, and then poured a drop into the teacup, and recovered quickly after taking it. I wanted to test it, but the emperor showed his murderous intent, so I didn't dare to ask what was in the porcelain vase, nor did I dare to ask how serious the emperor's heart disease was. The chess concubine was a little afraid.

"Hui'er, you have made a great contribution this time." An Xuyan suddenly bowed his head, dropped a kiss on the forehead of the chess concubine, and left like a dragonfly, not giving the chess concubine a chance to stick to him.

Although she was a little disappointed, the chess concubine still smiled coquettishly: "Really? I thought I wasn't favored, and I couldn't help you. Although serving an old man is disgusting, he may be doing An Lang a favor, and I will definitely admonish myself to endure it. ”

"I've wronged my Hui'er." An Xuyan raised his hand and stroked the cheek of the chess concubine, his face was full of pain, "Hui'er, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, it is really not the place to speak, for the sake of a longer future, we had better not meet easily, I don't want you to be in danger." As you know, I'm not strong enough to take you away and wait for me. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The chess concubine said with tears in her eyes.

hugged the chess concubine into his arms again, An Xuyan's face changed a few times, but when he finally said goodbye to the chess concubine, he was still the lover who was as deep as the sea, and he couldn't see that he had other things in his heart.

An Xu Yan returned to the banquet, Zhou Ding had already chosen with his relatives, it didn't matter who he chose, the important thing was not to be slapped in the face again and again.

Therefore, the chosen prime minister's granddaughter was grateful with tears on her face, but she couldn't compete with fate.

Perhaps it was the dragon's heart that was happy, and the emperor pointed out a few family affairs on the spot, especially arranging an excellent marriage for the prime minister's other granddaughter, which was counted as a kind of compensation.

After the banquet, Zhou Jin asked people to hand Song Yang a note, and Song Yang only opened it after getting into the carriage, but he only smiled and said nothing.

Half a month passed, and Yin Ye, who was requisitioned by Song Xingchen, came to the Song Mansion with a stubble on his face and informed Song Xingchen of the results of his investigation.

"Sister-in-law, your brother-in-law and I will be the groom's official immediately, although I don't have to handle it myself, but after all, I still have to be handsome when I get married, right? If you enslave me like this, aren't you afraid that your eldest sister will be distressed? Yin Ye complained.

"At most, I won't stumble on you in the future, thank you." Song Xingchen picked up the two rubbed letters, and said insincerely: "Our family Yelang is about to become a groom official, and he is not busy every day and can't see people, and I haven't seen him so embarrassed to your future eldest brother-in-law." If you want me to say, this is the gap between people, some people are so handsome that others are ashamed of themselves, the future eldest brother-in-law, you have no hope in this life, remember to discuss it with your father and mother in the next life, and live in envy, jealousy and hatred. ”

"Sister-in-law, are you poking my heart? It's too unkind. Yin Ye had a sad look on his face.

The matter of Yin Jiabao has been resolved, Yin Ye no longer has to shoulder the responsibility, and naturally exposes his true nature, no longer the old appearance he used to pretend to be old all day long, but he is somewhat similar to Zhou Anxu, but he is more calm and reliable than Zhou Anxu.

Glancing at Yin Ye, Song Xingchen pointed to the door and said, "Remember to go through the back door, your sloppy appearance made my eldest sister see it, maybe she will regret her marriage, who made my eldest sister a beautiful embryo." ”

Originally, he planned to meet Song Yueya and tell his heart, but when he heard Song Xingchen's words, Yin Ye really didn't dare to meet anyone, and quietly slipped away through the back door.

"An family, this is your own death, if you don't want to get rid of you, God can't look at it." Song Xingchen put away the two letters, planning to give them to them when Song Yang or Song Mu returned.

Although it is only a rubbing, in the hands of Zhou Feng, it is one of the evidence that can be used to settle down the lifeline.

As for when Zhou Feng and they will make a move, this is not within the scope of Song Xingchen's concern.

In the An family's study, An Xuyan was sorting out the latest information, and he had discovered nothing more than Song Xingchen's anomaly.

To be precise, the people related to Song Xingchen miraculously escaped death because of her, and Shen Yi's reputation as a divine doctor was also spread after he met Song Xingchen.

"Give me a thorough investigation, find out what treasure Song Xingchen has, who else has that kind of thing in his hand besides the emperor." An Xuyan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Plague, war, antidote, healing...... If everything in a sect is related to the divine medicine, then he must get his hands on the Anxu feast.

Power can be contested, but the magic medicine that can save life is not so easy to obtain.

"Master, Zhou Ding ordered someone to send a letter, wanting to meet with the master." After the butler knocked on the door, he lowered his head and came in to report, and by looking at the pace, he knew that he must be a master.

"Is he afraid that no one will find out?" An Xuyan's face turned cold, "This idiot, this is the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Kingdom, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not one acre and three points of land in his Western Zhou Kingdom." ”

The butler was not afraid of An Xuyan's anger, and continued: "The messenger said that Zhou Ding must meet with his master before sunset tomorrow, otherwise he will come to visit in a grand manner. ”

"Bastard!" An Xuyan shouted angrily, waved his hand to let the secret guard retreat, and instructed the butler, "You can arrange it." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper could hear the forbearance in An Xuyan's tone, but he didn't persuade him.

After the housekeeper left, An Xuyan slapped his palm on the table, and said in a dark manner: "Zhou Ding, don't think that my An family will serve you in the Western Zhou Dynasty for the rest of your life, and one day I will have real power, not only will I be in charge of the world of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but even your Western Zhou Kingdom will be attached from now on, and only one supreme emperor will be needed in the world." ”

Flicking his sleeves and leaving, An Xuyan strode to the backyard, where Old Man An was recuperating.

Old man An, who had to retreat behind the scenes due to a stroke, was obviously very emotional after seeing An Xuyan, and he kept screaming.

An Xuyan waved away the people in the room expressionlessly, sat down in front of Old Man An and said, "My patience is limited, you really refuse to tell me the secret that the An family guards?" ”

"Ahhh......h

"Hate me?" An Xuyan sneered, "Since I was a child, you have taught me that a manly man must be ruthless enough to do things, and what he wants to get, he must get it by any means." Am I not exactly what you want to be? A wolf in human skin, the head of the An family who kills people without blinking an eye but has a gentle appearance. ”
