When Sun Yanling heard that Sizhen asked him to stay, she was a little unhappy, but when she heard her say "our own forces", she immediately smiled: "Yes, we must have our own people." In fact, the best way is for you and me to get married as soon as possible, and then justifiably stay in Dingfan and sit in this position. ”

Seeing that Sun Yanling agreed to stay, Sizhen exhaled softly, but her face was still solemn, she looked at Sun Yanling and said, "Although Uncle Yan is loyal, after all, he is looking at my father's affection, and he doesn't have much respect for me. My age, my qualifications, could not convince him. Although the matter of the night banquet has nothing to do with him, this signal should not be underestimated......"

"After all, if Lu Shibo's attitude is more resolute, with his strictness in leading the army, it will not be a chance to take advantage of it, why would the third prince make such a move? If there was no hesitation on the part of the uncle, I was afraid that he would have eaten the wolf's heart and leopard gall, and it would not have been like this. Although we are not allowed to investigate in detail at the moment, we cannot let people splash sewage on them.

Bai Yansong and Sun Yanling glanced at each other, and Bai Yansong said: "Gege rest assured, with Sun Shenling and Qi Zuoling staring, even if they want to splash sewage, it is not so easy." ”

While a few people were talking, Thrush came in and said, "Gege, Dai Zuo has brought it over, saying that he is asking you to give him a reward and participate in their Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum appreciation the day after tomorrow." ”

Sun Yanling asked Sizhen: "Who is this Dai Zuoling?" On the cusp of this storm, he even came to invite you to appreciate the chrysanthemum, and he was bold enough. ”

"His name is Dai Liangchen, he is the leader of our family's coats, and he is quite talented, this time it is through him that I arranged some of my own people in the palace, I am far away in the capital, in Guilin City, and these coats can still be trusted."

Baoyi is the Manchu language, which is the abbreviation of Baoyi Aha, also known as Aha. Baoyi is "home", and Aha is "slave". Chinese translates to domestic slave, slave, servant, or servant. Baoyi was the domestic slave of the upper ruling class of the Manchu aristocracy, and although some of them were placed in the dignitary position because of their military exploits, they still retained their slave status for their masters. Unlike ordinary minions, the coat is more similar to a servant, and although an official or soldier with a coat has the right to reward or punish his own coat, he cannot kill him at will like other slaves, nor does he have the right to buy, sell, exchange, or give away without permission.

As a coat, even if he is a high-ranking official in the imperial court and has a high social status, he still has to regard himself as a servant to the feudal lord who has become an ordinary banner man due to bad luck, salute the down-and-out feudal lord, and handle various things in the family for the feudal lord. The feudal lord is down, not to mention a high-ranking feudal lord like Sizhen, Dai Liangchen is a wrapper, and he only kneels in front of her.

As soon as he heard that it was the Confucian family's coating, Sun Yanling didn't take it to heart, waved his hand and said, "You go out to see him, the relationship between you and me, it's not easy for outsiders to know at this time." The less outsiders know, the more beneficial it will be for me to stay in Guilin City, and it will also prevent the Lian family from taking precautions. ”

Sizhen nodded, after all, Dai Liangchen has a coat and collar, and it is really not necessary for her and Sun Yanling to come forward to receive them, even if it is to win people's hearts, it is too much.

She went out to sit in the small flower hall outside, a maid led Dai Liangchen in, he saluted with Sizhen in a proper manner, and said respectfully: "Thinking that something happened two days ago, Gege was only afraid of unhappiness, this is about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the slave raised some chrysanthemums in the cheap, you can also take a look, she just wanted to let Gege scatter his heart, the chrysanthemums of the slave's family, in this Guilin city is also quite famous, in the early years the prince also offered two pots to the palace, it is said that it has won some praise. ”

Don't look at Dai Liangchen who keeps calling himself a slave in front of Sizhen, in fact, the Dai family has already earned a family business because of military exploits, Dai Liangchen, as an assistant leader, belongs to the kind of local snake with a wide range of people and quite powerful in Guilin, even if it is a line of Guoan, he has to give him a little thin noodles.

This time, in the name of his wife, he invited Sizhen to appreciate the chrysanthemum and came in person, which was nothing more than to show that he was dead set on the Kong family and was determined to be loyal to Sizhen.

Seeing that Dai Liangchen was so respectful to himself, Sizhen smiled and said kindly: "Thank you to your wife, I have long heard that the Dai family's chrysanthemums are the best in Guilin City." I saw the two pots of chrysanthemums dedicated to the palace, and they were indeed brilliant. Go back and tell your wife, I thank her for the invitation, and I will go the day after tomorrow. ”

Dai Liangchen had a little pride on his face, thanked Sizhen, hesitated for a moment on his face, and then said: "The slave heard a news before, and I don't know if Gege knows it." ”

"What's the news?"

"It's just that there are rumors outside that the capital has the intention to submit a table to the court, please marry the third son of his family."

"Where did this come from?"

"It's just rumors on the streets, Gege also knows that these rumors have always been absurd, but the slave listened to it and felt that he should tell you, and said that the reason for this move was because of some extra worries, so he wanted you to marry the third prince, so that although Gege could enter the feudal domain and sit in charge of the king's affairs, he actually became a puppet of the Lian family." Dai Liangchen said as he paid attention to Sizhen's face.

Obviously, such rumors are caused by some people to test Sizhen's attitude through Dai Liangchen's mouth.

Sizhen smiled: "It's really a rumor, what kind of person is Liandu, how can he do things so smallly?" If he really had this intention, he must have told me first, and he must have done it uprightly, how could he secretly report to the court? Moreover, although I am the righteous daughter of the Queen Mother, the marriage contract is my own plan, even if he is on the table, the emperor and the Queen Mother will not be able to agree. ”

"Yes, yes, the minions also think so, it is impossible for the line to do such a thing. This is a rumor, Gege just smiled when he heard it, and he didn't have to take it to heart. ”

Dai Liangchen said a few more words, bowed and retreated. As soon as he left, Sun Yanling walked out from behind, looked at the crystal curtain that was still shaking, and said disdainfully: "I said that Yu Xuan has been asking people about your preferences recently, dare to love, he still has this thought, he really dares to think about it!" ”

Sizhen said: "At the banquet that day and night, the wife of the third prince also attended, I remember, you also saved her, he has a wife, how can he still ask to marry me, is it possible, do you still want me to be his wife?" Or does he want to degrade his wife to a concubine and marry me again? In either case, if he really had such a mind, the emperor would not spare him first. ”

"That woman, said to be the third lady, is actually a concubine he loves, because he has not yet married a wife, so outside, he walks in the name of the third lady, but that's it, you are a Heshuo Gege, he also dares to think, it is really beyond his strength. I'm just wondering, since he has this plan, how can he let that concubine attend the day and night banquet? It's a little confusing. ”

Sizhen also felt a little puzzled and shook her head.

In fact, Sun Yanling knew very well in his heart that Lu Yuxuan's move was nothing more than a show that he had no intention of marrying Sizhen, but he was forced to do it under the pressure of his father.

From this point of view, I'm afraid that the rumors are somewhat true, and the person who really wants to marry Sizhen for Yuxuan is the Lian Guoan, and the two families of Kong and Lian will marry, and the power will not fall, even if Sizhen is an adult, the Lian family can continue to control the Dingfang in the name of justice.

What an old fox, scheming.

And Lu Yuxuan is himself, but he is afraid that he has a little contempt for Sizhen, thinking that she is not worried, and he didn't want to marry such a great god at first, after all, for the Lu family, Sizhen is not only Heshuo Gege, but also the feudal lord of the Dingfan, and if he marries back, he has to be offered like a Bodhisattva, and he will never be able to do whatever he wants in front of other women, which is difficult for Yu Xuan.

It's me, didn't I hesitate because of Sizhen's identity at the beginning, but now I want to marry her because of my parents' orders, I have a marriage contract, or love at first sight and a long-term love, but Sun Yanling is a little confused.

But Sun Yanling knew very well that the change in Yuxuan's attitude towards Sizhen was after that night's banquet, obviously, Sizhen's calmness and calmness in the face of the assassins made him understand that it was impossible to prevent Sizhen from returning to Guilin and really taking over the Dingfan, and if he wanted to make the Lian family worthy of his name, the most labor-saving and effective way was what his father thought - marriage.

It's a pity that they miscalculated, not to mention that Sizhen now has a marriage contract with him, even if he doesn't, the emperor will not be able to agree.

The one in the Forbidden City is still thinking about Sizhen.

"Ah Zhen, I'm thinking, if Dutong hints at you about this, you might as well reveal the marriage contract between you and me, lest they have some thoughts that they shouldn't have, and again, you obviously don't have such a heart, why should you bear such a reputation?" Sun Yanling thought about it, felt that he still couldn't be careless, and reminded Si Zhendao.

Sizhen raised her eyebrows lightly, and said coldly: "You're right, you really can't give them any illusions about such things, otherwise we will be passive if someone uses this thing to make a fuss." It's just that these days, you have also seen the situation, the father and son of the Lian family have their own plans, I know that I can retreat this time, but I don't want to retreat, I don't want to be forced to leave Guilin. The feudal domain was earned by my father, and no one can be delusional, even if I can't fully control the affairs here for the time being, I must not give the officials and people of the feudal domain a weak and bullying impression, cowardly and incompetent, what belongs to me, I don't give it, no one wants to rob it! ”

Looking at the resolute look on Sizhen's face, Sun Yanling was a little surprised: but he was only fifteen years old, he was so assertive and thoughtful, and when it came to marriage, he didn't have the shyness of other little girls, if this was ......

Thinking of his married life, he had a headache, obviously, the husband is the wife, and the wife should be obedient to the traditional virtues such as the husband, in Sizhen, he doesn't think about it.

Marrying a wife who is as beautiful as a flower, both civil and military, and has a high and powerful position, there are many advantages, but this disadvantage is ...... It seems like a lot!

"Gege, Sun Shenling...... Great, the dancing girl has been recruited, senior brother, please come over and take a look. Sizhen's third junior brother, Martin ran in and said with a happy face.
