By the time we arrived at the front, King Qi and Jia Quan were already sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

Naturally, it was another kneeling ceremony.

According to the seniority, the prince and I are juniors, so we also went to greet everyone with us. But according to respect, the prince is the prince, they are ministers, and they should be them to visit us. In the end, neither of them allowed the other to salute, but only humbly gave in.

After the guest and host sat down, King Qi smiled and said: "When the princess and I just got off at the door, we thought we had gone to the wrong door. After asking the door, I found out that you all went to see Keju. We didn't interrupt the game, did we? ”

The father hurriedly said that the competition was over, and asked people to bring those poems and paintings for King Qi to see.

King Qi looks at poetry, and Jia Quan looks at paintings.

Although Jia Quan kept praising her mouth, everyone could hear the obvious sour taste in her words.

I sat aside and looked at her secretly, and found that the more she looked at the painting, the more obvious the unevenness and unwillingness on her face became. Perhaps, my father was a little biased, and tried his best to curry favor with the prince, but he seemed to be indifferent to her and the king of Qi, and he didn't even prepare for them to come over today.

Of course, she doesn't have a father in her eyes, how can her father have her daughter in his eyes? There is really a stepmother, there is a stepfather. While her mother was banished from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she and her sister were also banished.

She lifted her head from the painting, her eyes searching the crowd.

I know, she's looking for me.

I took the initiative to meet her gaze, and immediately felt that strong, deep hatred.

Every time anyone in our family hurt her, she would put that account on my head. To her, I was a scarecrow who specialized in practicing knives, and every time she hated, she had to prick me a few times to vent.

Sure enough, she threw the painting to the servant and said to the king in a coquettish tone, "Your Highness, accompany me to my grandmother's room to pour incense on her spiritual seat." ”

He turned back to me and beckoned me: "Sister, you can go with the prince." I'm guessing you haven't incense your grandma yet. ”

The implication is that I know that you are not filial, and you will definitely not remember to incense your grandmother.

These words made my father's face blush. There are too many guests at home today, and things are too complicated, and he really neglected this important link.

In order to hide his embarrassment, the father loudly ordered the servants to hurry over and prepare.

So a large group of people surrounded the two couples and walked to the backyard.

When offering incense and praying, Jia Quan recited a word and said: "Grandma, please bless me and King Qi to love each other, grow old together, live long and healthy, and have a full house of children and grandchildren!" ”

After praying, he coquettishly let King Qi recite it. King Qi smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and still remembered it.

The relatives and servants who came in with us burst into laughter.

When it was my turn to be with the crown prince, I also smiled and said, "Since there are existing good words, we don't bother to think about it anymore, lest we wish too much and grandma can't bless us." He turned back and asked the prince: "Do you remember what Princess Qi read just now?" ”

The prince nodded, his brain was not good, but his parroting skills were very good.

So the two of us prayed Jia Quan's prayer in unison again.

After the incense was finished, I whispered in the prince's ear: "I will take you to play with crickets now." But you are not allowed to shout loudly, lest anyone hear it and reach the ears of your father, you know? ”

He nodded in ecstasy. I took his hand and said to everyone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just soaked his clothes with sweat, Nanfeng will take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down to change his clothes now." ”

The guests hurriedly said, then hurry up, don't catch a cold, it's not good to feel the cold.

The prince and I left hand in hand affectionately.

As the afterglow passed, I was pleasantly surprised by that person's reaction. I felt my body suddenly become as light as a bird, and I almost jumped up and down to take the prince's hand.

And sparks erupted in Jia Quan's eyes.

There were two reasons for her to spark: first, her husband's eyes had been following me and the prince's departure; Second, the stupid prince is so handsome, and he looks like a normal person on the surface!

The reason why she came today is that in addition to watching her "sister" sad and lost, watching her "brother-in-law" make a fool of herself was also the main event.

As a result, it seems that she is sad and lost. It's sad that my father is so favoritistic, and my new husband can't seem to completely forget me.

I held the prince's hand, thinking about King Qi's lost expression just now, Jia Quan's bitter hatred. My entanglement with this couple is probably the only end that comes to death.

And this person next to me, only he is simple-minded, not pure as a child, but originally a child.

My world is too dark, full of hatred and strife, and I hope it doesn't involve him. I had the intention of raising him to be a puppet, but I never wanted to hurt him.

Holding his hand tightly, this beautiful and noble young man showed me a stunning smile, my heart suddenly became soft and warm, and I asked myself in my heart: If one day I have to sacrifice him for the benefit of King Qi, can I do it?

It seems that it can't be done now, and as time goes by, I'm afraid it will be more difficult.

I'm not loving him, I'm just pitying.

Dragged him into the small living room outside my bedroom, where several cricket players were already waiting.

Xiao Cui used to close the doors and windows, and shut out the hustle and bustle outside.

Then we shut up in the house and played cricket, not only the prince, but I also watched, and later I even played in person.

I have to learn this, otherwise how can I keep the prince with me? Only by playing with him all the time can you become the person he needs the most.

It wasn't until the eunuchs reported outside the door that it was time to drive back to the palace, that the prince reluctantly said goodbye to the cricket masters, and agreed with them to play with them next time he came back.

When they left, I gave each of them a big package. Although I knew that my father would definitely have a big reward, I still explained while rewarding: "I don't want anyone to know about today's events." If there's the slightest rumor outside, I'm the only one to ask! ”

They hurriedly said: "Of course, Xiangye has already explained." Please rest assured. ”

With a few crickets and a few large bags of various toys left behind, we returned to the palace.

After entering the palace gate, the prince still hesitated for a moment as to whether to go back to the East Palace or to Xie Jiu. At that time, I smiled and said, "If the prince wants to go back to Xie Jiu, go there." However, these crickets and toys, it is better for me to quietly bring them back to the East Palace. lest the prince take it everywhere and be found by the emperor, it will be over, and it will be confiscated. ”

As soon as the prince heard that the crickets and toys could not be taken away from him, he didn't think about it, and immediately said that he would go back to the East Palace with me.

Soon after dinner in the evening, we went to take a bath, and then sent all the eunuchs and palace ladies out. When they left, they all smiled ambiguously, probably thinking that the prince and I were very affectionate because we were newlyweds, and we couldn't wait for it to get dark.

We closed the door and played with crickets and toys until we couldn't open our eyes before we stripped off and chuang.

I lay down first, and when the prince climbed up, he stopped above me and asked me, "Can you hold me?" When I slept with Ah Jiu, she always hugged me. ”

All right.

He immediately snuggled up to me like a child, even though he was much taller than me.

After a while, he said, "Can you sing to me?" Ah Jiu always patted me and hummed softly, she said that it was the lullaby that her mother sang to her when she was a child. ”

It turns out that instead of marrying a husband, I raised a son?
