Shi Caifeng said to leave, Su Yuyan slept soundly, Princess Yikang asked someone to add a thin blanket for her, turned her head and stared at Zhuo Zhaojie, and said, "Okay, now that Shi Wu is gone, I just want to ask you - what do you little lady think of Ning Jiu?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie's face turned red all of a sudden.

Princess Yikang was unmoved, and still continued: "I heard Ning Jiu say that you are a very smart little lady, so obviously I also know that the reason why you can appear here this year is all because of Ning Jiu, but I think you must not know that this year's 'Spring' banquet is earlier than in the past, and even the peony has not opened in advance, it is also because of you!" ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but snort.

Princess Yikang squinted and said: "You just came to Chang'an and may not know my 'sex', I hold this 'spring' banquet every year, not so much a 'spring' banquet as a peony banquet, all because I like peonies and like to be lively, why do you think this year will be so long in advance, and choose this angry 'spring' garden?" Originally, I planned to do it in Luoyang next month, but Ning Jiu pulled Shi Wu to my mansion and said that because of the political disagreement between the two of you, I was afraid that I would make trouble for you by seeing you in a side way, so I begged me to hold a banquet earlier this year and give you a post......"

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned.

"I'm telling you this, I don't want to blame you for Ning Jiu's intentions, after all, I don't know very well about the things between you children, Ning Jiu is my cousin, and it's not a big deal to have a banquet in advance, at most it will be delayed for a few more days, and it will be like this once a year, not to mention that the people I invite are people who have not yet married and are not entangled in anything." Princess Yikang looked at her deeply and said, "I just want to remind you that this little lady - although Ning Jiu has been doing his best for your sake, but you were still scolded by your brother today, so he is the eldest princess and the son of the marquis, and what he can do is limited after all, in fact, when he begged me to have a banquet in advance, I told him that it may not be so easy between you, but he is very infatuated - like today, Zhuo Ba's opposition is just a trivial matter, have you ever thought about it in the future?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked directly at the princess's sharp gaze, and said slowly: "Your Highness's reminder is indeed very right, although when Brother Fang reprimanded me, he was also sure that I and Ning Jiu would never succeed, but what I thought about at that time was just to perfunctory my brother first, as for the longer one, I didn't think about it, I always thought that it was a matter of the future, but now after listening to His Highness's words, I feel that if I don't think clearly about the future, it is indeed a matter of character to enjoy Ning Jiu's care and dedication like this!" ”

Princess Yikang said, "Then what do you think?" The princess reminded in a voice, "It is said that you are also the right 'door', of course, Ning Jiu's grandmother is the eldest princess, and your father may not be able to become the son of Minping Hou, so you are actually a little lower than Ning Jiu in terms of background, but I don't think anyone will care about such a difference, the biggest problem is that there has always been a discord between my cousin, the Marquis of Yongcheng and your grandfather Marquis Minping - Ning Jiu has his grandmother to beg for, and he can cross the pass of the Marquis of Yongcheng, what about you?" ”

Thinking of Min Pinghou, Zhuo Zhaojie felt depressed that her 'chest' couldn't speak, she paused for a moment, and then said: "I haven't thought of anything for the time being, but I will never marry someone I don't like." ”

"Then do you like Ning Jiu?" Princess Yikang looked at her and asked softly.

Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the 'waiters' around him, and said helplessly: "Your Highness! ”

The little lady blushed and pleaded. Princess Yikang said with a smile, "That's like it?" Did you like it enough to be willing to marry him? ”

Zhuo Zhao didn't squint, stared at the glass bottle in front of him, and stopped talking.

She regrets it now - since she left Gu Pan'er, she seems to have been being tricked by the princess, almost step-by-step, to tell so many truths......

After all, she is a little lady who has always been praised for her cleverness, and Zhuo Zhaojie has felt that something is wrong now: Princess Yikang, she is too much in favor of the matter between herself and Ning Shaobi, right? Her approach and tone all show that she is 'forced' to make a statement...... Of course, she is willing to marry Ning Shaobi, but even if she is Ning Shaobi's cousin and loves Ning Shaobi very much, why does she approve of herself so much?

It is said that no matter how bad Ning Shaobi's reputation in Chang'an is, in the end, he is the son of the marquis, and with the eldest princess as the backing, will he lose the wife of the famous 'door' lady and 'daughter'? Princess Yikang had never seen herself before, so why did she support herself so much? After all, up to now, Princess Yikang cares a lot about Ning Shaobi's attitude towards her kind face, although Zhuo Zhaojie is conceited and beautiful, but Princess Yikang and the concubine look affectionate, and it is impossible for the same 'girl' to be affected by her appearance, right?

Sure enough, after she was silent, Princess Yikang tried a few words, and she didn't have the 'agitation' general who was aggressive before, but took the initiative to divert the topic and introduce the scenery of the angry 'Spring' Garden to her.

Zhuo Zhaojie was full of depression and perfunctory, and he couldn't say with regret in his heart, although he couldn't guess Princess Yikang's intentions to do this, but this feeling of being scolded three times and twice and 'exposed' was really bad...... How can this be? I'm the smart and clever Zhuo Xiaoqi, why would I fall for the trick so easily?

When he entered the Hou Mansion before, he didn't suffer such a loss in front of the Shen family and Zhuo Fangdian!

She thought about it for a long time, and finally understood - she had never guarded Princess Yikang at all!

It's no wonder that Zhuo Zhaojie has imagined all kinds of problems and attitudes of the princess when she meets the princess, but how could she have thought that the first time they met, Her Royal Highness the princess was most concerned about the matter between her and Ning Shaobi?

Caught off guard, coupled with the fact that she had just entered the 'Spring' Garden, because of the dialogue between Shi Caifeng and Chun Yu Sangyu, and the three words "flowing 'flower' residence" misunderstood Ning Shaobi, she already felt guilty about Ning Shaobi in her heart, and listened to Shi Caifeng tell Ning Jiu's grievances, and then listened to Princess Yikang's interrogation as an elder...... Zhuo Zhaojie is smart and smart, after all, the face of the little lady's family is tender, how can she continue to avoid the topic or be silent?

When I woke up at this moment, I was a little embarrassed about the meaning of 'handing' and can't have a seizure with Princess Yikang, so I couldn't help but pick up the glass bottle and drink the stuffy wine.

After a long time, Zhao Kuang came back empty-handed, and Princess Yikang stopped the idle topic with Zhuo Zhaojie and asked him, "Where is the qin?" ”

Fang just sent it directly to Shi Er, and by the way, I saw that he played it...... In the end, there is no void under the fame, and the Nine Heavens Ring is really like heaven in his hands. Zhao Kuang smiled and sat down on the embroidery stool that Su Yuyan had sat on before-because Su Yuyan was still asleep on the couch at the moment.

Princess Yikang smiled: "That's a good piano, even those who barely play it won't play it badly, especially Shi Er's piano skills, how can it be bad?" ”

Zhao Kuang said: "That's what I said - the finale of this 'Spring' banquet is exciting, it is rare for Pan Niang to cooperate with Yan Niang, and even Shi Wu has been added, and the best people in Chang'an are all there, only one Cao Yi or Li Yanjing is missing, Xia Niang of the second brother's family is young in the end, although she has studied under Li Yanjing for many years, it is also considered to be a true inheritance, but it is lacking in popularity." ”

"It's nothing, just call Cao Yi over tomorrow and tomorrow." Princess Yikang didn't care and said, "Anyway, these days, I don't think there will be any decent banquets in Chang'an, and the affairs of the teaching workshop are here, and Cao Yi is idle in the light house." ”

"Speaking of which, Yan Niang's pipa is actually better than Xia Niang, but this time she chose the 'hole' flute......" Zhao Kuang's voice suddenly blurred, and Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself: "What's going on?" ”

It's just that before the thought was finished, she was dizzy in her head, and she struggled reluctantly, and finally pounced and fell headlong on the case......

This sound made Princess Yikang and Zhao Kuang look at it at the same time, Zhao Kuang looked at Zhuo Zhaojie and then at Su Yuyan on the couch, and suddenly smiled: "Liuniang, is this the place where you want to give up the couch?" ”

Princess Yikang said with a smile: "I see that this little lady saw Yanniang's drunken appearance, and just now she had to pour wine one bottle after another, and said that she had a good amount of wine...... Don't you want to use wine to drown your sorrows? ”

Then he commanded, "Go outside and call their maids, and carry them both to sleep in the pavilion above...... Two people take up the couch, is there still a place for us? ”

The two drunk little ladies were dismissed, and Zhao Kuang asked Princess Yikang: "Shi Wu asked me to go to Shi Er first...... What's going on? ”

"What could it be?" Princess Yikang said with a smile, "He and I just talked to this little lady, this is also Ning Jiu's troubles, and I have to get this little lady's personal consent - according to me, what Shi Wu said is very right, since Ning Jiu is interesting to this little lady, this little lady is also from a serious family, and she has directly married the 'door', or is it included in the backyard?" Where is this grinding like he used to be? When it was weird, the five 'private' people had to laugh at him. ”

Zhao Kuang smiled and said: "What you said, Ning Jiu was emotional for the first time, and he liked this little lady very much, how could he be willing to force her?" ”

Princess Yikang said casually: "What is this reluctant? Although we don't care about the remarriage of the 'female' son and the remarriage of the man, but Min Pinghou can't resist the second aunt anyway, and when he marries the 'door', he has no way out, are you afraid that this little lady will not put her mind away and live with Ning Jiu? She came to a conclusion, "Speaking of which, although Ning Jiu has been taught by Su Shina to kill decisively, he is too young, and his heart is still too soft!" Now that this matter is dragging on, there are more and more problems, and I should have said that before this little lady returned to Chang'an, she should have invited her second aunt to go to her father and mother to invite the holy decree - how could he be stopped by Zhuo Ba and Pan Niang today? ”

...... "Well, in the eyes of the magnates of the Great Liang Dynasty, especially the nobles who have royal blood flowing, the Great Liang Law is a floating cloud!"

Including the golden branch 'jade' leaf that looks charming and beautiful, although she can also afford the noble and elegant princess shelf, Princess Yikang's nature is also the master who regards murder and arson as idle, and sees the master of 'adultery' and criminalization, and has an innate sense of superiority in her bones, so that Princess Yikang doesn't put people outside the royal blood in her eyes at all, the little lady of the Marquis Minping Mansion is already a very rich identity in the eyes of the common people, but in the eyes of Princess Yikang...... What about calculating such a little lady?

Don't talk about her, it's Ning Jiu, if it weren't for Ning Jiu's great liking for this little lady and insisting on refusing to grieve Zhuo Zhaojie, he used a strong ...... For this group of well-born royal bloodlines, as long as they do not commit the crime of rebellion, all other crimes can be regarded as non-existent - even if they are facing the powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but ordinary magnates do not have the protection of their bloodline......

It is good for a saint to be a wise man, but a wise man should be kind to the courtiers who are loyal to him to show his humble 'heart' of accepting advice, and he should also be lenient to his relatives and nephews to show his benevolence......

Zhao Kuang smiled bitterly and said, "So what about your words with Shi Wu's little lady?" ”

Princess Yikang said: "Although I didn't say it explicitly, I think I agreed." She said, "Anyway, just tell Ning Jiu like that, and he won't be there." ”

"In that case, Ning Jiu will pester the second aunt to ask the saint and the queen for the holy decree of marriage." Zhao Kuang said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid Marquis Min Ping won't agree to this." ”

"The father and mother have always respected the second aunt, how many troubles has Ning Jiu caused since he was a child? Thinking of the face of the second aunt, his father and the emperor have never bothered with him. Princess Yikang squinted her eyes and said, "Now the second aunt wants to ask for a marriage decree for Ning Jiu, this little seventh mother of the Zhuo family has not left the pavilion and has no marriage contract, and the father has no one who will not agree - that is, the second brother has something to say, I will also help the second aunt, I can't stand Ning Jiu's two 'doors' in three days to beg me to help him coax a little lady!" ”

The princess said seriously, "Anyway, as long as the marriage decree is given, the second brother will not be able to marry Xia Niang to Ning Jiu, in that case, I can rest assured, and my father will also rest assured!" "Princess Yikang called Jinshang her father, and her father could only be Zhao Kuang's father.

Hearing her say this, Zhao Kuang changed color slightly and said, "Liuniang, what you said!" ”

"Alright, alright." Princess Yikang said with a smile, "Don't talk about this—let them change the tune." ”
