Coming out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Nie Xingji felt more and more strange. From the moment he lifted the bracelet, the slight reaction was palpable: displeasure, sarcasm...... In the end, it's a cover-up. But the words that were covered up sounded really reluctant, and there was a hint of emotion.

In fact, when he went to the eldest princess's mansion, he was ready to break up unhappily. But because of a bracelet, this is too inexplicable!

Nie Xingji returned to Jinghou Mansion by car, and the first thing he did was to spread out the rice paper, draw the pattern of the bracelet with his memory, and hurriedly recruit Mingchen to go far beyond the mansion.

"You send someone to the office or the treasurer's room to check this bracelet." Nie Xingji handed the pattern to Ming Chenyuan.

The latter took the rice paper and looked at it: "Your Highness actually can draw bracelets?" ”

Nie Xingji didn't have the heart to joke with him, but said: "I drew it from memory, it is about this pattern, if Si Zhenfang has a similar picture, you want to make a sub-draft." ”

"Yes." Mingchen answered in his mouth, and asked again: "Why did you start to pay attention to the bracelet?" ”

"Today, the eldest princess wore this bracelet, saying that it was tailor-made for her, and it was just a few days after it was created." Nie Xingji's eyebrows furrowed: "But I have obviously seen this pattern before, it should have been before I was assassinated." ”

Thinking of today's slightly thick reaction, Nie Xingchen rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed again: "After a few months of recuperation, I have lost even the ability to remember it." ”

"This kind of daughter's thing, you can still remember, it's already very powerful." Ming Chenyuan took the pattern and looked left and right, but he couldn't see the slightest speciality: "The bracelets in the world obviously look the same." ”

"You don't understand the customs so much, how can Jincheng take a fancy to you?" Nie Xingji waved his hand at him: "If you ask about this bracelet, you should also take a break." During this time, you will be able to take care of Jincheng with peace of mind. ”

When this topic was mentioned, Ming Chenyuan immediately looked very worried: "I'm afraid that the queen and the prince will ......."

"As long as you and Jincheng are in love, nothing else is a problem." Nie Xingji paused, and then reminded: "Although Jincheng is simple, she is Helian Biyue's daughter after all. It's okay for you to fall in love with her, but be careful. ”

"Don't worry, she never asked us about it, and now she's bent on having a baby." Ming Chenyuan's face was calm.

"You really ...... Got it in mind? Let her give birth to the child? Nie Xingji asked tactfully.

"I've thought about it. After all, the eldest brother was killed by me, and it is natural to save the child for him. Ming Chenyuan's tone was as usual, without the slightest abnormality.

But Nie Xingchen knew in his heart that he felt a little guilty about Ming Chongyuan's death, so he persuaded: "It was your eldest brother who snatched people's love at the beginning, and secretly harmed you many times, he deserved it." ”

"But the child is innocent after all, I know it in my heart." Ming Chenyuan was very calm, pinching the pattern in his hand: "Without further ado, I'll send someone to investigate." ”

On the third day when Ming Chenyuan said this, he found out some clues. At that time, Nie Xingji was about to go to the eldest princess's mansion for a birthday banquet, but before he could walk out of the inner courtyard, he stopped him.

"Your Highness, this is a bit interesting!" Mingchen couldn't hide his excitement.

"Oh? How so? Nie Xingji immediately retreated and lifted his spirits.

Ming Chenyuan attached it to his ear and whispered: "There should be two bracelets, one gold and one silver......"

*****

At the same time, the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the banquet hall.

King Yan and the eldest princess sat alone in the side hall and talked relatively secretly.

"The king came here two hours in advance, is there something important?" The eldest princess asked with a smile.

"What? Can't you come and see it in advance? King Yan pretended to ask.

"Come on," the eldest princess obviously didn't believe it, "did you come here so early for the sake of your two precious sons?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, King Yan stopped being polite, and smiled back: "I can't hide anything from you." ”

The eldest princess sighed: "I came here three days ago, and I saw that my spirit was okay, but I lost a lot of weight." As for the crown prince...... Not seen again in years. ”

two nephews, one of whom had just recovered from a serious injury, knew that he had come to visit her aunt; A son-in-law who is not sick or painful, and is her nominal son-in-law, but he always uses the excuse that he is busy with government affairs.

The eldest princess's heart was like a mirror, but she didn't say this, but said: "Actually, I like Marks from the bottom of my heart, although he has a heavy heart, but he also has affection and righteousness." But...... Since you made me Qingcheng's mother and promised Qingcheng to the prince, I had no choice but to stand up again. ”

"What's the line?" King Yan asked knowingly.

The eldest princess glanced at him, and instead of answering, she asked, "What do you think in your heart?" Don't let Scarlet go back to Fangzhou? If he stays here for a long time, won't he let Helian Biyue pinch it in his hands? ”

"Just to let him be under Lone's nose, Lone wants to see, if the queen dares to do it." King Yan sneered.

"You use your own son as bait? Watching two sons fight back and forth? That's too cruel! "The eldest princess didn't understand King Yan's intentions.

"It's not Lone's ruthlessness," King Yan said cryptically, "Lone is waiting, giving Ji'er a boost." ”

He saw that the eldest princess didn't seem to understand, so he smiled and hinted: "Don't be in a hurry to stand in line, who is your son-in-law is still unknown." ”

"This means......" The eldest princess couldn't hide her surprise, she couldn't help but cover her face with her sleeves and lowered her voice: "You want to replace the prince?" ”

"Did you say that?" King Yan began to deny it: "Lone just said that you might change your son-in-law, but he didn't say anything else." ”

The eldest princess immediately understood and said no more.

It's a long story. Many years ago, when Nie Yanglong, the king of Yan, was diving, in order to win the support of the eldest princess Nie Zhiying, he promised her that once he sat on the throne, he would definitely grant her the position of marquis of the horse and her daughter to become the crown princess. Therefore, the eldest princess used her power and the favor of her parents to help Nie Yang ascend to the throne.

For many years, both parties have remembered this promise of marriage. The eldest princess and the concubine Duhao had a very strong relationship, and gave birth to two sons and three daughters one after another. Unexpectedly, King Yan had thin incense and had heirs later.

As a result, among the three daughters of the eldest princess, the first two daughters were married successively because they were too old; Only the daughter she conceived at the age of thirty-three is gifted and intelligent, and she is a good age, which can match the two sons of King Yan. It's a pity that providence made people, this child did not live past the age of fifteen.

The eldest princess didn't want to take a concubine, and she was getting older and having a difficult child, so she originally thought that the promise she made back then was hopeless to fulfill. But King Yan comforted her and promised to return her a daughter in the future. Because of this, she did not publicize the death of her daughter, and kept her daughter's household registration for its use.

At the end of the year before last, after Qingcheng returned to China, he first entered the Tao, and then "died of illness" and was sent to the eldest princess's mansion. At that time, she knew that this was the daughter that King Yan had returned to her. She didn't ask much about the inside story, she only knew that Qingcheng's identity was wrong, not royal blood.

She actually didn't like Helian Biyue, and she didn't even want to see the prince, and originally wanted to help Nie Xingji, but King Yan made a will to marry Qingcheng to the prince. And she, as Qingcheng's nominal mother, naturally wants to help her son-in-law. So, she had to re-examine the prince and give up Nie Xingji.

But now listen to what King Yan means...... is determined to re-establish the prince. What about Qingcheng? Do you want to remarry again?

The eldest princess was full of doubts, and unconsciously remembered the days when Nie Xingji came to visit her, that kind of words and deeds, especially the words of marriage. Thinking of Nie Xingji's attack on Chu again, she suddenly understood the cause and effect, and hurriedly asked King Yan for confirmation: "Trace...... Eyeing Qingcheng for a long time? ”

"Hmm." King Yan was concise and to the point.

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay! Good! I took a closer look at the marks. There are guts, there are guts! ”

"Don't talk nonsense in front of him, it's a big thing to spoil Lone." King Yan deliberately reminded her: "You can't be in a hurry in this matter, the queen is still thinking about it." ”

"What is there to think about. Ever since you supported Helian Biyue's uncle as the patriarch, I think he has been very loyal to you! Trace's biological mother, didn't you also let her naturalize the Helian clan? Who is the crown prince, aren't they all the grandsons of the Helian clan? The eldest princess said with great interest: "For so many years, the court has been calm, and I am so idle that I am panicking!" ”

King Yan shook his head helplessly: "You are so idle that you are in a panic, so you come to fiddle with the lonely sons?" ”

"Oh, I'll just say it casually, I'd better take care of today's birthday banquet first!" The eldest princess waved her hand, got up, and said in a good mood: "Why don't you let Hou Ye accompany you to kill two games first?" I'm going to change my clothes. ”

King Yan looked her up and down: "It's already dressed in gorgeous clothes, and you still want to change your clothes?" ”

The eldest princess giggled: "Master Hou made a set of head jewelry for me, and I will wait to wear it today!" ”

King Yan knew that she had a good face, and she was always carefully dressed up on such occasions, so he had to smile and say, "Go ahead!" Let the definition Hou accompany you! Also, the crown prince will accompany the queen over. ”

"Ouch, the queen is here too! My house is full of sparkle! The eldest princess chuckled, "She's never been very close to me. ”

"Now that your daughter is the crown princess, can she not come?"

"Yes."

*****

Two hours later, night fell, and the eldest princess's mansion was full of guests.

The guard of honor of the queen and the crown prince stopped in front of the palace gate. The eldest princess Nie Zhiying, Jinghou Nie Xingji and other clan relatives stood at the door to greet each other.

Queen Helian stepped down from the phoenix chariot with a slight support, and the crown prince Nie Xingyi stepped down from another gold-topped chariot. In front of the house, they immediately fell to their knees, and the sounds of greetings and greetings were endless.

Queen Helian brought a cart of valuable gifts, and as usual, she was jogging and laughing with the eldest princess. Originally, the atmosphere was happy, and the group was about to step into the door, but Queen Helian suddenly paused.

The eldest princess felt Queen Helian suddenly clench her left hand. She was a little pained, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that the queen's five-fingered Kodan was unusually bright in the twilight, and was holding her wrist, but it had loosened its strength.

The eldest princess was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with the queen?" But what's uncomfortable? ”

Queen Helian's expression was very strange, as if a trace of gloom had passed, and then she let go of her hand and held her forehead with a smile: "It's okay, maybe I've been sitting in the chariot for too long, and I'm a little dizzy." ”

A voice of concern sounded, and the queen sent away everyone's greetings one by one, and walked in again, asking as she went, "What about the king?" ”

"Master Hou is playing chess with him! The two of them killed hard. The eldest princess laughed, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were of different shades, and they gathered into a withered flower under the palace lamp.

The queen laughed when she heard this, and everyone laughed with her. The atmosphere seemed to be lively again, and everyone gathered around the queen and the eldest princess and walked to the banquet hall together.
