The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the south of the capital, and the luxury of the mansion is the only official in the capital that can compete with the prince's mansion. Xi Zhonglin's father was a powerful general in the previous dynasty, and his father fought all his life and created a powerful army for his family. And in Xi Zhonglin's generation, he did not choose to inherit his father's army, but engaged in civilian officials. But he has the tiger token of his father's army in his hand, so in the Li Dynasty, the hundred officials are headed by him, and even the current emperor has to respect him for three points.

In the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yao was boredly plucking the petals, looking at the petals floating on the surface of the lake, which reminded her of the lingering scene that day, and her heart suddenly beat faster and her cheeks turned crimson. And Xiao Cui, who was standing on the side, saw her young lady's spring heart, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss, why did you refuse to see the prince in the past two days, Miss Mingming, you also want to see the prince?" ”

Xi Yao listened, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Men are the same, the more things they can't get, the more they want to get their hands on them, even the Litian, who is admired by thousands of people, is no exception. She threw the last flower branch in her hand into the lake, and said meaningfully to Xiao Cui, "You will understand later." ”

"Oh." Although Xiao Cui was confused when she heard it, since the young lady said so, she didn't ask any more, which was why Xi Yao kept her by her side in the first place.

Suddenly, a noisy sound of gongs and drums came into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xiao Cui excitedly shouted: "Miss, it's time to leave the prince to propose marriage!" ”

Xi Yao listened to the sound of the gong, her heart was excited and slightly nervous, and the silk scarf in her hand was slowly devouring the fine beads of sweat coming out of her palm. She resisted the urge to see Litian immediately, and calmly ordered: "Xiaocui, you go to the front hall to watch, if the prince wants to find me after mentioning to his father, you can take him to my wing." ”

"Well, got it, Miss!" After Xiao Cui finished speaking, she happily ran to the front hall.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yao is the daughter of Xi Zhonglin's wife, because his wife's health has not been very good, so after giving birth to Xi Yao, she will never give birth again. In order to strengthen the incense of the family, Xi Zhonglin successively included three concubines. For a long time, Xi Zhonglin felt that he owed something to his deceased wife, so he regarded Xi Yao's daughter as a treasure. Just last night, he received a small message, saying that Litian would come to the door today to propose marriage. This is a lifelong event about Xi Yao, and he can't be sloppy, plus if Xi Yao can marry into the palace, it will be like a tiger for the Xi family in the current dynasty. So he took his concubines and subordinates early in the morning, and waited in the front hall for the arrival of the team that left the sky.

Xi Zhonglin watched the heroic Litian come to the gate, and led the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to salute Litian: "Knock on the prince!" ”

"Everyone, please get up!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Litian walked to Xi Zhonglin, and said straight to the point: "The prime minister should know the intention of this king today." ”

Xi Zhonglin bowed his waist and said with a compliment: "It is a blessing for the little girl to be favored by the prince, and it is also an honor for the family." ”

"Since the prime minister should have this family affair, then Leng Ran, you ordered them to bring the dowry in!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Leng Ran commanded Steward Li to take his subordinates and carry boxes of dowry gifts into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xi Zhonglin's answer made Litian feel very good, and he couldn't help but continue: "The day of marriage is set for the eighth day of the next month, what does the prime minister want?" ”

"Everything is arranged by the prince!"

"Good, good! And so the day was set. Litian laughed heartily. When everyone was busy with the bridal ceremony, he glanced around, but he didn't see the people he missed day and night, his face suddenly turned dark, and he asked solemnly: "Why didn't you see Xi Yao?" ”

Xi Zhonglin saw Litian who suddenly changed his face, and he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Xi Yao had firmly grasped Litian's heart. He shouted to Xiao Cui, who was standing aside: "Xiao Cui, you take the prince to see Miss!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"The prince is invited!"

Xiao Cui followed Xi Yao's instructions and brought Litian to the wing. Coming to the door of the wing, Xiaocui saluted slightly: "Lord Wang, Miss is inside." ”

"Then you go down!" After Litian finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Brother Tian." Xi Yao saw that it was Litian who walked in, and walked straight forward to hug him with joy.

Litian stroked her soft hair, and asked dotingly, "Do you miss this king?" ”

"Yes!" Xi Yao snuggled her head against his chest and whispered shyly.

"On the eighth day of the first month of next month, you will be the king's side concubine." Litian gently lifted Xi Yao's reddened little face with his fingers, and said gently: "It's good to let this king love you well, this king misses you." ”

"Hmm!" Xi Yao's originally flushed face looked even more attractive at the moment.

The plate of peony flowers in the corner of the room bloomed brightly in the warm airflow, and the center of the flower exuded a wisp of intoxicating floral fragrance.
