When Xiao Lingjun got the news, he was sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion with several sisters in Beijing to enjoy the flowers.

Among them is Liang Jing, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing Ruyan whispering a few words in Xiao Lingjun's ear, Liang Jing couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked casually, "But what's the matter with you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lingjun said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the maid said just now that the eldest brother is back and went to the study to find his father, so I came to remind me and asked me to say hello to a few young ladies. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the girls sitting in the courtyard immediately changed slightly, and they glanced at each other, and the atmosphere between them became strange.

Xiao Lingjun took a sip of the cup, but smiled silently.

Liang Jing is a generous person, listening to Xiao Lingjun's words, he only paused, and then said with a smile: "Also, there must be something important for the prince to go to find the prince, if you delay the prince, it is not good." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned a few young ladies to have refreshments.

Over there, Qingxing, who was next to Princess Yanbei, came over to look for Xiao Lingjun, saying that the princess was looking for her.

Xiao Lingjun looked at Qingxing and blinked, immediately understood in his heart, and smiled and took Liang Jing's arm: "Sister Liang Jing go with me, the mother concubine has always said that she likes Sister Liang Jing very much, and it is rare for my sister to come to the house today, and it is good to accompany me to let the mother concubine take a look." ”

Hearing this, Liang Jing showed a little embarrassment on his face, and then looked at Xiao Lingjun's expectation, looking like he couldn't refuse, and nodded helplessly: "Okay." ”

Follow Xiao Lingjun towards the backyard.

Although this is the second time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, it is all in Xiao Lingjun's courtyard, and he is not familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liang Jing walked and looked around with her spare eyes, very absent-minded.

Even Xiao Lingjun's words didn't listen.

When he realized that Xiao Lingjun was looking at him, he responded in a panic: "Lingjun is sorry, can you say it again." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lingjun smiled, looking very helpless: "Sister, I mean that my stomach is very uncomfortable and I want to go to the clean room, can you wait for me here first?"

Xiao Lingjun said, pointing to the clean room not far away.

Liang Jing nodded, and then took the maid to sit down on the stone bench beside him.

Qingxing and Ruyan accompanied Xiao Lingjun straight to the clean room.

Seeing that Liang Jing couldn't see it, Xiao Lingjun said softly: "Will the eldest brother really come?"

Hearing this, Qingxing nodded: "Don't worry, the princess has already asked Pomegranate to invite the eldest brother, and it is estimated that the time is almost over." ”

Xiao Lingjun nodded when he heard this, and went directly into the clean room, letting Ruyan serve him, leaving Qingxing to watch the movement outside the door.

Xiao Huaijin followed the pomegranate all the way to the backyard, not knowing that Liang Jing was here.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a woman sitting on a stone bench.

Hearing the footsteps, Liang Jing also subconsciously turned around, and was about to greet with a smile.

But when he saw Xiao Lingjun, his face was stunned for a moment, and then two blushes floated.

Stand up.

The maid who was waiting on the side was also startled, and Pomegranate saw this and stepped forward to bless her body: "The slave Pomegranate has seen Miss Liang." ”

After speaking, he turned to Xiao Huaijin and said, "Shizi, this is Miss Liang Jingliang in the mansion of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin remembered what King Yanbei and Princess Yan said, and his heart suddenly jumped, and then he looked at Liang Jing's eyes with a little more coldness.

"Huai Jin doesn't know that Miss Liang is here, if there is any abruptness, please forgive Miss Liang. ”

Liang Jing was blessed immediately when he heard this, lowered his head and said: "It's Liang Jing who didn't know that the prince was coming, and asked the prince to forgive me." ”

After speaking, I wanted to speak, but I didn't know how to speak.

Xiao Huaijin looked at the pomegranate when he saw this, what else did he not know.

Princess Yanbei just mentioned this family matter to herself before, and it was only half a day, and she met in the mansion, which must have been calculated by them.

Knowing that it was a bureau, he didn't want to stay for a long time.

He said sorry and took the pomegranate and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed by Liang Jing's side, he heard an exclamation.

Liang Jing subconsciously leaned over towards Xiao Huaijin, Xiao Huaijin reached out and grabbed Liang Jing's arm, only then did he see a snake appear in the yard, although it was the kind of cauliflower snake that was not poisonous, but it also scared Liang Jing's master and servant a lot.

Liang Jing's face turned even pale, and she grabbed Xiao Huaijin's arm tightly.

Xiao Huaijin glanced at July, and July immediately stepped forward to grab the cauliflower snake with his bare hands and walked outside.

Watching July catch the snake away, Liang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also scared to the point that her scalp was numb.

"Miss Liang, it's okay. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin had a colder look in his eyes, which was obviously deliberately put by them.

Otherwise, it looks like winter is approaching, how can there be snakes in the backyard of this Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Liang Jing heard this, she realized that she was still holding Xiao Huaijin's clothes, and immediately let go, her face even more blushing.

"Shizi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The voice was weak, and he didn't even dare to look at Xiao Huaijin's face.

Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin shook his head and just instructed Pomegranate: "Since Miss Liang is here for the banquet, why don't you hurry up and let someone send Miss Liang back to the banquet, the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the yard don't know how to clean it now, if something comes out again, it scares people, and the mother concubine will definitely blame you at that time." ”

Hearing this, Pomegranate quickly bowed her head in response, and turned to call the maid near the yard.

Xiao Huaijin arched his hand with a cold face and was about to leave.

But he was called by Liang Jing: "Xiao Shizi stays." ”

Xiao Huaijin had to turn around when she heard this: "I don't know what else Miss Liang has to do?"

If Liang Jing was still very ashamed just now, but after listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, she calmed down.

suppressed the shyness in his heart, and stared at Xiao Huaijin with a pair of big eyes: "It's not that I ran out on purpose, in order to come to see Shizi, the reason why I am here is that Lingjun asked me to accompany her to the backyard to see the princess, and suddenly my stomach was upset and I went to the clean room, so I will wait here, so please don't misunderstand Xiao Shizi." ”

Xiao Huaijin looked at Liang Jing when he heard this, and he lost his mind for a moment.

Although her appearance is thousands of miles apart, the eyes in her eyes when she spoke just now were very similar to when she saw Hua Zhen in the carriage.

The first time I saw her in my mind, I was in a trance, as if everything was yesterday.

"Xiao Shizi?" Seeing Xiao Huaijin's gaze as if looking away through himself, Liang Jing felt slightly unhappy in his heart.

Xiao Huaijin came back to her senses when she heard this, glanced at Liang Jing, and then turned her head and said, "I know, I didn't misunderstand, and please Miss Liang don't misunderstand." ”

After saying that he was leaving, Liang Jing strode directly in front of Xiao Huaijin.

She is a Jiangnan woman, not tall, standing in front of Xiao Huaijin more and more petite, only enough to reach Xiao Huaijin's chest.

At this moment, in front of Xiao Huaijin, looking at his eyes, he needed to raise his head.

Xiao Huaijin didn't know what Liang Jing was going to do, and frowned slightly.

I heard Liang Jing speak: "Since Lingjun asked me to accompany her to the backyard, I actually knew what she wanted to do, or I knew what the princess wanted to do." I could have refused, but I came with it, not to be aside, just to see my future husband. I can be regarded as seeing it today, there is a sentence that I have always wanted to ask Xiao Shizi, although it is a little abrupt, but for the sake of the future, I can't care so much. ”

"Dare to ask Xiao Shizi, are you willing to do this family business?" Liang Jing said, the hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin's eyes did not fluctuate, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth at Liang Jing: "I don't want to." ”

After speaking, in Liang Jing's stunned eyes, he said even colder words.

"And I won't marry you, whoever it means. ”

After speaking, he directly crossed Liang Jing and did not stop for a moment.

Liang Jing was completely stunned when she saw this, and it took a long time before she reacted, looked back at Xiao Huaijin's back and said, "Even if you don't want to, you can't change anything, this family affair has been decided, and if you don't wait long, I will marry into the Xiao family and become your wife." ”

But Xiao Huaijin's body didn't stop at all, and disappeared directly into the Hanging Flower Gate.

Liang Jing only felt that her nose was slightly sour when she saw this, and her eyes were red with grievance.

Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly said, "Miss, don't be sad, it's not good for someone to see it later." ”

Hearing this, Liang Jing wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Xiao Lingjun hid in the clean room and watched the trouble like this, so it was not good to continue to hide, so he came out with the maid as if he didn't know anything.

looked at Liang Jing and immediately said: "Sister has made you wait for so long, Lingjun is really embarrassed, it's just that I seem to have a bad stomach, and now I want to go back first and find a doctor to take a look." Sister, can you accompany me back for a while, the mother concubine will wait for the doctor to see, let's go again. ”

Hearing this, Liang Jing nodded and followed Xiao Lingjun back to the house.

Princess Yanbei watched Xiao Huaijin come in, and the pomegranate following behind her shook her head, and the look in her eyes immediately darkened.

"Did you see Miss Liang?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin nodded, looking at the disappointment in Princess Yanbei's eyes, but she didn't back down at all: "Mother don't do this in the future, unless she stands in front of me, no one will be able to enter my eyes." ”

Hearing this, Princess Yanbei couldn't help but sigh: "Huai Jin, why bother? You and her are already doomed, now you are the son of Dayan, she is the princess of Nanzhao, you can never be together, why do you have to force yourself so much." Wouldn't it be nice to let her go and let yourself go?"

Xiao Huaijin laughed when she heard this, but this smile was a little bleak: "What the mother concubine said is that I have no possibility with her anymore, I can't be by her side, can I even be deprived of the qualification to love her?"

One sentence seemed to completely anger Princess Yanbei, and the princess reached out and slapped Xiao Huaijin in the face: "You sober up, you have no possibility, it has never been possible." She was destined to die from the beginning, Huai Jin should stop ruining herself for a person who is destined to die, okay!"
