Xiao Zhen's hand was still gently and gently hugging Qin Jingxi, but the words he said were not half warm.

Qin Jingxi was already stunned at the moment, almost stupid.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Qin Jingxi stammered unconsciously as she spoke.

Xiao Zhen stared at Qin Jingxi coldly: "Now that it's happened, do you still want to deliberately lie in front of this palace? Are you a fool when this palace is? Now that this palace can be found, you should understand that this palace is not empty words."

In the next moment, Qin Jingxi suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", and she hugged Xiao Zhen's thigh in a panic: "I know that I made a mistake, Your Highness, but the person who made the mistake was the Wen family, and I am just an innocent baby, but if this matter is known by my father and mother, and they find their biological daughter again, they will definitely drive me away." I can't go, Your Highness, I can't leave the Hou Mansion, and I can't lose you!" z.br>

Qin Jingxi was shocked and frightened, and her crying was even more sincere.

"Your Highness, please don't tell my father and mother about this matter, for the sake of the courtier's sincerity to you, help the courtier."

Xiao Zhen looked down at Qin Jingxi condescendingly, with a little helplessness in his voice: "Didn't this palace already help you? If this palace wasn't there to help you, it wouldn't have pierced you in front of you alone. But you ......."

Hearing the coldness and detachment in Xiao Zhen's tone, Qin Jingxi's body stiffened.

"You know everything the Wen family has done, but you choose to hide it for your own selfishness, where do you put the Yongchang Marquis and his wife like this? If they really want to care, your own mother will not be their guest, but an enemy. Do you think your biological mother and your brother can still be treated like they are now?"

Xiao Zhen sneered: "But this palace thinks that you and I still have some affection after all, so I will give you a chance."

Qin Jingxi raised her head suddenly, with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"You took the initiative to tell the Marquis of Yongchang that you don't want to marry the palace, so let the Marquis of Yongchang go and ask the emperor to avoid the marriage contract between you and me."

As soon as Xiao Zhen's words fell, Qin Jingxi's eyes were full of disbelief: "Why? Your Highness, are you wrong, ...... Don't you like me the most? How can the marriage contract between you and me be annulled?"

"Huh."

Xiao Zhen sneered twice, this laughter made Qin Jingxi's expression even more ugly, and that heart was like a stone in the water, sinking all the way.

"You should know that you are not the biological daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang, and this palace is still willing to admit the marriage contract with you, but it is only for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Yongchang, but you are really disappointed by the palace."

He opened his mouth coldly, and looked at the kneeling woman on the ground with a little disdain and sarcasm.

"I thought that you could have a good relationship with Miss Qin Er, if you could win King Beimu to this palace, it would be considered that you would be of some use, but now, you are not only useless, you and the Wen family still have such a deal, even if you are cautious, this palace can find out today, and others will find out in the future, one day, you will become the abandoned son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, you tell this palace, if it comes to that day, what is the use of this palace marrying you?"

Xiao Zhen's words were like a basin of cold water, which was ruthlessly poured on Qin Jingxi's head.

How so?

Hasn't he always been fond of himself?

He has now become such a useless person in his mouth.

"No, Your Highness, you can't do without me, I'm already sixteen years old, and everyone in the world knows that I'm your person, if you don't want me, I might as well go and die!"

In the past sixteen years, she has always thought that she is the daughter of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion who holds the stars and the moon, she has the parents who love her the most, and three brothers who love her very much.

She used to think she was the happiest person.

Knowing the arrival of Qin Chaojiu.

It was as if she had fallen from the sky to the ground, and even in her dreams she dreamed that everyone was pointing at her nose and saying that she was

It's a village girl, she's a fake.

After waking up from her dreams countless times, she told herself that it didn't matter.

Even if her real identity is not the real daughter of the Hou Mansion, she will be the real second princess in the future, and she will still sit in a noble position beyond everyone's reach.

Therefore, she was too afraid of losing Xiao Zhen.

No, she must not lose Xiao Zhen.

She will definitely be useful, she will definitely be someone who is useful to Xiao Zhen.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, listen to me, although I can't win over King Beimu, I can help you pull Old General Shen over, so that Old General Shen and General Shen are all loyal to you."

Qin Jingxi's eyes turned wildly, and at this juncture, a very crazy thought suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Are you talking nonsense?"

Xiao Zhen obviously didn't quite believe what she said at this moment, but he had always known that words could not be said to death, and he had to say that Qin Jingxi's words really aroused his interest.

Qin Jingxi raised her head suddenly, she grabbed Xiao Zhenyi's hand, and unconsciously clenched it a little.

"What I said is true, if Your Highness joins forces with me, this matter has a better chance of success." Qin Jingxi's eyes were dyed with madness, and she secretly told herself in her heart that as long as she could keep Her Second Highness and stabilize her position as the Second Prince's Concubine, then it would be worth doing everything.

Not to mention...... If she does this, she may be able to help Shen Yajun and her second brother.

Xiao Zhen's gaze fell on Qin Jingxi's face: "Don't sell it."

"Miss Shen Wu has a deep affection for my second brother, and my second brother also has a secret affection for Miss Shen Wu. Although I don't know why they obviously like each other, but they have never expressed their intentions, but as long as they use some means to satisfy the wishes of Miss Shen Wu and my second brother, although General Shen's Mansion does not directly submit to Your Highness, it is only a matter of time before my second brother's affection for me is a matter of time."

Qin Jingxi deliberately did not say anything about the relationship between the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion and her, because at this moment, she was no longer sure whether Qin Jiang and Bai Wan, once they learned what Wen Ting had done, would still be able to treat her as their own as always.

But she believes that Qin Guanming can.

Qin Guanming has always loved her the most, and after he was sick last time, he took care of her day and night, it was impossible for him not to be grateful.

"What did you say?!"

Before she could sort out the complicated thoughts in her heart, Xiao Zhen's angry voice sounded in her ears.

"You said, Miss Shen Wu and your second brother have already developed feelings for each other?" Xiao Zhen's eyes widened.

No wonder!

No wonder he and the third child have been courteous for so long, not only did General Shen's Mansion not react, but even Shen Yajun didn't say anything.

It turns out that the beauty already has a place in her heart.

Xiao Zhen narrowed his eyes, remembering the appearance of the second son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in his mind, and said mockingly: "Is that the Qin Guanming who has not yet obtained fame in the examination, and only then took a look at the title of Xiucai?"

"Yes, my second brother is preparing for next year's Jinshi scientific examination." Qin Jingxi responded weakly.

"Hehehe, do you know why Miss Shen Wu didn't marry your second brother?" Xiao Zhen suddenly squinted his eyes and asked.

Qin Jingxi shook her head.

Xiao Zhen's gaze fell on Qin Jingxi's body, and the frustration that had been obtained from Shen Yajun all this time was finally relieved at this moment.

He slowly bent down, grabbed Qin Jingxi's hands, helped her up from the ground, and looked at her with a look that returned to the tenderness and sweetness he had at the beginning.

"Jingxi, it's really thanks to you. Don't worry, the matter between your second brother and Miss Shen Wu, this palace will definitely help you to promote this good thing."

Xiao Zhen spoke slowly, and he agreed to Qin Jingxi's proposal just now.

Qin Jingxi's uneasy mood fluctuated again: "Thank you, Your Highness, that courtier......

"Silly girl, you have always been the treasure of Bengong's heart, and Bengong just said some heartless words, and it was only because he suddenly learned that your biological mother Wen had done evil things

If you feel angry, you will be implicated, but after all, this matter is not your fault, although you cover up for your mother, it is not wrong, she is your biological mother after all, you can be regarded as filial piety, this palace should understand your difficulties."

It's really a human mouth, how can it be reasonable.

The same thing, just now he could accuse her of misconduct with righteous words, but instead, he praised her filial piety.

It's ridiculous.

"Okay, don't cry, you see, your eyes are red from crying, and when you see it by Yongchang Hou, you must think that I am bullying you."

Xiao Zhen said, and personally took out his handkerchief to wipe away Qin Jingxi's tears.

"Second Highness, the lord and the lady have set up a banquet, and invite the second highness to go."

The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion personally came to the door of the flower hall, looked at the closed door, hesitated slightly, and stood a few steps away from the door, shouting loudly.

Soon, the figures of Xiao Zhen and Qin Jingxi walked out of the flower hall one after another.

"Watch out for the steps."

Xiao Zhen gently and considerately helped Qin Jingxi, and her voice was as sweet as being dipped in sugar water.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Jingxi hung her head and thanked her, her voice a little hoarse.

The old butler and the rest of the people thought that their eldest lady was shy, and did not realize that she had cried.

After the two of them walked away, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion came into the flower hall to clean up tea, cakes and other things, and couldn't help but sigh: "His Royal Highness is too good to our eldest lady, so careful and considerate."

"Yes, and the eyes of the Second Highness are all our eldest lady, no wonder the Hou Ye and Mrs. are so relieved. But you say, is it the second prince and Miss Guo who get married first, or our eldest lady and the second highness get married first?"

"I think it should be the second son, the second highness and our eldest lady haven't even decided on their relationship yet, there is no etiquette to go at all, it shouldn't be so fast."

"That's right."
