Finally got all the dowries of the two daughters in the house, Bai Wan felt that all her energy was gone, and she fell ill directly, and lay in bed for three days before she got better.

Qin Jingxi waited at Bai Wan's bed every day.

Qin Chaojiu would also come every day, but I don't know if it was her illusion, she only felt that every time she came, her mother's complexion would be worse.

Later, he just stood at the door for a while and left.

Bai Wan really felt a lot happier in her heart.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month, a good day for the Lantern Festival.

The emperor set up a banquet to invite hundreds of officials, and the queen also invited the daughters of many officials to the harem to hold a lantern festival.

"Miss, this is the clothes that King Beimu specially sent to you, the material is as good as the slave has never seen, you can wear it and try it on."

Bamboo dragged a set of red and blue clothes with both hands in front of Qin Chaojiu.

Qin Chaojiu's eyes lit up: "Why did the prince specially prepare clothes for me?"

After she packed up and came to the palace with the carriage of the Marquis of Yongchang, and saw Xiao Changdui from a distance, Qin Chaojiu's doubts were finally explained.

It's just that the man's tall and straight figure is also wearing a red and blue contrasting robe.

The two glanced at each other from afar, even though the distance was far away, but the deep affection in each other's eyes was like lingering silk, outlining the hearts of the two of them in one place.

"The clothes prepared by the prince turned out to be a pair, no wonder they were specially sent to you, Miss." Dong Lotus laughed quietly, and deliberately said something that made Qin Chaojiu happy: "Prince Beimu's thoughts about you, Miss, now all the civil and military officials in the entire capital, inside and outside the palace, all know it."

The corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth rose, and he was not half cowardly and shy, but responded wantonly: "You are right, the prince's mind is really deep in my heart." Z.br>

These words made the winter lotus who knew how to cheer the most not know how to answer.

Qin Jingxi on the side shook her lips secretly, why has all the limelight been robbed by her since Qin Chaojiu came?

Obviously, in the past, everyone's eyes were on her alone.

Xiao Zhen was next to Xiao Changdui, but Xiao Changdui was looking at Qin Chaojiu, and Xiao Zhen ......

But she was busy talking and laughing with the courtiers on the side, and she didn't separate half of her eyes, she was clear, and she also wore the most beautiful clothes and combed the best hair.

Why didn't Xiao Zhen even want to take a look at her?

Why can Qin Dynasty be long?

"Mother, a lot of people are watching us, let's go quickly." Qin Jingxi lowered her head and pretended to be shy.

Seeing this, Bai Wan immediately secretly lowered her voice and said to Qin Chaojiu, "Chaojiu, you go quickly, what are you doing slowly."

It is true that she is not proud that Qin Chaojiu has received too much attention.

But if it was Qin Jingxi who was looked at like this, she would definitely be full of smiles.

This is true of all the feelings in this world, whether it is love, friendship or family affection.

Love and not love, it's always so obvious.

Qin Chaojiu retracted his gaze and walked beside Bai Wan silently, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but his gaze fell on Qin Jingxi's body: "Sister, look, is the one in front of you the cousin of the He family?"

Qin Jingxi's eyes were looking into the distance, and when He Jiani's face appeared in sight, Qin Jingxi almost didn't hold back her gentle and demure character.

She endured and endured, almost crushing a mouthful of back teeth before she finally endured.

She is a concubine who can't be on the stage, why can she come to such an occasion?

It's shameless!

Everyone sat down in turn, and the queen mother suddenly opened her mouth and called Qin Chaojiu over, with a gentle smile on her face, she looked at Qin Chaojiu and said: "It is said that Jiangmen Huzi, Yongchang Houfu was also the queen of Jiangmen in the early years, Miss Qin Er is worthy of being the young lady of the Qin family, and she can have such courage to follow King Beimu to the northwest, which really impresses the palace."

Qin Chaojiu lowered his eyes humbly: "Empress

Niang Niang Miao praised."

Well, she's not always been humble either.

Proper humility, in the presence of the right people, she learned from the host.

"You can afford the praise of this palace, you are a daughter's family, and you have not read poetry and books since you were a child, but you can design such a powerful snow trebuchet, this palace used to feel strange, why did King Beimu choose you, but now, this palace has some understanding. Looking at this woman in the world, there is no second woman who can be as good as you."

Xiao Sulu, the eldest princess of Jueshun, followed the words of the queen mother: "Yes, it can be seen that Miss Qin Er must be very concerned about King Beimu."

The queen mother looked at the eldest princess Jueshun with a smile: "Jueshun is right, the marriage between you and King Beimu is also approaching, and the palace has also specially prepared a gift for you, firstly, to thank you for creating such a powerful thing for our Dayue soldiers with a woman's body, and even the emperor praised our women."

"Second, this gift is for you and King Beimu's wedding gift."

The queen's mother finished speaking, and there was a grandmother on the side who had already prepared the gift in front of Qin Chaojiu.

"Courtiers, thank you, Queen."

Qin Chaojiu immediately knelt on the ground and made a big gift to the queen, and his hands were gifted.

The grandmother on the side reminded, "Second Miss Qin, don't you want to see what the queen mother gave you?"

The gift was covered with a piece of red silk, which Qin Chaojiu opened in public, and it was a huge pearl.

"It's ......"

Everyone was stunned.

Someone recognized it with sharp eyes and couldn't help covering their mouths.

The queen's eyes also fell on the pearl, with a little nostalgia for the past in her expression, she slowly spoke: "This is the pearl on the crown of the crown when the palace was canonized as the crown princess, and the reason why she was given to Miss Qin Er is also the emperor's intention."

"Second Miss Qin went to the northwest and designed such a sharp weapon, although she can't be promoted to a knighthood like a man, she should also be rewarded as she deserves. This second reward is the will of God. Miss Qin Er is brave and fearless, loyal, and does not let her eyebrows go, and she has made great contributions to my Dayue in the war with the Northwest, and she is specially rewarded as the lord of Lingyi County, and given the fief of Lingyi County, Pingzhou."

"Lord Lingyi, take the order."

Qin Chaojiu only felt that a huge pie suddenly smashed on his head. Compared with various other rewards, the reward of this "county lord" is indeed surprising.

Qin Chaojiu hurriedly knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to the queen: "The courtiers kneel to thank the emperor and the queen!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live the queen."

"County Lord Lingyi, get up quickly."

The queen mother smiled and helped Qin Chaojiu up, and said two more words before letting her go back with the holy decree and reward.

Bai Wan hurriedly put away the holy decree, and the whole person seemed to be restless, for fear that one would accidentally bump the holy decree.

And this pearl that Qin Chaojiu got for a long time seemed to be another invisible slap on Qin Jingxi's face.

As soon as Qin Chaojiu sat down, a group of ladies and ladies came over to say goodbye.

Shen Yajun obviously lost a lot of weight, she came to Qin Chaojiu, took her hand and her eyes were full of excitement: "I thought that the person who could fight for our women should be me, but I didn't expect such a good opportunity to be in the limelight to be robbed by you."

Shen Yajun sighed and said: "Alas, I have watched my grandfather, father and brothers practice martial arts and soldiers since I was a child, and I have also practiced with my brothers since I was a child, I always dreamed of going to the battlefield, but I have grown so big, although I have also stayed in the military camp, but I have never really been to the battlefield, Chaojiu, I really want to envy you to death."

Qin Chaojiu laughed: "I can see it, your face is full of envy, jealousy and hatred."

There were a lot of people around who talked to Qin Chaojiu, but most of Qin Chaojiu was polite and perfunctory, and he could only chat happily with Shen Yajun.

Seeing this, the other official ladies didn't want to interject again, so they went to Bai Wan and Qin Jingxi to say some words of congratulations.

He Jiani naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

She came from Qin Jingxi's front affectionately: "Congratulations to the fifth aunt, cousin Chaojiu actually won the reward of the county lord, and the other county lords and county lords, if it is through the light of the father at home, if it is through the light of the brother in the family, we can have such a reward, but we can get the title of the county lord with our own ability, it is really powerful."

These polite words are naturally not the point.

I only heard He Jiani's words and said, "The most important thing is that Cousin Chaojiu will be able to have smooth sailing from now on, after all, she is another person who has obtained the pearl on the phoenix crown after our grandmother."

This "Gongming Zhengda" He Jiani said nine twists and eighteen turns, obviously used to deliberately stimulate Qin Jingxi.

Qin Jingxi was really angry, and she looked at He Jiani coldly with a beautiful face.

"Cousin Jiani, you are the concubine of the Second Highness, it is not appropriate to stand here and talk to us girls who have not yet left the cabinet, right?"

He Jiani went to cover her mouth and laughed: "Cousin is not right in what she said, the queen mother organized this Lantern Festival banquet, and I happen to be a person from the second highness, and the queen mother is also down-to-earth with me, so there is nothing strange about me here."

Qin Jingxi naturally didn't dare to say that there was anything wrong with the queen's arrangement, even if there was nothing to say.

I don't know who said what in the crowd, but there were a few girls laughing around not far away, which attracted everyone's attention for a while.

Qin Chaojiu also raised his eyes and saw a woman with a smile on her face.

The woman was wearing a short orange jacket and a milky white skirt inlaid with rabbit hair, and she wore a simple style of falling ponytail, with good facial features, and the most eye-catching thing was her wanton and cheerful laughter.

Qin Chao didn't know her for a long time, and Shen Yajun on the side reminded, "This is the county lord of Yongjia, the person who the Holy Lord assigned to marry my fourth brother."

Qin Chao was stunned for a long time: "But she still looks young."

Shen Yajun nodded: "She is only twelve years old this year, and my fourth brother is going to keep filial piety for three years, and after three years, she will also reach the age of marriage."

"The lord of Yongjia is also a daughter who grew up on horseback, and I heard that among the daughters who were once in our capital, equestrianism was the first. But now, I'm afraid I can only be second. This time, the county lord of Lingyi rode a horse and arrested someone on the battlefield and made military achievements."

Xiao Sulu suddenly smiled at Qin Chaojiu, finished speaking with praise, and poured another sentence: "The county lord of Lingyi is brave and strategic, brave enough to go into battle to kill the enemy, can draw drawings as weapons, and made such a powerful thing in a short period of time with Lord Shen, such a tacit understanding, I think it is also the acquaintance and sympathy of the strong."

A lady on the side chimed in: "Yes, I heard that Second Miss Qin and Lord Shen studied together day and night before making that trebuchet, such feelings and tacit understanding, I'm afraid that my brothers and sisters can't do it."

The bright flower-like smile on the face of the county lord of Yongjia gradually dissipated little by little after hearing these voices.

Her big black grape-like eyes slowly lifted and looked in the direction of Qin Chaojiu.
