Qin Chaojiu didn't have any Xiao Changdui in her heart at this moment, all she was thinking about was the fact that Xiao Zhen had been to Gushan Town.

Lonely Mountain is where she grew up.

The noble person that Wen Ting said before was the person around Xiao Zhen.

Now, she learned from His Royal Highness the Ninth that Xiao Zhen had actually been to Gushan Town, all of which was a bit too coincidental.

If Xiao Zhen was going for her, then ...... How did Xiao Zhen know that she, a woman far away in the countryside, was the real daughter of the Hou Mansion?

Speaking of which, it was embarrassing for Xiao Hui, who obviously wanted to tell her about it, but he still had to say it through the mouth of Xiao Qi, His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness.

If Xiao Hui hadn't deliberately brought Xiao Qi to him, Xiao Qi wouldn't have been able to tell her even if he knew about it.

Xiao Hui and Xiao Zhen, as the biggest candidates for the crown prince, really have some ability.

Even she asked Xiao Changdui to investigate this matter, but now she has no eyebrows, and she was found by Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui wants to borrow a knife to kill people, right?

I just want to use her and Xiao Changdui's hands to deal with Xiao Zhen together.

After she finds out the facts, if Xiao Zhen really knows everything from beginning to end, or if it is his game from the beginning, she will definitely not let him go.

Before the banquet ended, Bai Wan was already sought after by many official wives and young ladies, and gradually floated, and the laughter became louder and louder, which caused the queen to look at her frequently.

Qin Jingxi was trying to talk to the queen mother throughout the banquet, coaxing the queen mother to be happy.

Seeing this at this time, she couldn't help but go over and grab Bai Wan, and reminded in a low voice, "Mother, we should go back, the queen mother has seen you twice."

Bai Wan instantly broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

Immediately realized that he had lost his temper, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Without waiting for Qin Jiang and Qin Guanjin father and son, Bai Wan took Qin Chaojiu and Qin Jingxi back first.

The old lady Qin of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion heard the news that Qin Jingxi and the others had returned, and immediately sent someone to inquire about the news of Concubine Ning's mother.

Bai Wan had a smile on her face: "Let's go, let's go and say hello to your grandmother together, and make your grandmother happy and happy about being named the county lord of Lingyi for a long time."

Everyone in the palace praised Qin Chaojiu today, Bai Wan listened to it a lot, and when she saw Qin Chaojiu, she felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than usual.

"Good news, Mother!"

As soon as Bai Wan entered the door, she said with a smile on her face.

Old Madam Qin's face suddenly showed a look of expectation: "But Concubine Ning gave birth to a prince?"

Bai Wan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, I didn't see Concubine Ning when I entered the palace today, so I asked the queen's mother, saying that Concubine Ning had a heavy stomach and it was inconvenient to participate in the Lantern Festival banquet, so as not to accidentally bump into her by too many people."

Old Madam Qin nodded suddenly: "That's right, she is about to give birth now, so it's better to go to a place where so many people don't go."

I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, and I thought about it, if Concubine Ning was really born, the palace would definitely send her news.

"What other good news did you just say?" Old Madam Qin asked again.

Bai Wan held the holy decree in both hands and personally put it in front of Old Madam Qin: "It was our dynasty that made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and won a reward from the county lord of Lingyi. Today at the Lantern Festival banquet, I have earned a lot of face for our Yongchang Hou Mansion, and many people who look down on our Hou Mansion on weekdays and feel that our Hou Mansion is ruined are all happy to me."

Old Madam Qin was a little surprised, and carefully read the content of the holy decree twice before muttering secretly, "It is really the dynasty that gave the seal."

Isn't it Jingxi?

Although she knew that Qin Jingxi hadn't done anything and it was impossible to get any reward, when she heard that someone in their Hou Mansion could get a reward, the first thing that Old Madam Qin thought of was Qin Jingxi.

"That's a good thing." Old Madam Qin raised her head and looked at Qin Chaojiu and said, "Up and down our Hou Mansion, no one has ever received such a reward, you are the first one, and you have indeed given our Hou Mansion a face, and neither has my grandmother."

If there is something good for you, you don't dislike this hairpin when it is old, it should be regarded as a celebratory gift for you."

Old Madam Qin touched a phoenix-tailed silver hairpin from her head and handed it to Qin Chaojiu.

"Thank you, grandmother, grandmother." When Qin Chaojiu took over this hairpin, he obviously felt the strength in Old Madam Qin's hand.

Seem...... I don't really want to give.

Qin Chaojiu moved his hand and snatched it up.

I said I wanted to give, and I didn't give half of it, do you want to try how strong she is?

A touch of distress flashed in Old Madam Qin's eyes, and she immediately closed her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, let's all step down, I'm a little tired and sleepy when I'm old."

Qin Chaojiu also felt a little sleepy, mainly because he had eaten too much at the banquet today, and most of the energy in his body was used to digest it, so he felt more and more sleepy.

But the bamboo knot pulled Qin Chaojiu up from the bed: "Miss, you are about to get married, you have to embroider the wedding dress quickly."

Qin Chaojiu suddenly shook a spirit: "I...... Didn't I invite an embroiderer?"

She also found two embroidery girls, she can't embroider her wedding dress, right?

"You'll have to embroider this hijab yourself, right? There is also a belly pocket, such a personal object, do you also want to find an embroiderer to help you?" Bamboo asked.

"No...... Can't you?" Qin Chaojiu asked rhetorically.

Zhujie was speechless, no matter how Qin Chaojiu felt that it didn't matter, he finally pressed Qin Chaojiu on the stool, and the needle and thread were quickly stuffed into her hands.

Qin Chaojiu was forced to start her path of embroidering wedding dresses.

The sky turned from dusk to pitch black, and several lights were lit in the room, and Dong Lotus said with some distress: "Why don't you let Miss go to sleep first, it's so late, Miss has already begun to yawn."

Zhujie said selflessly: "It's the fifteenth day of the first month today, and Miss is going to get married on the eighth day of the second month.

Dong Lotus knew that Zhujie had a point, so he could only get up and say, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and get some snacks for Miss."

"I'll go."

Tomhock took the initiative to say.

Qin Chaojiu didn't know how long he had been embroidering, but he felt as if his upper eyelids and lower eyelids were pulling each other, and he couldn't give up.

Feeling only a momentary pause in her mind, she collapsed into a man's arm.

Suddenly, Qin Chaojiu's eyes widened instantly.

It was so dangerous that I almost fell off the stool.

Huh?

How can there be a human face in front of you?

"Lord?!"

Qin Chaojiu suddenly screamed excitedly, hurriedly put the embroidery in his hand on the table, raised his hand and grabbed the man's arm: "Look, Lord Wang, I almost died of exhaustion in order to embroider this thing."

Such a coquettish tone, coupled with Qin Chaojiu's low voice due to sleepiness, inexplicably has a bit of charm.

Xiao Changdui's gaze swept over the table, and he was really amazed by Qin Chaojiu's exquisite embroidery skills for a moment.

"This king thinks that with your nature of stealing women and playing tricks, you will ask other embroiderers to embroider for you."

Qin Chaojiu suddenly felt a sense of weakness, she raised her head and said firmly, "How could that be? People in the world say that our customs are like this, how can I go against it, naturally I want to prepare for our newlywed marriage with a stitch and a thread full of affection."

"Hmm." Xiao Changdui nodded lightly, but he didn't feel half distressed about Qin Chaojiu, but said faintly: "This king thought that you were ready long before December last year."

Originally, their wedding date was set for December last year.

Look at Qin Chaojiu's progress now. Presumably, when he was temporarily sent to the northwest to lead the army to fight, her dowry had not yet started.

Qin Chaojiu's face was embarrassed, he snorted, and turned his head to change the topic: "Why did the prince come to me so late?"

"It's nothing, just passing by."

Qin Chaojiu raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the high wall outside the door

Up: "Passing by from such a high wall?"

Xiao Changdu: "......" Z.br>

This woman really can't speak.

Naturally, he came to see her on purpose, he just wasn't used to expressing his feelings so bluntly.

Qin Chaojiu seemed to have seen through Xiao Changdu's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked slightly.

She did it on purpose, who made him not talk well first, did she have to expose the fact that she didn't prepare a wedding dress last year?

What's wrong with her temporary cram, she is in a hurry, she is looking for embroidery girls to do it.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

Xiao Changdui looked at Qin Chaojiu with deep eyes, with obvious expectations for certain things in the depths of his eyes, and there was still a faint worry about it.

Qin Chaojiu understood Xiao Changdui's imperceptible feelings hidden in his eyes, but she didn't understand what he was expecting and worrying about.

Xiao Changdui secretly thought in her heart that she had just deliberately choked him with words, presumably because she was angry about the matter of the eldest princess.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chaojiu shook his head: "There is nothing I want to ask, but there is something I want to tell the prince."

"What?"

Qin Chaojiu told Xiao Changwan what Xiao Qi and himself said today.

Xiao Changdui was not surprised, but seemed to have known it for a long time.

"You know it all?" Qin Chaojiu was slightly surprised: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Changwei explained, "I only found out yesterday, and I planned to investigate thoroughly before telling you."

Qin Chaojiu immediately understood Xiao Changdui's plan: "Do you also think that there may be another hidden reason for me and Qin Jingxi to hold the wrong thing at the beginning?"

Xiao Changdui nodded: "Xiao Zhen left Beijing that time, originally going to Xianyang City, but he turned around halfway to Pingzhou and stayed for a few days before returning to Xianyang. He wouldn't have done that if it weren't for the exact information. Someone must have known a long time ago that you and Qin Jingxi were held by the wrong person."

Qin Chaojiu and Xiao Changdui fell into thinking at the same time, not knowing who the person behind this was, let alone why the other party was doing this.

Before Xiao Changdui left, he glanced at the red hijab of the dragon and phoenix on the table, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

But after returning to the Beimu Palace, the first thing Qingquan said when he came up was: "Lord, is the princess angry? The women in this world are all cautious, no matter who sees their own man holding another woman, they have to be angry, even if the princess-to-be is angry, it is reasonable, Lord Wang, you have already coaxed people, right?"

Xiao Changdui's little interest disappeared in an instant.

He didn't coax, because Qin Chaojiu was not angry at all.

He even went out of his way to ask her if he had anything to ask him, but she directly changed the topic.

The woman, it seems...... didn't take the matter of him taking Xiao Sulu away in a hurry at all.

Is she different from ordinary women, or does she not care about him at all?

"Shut up!"

Xiao Changdui looked back, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to have condensed into a cold blade, almost able to lock Qingquan's throat.

Qingquan instantly became dumb and didn't dare to say anything more.

There was a wail in my heart, careless.

Every time the prince came back from the princess-to-be, he was extremely happy, and just now he also saw that the prince seemed to be in a good mood, so he said a few more words.

Sure enough, the prince's mind cannot be guessed.
