Yan Zheng tilted her head, and she continued: "Can a marriage contract with a woman as a sacrifice really restrain the abnormal heart? If you want to break the agreement and tear up the treaty, you can raise troops on a large scale, but what about the woman? But some people have thought about them, far away from their homeland and far away, they are only afraid that they will not be able to come back in this life, and they are afraid all day long, but they dare not have half a word of complaint, today is a princess who is honored and honored, and what about tomorrow? ”

Yan Zheng opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak, so she continued: "I am the lord of the county, and my status is as important as the princess, now that the marriage contract with your brother has been cancelled, my marriage has become unknown, what if I need to stand up one day?" ”

Ruan Mingjiao seemed to be drunk, and said what she thought in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Yan Zheng, he didn't know what kind of emotion in his eyes, he only looked at her in a daze, Ruan Mingjiao raised a smile on her lips, "That's it, what am I doing with you?" How do you understand that you are a man, I am respected by all the people, and contributing to the Jiangshan Society of the Northern Dawn is what I should do. ”

She turned and walked a few steps, Yan Zheng standing in place

"No, the county lord will not be a tool to stabilize the country, and there will be no such day with a lower official."

He turned his head and met Ruan Mingjiao's gaze, his tone was unusually determined, and his eyes were firm.

Ruan Mingjiao smiled instead, and the two continued to walk forward, almost as if they were about to escape from the cage.

Yuan Ying was waiting outside the palace gate, and he was sitting bored in the carriage, and the palace gate opened and he looked at it. Songbao helped Ruan Mingjiao out, he took a few steps forward, Ruan Mingjiao frowned, a little tired, he hurriedly pulled the horse a few steps forward and opened the curtain: "County lord be careful!" ”

Ruan Mingjiao approached the sedan chair with her head bowed, and before she could lift her feet, Yan Zheng behind her suddenly called, "County Lord stay, you have something left here with Xiaguan." ”

Ruan Mingjiao's eyes suddenly brightened, and as soon as she turned around, Yan Zheng walked up, took out a dagger from her arms and handed it to her.

Then the moonlight Ruan Mingjiao saw the dagger clearly, it was a token of her victory in the Keju competition, her eyes lit up, and she was a little surprised, "It turns out that this is Lord Yan's thing, and the workmanship is so exquisite, it seems to be an important thing, even so." ”

"County Lord!" Ruan Mingjiao was just about to push the dagger back, but Yan Zheng had already withdrawn his hand, took a few steps back, and continued: "Since I have already accepted the gambling goods of the county lord, this dagger should naturally be taken by the county lord. ”

Ruan Mingjiao's eyelashes twitched, and she smiled thickly, and Yan Zheng's eyes fell on her right hand, "I was rescued by the county lord that day, I don't know if the county lord's injury is better?" ”

Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, looked down at her right hand, and raised it a few times as if it was proof, "It's much better, but if it weren't for Lord Yan, I wouldn't have been injured, and Lord Yan didn't have to take this little thing to heart." ”

She rolled her eyes and handed the dagger to Song Bao, "I drank too much wine today, and I babbled a few words of nonsense, and I hope Lord Yan doesn't mind." ”

Yan Zheng bowed his hand, Ruan Mingjiao got into the soft sedan chair, and left with the wheels purring.

Pei Jing changed his clothes, and the personal guards greeted him, "My subordinates have inquired, those children were instructed by others, and my subordinates sent people to survey the vicinity, and only Yan Zheng passed by nearby." ”

Pei Jing had expected that there were many people who knew that he was afraid of water, but there were few who dared to calculate him like this, and Yan Zheng came not long after he fell into the water, if you want to say that it is not his ghost, you can believe it.

He said indignantly, slamming his clenched fist on the table, not feeling the slightest pain, "Yan Zheng, despicable and shameless!" Where is he. ”

"Now it's time to send the county lord out of the palace gate." The guards hurriedly reported.

"Got it, send someone to find Wei Qing." His eyes were fierce, and he said no more.

As Ruan Mingjiao guessed, early in the morning of the second day, the will to give marriage came down, and the second prince of Daye and Princess An Le of Northern Dawn formed a marriage and worked together for the two countries.

Beili and Daye began to help and teach since the previous dynasty, the two countries attach great importance to this affection, trade is even more, the folk customs are gradually getting closer, customs and habits have begun to have each other's shadows, the emperor of Daye likes the customs of Beili the most, and encourages everyone to purchase tea from Beili, porcelain jewelry back to Daye to sell.

The will is to hurry up and hurry to the wedding, the Ministry of Rites plans to time, and the etiquette will be sent to the cabinet for inspection, so these days the first assistant is not busy at all, the whole court is also in a hurry, and the guard protection should also be strengthened, the wedding night worshiped the emperor, after the sacrifice was completed, Xiao Ruohan wanted to leave the capital with the great cause.

Ruan Mingjiao is idle, these days he followed Yuan Ying to Yang Sui's place to learn painting, Yang Suizhi is not like a serious private school gentleman, lectures are lively and interesting, often integrate their own opinions into the painting, or tell a story so that Ruan Mingjiao understands.

Ruan Mingjiao studied psychology in modern times, and in order to be good at expression, she often observed people's demeanor and movements, even faint movements, when speaking.

If you are nervous, your eyes will be evasive, and recently you have been squirming or reaching out to touch the tip of your nose, in order to make them more memorable, the teacher often asks them to simulate the looks and movements of various characters under Xingtai, so she deliberately went to learn a few lessons, and it is not difficult to get started.

Yang Suizhi saw that her foundation was good, and he was full of relief and looked at it for a while, and walked to the peach tree on the side to enjoy the shade, the peach blossoms had been scattered clean, and they had borne small fruits, he leaned on the recliner, pulled a chicken leg, and panicked on the recliner quite leisurely.

A sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, the aroma of meat wrapped in a strong aroma of wine, went straight to Ruan Mingjiao and Yuan Ying's noses, Yuan Ying was even more greedy and swallowed saliva, originally wanted to go far away but was afraid that if Ruan Mingjiao wanted to grind the inkstone alone, he could only sit in front of the bookcase with a hungry stomach.

Excessively! Ruan Mingjiao took a deep breath, her eyes flew towards Yang Suizhi like a blade, and her eyes breathed fire to see Yang Suizhi's emotions soaring.

Yang Suizhi noticed this sharp gaze, looked sideways, and when he saw Ruan Mingjiao's eyes, he couldn't help shaking the greasy chicken leg in his hand and fell to the ground, he hugged himself quite fearfully, "Look, what are you looking at?" ”

Ruan Mingjiao frowned slightly, lost the pen in his hand, got up angrily, strode towards him, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Suizhi's collar: "Let me paint there day and night, but you are a shopkeeper who drinks and eats meat here, I ask you what about my paintings?" ”

Yang Sui trembled, and Yuan Ying beside him drew his sword, he was stunned, and a trace of fear flashed in his shallow eyes, "You, you are disrespectful to the teacher, wolf heart and dog lungs, spread out!" ”

His two beards trembled with excitement, and he reached out to pull Ruan Mingjiao's hand away, "Disrespectful to the teacher? As for my paintings, aren't you cheating on me, aren't you saying that they will be fine soon? ”

Ruan Mingjiao let him go, and asked pretending to question.

Yang Suizhi smoothed his wrinkled collar and said with a smile, "You kid is still quite anxious, I have already painted the painting, you give me some more time, and then I will have someone send you to the house." ”

As he spoke, he was about to reach out and pat Ruan Mingjiao's shoulder, Ruan Mingjiao's newly changed robe today was almost destroyed by his greasy hand, and an eye knife passed, so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Ruan Mingjiao pulled up a smile and looked at him a few times, "It seems that I made a mistake and disturbed the master's painting here, Yuan Ying, we will leave after packing up the things." ”

She wants to leave, Yang Suizhi's face is happy, he accepts apprentices is just a pretense, seeing that Yan Zheng asked him to take care of this girl more, he himself likes it, but this girl has a bad temper, he guides painting, talks about his romantic past and is despised by him, and he will be caught and scolded when he goes out to drink with people, I don't know whether to accept apprentices or raise an ancestor.

He was originally happy, but Yuan Ying hugged the wine jug and took away the roast chicken, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to block it, "Hey, hey, what is this?" I haven't finished eating yet? ”

Ruan Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I see that the master is getting mellower and mellow, this is lazy as soon as he gets fat, these days I haven't seen progress is all the temptation of food and wine, and this is to help you relieve your desire." ”

"Quit what desires, quit what desires, let go! I didn't say I wouldn't draw. ”

He stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Ying to dodge, Ruan Mingjiao stepped forward to block him, with a smiling face, "If you want to eat wine and meat, draw it as soon as possible, otherwise not only today, but I won't let people send it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if you don't paint it, I can't help it, don't you have a bunch of fox friends and dog friends?" Let them eat and drink! ”

Her smile stopped abruptly and said loudly, "Yuan Ying, let's go!" ”

"Hey, stinky girl, how can you talk!" Yang Suizhi watched his roast chicken wine disappear, but he couldn't, he wanted to cry without tears, and sighed What kind of life is this, he has no wife and children to control, and when he is old, he will fall into the hands of Ruan Mingjiao, what kind of sin is this.

He watched his delicacy fly away, stood silently in the courtyard, and after a while, he moved his gaze to the study, and his face gradually became solemn.

The princess's wedding, the whole country celebrates, the capital is full of joy, everyone in the court praises the beauty of the Anle Palace, and the prince of the great cause is made in heaven and earth, and the long night lights in the streets and alleys seem to be celebrated.

The day must be fixed, the palace will prepare for the ceremony, the first assistant and other ministers followed the prince to the Qianling Tomb to worship, in order to ask the martyrs to protect the descendants for thousands of generations.

As soon as the sacrifice is over, it is a wedding, this matter is a political matter, and their female dependents naturally do not need to participate, Song Xing took the best private room in late spring in advance and sent an invitation to Ruan Mingjiao.

The two sat down in the private room, looking at the window, the breeze by the Xihe waterside was gusting, and it was not cold to the point that people's skin was cool, Song Xing was wearing a gold and silver silk Luan bird Chaofeng embroidered robe tonight, the whole person was a lot more graceful and beautiful, like a snake and scorpion's awl face makeup was extremely beautiful, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains with a hint of melancholy.

Ruan Mingjiao glanced at her, poured her a cup of tea, and asked: On weekdays, the pearl hairpin is with a ring, but today it is so simple and elegant, not like you, why are you so worried? ”

Nguyen Minh's fair face was even more radiant and beautiful under the bright candle flame in the room. A purple silk and emerald pattern skirt is extremely lightweight, a little playful, and the simple cloud bun is clean and elegant.

The ridicule in her words, Song Xing heard it, took the tea she handed over, but it was not as usual to fight with Ruan Mingjiao, still staring, "I'm not in the mood." ”
