Mrs. Qi didn't agree with Shen Siyi to go to the appointment instead of Qi Jingchun at first, because Tongping Hou took a fancy to Qi Jingchun.

However, Shen Siyi said: "As far as I know, there are also many big families in the capital who want to marry their daughters as a continuation, and they have been in contact with Tongping Hou in the past few days. ”

"The third sister's injury was caused by you, it was you who caused it, she couldn't go to accompany the marquis to take a boat tour of the lake as usual, if she didn't seize the opportunity this time, the eldest lady's purpose would be frustrated."

Mrs. Qi's face was pale, and she didn't care about the provocation and ridicule in Shen Siyi's words.

Indeed, as Shen Siyi said, she must let the daughter of the Qi family seize the opportunity to marry into the Hou Mansion, so whether it is Qi Jingchun or Shen Siyi, it is essentially the same!

So, the next day, Shen Siyi was ceremoniously dressed up and sent out of the mansion.

Before going out, Qi Jingchun grabbed Shen Siyi's hand tightly, her own fingers were swollen like small steamed buns, and her eyes were red when she looked at Shen Siyi.

"Sister...... You have suffered this grievance for me. ”

"Okay, don't cry," Shen Siyi pulled the hair from her ears for her, and laughed quietly: "Look at how I clean up that old perverted ghost Hou Ye, and keep it so that he will never dare to find people in our house again!" ”

Qi Jingchun was amused by her tone, but she didn't forget to advise: "Sister must protect herself." ”

Qi Jingchun and Tongping Hou met twice before, and the old guy actually did something.

I heard that none of the girls he had seen were not touched by him.

Soon after Shen Siyi left, Qi Jingchun wanted to go back to the room, but Mrs. Qi said sternly and coldly behind her: "Your fingers have a headache, you must not fall off when you practice the piano, play it well, otherwise I will be angry." ”

Qi Jingchun's face turned pale, nodded silently, and went back to his courtyard gloomily.

However, as soon as the door closed, a figure jumped down from the beam.

"Jingchun, Mrs. Qi didn't notice the injury on your finger, it's fake, right?" The King of Shu walked over quickly.

Qi Jingchun nodded, and her voice was a little low: "No, even my sister doesn't doubt it." ”

In fact, Mrs. Qi always punished her like this before, and the King of Shu thought of a way for Qi Jingchun to card a little cinnabar powder in her fingertips before she knew that she was going to be punished.

In this way, when the needle is gently pricked in, the blood will flow out, and the fingers will appear red and swollen and scary.

But after a while, I went back at night to clean up, apply hot compresses and medicine, and in fact, there was nothing serious.

It's just that this time, the King of Shu asked Qi Jingchun to pretend that the injury was more serious, so that he didn't have to go to see the Marquis of Tongping.

Seeing Qi Jingchun's guilt, he took her hand: "Do you feel sorry for Shen Siyi?" ”

Qi Jingchun nodded: "My sister doesn't know that my injury is faked, I originally just wanted not to see Tongpinghou, but I didn't expect that when she saw that I was seriously injured, she actually pleaded for me in front of her mother, and would rather go instead of me." ”

"Your Highness...... Just now I saw my sister's caring eyes, and felt that I really deserved to die, I should have told her the truth, but I lied to her. ”

Qi Jingchun said, covering her face and crying.

The King of Shu was very distressed, and stepped forward to hug her body: "Don't blame yourself, blame me for this matter, I gave you the idea, what's wrong with you?" You just listened to me. ”

"However, things are not as bad as you imagined, Shen Siyi's character is more suitable than you to deal with those nobles, because she is not afraid of offending the powerful, and you are the daughter of Qi Mansion, you can't go crazy like her."

"Besides, she took the initiative to stand up and said that she wanted to go to the lake for you, maybe, she would rather marry Tongping Hou as a continuation than be a beautiful concubine for others, after all, the wife and concubine, ordinary women, know how to choose, right?"

Qi Jingchun raised her teary eyes, a little confused: "Is this really the case......

The King of Shu nodded: "Of course, she is not from a different background than you, she is a wild girl picked up by Mrs. Qi from outside, she has no background background, and her future fate will definitely be married to someone else by Mrs. Qi as a beautiful concubine." ”

"So she did this, maybe it was all for her own planning, so don't blame yourself for being sad about it, if she still thanks you in her heart and gave up this opportunity!"

Qi Jingchun pursed her lips and wiped away her tears, but she didn't cry anymore.

It's just that she has a strange feeling in her heart, she didn't doubt Shen Siyi's intentions before, she only felt that the other party was wholeheartedly for her good.

But what if it is really as the King of Shu said, Shen Siyi also has half of the reason, it is for himself?

Qi Jingchun thought in a daze.

That's right, Shen Siyi can only do her best to be a wife, otherwise what good marriage can she have?

Thinking like this, the guilt in Qi Jingchun's heart lightened a lot.

She played the piano, so that the maid sent by Mrs. Qi to supervise at the door heard the sound of the piano, and beside her, the king of Shu hugged her, and the two kissed from time to time, and they almost crossed the thunder pool.

At this moment, Princess Shu was lingering on the sickbed because of the cold in autumn, and asked where the prince had gone, and the maids around her said that the prince had gone out early in the morning to talk about official business.

On Shen Siyi's side, she took a carriage and rushed to the lake where she agreed to meet Hou Ye, and on the way, she lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage was surrounded by the attendants of the Qi Mansion.

"Tsk, do you need it, send so many people to follow." She knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Qi to believe that she was really willing to come to the appointment.

must be afraid that she will be a demon and send someone to keep an eye on her.

But it's okay to look at it, she has to make Tongpinghou suffer a little today.

When I'm old, I always want to marry a young and beautiful girl.

Do you really think you're the emperor? Choose a concubine one by one.

The carriage stopped at the lake.

Shen Siyi got out of the carriage and saw that the wind was blowing on the water, and his eyes were full of sparkling beauty.

In autumn, the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the distant mountains and fiery maple trees, but there are also some cypress pines that are still green, standing tall.

The beautiful scenery of red and green is embellished with colorful autumn mood, and the breeze blows through, bringing a hint of coolness, but also blowing away the calm and undulating waves of the lake.

The white shadows of a few waterfowl skim across the lake, leaving behind a string of crisp calls that add to the elegance.

Shen Siyi felt that the scenery was extremely beautiful, if it weren't for something, she really wanted to rent a fisherman's boat and ripple on the lake in late autumn.

"Miss, this is it," her maid pointed to a painting boat docked by the lake, "Look, there are many guards standing on the boat, and the Marquis of Tongping must have come." ”

Shen Siyi's eyes were awe-inspiring, and her delicate face revealed a faint sharpness.

Let's see how she cleans up this Tongpinghou.

Walking under the painting boat, the maid Dark Fragrance showed the invitation, but the two guards still stopped Shen Siyi.

"Master Hou has an order, the young lady can only bring one maid up, and the rest of the domestic servants have to wait on the shore."
