His Majesty is getting older, and Yu is no longer enthusiastic about women, so Queen Qu doesn't care about the beauties around him, and begins to focus on the competition between the second prince and the crown prince.

You can't say who is wrong, people are in their place, and they have to fight.

Aunt Ye wants to be the top of the Hou Ye's heart, so that her daughter can be treated as a concubine.

If she had a son, she would fight even harder, especially in the choice of the academy and the master, and even in the distribution of the family property.

Just like those men in the court dispute, the interests are tilted, and they don't give up an inch of land, but the women are trapped in the backyard and have very limited access to resources.

If Qu Ningxi goes to the East Palace, she will become Aunt Ye first.

When Pei Yingxiao ascended the throne, she was like a concubine under her aunt.

She had already seen the path they had walked, and she was tired to think about it.

So, she was just coaxing the prince.

She doesn't want to be his pillow person.

******

The place where I met Wang Jinyi was a vast lotus lake on the outskirts of Beijing.

Hundreds of acres are full, and now the flowers are in full bloom, and small boats shuttle among them, attracting many literati and elegant guests.

It's not just a great view, it's also fresh country food.

The fish is plump, and the lotus seeds, lotus seeds, and lotus roots are all natural ingredients, and there are many tricks in the hands of the cook.

Wang Jinyi also came here for the first time, and only after listening to the recommendation of others did he decide on a place.

He was afraid of water, and when he boarded the boat after dinner, he seemed to be even more nervous than Qu Ningxi.

Because of the need to shuttle under the tall lotus bushes, the ship is very small and cannot accommodate the position of the maid's retinue.

There are only two people in the boat, Wang Jinyi and Qu Ningxi, and the captain who knows how to water.

Lotus Lake is said to be a lake, but because it is used to breed crops, the amount of water is not actually deeper, but the silt is deeper.

Therefore, there was no danger, and the attendants could follow in another boat or wait on the shore.

The boat staggered off the shore and soon disappeared into the shade of lotus leaves.

Wang Jinyi coughed lightly and took the lead in opening his mouth: "Wang wants to apologize to Miss Qu, the Gulan Temple ...... It's me who lost my words. ”

Last time, I wanted to say by the tea stall that there are many noisy people, and it is not a place to talk.

Qu Ningxi didn't expect him to apologize to himself with a straight face.

There was a serious look on her face, and she didn't see the kind of smile that made her serious: "It's okay, I forgot about it a long time ago." ”

Wang Jinyi looked at her, the green lotus leaves were clustered around, but she was more tender and fresh than them, graceful and pleasing to the eye.

After all, he had to admit that a mere ordinary man could not escape beautiful things.

Moreover, since seeing each other, every time he met Qu Ningxi, he would subconsciously pay attention to her.

found that she was quiet and gentle, not intelligent, and not domineering.

There is a degree of advance and retreat, IKEA IKEA.

Wang Jinyi prides himself on being a gentleman, but he is not good He kept staring at the girl and turned his head to admire the lotus.

On the one hand, he told her that he would return to Zhuangzi to study today, and would not return to Beijing until the end of summer and the eve of autumn.

Zhuangzi is not far away, but they may not be able to see each other again.

Qu Ningxi, of course, wished him the title of the Toad Palace and the title of the gold list.

At present, if the two families go to courtesy, I am afraid that he will be distracted, and there are only two months left. Not in a hurry.

As long as he gives permission here, she will tell the family, and she can delay Meng Yihuai's side.

After the boat went around, before reaching the shore, Wang Jinyi took out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "I am willing to deliver the token, Wang will definitely live up to the girl." ”

Qu Ningxi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "There is no need to be like this, you and I are not private for life, and there is no need for tokens." ”

They had already seen each other when the two elders knew about it, and there was no contact later.

Now that we have decided to continue, it is natural for adults to come forward and take the next step.

What is agreed upon today cannot be regarded as a commitment, but can be regarded as a continuation of mutual understanding.

Even if Wang Jinyi repents after the scientific examination, there is nothing to blame, but the two did not get along, and there are other options.

Qu Ningxi is not afraid that he will regret it, if it is really so easy to change the order overnight, it is definitely not a good match.

Anyway, she achieved the goal of delaying time, and he didn't have to.

It's just that for now, he is the best marriage for her.

Wang Jinyi is not a person who likes to laugh much, looking at her at this time, a smile bloomed on his lips.

"Wang believes that he will be able to raise eyebrows with the girl."

Qu Ningxi followed with a smile: "Gongzi is reasonable, and Wan Yu also believes it." ”

When the ship docked, it happened that there was also a ship next door that happened to arrive.

Qu Ningxi and the two of them landed first, the position was not spacious, and the girl next door almost fell when she jumped down.

The incident happened suddenly, Wang Jinyi subconsciously reached out and supported her.

The girl looked up and stared at him.

Wang Jinyi said with a faux pas, withdrew his movements, and moved two steps to Qu Ningxi's side.

"Are you weird?" Ding Yunfu pursed his lips, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Qu Ningxi, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's you?" …… You guys? ”

Qu Ningxi didn't expect such a coincidence, nodded and greeted, "Fourth girl Ding." ”

Wang Jinyi didn't greet her and said, "Let's go." ”

But Ding Yunfu's eyes clearly knew him, and he opened his mouth and called his name: "Wang Jinyi, you stop." ”

Shang Jing's circle said that it was not big, and it was normal for the eldest princess to know each other from the eldest princess's mansion and Prime Minister Wang's family.

Wang Jinyi is already arrogant, and he doesn't want to deal with anyone, even if it's a girl's family, he doesn't give face at all.

Take Qu Ningxi and leave.

It was not too early for him to leave for the school, and he decided to take her carriage to the fork in the road.

Qu Ningxi didn't ask them what grievances they had, and waved goodbye to him at the intersection.

As far as Ding Yunfu's temperament is concerned, it is estimated that there are many people who have grievances with her.

After sending off Wang Jinyi's carriage and horses, Qu Ningxi sat by the window of the car and squeaked back to the city.

Ying Chu looked at her, always looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

If the little sister makes a decision with the Wang family, what will the prince's reaction be when he learns about it?

In her impression, what her master wanted, she had never missed......

I didn't read people in broad daylight, and as soon as I read it, the carriage was overtaken by a string of horses' hooves.

Ming En grabbed the reins and caught up to ask the coachman in front of him who was in the car from the Marquis of Anyong's mansion.

The coachman often followed him in and out of the palace gate, how could he not recognize Ming En, and quickly answered truthfully.

Ming En turned back to look at His Royal Highness, just as Qu Ningxi heard the sound and peeked through the window.

The white horse neighed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on horseback smiled lightly: "The sun is too big, I want to borrow the carriage of your mansion to hide, I don't know if it is convenient." ”

Who would dare to say inconvenient?

Without waiting for Qu Ningxi to speak, the coachman stopped the carriage and asked the prince to take a seat.

While wiping his sweat, he speculated that the carriage of the queen's mother said to sit down, could it be that this was a deliberate provocation by the East Palace?

Pei Yingxiao Shi Ran got into the car, Ying Chu was very discerning, and immediately hid to the very edge.

Qu Ningxi opened her small mouth, how could she still have room to express her opinions?

Pei Yingxiao sat beside her, looked sideways, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Courtier...... I went to Lotus Lake. Qu Ningxi hesitated to mention Wang Jinyi.

She wrote to him to inquire and received no reply.

It's not like she's hiding it and not reporting it.

"Lotus Lake?" Pei Yingxiao picked up her teacup and took a sip, "Is it fun?" ”

Qu Ningxi nodded slightly: "It's not bad, Your Highness has time to go and enjoy it." ”

Pei Yingxiao put the cold tea back on the table, reached out and picked up her delicate little chin.

"Xiao Wanyu, do you know that you have a weak face now?"

Qu Ningxi didn't believe it at first, how could it be?

And then shaken, is there such a thing? Is she weak-hearted?

"I ......"

Before the words could be spoken, the carriage suddenly clanged loudly, and Pei Yingxiao's eyes were quick and he pulled the person into his arms.

However, no matter how fast he reacted, he only had time to make this one action, and then the car with the loud noise rolled over on its side.

"Ahh

Qu Ningxi and Ying Chu exclaimed in unison, and even the coachmen and horses outside neighed.

"Your Highness!"

Ming En and the others rode with them, and when they saw that the carriage had overturned on its side, they immediately jumped down to rescue them.

I saw a deep pit on the side of the road, and the car fell into it and lost its balance, and then it overturned.

"Alone." Pei Yingxiao spoke in time to appease everyone.

He looked down into his arms.

The little girl lay on his chest, her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling.
