When Qi Mingle woke up, the bead curtain rattled, and there was a faint sound of talking outside.

Listen to the voice, like Daddy Qi.

At this time, isn't Daddy Qi always on duty in the palace? Why are you still in the house today? And you're coming to her?!

When Qi Mingle walked to the door, he saw Father Qi standing under the porch with his hands in his hands, and a deep fold was pressed between his eyebrows. Qi Ming stood beside Qi Changhong, still holding his ice cube face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Qi Mingle walked out and asked.

Hearing her voice, Qi Changhong immediately turned his head to look over, and his expression became a little anxious: "Mingle, you ...... last night"

"General! Checkmate! A shout from far and near interrupted Qi Changhong's words. A small guy hurriedly ran in, "The Zhang family is here." ”

As soon as Qi Changhong heard this, he took a deep look at Qi Mingle, swallowed the unfinished words, and strode to the front yard.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Qi Mingle looked at Qi Mingzhao in confusion, how did she think that her father looked at her strangely before leaving.

Qi Mingzhao glanced at her, but he didn't answer the question: "You said, if the Zhang family comes to withdraw from the marriage today, will your father let you kneel down the ancestral hall?" ”

"What's wrong? Why did Zhang Yuanxiu suddenly withdraw from the marriage? Qi Mingle looked dazed.

"Think about what you did last night."

"What did I do last night?" Qi Mingle frowned and thought, "I was drinking with the princess, and after the palace banquet, it seemed that two people said they were going to send me back to the house." ”

"And then?"

"And then......" Qi Mingle racked his brains to think, but still found nothing, "I can't remember what happened after that." ”

"Then it's time you can't think of it."

Qi Mingle drank too much last night, and now her head is still a little chaotic, hearing Qi Mingzhao's words, she immediately said angrily: "Early in the morning, what are you doing here?" Say what you know. "She really can't remember.

Specifically, Qi Mingzhao doesn't know.

He was on duty last night, and after returning home this morning, from Qi Changhong's words, Qi Mingzhao vaguely guessed that it seemed that Qi Mingle did something last night, and Qi Changhong was worried that Zhang Yuanxiu would come to withdraw from the marriage.

Now Qi Mingle asked him in turn, Qi Mingzhao only dropped a sentence, "You think for yourself", and turned to leave.

Qi Ming's fists were hard. If she could remember, why did she ask him? Seeing that Qi Mingzhao had walked away, Qi Mingle called Yinsui again: "What happened last night?" ”

"Nothing happened?" Yinsui looked dazed, she only sent Qi Mingle to the palace gate last night.

Qi Mingle felt that his head hurt even more.

"Oh, by the way, it was Zhang Hanlin who sent Miss back last night." Yinsui thought that Qi Mingle was asking this, and immediately smiled, "Miss, I saw Zhang Hanlin last night, he is very good-looking, he is the best-looking man Yinsui has seen since he came to Beijing." ”

In order to confirm the authenticity of these words, Yin Sui thought about it and added: "It's better looking than Wei Gongzi!" ”

Qi Mingle: "......"

On the eve of Qi Mingle's marriage, Wei Shu left Beijing to do business, and has not yet returned.

Qi Mingle was already relieved of Wei Shu, and when he heard Yinsui's words, Qi Mingle said with a straight face: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, Wei Shu is Wei Shu, Zhang Yuanxiu is Zhang Yuanxiu, there is nothing to compare between them." ”

"Yes, Silver Spike will never be compared again." Seeing that Qi Mingle was still sleepy on his face, Yinsui persuaded, "Miss, do you want to stop lying down for a while?" ”

"Nope." Qi Mingle sat on the couch, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and looked in the direction of the front yard.

When Father Qi left just now, he didn't look very good, and she had to wait for him to come over.

"Then I'll serve the lady a decanting soup." Silver Spike ran out with a clatter.

Qi Mingle sat on the couch by the window, still thinking about what Qi Mingzhao said. Based on what everyone said, could it be because last night, she drank too much and asked Zhang Yuanxiu to send her home, Zhang Yuanxiu felt that her behavior was too Meng Lang, so she came to withdraw from the marriage early this morning?

Although they had only met twice, Qi Mingle felt that Zhang Yuanxiu was not like this kind of person with a small belly.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qi Changhong came over. He swept away his previous uneasiness, walked in and said with a smile: "Girl, it's decided!" It's set! ”

"What's decided?" Qi Mingle was confused.

"Your wedding date is set for the fifteenth day of the winter month."

“？！” Qi Mingle looked confused, "Didn't you say that Zhang Yuanxiu came to withdraw from the marriage?" "Now the wedding date has been set.

"Don't listen to nonsense! The Zhang family is here to ask for an appointment today. Qi Changhong resolutely refused to admit it, he also thought so before, he only happily told Qi Mingle, "Now that the wedding date is set, you can stay in the house to get married, and then your father will send you to get married." ”

After the wedding date was set, when the Qi family was preparing for Qi Mingle's marriage, the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom arrived.

Although Qi Mingle was detained in the mansion every day, he also heard that the envoy of the Dayue Kingdom proposed to marry the princess. Now the princesses of Jiang Guo are only Ye Hao and Jiang Xige. With Xie Shenshuang here, it is absolutely impossible for Ye Hao to go to make peace, so only Jiang Xige will remain.

And her brother who saw the gourd has been secretly admiring Jiang Xige for a long time.

Qi Mingle was not at ease, so he went to Qi Mingzhao's courtyard to look for him, but the little guy said that Qi Mingzhao had gone out early. Qi Mingle asked, "Where did he go?" ”

"I don't know about this little one."

Qi Mingzhao often goes out on weekdays, but somehow, after hearing the news that Qi Mingzhao went out today, Qi Mingle's right eyelid kept jumping.

Sure enough, after Qi Changhong returned home in the evening, he moved the family law to Qi Ming.

When Qi Mingle passed, Qi Mingzhao was kneeling on the ground, and the whip marks on his back were staggered. Qi Changhong stood aside, his face full of anger: "What is the ancestral motto of my Qi family?" ”

"Be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and defend the mountains and rivers."

"You know why you made such a stupid mistake!" Now that the alliance between the two countries is imminent, he actually wants to kidnap the princess and run away. If it weren't for Princess Xige's knowledge of the overall situation, the Qi family would be buried because of his stupidity.

The more Qi Changhong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to whip Qi Mingzhao again, but was stopped by Qi Mingle who rushed over: "Dad, you beat and scolded, your majesty doesn't care about it anymore, you drink chrysanthemum tea to dissipate your anger." ”

Qi Mingle persuaded Qi Changhong to sit down, and while he was taking the tea, he quickly put away the whip.

Qi Mingzhao knelt on the ground, and the whip marks on his back were oozing blood. When Qi Mingle was about to intercede for him again, Qi Mingzhao, who had been silently bearing Qi Changhong's anger from beginning to end tonight, suddenly kowtowed to Qi Changhong and said hoarsely: "The child wants to escort the princess to get married, and asks his father to agree." ”

"Impossible!" Qi Changhong's anger when he just went down suddenly came up again.

"Father, the child wanted to take the princess away today, but the princess refused. The princess said that she had her mission. Now that she is making an alliance between the two countries, she will go to Otsuki and kiss, and this time, we may never meet again in this life. Ask the father to allow the child to escort the princess to the border. ”

Qi Mingzhao knelt in front of Qi Changhong, his face was pale and his eyes were scarlet, and every word was full of pleading.

Qi Mingzhao is the eldest son, and from the perspective of the eldest and youngest teeth, if you want to get married, Qi Mingzhao should marry first. But he admired Jiang Xige, still the kind of admiration that he knew was impossible between them, but still admired like a moth to a fire.

is different from Qi Mingle's favor, Qi Mingzhao will take over him in the future, so Qi Changhong is very strict with him. Over time, it also caused Qi Mingzhao to be very strong.

And this strong son, who has grown so big, only asks Qi Changhong for two things.

The first thing is to ask Qi Changhong to marry Jiang Xige and then marry him. Jiang Xige has not been married for a day, and Qi Mingzhao wants to guard her for a day.

The second thing is tonight, asking Qi Changhong for permission, he escorted Jiang Xige, the princess of Jiang Kingdom, and Jiang Xige, who is also his sweetheart, to kiss.

Looking at Qi Mingzhao like this, Qi Changhong couldn't say anything to refuse.

On the second day, the news that Jiang Xige invited himself to Dayue and his relatives spread throughout Shangjing, and the people in the streets and alleys praised Jiang Xige's righteousness.

Qi Mingle looked at Qi Mingzhao, who was sitting under the porch, silently wiping his sword, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Mingle, come here." Qi Mingzhao called her suddenly.

Qi Mingle moved over, the brother and sister sat side by side, and Qi Mingzhao said, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Qi Mingle did as he was told, and there was a familiar dagger in his palm.

The dagger was small and delicate, but it was as sharpened as clay. This is the spoils that Qi Mingzhao got from Rong Di when he went to the battlefield for the first time when he was thirteen years old. Qi Mingle liked it very much, and asked Qi Mingzhao several times, but Qi Mingzhao was reluctant to give it to her.

And today, Qi Mingzhao suddenly took the initiative to give it to her.

"After I go to the border, you take good care of your father, you know?"

Every time the siblings were together, they were always noisy, and rarely were as quiet as they are today. Qi Mingle nodded, and then asked, "When I get married, can you rush back?" ”

"I try." When he said this, Qi Mingzhao looked away.

After Jiang Xige invited himself to make peace, an alliance was formed between Dayue Guo and Jiang Guo to jointly fight against the Hu people. After signing the letter of alliance, Jiang Xige was going to go to Dayue with the envoy of the Great Moon Country.

On the day Jiang Xige left, it was drizzling in Beijing.

The crown prince Jiang Yu led hundreds of civil and military officials to send him to the gate of the city, and Qi Mingle saw Qi Mingzhao in the escort team. He was dressed in black armor, with a pale and resolute side face, standing closest to Jiang Xige's carriage, guarding his sweetheart in his way.

After Jiang Xige married and married, Emperor Xuan's health deteriorated. In late October, there was news that King Wen was coming to Beijing to serve the sick.

When Qi Mingle heard the news, he knew that Shangjing was about to set off a bloody storm again.

Sure enough, at dusk on the first day of the winter month, King Wen led his troops into the palace to seize power and usurp the throne in the name of serving Emperor Xuan.

After King Wen was ambushed, Xu Xiang's party was liquidated, and there was a lot of rumors in Beijing for a while, but the general's mansion was not affected in the slightest, and the whole house was in full swing preparing for Qi Mingle's marriage.

On the fifteenth day of the winter month, Qi Mingle was called up early to put on makeup.

It rained for several days in a row, but on the day of Qi Mingle's wedding, it was a rare good weather. Qi Mingle sat in front of the bronze mirror, listening to the frolicking sounds around him, and a touch of gloom slipped under his eyes.

Today she got married, but Qi Mingzhao did not come back.

In fact, as early as that day, when Qi Mingzhao gave her the dagger, Qi Mingle had already guessed it, but on this day, she still couldn't hide her loss.

Ye Hao, who was accompanying her, was about to comfort and persuade when a crackling firecracker suddenly sounded in front of her. Immediately afterwards, someone happily ran into the courtyard and shouted: "Uncle is here to greet him!" ”

Before Qi Mingle could react, the hijab fell down.
