Chapter 15: The Girl Grows Up

Xie Lingci came to look for He Xiaoxiao's matter in the morning, and after the eldest princess of Chengguo got up a little later, Light Red came to report to her.

After thinking about it again, the eldest princess of Chengguo still went to Chunxin Garden.

He Xiaoxiao, who had made up for another sleep in the Spring Heart Garden, was dressing up in front of the dressing table, and when the eldest princess of Chengguo entered the house, she watched the maids surrounding He Xiaoxiao with jewelry, discussing how to dress her up today.

He Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a good mood, and they tried to decorate her head in the same way.

He Xiaoxiao's appearance has both the delicacy of the royal family and the brightness and generosity of the He family, even if he is still young, he has already begun to show his stunning beauty.

The eldest princess of Chengguo looked at her daughter's appearance and was stunned for a while, it seemed that yesterday she was still a childish girl who could only babble, and today she has reached the age of being able to talk about marriage, and she will soon fly away from her side like a bird leaving the nest.

"Mother is here." He Xiaoxiao saw the eldest princess of Chengguo through the prism mirror on the dressing table, and she turned her head to look at her with a smile.

The maids in the room reacted and saluted the eldest princess of Chengguo.

"Stand down." The eldest princess of Chengguo smiled, and after the maids came out, she slowly walked to He Xiaoxiao and stood still. "I've come to see you this morning."

"Hmm." He Xiaoxiao looked up at the eldest princess of Chengguo, and responded obediently.

"Xiaoxiao, what your mother is talking to you now, you listen quietly first." The eldest princess of Chengguo put her hands lightly on He Xiaoxiao's shoulders. "His Royal Highness was reprimanded for refusing His Majesty's marriage, and His Majesty made a concession and promised him to only set a side concubine this time, I think he still has some thoughts about you."

When He Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyes widened in shock.

"I know that you don't want to marry into the royal family, but the other party is a royal family after all, even if I and you have the blood of the Zhongli family, it is not easy to refuse." The eldest princess of Chengguo said soothingly. "The only decent way to refuse is to set up a marriage for you early. You are married, and your grandmother in the palace is still around for you, even Your Majesty can't easily break your marriage contract. ”

"Does Mother have a candidate in mind?"

He Xiaoxiao didn't expect much from this solution, he was married to Li Xu by the queen in his previous life, and he was forced to accompany the madman to the funeral.

"This person is not bad in terms of family background and appearance, at least he will not spoil my daughter." The eldest princess of Chengguo brushed her cheek and smiled. "You also know this person, the same person who came to look for you this morning."

"Mother is talking about Brother Lingqi?" He Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while before reacting, and subconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

"Yes." The eldest princess of Chengguo saw the smile on He Xiaoxiao's face, and she had the answer in her heart.

He Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned his head to look for the acacia flower, and Tan Yin actually put it away in a beautiful box, which was placed on He Xiaoxiao's right hand at this time.

"The Xie family has been friends with the He family for generations, and the resignation can be regarded as something that I grew up with your father." The eldest princess of Chengguo saw He Xiaoxiao staring at the flowers in the box, and unconsciously showed a little daughter's attitude. "You know best whether he's good to you or not, and now your mother only asks you if you want to?"

The lid of the box was open, the dew on the morning acacia flowers was still there, He Xiaoxiao's fingers were rubbing on the flowers, his heart was like pouring a box of honey, and his cheeks were slightly flushed red.

In his previous life, Xie Lingci was also a good friend of his brother, and at that time, Zhong Lijue held her by his side early, and after the marriage contract was made, her mother naturally restrained her from meeting foreign men at will.

Although the time spent with each other in the previous life was short, Xie Lingci was also very good to her.

He Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think that day in the palace, when Xie Lingci suddenly took himself away from Zhong Lijue like a young hero, he let her hold his sleeve and cooperate with her steps to slow down his pace, and his heart became even sweeter.

"Mother, I do." He Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, looked at the eldest princess of Chengguo and said firmly. "I am willing to marry Brother Lingqi in the future."

Ten days later, Xie Chang and his wife Song prepared a heavy gift to officially visit, the eldest princess of Chengguo and He Cheng, Li and others received their husband and wife in the main hall, and the two elders solemnly exchanged Xie Lingci and He Xiaoxiao's Geng post, and preliminarily set the marriage contract of the two families.

As long as He Wan leaves the palace after the election, and waits for He Yun's marriage to be settled, the two families will officially announce the marriage.

Then wait until He Xiaoxiao has passed and the ceremony, and then hold a wedding for the two of them.

He Xi, who returned home from the palace in the evening, learned that such a major event had been set at home.

The best friend suddenly became his future brother-in-law, He Xi thought of the reason why the family would rush to make a marriage contract with He Xiaoxiao, he believed in his friend's character, and saw the smile on He Xiaoxiao's face, after all, he didn't say anything.

The next day, He Xiaoxiao went to Wang's house to pick up people in a carriage according to the earlier agreement.

Wang Mingzhu dressed up early and waited for her friends to come to pick her up, and even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile when she looked at her restlessness.

"Xiaoxiao has seen Mrs. Wang." It's easy to wait for the next person to welcome He Xiaoxiao into the front hall.

He Xiaoxiao just greeted Mrs. Wang, and Wang Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"I thought you wouldn't make it?" Wang Mingzhu said angrily.

"I'm really sorry, I accompanied my grandmother in the palace and accidentally forgot the day." He Xiaoxiao hurriedly apologized. "Today, my brother has booked a box for me in the Drunken Pavilion, can I treat me to apologize?"

Drunken Pavilion is the best restaurant in the imperial capital, it has always been difficult to find, and the box is even more difficult to book, He Xi personally went to two trips to book today's box for his sister.

"Well, my brother and I talked about it." Not long after Wang Mingzhu arrived in the imperial capital, he hardly went out because he didn't know anyone, and he was very yearning for the prosperity of the imperial capital. "It's just that he is not as good as your brother, and he is also the companion of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, but he is unwilling to take me out to play."

"Okay, you little sisters go out to play and leave early to get home early." Mrs. Wang covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and persuaded.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Mingzhu couldn't bear it, and lifted the curtain early to look out.

"In half a month, it's Tanabata, and there will be a lantern festival at night." He Xiaoxiao took Wang Mingzhu by the hand and said with a smile. "When the time comes, it will be beautiful and lively, and I will call you out to play together then."

"But when I go out at night, I wonder if my mother will agree?" Wang Mingzhu listened to He Xiaoxiao's description and couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, my mother will send the guards of the eldest princess's mansion and my brother to accompany me, it is very safe." He Xiaoxiao actively gives advice to his friends. "It's really not good, you just call your brother to come together, and he and my brother are also classmates."

"Okay." Wang Mingzhu smiled and opened his way. "It's still Xiaoxiao's idea."
