"It's dark under the lights. Zhong Xiao said with a little surprise, "I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

Zhong Zihong couldn't help but glance at Zhong Li, and secretly thought for a while, before asking, "Li'er, can you still hold up your body?"

Zhong Li nodded, and tightened the fox fur on his body again, "I just feel a little cold on my body, it's not a big deal, but is there something wrong with my father?"

Zhong Zihong drank the remaining tea in the cup, "The prince sent someone to come to the mansion later." Over the years, his father stayed away from the court and did not want to get involved in party disputes. But the disputes in the court are still clear. Although the crown prince is early and the son of the current queen, he ...... said this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, "The prince's position seems to be stable now, but in terms of treatment, it is far inferior to the Heng King Ye Lin who died on the battlefield, and the second prince and the third prince are slightly better than him." On the surface, the emperor's marriage is a reward for meritorious heroes, but in fact it is not simple. ”

Zhong Li sat on the side, looking at him lightly, his mind was running rapidly, recalling the events of his previous life before he got married. I always felt that there was something wrong in it, but I never grasped the key point. At this moment, Zhong Zihong's words instantly made her understand all the roots of her previous life.

In the previous life, the prince also visited so suddenly, and he was very concerned about her, and even provided her with all the conveniences, and developed her own power with her, but now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous and pathetic. I would have been planted under such a despicable and porous measure.

Zhong Zihong thought about it again and again, but still said this sentence and said, "Li'er, for my father, I decided to let your sister marry into the prince's mansion as a concubine as the second daughter." Zhong Li, who thought he would object, showed a rare smile, and the smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes, which surprised Zhong Zihong.

The daughter understands that the marriage is all decided by the father, and the emperor did not specify who the daughter of the Zhong family is marrying. Zhong Li smiled lightly, with a flicker in his eyes, "There must be something wrong with the prince coming to the mansion, and my daughter thinks that she should let the Lin family and Qinghe go to see the prince together." There is one more thing, about letting Qinghe marry into the prince's mansion, it is better not to reveal it again, the emperor's father may have to think more, after all, it is a marriage, which of the two daughters of the Zhongfu is married to the prince, and it is not that the father can marry whoever he wants to marry. ”

Zhong Zihong looked at Zhong Li, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "In this matter, Li'er, you may suffer some grievances." His eyes were filled with a rare amount of love.

Along the way, Zhong Zihong comforted Zhong Li many times, and the guilt in his heart became deeper and deeper. Although Zhong Xiao complained a lot about this, it can be seen that his sister did not show displeasure, and even faintly rejoiced, which made him decide to ask Zhong Li after the prince left the mansion.

"Master, Prince Ling is here, and he is waiting for you in the side hall, and he has been asking about Miss Yan's situation from the time he entered the mansion to the side hall. Zhong Fu walked quickly, looked around, and whispered.

Zhong Zihong glanced at Zhong Li, "Zhong Fu, follow me to the study in a while, it's time to hand over some things to Li'er." There was relief in the words.

Zhong Li watched quietly, didn't ask a word, and said softly to Zhong Fu, "Uncle Fu, I'm sorry for you to go to the Fuyuan Courtyard once, let the Lin family and Miss Shu prepare well, the prince is about to come to the mansion, don't lose your sense of proportion." There was a big smile in her eyes.

Zhong Fu looked at Zhong Li with a smile on his face, nodded and responded to her instructions.

"Miss, the old slave has a lot of words, the heart of the prince to the young lady can be described as extraordinary, the first lady has an agreement with Princess Ling, and the young lady is also ...... to the prince" Zhong Fu said halfway, and was stopped by Zhong Li.

Zhong Li was rarely coquettish, looking at everyone with apricot eyes wide open, and her cheeks flushed, "Uncle Fu, you ...... I...... Where do I have a ...... for Situ Lin "She was said to be incoherent, you and I have been for a long time, and even called the name of the prince of Lingwang, "I won't tell you, Du Juan, An Ran, let's go to the side hall." In the end, he simply stopped explaining, dropped a sentence, and hurriedly left the corridor with his girl, and his steps became faster and faster.

The few people who were thrown on the corridor looked at each other with a smile, and then laughed tacitly. I didn't expect Zhong Li, who was so calm, to have such an embarrassed look, but the eyes of the few people who stayed on the corridor soon turned red.

"Father, you really want to ......"

"Xiao'er, do you remember that your mother once accepted the token of King Ling's mansion?" Zhong Zihong turned to look at Zhong Xiao who was about to ask the teacher for sin, "When you were still young, Li'er was born not long ago, King Ling and Princess Ling came to visit, so they made a marriage contract, and our two mansions exchanged tokens and made a covenant between Qin and Jin. ”

Zhong Xiao looked at Zhong Zihong in front of him suspiciously, and then turned to look at the old housekeeper Zhong Fu. Seeing Zhong Fu nodding solemnly, he was convinced of Zhong Zihong's words.

"So, can my sister know about this?" At the end, Zhong Xiao still asked his doubts.

"This ......" Zhong Zihong was speechless for a while when he was asked, and suddenly he remembered something, "Even if Li'er doesn't know, but when you look at it, her reaction must be that she is already moved by the world." ”

Zhong Xiao felt that this matter was quite reasonable, so he no longer dwelled on what Zhong Zihong proposed before.

In the side hall, Zhong Li and Situ Lin sat opposite each other, talking in a low voice, with a smile in their eyes, but their faces remained as indifferent and cold as ever, and the atmosphere was quite strange for those who didn't know.

"Do you know about the rumors outside?" Situ Lin picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid and gently skimmed the tea leaves a few times, looking at Zhong Li with a smile.

Zhong Li gave him an undisguised disdain, "Is the prince knowingly asking?"

Situ Lin coughed lightly, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Zhong Li, "Miss Zhong has unique insights, so what are my intentions in asking like this?"

"The prince asked, on the surface, it seems to have something to do with the accident of my carriage, and there is also the property that has not yet opened. But in fact......" Zhong Li changed the topic halfway through his words, "Today's incident is remembered by Lao Shizi, and the rumors in the market must bring us a lot of trouble, I don't know how Shizi should deal with it?"

Situ Lin understood and looked at her with a serious expression, "The rumors have never been broken over the years, but now they have just filled in a lot, Miss Zhong thinks these rumors have become a problem for you?"

"It's just rumors, I've heard too much over the years, and I still have to live my life, and I feel sorry for myself for those rumors, and I wipe my neck and hang myself at every turn, wouldn't it make those who spread rumors and make things happy. She smiled lightly and said very calmly, "However, there are some rumors about the relationship between me and the son, which must make you more embarrassed!"

Outside the hall, Zhong Zihong seemed to be preoccupied, although Zhong Xiao's face was more gloomy, his hands under the wide sleeves suddenly tightened, and his bones were white.

Zhong Zihong obviously felt the change in his mood, and in order not to embarrass Zhong Li, he dragged him to the porch not far away, "Let's go in for a while, you must not be like this, lest Li'er find out that what she said is so free and easy, but after all, it is her daughter's family, how can she not care." ”

"Got it, I'm not going to upset my sister. Zhong Xiao took a deep breath, "Rumors, those rumors are clearly ...... , presumably these rumors are inseparable from the Fuyuan Temple. Today on the road and in the ancestral hall, they are not much tossed, how should my father deal with this matter?"

Zhong Zihong had a gloomy face and did not speak, he heard a lot of rumors after he returned to the court, and even became quite dissatisfied with Zhong Li because of this, but everything that happened afterwards did not match the rumors, and he was also very annoyed by this. Now, Zhong Xiao's question made him even more annoyed, but after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he naturally knew how to deal with these things, but now was not the time to deal with this matter.

"Xiao'er, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, don't be in a hurry, Li'er's reputation is important, do you know!" Zhong Zihong saw that he was quite impatient, so he reminded him a few words, "Let's go, we should also go to the side hall, there are still many things to do when the prince arrives in a while." ”

In the side hall, Zhong Li and Situ Lin exchanged information with each other, and then made an appointment to meet in Changyuan, and as for the prince's visit, the two also had a countermeasure.

When Zhong Zihong and Zhong Xiao entered the side hall, Situ Lin took out a box and handed it to Zhong Zihong, "Zhen Guogong, do you still recognize this box? ”

After Zhong Zihong saw the box, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he heard the words behind, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Where did the prince say, I naturally recognize this box, originally I also wanted to hand over the box in Zhongfu to the prince, since the prince has given the objects in the box to Li'er, there is nothing wrong with it, so I didn't forgive it and just said." The words were full of joy, which made everyone in the side hall confused for a while, but the two people who spoke looked like they knew it.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, the Lin family, who got the news, kept urging the girl to dress up for Zhong Qinghe, with a momentum of wanting to compare Zhong Li. also told Qinghe from time to time.

The prince on the other side, walking and stopping slowly along the way, attracted the eyes of the provinces, and the news he released also spread, the prince learned that the future princess had an accident, the prince was anxious, and personally invited the queen Yizhi to take the imperial doctor to visit the Zhongfu of Zhenguo Gongzhong.

On the carriage, Ye Yang's hand tapped on the box beside him from time to time, and when he thought of the scene after Miss Zhongfu saw this gift, he couldn't help but laugh wantonly. In this way, Zhongfu became his position as a stable prince, and even ...... , suddenly fluttering.

"Master, the Zhenguo Mansion has arrived. ”

"Let's answer the door!" Before the words fell, Ye Yang leaned out, handed the brocade box in his hand to the attendant next to the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage.

At this time, the door of the Zhenguo Mansion had been opened, and Zhong Zihong took Lin Yue and others to greet him, "The prince is coming, and he is disrespectful, rude, and rude." ”

Ye Yang walked up quickly with a smile on his face, pulled Zhong Zihong enthusiastically, and said quite courteously, "Zhenguo Gong is polite, Ye Yang suddenly came to visit, and I hope that Guogong will forgive me for my rashness." ”
