When the palace banquet was coming to an end, the Queen Mother sent Zi Yuan to call Jin Xi to her side.
"Jinxi greets the Queen Mother." Jinxi bowed respectfully.
"No gift! Girl, by this time next year, you should follow Yinzhen and call Ai family's Aunt Ukuma!" The Queen Mother smiled and motioned for Jinxi to stand up, and pulled her to sit beside her.
"The Queen Mother is right. By this time next year, our harem will have another well-behaved little daughter-in-law." Concubine Yi answered with a smile.
Accompanying the Queen Mother at the same table were several other concubines with higher status: Concubine Cuihui, Concubine Wenxi, Concubine De, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Liang, Concubine Qin, Concubine Cheng, except for the two concubines
, all the other concubines and concubines have children, so they can be granted the emperor's favor and attend the palace banquet.
Hearing Concubine Yi's playful words, they all covered their lips and smiled.
"Yifei is right. We are so blessed to have Jinxi as our fourth elder brother's blessing. Sisters can also ask the girl more about aromatherapy and physical therapy methods. The Queen Mother can no longer occupy her every day.
Why don't you go with me?" The noble lady Qi Hui, who currently has the highest status among the concubines, also pulled Jin Xi over and said with a smile.
"Hey, girl, look, they are complaining about the Ai family." Hearing this, the Queen Mother laughed loudly, pointing at the concubines and pretending to curse: "The Ai family didn't think clearly before, before the girl came.
, one by one, you all came to say hello very politely. At most, you would find an excuse to leave after drinking morning tea. The girl became active as soon as she came. Not only did she get up early every day to say hello, but she also refused to leave after saying hello. The original reason is
Here...girl, you heard it too, they all have noticed your abilities..."
"The Queen Mother's words are really going to hurt the hearts of the sisters. How can we rely on Yongshou Palace and refuse to leave? If there is someone like this, it must be Sister De Fei. Who makes this girl her eldest daughter-in-law?
!" The always cheerful concubine Qin has become more lively since she gave birth to her thirteenth brother. Privately, she and Concubine De are the closest and have the best personal relationship. Therefore, she is not afraid of Concubine De pursuing her for being disrespectful.
However, Concubine De was also dissatisfied with Jinxi because Yinzhen was increasingly alienated from her biological mother. She felt that Jinxi had taken away the warmth and care that Yinzhen originally intended to give her.
After listening to the concubine Qin's joke, her face stiffened immediately, "Sister, what are you talking about? Jin Xi will marry Zhen'er. This is the emperor's decree. Before... how could Jun Yi know?"
"Empress Dowager, don't listen to Sister De Fei's excuses. The Emperor is interested in Jinxi. This has been a long time ago. As early as half a year ago, the Emperor told his concubine that he wanted to give Jinxi to Si Age.
Fujin. Since my sister is the biological mother of Fourth Brother, how could she not know this news?" Concubine Yi took a piece of the Queen Mother's favorite water chestnut cake, put it on the dessert plate in front of the Queen Mother, and said to the Queen Mother's ear with a smile.
The reason why she deliberately undermined Concubine De in front of the Queen Mother was to hope that the Queen Mother could protect Jinxi. She had given birth to two sons in her life, and she probably had no chance to have another daughter. Therefore, Minrong's daughter was her daughter Qingluo.
.If she were outside the palace, she wouldn't have many opportunities to look after him. But now, once Jinxi marries Si Age, she will become a member of the royal family. If she doesn't protect him, who will?
"That makes sense. Even if the emperor wants to hide it from everyone, there is no reason to hide it from you, my mother-in-law." The queen mother nodded in agreement. She heard the emperor mention it twice. Once was when Jinxi first entered the palace.
, which can be regarded as giving myself a vaccination in advance. It means that this girl will be his granddaughter-in-law in the future. The other time was before moving to the palace last year, and Yinzhen must have specifically asked for the imperial edict.
"The Queen Mother! How dare I lie in front of the Queen Mother? The emperor has indeed never mentioned this matter to me. If he had mentioned it in advance, I would have made preparations in advance. How could I be like now, coming without any preparation?
I have met my daughter-in-law." Concubine De didn't believe her when she saw the Queen Mother, so she stood up in a hurry to accuse her. Although she was unhappy, she didn't want to deceive her. Besides, there was no need to give in to this matter.
She deceived.
Seeing this, Jinxi knew that she had become the trigger of this incident, and quickly supported Concubine De to comfort the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, Jinxi believes that Concubine De is really ignorant. Book fans also like to read: Because,
Jinxi doesn’t know about it either.”
Jinxi's childish words, which seemed to be resentful but not resentful, immediately dispersed the tense atmosphere in the table, causing everyone in the Queen Mother's table to laugh again. This could be regarded as resolving the embarrassment for Concubine De.
"You girl! Why do you want you to know when your elders are planning to marry you?" the Queen Mother pointed at Jinxi in a funny way and scolded her.
"But isn't it Jin Xi who is getting married?" Jin Xi argued in a nagging voice. She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time.
"Haha! Look, she looks like a nine-year-old girl. Before, the Ai family was fooled by her. They said she was already in school and was proficient in everything. How could there be a nine-year-old girl?
The shadow of my son. Now it seems that she is indeed a nine-year-old little girl!" The Queen Mother was closest to Jinxi, so she heard her murmur and sighed with a smile.
Seeing that the Queen Mother changed the topic intentionally or unintentionally, Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, she met the eyes of Concubine De, and had no time to guess what the eyes meant, so she could only smile kindly in return. I hope that the future mother-in-law in front of me, who has met several times but was not happy every time, is not
Those evil and stupid mothers-in-law in soap operas try their best to embarrass themselves...
………………
The palace banquet did not end until the zenith of the moon.
Feiyanggu was attacked in turn by several colleagues and accidentally drank too much. He had already been helped by a servant and got into his carriage to rest.
Jinxi, who was about to leave the palace and return home with Minrong, received a message from a strange little eunuch, saying that Zixia from Yongshou Palace had something urgent to ask her and asked her to go to the Octagonal Pavilion outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony to talk. Minrong hugged her
It was not convenient for Qi Ling to stand there and wait, so he left the palace gate first and waited for her in the carriage.
Jinxi followed the young eunuch to the Bajiao Pavilion.
"Eh? Didn't you say that Sister Zixia is looking for me in an emergency? Why is it you?" When she saw that the person waiting at the Bajiao Pavilion was actually Yinzhen instead of Zixia, Jinxi was surprised but also understood. Book fans also like
Look: Yinzhen is looking for her now, presumably because he wants to propose marriage to the emperor.
"If I don't explain the matter to you today, I think you won't be willing to see me in private after the Chinese New Year." Yinzhen stepped down the steps, as if removing the snowflakes falling on Jinxi's shoulders, he pulled up the cloak for her and tied it.
He tightened his hat string and pulled her into the Octagonal Pavilion.
It's not that Jinxi has never held hands with Yinzhen, but those few times before there were reasons, either she was in a hurry to do something and thought he was walking too slowly and took the initiative to pull him, or she accidentally fell when she was walking and Yinzhen helped her.
She had never been held by him while walking in such a grand manner. In addition, at today's palace banquet, Kangxi had just married the two of them, which made the atmosphere between the two more and more strange.
"What's so urgent?" Jinxi tried to struggle a few times, but she couldn't break free from Yinzhen's big palm. Also, although her skills were not bad, she was slightly worse than Yinzhen, who was guided by martial arts masters every day.
All in all.
"Tell me first, if the emperor doesn't propose marriage today, what are your plans in the future?" Yinzhen looked at Jinxi immersed in stroking his big palm, stroking it several times, without breaking away, and simply gave up.
Together they sat down on the wooden bench beside the pavilion.
"Did I tell you that you would go back to the emperor and ask him to take back this imperial edict?" Jinxi glared at him angrily and saw that he was looking at her with a half-smile but not a smile at all, not wanting to marry her at all.
worry.
"Hey, tell me the truth. Didn't you know about the emperor's engagement in advance?" Jin Xi stretched out her free right hand and couldn't help but poke his chest to vent her anger. How dare you disrupt her plan? What a shame.
beat.
"What if you know? So what if you don't know?" Yinzhen gave up. Seeing that Jinxi wanted to poke his chest again, he hurriedly took her right hand and locked her hands firmly in his big palms.
Just now he chuckled and sighed: "I came to you today just to tell you why I plan to choose you as my wife."
"So you already knew about the emperor's proposed marriage?"
"Well. It should be said that this is the will I asked Huang Ama for."
"you……"
"Hey, don't worry. Listen to me and tell me the reason. It's too late if you want to scold me again."
"Okay, tell me! Let's see what reasons you can come up with! Don't say nonsense about you falling in love with me at first sight or falling in love at second sight! I won't be fooled!"
"Pfft!" When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help bursting into laughter. Seeing that Jinxi looked like he wanted to peel off his skin before venting his anger, he could only clench his fists to hide the smile on his lips, and raised his eyes to look at the surrounding scenery.
, suppressing a smile, he said seriously: "It's freezing cold, your mother-in-law is waiting outside the palace again, and I won't go around in circles with you. Let's put it this way, we are the same kind."
"Who is the same as you?" Jinxi rolled her eyes inelegantly when she heard him give such an ambiguous answer, and couldn't help but mutter: "Girl, I come from the future, is it possible that you are too?"
After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at him. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen not only didn't show any surprise or confusion, but instead gave her a very meaningful smile. Finally, he stood up and pulled her up, stroking her cold shoulder.
With his cold cheeks, he coaxed in his clear and magnetic voice that gradually came out of the drake-like voice change period: "Go back and prepare for the wedding. I have vacated the entire warehouse of Dongsan Institute, waiting for placement.
Your dowry, don’t let my brothers who are just looking at the joke find out how to embarrass me!”
Jinxi was stunned for a long time, until she was pulled out of the palace by Yinzhen and boarded the carriage home, but she still had not recovered her senses.
He, he, he... are they really the same as me? Are they all from the modern era of the 21st century? Or are they just blind cats who bumped into dead mice, and were lucky enough not to hear what they were saying?
"Xi'er? Is it Brother Si who sent you here just now? Does he have anything to convey to us?" Minrong looked at her daughter's strange expression and asked in confusion.
"He wants us to prepare the dowry to fill his empty warehouses." Jinxi sighed weakly.
