Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 118 The Lantern Festival
He quickly walked around the screen, but there was no one outside, so he took a few quick steps to step out of the hall, but only saw the corner of the cherry skirt flashing past the palace gate.

Zhan Xi frowned slightly, his eyes filled with deep thought.

Seeing the prince walking out of the hall in a hurry, but still standing motionless at the entrance, the palace servants could only step forward and ask cautiously:
"Your Highness, do you have something to order?"

Zhan Xi shook his head, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you just see who entered the palace privately?"

The palace servants did not dare to be perfunctory, so they immediately pondered, and then answered in fear after a while: "Returning to Your Highness, the servant has been staring at the door of the palace just now, and has never let the palace servants in, but the fourth princess came here just now, and told the servant not to come in." Excuse me..."

Because the prince and the fourth princess often come to Fengyi Palace, and the queen does not shy away from the two children, so the palace people listened to Zhan Jin's words and did not pass them on.

"Nin'er?" Zhanxi didn't expect such a coincidence, what he and the queen mother said just now must have been heard by that girl.

The prince's words were full of surprise, and the palace servants' eyelids trembled when they heard it.

Strange, according to what the prince said, they didn't seem to see the fourth princess?
In fact, just now he also wondered why the fourth princess came out after staying for a while today, but when the other party came out, his expression was as usual, so he didn't think much about it, now it seems that there must be some hidden reason.

No matter what happened in it, he was not a slave to know.

Thinking of this, the palace man buried his head lower again.

In order to save the queen from worrying, Zhanxi turned and entered the hall.

"How, who dares to inquire about the news of my Fengyi Palace?" The queen's face was sullen.

"It's Jin'er, she must have been a little frightened after hearing what we just said."

The queen was taken aback when she heard the words, and subconsciously looked outside the empty hall, a little worried for her daughter.

"This child, why don't you come in since you've listened to me? How can I, a mother, be cruel enough to ignore her?"

Zhan Xi didn't speak. He and the queen both knew that it was because Zhan Jin was so sensible that he didn't want the queen mother and the emperor to make things difficult for her.

"My son, go and talk to her. After all, I am the prince. With me as the guarantor, she shouldn't be too worried."

The queen couldn't agree more: "Talk to her carefully, tell her that the queen mother will not let her be sent to Beimu even if she tries her best, and just be my most honorable princess in Jingyan with peace of mind."

Zhan Xi took the order, and after coming out of Fengyi Palace, he went straight to the Jinyu Palace where Zhan Jin lived.

The two people who knew their daughter or younger sister best guessed correctly, Zhan Jin had indeed called out at this time and the palace man was sitting in a daze in the palace room.

Her eyes stared at the bright sunshine outside the window, but there was no focus in her eyes, as if she was wandering away.

As soon as Zhanxi entered the palace, he saw such a depressed younger sister from the window outside, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Jin'er."

Zhan Jin was awakened by her brother's voice, and when she looked up, she found that he had already stood outside the window where she was, and the two stared at each other silently.

After a few breaths, Zhanxi let out a long sigh, unwilling to see her keep all her worries in her heart.

"Jin'er, you are unhappy in your heart, why don't you tell your brother, don't you still believe me and the queen mother's love for you?"

"elder brother……"

Zhan Jin didn't know how to express the distress in her heart, but it was not that she didn't trust these two people she trusted the most.

She lowered her head, hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice: "With you here, I'm not worried about marrying Beimu, I'm just a little sad."

She is just a little sad. Throughout the ages, why in the eyes of everyone, the relationship between the two countries has to be maintained through the marriage of a weak woman? Could it be that when the two countries are at odds, which side will give in because of this poor woman who married far away? ?

The establishment of a state or a breakup has never been decided by the married person. She is like a tool, a icing on the cake, and no one cares at all.

If there is peace between the two countries, the married princess will feel better. If there is a war, she may immediately become the first soul to be killed by the sword.

As a princess, she was born with extraordinary dignity. This is her luck and her misfortune.

Even if she will not be used by the father to marry her this time, who can guarantee that there will be no other second kings in the future? If the king comes to beg her, will the father refuse again and again?

Perhaps, she can only hope that Jingyan Dynasty will always be strong, only its strength can give her the dignity of the so-called princess.

Zhan Jin didn't say these words, she didn't know how her brother, who is the heir to the throne, viewed this matter.

She couldn't guarantee that if she wasn't the emperor's own sister, would he still refuse to exchange the marriage of a princess for the surrender of another state?

"I'm just a little sad... I let my mother and brother worry about me." Zhan Jin replied to Zhan Xi who was outside the window.

"Why do you blame yourself, you and I are close relatives of flesh and blood, and I am happy to run around for you."

Through the window, Zhanxi couldn't touch her sister's head comfortingly as before, so she could only stand with the backlight to cover the slightly harsh light for her, so that she could see the expression on her face more carefully.

"You just need to remember that no matter what happens in the future, I will always stand in front of you. You just grow up happily, find a man to marry and have children, and live a happy life, and I will be satisfied."

When Zhan Jin was born, Zhan Xi was already sensible. He grew up with this little girl who was always behind him. Naturally, there is no need to say more about how deep the relationship between brother and sister is. These words are all his most sincere wishes to his sister. .

"Jin'er remembered it!" Zhan Jin was moved by her brother's words, her eyes were slightly red, and her nose couldn't help but feel sour.

It's hard not to be moved by her brother's gentle care. The luckiest thing in her life is to have these two relatives who love her wholeheartedly.

Looking at the younger sister who was about to shed tears, Zhanxi laughed and said, "Put this little bean away quickly. If the mother knows that instead of making you smile, I made you cry, how can it be good?"

Zhan Jin smiled through tears, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes as she said.

"That's right, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, she should smile more, because she has never shed tears in her life." Zhanxi praised her sister as she watched her face become radiant again with satisfaction.

"These days, my mother and I are busy with the New Year's affairs. Is it boring to keep you in this palace?"

Zhan Jin shook her head: "It's nothing, Yu'er often comes to my palace with ingots, with him as an annoying spirit, how can I be bored."

Not only was she not bored, but she also got a headache from Zhan Yu's hissing about leaving the palace. She only hoped that Brother Nine and Lan Xi could take care of this guy.

It's strange to say that because of the unfavored treatment, Zhan Yu's temperament has been raised a bit biased, which means he is a little bully.
