Chapter 62
He stared at her, and suddenly, he smiled, showing his neat and beautiful teeth.

This smile, like the branches of snow piled up, can't hold back, and the snow dust scattered all over the ground, inadvertently, but it is fleeting.

The moment her dress turned around, Xiao Zijun reached out and grabbed her wrist. Unexpectedly, her steps were unsteady, and then she staggered and fell into his arms.

He took advantage of the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist, hiding something with his bottomless eyes, while she straightened her clothes with a flustered look on her face.

He loosened his arms, put his fists on his lips, and coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

Ning Qingqing didn't understand the meaning, just imitated him and took the tea on the table before and handed it over.

Xiao Zijuan had no choice but to take it and took a sip. His stern star eyes showed tenderness for the first time in front of her.

"Actually, this season, going south doesn't have much scenery, but it's not as interesting as the ice and snow in the north."

Ning nodded slightly, thinking about it.

Disappointment appeared in her shining eyes, and he continued to speak slowly, "Sit here."

Gently sat on his side obediently.

"However, the customs and customs in the south are different from those in the north. For example, in Luozhou..."

When she told an anecdote, her eyes sparkled and she couldn't help clapping her hands, but unfortunately she couldn't speak.

Xiao Zijun looked at her anxious appearance, his face seemed calm, but his heart was already full of sorrow.Qingqing has been taking the third pill for ten days, and has not seen the effect yet.

After a long time, Xiao Zijuan felt that the room was a bit cold, and wanted to call the maid to add charcoal, but turned his head to find that Ning Qingyuan had already dozed off.

He got up and patted her on the shoulder: "If you're sleepy, go to sleep."

Ning woke up with a jerk, forced her eyelids, shook her head, and gestured: "My lord, continue to talk."

Xiao Zijun looked at the sleepy concubine, and only shook his head.

That night, the concubine slept in the East Nuan Pavilion, but the prince went to the West Pavilion to rest alone.It's just that it was late at night, and Fuquan heard the prince tossing and turning, as if he had slept restlessly all night.

On the second day, Ning gently returned to the Hou Mansion.

Sure enough, Su Changqing failed to leave the Hou Mansion.

……

In a few days, the envoys from Western Chu arrived, and a banquet was held in the palace.The queen also invited several close officials and their family members to the palace banquet, which she paid special attention to.

Ning Qingqing met her father, sister, and brother-in-law at the banquet.Marquis Ning was invited without further ado, but Sun Qiyou invited him despite his young age, presumably because of Mrs. Sun's status as a princess.

Before the banquet, he gently held his elder sister by the side, talking happily, and others glanced over from time to time.With Ning Qingqing's hand gestures, everyone has already guessed that she is King Jin's dumb concubine without introduction.

Gently felt that someone was paying attention to her, so she lowered her head, stopped making gestures, and only listened to her sister's soft words.Occasionally, he looked up and saw Xiao Zijun talking to several prince officials, it seemed that his eyes had never looked at him.

She pulled her elder sister away from everyone's attention, but she heard her sister say: "Daddy is here, we better not go elsewhere. It will save Daddy and King Jin unhappy for a while."

Ning glanced lightly, and when she saw her father coming, it seemed that her father glanced over inadvertently, but quickly turned her head away.He bit his lip lightly, very depressed.

Ning Zhihuan was dressed in court clothes, in his forties, with a vigorous figure, as if he was still a great general galloping on the battlefield back then, speaking to the prince with a smile and a harmonious voice.Then he saw King Jin who was a few steps away, he said a few words to the prince first, and then greeted him.

"The old minister has met the King of Jin." After all, the king and the minister are different, and Ning Zhihuan wants to greet his son-in-law.

Xiao Zijun's stern face cleared up slightly, and he replied lightly, "You're welcome, Marquis Ning." Then he made a gesture of invitation and talked a few words.

Ning Qingyuan saw her father bowing to King Leng, suddenly she couldn't tell what it was like.

After a few months of marriage, I can't go back to the Marquis Mansion freely like others, and even my father has to bow down to King Jin.She was very dissatisfied. Isn't the prince's status more noble than that of King Jin? The prince treats his father with respect, but he still puts on airs.

He just slightly ignored the fact that Marquis Ning was the prince's master of martial arts and one of the prince's tutors.This relationship dilutes the courtesy of the king and his ministers.Moreover, Marquis Ning has always supported the prince and is very familiar with him.

When Ning was in a daze, her elder sister poked her, she bit her lip, and looked in the direction of her father again, just meeting his eyes, and there was both sternness and kindness of his father in those eyes.

For some reason, when she thought of her big wedding, tears were clearly shining in her father's eyes when she looked at her, and thoughts surged in her heart.

Wei Wei found the figure of the fifth prince in the crowd again. Xiao Ziyuan was still young, and against the backdrop of several emperor brothers, he was neither tall and stalwart nor majestic. From the eyes of ordinary people, the fifth prince was weak and elegant. Looking at it lightly, it is independent of the world and extraordinary.

Xiao Zijuan glanced at Ning Qingyuan in the crowd, and then moved away lightly, so lightly that no one could notice it.

*
At the night banquet, the palace feasted, singing and dancing.

All the ministers took their seats one after another, and at the moment of excitement, Li Yanping, the eunuch of the inner court, shouted: "The emperor is here!"The empress is here!

All the seats stood up and greeted them in unison, and there was silence for a while.

In the group of female relatives, Ning Qing secretly glanced at the guard of honor of the emperor and empress.The emperor Xiao Yan wore a dark golden dragon, with a majestic figure and a solemn figure, while the queen was very gorgeous and noble, and they climbed the steps hand in hand, looking like a deep love, which can be a model of love for all people.

After the emperor spoke, everyone slowly got up and walked aside.Only a few princes stayed in the palace, and after being questioned by the emperor, the father and son answered a few words before returning to their seats.

"Today's banquet is regarded as a family banquet. The courtiers here are all the ministers of Daqi, so don't be restrained. When King Qin of Chu Kingdom and his envoys come together, and King Jin's newlyweds gather for the first time, all the courtiers will have their own wedding. Sit down and drink to your heart's content." The queen spoke with a smile.

Everyone looked at the prince of Xichu and several envoys, and nodded as a gesture of courtesy, and the atmosphere eased a little.

In formal occasions, men and women are generally divided into seats, and the distinction between respect and inferiority is very strict.This time the empress said so, so the order of sitting has changed in the royal family.

Ning lowered her head slightly as if she didn't understand what was going on, so she heard the reminder from the person behind her: "The lord let the princess go." She looked up and saw that Xiao Zijun had already stood up and looked over here. He gestured goodbye.

Sitting lightly on the left side of King Jin, I felt that everyone was looking at me for a moment, as if I heard someone whispering: Look, that is the dumb concubine of King Jin.

She lowered her head, and finally couldn't hold back and stabbed King Jin.

After Jin Wang was poked, he looked over indifferently, and signed softly: "I am reckless, I need the prince to mention more."

Xiao Zijun nodded without saying a word, looked straight ahead, and looked forward.
