The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 159 Consider Marrying Me (Part [-])
After sending off Emperor Taihe and Bo Qinghuan, the mourning hall finally became quiet again. Fan Yue looked at the coffin and slowly ordered, "Cover the coffin!"

Hearing the sound, Qian Mo immediately led two people to slowly close the coffin lid.

"Second Lord." Qianmo looked at the direction where Bao Qinghuan left, pursed his lips and said, "My subordinates always feel that Governor Bo is trying to help us."

Fan Yue didn't speak. Although he didn't understand why the boss was gone, Bo Qinghuan still helped him intentionally or unintentionally, but it was better than fighting him everywhere.

"Has my concubine woke up?" Fan Yue asked, looking away.

Qianmo shook his head, "This subordinate has been here before, and I don't know the situation in the princess's courtyard."

Fan Yue said: "Now that no one is coming to offer condolences, you should take a quick look."

Qianmo responded and was about to leave the mourning hall, when Princess Chu's cry could be faintly heard outside.

Fan Yue's heart twitched, and he stepped forward quickly.

Qianmo also followed.

Concubine Chu had already changed into plain clothes, and was supported by her maid, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Fan Yue supported her, his voice was low and hoarse, "Mother Concubine."

"Ayue." Princess Chu leaned on Fan Yue's shoulder, weeping uncontrollably, "I was alone when I went, why did I come back like this?"

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, my son will definitely avenge the boss!" Fan Yue clenched his molars, every word filled with hatred that would destroy heaven and earth.

Princess Chu cried on Fan Yue's shoulder for a while before she slowly straightened up and walked towards the coffin, her tone was cold, "21 years ago, I sent your father away at this place, I never thought that 21 years later, I would have to be here again Send your elder brother away, Ayue, what do you think our family did wrong, why does God not open his eyes, and take away the relatives I care about the most?"

Fanyue didn't say a word, it's not that God doesn't open his eyes, it's that the superiors are stupid and oppress others with power.

He didn't dare to say these words, and he didn't dare to let Princess Chu know that the boss died under the poisonous hands of the dog emperor.

Concubine Chu stood alone in front of the coffin and murmured for a long time before turning around, with doubts on her face, "Why don't you see girl Se?"

Fan Yue said: "Mother, sister-in-law, she has a high fever, and her hands are seriously injured, so go back to the residence to rest."

Princess Chu immediately became worried, "How could she get hurt?"

Fan Yue thought for a while, and said truthfully: "On the night I received the news, I took my sister-in-law to Huating Mountain, and my sister-in-law went to dig up the boss's body in person. After digging for a whole night, blood was drawn from both hands, and then she couldn't hold on and collapsed. After falling down, I developed a high fever again at night."

Before Fan Yue finished speaking, Princess Chu frowned, her face distressed, "Why is this girl so stubborn?"

"Sister-in-law is also because she cares too much about elder brother." Fan Yue's breathing hurts, he can fully understand Jing Se's sad feeling that she doesn't want to face this coffin, if it's any other woman, even if she was the one who watched her father's tomb enter the coffin with her own eyes The mother and concubine were crying so hard that they could hardly stop, but the sister-in-law had never shed a single tear in front of him so far.

Fan Yue knew in his heart that if the sister-in-law didn't cry, it didn't mean she didn't care about the boss.

On the contrary, she loved so deeply that she was so painful that she had no tears.

"Where's Xiaobao?" Princess Chu asked again with red eyes.

"I was taken away by my sister-in-law." Fan Yue replied: "She said that Xiao Baozi is not suitable to stay in Chu Palace for the past two days, and let him come back after the funeral here."

Concubine Chu nodded with tears in her eyes, "This girl...has encountered such a thing before she got married, it really hurts her."

Fan Yue was worried that Princess Chu would stay any longer, so he felt sad again, "Concubine Mother, Grandpa vomited blood earlier, we mother and son went to see him, it would be good if we let Qianmo preside over here."

Princess Chu was shocked, "What did you say?"

Although he occasionally felt the wind and cold, the old prince's body has always been extremely healthy, how could a slight wind and cold make him so severe that he vomited blood?
"Grandpa was angered by the dog emperor." Fan Yue said angrily.

Princess Chu was very anxious, "Stop talking, let's go and have a look first."

She already lost her husband and eldest son, and if she lost another relative, Princess Chu couldn't imagine whether she would completely collapse.

The mother and son walked hurriedly, and soon came to the courtyard of Old Prince Chu.

The old prince Chu had already rested, and it was inconvenient for Princess Chu to go in, so she sat down next time, and let Fan Yue go over to say hello.

Fan Yue smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine when he entered the door. He wrinkled his nose and stepped forward, asking with concern: "Grandpa, how are you doing?"

Old Prince Chu coughed twice and then sat up straight. Fan Yue immediately handed him a big pillow to lean on.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Old Prince Chu said, "Xuan Zheng came to see it before, but it was just the wind and cold caught up with the fire, and he vomited a little blood for a while, but it's nothing serious."

Fan Yue pursed his lips tightly, "Grandpa, do you know the cause of the boss' death?"

Mentioning this, the old prince of Chu coughed twice again, his face frosty and cold, "I thought that once your father died, the military power would be transferred to the imperial court, and the Chu prince's mansion would be peaceful for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, the superior would not give up at all. The grass still needs to be uprooted. This incident happened so suddenly, it was completely beyond my expectation, and what surprised me the most was that in order to deal with the Chu Palace, the Tian family did not hesitate to dispatch the never-seen Huo Chiwei."

Speaking of this, the old prince of Chu gave a long sigh, "When the ancestors selected and trained the Huo Chiwei for the Taizu, they said: when the Huo Chiwei comes out, the world will be chaotic. The emperor may be impulsive and want to get rid of the mess sooner. The Chu Palace could not wait to summon Huo Chiwei, but it was precisely because of this impulsiveness that he forgot about the legacy of his ancestors."

Fan Yue was surprised, "So, before the country is destroyed, Huo Chiwei cannot see the light?"

"That's true." The old prince of Chu nodded, "Huo Chiwei can fight against a hundred with one, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can fight against hundreds with one. As the ultimate killer of the Gu family, their responsibility is to destroy the country." The sun rises to save the country, ensuring that the Gu family can be passed on for thousands of years. Although the current West Qin has frictions with the Tatars on the border, it is only a small-scale war, and it is not enough to shake the foundation of the West Qin. Come on, Xiqin can still be regarded as a prosperous country and a peaceful country, but the emperor summoned Huo Chiwei at this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the ninth-fifth position will change hands."

Fan Yue was shocked when he heard it, "Is Huo Chi Wei really so powerful?"

The old prince Chu nodded, "I didn't make them a myth at all. The reason why the Huo Chiwei can't see the light is because once summoned, there will be unimaginable large-scale movements. It is easy for spies from other countries to find the movement and pinch the raft to send it back. The explosion and collapse of Huating Mountain this time, although only Shen Xiaozi was injured, the movement was huge, and the news may have been sent back to Dongli. The regent of Dongli has long wanted to swallow Xiqin, once he knows With the existence of Huo Chiwei, he will definitely find ways to destroy Huo Chiwei, once this layer of barrier is lost, the Western Qin Dynasty will be truly in danger."

Fan Yue snorted angrily: "If you want me to say, the dog emperor is not worthy to be the master of the Western Qin Dynasty. If Dong Li comes to destroy the country, it's better to let the Yin family rule than the small-minded people like the Gu family. Much more."

The old prince of Chu was about to be laughed at by him, "You brat, do you think that war is just for fun? No matter what kind of war it is, the people who suffer the most and the most pitiful are the people. The people are the foundation of a country. If this country There are no common people on the land. In the future, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, who will he rule? Therefore, as a superior, the first thing to consider is the common people. It is a pity that the emperor's thoughts are all focused on the centralization of power. First, he has been in office for so many years, and he has been eliminating dissidents, suppressing the family of high-achieving masters, and putting the people in the second place. The ancestors of the Fan family once said that the Chu Palace is loyal to the Western Qin Dynasty, not the superiors. Therefore, no matter whether the Chu Palace has military power or not, whether it participates in politics or not, when the country is in crisis, it must immediately take the people as the benchmark, and if the people are there, the country will be there."

Fan Yue's face was reddened by the old prince Chu's words, and he said awkwardly: "Grandpa, what your grandson said just now, you just treat me as nonsense, brother was always thinking about the West Qin Jiangshan when he was alive, now that he is gone, I am His younger brother should fulfill all his last wishes for him, and the grandson assured his grandfather that he will definitely take it as his own responsibility to protect the West Qin country and the people, and live up to his elder brother's painstaking efforts during his lifetime."

Old Prince Chu nodded, "You boy, you finally said something decent. If you had done this earlier, I would be more relieved, old man."

Fan Yue's expression darkened, "If my grandson had understood the important mission of the Chu Palace earlier, maybe my brother would not have died tragically at the hands of Huo Chiwei."

"It's useless." The old prince of Chu smiled wryly, "Since the emperor has murderous thoughts on the Chu palace, no matter how we evade it, we can't escape this catastrophe. , that’s what you said.”

Fan Yue gritted his teeth, "But it's too shameless for him to use the Huo Chiwei that his ancestors trained for their Gu family to turn against us."

"Steady." Old Prince Chu reminded, "We have no choice but to endure."

Fan Yue couldn't swallow this breath, his fists were tightly clenched.

"By the way, how is your mother and concubine?"

"I've woken up, and now I'm waiting here in your yard, let me come and visit you first!"

"Go and tell her that I'm fine, so that she doesn't have to worry about it." The old prince Chu said: "Whoever comes to express condolences these two days, they should receive them with a normal heart, and don't make big mistakes on the spur of the moment, so as not to regret it in the future Too late."

Fan Yue naturally knew this truth well, he nodded, "Thank you for the teaching, grandpa, my grandson will remember it."

"Go back." The old prince Chu showed a little tiredness, and waved away people, "I'll rest for a while, you go to guard the mourning hall, don't let people make trouble."

"Grandpa, grandson is leaving." Fan Yue stood up, cupped his hands at Old Prince Chu, closed the door and walked out.

Princess Chu was still waiting in the Xici room, when she saw Fan Yue approaching, she stood up anxiously, "A Yue, how is your grandfather?"

"It's okay." Fan Yue said: "Uncle Xuanzheng said that he was just in a hurry, so just prescribe a prescription and adjust it."

Concubine Chu stroked her chest with lingering fear, "That's good, I'm still worried that I might become consumptive."

"No." Fan Yue reassured, "Grandpa was the god of war when he was young, and his body and bones are naturally not comparable to ordinary people. If he hadn't met his elder brother, he would not have aggravated his illness. Since Uncle Xuanzheng said no. Don’t worry too much about it, Mother Concubine.”

"En." Chu Wangfei said: "You have been tired for so long, go back and rest first, I will go to the mourning hall to watch over."

"Mother and concubine, I'm not tired." The elder brother's death is like a lead stone on his chest. As long as he closes his eyes, his mind will be full of scenes of his elder brother being engulfed by the fire. Scene after scene, it is like a cold ghost holding him Throat, no matter how hard to breathe.

"Ah...you boy." Princess Chu sighed, seeing the uneasiness in Fan Yue's heart, and did not persuade him any more, and the mother and son returned to the mourning hall.

The lid of the coffin was already closed, and seeing the pitch-black color made people panic.

Fan Yue knelt in front of him, his expression was in a trance, and the ghost paper in his hand kept throwing into the brazier.

Princess Chu closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart: My son, if there is an afterlife, mother hopes that you will join the common people's family and be an ordinary person who can live a safe life.

*
Fan Shen died, the emperor mourned, and ordered the whole city to mourn for three days.

In the eyes of others, this is a great favor to the Chu Palace and a deep mourning for the death of Brahma.

When Jingse woke up, she found that the city was full of deserts, and after asking, she found out that it was Taihe Dite's secret decree.

Curving the corners of her lips, Jing Se smiled coldly, pretending to be merciful as cats cry and mice, in the eyes of the old emperor, the white silks all over the city are now celebrating his victory.

In the past three days, the ministers and ministers who went to the Chu Palace to express their condolences came one after another, even the three masters of the Jing family went one after another, and the number of people who came to visit Jingse continued to increase. The female relatives, followed by the palace servants around concubine Shu, the palace servants around the empress, the palace servants around the empress dowager, and the fourth master of Uncle Fu Ning's mansion brought Su Ruoyu to come, and finally the mansion of the Duke of Jin.

It was the Yao family and the Ning family who came to the Duke of Jin's mansion, and they brought a lot of valuable gifts.

Jingse didn't get up, and asked Yingluo to invite them to the main room.

As soon as Yao and Ning entered, they saw Jing Se who was sitting on the head of the bed and described her haggard, and felt distressed for a while.

"Girl Se, how are you?" Yao's eyes suddenly turned red.

When encountering this kind of thing, don't say that Jing Se is just a little girl, even people like them who have lived for dozens of years can't support it.

"Second aunt, third aunt." Jing Se called out politely, "Is First Aunt okay?"

The second prince, Gu Beiming, was defeated. Originally, he was responsible for the serious crime of forcing the palace to pass on the throne, but behind the second prince is the Duke of Jin's mansion. The Duke of Jin and the third master Su are now stationed at the border. They are the greatest guardians of the West Qin Jiangshan. Moving the Duke of Jin's mansion is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the country.

Therefore, Emperor Taihe thought twice and did not implicate anyone, not even the second concubine Su Xun was punished in the slightest.

One is because she is the eldest daughter of the head of the Duke of Jin’s mansion, and the other is because Su Xun gave birth to the eldest grandson for the royal family. Among the princes of the royal family, only the second prince is currently married, and only the second prince has children. Therefore, the eldest grandson of the emperor was especially loved by Emperor Taihe.

Although Su Xun was not involved in the slightest, it is a fact that she lost her husband, and her mother, Dong Shi, will definitely feel sad about it.

Yao Shi sat in front of the couch, held Jing Se's tightly wrapped hand, and said distressedly: "Son, you are already like this, why are you still thinking about your eldest aunt?"

Originally, Jing Se didn't want to worry about anyone other than Fan Chen, but the Duke of Jin's mansion was her maternal ancestral home, and more importantly, the people at the ancestral home were very good to her. Sometimes, no matter how cold-blooded and selfish she is, it is impossible not to say hello.

With a slight sneer in his eyes, Jing Se said, "All I can do now is just say hello."

"Don't say that." Ning interrupted her, "You are just a child in his early twenties, those annoying things, adults will worry about them, whoever is so cruel is willing to let you trouble yourself, girl, just don't worry about it. Taking care of other people's business is the most important thing."

From the moment they entered the door to now, no matter Yao or Ning, they never mentioned Fan Chen, and only spoke about her concern.

Jingse's eye sockets became hot.

My own family members are not half as good as my grandfather's family.

When the female relatives in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion came to see her, except for Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Luo, everyone else had to say a few words about Fan Chen to make her sad.Especially Liu Shi, seeing Jing Se like this, was full of pleasure in her heart, thinking that it was Jing Se's retribution for harming her daughter. When she came here in the morning, she said a few words with a gun and a stick, and finally she was angry Qing'er was kicked out.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, it's great to have relatives like you." Jing Se was moved in his heart, and couldn't say anything else nice, but only this sentence came out of his mouth.

"You silly girl." Yao adjusted the position of the big pillow for her so that she could lean on comfortably, "Your mother is our only eldest sister-in-law, she has been gone for so many years, you are lonely in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and After going outside to suffer so much, even though your third aunt and I married into the Duke of Jin’s mansion outside, we still love you from the bottom of our hearts. This man has three wives and four concubines. Besides, the newcomer will come, change the world, I heard that the new mistress is coming soon, I originally thought that when you get married and go to Chu Palace in April, you won't have to mediate with the women in the back house of Youxiang Mansion, I didn't expect... well...after I go back, I'll go to discuss with your grandmother to see if I can take you to live there for a long time."

"Second aunt is bothering you." Jing Se shook her head lightly, "I still have a lot of things to do here, so as not to go to the Duke of Jin's mansion to cause trouble for you, this idea, second aunt, let's take it as never."

Yao frowned, unable to bear it, glanced at Hao Hao who was sleeping soundly next to Jing Se, and sighed: "How can you bring up this child by yourself?"

"It's okay." Jing Se said: "Hao Hao is the great-grandson of the Chu Palace, and he will not be abandoned over there. I brought him here this time because I don't want him to see the shadow of the mourning hall over there. As for the future Let’s talk about the matter after the funeral at the Chu Palace.”

Yao shi advised her not to move, and kept sighing.

If this little girl had never given birth to a child, she would be able to choose a new husband after Fan Chen's incident in the future, but she already has a son, how will she live in the future?
Jing Se saw Yao's worry, and smiled in relief, "Second Aunt and Third Aunt, please don't worry, I have my own plans."

Yao Shi also knew that Jing Se was a mature child who had always had her own opinions, so after hearing what she said, she no longer forced her to go to the Duke of Jin's mansion.

The two sisters-in-law sat for a long time before heading back home.

*
Gu Beiyu was "comatose due to relapse of old injury" and did not wake up for three days. Emperor Taihe went out of the palace to see him in person.

It so happened that the little princess Gu Xiaoxiao was also there.

"Xiaoxiao, why did you leave the palace?"

Emperor Taihe looked at the petite figure standing in front of the bed, and frowned.

Gu Xiaoxiao turned a deaf ear, staring at Gu Beiyu who was on the bed.

"Xiaoxiao?" Emperor Taihe called out again with displeasure on his face.

Gu Xiaoxiao turned around reluctantly, her eyes filled with tears, her tone was not kind, "I've been guarding my third brother's sick bed like this, why is Father so knowingly asking?"

Emperor Taihe's pupils shrank, "Presumptuous! It's fine to see me being rude, how dare you speak to me in such a tone?"

Gu Xiaoxiao is the youngest princess in the royal family, she is straightforward, and she is usually the best friend with Gu Beiyu.

Hearing what Emperor Taihe said, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly lost her temper. She stood up abruptly, her eyes were red, "When I usually go to pay my respects to my father, you always say that you don't need to be too polite. Today I'm not going to be too polite, but you're blaming me instead, why, as the king of a country, father, are all those words deceitful?"

Emperor Taihe choked so much that his face turned red.

"Bold—" It took an unknown amount of time before Emperor Taihe came to his senses and was furious, "What's your attitude?"

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, although she was not Emperor Taihe's favorite daughter, Emperor Taihe had never yelled at her in such a tone.

But in a blink of an eye, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes became even redder, "I just want to ask, why did the father arrange for the third elder brother to go to Huating Mountain when he knew that the third elder brother was seriously injured? Why did the father arrange for him to go to Huating Mountain? There are so many sons of the father, but he is just directing the planner. It's just the dead son's body, which prince is so stupid that he can't even do this? No matter how bad it is, you still have so many courtiers to send, but it's not good who you choose, but you want to choose the third brother who was injured by the sword for you. Was it on purpose? Now that the third brother is unconscious again, are you happy to see this scene?"

Emperor Taihe choked again, followed by uncontrollable rage, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Xiaoxiao on the face, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, "You really don't make sense, I'm your father, how dare you use such a To question me?"

Gu Xiaoxiao staggered and fell to the ground after being beaten, she got up immediately, her eyes were red and painful, but she didn't shed tears.

Covering the swollen side of her face, Gu Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, Father, you are so high above the rest, the whole world dares not to obey, whoever you want to die will have to die. The third elder brother is the only one who can say that in this palace. The elder brother who spoke, if there is something wrong with him, father, you can kill even the sons and servants, and the loss of a sons and servants in the Nine Heavens will not shake every plant and tree in the Western Qin Dynasty."

Emperor Taihe turned livid with anger, "You have the guts to say it again!"

Gu Xiaoxiao choked with sobs, "I don't understand the affairs of court, I only know that when your father is in danger, only the third brother is willing to stand up for you, but the father is unwilling to understand the difficulties of the third brother. Injured, I went to Huating Mountain overnight to dig the soil with someone, and now the old injury has recurred, can the father have a good conscience?"

"You!" Taihe Dinu pointed at her, his fingers were shaking.

"These words today, even if the father killed the son, the son will also say it." Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head, her face was not as naughty and straightforward as before, but calm, "Whether the father will pass on the throne in the future To whom, I just beg you, don't hurt third brother, third brother is the best of all my brothers."

The words that Taihe Emperor rushed to his mouth to scold Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly froze.

Gu Xiaoxiao was right. When he was in danger, only the third child was willing to rush out to block the sword, and the one who was usually the most indifferent to the world was also the third child. He could completely let others go on this trip to Huating Mountain. So the third child was arranged, but he wanted to take advantage of the relationship between the third child and Jing Se, and use him to further verify that it was Fan Chen himself who was buried in Huating Mountain.

However, to Emperor Taihe's surprise, instead of passing the accurate news to the palace, Gu Beiyu relapsed from his old injury before he collapsed.

Thinking of this, Emperor Taihe's tense expression finally relaxed, he looked at the maid standing outside, and asked, "Have you asked the imperial physician to see it?"

The maid knelt on the ground and replied, "Report to the emperor, the imperial physician has already arrived."

"How to say?"

"The imperial doctor ordered that the Third Highness's wound has recurred due to overwork, and she will probably be in a coma for another day and night before waking up. After waking up, don't overwork, otherwise the wound will be difficult to heal."

Emperor Taihe gave a soft "um" and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, "Since the third child will wake up in a day, you don't need to stay here anymore, pack up your things and go back to the palace immediately, so that he won't wake up and see you." It hurts you to look like this."

This time, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't refute again, and returned to the palace not long after resigning.

Emperor Taihe sat down in front of Gu Beiyu's couch, looked at the unconscious Gu Beiyu, and murmured, "Your third...you are really my good son."

Sun Dabao stood quietly listening to these words, and sighed silently. He has been with Emperor Taihe for decades, and he has long known that his master is suspicious by nature. The words just now seem to be lamenting that His Highness the Third Highness once came forward to help him. Blocking the sword seemed to be suspecting that the Third Highness's fainting was too coincidental, and no matter what it was, it fully showed that the emperor did not trust the Third Highness.

It can even be said that the emperor has never completely trusted any prince, including the prince Gu Gan who is far away in Mobei.

Glancing quietly at Emperor Taihe's back, Sun Dabao lowered his head again. He has been with the emperor for so long, but he still can't think deeply of the emperor.

That sentence is indeed true, Tianwei is unpredictable.

*
More than half a month ago, hunting in the paddock suddenly changed. Later, when he changed his way to Yanshan Palace, the second prince Gu Beiming launched the palace change again. Emperor Taihe was frightened. drag.

At the beginning of April, the Ministry of Rites posted a notice, saying: On the sixth day of April in the 29th year of Taihe, the tribute scholars of the world will be tested in the palace, and Zhang Shuo, Zuo Tongzheng, and Zhong Rui, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, will be ordered to read the papers.

The imperial examination procedure in the Western Qin Dynasty: before the imperial examination, there is a re-examination, and some people will be eliminated in this re-examination, and only those who are selected in the end will have the Emperor Taihe personally write the questions and invigilate the examination.

Jing Mingyuan was a tribute in February this year, and obviously he was also listed in the palace test.

Jing Yuhuan just received the news, and couldn't wait to come back to find Jing Mingyuan.

Hearing that the imperial examination was going to be in six days, Jing Mingyuan was overwhelmed with emotion. He studied harder and harder in the past two days, and locked himself in the study all day long. He couldn't even come out to sleep in the study except for eating.

The news of the Palace Examination on the sixth day of April was accidentally brought up by Mrs. Jiang when she came to see Jing Se.

Sitting on the small couch, Jing Se looked at the garden full of flowers outside, with a faint smile on her face, and congratulations in her mouth, before her scabbed heart seemed to be torn open by someone alive, Slowly bleed.

The sixth day of April...

It was originally the day when she married Fan Chen, but now that person is no longer by her side.

Jing Se didn't go to see the funeral at Prince Chu's mansion, and pretended it was nothing at all, but went to Prince Chu's mansion later when he sent Haohao back.

During this period of time, she locked herself in the room, touching the bright red wedding dress over and over again, hoping that on the sixth day of April, her fiancé would miraculously appear in front of her, and then smiled Tell her it's time for her to get married.

But the cruel reality repeatedly tormented her already riddled heart.

On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, Jing Mingyuan went to the imperial palace for an examination.

Jing Se sat in the courtyard with a brazier in front of her. On the vermilion lacquer tray next to her, the bright red wedding dress shone in the sunlight.

Picking up the scissors, Jingse cut the wedding dress into pieces one by one, and threw all the pieces into the brazier to burn them. Every cut felt like a bone-eating pain on her skin and the tip of her heart.

Yingluo, Qing'er and Miao'er hid not far away watching this scene, secretly wiping away tears.

On April 21st, Jing Mingyuan re-entered the imperial city, and Emperor Taihe gave and invigilated the examinations for all the selected tributes in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

Jing Yuhuan, Aunt Luo, and Jiang Shi all raised their hearts in their throats, praying nervously.

Jing Mingyuan studied hard for more than ten years, so that one day he would have the confidence to take Aunt Luo to separate the family when he was wearing an official robe.

At dusk, when Jing Mingyuan came out of the palace after the exam, Jing Yuhuan specially ordered a banquet to reward him for all his hard work.

Jing se also went, and offered two glasses of wine to Jing Mingyuan.

I was busy studying hard a few days ago, and I have no time to care about this younger sister.

Seeing Jing Se's haggard body and mind today, Jing Mingyuan felt unspeakably uncomfortable. He said: "My sister is the most strong-minded woman I know. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must grit your teeth and get through it. There is still a long way to go, you have to remember, you are not alone, you have an older brother."

Jing Se felt uncomfortable, and threw herself into Jing Mingyuan's arms in front of everyone. At this time, Jing Mingyuan didn't care about the restraints of etiquette, and stretched out his hand to gently pat her on the back.

Jing Se didn't cry, but sat back in Jing Mingyuan's arms for a while. She didn't have the mood to drink anymore, so she went back to her room early to rest.

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites released the list. Jing Mingyuan lived up to expectations and won the number one scholar in one fell swoop. The words are golden and bright.

Emperor Taihe set up a Luming Banquet for the number one scholar, and all officials celebrated together.

Except for Mu Yunju, the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with great joy.

Jing Se was still sitting on the rocking chair under the acacia tree in the small courtyard, looking up at the sky with a dull gaze.

Ying Luo, who came to deliver iced melons and fruits, sighed secretly and shook her head. If this continues, Miss Biao will definitely fall into severe depression.

Yingluo went to Qing'er to discuss how to get Miss Biao to open her heart, but Qing'er was helpless, "Unless Brahma can come back to life, otherwise there will be nothing in this world that can make Miss Biao happy again."

Yingluo went to look for Fan Yue in private, and Fan Yue said: "Try not to mention my boss in front of her, maybe she will get better after a while."

Yingluo couldn't help seeing Fanyue, so she went to Duke Jin's mansion to find the Duke's wife. After hearing Jingse's symptoms, the lady's heart ached even more, but she didn't dare to come to see her. She was afraid that if she saw Jingse, she would I couldn't help but want to cry, and when I cried, it would definitely bring up the sadness of that precious granddaughter and make her feel uncomfortable.

In desperation, Yingluo had no choice but to go to Chu Palace again, and begged Fanyue for a long time before bringing the little bun.

With the cute little bun in Muyunju, Jingse finally showed a smile on her face. When Yingluo saw Jingse smiling, she was so excited that she almost cried. It was finally worthwhile for her to run around.

After the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Jing Mingyuan obtained the consent of the old lady and Jing Yuhuan, and took his wife and children and Aunt Luo to separate and move to the new mansion.

As soon as Aunt Luo left, there was only Aunt Tao left in the big house. Aunt Tao with her big belly became more and more defiant, but she only treated the servants, and she still dare not come to Muyunju to provoke Jing Se.

Without the troubles of those women, Jing Se was happy and quiet. While she was carrying the little bun, she was counting the days with her fingers every day.

There are too many constraints in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she is in the current situation, she can't leave the mansion easily, so she can only hope that the Qiqiao Festival will come sooner, so that she can go out of the mansion to find Bao Qinghuan in a fair manner.

Throughout June, Jingse spent the torment of lovesickness, and occasionally went to the Chu Palace to visit the old prince and Princess Chu. The old prince has recovered and is in good spirits, and the princess of Chu has gradually come out of the pain of losing her son. , every time I see Jing Se, I hold her hand for a long time to comfort her.

Jing Se's expression was always indifferent. Princess Chu said something, and she responded without a word.

Flowing fire in July, Qiqiao Festival.

Like the Shangyuan Festival, the Qiqiao Festival is a day when boudoir women can step out of the gate openly.

It's only noon, and Jing Se's whole body is active, she speaks energetically, and can swallow food.

Yingluo Qing'er looked at each other in dismay, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

You know, in the first three months, Jingse lived like a walking dead. She stayed in Muyunju, and her heart and soul had already flown to nowhere. Even if Xiao Baozi occasionally came to Youxiangfu, she had never seen her so happy .

"Miss Biao, did you encounter any happy things today?" Yingluo stepped forward and asked tentatively.

Jing Se smiled, "Someone is going to be unlucky, so I'm happy."

Yingluo was confused, "Who is Miss Biao referring to?"

Jing Se turned around and tapped Yingluo's forehead, "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own opinion, you two hurry up and go out with me at night."

Yingluo immediately realized, "Miss Biao, today is the Qiqiao Festival!"

"I know." Jing Se replied lightly, "That's why I'm going out to find Bao Qinghuan."

Yingluo looked suspicious, maybe her cousin has changed her mind?
There was a sudden shock, Yingluo quickly stopped her thoughts, bowed her head and said, "Both slaves and maidservants will go get ready now."

When night fell, the girls in Youxiang's mansion all took their carriages to the market.

Jing Se met Bo Qinghuan as promised.

This man is as charming as ever.

Seeing her, he slightly curled his lips, "Miss Jing, I have to tell you a bad news and a good news."

Jing Se's face was light, "What?"

Bo Qinghuan said: "Gu Qian has already retreated and the Tatars are on their way back to the court. If you don't want to enter the East Palace, you'd better make preparations as soon as possible."

"What about the good news?"

Bo Qinghuan raised her eyebrows, "You can consider marrying me, if you agree, I will tell you another great news."
