The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 163
"Break the engagement?" The queen mother was full of surprise, "Girl Se, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Know."

"You and Shen boy have been engaged for more than 20 years." The queen mother couldn't bear it. Although Fan Chen was gone, she suddenly found it difficult to accept Jing Se's proposal to break the marriage.

Jing Se smiled, "The empress dowager is right. The courtier has a marriage contract with the Brahma prince for more than 20 years. Since I am 21 years old and he hasn't married me, it means that he doesn't want a courtier from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, how can he marry me?" Will you let the courtiers wait until this time?"

"Furthermore." Jing Se continued: "Prince Brahma is no longer here, and it doesn't make sense for me to keep this marriage contract alone. It's better to destroy each other and let each other go. He walks his way to the underworld, and I cross my bridge to avoid Delay each other."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to speak, Jing Se said again: "After all, a courtier's daughter is going to marry, isn't she? Being bound by this kind of marriage, how can a courtier's daughter get married?"

What the queen mother wanted to say was blocked by Jing Se in advance. She choked again and again, and her words finally turned into a helpless sigh.

"Since everything has come to this point, the Ai family has nothing to say or persuade. If you want to destroy the marriage, the Ai family will fulfill you."

Taking two steps back, Jing Se knelt on the ground in a proper manner, and kowtowed, "I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager raised her hand, "Since the Ai family has agreed to your request, you should also agree to the Ai family's condition."

Jing Se nodded, "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, the courtiers will try their best to heal the emperor."

Hearing these words, the Queen Mother was relieved, and immediately asked the female officer to take Jing Se to the couch of Emperor Taihe in the inner hall.

Jing Se saluted the Queen and Concubine Shu first, and then went up to Emperor Taihe to check his tongue coating, count his heartbeat, and feel his pulse.

Concubine Shu looked at her nervously the whole time, and when she saw her retracting her hand, she hurriedly asked, "How?"

The queen also asked: "When will the emperor wake up?"

Jing Se said: "On the surface, it seems that the anger is attacking the heart, but in fact, because of this violent anger, the emperor pulled the old injury left when he fell off the horse in the paddock a few months ago, so he was in a coma for a longer time."

The queen frowned, "Hasn't the injury I suffered in the paddock last time healed? How could there be hidden diseases?"

Jing Se chuckled, "The Empress should have heard about the change in Yanshan Palace, right?"

The Queen nodded.

Jing Se said again: "I heard that when the Yanshan Palace changed, the two imperial physicians who followed were bought by the second prince, so it's not difficult to understand. Since the two were bought, they must be bought The second prince told him to deliberately conceal his illness. As for the imperial physicians in the palace, it is normal for them not to notice that the emperor has an old illness. After all, the old injury left by the emperor has not spread, and it has been covered up by this anger attack. So it was ignored."

The queen was furious immediately, "It's unreasonable! How dare those two imperial physicians lie about the emperor's illness!"

Concubine Shu glanced at the queen, and reminded: "Sister, the emperor needs to rest now, you should keep your voice down so as not to disturb his quietness. Besides, those two imperial physicians have long been beheaded by the crown prince, and they are no longer here. You Getting angry now won't help."

Although the queen didn't like Concubine Shu's tone and attitude very much, what Concubine Shu said was the truth after all. Right now, she was in front of the emperor's bed, if she made a big noise, it would definitely disturb the peace of the emperor.

After deliberating for a moment, the empress shut her mouth. At this time, she would not be so stupid as to bicker with Concubine Shu to cause the empress dowager's displeasure.

Looking at Jingse, the queen asked again: "According to what you said, is there any way to heal it?"

"Yes." Jing Se said: "I also ask the empress to arrange for a court lady with quick hands and feet to burn silver needles for the minister's daughter. In addition, the empress's empress has to invite another imperial doctor. After all, the empress is a female family member, and there are too many needles in a while. Inconvenience."

After speaking, she took out the silver needle bags from her sleeve pocket and opened them one by one.

The queen immediately arranged for her personal female officer to come over to help, and sent for the imperial physician.

The female officer's hands and feet were really sharp, and it didn't take long for Jingse to burn all the silver needles, and the imperial doctor rushed over.

Jingse, the Queen, and Concubine Shu all exited the inner hall and sat behind the green gauze cupboard.

The imperial doctor pierced the acupuncture points according to Jing Se's instructions.

Everyone waited nervously.

After about a stick of incense, Emperor Taihe moved his fingertips twice, and the imperial doctor ran out happily, saying: "The empress dowager, the empress empress, the concubine Shu, the emperor has shown signs of waking up."

The queen mother was overjoyed, and immediately looked at Jing Se, her eyes couldn't hide her praise, "The Ai family knows that girl Se is a wonderful person."

Jing Se forced a smile and didn't react much. If she hadn't asked the Queen Mother to break up the marriage today, she would not have wanted to enter the palace to see Emperor Taihe.

Bo Qinghuan glanced at Jing Se, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

The Queen and Concubine Shu couldn't wait to go in and have a look.

Taihe Emperor's ashy face gradually turned red, and it took about another cup of tea before he woke up faintly.

The queen said happily: "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up."

Emperor Taihe glanced around, seeing that this was his sleeping hall, he immediately asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

The queen said: "Two and a half days."

Emperor Taihe's face was a little stiff, and he asked again: "Is the prince back?"

The queen shook her head, "No news yet."

"Help me up." Emperor Taihe moved his body.

Jing Se walked in slowly, and said in a clear voice: "The emperor will wake up, you can't stay in the bed now, otherwise the minister's daughter will be in vain."

Seeing Jing Se, Emperor Taihe was stunned for a while, "How could it be you?"

Jing Se smiled, "Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager who summoned the servants to the palace to see you!"

"So that's how it is." Emperor Taihe rubbed his forehead, didn't dare to move, and lay down again.

At this time, the queen mother came in with a happy face, "Emperor, you can wake up this time, thanks to Concubine Shu's niece Se, I will reward her well in a while."

There was still some tiredness between Taihe Emperor's brows and eyes, he raised his eyes, and saw Shang Jingse's clear and wise eyes and the faint smile on her lips, feeling a little palpitated for a while.

It was not the first time Emperor Taihe saw Jingse, but it was the first time he looked at her at such a close distance. It didn't matter if he didn't look at her, but after a look, he felt that her eyes looked like a person.

No, not possible!
Emperor Taihe cursed in his heart, there is only one Xia Mu in this world, and he is already dead, there is no possibility of him coming back.

"How does the emperor feel now?" Jing Se came over and asked with concern.

Emperor Taihe immediately came back to his senses, and said: "I still feel a little dizzy, and my chest hurts."

Jing Se said: "After all, he was angry and fainted for such a long time. Dizziness and chest tightness are normal. The minister will prescribe a prescription later. You can take the medicine according to the prescription, and it will gradually improve within three days."

Emperor Taihe said: "You have made great achievements this time, what reward do you want?"

Jing Se glanced at Bao Qinghuan who was waiting in the outer hall. Just as she was about to speak, a servant outside announced loudly: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, Concubine Shu, Your Royal Highness is back to court!"

The queen was overjoyed and asked, "Is this news true?"

The servant said: "Go back to the empress, it's absolutely true."

The empress was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She had waited for so long, and the prince finally returned after winning the battle and making military exploits.

Concubine Shu's face was pale, expressionless.

Emperor Taihe didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jing Se was secretly annoyed that Gu Qian would come back at this time if he didn't come sooner or later. The matter between her and Bo Qinghuan hadn't been settled yet. From the looks of it, there might be side issues along the way.

Frowning, Jing Se stood aside to calm down.

After Gu Qian entered the capital, he first went to the Ministry of War to hand him over, and then went directly to the Qianqing Palace. He was dressed in fine silver armor, a red-tasseled helmet on his head, his back was straight, and his face was solemn.

Jing Se quietly raised the corners of her eyes, and found that Gu Qian had changed a lot from what she saw last year, and her whole person seemed to have matured a lot.

Realizing that someone was looking at him, Gu Gan turned his head, facing Jingse's eyes, he gave a rare smile with his lips curled up, it was a pure smile without any irony.

Jing Se felt sick, this man actually thought she was happy for his return?
Coldly withdrawing her gaze, Jing Se said to the queen and the queen mother: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, since the emperor is fine, the servant girl will leave."

After Gu Qian saluted everyone, he heard Jing Se say such a sentence, he pursed his lips, and said: "Miss Jing, why should you be anxious, since you saved my father with your own hands, and it just so happens that today I returned triumphantly, There will be a banquet in the palace, and you should attend it because of emotion and reason."

The queen mother also said: "The prince is right, girl Se, you can stay and attend the palace banquet. After the banquet is over, the Ai family will personally send someone to take you back."

The Queen and Concubine Shu agreed one after another, and they were all persuading Jing Se to stay.

There was a cold look in Jing Se's eyes, she looked at Gu Gan, and said with a stiff smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, I appreciate it, but the wedding is coming soon, and I need to prepare a lot of things, so I won't stay in the palace to disturb you today Ladies and gentlemen, my servants will leave first."

Gu Gan's face changed drastically, "Wait, what did you say earlier? The wedding is coming soon?"

He clearly received the news that Fan Shen was killed in Huating Mountain in March, and it was precisely because he knew that Fan Shen was dead that he would discuss with the counselors and military advisers how to quickly defeat the Tatars in order to wait until he came back. He directly asked his father to marry her as the crown prince.

But he didn't expect to hear the news that she was about to get married as soon as he entered the door.

Now that Fan Chen is gone, where did Jing Se get married, and who did she marry?
Gu Qian frowned, his expression was very bad.

Bo Qinghuan came forward at the right time, and said with a smile: "My minister has asked the emperor to marry me."

Gu Gan froze, and the little hope left in his heart slowly shattered.

Bo Qinghuan!
How could it be him!Why did he suddenly want to marry Jingse!

What happened during the eight months that I was absent?Why is everything different from what it was before he left?

"Father." Gu Qian looked at Emperor Taihe, eager to hear a little bit of explanation from Emperor Taihe.

Emperor Taihe waved his hand and said: "Bo Aiqing mentioned this matter to me a few days ago, but I couldn't afford to be ill later, so I didn't have time to make an order."

The more Gu Qian heard it, the more chilling he felt, "So, the emperor hasn't issued an order yet, has he?"

Emperor Taihe didn't speak, which was his tacit consent.

Gu Gan had a lot of words welling up in his throat, ready to speak.

The queen mother took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Since the crown prince returned triumphantly to set up a palace banquet, what are you talking about for those who have nothing? Come and lead Miss Jing to change clothes."

Immediately, a female official stood beside Jing Se and said "please" respectfully to her.

It is inevitable to come to the palace banquet tonight.

Jingse glanced helplessly at Bao Qinghuan, who just smiled at her, showing no extra expression.

Looking away, Jing Se quickly followed the maid out of Qianqing Palace.

The stalemate in the cella continued.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the Queen hurriedly said: "The Emperor needs to rest, let's all go out first, so as not to disturb him."

The queen mother also nodded in agreement, and waved her hand to order everyone to come out of the hall.

Glancing at Gu Gan's dejected face from the corner of the eye, the queen mother seemed to understand something in a moment, she looked away calmly, and looked at the queen, "Since the prince is hosting a banquet, you, the queen mother, go to the Ganquan Hall to see it in person. The presiding officer will make arrangements, Concubine Shu alone is enough for the emperor."

The queen stood up and took leave, and quickly went to Ganquan Hall.

Concubine Shu re-entered the inner hall to serve Emperor Taihe.

Now there are only the Queen Mother, Bo Qinghuan and Crown Prince Gu Gan left in the palace.

The three naturally didn't have much to talk about, the queen mother didn't want to make the atmosphere stiff, so she simply waved her hand to dismiss the two of them, and said: "It seems that the prince has just arrived in the imperial city, since there is a palace banquet in the evening, you should go back to the east palace earlier to change clothes Fan, the armor's killing spirit is too strong, and Aijia looks creepy."

Gu Qian respectfully said: "Grandson will leave."

Not long after he came out, Bo Qinghuan followed suit.

Gu Gan deliberately slowed down, and did not approach him until Bo Qinghuan followed him, "How can I not know, when did Governor Bo become interested in Miss Jing?"

Bo Qinghuan smiled, "The crown prince has set out to conquer Mobei for eight months. There are many things in Jinling City that you don't know about. This one is insignificant."

"What if I insist on knowing?" Gu Qian's face turned cold, and his eyes turned unkind to Bao Qinghuan.

Bo Qinghuan said casually: "Then, His Highness the Crown Prince will be troubled and go to inquire about it by himself."

"You!" Gu Qian's face was ashen.

Bo Qinghuan smiled at him, "His Royal Highness wants to know the details, but unfortunately, I don't want to talk about it. So, why don't you bother yourself to find out? Could it be that Your Highness wants to torture me to extract a confession?"

Gu Gan stood still, his face darkened to the extreme.

Bo Qinghuan acted as if she had never heard of it, and her smile was captivating, "His Royal Highness cares too much about Miss Jing, carefully, I am jealous."

Clenching his fists, Gu Gan said with great reluctance: "Do you want to marry her? Maybe no one will do what you want!"

"Oh?" Bo Qinghuan raised her eyebrows with great interest, "Two days ago, the Second Lord Vatican was still showing off his power in front of this seat, saying that he would come to snatch it on the day of my wedding. Could it be that His Royal Highness is also beating the same thing?" idea?"

Gu Gan was taken aback again, "Master Vatican?"

What the hell is wrong with these people?Why do everyone care about Jing Se?Is it so difficult to want a woman?

Bo Qinghuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she walked away.

Gu Qian stood where he was, unable to recover for a long time.

*
The female official who took Jingse to change clothes was a useful person around the queen mother, and she was called "Aunt Qin".

Seeing that there was no one around, my aunt deliberately slowed down her pace, and after a low sigh, she spoke to Jing Se, "Miss Jing, do you really want to marry Governor Bo?"

Jing Se's eyes moved, "Aunt Qin, do you have something to say?"

"This old slave doesn't dare to interfere with the affairs of the masters." Aunt Qin said, "But this old slave feels in his heart that you and Governor Bo are not a good match."

Jing Se pursed her lips.

"The old slave has always agreed with the empress dowager, and is optimistic about you and Brahma."

Aunt Qin's voice was still coming through.

Jing Se didn't listen much, she looked at the Begonia in the garden beside her, with a slightly dazed expression.

No one can understand how she got here every day and night during these three months.

No one could understand that when she cut the bright red wedding dress into pieces and threw them into the brazier to burn them to ashes one by one, her heart was bleeding.

I never knew that the taste of loss is so painful, and I can only live like a walking dead without a soul every day. I am here, but I can't get my heart back.All the laughter, you have to try your best to hold on, all the bitterness, you can only smash it into pieces and swallow it in your stomach.

After living two lifetimes, I am not as tired as these three months. From body to heart, there is not an inch that is not painless.

Every time I heard that name from other people, it was as if someone was slowly cutting her heart with a rusty blunt knife. It was not sharp, but it was painful, which made her almost suffocate.

"Miss Jing?" Seeing her in a daze, Aunt Qin called out in a low voice.

"It's nothing." Jing Se pulled back her thoughts and said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Aunt Qin sighed silently in her heart, what a wonderful person, she and Fan Shizi were the most suitable couple at first, but there was a big change in the middle, no wonder she would be cold-hearted and change to anyone Woman, who can withstand such a painful blow?

Changing into a gorgeous lake blue jacket and skirt embroidered with gold, silver and dark flowers, Aunt Qin added some precious jewelry and combed Jingse's hair again. In the bronze mirror, her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, and her muscles are like suet , but there is no form and no spirit, his eyes are empty, and his expression is dull.

When Aunt Qin saw her, she couldn't help sighing again.

Coming out of the side hall, Aunt Qin led Jingse to Ganquan Hall directly.

On the way, they met Gu Gan who had changed into a black brocade robe embroidered with money and python.

Standing by the flower bed, Gu Gan looked up and saw a pretty figure walking in front of him from afar. He was wearing a blue jacket and skirt that made his skin white and flawless. His slender waist highlighted his exquisite and alluring figure. , the water drop earrings hang upside down, swaying streamers, and the calm black eyes are calm, but when you look closely, you feel cold to the bone.

Just like the soft wind and weak bones, there is rigidity and coldness.

Gu Qian couldn't help being shocked.

I haven't seen her for eight months. She is more beautiful than before, but also more indifferent.

Taking a few steps forward, Gu Gan stands in front of Jing Se and Aunt Qin.

Although Jing Se didn't want to talk to this person, but as the daughter of a powerful minister, she should go forward and salute the prince when she saw the prince.

"My daughter has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yingying was blessed, and Jing Se's voice could not hear any joy or anger, as if he didn't exist at all.

His eyes dimmed slightly, Gu Gan raised his hand to help her up.

Jing se skillfully avoided his touch.

Gu Gan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Jing Se didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned to leave.

"Jingse."

He called her suddenly.

This was the first time that Gu Gan called her by her first name.

In her memory, there was only one person who called her that way, but she hadn't heard that voice for more than three months.

Startled for a moment, Jing Se just stopped in her tracks and didn't speak.

Seeing that she was willing to stop, Gu Gan was overjoyed, stepped forward, and waved his hand to push Aunt Qin away.

"Are you really going to marry Bo Qinghuan?" he asked.

"Does His Royal Highness like to worry about other people's affairs?" Jing Se's face was expressionless, and her voice was flat.

"No." He said, "I just want to worry about you."

"Heh!" Jing Se sneered, "During the eight months of going to Mobei, His Royal Highness hasn't learned how to lose face?"

Gu Qian's face froze.

Jing Se slowly raised her lips, and paused every word, "You and I are not the same way."

Gu Qiandao: "As long as you wish, I can let you stand side by side with me."

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "Really?"

"Ah."

"His Royal Highness thinks too much of himself." Jing Se's smile deepened, "Although the minister is not talented, she is not good enough for all picks."

After speaking, she was about to leave.

Gu Gan grabbed her wrist.

Jingse suffered from pain in her wrist, she frowned and struggled hard.

"I give you a chance because I am interested in you and think highly of you. Don't challenge my bottom line again and again."

Gu Qian's voice came from next to his ear.

Jing Se's free hand slapped him hard on the face without saying a word.

Being beaten by Jing Se for the second time, Gu Gan's brows turned cold, and the hand that pinched her wrist tightened again and again, with such force that it almost crushed her.

"I gave you the opportunity to talk to me to let you recognize the gap between you and me, so don't challenge my bottom line again and again."

Jing se returned the exact words.

All of Gu Qian's expressions froze on his face, and anger rose from the bottom of his eyes.

"Why, His Royal Highness still wants to kill me?" Jing Se easily saw through his thoughts, "You're flirting with the courtier's daughter in broad daylight, and I'm just doing what a dutiful woman should do to defend herself , you think I should be killed?"

Gu Gan pursed his lips.

"In the eyes of His Royal Highness, power comes first, right?"

Gu Qian stared at her.

"What do you think of a woman?" Jing Se said coldly: "When you need it, the counselor who is bound by your side, and when you don't need it, throw it away like a plaything?"

Gu Qian's face suddenly changed, "What did you say!"

This tone...why does it sound like Xia Mu is questioning him?

Taking advantage of his distraction, Jing Se easily freed her arm, walked forward without looking back, and threw back a word coldly.

"I want to tell Your Highness that although you lost your mother and concubine and your friends, you still have nothing. You are still sick."

Turning around, Jing Se smiled and looked at Gu Gan's ugly face, "Are you angry now, are you unwilling, do you want to kill me yourself?"

Gu Qian's eyes darkened a bit.

"It seems that my judgment is correct." Jing Se pursed her lips, this time she went directly into the side hall of Ganquan Hall without looking back.

When night fell, the main hall of Ganquan Hall was brightly lit, civil and military officials entered Ganquan Hall one after another with their families, and Jing Yuhuan specially brought Jing Wanbai along.

Seeing Jing Se, especially seeing her wearing the gorgeous dress bestowed by the Queen Mother, Jing Wan Bai's eyes were full of envy, "Eldest sister is so beautiful in this dress."

Jing Se's brows were indifferent, "Is the third sister's words true?"

"Naturally." Probably because of Gu Gan's return, Jing Wan Bai's old melancholy was gone, his face was always smiling, and his tone of voice was much lighter.

Provoking the corners of her lips, Jing Se said, "I also think what you said makes sense."

Jing Wan Bai couldn't react for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "I just realized that eldest sister is so humorous today."

This is the women's seat. Most of the girls present were known by Jing Se in her previous life. From time to time, someone came to talk to her, but she didn't show any alienation, just smiled and dealt with it.

On Jing Se's left is the little princess Gu Xiaoxiao.

She has been staring at Jing Se since she came here. It is said that the third brother likes to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion the most to find his cousin.

This is the first time Gu Xiaoxiao saw Jing Se. She felt that the woman sitting next to her was not only beautiful, but also had an indescribable temperament in her bones. Sitting quietly, even if you don't speak, you can involuntarily attract the attention of others.

So this is Jing Se, the former fiancée of the prince of Chu?

Gu Xiaoxiao looked Jing Se up and down curiously, thinking that it was clearly born by a father, but Jing Se was not at all different from Jing Wan Bai.

Gu Xiaoxiao had met Jing Wanbai several times at palace banquets before, he had a good-looking face, but his conduct was not that great.

Seeing Jing Wanbai chatting with Jing Se nonchalantly, Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, stood up with her skirt up, walked to Jing Se's seat, looked at her with a smile, "You are Jing Se Ser?"

Hearing the sound, Jing Se raised her eyes, and was facing a delicate and smiling face.

"My daughter has met the little princess." Jing Se symbolically stood up and blessed her.

"Sit down, sit down quickly." Gu Xiaoxiao was startled by her, and said, "I heard that you are not well, so I dare not ask you to salute, you sit down, I just want to chat with you for a while sentence."

Jing Se laughed, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."

Gu Xiaoxiao dragged a little girl to sit beside her with a smile, and said, "I used to hear the third brother mention you, but I never had the chance to meet you in person. Today is good. After taking the blessing of the fourth brother, I finally see you." I see, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than the rumors, or even any woman I have ever seen."

Jing Wan Bai on the side heard this, he couldn't help but slowly lowered his head.

Jing Se poured a cup of tea for Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Xiaoxiao took it, held it in her palm, still had a sweet smile on her face, and asked her with a blink of an eye, "Can you come to the palace to play more often in the future?"

"This..." Jing Se hesitated, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, and after a while her eyes lit up again, "You can't enter the palace, so I'll follow third brother out of the palace to play with you, okay?"

Jing Se was a little puzzled, "There are so many girls at the women's table, why does the little princess choose the courtier's daughter?"

"They?" Gu Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at the girls sitting behind, pouted her mouth, and muttered, "How boring they are!"

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "How did you find out that I'm interesting?"

"I don't know either." Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lip, a little nervous, "I just think you are different."

At the end, he asked in a low voice: "If I follow third brother out of the palace to look for you, will you reject me?"

Jing Se smiled, "You are a princess, how dare I reject you?"

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao became excited.

Jing Se looked at her with a flicker of eyes.

Gu Xiaoxiao is 13 years old, and her concubine's status is not high, and she doesn't get much favor in this palace. Therefore, although Gu Xiaoxiao is the youngest daughter of Emperor Taihe, she doesn't get much favor, and there is nothing to talk about around her. The person who spoke was the only one who was best friends with the third prince Gu Beiyu, a child who was extremely lacking in love.

After Gu Xiaoxiao retreated, Su Miaoyu from Duke Jin's mansion came forward and sat down beside Jing Se.

Jing Se smiled at her, "The Duke of Jin's mansion has strict rules, it's really rare to see my second cousin showing up outside."

Su Miaoyu raised her eyebrows, "I don't show my face, that's all. Once I show up, it's amazing."

Jing Se couldn't laugh or cry.

Su Miaoyu tugged at her sleeve suddenly, pointed quietly at the male guest seat opposite, and asked Jing Se: "Is that young man the eldest son of the second room of your family?"

Jing Se was stunned, looked up, and saw Jing Lan on the opposite side wearing a half-sleeved gown with blue lotus base dotted with white magnolia pattern, and a silver-white round-neck robe embroidered with golden bamboo leaf patterns inside, her handsome features were beautiful under the light, A pair of wonderful eyes seem to blend the light of the stars.

Jing Se withdrew her gaze and looked at Su Miaoyu, "Why, the second cousin has taken a fancy to him?"

Su Miaoyu rubbed her chin, "If I say I like it, can you match me?"

Jing Se chuckled, this second cousin, as her name suggests, is usually cheerful, but she didn't expect to be so cheerful in this kind of matter.

With a smile, Jing Se said: "I can't guarantee this. If you like someone, they may not necessarily like you."

"Does he have a marriage contract?" Su Miaoyu asked.

"No." Jing Se shook her head.

"Do you have someone in mind?"

Jing Se hesitated and said, "Probably not."

"Then what else is there to worry about?" Su Miao said, "He has no engagement and has no intention of dating, isn't he just waiting for me?"

Jing Se immediately rolled her eyes, "Do you dare to be thicker?"

Su Miaoyu covered her lips and smiled, "You don't know how difficult it is for me to go out of the house. Now that I meet the right person, I have to seize the opportunity, otherwise one day in the future, my ancestors will take a fancy to a young man from another family and ask me to meet him." Wouldn't it be a shame to marry without even seeing her?"

Jing Se chuckled, "What do you like about Jing Lan?"

Su Miaoyu said solemnly: "It looks good."

The corner of Jingse's mouth twitched, "That's it?"

"The first feeling is like this." Su Miaoyu said very sincerely, "The sisters in the house are all envious of that little girl Ruoyu who found a handsome husband, so I thought, my appearance is not bad, no matter who I marry in the future, my appearance I can't lose to Ye Zhiwen, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to come out to meet people."

Jing Se said, "You're judging people by their appearance."

Su Miaoyu said with a smile, "Yes, I like to judge people by their appearance. I have gentleness and virtuousness. I have also practiced a few tricks of self-defense martial arts with the generals. I have both cooking skills and talents. I lack everything except a beautiful husband." , he is in charge of beauty, and I am in charge of housekeeping."

Rubbing her forehead helplessly, Jing Se said: "Be low-key, low-key, Jing Lan doesn't know you yet, and you make it look like a certainty, are you ashamed?"

Su Miaoyu's face turned red, and said: "The palace banquet is about to begin, I'll go back to the table first, and you must remember to hold a seat for me later, and don't let those flies and mosquitoes get close to him."

"Go, go!" Jing Se made a gesture to push her, "How can you be such a girl, I'm almost ashamed to death by you."

Su Miaoyu covered her lips with a smile and returned to her seat.

It was Fan Yue who came to the banquet in Chu Palace, and his seat was directly opposite Jing Se.

Since entering the door, Fan Yue's gaze has been on Jing Se, and he glanced at Bao Qinghuan not far away from time to time, his lips were tightly lined, obviously displeased.

Jing Se turned a blind eye, with a calm expression.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Gan also came in. He had just been slapped by Jing Se before, and he went back and applied some ice cubes and medicine to barely cover it. He also looked at Jing Se for the first time, and then at Bo Qing Huan, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two.

Gu Beiyu glanced at Gu Gan, then at Fan Yue, with a dazed look on his face, not understanding why these two people kept staring at Cousin Jingse.

Not long after, the emperor and empress arrived one after another, and everyone got up, knelt down and bowed down, shouting long live.

Emperor Taihe had just woken up during the day, and his face was still a little weak, but overall he was fine. He waved his palm, "Everyone loves you!" His words were a little out of breath, which was a sign that he hadn't recovered yet.

There was another orderly and loud thank you voice from the crowd, and then they slowly stood up and went back to the table.

Emperor Taihe sat on the throne, and the empress followed suit.

Today's palace banquet was set up for Gu Gan's triumphant return, so naturally a long opening speech was indispensable, which was nothing more than to say that Gu Gan returned triumphantly, and he, the emperor, fulfilled his original promise to restore his reputation as a prince and continue to rule the East Palace.

Emperor Taihe spoke sonorously, and Jing Se fell asleep when he heard it.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Jing Wan Bai stretched out his hand to abduct her, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Jing Se opened her eyelids and shook her head, "It's nothing, just a little sleepy."

Jing Wan Bai said in a low voice: "Hang on, this palace banquet will probably take a while to end, and we will go back together later."

Jing Se nodded, and took a deep look at Jing Wan Bai, thinking that this person has really changed a lot. If he had encountered such a situation before, Jing Wan Bai would have hoped that she would fall asleep and make a fool of herself in public, but since Jing Shu After Rao's incident, Jing Wanbai, just like Jing Nanqing, took a big turn in temperament, which caught people off guard.

Now that Jing Wanbai is no longer a demon, Jing Se feels a little uncomfortable instead.

After Emperor Taihe delivered his speech, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually sounded, and the dancers dressed in soft gauze came in barefoot, stretched their long arms, and gently twisted their slender waists, attracting the eyes of most of the people present .

Jing Se was not interested in the delicacies on the table, so she sat bored, so she had to drink to relieve her boredom.

In the second half of the palace banquet, Emperor Taihe waved his hand to screen Wu Ji away, looked at Gu Qian, and said: "Although the prince made a big mistake before going out, this clever plan defeated the Tatars and ended the five-year war on the border. It is really a great achievement, the merit outweighs the demerit, today I will allow you to ask for a reward in front of all the officials and family members, tell me, what do you want?"

Gu Gan stood up, his eyes naturally fell on Jing Se.

Fan Yue and Gu Beiyu frowned together.

On the other hand, Jing Se, the person involved, seemed not to have heard the old emperor's question at all, nor had she noticed Gu Gan's gaze. She was sipping wine as usual, with an indescribable calm in her body.

Bo Qinghuan seemed like a normal person, not at all worried that Gu Gan would ask for a marriage order.

Gu Gan looked at Jing Se for a long while, and saw that she didn't even give him a look. He felt frustrated, his fists in the brocade sleeves were clenched and then loosened, loosened and then clenched again, and the words of asking for a marriage came to his lips, and suddenly Swallowing it back again, she turned to look at Jing Wan Bai.

Jing Wanbai's cheeks were flushed, he bit his lower lip lightly and lowered his head.

Emperor Taihe saw that Gu Qian's gaze fell on the female family's table, he raised his eyebrows and said: "The prince is still unmarried, in my opinion, while you are rejoicing in triumph, why don't you arrange the marriage earlier?"

Gu Gan looked away, and said, "My son thinks so too."

The queen glanced at Jing Wanbai's direction, then at Jing Se, and suddenly said: "Your majesty, I remember that Miss Jing San is the side concubine who has not been married to the prince, and the position of concubine is still vacant, how about You made the decision today and personally chose a virtuous and beautiful daughter for him?"

The queen had long heard that Jing Wanbai's reputation in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had plummeted, and he was far less favored than Jing Se, the eldest daughter.

Besides, Jingse is now a sweet pastry, and she must have something special about her. If the prince can marry her, not only will he have a resourceful and talented right-hand man by his side, but he will also have a powerful foreign relative, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, as his wife. Backing, no matter how you count, you can only earn money.

The Empress can think of this, so can the Emperor Taihe. It is absolutely impossible for him to agree to Gu Gan's marriage to Jing Se. Even if Gu Gan marries Jing Wanbai, Jing Wanbai cannot be made a concubine, otherwise he will rely on this son. With his ambition, he might use his relatives as the backing to accomplish some earth-shattering events in the future.

Emperor Taihe still remembers the scene of the Yanshan Palace Change last time. At that time, Gu Qian's motives were already impure, and now it is absolutely impossible for him to create an opportunity for Gu Qian.

With a smile on his face, Emperor Taihe squinted his old eyes, glanced around the female family members' table, and finally locked on Luo You, the daughter of the Minister of the Household, and said: "I have heard that the daughter of the Minister of the Household, Qing Ling Yuxiu, , I finally got to see you today, and it really won my heart, Prince, do you see...?"

After Luo You heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, her gaze paused on Gu Beiyu, she bit her lower lip and lowered her head.

Gu Gan glanced at Luo You, and suddenly felt dull.

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Gu Gan was first amazed by Jing Se's beauty, but now when he looks at other women, they are all like wood carvings in his eyes, the more he looks at them, the more disgusting he becomes.

Looking away, Gu Gan said: "Father, since I had a marriage contract with Miss Jing San earlier, regardless of whether she is the main concubine or side concubine, I should marry her first, as for the main concubine..."

Gu Gan Yuguang glanced at Jing Se, and then said, "We'll talk about it later."

Jing Wanbai was originally worried about the emperor's selection of a concubine for Gu Gan, but now that she heard Gu Ganzhi's words, she immediately felt relieved, as long as the crown prince does not accept the concubine for the time being, it proves that she still has a chance and can Give it a try.

Hearing what Gu Gan said, Emperor Taihe nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, I will allow the marriage of the two of you first, but Miss Jing San is still in the filial piety period, and the prince may have to wait for a long time."

Gu Gan said this precisely because he knew that Jing Wanbai was still in love with filial piety. On the surface, he was waiting for Jing Wanbai, but in fact, he was creating an opportunity for himself to get close to Jing Se and get Jing Se .

The queen glared at the prince indiscriminately, cursing in her heart that this son would not seize the opportunity, if he had proposed to marry Jingse before, Emperor Taihe would definitely not disrespect him in front of so many civil and military officials.

Emperor Taihe knew exactly what the queen was up to. He looked at Bo Qinghuan with a smile, and said, "A few days ago, Bo Aiqing asked me to marry Jingse. It's rare that so many people are here today, so I will do it in front of everyone." , Yes! I will give you two a big wedding in the Mid-Autumn Festival next month, and during this period, Bo Aiqing remembers to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate the six ceremonies."

Bo Qing smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Lord Long En."

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Bo Qinghuan wants to marry Jingse? !

This sudden news was like a depth bomb, and more than half of the people present couldn't recover from it.

Jing Yuhuan was directly petrified. Jing Se had a child. If she married Bo Qinghuan like this, once the other party found out that she was not a virgin, it would not be unreasonable for Bo Qinghuan to find a reason to destroy Youxiangfu in a fit of anger. possible.

But both Tai and the emperor had already made an order, and Jing Yuhuan had no choice but to dare not refute. He raised his eyes to take a deep look at Jing Se, and then took a false look at Bao Qinghuan. He was surprised to find that the two people had the same calm expression on their faces.

Jing Wan Bai was terrified, and called Jing Se in a low voice, "Eldest sister?"

Jing Se tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jing Wan Bai was surprised, "Are you really going to marry Governor Bo?"

Jing Se said lazily: "The emperor has already issued an order, I'm just a weak woman, I have to obey."

"But..." Jing Wan Bai worried: "How can you get along with him with the temperament of Chief Governor Bo?"

Jing Se lowered her gaze and said nothing more.

After Fan Yue heard the news of the marriage, he sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Mid-autumn wedding?As long as he is alive, Bo Qinghuan will never marry his sister-in-law!
Gu Beiyu's lips were tightly pursed. He thought that this matter would be delayed, but he didn't expect his father to act so quickly, and directly married his cousin and Bo Qinghuan at the celebration banquet, which was simply too unexpected.

Most of the people were still in shock that Bo Qinghuan was going to marry Jingse, and Emperor Taihe left the banquet first. Before he recovered, he didn't dare to take a sip of wine at the banquet just now, and managed to finish a few things , I was so tired that I was panting and sweating profusely.

The emperor left the banquet, and the empress hurriedly followed, and before leaving, she ordered the prince to take care of the overall situation.

Without the suppression of the emperor and queen's aura, the officials and family members gradually became active, whispering to each other, discussing Jing Se and Bo Qinghuan in whispers.

Jing Se turned a deaf ear, glanced at Jing Wan Bai, and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to go back together? Let's go."

Jing Wan Bai was stunned, "Leave now?"

Jing Se nodded, "This banquet is really boring."

Jing Wan Bai nodded, and helped her stand up.

As soon as Jing Se left, Jing Lan couldn't sit still anymore, and found an excuse to say goodbye to the second master, and left the Ganquan Hall to quickly catch up with Jing Se's footsteps.

"Why did you follow me out?" Seeing Jing Lan, Jing Se was very surprised.

"I'm worried about eldest sister." Jing Lan said.

Jing Se smiled lowly, "I'm neither sick nor drunk, and I have my third sister to help me, why are you worried about me?"

Jing Lan's eyes flickered under the moonlight for a moment. He didn't know what was going on between Jing Se and Bo Qinghuan, but he was really worried about this cousin. The eldest son of Yue Fan, now has a sudden change and wants to marry Bo Qinghuan, there must be a reason for it, and whether Bo Qinghuan forced her or other reasons, he, a cousin, cannot stand idly by.

"I'll take Eldest Sister home," he said.

Jing Wan Bai glanced at Jing Se.

Jing Se had no choice but to say, "If you want to come, let's go together."

Riding in the same carriage with Jing Se and Jing Wanbai back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Jing Lan watched them enter the gate before returning to her own mansion in peace.

Along the way, he didn't ask Jing Se anything about Bo Qinghuan, and he didn't mention Fan Chen. He just chatted with Jing Se about interesting things during his preparation for the exam, which made Jing Se laugh constantly.

　Hurry up and catch up with the progress, maybe in the next two days, my eldest son will be released to show up O(∩_∩)O haha~
