Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 69 Strategic Cooperation
Jin Xi exerted all his strength to control his facial muscles so as not to let his smile come out. He was not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. This is definitely a universal truth.The two sisters helped Jinxiu challenge Jinjue earlier, can Jinjue help them?
Sure enough, Jinjue asked Jinqiu and Jinxi to stand still in their original positions, while Jinqiu played the role of Jinxiu, and asked the three of them to reenact the situation just now.

Jinqiu didn't realize until she stood behind Jinxi. Of course she didn't dare to imitate Jinxiu and push Jinxi hard in front of everyone. She just stretched out her hand and patted Jinxi lightly, as if to say hello.Jin Xi suddenly turned around and gave her a vicious look, Jin Xia was caught off guard and took two steps back and almost bumped into Jin Jue.

Seeing this, Jin Jue sneered and said, "Do you need me to say more? If the second sister hadn't pushed the sixth sister hard just now, she wouldn't have lost her balance and fell. The second sister's behavior is not in line with female training, and it hurts even more. Brotherly love. Why don't you go to my mother and do it again, and let my mother handle it!"

The eldest lady and the second lady have always been at odds with each other, no matter how foolish Jinxiu is, she knows that she will not be able to please the eldest lady.And the second lady told her yesterday that the eldest lady has been secretly investigating the cause of Caiyue's death, so she should be more careful.At this moment, it was too late for Jinxiu to hide from the lady, so how could she approach the lady.Enduring the pain, she got up from the ground and stared at Jin Xia, cursing: "I accidentally fell, what are you two talking about? Why don't you help me go back!"

The two sisters, Jinxia and Jinqiu, failed to please, but were scolded by Jinxiu. Now she was being used as a servant girl in front of everyone. Their faces were flushed with embarrassment, but they didn't dare to refute. They supported Jinxiu back home Her Furong Pavilion.

"If I don't help you, how do you plan to end?" After sending Jin Ling and the others away, Jin Jue looked at Jin Xi coldly.

Jin Xi smiled disapprovingly, of course she wouldn't say that she hadn't heard the magpie say that the eldest lady was secretly investigating the cause of Caiyue's death.She was planning to bring the matter to the eldest lady just now, to create an opportunity for the eldest lady to wrestle with the second lady, and she only said vaguely: "Eldest sister has no dust in her eyes, since she has seen through their tricks, how can she let them make waves? ? Will definitely help me!"

There was no joy on Jin Jue's face when she was being complimented, "Needless to say it's so nice, I'm just paying you back a favor! Next time this happens again, I'll never care!" After speaking, she seemed to be strengthening her confidence As if making a decision, he turned around and left.

Jin Xi's mind quickly recalled what kind of favor Jin Jue owed her, and Jin Jue was almost at the door when she remembered what kind of favor Jin Jue was talking about.Since Jin Jue cares so much about the affairs of Prince Ping's residence, it's better for the two of them to benefit from each other. "Sister, please stay!"

"What else do you need?" Jin Jue turned around with a wary expression on his face, Jin Xi said with a grin: "It's nothing, but last time Qin Xiao suddenly asked my eldest sister what she likes to eat and what color she likes, and said it was for me. Prince Ping asked. I want to ask my eldest sister if I can say this."

Jin Jue's tone was still indifferent, but the brilliance burst out in his eyes, as bright as fireworks in the quiet night, "I like fish and moon blue, but how can I casually tell outsiders about such things?"

Don't let me tell others, you still tell me?Jin Jue's practice of having no money here is nothing more than not wanting to get caught.Jin Xi secretly sighed that she was thoughtful, and at the same time confirmed her guess.Jin Jue really has a special liking for Prince Ping's son Xiao Feng, but his vision is too high!

Xiao Feng's grandfather was originally a prince, but he died of illness a few days after succeeding to the throne, and he was posthumously named Dezong.Xiao Yanzhi, Dezong's son, was also Xiao Feng's father. He was still in his infancy at the time, so naturally he could not succeed to the throne.Brothers can only succeed each other, and the throne falls to the first emperor.After getting the throne, the first emperor didn't want to look too ugly, so he made Xiao Yanzhi Pingwang, which means dividing the world equally.In name, he divides the world equally, but in secret, he is strictly monitored.Fortunately, Xiao Yanzhi is a casual and resigned master, he is willing to be a wealthy idler without fighting or grabbing, but he can live happily.

Now Xiao Yan has only one son, Xiao Feng, under his knees. Speaking of which, if Dezong hadn't died early, Xiao Feng would be a famous prince.Even if it is nameless now, it is still the clan, except for a few princes who count him as high status.Counting three generations back, the Zhou family was just small landlords in the countryside of Huizhou. How could the aloof Jinjue have a heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix?
Jin Xi was speechless secretly, feeling that Jin Jue's idea was tantamount to picking the stars for the moon, but this was not the focus of her concern.Now is not the time for her to challenge the second lady, as long as Jinjue is willing to help her resist Jinxiu and others, she is willing to help Jinjue find out about Xiao Feng.Isn't it just to say a few more nice words to Qin Xiao?For the sake of face, face is nothing!
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not let irrelevant outsiders know!" Jin Jue is also a smart person, and there are some things that need to be said or not.Jin Xi emphasized the words 'irrelevant', and Jin Jue really understood what she meant, and a faint blush appeared on her indifferent cheeks.He hummed lightly, as if he was afraid of what Jinxi would say, and walked out quickly.

A little girl in her teens is thinking about her own lifelong affairs?Jin Xi, who was so scheming by Jin Jue, repeatedly lamented that she deserved to be a leftover woman in her previous life, and it was too late to think about big things!On second thought, women in this life will marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and become mothers at the age of sixteen or seventeen.Counting on her fingers, in another ten years, she will also embark on the road of getting married and having children. She suddenly feels that the sky is dark and the sky is dark. She is still a child and she is going to have a child?No wonder so many women die because of dystocia!

Jin Xi was thinking wildly, when Zhao Tingxuan suddenly left and returned.Seeing that everyone had left, only Jin Xi was still standing at the door, he couldn't help smiling and said, "It's a good thing that Miss Zhou didn't leave, otherwise my apology would have to be conveyed to someone else!"

What do you mean he has to drag someone to convey his apology?When did he offend himself?

Jin Xi's astonishment fell into Zhao Tingxuan's eyes, and he misunderstood it into brooding. He hurriedly bowed deeply, and said, "Last time, my servant bumped into your mother-in-law like buying candied fruit. I ordered him to apologize in person. Knowing that he just asked the servants in the house to convey his apology. I later found out that the nanny is Miss Zhou's nurse, and I ask Miss Zhou to forgive me for being incompetent in discipline!"

Jin Xi blurted out and asked, "Did your servant get someone to bring you a pack of candied fruit?"

Zhao Tingxuan was apologetic, "It's just a bag of Hui Zhang Ji's candied peaches, of course I can't mend it, I just showed my knowledge, and please forgive me, Miss Zhou!"

Jin Xi finally understood where Qin Xiao's sour words about candied fruit came from, and suddenly felt that she was more wronged than Dou E.While blaming Ai's mother for not telling her about things outside, seeing Zhao Tingxuan like this, his servant must have said nothing good.At the same time, he secretly scolded that wicked ghost.She bears the name of eating candied fruit, but she didn't even see a hair of candied fruit, what a shame!
Zhao Tingxuan was also from an aristocratic family, Jin Xi's expression was wrong, and he already understood in his heart.The owner of the shop bullied the customers, slaves and masters, the bag of candied peaches sent by Qing Yang was either swallowed up by the woman watching the corner gate, or she gave it to someone else, anyway, Jin Xi didn't receive it.At that moment, he felt even more guilty, and hurriedly handed the basket in his hand to Jinxi, and said sincerely: "Please accept this basket of candied fruit, Miss Zhou, just take it as my apology, and I will strictly discipline the servants in the future, and never Nothing like this will happen again!"

The ingot-shaped bamboo basket woven from the finest Hunan bamboo has a thin waist of sorghum, and the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs are woven in different colors on the basket, which is exquisite and small.The pattern facing Jinxi is her zodiac sign. The piggy in an upside-down position is painted vermilion, and its naive appearance makes her giggle.

When Jin Xi saw the vermilion Hui Zhang Ji seal on the lid of the basket, and a bright yellow brocade seal on the side, her smile froze on her face, and she immediately felt that the basket of candied fruit was a piece of red-hot coal.

Huilinji’s candied fruit are all expensive, and the most important reason besides being delicious is that Hui Zhangji’s best candied fruit is paid as a tribute every year.At first, the second prince's concubine Yun Gui liked to eat it, but later it became a custom.This basket of Hui Zhang Ji candied fruit was obviously rewarded from the palace, and it was definitely different from the ones sold in the usual shops.Is this apology too heavy?
Seeing Jinxi's hesitation, Zhao Tingxuan handed the basket to her, and said with a smile, "I am in mourning for my father, so I can't eat sweets. This basket of candied fruit was given to the Queen Mother yesterday when she entered the palace to pay her respects. Don't just leave it casually. I can't let it go for nothing, and I asked Miss Zhou to take care of it for me!"

Zhao Tingxuan put his figure down so low, it would be hypocritical to refuse again, Jin Xi took the basket, grinning and said: "Is this not a private exchange?"

Zhao Tingxuan was startled and then laughed, feeling the urge to ruffle Jinxi's hair, and deliberately said: "If you are afraid, you can put it in the husband's room. Then you can say it was a reward from the husband, and you can eat it in a fair manner! "

"Where is my share in Mr.'s room? I will be mine if I eat it!" Jin Xi reached out and hugged the basket tightly, deliberately pretending to be protecting the food to cover up her momentary loss of focus.It turns out that a person like him who doesn't eat fireworks can also joke and joke!It turns out that he can also laugh so heartily!
Zhao Tingxuan laughed and said, "You mean a bird in hand is worse than a hundred birds in the forest?"

"Of course!" Jin Xi didn't hide his greed, turned around and put the box on the table, and picked up the paper cutting knife to open the bamboo basket.Zhao Tingxuan hurriedly reached out to take the knife, took off the yellow seal and put it beside him bit by bit, opened the lid and handed it to Jin Xi, kindly reminded: "The imperial seal on the things rewarded in the palace should not be taken carelessly. It’s damaged, it needs to be melted after it’s removed!”

Jin Xi nodded repeatedly, and reached out to pick up a piece of her favorite candied peach and put it in her mouth. The taste of the things in the palace is really different from the things bought in the shops outside.The candied fruit made from pure natural and pollution-free fruits is so delicious that people want to bite their tongues. Jin Xi sighed happily, picked up a piece and handed it to Zhao Tingxuan, "Do you want to eat a piece? It's so delicious!"

"Okay!" The girl in front of her is as bright as spring waves, her fair little face is thin but tender enough to squeeze out water, her eyebrows are curved, her smile is as pure as a clear and transparent crystal, she has no calculations or extravagant expectations, her cheeks Blooming with satisfaction welling up from the bottom of my heart.The lips, which are pale pink like hibiscus juice, are stained with sugar juice, shining brightly, regardless of the image's gluttonous appearance, but they are indescribably cute.For some reason, Zhao Tingxuan stretched out his hand to take the candied fruit handed over by Jin Xi without thinking about it, and put it into his mouth.

"No! It's not right for you to eat like this!" Zhao Tingxuan took a small bite politely, Jin Xi shook his head again and again, and stuffed another piece into his mouth like a demonstration, staring at him with his small mouth bulging, "Eat like me try!"

Zhao Tingxuan frowned, looked at Jin Xi and then at the candied peach that she handed over, which was as big as two longan eyes, hesitated for a while, and under Jin Xi's encouraging eyes, he closed his eyes and stuffed the candied peach into it. mouth.I don't know whether it's a psychological effect or this way of eating is really effective, but Zhao Tingxuan suddenly felt that the candied fruit in his mouth tasted better than any he had eaten before.

Jin Xi proudly asked, "Is it delicious?"

Zhao Tingxuan nodded, and taking advantage of the time when he opened his mouth, Jin Xi tiptoed and stuffed another large piece of preserved peach into his mouth, seeing that his cheeks were bulging, he couldn't swallow it but was embarrassed to spit it out in front of her, Jin Xi couldn't help bending over and laughing.She likes to see Zhao Tingxuan showing this ordinary expression the most.Only in this way did she feel that he was a real warm boy, not a perfect banishing fairy.

After finally swallowing the candied peach, Zhao Tingxuan looked at Jin Xi with a smirk on his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Seeing her go to grab the candied fruit again, the elegant Wuyou subconsciously took two steps back and covered his mouth.Jin Xi didn't expect to succeed in the sneak attack again. Seeing him like this, she couldn't straighten up with laughter, and she even burst into tears.

Zhao Tingxuan was also infected by Jinxi's crisp laughter like big pearls falling on a jade plate, and smiles appeared on the corners of his brows and eyes.Even he himself couldn't explain it clearly, he was obviously being teased by others, how could he never feel so relaxed?

"What are you doing?" Xie Qingyi stepped into the door, saw Jinxi and Zhao Tingxuan laughing at each other, glanced at the candied fruit box between them and gave a disdainful 'cut', "I thought there was something Darling, just stealing a box of candied fruit rewarded by the palace, and you two are so happy?"

Xie Qingyi had an extremely disgusted face for this box of candied fruit, but he reached out to grab it with a duplicity.Jin Xi slapped his paw away and said angrily, "Eat something without washing your hands? You don't even ask the price!"

"I won't get sick if I don't do anything clean!" Xie Qingyi didn't know if he had been with Qin Xiao for a long time, and his skin was thicker than cowhide.While talking, his hands were not idle, one hand was sent flying by Jin Xi, and the other hand was stretched out.

Jin Xi looked at the little golden man speechlessly, wondering if Xie's family kept him from eating and drinking, how could he be as good at eating and drinking as Wu Tianyou?
Xie Qingyi unceremoniously rummaged through the basket, picking out her favorite preserved peaches, Jin Xi's eyelids twitched, she covered the basket and held it in her arms, looking at the little golden man coldly , "What are you doing back again?"

Xie Qingyi curled her lips, "Stingy! Is a basket of broken candied fruit worth your protection?"

Jin Xi stared at him without saying a word, you still want to grab the broken candied fruit?If it's a good thing, don't you have to sharpen your head and rush forward?Xie Qingyi wiped the frosting off his hands twice on his back, turned his face to Zhao Tingxuan and said: "My aunt invites you to go! I have something to ask you!"

Zhao Tingxuan looked suspicious, "What is Second Madam looking for?"

"I didn't know!" Xie Qingyi rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and grabbed Jinxi's arm, as if afraid that she would run away, "You have to go too!"

Jin Xi was taken aback, why did the second lady ask her and Zhao Tingxuan at the same time?Looking down at the half-eaten basket of candied fruit in his arms, he felt an ominous premonition.
