Because Emperor Xiao asked this question very skillfully - "You also want to be like your seventh and eighth brothers, only willing to marry the person you love".

If Xiao Ji would rather answer yes, it proves that he doesn't want to marry Jingyuan's younger sister as a princess, and he doesn't like Jingyuan's younger sister either.

Ancient people think differently from modern people on some things. Some people like to marry their younger sisters to their best friends, and he has such a good relationship with Jingyuan. If Jingyuan also thinks this move is very good, then he refuses it. , it will damage the friendship between him and Jingyuan.

Although this reason is somewhat untenable, it was Xiao Jining's first reaction after hearing what Emperor Xiao said.

It seems that people are like this, as long as you know that person is not treating you sincerely, no matter what he does in the future, in your opinion, he is premeditated.

But before Xiao Jining could answer Emperor Xiao's words, Jing Yuan spoke up. He said, "Your Majesty, Jing Si, the younger sister of Weichen, is only twelve this year, so she cannot be His Royal Highness's concubine."

"Twelve? Then wait another three years before you can get married." Emperor Xiao didn't care much when he heard the words, and raised his hand to ask the maid beside him to pour wine for him. He looked down at the wine pouring from the jug, Suddenly sneered, raised his eyes to Jing Yuan and asked him, "Do you still disagree?"

When Emperor Xiao said this, he was seven parts drunk, two parts teasing, and one part emotional.

When Xiao Jining heard this, he realized that Emperor Xiao was really not targeting him, but Jing Yuan.

Before Jing Yuan went to the border back then, Xiao Ji Ning could still vividly remember how Emperor Xiao trusted and indulged him. No matter how much he trusted him back then, Emperor Xiao still had some doubts about Jing Yuan.

Although Jing Yuan seems to be on his side, the Ninth Prince, it is not. Jing Yuan is just a tool used by Emperor Xiao to check and balance the forces in Beijing. Just as he does not allow Xiao Jining to have any thoughts about the throne, Emperor Xiao Nor would Jing Yuan be allowed to truly develop a heart to protect the lord towards Xiao Jining.

Otherwise, it would be fine if Xiao Jining had no intentions about the throne, but if he had intentions, once Jing Yuan helped him, then he would be a great threat to the Seventh Prince.

That is to say, after seeing someone like Emperor Xiao with his own eyes, Xiao Jining could understand how eccentric a father can be.But this is considered normal, after all, didn't he have a younger brother before he came here?Didn't his mother just like the small one back then, and didn't like him the big one?

Xiao Jining lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The Seventh Prince is not stupid either. Emperor Xiao's repeated questioning of Xiao Jining and Jing Yuan has made his complexion ugly, and even the fingers holding the wine glass turned white. He closed his eyes, and was about to speak for Jing Yuan and Xiao Jining. When the siege was cleared, Jing Yuan spoke.

"Yes." He raised the corners of his lips, and said in a tone of extreme disgust and contempt, "She doesn't deserve it."

As soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, Jing Yue, the general of Jing who was sitting beside him, put down his glass and said coldly, "You son of a bitch! What did you say about your sister?"

"Your Majesty, how can the daughter of a concubine from Jingsi deserve to be His Highness's first wife?" Jing Yuan continued calmly, "Even if she wants to enter His Highness's palace, she is only worthy of being a concubine, even a side concubine." not on."

As soon as Jing Yuan said this, all the officials in the banquet looked at him in astonishment, even Xiao Jining looked up at Jing Yuan in astonishment.

And Jingyue was already furious: "She is your biological sister!"

But the tone of Jingyuan's words still didn't fluctuate, and the expression on his face didn't change at all. He first raised his glass and apologized to the officials with a smile: "My father has a violent temper, and I made you laugh." He disappeared suddenly, approached Jingyue sideways with a blank face, and lowered his voice slightly, but everyone could still hear what he said, as if he was stating a fact in a flat tone: "Father, did you remember wrongly? Ping's wife deserves to be called Wife? The daughter of an ordinary wife dares to call her a son? If I don’t die, your general’s wife will always be my mother.”

Jing Yue opened his eyes wide: "You—"

"Hey, okay." Seeing that the father and son of the Jing family were about to fight, Emperor Xiao hurriedly raised his hand to smooth things over and said, "It was out of good intentions that I bestowed the marriage, this... since you don't want to give up your beloved sister to marry early, this Let’s forget about it.”

Jing Yuan smiled again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Jing Yuan."

Emperor Xiao nodded and let the dancers and singers come over and continue to perform. After that, nothing else happened at the banquet, but the ministers whispered to each other at the banquet, and from time to time they quietly cast their gazes at Jingyuan and his son.

And Xiao Jining also noticed that after watching the dispute between Jing's father and son, Emperor Xiao seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's really hard not to have read the original book." Xiao Jining's tone just now when he heard the marriage offer from Emperor Xiao is still not smooth, he said to Xiaodan, "I don't even understand what they are arguing about, right? , who did I marry as the concubine in the original book?"

Xiaodan said flatly: "Just that little sister of Jingyuan, Jing Si."

Xiao Jining: "..."

Xiaodan continued: "You don't care about the original or not. In the original, Jingyuan didn't accompany you as a reader. The direction of the world changed as early as the day he was your companion."

Xiao Jining asked again: "Then what's going on?"

"You should be able to hear that. Jingyue has two wives, a son and a daughter. His son, Jingyuan, was born to Jingyuan's mother. He was a regular wife and died early; the other is the general's wife. The wife who married into the house gave birth to Jingsi, although she did not become a regular after Jingyuan's mother died, but because of the huge power of the Jing family, she is the only wife in Jingyue Mansion, so no one dares to gossip outside." Xiao Dan explained to Xiao Jining, "Strictly speaking, an ordinary wife is not a regular wife. It is fine for Jingyuan to say that Jingsi is a concubine. It is reasonable to say that the power of the Jing family is there. If she is of the right age and she has a good relationship with Jingyuan , the brothers above you really want to marry her as the princess."

"That's right." Xiao Jining understood, "The gimmick in the original book was Jiulong seizing the heir, so the original Xiao Jining should also have the desire to marry Jingsi, right?"

The original Ninth Prince probably thought that marrying Jingyuan's only sister would win over Jingyuan's power, but he didn't expect that the relationship between Jingyuan and Jingyue was so bad, and he didn't even have a good impression of that sister, so he paid for it for nothing. In the end, the position of concubine was nothing but a bamboo basket.

Xiao Dan said: "That's right, that's it."

Xiao Jining said: "In this way, I can probably guess some of the reasons why Emperor Xiao is in a good mood. Isn't it just that the king's heart is unpredictable? If Jing Yuan always behaves perfectly, and there is no reason for his mistakes, he will serve with Jing Yue As for him, I'm afraid Emperor Xiao doesn't trust them that much, does he?"

"If I were the emperor, and Jingyuan would be loyal to me without any desire, I would be suspicious." Xiao Jining thought differently, and felt that he had mastered some palace fighting skills, "His father and wife are the main wife's family style. No, he is disrespectful to his father in front of all the officials, he is quite famous for being unfilial, both father and son have taints to deal with, so it is safe to use such a person."

Xiaodan seemed to see Xianyu turning over, and was very pleased: "You have mastered half of the emperor's mind, and now you are short of the throne."

Xiao Jining said: "I still have eight brothers above me, don't dream about it."

This palace banquet was safe and sound, and Xiao Jining was relieved that he escaped the marriage gift. He felt that if he really married Jing Yuan's younger sister, Jing Yuan might be the first to kill him after he ascended the throne.

Fortunately, in the end not.

And because Jing Yuan blocked Emperor Xiao's questioning for him, Xiao Jining felt that the correspondence with Jing Yuan in the past seven years still had an effect, even if the relationship between them felt a little weak in the letters, it's okay, didn't it mean that the friendship between gentlemen is as pale as water? ?

Besides, he has done nothing now, if Jingyuan wants to kill him for no reason in the future, he has to block the mouth of the world, which is very difficult, so when it comes to the day when Jingyuan forces the palace to usurp the throne, he can voluntarily give up the throne. The chances of surviving are still very high.

So after the banquet, Xiao Jining took the initiative to go to Jing Yuan, and he returned something to Jing Yuan.

"Your Highness, this is..." When Jing Yuan saw the thing Xiao Jining handed to him, his usual calm expression was mixed with a bit of astonishment.

"This is your jade pendant, right? Back then, you lost this jade pendant in Youqu Pond to save me and the Seventh and Eighth Emperors. It was later that Mu Kui and I went back to look for it for a long time, and someone picked it up. ... I remember, you can see that its tassels are dark green, and you hung it around your waist before." Xiao Ji Ning pointed to the jade pendant, then looked at Jing Yuan's waist, and waited until he saw the jade pendant tied around Jing Yuan's waist. After the new emerald jade pendant, he let out a "Huh" and said, "Ah...you already have a new jade pendant."

"Yes, I was not used to losing this jade pendant, so I bought another one later." Jing Yuan also looked down at his waist, and said with a smile, "This jade pendant is much more expensive than the previous one, but Jing Yuan is still I prefer the old one, thank you Your Highness for finding it for me."

Xiao Jining handed the jade pendant to Jing Yuan: "You are too polite, General Jing. You lost it to save me. I should find it and return it to you."

However, after Jingyuan took the jade pendant, he sighed and said: "The jade pendant is easy to find, but the love is hard to find. The meeting between me and it after seven years is still the same as before, but the meeting with His Highness is a lot stranger."

Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment, and asked him, "Why did General Jing say that?"

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and laughed, shaking his head and said, "Your Highness still called me 'Brother Jing Yuan' in his letters last month, but when we met, he only called me 'General Jing'."

Xiao Jining: "..."

That strange feeling came again.

"How should I answer this?" Xiao Jining had no choice but to seek help from Xiaodan, "I have grown up and I can no longer be like a child? But I did call him Brother Jingyuan in the letter? Otherwise, I will call him Jingyuan Brother Yuan? But I feel that no matter how I answer him, it will be weird."

"Fucking, I finally know what's so weird about you talking to Jing Yuan." Xiaodan didn't answer Xiao Jining's question, but instead yelled, "Why are you two gay?"

"gay?" Xiao Jining was confused for a moment when he heard the word, and then agreed with his eyes wide open, "Yes! What's going on? Why does he speak like this?"

"It's because of you talking like that." Xiaodan corrected him, "It's really too gay. This is a world where courts struggle and imperial power fights. Your dialogue should be full of doubts and temptations. It's a master's trick, not you and me. ,what's wrong with you?"

"No, no, calm down." Xiao Jining quickly calmed down, "This is our illusion, according to what you said, I think Brother Wu Huang and his companion Ji Xingming are also quite gay, but they have children , and the friendship between brothers, sometimes this is what makes people imagine."

"Okay, brotherhood, you say yes." Xiao Dan also thought it was impossible, "I have read the original book, and in the original book, Jing Yuan is not gay, and he is not interested in men and women."

"That's right." Xiao Jining said, "You scared me."

The author has something to say: Ning Ning: Don't talk nonsense, you scared the baby.
