My green plum fell from the sky

The cat in Xixiangyue's arms moved slightly after hearing this.

This "Prince Jie" was not the first time they had heard of it.

During this period of time, the sisters-in-law and sisters who came to Tinghe Palace to talk to Xixiang Yue, each of them said a few words "inadvertently".

What are "disfigured face", "body like a bull", "a single-minded reckless man", "born of a demon concubine" and so on.

All kinds of belittling, as if she was afraid that she would have a good impression of him.

I asked someone to inquire about it, and found out that the prince of the Juan Kingdom had come to Beijing with his envoys, and there were rumors that this Prince Jie had gone to Beijing to ask for peace, and the object of the marriage was naturally—Xixiang Yue, the only unmarried princess.

After hearing about this incident, Xixiang Yue didn't make any trouble, but the black cat blew up.

Xixiangyue has never seen a cat so angry. It is different from the furious anger when it was attacked on the night of Qixi Festival, but a kind of suffocated anger with a lot of resentment... the kind of anger that wants to suffocate itself to death .

Xixiangyue thought that Mao'er felt that she was going to fall out of favor, so she was sullen there, but the little thing still lost her temper at her, and ignored her for a long time.

If you get rid of Xixiangyue's original memory, Xiao Jiangyue, as a princess of a country, is quite normal to be asked to marry her. She, the righteous master, has no idea. Why does this cat react so strongly?

Xixiangyue was a little puzzled and suspicious.

And what made her suspicion reach the culmination was the strange stone she brought back from the Qixi Night Market.

Xixiang Yueben put the stone on the bedside so that she could see it all the time. She felt strange about this stone and wanted to find out the reason.

It's just that one day, she didn't care much, and she didn't keep an eye on the cat, so she called it into the bedroom, and "missed its claw" and pushed the stone down to the ground and broke it.

This strange stone is not the night pearl of the South China Sea, how can it be so easily broken?Even Nanhai Yemingzhu knocked it many times before she finally broke it. If it wasn't for the cat's manipulation, how could it be broken at the first touch?

Recalling earlier, Maoer objected to her buying that stone at the Qixi Night Market.

Now...

Does this stone have anything to do with cats?

Xixiangyue still couldn't figure out the joints in it for the time being, but she also wrote it down.

Xiao Hagi didn't expect that because he hated that stone too much for attracting Yue'er's attention, his act of retaliation would arouse Xixiang Yue's suspicion.

If she had known—she would still do it.

The "cold war" between Xixiang Yue and the black cat lasted until just now.

I heard that Xixiangyue's cousin came to her and just let Xixiangyue comb it, but the black cat that didn't respond at all was pinching on the sleeve of Xixiangyue who wanted to put it down on the ground. follow.

Hearing from Ming Yucheng that the "Prince Jie" was somewhat similar to the evil spirit who wanted to attack Yue'er or her mother before, the black cat's previous grievances turned into anger against this "Prince Jie".

They had previously guessed that the person who attacked Xixiang Yue on the night of Qixi Festival might have something to do with that evil spirit, but now that a person suspected to be related to that evil spirit appeared, how could she remain indifferent?

The black cat grinds its paws in its heart, coveting Yan'er while hurting Yue'er, there are such people in this world?

Perhaps the black cat showed some strange behavior, Xixiang Yue patted the black cat's head, and she asked Ming Yucheng: "Cousin, what kind of similarity do you say, what kind of similarity is it?"

Ming Yu Cheng said: "There are two burn scars on the left and right corners of the boy's eyes, but one is thicker and shallower, and the other is thinner."

"As for this Prince Jie, it is said that he was injured by a rocket on the battlefield, and he also suffered two scars at the corners of his eyes."

The two scars, the two scars at the corners of the eyes, and the marks of burns, would anyone believe it was a coincidence?

At least Ming Yucheng, Xixiang Yue, and Xiao Hagi didn't believe it.

Xixiang Yue said: "Didn't my cousin say that the evil spirit was killed on the spot? Why did he come back as the prince of the Juan Kingdom?"

Ming Yucheng shook his head: "I don't know either. At that time, the evil spirit was about to attack me again, but it was restrained by the spell drawn on my back by the Master, and it fell down after a while. I reached out to test his breath. is dead."

"I didn't dare to say anything about that evil thing, so I thought of a way to mix the corpse into a cart and secretly send it to a mass grave for disposal."

"You didn't care about it after that?"

"Yes."

This evil thing really left him with some very bad memories, he didn't want to touch it again, so he forced himself to forget about it.

Xixiangyue pondered for a while: "Why don't we go and find Master Jingchuan again, and see if he has any suggestions?"

If the evil creature really didn't die, the responsibility should also be placed on the head of Master Jing Chuan, who told him that his talisman didn't work?

Although Ming Yucheng felt that it was inappropriate to bother Master Jingchuan with everything, he had no other choice about the evil thing, so he could only trouble him more.

"I heard that Master Jingchuan does not come out because of state affairs. Is there a way for Her Royal Highness to ask Master to agree to see us?"

"What's the difficulty?" Xixiang Yue said casually: "Just go directly to the Observatory, he will meet us."

Ming Yucheng stayed in the capital for a while, so he knew how much his cousin was loved, so he didn't doubt it.

But before going to the Observatory of Stars, Xixiang Yue was recruited by the emperor first.

Right now the emperor is in the Empress's Chenji Palace, when Xixiang Yue came in, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit stagnant.The emperor and queen were divided into two sides, each with displeasure on their faces, as if they had different opinions.

You can guess what it was for, Xixiang Yue seemed not aware of it, and obediently walked over to salute.

Before she could fully salute, the emperor called her up.He always felt that this daughter seemed a little different from before, if he allowed her to salute, it seemed that his life would be shortened.

This feeling is hazy, and the emperor's feeling is not very clear, so he just called him up, and he didn't feel too strange.

"What did the emperor ask his daughter to do?"

Xi Xiangyue sat next to the queen, and shook her sleeves: "Queen mother, what did my son do to make you angry?"

Her voice was crisp and sweet, and the queen couldn't help softening her face when she heard it, and smiled kindly at Xixiang Yue: "It's none of Yue'er's business, it's your father..."

The emperor and the empress are also old couples, and the empress occasionally complains about the emperor, but it's actually not a big deal.

"What's wrong with me?" The emperor snorted softly, "I just came to discuss with you, and you just winked at me."

The queen ignored him.

The emperor said to Xixiang Yue again: "Does Yue'er have someone she likes?"

Xixiang Yue shook her head: "Why would Father ask this?"

The emperor said: "You are old and not young. It's time to see your husband. The emperor doesn't care about you. If there is someone you like, the character, talent and appearance are decent, and there are no criminals in the ancestors, the emperor will allow it."

As for family background, who else in the world has a family background comparable to that of the royal family?None of this is a problem.

Xixiang Yue said: "Father, do you want a daughter? Why are you urging your daughter to marry?"

It finally calmed down, the prince of the Juan Kingdom went to Beijing, and the emperor brought up the old matter again, which really upset her, the prince Jie really had a grudge against her.

"Girls are from every family, and it is impossible for them to never marry."

Before Xixiangyue could retort, the emperor said: "You know, the prince of the Juan Kingdom has already gone to Beijing, and it is very likely that he is here to marry you. If you have not made a marriage agreement, there will inevitably be a rift between the two countries, and the emperor can only marry you." You married him."

Although the emperor's words contained threats, they were not necessarily groundless.

Prince Juan's army stopped at the border between the two countries. If he had to marry Princess Qiongfang and order the Juan army to revolt, even if it was finally calmed down and the two armies handed over, there would be casualties.

Soldiers are all flesh and blood, and they also have parents and relatives. Where can they vent their resentment?Naturally, it was Princess Qiongfang who was aiming at undermining the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

They don't care if the prince of the Juan Kingdom is arrogant and domineering, they only know that there have been princesses in all dynasties who have been married, and it is a sin for this Princess Qiongfang to refuse to marry.

At that time, not only will the hearts of the people be shaken, but Princess Qiongfang will also be branded as a disaster.

This is the difference between the emperor and the empress. The emperor's heart is pure country. From the emperor's point of view, if he can't find a suitable son-in-law, Qiongfang can only marry Juan country far away.

The queen is different, she is only a daughter of Qiongfang, how can she be allowed to marry far away?

Hearing what the emperor said to Xixiang Yue, the queen opened her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Qiongfang, think about it carefully."

Xixiangyue didn't play tricks, but was quite understanding: "This matter concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and my daughter dare not be willful."

"Yue'er." The queen felt distressed.

The emperor sighed lightly, but showed a little relief.

Xixiangyue continued: "However, my daughter doesn't know any men, and she doesn't know how to choose. How about..."

"Not what?"

Xixiang Yue said: "Why not, the father imitated the folk competitions to recruit relatives, and held a similar competition for his daughter, using the six arts of a gentleman to evaluate, and each selected a few winners, and then let the daughter decide whether it is possible to choose a son-in-law?"

The emperor frowned: "How decent is this?"

Xixiang Yue said: "Could it be that the father thinks that the daughter is not worthy of these winners?"

"Nonsense," said the emperor, "You are my princess, only others are not worthy of you, how can you not be worthy of others?"

"That's it." Xixiang Yue said, "My daughter's husband naturally wants the best."

"And..." Xixiang Yue blinked: "If the prince asks to marry his daughter, then let him participate in the competition too. If he can't stand out, what face does he have to ask me to marry him?"

The queen thought for a while and said, "This Prince Jie is said to be a victorious general, among other things, in terms of archery..."

"Our pure country can't find a young talent who is more powerful than him? If that's the case, then my daughter might as well marry him."

The queen's face was serious: "How can this be done?"

Xixiang Yue said softly: "It's because he won the first place in archery. It's true that other things are not necessarily the case. Isn't the right to choose in the daughter's hands?"

Seeing that the emperor and empress were a little shaken, Xixiang Yue said, "There's no need to declare to the outside world that you are recruiting a son-in-law for me, just find other reasons to compete, just add a little hint."

There are so many things that can be manipulated in the competition, is it not easy for her to find someone to come out on top?If this matter is facilitated, it will be beneficial to her.

The three most honorable people of Pure Country were discussing in the hall, and outside the hall, a black figure flashed quickly.
