empress and princess

It was quiet, no one passed by, and the maids looked at each other in blank dismay.

The sharp-eyed saw who the eldest princess had hit, and someone beside her nudged her, and whispered: "Hurry up, the eldest princess is calling you."

The man was still bowing his head, and it seemed that he was serving for the first time, Chu Huaimin was very considerate: "You guys step back first."

"Yes."

Soon, only the two of them were left in the hall.

From a distance of five or six steps, Chu Huaimin couldn't see clearly the lowered face of the man across the way. Although she had changed her attire, she recognized who it was at a glance.

There was a trace of teasing on Chu Huaimin's lips, he stood there and opened his hands, indifferently: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over and change clothes for me?"

"..." One dared to give orders, and the other dared to be presumptuous.

The 'maid' paused, and originally wanted to raise her head to show her face, but now she changed her clothes as soon as she said to herself, who is afraid of others, and it's not that she was taken advantage of, so she still approached with her head down.

After one step away, a pleasant fragrance emanated from Chu Huaimin's body, which smelled so good, the 'maid' sneaked a few glances at her from the corner of her eye, and was extremely careful not to touch Chu Huaimin's eyes, and then obediently offered her a favor. The eldest princess undressed.

But she was so pampered, she had never served anyone before, so it was inevitable that she would be clumsy, and she accidentally tore off a few hairs of the eldest princess during the undressing process...

Seeing the evidence at her fingertips, Qin Tangjing was ashamed, and hurriedly rolled up the scroll to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, causing the eldest princess to look at her coldly.

She lowered her head, turned sideways silently, and came behind the eldest princess, pretending to be innocent and ignorant, and continued to work hard.

Of course, the hands and feet are honest, but the eyes are not honest, and the eyes are full.

"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?" Chu Huaimin asked.

'Maid' whispered: "Yes."

"It's the first time to come to the bathing hall of this palace, how do you feel?"

The 'maid' quickly looked around and gave her a reply: "It's very big."

"Do you like it?"

I can't say if I like it, this is the hole the eldest princess dug for her, the 'maid' lowered her voice: "...servant dare not."

"Is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"

"..." Without revealing her identity as the 'maid', she pretended to be stupid, "Yes."

"for example?"

"Slaves dare not disobey their mother."

"You are filial."

After a few words of conversation, the 'maid' rolled her eyes and became bolder, and asked her back: "Where is the eldest princess?"

After half a cup of tea, there was a response: "I am not afraid of anything." "The eldest princess is joking." She cleared her throat, "There are things that people dare not do, or are afraid of doing."

Chu Huaimin remained silent, looking down, he saw the hands on his waist that were untying his skirt. They were slender but not delicate, with a thin layer of calluses on the sides of the fingers and the palms. It was clear that they were the ones who had been holding pens and guns all year round.

A wise man made a move, and his move was fatal: "You are very clever, so stay by Ben Gong's side to serve you from now on."

"Well... okay, this is the honor of the slave." It sounded very reluctant.

"Don't want to?"

"I don't dare, slaves and servants enter the palace and come to the eldest princess. They are born to be the eldest princess's people, and they will be the eldest princess's ghost when they die." Taking the opportunity to flatter her.

Chu Huaimin remained motionless, and when she took off the last piece of underwear, she quickly grasped the 'maid's' wrist, and got close to it. She raised her hand, hooked her chin precisely and forced the 'maid' to raise her head, and then revealed a smile. An all-too-familiar face.

Although she knew it well, she was suddenly exposed by the eldest princess, and she was still next to her, with such an ambiguous posture...

"Qin Jihuang, are you from my palace and also my ghost?"

Chu Huaimin had bright eyes with phoenix eyebrows, and was wearing a thin shirt. He leaned over and stared at her with deep eyes. The moment they looked at each other, it was as if they were sucked into the deep eyes, like falling into an abyss. Qin Tangjing's heart beat suddenly. clap.

So, like a ghost, he replied: "Princess, do you want me to be your person, or do you want me to be your ghost?"

"It looks good, it's a pity to become a ghost."

Chu Huaimin was expressionless, hooking Qin Tangjing's chin to help her stand still.

Qin Tangjing grabbed her hand, "Would you like to follow me?"

After so many days of entanglement, I still came back to this question after going round and round, and this question has no emotion, only cold calculation and use.

"My palace bathing hall appears, Princess Qin won't give me an explanation?"

Chu Huaimin avoided talking about it, Qin Tangjing felt a little anxious, and said a few perfunctory words: "Passing by, come and see you."

"finish watching?"

The implication was to drive people away, but Qin Tangjing said unwillingly when he didn't get an answer from the eldest princess, "It's over."

"Yeah." Chu Huaimin turned around and entered the screen, with a graceful figure, "You can go."

Qin Tang didn't move, "I haven't helped you change your clothes yet!"

"Need not."

The last sentence is equivalent to rejection.

Gentlemen never peek at people taking a bath, and never stay any longer. Qin Tangjing came out of the bathing hall and stood on the steps and patted her face lightly, why did she always feel a little empty in her heart.

"Where have you been, are you meeting the eldest princess again?"

Qin Tangjing returned to the palace banquet in the back garden. When Qin Jiufeng saw her pulling her, he asked:

"How, after seeing the eldest princess, is there a good plan?"

Qin Tangjing sat down, and first glanced at Song Rong opposite, not reconciled to being empty-handed, thinking about the scene where Chu Huaimin became the queen of Song... She raised the wine cup and drank it all, saying: "Little Huangshu, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for them Song Guo."

Qin Jiufeng frowned when she heard this, but comforted her by saying, "That's good, it avoids the possibility of your mother breaking your leg."

"If the queen mother breaks my leg, you, little emperor uncle, will have to break one too."

"You are the king and I am the minister, who do you think will decide?"

"I will break it with you, the little emperor uncle did not fulfill his duties as a minister."

"Hey... stinky girl!"

Needless to say, the twenty cities almost killed Lord Qin Jiu, but her niece was more important than her life.

"The Eldest Princess is very powerful, who can bully her? Then the King of Song is not bad either, he is suave and in his prime. If the Eldest Princess marries her, the King of Song will not treat her badly."

Qin Tangjing snorted: "I heard that Queen Song has a lot of wives and concubines in the harem, and she has several sons. Doesn't she become a cheap mother when she marries King Song?"

"Then let's pray together. Before the eldest princess married Song, King Song..."

Qin Jiufeng made a gesture of wiping his neck: "In this way, the eldest princess has become the highest authority in the Song Kingdom."

Qin Tangjing sneered, Song Wang was as strong as a cow, and it was not so easy to kick his legs.

The next moment she changed her mind, seeing Song Rong's smiling face, as if she was holding a winning ticket, she agreed with what Little Huangshu said, and began to pray silently in her heart...

After waiting for a while, everyone gathered together, those who should have come or not, the king of Chu waved his big hand again, and the farewell banquet started.

"Come!" During the banquet, the king of Chu raised his glass with joy and stood up, facing the envoy of Qin on the left, "The Ninth Prince has traveled thousands of miles and worked hard. I wish the Ninth Prince a safe journey and respect the Ninth Prince."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Jiufeng stood up and drank a glass of wine, wiped his mouth, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty entertained you well, and I will come again."

Coming again means the defeat of the Chu State. The King of Chu’s face froze, and he hid it and laughed: "It’s too far away, thousands of miles away, so don’t bother the Ninth Prince. !"

Qin Jiufeng also laughed: "I have galloped on the battlefield for 20 years, and my spear is extremely sharp, and it can be used for another ten years."

"Okay!" Chu Wang clapped his hands, "The Ninth Prince will never give up to a woman!"

"Your Majesty's praise."

No one can get a bargain after such a few back and forth.

The Qin envoy was the highlight of the day, and Qin Jiufeng was the one to deal with it. Qin Tangjing just sat and didn't say much. When she met Chu Huaimin's eyes a few times, she raised her eyebrows and turned to Song Rong.

"Your Majesty, since the Ninth Prince is going back to China tomorrow, can we vote together on the marriage between Chu and Song?" Song Rong cupped his hands.

"This..." The King of Chu looked embarrassed.

"Lord Nine, what do you think?" Song Rong said in a respectful tone.

"In my opinion..." Qin Jiufeng glanced up from the corner of his eye, "It's better to let the eldest princess decide."

No matter how he decides, he will get [-] cities for nothing in Chu State, the king of Chu lowered his eyelashes to cover his eyes with eagerness.

At the beginning, he was worried that he would not be able to control the state of Chu without Ah Min, but later found that as long as Ah Min was there, he would never be able to completely control the state of Chu.

The king of Chu tilted his head and whispered: "Ah Min, neither Qin nor Song can afford to offend, this is also a major event in your life, you choose."

Sitting on Chu Huaimin, he raised his eyes, looked at Qintang Jingzuo as if no one else was around, and stared at the female princess in shock...but the female princess looked back calmly:

"The minister's daughter won the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and the eldest princess said she would abandon her. Isn't it against the rules?"

Immediately someone retorted:

"But you are a woman."

"That's right, how can a woman marry a wife? Besides, you are just a little princess..."

"How can the eldest princess marry a woman, and even marry a princess, and spread the word that she will lose face and make the whole world laugh at her, it's so ridiculous!"

……

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Who stipulates that women cannot marry wives? The martial arts competition stipulates that women cannot marry wives? Or is it stipulated by the laws of your country?"

It is a matter of agreement and customs, it is a matter of course, who will make special regulations?

Someone still retorted, but Qin Tangjing said lightly: "By the way, I haven't told you yet, there is an express law in Daqin that women can marry wives."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in an uproar, and Qin Jiufeng was also surprised, and said in a low voice, "When did you add it? Why don't I know!"

"The lonely king will add it when he returns."

Qin Jiufeng: "..."

Come casually, full of nonsense.

"The princess is not ashamed of her words?" Song Rong came out at this time, "The eldest princess is married, and there is no grand red makeup wedding ceremony for the whole country. Let you do whatever you want. Wouldn't it make people laugh at you Qin?"

Qin Tangjing solved it easily: "When the person arrives, he will naturally take care of it."

Song Rong still smiled gently: "Princess Qin is eloquent, this hall is not your opponent, so I am willing to bow down."

The subject changed, "But this matter is up to you to argue, it doesn't count." She cupped her hands and said, "Let the Eldest Princess decide."

Qin Tangjing shrugged.

"Then let the eldest princess decide." She said casually.

But everyone held their breaths, and the atmosphere reached a state of being on the verge of breaking out.

Chu Huaimin lowered her eyes slightly, sipped her cup slowly and slowly, raised her eyes slowly, taking in all the expressions from the audience, she moved her lower lip.

"Third prince, something is wrong!" Someone from outside the palace crawled and rolled in.

It was interrupted at a critical moment, Song Rong didn't see the eldest princess's decision, so he had to scold: "Why, why are you in a hurry?"

"Something happened to the king!"

Song Rong was surprised: "What?"

"Your Majesty was leading people to hunt a few days ago, and he accidentally fell off his horse and hit his head... He is still unconscious..." The attendant cried, "Prime Minister, please return home quickly!"

Song Rong almost fell.

No matter how much time it takes to continue talking to the emperor's brother, his life is almost gone.

After a while, he looked at everyone in blank dismay, hurried back to pack his bags, and rode out of the city on a fast horse with his attendants, galloping away.

The farewell banquet really sends people away.

Once the envoy Song is gone, without competition, how it will end is a question...

It happened so suddenly, it's a bit overwhelming.

Song Wang is fine, so why...

In the dead silence, Qin Tangjing moved to Qin Jiufeng's ear: "Little Huangshu, did this job fall to me?"

Qin Jiufeng pinched her leg: "Be honest, did you pray!"

Qin Tangjing: "Well..."
