I trade my property for my wife

Xiao Jingyin asked again: "How long have you been in?"

Qin Ling said truthfully, "Two hours."

Xiao Jingyin didn't ask any more questions, and walked into the Library Pavilion, where he didn't see Emperor Xiao.But he saw Jiang Xingchen sitting on the floor with a book in his hand, reading it with great interest, and he didn't even notice Xiao Jingyin came in.

A court lady wanted to remind her, but Xiao Jingyin raised her hand to stop her. She walked lightly behind Jiang Xingchen, leaned halfway to her side, trying to see what book she was reading so engrossed.Unexpectedly, he was startled for a moment by Jiang Xingchen who suddenly turned his head, his eyes met, the distance was too close, and the breath of both sides could be felt.

Jiang Xingchen hastily withdrew his body, and after seeing the person clearly, he settled down and saluted to greet him. Xiao Jingyin was also a little embarrassed by the sudden atmosphere, cleared his throat and said, "Well, get up, my father Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Jingyin seemed to think of something, and asked quickly: "How do you know I'm a princess?"

Jiang Xingchen had obviously adjusted his flustered atmosphere just now, and replied calmly: "I guessed it during the martial arts competition yesterday. Although the princess was wearing men's clothes yesterday, she was not very different from today. She is still radiant and beautiful, making people want to see more. eye." Then he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jingyin.

Xiao Jingyin was only stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You really can talk."

He asked again: "My royal father summoned you, why don't you see my royal father here?"

Jiang Xingchen replied: "Someone came to report an hour and a half ago, and there was an urgent report from the frontier. Your Majesty went down to the main hall to discuss with the ministers, and asked the little people to wait here."

Frontier dispatch?Xiao Jingyin thought that if it was an urgent report from the frontier, it must be no small matter, how could Jiang Xingchen be left alone in the Library Pavilion.If there is no emperor's order, don't you want to stay here forever? My father must be deliberately making things difficult.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyin invited: "Now it's the warm spring season, would you like to accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."

Jiang Xingchen raised his head to meet Xiao Jingyin's clear eyes like spring water, and said, "It's the princess' praise, and Xiaomin is very honored."

"Okay, let's go for a walk." While walking, he told a maid to stay here, and let the maid wait here for Xiao Huang. If the father came back, he would tell Jiang Xingchen that she would take him away.

It solved Jiang Xingchen's temporary difficulties.

When going out, Qin Ling, who was guarding the door, saw Jiang Xingchen coming out with the princess, and thought about it.Jiang Xingchen nodded to signal Qin Ling to be at ease, Qin Ling understood, and followed Jiang Xingchen to the Royal Garden.

When the flowers bloom in the warm spring, the flowers in the imperial garden are already in bloom, attracting butterflies and bees to dance.There are so many varieties of designs and colors in the imperial garden that you can't see them all at a glance.

While admiring the flowers, Jiang Xingchen wondered why the princess asked her to come and enjoy the flowers together.

In fact, Xiao Huang let her stay in the Library Pavilion to punish her for making mistakes in the article during the Japanese test. How could Xiao Huang not know that Jiang Xingchen was as intelligent as his beloved Ninth Princess. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics when he was old.

Although he is a family of merchants, but he has such a reputation as a child prodigy at such a young age, presumably when he grows up, his writing will not be bad.Who would have thought that she would make a mistake on purpose, so he could only pick out the good parts of her writing and pretend to praise her to achieve his goal.

Jiang Xingchen's literary talent is indeed not bad. If her father, Jiang Yuanming, hadn't wanted her to take over the Jiang family and cultivate her business skills, she might have been the number one scholar a few years ago.

Jiang Xingchen walked with the princess, and then went to the Guanhua Pavilion nearby, thinking whether to start with the princess, to see if he could persuade the princess to withdraw from the royal marriage.

After entering the pavilion, Jiang Xingchen pondered in his heart, but his face was leisurely and calm.

Xiao Jingyin is so smart, how can she not know what Jiang Xingchen is thinking, although she conceals it, but from her clenched fingers, it can be seen that she is debating whether to speak or not.

Xiao Jingyin said with a gentle smile: "I brought you out, apart from viewing the flowers, I also came to you for something."

Jiang Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that as long as he doesn't have children, he can say anything.

On the face, he replied unhurriedly: "I don't know why the princess is looking for Xiaomin?"

Xiao Jingyin said bluntly: "Yesterday you told Ben Gong that you cannot marry Ben Gong, is there any unspeakable secret?"

When Jiang Xingchen was asked about this so suddenly, he subconsciously looked at Qin Ling who was next to him. Seeing their eyes meeting, the princess forced a smile and said, "You don't need to say anything, I already know."

Jiang Xingchen looked puzzled, how did Princess Xindao know that I was going to say something inhumane?

Immediately afterwards, I heard Xiao Jingyin say: "After marriage, I will not interfere with you. You want to be with the person next to you..." Xiao Jingyin looked at Qin Ling.

"Xiao Min Jiang Qin Ling." Seeing that the princess could not tell her name, Qin Ling reminded her aloud.

Xiao Jingyin pursed her lips and continued: "Jiang Qinling, as long as you and Jiang Qinling don't do anything that will damage the royal family's face in the open, I will turn a blind eye to it. You don't have to start with me and think about retiring, you should know the emperor. Life is hard to break." No matter how favored a person is, in the eyes of the emperor, he will become worthless in front of the national interest.

Jiang Xingchen was puzzled, she and Qin Ling?What can be done to damage the face of the royal family?

Qin Ling immediately thought of the habit of breaking sleeves.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen frowning together, Xiao Jingyin seemed puzzled.He said again: "You and I only need to be affectionate on the surface, and I will not have a real relationship with you. You can do it?"

Jiang Xingchen was still thinking about the previous words, and when he heard the latter sentence, there is no need to have a husband and wife, his face suddenly showed surprise, he only thought for a moment before agreeing: "Yes!"

She was afraid that the princess would go back on her word, since she couldn't withdraw from the marriage, she didn't have to act like a husband and wife.Then her female identity will not be easily exposed, and it is a good condition that she will not suffer.

"The wedding is set to be held in the capital half a month later, and the son-in-law's mansion is also being repaired." Xiao Jingyin murmured, and the words without any emotion reached Jiang Xingchen's ears.

Does she not want to marry too?

Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Xiao Jingyin who looked calm but seemed to be wandering.

Looking through Xiao Jingyin's dim eyes half-closed for looking at the flowers under the strong light in the distance, did he think of some sad things?

When Jiang Xingchen left the palace, it was still early.

As soon as he left the imperial garden, he asked Qin Ling in a low voice: "The princess just talked about the matter between us, what is the matter between us? Could it be that she saw that we are all women?"

Qin Ling explained as if looking at an idiot: "The princess is saying that we are broken sleeves, and she wants to fulfill us."

Jiang Xingchen immediately stood there dumbfounded, broken sleeve?

Why didn't she think of it, Qin Ling reminded her that when she was in Jialing, there were rumors that she was not a womanizer, and a rich kid like her had already married a wife and had children, and even if she didn't marry a wife, she would always be served by a housemaid When she arrived, no one in the mansion except Qin Ling had ever served her personally.

Qin Ling not only waited on her personally, but often shared the same couch.

Jiang Xingchen never cared about these things before. Her identity as a woman could not be revealed when her grandfather was still alive. The fact that she shared a bed with Qin Ling was before she was eight years old. Why are people still talking about it?

Just now Xiao Jingyin tentatively mentioned this matter, Jiang Xingchen also understood now.It's just that Xiao Jingyin is willing to marry her even though he knows it, it's really an imperial order.

Is it because she agreed not to have a husband and wife with her that she is broken?

Thinking of Xiao Jingyin's expression just now, Jiang Xingchen felt pity for some reason.

The Imperial Concubine's Mansion has been completely repaired. It is a new house, and it took only a few days to take care of it. It is only waiting for the princess consort to move in after her marriage.

The son-in-law's mansion happened to be on the same street as the other courtyard of Jiang's mansion in the capital. The two mansions were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the whole street was decorated with festive colors, making it very lively.

The emperor married his daughter, and there was a lot of celebration inside and outside the palace, but Jiang Yuanming didn't go there after receiving the letter. Even if it was adding more people to the family, he was very unhappy.

When Jiang Yuanming arrived just before the wedding, seeing the red happy characters in the mansion, he was indescribably depressed.Worried, he worked hard for several days, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

When he woke up, it was already an hour later, and he saw his daughter Jiang Xingchen and righteous daughter Qin Ling standing in front of the bed worriedly.

Jiang Xingchen recounted the process of the civil and military competition, and told Father Jiang what Xiao Jingyin said in the imperial garden.

Jiang Yuanming sighed and said: "It would be the best if this princess is so respectful to you as a guest. If your daughter is found and reported to His Majesty, the Jiang family will definitely suffer disaster." Started to sigh.

The news of Jiang's father's fainting had already entered the palace, and the palace sent people to greet him. Jiang Xingchen only said that his father was overjoyed and running around non-stop in order to attend his wedding, so he just needs to rest and rest, so as not to delay tomorrow's wedding.

The wedding banquet was held on the moonlit night of Ziabaca.

With the loud sound of gongs and drums, Jiang Yuanming, as the richest man in the country of Xiao without any fame, entered the palace for the first time.Although those civil servants and generals were disdainful, they did not dare to make it too obvious. After all, Emperor Xiao still relied on his wealth to fill the treasury.

Jiang Xingchen swayed after drinking for three rounds, and left Xiao Huang and the guests and ministers early to go to the princess' bedroom.

That is the bridal chamber. Although the agreement was reached before the marriage, how can the princess wait in the room alone for a long time? Etiquette is still required.

Jiang Xingchen didn't drink much, he just pretended to be drunk.Pushing open the door, he saw Xiao Jingyin dressed in red on the bed, with Xiao Jingyin in the phoenix crown and xiabei living in the middle of the bed.

Although he couldn't see the face, he knew that the person under the red hijab had a beautiful face. Jiang Xingchen had seen it twice.

Jiang Xingchen told the maid next to her, if she has nothing else to do, go down, she can serve the princess.

Jiang Xingchen was not in a hurry to lift the bride's hijab, and looked at the people on the bed for a while, but he didn't see the slightest nervousness, right? There's nothing to be nervous about.

But Jiang Xingchen himself was a little nervous. Jiang Xingchen stretched out his slender fingers and picked up the happy name next to him with an unknown mood.Pursing her lips lightly, she slowly raised the red hijab covering the bride's head from bottom to top.

Although Jiang Xingchen had seen Xiao Jingyin's face, his heart throbbed for a moment. When Xiao Jingyin looked up at her, Jiang Xingchen's throat rolled for a moment.

Such a beautiful person, with rosy lips, slender waist, and natural nobility between her eyebrows and eyes, at this time the red dress makes her skin more delicate and white, like suet white jade, flawless.Such an alluring beauty is actually the wife of a woman named Jiang Xingchen.

Although Jiang Xingchen felt that he was reckless, he didn't restrain his obsessive eyes when he looked at the person in front of him.

Xiao Jingyin looked at Jiang Xingchen's dazed eyes, and lightly parted her red lips, "Have you seen enough?"

Jiang Xingchen blinked, pursed his lips, and continued the unfinished movement, picking the red hijab aside.

Turning around again, he apologized softly, "It's Xingchen who was rude."

Xiao Jingyin replied indifferently, "It's okay."

Jiang Xingchen pursed his thin lips, and added, "The princess reminded me of a poem tonight."

Xiao Jingyin was puzzled: "He Shi?"

Jiang Xingchen raised his eyes to meet Xiao Jingyin's watery eyes, and said slowly with his thin lips, "There are beauties in the north who are peerless and independent. They look at the city of people, and then they look at the country of people." At this moment, Xiao Jingyin is beautiful in Jiang Xingchen's heart Impossible to move.

"The son-in-law is absurd." Xiao Jingyin replied politely.

When Jiang Xingchen heard Xiao Jingyin's words, he raised his eyes and glanced greedily. Xiao Jingyin, who was dressed in red, made her throb and seemed familiar, as if he had seen the treasure he had been looking for for many years.

Jiang Xingchen thought of the unfinished etiquette, soothed the churning in his heart, and said, "Princess, would you like to drink a glass of quilt wine with Xingchen?"

Xiao Jingyin looked up at Jiang Xingchen's eyes and said, "Since you and I are married, we are naturally willing."

Drinking quilt wine on the wedding night is the proper procedure, but Jiang Xingchen still asked Xiao Jingyin, and when he heard Xiao Jingyin's answer, he couldn't restrain the momentary joy in his heart, and the corners of his lips raised. I don't know myself.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen's eyes when he agreed to drink the quilt wine, Xiao Jingyin became puzzled.

Just drinking and being so happy?

Jiang Xingchen filled the wine cups on the table with pillows, handed a cup to Xiao Jingyin's hand, and kept the cup in his own hand.Sitting on the wedding bed with Xiao Jingyin, carefully crossed arms with Xiao Jingyin and drank the wedding wine in his hand.

Jiang Xingchen unabashedly looked at Xiao Jingyin almost obsessively. Such burning eyes made Xiao Jingyin more suspicious.

After drinking the quilt wine, Jiang Xingchen took the empty cup from Xiao Jingyin's hand, and then heard a knock on the door.

Then I heard Qin Ling's deep voice: "Stars."

Xiao Jingyin looked at Jiang Xingchen with even more doubts. Perhaps it was because of drinking that the rosy color on Jiang Xingchen's face had not faded, and he looked a little naive and immature at this moment.

Seeing Xiao Jingyin's puzzled gaze, Jiang Xingchen explained softly: "I ordered my brother to come here."

Xiao Jingyin: "???"

Could it be that Jiang Qinling wanted to occupy Jiang Xingchen on the wedding night?

Seeing Xiao Jingyin's displeasure, Jiang Xingchen knew that she had misunderstood, so he was not in a hurry to defend himself.He got up and opened the door, said a few words to Qin Ling who was outside, and then let her leave.

When he turned around and went back to his room, he had something extra in his hand—a hot meal.

Jiang Xingchen put the food on the table and turned around to see Xiao Jingyin looking at her vigilantly.

Jiang Xingchen smiled slightly, and explained in a good-natured soft voice: "I know the princess has misunderstood me and my brother. I am not as good as Long Yang, and neither is my brother." While talking, he sat in a gesture of invitation and motioned Xiao Jingyin to the table sit on the side.

Only then did Xiao Jingyin realize that she was afraid that she would be hungry, so she specially ordered Jiang Qinling to get some food.It's just that Jiang Qinling has no acquaintances in this deep palace, how did he get it?

Jiang Xingchen continued what he said just now and explained: "It's just that when I was a child, a famous monk came to my family and said that I was reincarnated from an alien star, and I can't get close to women, otherwise my life may be in danger." This statement is half true and half false.

When Xiao Jingyin heard this, she understood why it was rumored that she was not close to women.Not knowing what she had to say, Xiao Jingyin continued to listen without interrupting.

"Father has only one child, and my mother suffered a hemorrhage after I was born and was unable to save it. My father always felt sorry for my mother, so he didn't want to continue. He didn't even think about taking a concubine."

As he said, he handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xiao Jingyin and continued: "Father regards me as a treasure, and would rather believe what I have or not. That's why I didn't let the maids serve me since I was a child. The servant was born rough, and my father did it all by himself. Later, my brother Here, she treats me like a younger brother, so my father trusts me to let her take care of me." At this moment, Xiao Jingyin also understood why it was rumored that she was as good as Long Yang.

Jiang Yuanming really did everything by himself back then, but later he felt that the girl was getting older, even though they were father and daughter, they knew the difference between men and women.Back then, Daoist Yanghui revealed their "secret" and brought Qin Ling along, telling them that fate could help each other.

Jiang Yuanming dubiously left Qin Ling behind. It was not until an accident that Qin Ling rescued Jiang Xingchen regardless of the danger. Since then, Jiang Yuanming has completely trusted Qin Ling.

Xiao Jingyin listened to Jiang Xingchen talk about his past and the reason for his "unspeakable secret".For a moment, he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know how to face her next.

She originally thought that Jiang Xingchen fell in love with Qin Ling because of his broken sleeves, and she was happy to be at ease, so she didn't have to deal with her.Now that Jiang Xingchen said that he was not, but that he couldn't get close to women, then the previous agreement can still be counted, right?

She buried her head in the rice in the porcelain bowl, thinking about what Jiang Xingchen would say next.

But after waiting for a long time, the rice in the bowl was almost gone, and Jiang Xingchen didn't say anything else.

Jiang Xingchen saw that Xiao Jingyin's reaction after hearing her words was quite cute, and he felt a little more fond of him.

Not all royal nobles are so domineering, and the one in front of her is the one who is easy to talk to.

Looking at Xiao Jingyin with the phoenix crown on her head, she unknowingly twisted her sore neck.Although the movement range was small and small, Jiang Xingchen still noticed it. She got up and moved to stand behind her.

Xiao Jingyin didn't know what she was going to do for a while, and saw Jiang Xingchen reached out and gently removed the thick hairpin on her top carefully one by one.

Xiao Jingyin was surprised for a moment, but she didn't move, and then let her pick up the heavy thing.

After returning to his seat, Jiang Xingchen picked up the chopsticks next to him, took a piece of the pickled cucumber in front of him, and gave it to Xiao Jingyin, saying, "This is the special pickled cucumber from Jiudinglou in the capital. Try it."

Xiao Jingyin raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xingchen with questioning eyes. Jiang Xingchen explained with a smile: "These were brought in before entering the palace. I heard that women can't eat since they get married, for fear that the princess will starve to death. , I asked my brother to borrow the kitchen and bring it over. As for where she borrowed the kitchen from, I don’t know.”

After hearing Jiang Xingchen's explanation, Xiao Jingyin looked at the gentle and gentle Jiang Xingchen in front of him, but didn't know what to say.

After a day of tossing around, both Jiang Xingchen and Xiao Jingyin were a little tired.

Seeing Xiao Jingyin covering his face, Jiang Xingchen yawned, and said, "Princess rests early tonight, if there is anything you want to ask, I will talk to you tomorrow."

Xiao Jingyin nodded slightly.

Jiang Xingchen took a quilt from Xi's bed, placed it in the space in front of the bed, and got into the quilt with his clothes closed.
