Baochai is a mermaid

After being received by An Ning to the Palace of Zhongshun, Xue Baoer discovered that there was a banquet in the Palace of Zhongshun today, and most of the people who came to the banquet were the family members of military officials who were dressed up according to their tastes.

The rules learned in the palace were not in vain, at least one could judge from the makeup and clothes, who were family members of civil servants, who were family members of military officers, and their ranks.

Good guy, a lady who is above the third rank.

"Is this all here to see you?" Xue Bao'er tugged at An Ning's sleeve and asked.

The queen has already come to propose a marriage, and Wang Zhongshun and his wife are unwilling to let An Ning marry Wei Chi, so they must make some moves in the next few days.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would be so exciting.

An Ning led Xue Bao'er through the hanging flower gate, and said with a sad face: "Originally, my mother and concubine only invited the family members of the father and the king's old subordinates, but who knew that so many people came here, and the front and back yards were packed."

"Are there a lot of people in the front yard?" Xue Bao'er was a little curious. Usually, it seems that the female family members come forward for such things.

An Ning looked helpless: "It was my mother's concubine's idea. They asked them to bring their sons over and said that I would choose them myself."

This is a bit powerful, Xue Baoer's almond eyes widened: "Can you still choose by yourself?"

She has only heard of some relatively enlightened families, when both families intend to get married, the female relatives of the man's family will take the initiative to invite the woman's family to go out or attend a party together, pretending to meet by chance, and looking for opportunities to let the two young people After meeting each other, we can talk about marriage without any problems.

Of course, this kind of marriage is only limited to enlightened families. Blind marriage and dumb marriage are still the main theme of this era.

An Ning blushed: "They are all family friends, who doesn't know any virtues, so why pick?"

After speaking, he gave Xue Baoer a sad look: "I've been waiting for you for a whole day, if you don't give me any news, I want to follow Wei Chi and go to Xue's house to rob people."

Xue Baoer: "..." Can't you learn something better?

"Quickly tell me, good news or bad news?" An Ning endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, waved away the maid who was following her, and asked impatiently.

It was the first time I found out that the hanging flower gate of her house was so far away from her yard, usually within a few steps, but today it seemed to be far away in the sky, and it seemed that she could never reach it.

Looking at the small courtyard with white walls and gray tiles not far away, Xue Baoer sighed in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have everyone here, so it can still be bad news. Could it be that they come to beg for beatings?"

"I knew you wouldn't let me down!" An Ning let out a long breath, and immediately smiled like a flower, and praised Xue Bao'er without hesitation.

Xue Baoer didn't hide it either, and told An Ning about Xue Mu and Xue Pan's decision, and finally asked hesitantly: "It's just that my brother offended the prince in a moment of confusion, I don't know how to apologize?"

An Ning waved his hand, and answered irrelevant questions: "He has difficulties, I understand, and I don't blame him. I really didn't expect that he could do this for me."

"Marriage is an important matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, you understand that you don't blame him, what about the prince and princess?" Xue Baoer didn't understand the meaning of An Ning's words, "You have to pass the test of your parents."

In ancient times, parents were the decision makers of their children's marriage, otherwise there would not be so many tragedies.

While talking, the two had already walked into the small courtyard where An Ning lived. An Ning let Xue Bao'er into the inner room. After a while, she lowered her voice and said, "If your brother decides to go to the northwest to join the army, I want to go with him."

What does it mean to go with him?

Xue Baoer looked at An Ning suspiciously, and An Ning was also looking at her with firm eyes.

Xue Bao'er instantly understood the meaning of An Ning's words, her eyes were so frightened that her eyes were straightened, and she quickly covered her mouth.

It took a long time to recover, and asked urgently, "You want to elope with my brother...?"

He didn't dare to make a sound for the last two words, but only made mouth shapes.

An Ning nodded unabashedly.

She doesn't know the truth that if you hire, you will be a wife, and if you run, you will be a concubine.

She also wanted to give Xue Pan more time, and wait for him to leave the merchants and make contributions, but there was no time.

It has been four days since the queen came to propose marriage, and the imperial decree of marriage may be issued at any time, otherwise the father, mother and concubine would not be in such a hurry to call everyone who can catch their eyes, and let her choose like carrots and cabbages. .

If the imperial decree is issued, she and Xue Pan may be gone at all.

For the current plan, there is only one way to go by elopement.

If the matter of elopement came from other women, there is a high probability that Xue Baoer would not take it seriously.

But An Ning was different.

An Ning used to be the female version of the guard, a dandy, who dared to do what she said and did what she said.

She can ride a horse, she has kung fu, and she is not afraid of being bullied when she runs out of the house.

Coincidentally, Xue Pan is also a dandy, a very rich dandy.

When they got together, elopement became a lot easier.

"No! No!" Xue Bao'er was so frightened that her voice trembled a little, "Wait, let me think about it, there must be other ways!"

Elopement may not be a big deal to a man, but adding an affair at most will do great harm to a girl.

She couldn't just watch An Ning be stupid!

An Ning smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's too late!"

"You, don't worry!" Xue Bao'er's mind turned quickly, and after denying the last thought in frustration, Wei Chi's handsome face appeared in his mind without warning.

She felt her heart beating uncontrollably, and then she calmed down miraculously.

That's right, how could she forget the other party who gave the marriage.

It was not the first time that the emperor gave Wei Chi a marriage.

Xue Baoer pulled An Ning and rushed out the door, An Ning was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

"Look for the guard!"

Xue Bao'er was grabbed by An Ning after only a few steps, "I can't find him!"

She pressed the whimsical little girl who was spoiled by Wei Chi on the chair in the inner room, and said with a serious face: "Wei Chi is now the prison country, one person is below ten thousand, and it is harder to see him than going to heaven. I heard that The greeting post has been scheduled for half a year later."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have forced her way into the eldest princess's mansion with a sword.

When did Wei Chi become a supervisor, would he still have time to come to her house to eat stewed bamboo shoots in chicken sauce?

Seeing that Xue Bao'er still looked ignorant, An Ning guessed that Wei Chi must have said nothing to Xue Bao'er: "The sage is seriously ill and ordered Wei Chi to supervise the country. Now is the time to test him. How many pairs of eyes are on the court and the public?" Staring at him, how could he be as disobedient as before?"

Even if Wei Chi loves Xue Baoer badly and tries to please her, at best, he just gives Xue Baoer a place to stay by his side.

It is impossible for him to really disobey the emperor and marry Xue Baoer, no matter who he marries, he must marry a real wife, so it is absolutely impossible for Wei Chi to stand up for the matter of bestowing a marriage.

When she was in the princess mansion, An Ning begged Xue Baoer to run for Xue Pan in front of Wei Chi, which was actually a temptation.

As expected, Wei Chi did not agree, and the two choices he gave were just perfunctory, just to deceive the children.

An Ning thought clearly that no man would be so stupid as to give up the whole world for a woman.

All she can rely on is the sincerity of herself and Xue Pan to her.

When An Ning decided to put all his eggs in one basket, Xue Baoer was completely stupid.

The emperor was seriously ill, and Wei Chi supervised the country... In other words, Wei Chi was one step closer to the dragon chair.

And the closer Wei Chi is to the throne, the farther away he is from her.

She is not an ancient woman, and there is no way to share a husband with other women.

And that kind of life... in order to get a little favor from the king, I don't even want to think about the life of being trapped in the harem and fighting with a group of beautiful women every day.

She doesn't blame Wei Chi, she just hates herself for knowing this is the result, but she wants to bury her head in the sand like that ostrich, just muddle along.

Now An Ning has made it very clear that the emperor is testing Wei Chi and entrusting him with important tasks. During this critical period, it is impossible for Wei Chi to disobey the emperor and refuse to grant a marriage.

So there is no other way but to elope.

This time, it was An Ning who was unwilling to marry Wei Chi. King Zhongshun and his concubine were afraid that their daughter would suffer, so they had no intention of using An Ning's marriage as a bargaining chip in a political exchange.

What about next time, who will it be next time?

It's impossible that everyone doesn't want to.

Even if I don't want to, how about her parents, who can love their daughter as much as King Zhongshun and Princess Wang?

Wei Chi always wants to marry a wife, but this wife is not her turn no matter what.

At this moment, Xue Baoer is like an ostrich whose head has been forcibly pulled out from the sand. She has to face the reality, but she is at a loss.

At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the window, and someone said out of breath through the door: "Princess, the Xue family has come to take Mr. Huixiang back."

An Ning saw Xue Baoer's face was ugly, so she said, "Go and tell the Xue family that Mr. Chenghui is rarely here, so I kept her for lunch."

No one answered outside the door, and An Ning couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Why, why does the Xue family have something urgent that Chenghui Xiangjun must rush back?"

The person outside the door saw the question, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "The person who came said, that Lord Jian Guo will have dinner at Xue's house at noon, and asked Mr. Chenghui to accompany him by name."
