little fool's child bride

There is still one month left for the palace banquet.

The position of Jing Zhaoyin was reserved by Liu Ziming, so it has been vacant all the time, and all affairs are on the two Jing Zhao Shaoyin.But in the end he didn't dare to make the decision, so he handed over all the difficult decisions to the prince. Liu Ziming was so busy during this period that he never had time to find Xiao Xiao to listen to the guitar.

But after the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, things got better.Officials in ancient times had few holidays, and only the "annual leave" was longer in a year, which was a full month.After the officials sealed off on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the government offices in various places stopped working, and Liu Ziming could barely catch his breath.

But such leisure is not a few days.

The emperor can seal the treasure, but Liu Ziming, the crown prince, cannot. With the envoys from all over the world and the tributes from all over the place entering the palace, he, the crown prince, must take time to look at it besides his business.So the closer to the first day of the first lunar month, the busier Liu Ziming became. Xiao Xiao hadn't seen the prince since the 23rd.Of course, Xiao Xiao is also practicing guitar hard for the performance at the palace banquet. Even if he meets Liu Ziming, the two of them will just have a meal and talk about the fun of the reception.

"Come into the palace with me in the morning, and then you will stay in the Wenhua Palace first." Liu Ziming came back at the end of the twelfth lunar month, and told Xiao Xiao about the arrangements for the first day of the first lunar month, "I will call the little mirror to call you at night." , you can follow him to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Ziming would follow the emperor to the temple to burn incense and salute, and then received envoys from various countries in the Huangji Hall in the morning.In the afternoon, the emperor personally bestowed Baifu to all the ministers, and it was evening when the palace banquet began.Xiao Xiao has no fame now, so she doesn't have to follow the emperor from beginning to end like last time, so she nodded and agreed to Liu Ziming's arrangement, planning to go to Wenying Hall to wait.

The next day is the first day of the first month.Xiao Xiaoyin consciously got up, washed and dressed before it was time, and then got into the carriage prepared by Liu Ziming.This means that Qingyi Garden is relatively close to the imperial palace, otherwise, judging from the time when Minister Yinshi would have to wait at the Meridian Gate to go to court, Xiao Xiao would have gotten up too late.The sound of horseshoes rattling echoed continuously in the early morning before dawn, Xiao Xiaoha breathed out a breath of white air and patted his cheeks to drive away the drowsiness, then lifted the curtains of the carriage to let the cold air in to wake up his brain.

It didn't take long, though.The carriage was not allowed to enter, so Xiao Xiao got out of the carriage, then looked at the long queue curiously, thinking whether she should line up or not.But soon the guards driving Xiao Xiao led Xiao Xiao forward, passing the ministers waiting outside the Ye Gate, Xiao Xiao felt the joy of privilege for the first time, and walked directly into the palace from the West Side Gate.

It had been raining and snowing for days, but the palace was clean, and the glazed tiles, which were not covered by ice or snow at all, reflected a few stars.The high red palace walls separated a blue-black clear sky, Xiao Xiao didn't feel like being in a cage at all, but felt a bit yearning for it.But thinking of the few body searches just passed, it is not easy to get in and out of the palace, and it is okay to come here occasionally, but if Xiao Xiao is a permanent resident, she will definitely not be able to bear it, so this yearning exists for a moment, and is forgotten as the new scenery appears.

"So this is the Jinshui River..."

The Jinshui River at night is only pitch black, but Xiao Xiao can imagine the beautiful scenery during the day just by listening to the sound of the trickling water.The palace was tall and solemn, and even talking loudly felt that some ancient souls would be awakened, so all the maids and guards who came and went walked lightly.The non-stop flowing Jinshui River has become the only dynamic dynamic in this quiet scene. It looks like a golden dragon entrenched in the palace with broken gold in the sun.Looking at the Jinshui River at night, Xiao Xiao seemed to be able to see its teeth and claws in the daytime, and was momentarily made amused by her own imagination, but fortunately, she managed to control herself after seeing the court ladies who were not looking sideways.

Five maids came towards Xiao Xiao, the one in the lead first said "Lord Wang, Mr. Xiao is auspicious", and then gave a little blessing to the guards: "Your Highness said that slaves can bring Mr. Xiao into the Wenhua Palace, Mr. Wang Please help yourself."

The guards who brought Xiao Xiao in were naturally not ordinary people. As the guards of His Royal Highness, they were at least of the fourth rank, which was higher than some officials in the royal city.But when faced with the cold tone of the court lady, she didn't feel offended, Xiao Xiao watched him nod and left without hesitation, thinking that this court lady was probably the Wanqing mentioned by the prince.

Wanqing was a court lady who followed Liu Ziming since she was a child.

Most of the maids in the palace are drafted. Their fathers are humble, and they are sent to the palace with the idea that their daughters can hook up with the nobles in the palace.The same is true for Wanqing. When she was 13 years old, she was sent to the palace for a draft, and after successfully staying, she was assigned to Liu Ziming's side.At that time, she only felt unlucky, because she thought that one day she would be favored by the emperor, and then she would be able to be as precious as her mother; however, she was stumbling, and in the end she only fell by the side of this unfavored prince.

But no amount of resentment dissipated after discovering the blood of the palace ladies sprinkled everywhere in the palace.She was young and naive, and like her parents, she thought that if she entered the palace and won the favor of the emperor, she would be able to ascend to heaven in one step; but the fact is that the life of a court lady is nothing in the eyes of these arrogances, especially Empress Rong, who is not gentle and kind as rumored outside. His dear love may be "thrown into a well" to commit suicide later on.

The emperor only cared about the rights and wrongs of the harem because he only loved Empress Rong. After seeing too much the fate of the maids around her who wanted to fly up the branches and turn into phoenixes, Wanqing felt at ease and served her unfavorable master seriously.Therefore, after Liu Ziming became the prince, he did not replace her, and gave her many treasures, and even made her the only female official around him.

If there is no accident, she will be the side concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Everyone thinks so, even Wanqing herself thinks so.She was ready to devote herself after she started learning about sex at the age of 13.Now that Liu Ziming has become the prince, as long as she becomes the prince's first woman, at worst she can also become a noble concubine.If she can give birth to another son and a half, the side concubine will not be able to run away. After Liu Ziming becomes the emperor, she will be the noble concubine...

Wanqing, who thinks she can see through the future, is jealous and eager to lie on Liu Ziming's bed and wait for her favor.But she also knew that what His Highness the Crown Prince hates the most is taking the initiative, because in the Prince's view, this is restlessness.So Wanqing had no choice but to hold back the enthusiasm in her heart, and instead worked hard on diet and other aspects, trying to make her wife Liu Ziming take the initiative.

"It turns out that you are Mr. Xiao. You have really admired your name for a long time." Unlike other dull court ladies, Wan Qing looked Xiao Xiao up and down without any trace.

Wanqing has heard Xiao Xiao's name countless times from His Highness the Crown Prince. At first she thought it was admiration, but her heart was full of respect for this kind of person. Later, after carefully thinking about the tone of His Highness the Prince when he mentioned Xiao Xiao, , she felt that the relationship between the two was a bit abnormal.

It wasn't until one day that she went to give things to Concubine Lan Gui for the prince, and when she heard Concubine Lan scold her son like a shrew for violating the law of heaven, Wanqing became more sure of the guess in her heart that His Royal Highness probably fell in love with Xiao Xiao.As for whether Xiao Xiao likes His Highness?Wanqing didn't know, but she felt that no one could resist His Royal Highness's favor, so the favor and glory that originally belonged to her went to Xiao Xiao.

She gritted her teeth with hatred, but she had no choice but to watch the prince return to Qingyi Garden no matter how busy he was recently.Even she in the palace has heard about Xiao Xiao's fake death, and Wanqing firmly believes that Xiao Xiao is not dead, otherwise His Royal Highness would not be able to run to Qingyi Garden with a happy face.

I finally got to see it today, and sure enough...

"I heard from His Royal Highness that Mr. Wang is very talented and elegant. The servants didn't believe it at first. They just thought that an old man with a white beard should be described as a fairy." Wanqing complimented Xiao Xiao as she walked, "Now It was only when I saw it that I realized that Mr. Xiao was still a handsome young man."

Xiao Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "His Royal Highness is absurd."

"It's all sincere words, how can it be absurd praise?" Wanqing quickly judged that Xiao Xiao is probably a simple person, and then changed the subject and said: "I heard that the master is going to perform today?"

Most people don't know that Xiao Xiao will perform at the palace banquet.Wanqing should not know, because although she may be the side concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince, she is not.However, there were people who tried to curry favor, and His Royal Highness's personal court lady turned her head to report to Wanqing after hearing a few words, hoping that she would leak a little bit from her nails.After all, the prince's female official is not a false job, but is in charge of the prince's food, clothing, housing and transportation. It can be said that she holds the financial power in the Wenhua Palace in one hand.

"Well, Your Highness asked me to play the guitar again at the palace banquet." Seeing that Wanqing knew all about this, Xiao Xiao thought that this person was probably very valuable to the prince, so she couldn't help but smile a little more.

Wanqing blinked in surprise: "Guitar?"

At this time, the two had already walked outside the Wenhua Hall, and the four maids around Wanqing dispersed first, leaving only Wanqing leading Xiao Xiao into the hall.Looking up at the sky, Xiao Xiao found that there was still no light at all, so she couldn't help feeling sleepy.Stepping into the warm Wenhua Palace with many braziers lit, the orange palace lanterns revealed a hazy and soft candlelight, and the air was filled with a calming aroma, Xiao Xiao fell in love with just one glance.

"It's what's in the box I'm carrying," Xiao Xiao yawned blankly, covering her hands with her hand, then rubbed her eyes with drooping eyelids, explaining a little weakly, "If you want to If you watch it, I can take it out and perform a song for you first, anyway, I have to practice."

Wanqing quickly began to think in her mind, should she break the guitar when Xiao Xiao is not prepared?In this way, his performance will be ruined. Even if the crown prince strongly recommends it, this Xiao Xiao will not even try to be Jing Zhaoyin...
