Lady Changning

Chapter 148 Using Xi Lin to Marry (2)

"Changning, I always thought you would help the second prince."

People who knew Xi Changning well thought that she would help the second prince win the crown prince, but now she chose the third prince whom she had never been close to.

"Brother, don't worry about me. If you think it through, I think you know what to do."

Xi Changning avoided Xi Lin's rhetorical question.

It just so happened that Xi Jian came with someone at this time. Although he looked not in a hurry, he walked in a hurry, obviously because he was afraid that Xi Lin would run away again.

"Tell Baoer, even if I have to take this step in the end, I will treat her sincerely."

Unexpectedly, Xi Lin is also a sentimental type. In fact, He Lianbao didn't want him to be difficult, otherwise he would not agree to this kind of compromise. They had to remind Xi Changning of Wu Yiniang, who fell in love with people who shouldn't be loved.

Thinking of this, Xi Changning laughed at herself, she is even less qualified to talk about others.

"Come out. Everyone's gone."

"Changning, I'm confused now. Are you helping him or hurting him?"

God knows.Those who are passionate will suffer the crime of passion.

It may be that the palace has always been immersed in a sad and tense atmosphere. The emperor also issued an imperial decree to choose a good and auspicious day for the marriage of Xi Lin and Princess Jing. Once the emperor's imperial decree was issued, this matter became a certainty. matter.

Xi Lin knew that he was powerless, so he accepted the imperial decree, heeded Xi Changning's suggestion, and found the third prince.The third prince's love will not waste a treasure with an identity like Xi Lin.

From the people of the prince to the people of the third prince, Xi Lin sometimes doesn't know what is driving him to change the future he originally planned.

The wedding between Xi Lin and Princess Jing was scheduled for one month later, and the imperial decree had just been issued, and Xi Lin hadn't had the cheek to let the third prince come forward to ask for Helian Bao for him, so the matter remained deadlocked.

What is even more unbelievable is that Xi Lin has never met Princess Jing. The Queen Mother and Xi Jian seem to think that it is safe to settle this matter. The relationship between the two can be cultivated slowly, and there is no rush.

"Xi Lin changed his mind and loyal to me, who gave you the idea?"

The third prince knew that Xi Lin used to belong to the prince, and had always been a united front with the prince, so someone must have pointed him out to stand on his side so frankly.

"To be honest with the Third Prince, it is Chang Ning."

Sure enough, it was her, just as he thought.Then according to Xi Lin, Xi Changning also intends to stand by his side, why didn't she help Huangfu Zimian?
"I thought she would help my second brother."

After hearing what the third prince said, Xi Lin was also puzzled. He also asked Xi Changning the same question, but she obviously didn't want to answer it.

Hearing that Princess Jing had entered the palace, Xi Lin didn't care at all, but He Lianbao cared very much, so he dragged Xi Changning to have a look.

It's not watching a play, and Princess Jing didn't just stand there to show you if she wanted to see it, so the two of them sat in the garden for half a stick of incense and didn't see a single person coming.

"Helian Bao, I'm about to freeze to death. If you don't go back, I won't accompany you. I'm crazy."

Xi Changning is afraid of the cold, so he wears more clothes than others, and he also wears a big ferret fur cape that Zimu brought back from the Western Regions, making others feel warm when they look at it.What's more, she was holding a hand warmer in her hand.

"Don't rush. Wait a little longer. If it's cold, I'll ask the maid to bring you another hand warmer."

He Lianbao's neck almost stretched out, but he didn't see the legendary princess appearing.

Xi Changning ignored her, she did not see crazy women these days, not bad for He Lianbao.

Xi Changning tightened his cloak, shrunk back inside, and saw a pair of big black and white eyes at a glance.

He Lianbao walked back and forth in front of her, shaking her eyes sorely, but fortunately she closed her eyes and was about to take a nap, wondering if she would freeze to death if she took a nap in this weather.

He Lianbao looked left and right, and so on, he saw someone appearing in front of him, and one of them was a familiar person.

"Changning, Chang...why did you fall asleep?"

He Lianbao couldn't control Xi Changning anymore, and ran over when he saw someone he knew well.

"See the second prince, this is..." He Lianbao asked intentionally, but he actually guessed a little bit in his heart.

"Bao'er, this is Princess Jing."

Although Huangfu Zimian took a look at He Lianbao, he immediately looked around over He Lianbao, as if there was no familiar figure.

"It turned out to be Princess Jing, the servant is being polite. My master is taking a nap here."

He Lianbao pushed all his curiosity on Xi Changning.After observing this Princess Jing, it was no different from the information she had inquired about, except that she looked a little weak, but she didn't feel bored by Helian Bao's recklessness, on the contrary, she laughed happily.

As for this appearance, He Lianbao didn't dare to say how beautiful she was, but felt that she was a rare beauty in the Central Plains, while the princess in front of her was a little inferior, she was quiet and pleasant, and her appearance was also above average, not considered the most beautiful.

"Nap?"

Huangfu Zimian frowned, interrupting Helianbao's scrutiny.

How can this weather be suitable for taking a nap outside? Xi Changning is already weak, so how dare he suffer from the cold?

"Yes, it's right there."

He Lianbao pointed to a ball of meat in the pavilion, he didn't look carefully and thought it was something huddled in the corner.

Huangfu Zimian walked towards the meat ball in the astonishment of Princess Jing, and then he quickly followed. Who on earth can make a person who has always walked slowly go so fast?
Seeing that Xi Changning was fast asleep, Huangfu Zimian couldn't help slowing down, and slowly moved to her side.

"Recently she has nothing to do, she has become lazy." Seeing Xi Changning's lazy look, He Lianbao explained.

"Bao'er, do you know that you will be slapped if you say bad things behind your master's back?"

Xi Changning woke up, but he was still too lazy to move.Looking at the three people in front of him, he was a little confused.

She knew both He Lianbao and Huangfu Zimian, so could the other be Princess Jing?

"Presumably this is Princess Jing."

Princess Jing looked at Huangfu Zimian suspiciously, she didn't know the girl in front of her, nor did she know her identity.

"Princess Jing, this is the Crown Princess."

Huangfu Zimian acted as an intermediary and made an introduction.

"Ya Jing sees the Crown Princess Concubine."

Princess Jing took a step forward and saluted modestly, as if she had no airs at all, Helian Bao must be relieved.

"He Lianbao, change the hand warmer when it's cold."

Seeing that He Lianbao's eyes almost see through him, fortunately, Princess Jing has a good temper, and if there is another princess with a violent temper, she will definitely be given the top spot.

He Lianbao looked like he hadn't seen enough, and left reluctantly.

"Sit down, both of you, both of you are family members."

She is Huangfu Zimian's sister-in-law, and Princess Jing is about to become his own sister-in-law, so she is not a family, it's just that there is something wrong with the atmosphere.

This Princess Jing was too quiet, she couldn't see the joy of getting married on her face at all, on the contrary, she kept following Huangfu Zimian with her occasional timid eyes, did they know each other?
"Don't take a nap outside in this weather in the future, you will catch a cold."

Huangfu Zimian unconsciously cared, and felt that she was talking too much after she finished speaking.

"It seems that the second prince and the princess have a very good relationship."

Princess Jing asked tentatively, keeping her eyes on Huangfu Zimian.

"The second prince has a good relationship with the prince. Now the prince is going first, just because he cares about me, a widow."

Not wanting to embarrass Huangfu Zimian, Xi Changning explained to him first, leaving the relationship between the two completely clean.

"On the contrary, it's Princess Jing, who seems to know the second prince."

Xi Changning couldn't help himself from asking one more question.

"It's an old acquaintance. I haven't seen it for a long time. I thought I would never see it again. Now that I meet, I'm getting married soon."

Princess Jing lowered her head in embarrassment, her tone was a little sour.

Looking at it like this, Xi Changning no matter how ignorant of the past, now understands who Princess Jing is so sad for. Unfortunately, this person is too incomprehensible.

"Since it's an old acquaintance, I must have something to say, and I've been out for a long time, so I'm leaving now."

Xi Changning got up and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, she stopped and looked back because of the gaze behind her.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they obviously have something to say, but the words don't come out of their mouths.

"Are the second prince and the princess familiar?"

Princess Jing looked at his eyes that he had been unwilling to look away, and she had many doubts in her heart.

"Maybe." I don't know if she recognizes this relationship, it seems to be familiar, but it seems to be alienated.

Princess Jing stopped talking, but looked at Huangfu Zimian who was always absent-minded. She actually had a lot to say to him.

What she didn't expect was that she would see him in the palace, and what she didn't expect was that his identity was so special.Back then, she was still a sick lady in bed, and he was still a little Taoist priest, because his master could cure all kinds of diseases, he was invited into the mansion by his father. The treatment lasted for half a year, and he was the one who delivered medicine and talked every day.

At that time, she secretly promised that when she recovered from her illness, she would have the courage to speak to him who was still a young man, but who knew that he and his master left without saying a word.

No one would think of this identity when they meet again. Originally, she wanted to just follow her father's wishes and marry the young master of the Xiangfu, but when she saw him again, her heart that had been silent woke up again.

"Princess Jing, it's better not to sit here when it's so cold, you should go back to the queen mother because you're not feeling well."

Princess Jingjing's clothes were not too thick, and she was worried about her body, so she proposed to leave, because she didn't want to sit like this all the time without talking.

"Zi Mian, no, Second Prince, do you still remember that I am not in good health?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Princess Jing's eyes. She thought he had forgotten everything with her, but she was overjoyed when he suddenly mentioned it, and she even called her name wrong.

"Of course I remember, if you are not used to calling this name, then call it Zimian. Didn't you also call it that way?"

"Originally, I was a Taoist, so I didn't care about these taboos."

Princess Jianjing wasn't used to it, and he wasn't used to these false names at first, so he didn't want to explain too much in the palace.

Princess Jing nodded happily and said yes, and then she didn't know if she should let go of her courage, and she started talking more, starting from the memory of a few years ago, talking endlessly.

At first, Huangfu Zimian was also listening carefully, but then he unconsciously thought of the innocent sleeping face that he saw Xi Changning just now, and couldn't get rid of it in his mind.

"Zi Mian, will you suddenly disappear this time too?"

"It shouldn't be long."

After listening to the answer, Princess Jing's expression immediately dimmed.
