The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 268 Has Your Eldest Brother Been Engaged?
Chapter 268 Has Your Eldest Brother Been Engaged?
The two walked to the bookshelf. The bookshelf seemed to occupy the entire wall, but upon closer inspection, there was still a gap of one person's width. The rhythmic percussion described on the silk.

After nine strikes, the four-square piece of wood that was knocked fell down, revealing a round hollow jade pendant placed in the space. There was no other carving on the jade pendant, only a red plum blossom in the center of the jade pendant. .

Xia Houxiang took out the jade pendant and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Rong Li blinked, why did he feel that this look was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it for a while.

Xia Houxiang put away the jade pendant, and exchanged a glance with Rongli, the two quickly restored the whole room to its original state, taking what should be taken away, and what should be put away.

After a while, the whole room was exactly the same as when I first came here.

The two returned the same way, along the way, every time they walked out of a secret room, the door that was opened before was slowly closed, as if no one had ever entered.

Finally, the two returned to the nine-hole maze again.

The ground of the cracked stone steps moved slowly, covering the previously opened cracks. The chess pieces on the stone table had been scattered on the ground before. Xia Houxiang and Rongli picked up the chess pieces and put them into the chess box. Now only An empty chessboard is on the stone table, which does not look awkward.

Rongli has already picked up the chess record and put it away. Without the chess record, this table is just a place to play chess in his spare time, which will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Xia Houxiang took Rongli back to the Hall of Wuying, and the two walked out of the hall as if nothing had happened, and left hand in hand.

Not long after the two left, a young eunuch came out from the bushes beside him. He was the eyeliner sent by the emperor, and he had been guarding outside the Hall of Martial Arts, waiting for Xia Houxiang and his wife to come out and report back.

The little eunuch left quickly, not knowing that Xia Houxiang and Rongli knew of him as soon as he appeared.

The two were not surprised by Xia Houzan's suspicion.

Kings have been suspicious since ancient times, not to mention that Xiahou Zan used disgraceful means to win the throne. If he didn't send someone to monitor, Xiahouxiang and Xiahouxiang would be surprised.

However, the whereabouts of the two people today are secretive. Although they are solving the mystery all the way, they are all distracted. If someone is following them, they will know immediately.

The two of them are quite confident in their kung fu, not to mention Rongli's hearing.

Therefore, the husband and wife are not afraid that Xia Houzan will send someone to investigate.

The carriage drove back to Zhanwang Mansion from the palace gate. As soon as the two of them entered the mansion, after the concierge saluted, he turned to respectfully bow to Rongli, "My lord, Princess Jinxuan is visiting and is waiting for you in the front hall." .”

Jinxuan is here?

Rongli was a little strange, Jinxuan had never looked for her alone on weekdays, did she come here this time for some urgent matter?

"Come with me or go back to the courtyard first?" Rong Li tilted his head and asked Xia Houxiang.

"You go." Xia Houxiang said quite understandingly, he is not interested in women other than Rongli, and he doesn't want to know what Jinxuan is doing this time, as long as he knows that Jinxuan is Rongli's friend, It's enough that it won't hurt her.

"Okay." Rongli nodded, and went to the front hall alone.

Entering the hall, Jinxuan was sitting at the bottom drinking tea. Seeing Rongli approaching, she raised her eyebrows and put down the teacup, "Why did you enter the palace today? The queen didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Entering the palace was on the first day after the wedding, today is the second day, tomorrow is the day when Rongli returns home, and she is not good to bother her when the family is reunited, so she came here in time for today.

Unexpectedly, I didn't know until I got to the door that the couple had entered the palace today.

She came all the time, so naturally she had no reason to go back, so she waited for someone to come back in the mansion.

As a result, after waiting for such a long time, it was almost noon.

"No, why did you remember this?" Rong Li avoided Jin Xuan's first question, there's no way to answer this matter, it's better to pretend you didn't hear it.

"You didn't have time to talk to you on your wedding day, so I came to see you today." Jin Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

That way, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be covering up something.

"I see." Rong Li nodded thoughtfully, this girl has something to do.

A servant came in and served tea, which gave Jinxuan a little more time to think about how to speak later.

The servant backed out, only Rongli and Jinxuan were left in the hall.

Rong Li picked up the teacup in a calm manner, skimmed off the froth on it carefully, the things Jinxuan wanted to say might not be easy to say, and she couldn't rush her, thinking for a while, what kind of things could make the tea go away? It's hard for a pungent woman like Jinxuan to be like this.

When we first met, Jinxuan's slightly domineering look is still vivid in my memory. No matter how you look at it, such a woman will not hesitate because of one thing.

"Cough," Jinxuan coughed uncomfortably, she glanced at Rongli, then took a deep breath and said, "Are you still used to living in the palace?"

After finishing speaking, Jinxuan wanted to slap herself. Is she going to say this?

Besides, this palace is not hers, it sounds like Rongli lives in her house, and she is the master who asks this question.

"Get used to it." Rong Li suppressed a smile and nodded, he was even more sure that Jin Xuan had something to do, and it was something serious, otherwise he wouldn't have said it like this.

Jinxuan spurned herself in her heart for a while, then took a sip from her teacup before saying, "Well, has your elder brother ever been engaged?"

'puff! Rongli spit out the tea she just drank from her mouth, she opened her eyes wide in horror and looked at Jinxuan, did this girl take a fancy to her elder brother?

When did this happen?
How could she not know!
Also, isn't this question a bit straightforward?
Rongli's mouth directly made Jinxuan blush, she glared at Rongli angrily, why did she react so strongly!
Jinxuan quickly took another sip from the teacup to hide her shyness.

Rong Li hurriedly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, she stared into her big bright eyes like two searchlights, "You want to protect my elder brother's matchmaker?"

'puff! 'Now it's time for Jinxuan to spray tea, who said she wants to protect the matchmaker? !

"Hahaha..." Rong Li smiled happily, she couldn't just let Jinxuan scare her, come here without indecent assault, now she thinks Jinxuan is pretty cute.

The previous contacts were all in the presence of Wen Wan, and the two of them didn't communicate much. It would be a lie to say that they are like good friends after getting along in the palace a few times.

Now this time, Rongli really treats Jinxuan as a friend, but this friend has become a sister-in-law, think about it...it seems pretty good.

What kind of luck is she?
I made two friends in ancient times, but in the end, both friends were going to marry into her family. Is this considered a benefit for her two brothers?

Rong Li laughed enough, looked at the embarrassed Jinxuan with his eyes bent, and said directly without beating around the bush, "My elder brother has always been non-human, if you like my elder brother, you must be prepared for a long-term battle."
