daughter in power

Chapter 128

"You'll be gone in a while, just stay with the beauty and don't go far."

After Gong'e said a word, Qiqi blinked and nodded in agreement.

King Xiaoyang's eyes flashed, and he didn't say much.

Qiqi in the front went with King Xiaoyang, and the people behind naturally kept up with them.

Because she hadn't arrived yet, Gong'e talked about the things that need to be paid attention to in the spring return meeting, and Qiqi listened to them one by one, and she was more grateful to the Sumerians.

Just like this, it is not far to go to the shore of Liuzhu Lake.

Walking along the lakeside, there are willows and willows, the vegetation is luxuriant, and it is a scene of late spring.

The Zhaixing Building is in sight, and on the open space in front of the building, there are a few cranes walking leisurely and conspicuously.

A few school-age girls were feeding with food, and silver bell-like laughter came, like wonderful water waves, rippling round and round.

The unmarried man who was walking towards Zhaixing Tower was immediately attracted by it.

Everyone's face flushed with excitement.

Qiqi curled her lips into a smile, looked up, and saw Su Meiren waving at her in the open space in front of the building.

She paused, and King Xiaoyang said: "Go, I have something to say with my eleventh brother."

She turned her head, he smiled slightly, and walked away.

In the distance, a young man aged [-] or [-] smiled and waved: "Brother Seven, come quickly, let me introduce you to a friend..."

The smile on that face was sincere and clear, warming people's hearts for no reason.

She made up her mind and walked towards the Sumerian.

When she got closer, Gong'e backed away respectfully, and the Sumerian waved: "Come on, let's talk upstairs. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss the little hot pot you made."

The tone of the words is intimate, gradually frivolous, without any shyness about Qiqi's previous identity.

It's nothing for Qiqi, the people next to her are already a little embarrassed and don't know how to answer.

Therefore, no one joined in their fun, she and the Sumerians went to the Star Picking Tower by themselves.

The staircase is circular, and the two climb up the stairs, which is unique and interesting.

Walking to the corridor on the second floor, the building has been newly decorated, and it really looks a little festive.

Because the concubine De who presided over the meeting hadn't arrived yet, everyone was quite idle.In the hall, there was no one on the main seat, and the rest of the guest seats were also scattered, only one or two people sat.

The Sumerian had no intention of entering the door, took her hand, turned around the corridor, and walked to the side facing the lake.

On the other side, a few young gentlemen are writing poems facing the wind, and the young ladies next door are peeking shyly, their faces are rosy, and their thoughts are beautiful.

Su Meiren smiled, seeming to avoid them unintentionally, and chose an empty space where no one was there, then stopped and said with a faint smile, "How is Miss Jiang these days?"

Qiqi approached, stood shoulder to shoulder with her in front of the railing, looked at the vast lake, and whispered: "It's okay."

The Sumerian turned his head: "Congratulations."

This is the second time to say congratulations to Qiqi, and there is unconcealed envy in her eyes: "This is for you."

She stretched out her hand, and there was a chi-long brocade box hidden in her sleeve.

Qiqi blinked her eyes, suddenly remembered the note from last time, and couldn't help being stunned.

Su Meiren smiled slightly: "After Qixi Festival, Miss Jiang is going to get married. Actually, there is no need to invite you today. I mentioned it to Empress Defei, so she specially invited you here. It can be considered...to relax for you."

Having said that, it is difficult for Qiqi to answer.

The kindness of Empress Defei and Su Meiren cannot but be appreciated.

"Thank you beauty."

Qiqi nodded with a smile, her eyes flickered, and she finally reached out to take the brocade box from Sumerian.

"Why are you being polite? Empress Defei... also likes you very much." Su Meiren added.

Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she looked at the Sumerian puzzledly.

Su Meiren smiled: "Concubine De is the concubine of the Eleventh Prince."

Qiqi didn't pay too much attention to these things in the palace when she was a maid in the palace.

To put it bluntly, she is a person who doesn't like to be lively.

As for those complicated interpersonal relationships, she was even more impatient to sort them out.

At that time, she only wanted to survive the years and leave the palace early.Have you ever thought about dealing with these people again?

Seeing her dumbfounded, Su Meiren shook her head slightly, turned her head to look at the lake, and said gently: "Concubine De has a kind heart. In this deep palace, she has never fought with anyone. She has only one daughter and one son under her knees, and the daughter is three. Princess, she has been married long ago, and her son is the eleventh prince who just turned 13 this year."

In this way, the eleventh prince is still young and cannot pose a threat to the prince.

Naturally, it cannot pose a threat to King Xiaoyang.

Qiqi turned her head, looked at Su Meiren's side face exuding maternal love, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

Su Meiren smiled gently, and pointed to the lake in the distance: "Miss Jiang, look over there."

Looking along her hand, Qiqi didn't see anything, it was just a lake of water waves.

But the Sumerians said: "The mist on the lake is vast, and the dark tide is raging below the lake. No matter whether it is the east or west coast, they are afraid of being submerged by the water. Everyone has to find a reliable big tree, take root and sprout, and cover the sky and sun, so as to keep the mud. Shore roots."

Across the waves, you can indeed see the shore of the lake in the distance.

When you see the shore of the lake, you can see the big trees covering the sky and the sun by the lake.

The roots of the big tree are thick and deep, and they are deeply embedded in the water. The water can only flow quietly from the roots, and has absolutely no ability to affect the foundations on the shore.

Qiqi turned her head, and there was no such scenery on the other side of the lake.

There are faint white sands on the grassland, which are washed away by water when the water is high, and covered with green grass when the water is small.

The boundary line of the lakeshore is dominated by water flow and green grass.

She blinked and lowered her head.

The Sumerians meant very clearly, they all wanted to use the big tree of King Xiaoyang to keep the mud bank.

Now, it is through her to show favor to King Xiaoyang.

She blinked and refused to speak.

"Beauty, Empress Defei invites you to come over, the meeting is about to begin." At the other end of the corridor, Gong'e came before she heard, and reported with a smile.

Su Meiren said coldly: "But I chatted with Ms. Jiang casually, let's go."

A few people went to the hall, and there was no one else in the corridor.

Qiqi clenched the brocade box tightly, covered her cuffs quietly, and entered the hall as if nothing had happened.

There are many people waiting in the hall, both men and women.

In twos and threes, people sat around behind the long benches, drinking and having fun, laughing wantonly.

Because it is a blind date meeting, there is not even a screen in the hall.Men and women look at each other, who is beautiful and who is ugly, you can tell at a glance.

Among them, there are even many people who have known and admired each other for a long time.

Participating in this blind date meeting is just a reasonable excuse.

Su Meiren walked to the main seat, and Qiqi noticed that Concubine De was looking at them with a smile.

After a slight pause, she let go of Sumerian's hand, refusing to follow.

Su Meiren turned her head and said softly, "Miss Jiang is participating for the first time, she has no experience, so follow me." She stretched out her hand and took Qiqi's hand back.

Qiqi struggled no longer, and followed the Sumerians to the main position.

However, she did not sit down on the main seat, but asked Gong'e to bring a brocade stool, bowed her head in thanks, and sat down next to the Sumerian.

In this way, she is a head lower than Su Meiren and Concubine De.

Raising his eyes, King Xiaoyang looked over, met her eyes, and smiled slightly.

Sure enough, he agreed with her approach.

At the beginning of the meeting, Concubine De said a few opening words, and asked the men and women present to guess the riddles.

It turned out that there were also checkpoints set up at the Spring Return Conference.

The first level is guessing riddles, the second level is pairing, and the third level is composing poems.

Only those who pass through three levels in a row can enter the last level, and complete one thing according to the request of the person presiding over the meeting.

Those who win the first place will get an opportunity, that is, the opportunity to freely choose their marriage.

Royal family members, courtiers, marriage has never been a small matter of love between children.

Everyone knows that who is the original partner does not depend on who you like, nor does it depend on who likes you.

It depends on who to marry with, which can better promote the prosperity of the family.Or, how many bargaining chips do you have, what kind of marriage you can get, and what kind of benefits you can seek for the family.

The Spring Return Conference was an exception given by Emperor Wuwei.

If you seize this opportunity, you can really realize the love between husband and wife, love between men and women, and harmony and beauty.

Family and power are no longer obstacles.

You just have to say who you love.

It is heard that the spring return conferences over the years have been very successful.

There was only one time in recent years, when an accident occurred at the Spring Return Conference, a lady from a certain family murdered others, causing the conference to end hastily.

Qiqi blinked, and silently listened to Su Meiren's introduction.

As soon as he turned his head, his eyes flicked over the male guest seats, and he couldn't help but flash.

Men are favored in this era.

A man seems to be considered single as long as he has never married his first wife.

Those noble ladies did not reject seeing this person.

King Xiaoyang was sitting on the seat, and the eleventh prince was sitting beside him, and the two brothers were talking with their heads bowed.With a smile on his face, he didn't pay attention to the female guest opposite.

They don't pay attention to the female guests, but many of the female guests are looking at them.

All of them have envious eyes, shy faces, and secret hearts.

Qiqi withdrew her gaze, unwilling to look any further.

The riddle guessing has already begun, and none of the young masters and ladies would admit defeat, one by one they solved the riddles.

Empress Defei smiled and asked the question, and the atmosphere gradually became active.

There was an uproar in the hall, and the smell of wine and flowers was mixed together.

Sumerian reached out and touched Qiqi lightly: "Why are you listless? Don't you like guessing riddles?"

Qiqi turned her head: "No. It's just a little... sleepy."

Su Meiren smiled: "You are going to be a concubine, so naturally you don't have any interest in watching this. Well, look at the Miss Zhou of the Ministry of Rituals' family, she seems to have a lot of heart for your prince."

Qiqi turned her head coldly, and sure enough, she saw a lady with a bright face, holding a riddle to ask King Xiaoyang for advice.

Obviously the male and female seats are far apart, and it is obvious that they have only reached the first level, but Miss Zhou couldn't wait and wanted to show her love first.

Qiqi straightened her back, trying to say something casually to perfunctory, but that Miss Zhou staggered two steps while holding her forehead, and fainted.

Just happened to pass out at King Xiaoyang's feet.

"Someone has fainted..." On the opposite side, at the ladies' table, a young lady screamed.

Successfully attracted everyone's attention to King Xiaoyang.

King Xiaoyang put down the wine bottle and raised his eyebrows.

Miss Zhou's soft body was right next to his feet, and those bulging protuberances seemed to still touch his toes.

With such a weird posture, as long as it is a man, he will probably reach out to support him.

Eleventh Prince was stunned: "Miss, are you alright?"

Miss Zhou was unconscious.

"Prince Xiaoyang, help her up quickly." On the opposite side, the screaming young lady was too nervous.

The Eleventh Prince was young, and was about to stretch out his hand, when Xiaoyang Wang said coldly: "I'm afraid this young lady got up early, and she will have breakfast in time in the future, so she is exhausted."

He turned his head and glanced at Concubine De: "Concubine De, why don't you send a maid to help this young lady to the side of the room and rest for a while?"

When he spoke, the Eleventh Prince stopped moving.

Concubine De nodded: "That's very good. After Miss Zhou rests for a while, let's continue to play around."

She waved her hand calmly, and said to Gong'e who was standing beside Su Meiren, "Go and help me."

Gong'e blushed all of a sudden, but she had no choice but to walk over while everyone was watching, and helped Miss Zhou out of the hall.

Qiqi looked at Miss Zhou's back, frowned and said nothing.

She didn't turn around until Miss Zhou and Gong'e disappeared outside the hall.

Su Meiren leaned slightly and said, "Miss Jiang, is it convenient now? My maid helped Miss Zhou to rest. Would you like to change clothes with me?"
