After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Qiao Nian and Prince Ming knew each other.

After all, Concubine De Gui and Mrs. Lin were in love with each other, so their children often played together since they were young. But after all, Prince Ming was a prince with a distinguished status, so they would always have scruples when playing with him.

Later, when several of them got older, King Ming had heavy schoolwork and could not leave the palace often, so he had less time to play with them.

So the relationship can't be considered very good, it can only be said to be acquaintance.

Qiao Nian met Prince Ming once after she joined the Clothes Bureau, but at that time she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and followed her mother on her knees to salute. Prince Ming probably didn't see her.

But now Prince Ming was sitting next to Concubine De Gui, and his plain brocade clothes made his temperament particularly elegant.

He was tall, even when he was sitting, he was a head taller than Concubine De.

Prince Ming looked like the emperor, with strong features, but his eyes were very similar to Concubine De Gui. He looked gentle and gentle to everyone, and sometimes showed a hint of mercy and mercy.

Just like this, when he looked at Qiao Nian, the pity in his eyes almost overflowed.

Qiao Nian didn't like this look, it would make her feel like the most pitiable person in the world.

But it's obviously not.

"Get up quickly." Concubine De Gui came forward and personally helped Qiao Nian up. "Your mother just sent a letter yesterday to tell me about this matter. It was too late. Otherwise, I would have held you in the past two days. Just talk for a while."

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and said nothing, looking like she was shy.

But in fact, she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Lin was also happy when she saw that Concubine De liked Qiao Nian so much. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Prince Ming who was standing aside. Seeing that his eyes were always staring at Qiao Nian, she felt even more happy and couldn't help but say, "His Royal Highness Prince Ming is really born." More and more extraordinary."

After hearing this, King Ming stood up and bowed to Mrs. Lin, "Auntie, I'm so complimentary."

The word "aunt" suddenly brought the relationship between several people closer.

Concubine De Gui and Mrs. Lin glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

But Qiao Nian couldn't understand that Concubine De Gui knew that she was not the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, not even a concubine.

And she had stayed in the Clothing Bureau for another three years, assuming the identity of a slave for nothing.

King Ming is so noble, what kind of noble daughter does he want?

How could Concubine De Gui be satisfied with her?

But Concubine De Gui had indeed deliberately arranged the match. She winked at Prince Ming and said, "Qi'er, take Nian Nian to the Royal Garden for a stroll."

This creates an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

Prince Ming respectfully agreed and made a gesture of invitation towards Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian returned the favor and followed King Ming away.

It's the kind of following one after the other.

She followed King Ming, keeping a very polite distance, so that King Ming had no chance to say a word to her along the way.

Until we entered the Royal Garden.

There are flowers blooming in the Royal Garden all year round, and the ones that bloom in winter are naturally plum blossoms.

King Ming walked to a red plum tree, stretched out his hand, broke off a branch and presented it to Qiao Nian, "I remember that you like red plum trees."

There are really very few people who can remember her preferences. Even though Qiao Nian no longer likes it, she still took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to be so polite and unfamiliar with me. You will be my princess in three months."

King Ming smiled lightly, but what he said shocked Qiao Nian.

Three months?

She stared at her eyes in surprise, so fast?

Seeing King Ming's smile getting thicker, he said, "Since you have been crowned king, you will naturally go back to the land. In three months, I will leave here for Jiancheng. You will also go with me."

Qiao Nian was stunned.

She knew that she entered the palace today to meet her future husband, but she never expected that they would get married just after they met?

Is this speed too fast?

Seeing Qiao Nian's stunned look, Prince Ming only found it funny and couldn't help but comforted him, "Don't worry, Jiancheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River. The scenery there is beautiful. Even in winter, it won't be as cold as in Beijing. Then you can The frostbite will not recur.”

Qiao Nian didn't expect that Prince Ming would notice the frostbite on her hands, so she subconsciously hid her hands in her sleeves.

King Ming just pretended not to see it and continued, "Jiangcheng is rich in silk. You will have endless new clothes to wear. Jiancheng's calligraphy is also excellent. I know that you can write well, and you will definitely like it." There.”

At this moment, Prince Ming seemed to Qiao Nian like a waiter in a jewelry shop, trying his best to sell something to her.

Such enthusiasm is hard to understand.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, but finally couldn't help but said, "I wonder if I can ask His Highness a question?"

Prince Ming nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Your Highness is so talented and noble. He has countless daughters of noble ministers in the court, and there are many who are more beautiful and talented than ordinary women. I don't know... why is it me?"

Listening to Qiao Nian's question, a trace of darkness flashed across Prince Ming's eyes.

But she saw him smiling warmly and responded, "Of course it's because of my aunt's suggestion, and I happen to choose a princess."

Qiao Nian's clear eyes looked at King Ming quietly.

Even though Mrs. Lin and Concubine De Gui had a deep friendship, it was related to the marriage of Prince Ming. How could Concubine De Gui only care about the sisterhood?

As she just said, what kind of status does Prince Ming have?

Even the direct daughter of the current prime minister, Prince Ming, could marry.

Why did they choose her with such a bizarre and embarrassing identity?

She was humiliated a few days ago!

With her identity, she should never be matched with such a noble King Ming.

King Ming lowered his eyes and sighed, "If I have to give a reason, it is that my mother likes you."

The words of King Ming made Qiao Nian stunned again.

But he raised his eyes and looked at her again, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes shining, "After you entered the palace to deliver clothes that day, my mother kept talking about you. The maid you told her about was transferred to serve her within an hour. To be honest, I have never seen my mother so concerned about anything."

Qiao Nian also saw the maid Liu Niang from a distance today. She was indeed cleaning the bedroom of Concubine De.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that Concubine would be so concerned, and he was quite grateful in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Prince Ming suddenly took another step closer to Qiao Nian.

He was tall, so she had to look up at him. Now his tall figure pressed down on her, forcing her to lower her head.

But she heard a gentle voice coming from above her head, "Besides, this prince has long been in love with you."

Qiao Nian was shocked and looked up at Prince Ming, and then fell into a pair of gentle eyes.

This distance is too close.

It was so close that people were confused for a while, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to do.

The next moment, a cold voice pierced through everything like a sharp blade.

"Your Highness, I have met His Majesty Prince Ming."

It was Xiao Heng!
