After Na Cai, they asked about the horoscope for the name and birthday. Zheng Xiao was still sighing when he reluctantly handed over Qiao Ruoyi's horoscope.

Even Zheng Xiao couldn't talk about this marriage. It would be somewhat embarrassing for a man three years younger than her to call her mother-in-law in the future.

Then after the eight characters and other things are agreed, it is time to ask for a date.

Seeing that the arranged marriage was at the end of June, Zheng Xiao said to the old lady Jingwuhou who came to the door: "Old lady, isn't the wedding date too early?"

The old lady Jingwuhou smiled and said: "It's not too early, after all, next year the son will marry a wife, so if Yi enters the door earlier, he can also fully prepare for the marriage of the son."

Zheng Xiao was so angry that her hands were shaking, if it wasn't for Qiao Ruoyi's words that she loved Jing Wuhou for a long time, she really wanted to turn her face and drive the old lady out.

Madam Jingwuhou smiled again and said: "My grandson is marrying the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, and it is not easy to change the marriage. Getting married in winter is always bad..."

Zheng Xiao was so angry that his heart ached. None of the eldest daughters of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion could match Ruoyi in terms of appearance, bearing and family background, yet they used the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to suppress her!

"The empress has always loved this younger sister Ruoyi. I have to go to the palace to discuss with the empress before we can decide on the wedding date."

Madam Jingwuhou was not afraid of Zheng Xiao either, and said, "Tomorrow is the empress's birthday, why hasn't there been a decree in the palace to call Yipin's wife into the palace to celebrate her birthday?"

The implication is that Qiao Jinniang is in danger of protecting herself. Since the Wanshou Banquet, there have been many speculations outside the palace, although there is no news from the palace.

But after the longevity banquet that day, Empress Qiao never summoned Madam Gaoming once. Everyone speculated that she had lost her favor. Even tomorrow will be Empress Qiao's birthday banquet, and the married woman outside the palace has not yet been admitted to the palace tomorrow. He Shou's will.

Mrs. Jing Wuhou took a sip of her teacup and said, "Marriage is always ordered by the parents and the matchmaker's words. Why does Mrs. Hou go to the palace to bother the queen?"

Madam Jingwuhou put down the teacup and said, "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuan's family, her cousin is Hong Qifeng, daughter of the Hong family, who is now famous. I heard that she is quite appreciated by His Majesty, and she often goes in and out of the harem..."

Zheng Xiao clenched his hands tightly, how could he fail to understand the meaning of what Mrs. Sun said, that the queen was out of favor, that the cousin of the girl from Wu'anhou's family was going to enter the harem...

How could Zheng Xiao endure it any longer!

As for Ruoyi, even if she has a deep-rooted affection for Marquis Jingwu and has such a mother-in-law, when her stepson and daughter-in-law get started, how can she have a good life?

Qiao Ruoyi hates it if she wants to.

Zheng Xiaodao: "Old Madam Sun, this marriage is over now, the lintel of your Jingwuhou Mansion is too high, our Qiao Mansion can't reach it!"

"Mrs. Qiao, you all accepted the bride price from our Sun House..." Mrs. Jing Wuhou frowned.

Zheng Xiao sneered: "The Marquis of Anyuan will not be ignorant of those betrothal gifts. The old lady just takes the betrothal gifts away."

Madam Jingwuhou was a little anxious. When it comes to filling in her son's house, no one in Chang'an is more suitable than Qiao Ruoyi.

Then he could only apologize and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qiao, our two marquis houses are all dignified people, and it's time to apply for an application. If the marriage fails, it will not be good for Ruoyi's reputation.

Besides, I really like this child Ruoyi. If your Qiao family thinks something is wrong during the wedding, I will go back and order someone to figure it out. "

Zheng Xiao picked up the tea in front of him and ignored Mrs. Jingwuhou. Mrs. Jingwuhou could only smile and said: "Then I'll go back to the mansion to change the date to calculate, and then come to ask for a date."

After Mrs. Jingwuhou left, Zheng Xiao ruthlessly put down the teacup.

...

On the fifth day of June, in the Huangzhuang of Beishan Racecourse, the summer is scorching, but it is swept away in the mountains and forests.

Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen ran around the racecourse, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time."

Jin Niang got off her horse and took Lu Chen's hand, "Can I come outside the palace every time I celebrate my birthday in the future? Don't worry about sticking to the rules in the palace. Even though it's my birthday, I still have to wear that thick and extremely hot dress." The phoenix robe is worshiped by those imperial wives..."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's fine if you're willing."

The Huangzhuang was not deserted. Qiao Lu, Qiao Ruoyi and Fulu came to the Huangzhuang in the early morning to celebrate Qiao Jinniang's birthday.

In the afternoon, the Eldest Princess Lin Mo and his wife, Rongjun Wang and his wife also arrived one after another.

The next day's birthday luncheon was very lively, there was no distinction between monarchs and ministers, and there were two people, King Rongjun and Fulu, and the atmosphere was very good.

Everyone offered birthday gifts one after another, and at this time someone came to announce that Xie Yun had arrived.

Lu Chen generously let Xie Yun in. He came to celebrate Qiao Jinniang's birthday, so there was no reason to drive him away. Besides, Lu Chen knew that Xie Yun had lost his mind for Qiao Jinniang long ago.

Qiao Jinniang has no affection for Xie Yun.

After Xie Yun came in, he presented a rare East China Sea night pearl, about an inch in size, full of pearls, and Qiao Jinniang knew it was a rare treasure in the world when she saw the night pearl.

Qiao Jinniang thanked her and said, "Thank you, Patriarch."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome." Xie Yun said.

Lu Chen ordered someone to add a seat to Xie Yun. Jinghua and Lin Mo, Rong Xiaojun Wang and Samer, Fu Lu and Qiao Lu, Yue Zhan and Qin Miaomiao were all married, but Qiao Ruoyi was alone. That is, there is an extra seat next to her seat.

The waiter felt that it would be troublesome to add tables and chairs, so he simply put a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Xie Yun on the empty seat beside Qiao Ruoyi.

Qiao Ruoyi was rather disgusted, and moved a little to the side...

Although it wasn't obvious, Xie Yun, who was sitting beside her, saw this movement clearly.

Rong Xiaojun Wang said: "Brother Huang, today is the birthday of the emperor's sister-in-law, why don't we play a new drinking order?"

Lu Chen asked, "What is the drinking order?"

King Rong Xiaojun said: "Today we have Tanhualang from the last imperial examination, two Jinshi from Enke this year, and Lin Youxiang who was born as the number one scholar. It would be a pity not to come to compete for some elegance."

Fu Lu repeatedly said: "No, no, General Yue and I don't understand these things."

Yue Zhan said from the side: "It's just that you don't understand, I just disdain these frivolous, feeble scholars who have no strength to restrain their chickens."

When he said that he had no power to restrain the chicken, Yue Zhan looked at Lin Mo meaningfully.

Fu Lu said: "Why don't we just play dice, roll the dice three times, and the person with the smallest sum will have to drink three glasses of wine."

Qiao Jinniang also followed suit: "Fu Lu's proposal is excellent, it's hard to relax for a while, don't let me write poems with all my heart, all talented men and women who want to write poems can go to other poetry fairs, just focus on it today. Just play."

Fu Lu took out the dice and said, "I'm pregnant and I can't drink alcohol. How about it? Why don't women roll dice at every table, and men drink alcohol?"

The women present were indifferent.

Both Fu Lu and Qin Miaomiao are veterans of casinos, so they are naturally good at playing dice. With so many faces in Princess Jinghua's house, they often play Shuanglu and they can also roll dice.

So after several times, neither of them lost.

Qiao Jinniang may be the lucky birthday star today, and she has never lost. After Samer lost one game, Qiao Ruoyi lost three games in a row.

Qiao Ruoyi finally opened the dice cup and frowned slightly when she saw three red dots inside.

Xie Yunlian had already drank nine glasses of spirits, and seeing Qiao Ruoyi lost again, he looked at Qiao Ruoyi sullenly and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"
