Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li and his party entered the palace, the palace guide leading the way was in front, and Jiang Li walked behind. Jiang Jingrui also noticed the eyes of those officials and wives looking at Jiang Li. He wanted to use this to tease Jiang Li, but when he turned his head and saw that Jiang Li's expression was calm and seemed not very happy, he shut up rationally and didn't dare to say anything more. Say something.

It's strange that he is not afraid of anyone in Jiang's family, but he always has a bit of fear when facing Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li always smiles, even if he laughs, he can tell when Jiang Li is smiling politely, when it is perfunctory, and when it is angry.

It's better not to provoke an angry girl, especially this girl is Jiang Li.

After staying in the palace, Jiang Li found that there were actually not many courtiers who came to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards today, at least not as many as the previous palace banquet. Taking a closer look, Jiang Li understood a little bit. There are not a few people in the court who are involved with Cheng Wang's right minister. This time, many people have been cleaned up. Among the important officials, it can be said that almost half of them are missing. Of course, this does not mean that Beiyan's court situation is in turmoil. Hong Xiaodi probably prepared for today a long time ago, and started to support the upstarts early. Now these ambitious veterans have made room for them. The newcomer makes way. These new ministers are absolutely loyal to Emperor Hong Xiao. After even Jiang Yuanbai and his group of veterans abdicated one after another, the situation in the court was completely different from before, and they were all Hong Xiaodi's people.

Looking at the people around him, Jiang Yuanbai wondered if he also thought of this, and his expression was a little strange.

Jiang Li thought that Liu Xu would be here today, but she looked around, but she didn't see Mrs. Liu. Thinking about coming to today's palace banquet, Mrs. Liu was not invited. It seemed that all the important ministers and upstarts came. With Cheng Delang's status, it was not his turn to come.

But in this way, Jiang Li has no acquaintances. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou did have two brothers, so they went to talk to them soon. Jiang Li stood in the corner of the hall, standing with Lu Shi, when suddenly, someone called her reputation: "Second Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Li turned her head and saw that it was Yin Zhiqing calling her behind her back.

Jiang Li hurriedly said: "Master Pingyang County."

Yin Zhiqing walked over and smiled happily: "I saw you when I just arrived, did you just arrive too?"

Jiang Li nodded, looking at Yin Zhiqing. Yin Zhiqing's attire today is really fresh. She was wearing a brocade dress with peacock patterns, a rose red long-tailed Luan skirt, red lips and bright teeth, and she was full of looks. Even if Jiang Li saw her, she couldn't help but praise in her heart, what a beautiful woman with a lotus face and jade face.

Yin Zhiqing's charm is astonishing, but her temperament is completely different and straightforward. She stretched out her hand to pull Jiangli, as if she looked very familiar, and she said: "My brother is over there, let's go, you and I will go say hello to him Bar."

Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu said with a smile: "Xiao Li, you can go, it just so happens that the prince of the county is here, you young girls, staying with me is meaningless."

Mrs. Jiang also nodded. Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, but she could only smile and said, "Okay."

Yin Zhili was standing outside the hall, talking to a young man. In fact, he has been living in the cloud before, and has no intersection with the people in Yanjing City. But the strange thing is that these officials' children in Yanjing City don't seem to hate him at all. There is no xenophobic meaning, and it even seems to have a good relationship with him. In Jiang Li's heart, there was another level of care about Yin Zhili. It was not easy to do this. Most of the officials in Yanjing thought highly of themselves and were unwilling to be with people who looked down on them. Even Jiang Li, who has been in Yanjing City for a year, has no good friends even though she is the lady of the Jiang family. This is of course because Jiang Li is unwilling to cater to them, but they themselves resist Jiang Li's integration into the circle of noble girls from the beginning.

Yin Zhiqing shouted: "Brother."

Yin Zhili happened to finish talking with the person in front of him, and was about to leave when he heard Yin Zhiqing's cry, and when he looked back, he was also taken aback when he saw Jiang Li, and then a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said warmly, "Second Miss Jiang."

"Young Master Yin." Jiang Li replied.

Yin Zhiqing blinked her eyes: "You talk first, I'll go and talk to my mother first." Before Yin Zhili could finish speaking, she ran away. Only Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were left standing together.

Yin Zhili was a little helpless: "Sorry, sister..."

"The county lord is innocent and cute, Mr. Yin doesn't mind." Jiang Li smiled.

Hearing this, Yin Zhili relaxed, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang is still so understanding."

The two of them standing together naturally attracted the attention of many people. The man was dressed in white, warm, handsome and warm. The young girl in Tsing Yi is smart, charming and well-behaved, she is a very suitable couple. Yin Zhili's appearance and family background are all outstanding, so naturally many girls are favored by them. Seeing this scene, the hearts of those who are interested will be chilled. If the Yin family and the Jiang family get married, no one else will have anything to do. Judging from the current appearance, Yin Zhili and Jiang Li seem to be very familiar with each other. Could it be that they have already had this clue?

Jiang Li felt many scrutinizing and suspicious eyes falling on her, and she couldn't help laughing, but she wasn't nervous at all. It fell into Yin Zhili's eyes, but Jiang Li didn't dislike being with him. He looked at Jiang Li and wondered, "Why didn't Miss Jiang give you a fan with love?"

"Fan?" Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the fan that Ji Heng had confiscated. Ji Heng said, "Try to accept gifts from other men."

He just took the fan away, and he hasn't returned it until now, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Li was amused in her heart, and there was a smile on her face unconsciously. Seeing her like this, Yin Zhili asked softly, "Miss Jiang?"

Only then did Jiang Li come back to her senses, and said: "That fan... the summer is coming to an end, I see that the sky is getting cold, so I put the fan away."

Yin Zhili was stunned.

Jiang Li wanted to make some more nonsense, but suddenly, a voice came from behind. The voice was lazy, with a little smile, and he spoke unhurriedly.

"I'm always afraid that the autumn festival will come, and the cool wind will take away the heat. I abandon the donation in the box. The kindness is the best." He smiled and asked meaningfully: "Who is Miss Jiang comparing to an abandoned wife?"

Jiang Li looked back, and saw Ji Heng walking over for some reason.

He probably just arrived, and today he is also wearing a black peony robe with a red background. The gorgeous and deep pattern is worn on him, but it fits strangely. A man doesn't need to put on makeup, even so, standing here, he can compare with the daughters' families who are full of vying for splendor, and anyone in his narrow, affectionate amber eyes will become overshadowed.

He was standing behind Jiang Li, and Yin Zhili was standing in front of Jiang Li. Ji Heng was very tall, even a little taller than Yin Zhili. He just looked down at the two of them, stroking his fan with a smile. The fan was unfolded inch by inch, and the golden silk peonies on it were extremely coquettish and captivating. On the handle of the fan, a blood-colored butterfly fluttered about.

Yin Zhili was stunned for a moment, his eyes followed the fan, and suddenly, he felt that the fan he gave Jiang Li was really dull and depressing. His eyes turned from the fan to Jiang Li and Ji Heng.

The young man is flirtatious and flamboyant, and Jiang Li is elegant and refined. Standing together, there is no strange feeling. Standing here, they will make other people feel ashamed, and make people feel that no matter what, they can't get in between these two.

It just fits so well.

"Grandpa." Jiang Li nodded.

Hearing Jiang Li's words, Yin Zhili came back to his senses. He had heard the name of Su Guogong before. She also knew that Yin Zhiqing had been paying attention to him all the time. The last time she had a quick glance, she was not as amazing as this time when she saw him up close. He just wanted to salute Ji Heng, but Ji Heng didn't even look at him, and walked past him, maybe it was Yin Zhili's illusion, he felt that Ji Heng seemed to glance at him, his eyes were sarcasm and contempt.

Jiang Li was a little embarrassed suddenly, and secretly scolded Ji Heng in her heart, why did Yin Zhili make a fool of herself in front of her, how could she get off the stage like this.

Yin Zhili was very good-tempered. After Ji Heng left, he smiled and said, "I saw Duke Su today, and I really deserve my reputation."

Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili carefully, and found that Yin Zhili really didn't show any resentment, as if he was sincerely praising him. Whether it's pretend or real, he can do this, at least it won't embarrass people.

Yin Zhili laughed again and said: "What Miss Jiang said just now is that autumn is coming, and the fan is not needed, so it's best to put it away." He said this, but he was thinking of Ji Heng's poem in his heart. The meaning of the poem is that the fan is discarded in autumn, just like a discarded woman. Could it be that Ji Heng's words were a reminder that when Miss Jiang Er mentioned the autumn fan, did she have other meanings?

His smile was a little absent-minded.

Jiang Li didn't want to talk more with Yin Zhili, and Yin Zhili was a little distracted, so she took the opportunity to find an excuse to go back to Lu's side. After that, Jiang Li followed Lu Shi every step of the way. She really didn't want to deal with the Yin family sisters, so she pretended not to know anything about Lu Shi's hints to her.

Not long after, the emperor and Yin Zhan arrived.

Today, the palace banquet is held to celebrate Yin Zhan's military exploits, and naturally Yin Zhan is the main one. Jiang Li also saw Yin Zhan for the first time. Yin Zhan was different from what she had imagined. She thought that Yin Zhan would look like a rough man like Ye Mingyu, but she didn't expect that Yin Zhan was very handsome, handsome and wild. Nowadays, I am afraid that he is also the sweetheart of many women. In comparison, Yin Zhili is not at all like Yin Zhan. Yin Zhan's outline and facial features are very deep, very similar to Yin Zhiqing, but Yin Zhili is as gentle as an ink landscape painting, soft and messy.

Ji Heng was sitting in a corner of the hall, in the light and darkness of the optical fiber, Jiang Li was too far away from him, and he couldn't tell what Ji Heng's expression was. Therefore, he didn't know if Ji Heng looked at Yin Zhan, and what kind of eyes were in his eyes.

The palace banquet began soon.

Jiang Li lowered her head and ate slowly. So far, Emperor Hong Xiao hasn't mentioned the reward, and Yin Zhan naturally didn't propose marriage either. The queen mother and empress are also there. The Empress Dowager who never came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning very often, seemed very happy today, talking to the Empress. Concubine Li, who was once honored and favored for a while, has now become a piece of loess, and the courtiers are ready to move, trying to calculate which daughter is the best to enter the palace. Emperor Hong Xiao's position is now stable, there is no king, no worries, and he is young. If any daughter's family falls into the eyes of Emperor Hong Xiao, he will naturally lead the family to prosperity.

Therefore, tonight, many young female relatives tried their best to dress up as beautiful as angels.

However, Jiang Li didn't think so in her heart. From what happened to Concubine Li, it could be seen that this emperor might not be an emperor who was obsessed with women. It's not that easy to be the second Concubine Li. Among all the fragrances in the venue, Yin Zhiqing was particularly conspicuous. She was born with a natural beauty, and she was dressed up so well that it was difficult for people not to notice. Others probably thought that she also wanted to enter the palace, but Jiang Li knew that However, the purpose of Yin Zhiqing is clearly Ji Heng.

Just look at the red they wore together today.

The princess of Pingyang county also took great pains this time, but unfortunately, she didn't know that Ji Heng and the Yin family had a deep hatred, and they were destined to die, and Yin Zhiqing's thoughts were also destined to lead to bitter fruit.

After drinking for three rounds, while the ears were warm, Hong Xiaodi talked about Yin Zhan's contribution to defeating King Cheng's rebels this time. He said: "The king of Xia Jun has made great achievements in defeating King Cheng. He should be rewarded, and he should be rewarded heavily." !"

Yin Zhan stood up from the banquet, and everyone was staring at him. He lifted the corner of his robe, knelt down in front of Hong Xiaodi, and said: "It is the job of a humble official to bring down the rebel army. I dare not Credit is due to His Majesty's correct order. I have something to ask for, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my request for the sake of leading troops to suppress the rebellion."

"Oh? What request does King Xia have, but it's okay to say." The young emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and even looked at his courtiers with a smile, very lenient.

"I have one son, now I have three in twenty," Yin Zhan said, "The dog loves the second daughter of the first assistant Jiang family, and I risk my life to beg your majesty to marry the dog and the second daughter of the Jiang family. I am very grateful."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall became quiet, so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Yin Zhan kept his kneeling posture, Yin Zhili was stunned at first, then he also stood up and knelt down on the ground. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't answer for a moment, but just stared at Yin Zhan, wondering what he was thinking.

The female relatives looked at Jiang Li with half envy and half jealousy. The Yin family was willing to use their military exploits in exchange for a marriage gift, which showed that they valued Jiang Li very much. The male relatives were jealous of Yin Zhili. If Yin Zhan said so, Emperor Hong Xiao would definitely agree, and Second Miss Jiang would probably become the eldest wife of the Yin family in the future.

Jiang Yuanbai gradually clenched his hands in his sleeves, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead. Not because of anything else, but because Emperor Hong Xiao didn't agree.

Why didn't Hong Xiaodi agree? It's just a marriage gift.

Jiang Yuanbai suddenly thought of what Jiang Li had said to him before, that the court in Yanjing was still unstable, and getting too close to the Yin family too early was not a good thing, beware of causing trouble to the upper body. At that time, he only felt that Jiang Li was a bit alarmist. After all, Yin Zhan made such a great contribution, and did not do anything out of the ordinary. He has been very peaceful in the cloud for so many years. Emperor Hong Xiao seems to trust him, otherwise he would not When King Cheng raised an incident, he asked Yin Zhan to come back to relieve the trouble.

But what does it mean now? Could it be that the emperor didn't completely trust Yin Zhan?

Time passed slowly, Hong Xiaodi just looked at the Yin family father and son who were kneeling on the ground and pondered, gradually, the courtiers also felt that something was wrong, they didn't dare to vent their anger, and watched the scene in front of them quietly.

The father and son of the Yin family didn't move at all, Yin Zhiqing gradually blushed, she didn't know what was going on. She thought that everything would go smoothly, but no matter how it looked, it didn't go so smoothly. Under the table, Mrs. Yin held Yin Zhiqing's hand, and Yin Zhiqing got better now.

Seeing that Emperor Hong Xiao refused to speak for a long time, the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks this marriage is not bad. The two children seem to be a good match. The second lady of the Jiang family is a good one. This is the eldest son of the Yin family. , the Ai family looked at it, and it is also very outstanding."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, someone suddenly laughed. Because no one spoke in the silent hall, this mocking smile floated into everyone's ears clearly.

Yin Zhiqing was taken aback. At this time, someone dared to speak like that. Isn't it against the Queen Mother? She followed the sound and saw the red-clothed figure that she had seen twice, each time it was breathtaking, in the corner, in the light, slowly revealing its full form.

With one hand propped behind his head and the other holding the jug, Ji Heng poured the wine on his own, with a lazy expression and casual movements. In his long, astonished or suspicious eyes, he assumed a posture that had nothing to do with him, But it is particularly moving. As if he felt the eyes of everyone, he turned his head and saw a pair of smiling phoenix eyes almost drowning, he said slowly: "Hehe, Duke Xia, I'm afraid you are one step too late."

Yin Zhan also looked at Ji Heng, and a bad premonition suddenly floated in Yin Zhili's heart. The next moment, he heard Hong Xiaodi laugh loudly on his head, Hong Xiaodi said: "That's right, Ai Qing, you are one step too late this time. Before you, someone has already begged on my head. Even the imperial decree has been drawn up, to marry Su Guogong and Miss Jiang Er. Su Gonggong."

Eunuch Su hurriedly stepped forward, took out the imperial decree from the eunuch's hand and unfolded it, and sang in a long voice: "By God, the emperor said, Ji Heng, Duke of Su, is filial and filial, with both civil and military skills. Jiang Li, the second daughter of the first assistant Jiang family, is sixteen years old, dignified in appearance, beautiful and intelligent, so I have decreed that she will be the wife of Su Guogong, and she will be married on a certain date. I respect you!"

The gift of marriage was really surprising, and everyone couldn't turn the corner. It was clearly the king of Xiajun who begged the emperor to marry Miss Jiang Er and the prince's son, but in the end he gave the marriage to Miss Jiang Er and Su Guogong. Lord Su?

The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, Yin Zhan lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, Yin Zhili's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone. Not only did the emperor not marry him and Jiang Li, he also married Jiang Li and Su Guogong, no doubt he slapped their father and son hard in the face, making them lose their embarrassment.

"Master Jiang," Eunuch Su reminded, "accept the order!"

Jiang Yuanbai was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, stood up and hurriedly got up to receive the order, because he was too flustered and astonished, he almost tripped, but Jiang Li was calm and composed, and Ji Heng also came over and lifted his robe corner, said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling this."

Emperor Hong Xiao looked at Ji Heng, and seemed to be very satisfied with his gift of marriage. However, it seems that Ji Heng is the only one who is happy, and Jiang Li will not show it. For the others, it is more surprising than surprising.

Emperor Hong Xiao looked at Yin Zhan again, and said with a generous smile: "Prince Xia, it's not that I don't want to agree to you this time, it's because you came a step late. I see that your son is indeed an outstanding talent. How about you say, if you fall in love with a daughter from another family, as long as she is unmarried and has no marriage contract, I will marry you right now."

All the daughters' families in the audience suddenly became excited again, and they all looked at Yin Zhan expectantly. Married to the Yin family, he is the son of the prince of the county, and he will always become the concubine of the county prince in the future. In addition, Yin Zhili is indeed handsome and gentle, which makes people yearn for.

Yin Zhan raised his head, half lost and half relieved, and said: "That's not necessary. This time, Miss Jiang has no relationship with the dog, so I can't blame others." He turned to Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Li again, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master Jiang, Second Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Yuanbai forced a smile, he only knew one thing, Hong Xiaodi was afraid that his attitude towards King Xia was not as simple as trust. Today's gift of marriage, the undercurrent behind it surged, making him break out in cold sweat. He vaguely felt that he had made a wrong choice in agreeing to the Yin family's marriage before, but now that it has implicated the Jiang family, Emperor Hong Xiao may have doubts about the Jiang family.

Jiang Li smiled generously at Yin Zhan. Seeing that Jiang Li was not shy, Yin Zhan narrowed his eyes, turned his eyes around Jiang Li and Ji Heng, and then retracted them.

This gift of marriage was caught off guard. Next, Emperor Hong Xiao still rewarded Yin Zhan with a lot of gold, silver and jewels. Because Yin Zhili's proposal of marriage failed, he had to make some compensation. When they returned to the banquet, the center of discussion had already changed, Jiang Li, Ji Heng and Yin Zhili became the topic of discussion.

Ji Heng returned to the corner where he was sitting, facing the gazes from all directions, but he didn't care, and continued to pour the wine slowly and drink it by himself. Of course, those who watched Ji Heng also knew his moody temperament, so they didn't dare to look at him blatantly, but watched secretly and cautiously.

In comparison, looking at Jiang Li and Yin Zhili's eyes was a little unscrupulous.

When Jiang Li returned to the banquet, the rest of the Jiang family looked inexplicable, especially Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai, their faces were very ugly. Jiang Jingrui, Jiang Jingyou, and Lu Shi didn't know the hidden story, they just felt that the person who gave the marriage suddenly became Ji Heng. Compared with Yin Zhili, Ji Heng is moody, so of course he is even more difficult to get along with. Not to mention becoming the aunt of the Jiang family, even on weekdays, you have to hide far away.

Yin Zhiqing sat beside Yin Zhili, her face was pale, crumbling, almost crying. She originally thought that today was a happy event, Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were a firm fact, her brother was good in everything, Jiang Li and Yin Zhili got along well, and the Jiang family also liked Yin Zhili, there was no reason why this marriage would not work. However, it really didn't work.

Not only that, but the person who gave Jiang Li the marriage became Su Guogong Ji Heng.

Yin Zhiqing was a little dazed, she had only met Ji Heng twice, but every time, Yin Zhiqing left a stunning impression. Outsiders' evaluation of Su Guogong was cruel, but she felt that Ji Heng was more mysterious like this. Even though she didn't know anything about love affairs, she knew that Ji Heng was the first man who attracted her for so many years. She thought that there was no rush, she could slowly get to know Ji Heng, be friends with Ji Heng, and understand him to accompany him, but suddenly, unexpectedly, Ji Heng had his wife.

Yin Zhiqing just felt that God was playing a joke on her.

Mrs. Yin looked at her worriedly, but there was nothing she could do. She had nothing to say in the Yin family, let alone change the emperor's imperial decree.

Yin Zhili, who was sitting next to Yin Zhan, was smiling and didn't seem to care about the matter just now, but if you look carefully at the movement of raising his glass, you can see that he is absent-minded.

Not only Yin Zhiqing, but even Yin Zhili himself thought that there would be no surprises in this marriage. The reality slapped him hard, Yin Zhili didn't feel embarrassed but something, he just felt... something strange.

Before the palace banquet started, the beautiful Su Guogong walked past him and read a poem slowly. Thinking about it now, it was full of determination and ridicule from the audience. Yin Zhili thought, he is indeed Jiang Li's autumn fan, and when autumn comes, it will have no effect, so it should be discarded.

Yin Zhili smiled self-deprecatingly, he has lived for more than 20 years, and there are countless girls who like him. He never thought that he would have a day when he couldn't love him. He knew that he might not have a deep love for Jiangli, but he did like it very much. At least before that, he didn't pay so much attention to other girls.

That fan... Yin Zhili closed his eyes.

Jiheng's gorgeous peony folding fan, which he gave to Jiang Li, is a white jade folding fan depicting pear blossoms. He didn't know what Ji Heng and Jiang Li thought of the fan he gave him, but they must... felt that he was beyond his control.

Jiheng must have known about this marriage, so he would be the first to ask for the imperial decree before his father, so does Jiang Li know?

Yin Zhili involuntarily turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Li through the crowd.

The girl sat on the mat with a straight back and a delicate and beautiful silhouette. There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, no different from the smile she had faced Yin Zhili countless times. But Yin Zhili could clearly tell that her smile was a little more relaxed.

As expected, she knew, Yin Zhili's heart sank.

At this moment, Yin Zhan's voice sounded beside his ears, the voice was so soft that only Yin Zhili could hear it.

"Do what you have to do, now, and don't get distracted."

Yin Zhili was shocked, and put on his gentle smile again.

In the high position, Emperor Hong Xiao looked at everything in front of him, and seemed to be very interested, with a faint smile. The queen sat on the side politely, not saying anything, she has always been so gentle and obedient, just like the queen mother when she was young.

Queen Mother... The Queen Mother's armor lightly brushed across the chair, making a slight noise, but she didn't notice it, her eyes swept over Yin Zhili and Yin Zhan very quickly, and then disappeared.

No one saw it.
