pet queen [rebirth]

After worshiping, Xiao Qian still had to deal with the guests in the front hall.

Although Emperor Xuan Cheng didn't show up this time, Li Youde came for a while and delivered a steady stream of rewards in front of everyone.

Prince Ning's mansion was extremely lively, Xiao Qian hadn't experienced such excitement for a long time.

He sat in the corner, neither being toasted nor picking up words from the gang of nobles, as if he was just a clay sculpture for appearance.

Xiao Qian was like this in his previous life. Because he was looked down upon in the palace, he was named Queen Ning and didn't like to talk to those snobbish officials.

Until his second brother Duan Wang found him and said that he wanted to ask Xiao Qian to help him achieve a career.

When Xiao Qian first entered the palace, he didn't know much Chinese, and his voice had a strange tone, which was used by the prince as a joke.

The prince was used to being domineering and domineering, Xiao Qian formed a relationship with him, and since he didn't think well of him, he agreed to King Duan's request.

The reason why he married Su Mingmo in his previous life was also because King Duan persuaded him with this reason, and Xiao Qian agreed to use this to prove that he would not betray him in this life, so he married Su Mingmo.

Thinking about it now, Xiao Yuanqi not only saved the Su family in his previous life, he was also a matchmaker between Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo.

Xiao Qian chuckled and drank the last sip of wine in the glass.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Qian stood up and walked towards the back room.

Thinking that Su Mingmo was still waiting for him, Xiao Qian couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The corridors of the palace are covered with red lanterns, and there are exquisite paper-cuts on the walls.

In the previous life, Xiao Qian and Emperor Xuancheng had a deadlock, and there were no wedding spectacles or rewards.Not to mention the guests, the invitations sent down were like a stone sinking into the sea, less than half of the princes who came to congratulate him that day, seeing Xiao Qian's bad face, they didn't want to make fun of themselves, they only stayed for a while and then left.

Today's festooned and festive atmosphere can be regarded as a ostentation that should have been in the previous life. Even when Sixian reported the list of gifts sent by Emperor Xuancheng and various officials in the front hall, Xiao Qian listened carefully .

It is a thank you to them one by one.

Before reaching the backyard, Xiao Qian heard the discussion of two strange women.

"This Su Mingmo is too shameless. It would be nice to ask King Ning earlier. Our family has been imprisoned in the prison for so long. After my father came back, he even caught a cold and lay on the hospital bed for several days. God, seeing that he doesn't even have the slightest remorse for this."

"Your second brother is really so ruthless?"

"Is there still a lie?" said the girl who spoke earlier, "Look at the ostentation of King Ning's mansion today, there are so many princes and ministers here, I guess that guy doesn't know how proud he is, he really doesn't want to marry King Ning so much, Si Mingzhi! Pretending to be like that."

Xiao Qian was silent for a while, and slowly walked around the pillar: "The one who spoke earlier must be the third lady of the Su family, my aunt, right?"

The two girls did not expect Xiao Qian to appear, so they hurriedly turned their heads and bowed: "I have seen King Ning."

"My aunt doesn't need to be too polite," Xiao Qian said with a smile, "There are so many people in the palace tonight, there may be some poor hospitality, please forgive me."

Su Mingshan did not expect that the rumored King Ning would be so approachable.

There are two people here, but he only talks to himself, obviously giving her enough face.

The female family members who came to congratulate her were not allowed to go to the hall to watch the ceremony. Su Mingshan was arranged in a separate courtyard of the palace with the female family members of other officials, and just now she came out to breathe, and then bumped into Xiao Qian.

There is only one road leading to the front yard from the inner courtyard and other courtyards, so it is not uncommon for them to collide.

This was the first time Su Mingshan saw Xiao Qian, and she thought he was tall and handsome, several times more handsome than her elder brother.

Su Mingshan has not met many men in this life, his eldest brother counts as one, and Su Mingmo counts as one.

The Su family all have good genes, and the brothers and sisters are not bad in appearance.The eldest brother of the Su family, Su Mingchenyuan, joined the army under the Northern Xinjiang Zhenyuan Army, and has escaped the Su family's disaster since then. Even so, there are still an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage to Su Boyuan for Su Mingchen in the past two years.

As for Su Mingmo, Su Mingshan doesn't bother to compare him with his elder brother.

How could the son of a short-lived concubine be worthy of her elder brother.

Xiao Qian kept a few feet away from the two female family members all the time, and said with a smile: "Your sister probably doesn't know, if you want to show your will by death when the Holy Majesty bestows a marriage, it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans."

Su Mingshan's expression changed suddenly.

Remembering that what she said just now must have been heard by Xiao Qian, she said dryly: "Then... when we were imprisoned, the Holy Majesty didn't count as a formal marriage..."

"That's not up to you. If the sage had intended it a long time ago, but you want your second brother to show his ambition by death, where will you put the face of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"..." Su Mingshan's face turned pale.

She gritted her teeth, and said without giving up: "Then since he is going to marry sooner or later, why didn't he send you a letter in prison, my lord, I believe you won't die without help?"

"If it were me in the past, I would really be able to," Xiao Qian smiled, thinking how the third sister of the Su family would ask such a stupid question, she and Su Mingmo are not in the same family at all, and then Putting on an indifferent expression, "Second Master Su is now the concubine of Prince Ning's mansion, Miss Su, I'm afraid you have forgotten that you have slandered Princess Ning in my mansion and made insulting remarks, do you know what crime you should have?"

Su Mingshan trembled all over.

Seeing Xiao Qian's face change, Miss Wang Gong, who was talking with Su Mingshan just now, also realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, forgive me."

Xiao Qian looked at her coldly, and then looked at Su Mingshan: "Miss Su San, do you know that in our Jin Dynasty, if you committed the following crimes of disrespect, what punishment would you receive?"

Su Mingshan shivered.

Xiao Qian smiled coldly: "If it is light, it will be exiled, and if it is serious, it will be decapitated. For the sake of you being my sister-in-law, this king can leave you with a whole body. Miss Su San, what do you think?"

Although he was smiling, the expression on his face was like Shura, as if he had just stepped out of hell. Su Mingshan shed tears and was speechless.

"My lord." Another voice sounded from the side, breaking the deadlock.

Xiao Qian looked back and found that Su Mingmo came out of the room at some point. He should have come out to breathe, without covering his head. He was wearing a red dress like Xiao Qian, and his peaceful face looked warm under the light. Like jade.

The stern expression on Xiao Qian's face had no time to restrain himself.

Su Mingmo approached, lowered his eyes and knelt down in front of Xiao Qian: "Sister She is young, she is ignorant and offended the prince, please forgive me!"

Xiao Qian was silent for a moment: "Zi Yu is worrying too much, I just made a joke with my sister-in-law." As he spoke, his expression became gentle, and he stretched out his hand to help Su Mingmo up, "Why did you come out? Isn't it cold with so little food?"

He twirled the cloth on Su Mingmo's arm and found that there was only a thin layer, so he hurriedly said, "Let's go into the room and talk about it."

After saying that, he wanted to take Su Mingmo away, but found that Su Mingmo was still looking back, as if he was worried about his sister.

Xiao Qian followed his line of sight and saw that the two were still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Get out of here."

Su Mingshan hurriedly saluted, stood up hurriedly with another woman, and ran away.

Back in the house, the bedroom in the main house was decorated by Hao Sheng, with red silk and satin, candles everywhere, and a bright red brocade quilt on the bed covered with peanuts and red dates.

Xiao Qian looked around and smiled slightly: "Director Li really has a heart."

Su Mingmo didn't know if Xiao Qian was still angry, he kept silent and dared not speak.

Xiao Qian saw the hijab he threw on the table beside him, and a scale, a jug of wine, and two wine glasses beside it.

He thought for a while and said, "It's my fault. Since Ziyu doesn't want to go through the bridal chamber process, just wait a moment."

After speaking, he turned and went out again.

Su Mingmo looked at Xiao Qian's back, and a moment of confusion flashed in his almond eyes.

After a while, Xiao Qian came in with a wooden basin filled with hot water.He put the water basin at Su Mingmo's feet, raised his head and said, "This is the wedding rule in the Western Regions. On the wedding night, the groom has to wash his wife's feet. Ziyu, sit down."

He just squatted on the ground, looking at Su Mingmo seriously.

Xiao Qian's facial features are more delicate under the bright candlelight, and Su Mingmo's reflection is contained in the black eyes.

He was actually looking up to himself.

Su Mingmo was stunned.

"My lord...it can't be done," Su Mingmo hurriedly knelt beside him and said, "I'll just do it myself."

Xiao Qian glanced at him quietly, and said: "But when my mother was alive, she told me many wedding customs in the Western Regions. I yearned for it since I was a child. Besides, I probably won't go back there in my life..."

There was a slightly sad expression on his face.

Su Mingmo thought that he had drunk some wine, and thought of his hometown and the deceased former concubine Qin, touched the scene with emotion, and couldn't help but let go: "Then... why don't you sit down, and Ming Mo will serve you."

Xiao Qian's heart moved, and he still said: "Why does Ziyu need to be born, you are the concubine of this king, you call me a prince to the outside world, and naturally this king will serve you internally."

Su Mingmo was taken aback.

He thought that he and King Ning only needed to maintain a superficial relationship between husband and wife.

After all, King Ning had gone on a hunger strike for three days in order to refuse the marriage. Although Emperor Xuancheng bestowed the marriage, if Su Mingmo were to change places, he would probably fight to the end.But under such circumstances, is Xiao Qian really willing to act as husband and wife with him?

Although Su Mingmo has read a lot of poetry and books, his belly is full of four books and five classics, and he reads very little of those idle books, let alone studying the affairs of husband and wife.

When dressing up and changing clothes in the morning, the aunt once sent a maid to send a booklet, saying that Su Mingmo should remember to read it before going out, so as not to get into Ning Wang's mansion, Ning Wang said that she has no way to teach.

Su Mingmo opened it and took a look, and found that it was all about what happened between the two men...

Although Su Mingmo only read one page and threw it away, the picture of turning that page was already printed in his mind.

Prince Ning is real...

Su Mingmo thought deeply, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Qian had already helped him sit down by the bed, and helped him take off a pair of shoes: "Zi Yu, don't be polite to me, it's getting late, and you're tired today too , why don't you rest early after washing in a while."

Su Mingmo's heart was a little cold, his mind was full of pictures in the booklet his aunt gave him, he thought to himself, could it be that this catastrophe can't be escaped tonight?
