The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law

On the fifth day of October, it was time.Still no sign of Lin Xiu.

In the Princess Mansion, Lan Er cautiously asked Xiao Shu'an who was sitting in front of the dressing table: "Princess, it's time. Do you want to start dressing up?"

Xiao Shu looked at himself in the bronze mirror quietly, without any waves in his eyes.This is a bride who is about to get married, but at this moment she doesn't know where her groom is.I don't even know if I'm dead or alive.

Lin Zhong went back to Taoxiang to wait for Lin Xiu.I don't know if Lin Xiu will wait until now.If not, has Lin Zhong already gone to Manrong to ask for someone?

"Let's begin." Xiao Shu'an said calmly.

"No!" Lan'er went forward with a few helpers to install Xiao Shu's bride's outfit and makeup.

Yanxing Palace.Xiao Jingong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, please stop. The old officials you turned around are dizzy." Prime Minister Chen Gu spent the night with the emperor in Yanxing Palace, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Uncle! Why are you not in a hurry at all!" Xiao Jingong was a little angry at Chen Gu, no matter what, this matter involved the face of the royal family, as a member of the royal family, how could he not worry at all!

"I didn't like betrotting the princess to such a person. I think it's good now. Why isn't His Majesty happy about the good news from Dongcheng? I don't think there is any need to worry about such a person. If you don't believe what you say, my lord On the wedding day, no one was seen, and Shu An was not able to get married, it was a blessing.

Although it was a joke for a while, it damaged the reputation.But after a while people also forget.nothing.If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Yun Jian to marry Shu An, so it won't be impossible for her to get married. "

"Uncle! You! How can you say such a thing? Shu An's wedding is coming soon, so it's fine if you don't help! You still say such sarcastic remarks! I'm not worried that Shu An will not be able to get married! I am worried about Lin Xiu's safety Worrying about Lin Xiu not being able to be used by my country of Zhou! You have also seen the harvest of Dongcheng! My Zhou army defeated the Zhao army! What a loss to the Congress!" Xiao Jingong was about to die of anger!

"Hmph, it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, opportunistically playing tricks. Without Yun Jian fighting on the front line, there would be no victory this time. Now His Majesty gives all the credit to a person who has never been on the battlefield. It's really amazing People are chilling." Chen Gu arrogantly responded to Xiao Jingong.

"Huh!" Xiao Jin respectfully flicked his sleeves, and said nothing more than half a sentence. "Since uncle is tired, let's go back to rest earlier."

"Farewell!" Chen Gu turned and left without waiting for Xiao Jingong's reply.Don't pay attention to the emperor at all.

"Your Majesty, Lin Tingwei is asking to see you outside the hall." Not long after Chen Gu left, the servant came to report.

"Lin Xiu? Hurry up and declare her into the palace!" Xiao Jingong's face suddenly glowed, and his sad expression spread out.He quickly sat on the throne and waited for Lin Xiu to come in.

"I'll go in and report to His Majesty first. I'll ask the servant to take you to the side hall to rest. I'll call you after I finish talking with the emperor, okay?" said Lin Xiu and Helian Muzhen who sent her back.

"Hmph! When the guests arrive, go to the side hall first, it's impolite!" Helian Muzhen refused.

"No, you have to give me some time to discuss with His Majesty. I have already brought you into the palace, you will not still suspect that my identity is false, will you? Your Majesty will definitely scold me when you are present. Your Majesty speaks." It's inconvenient." Lin Xiu was a little anxious, Helian Muzhen was unreasonable, she was a busy person today.If it wasn't for Helian Muzhen's urgent urging, she would have gone back to get married first.It's a pity that this person is like a debt collector, forcing himself to come to the palace first to sign the contract.

"You'd better not make me wait too long, if you don't come in half an hour, I will rush into the hall and kill you!" Helian Muzhen threatened!

"Kill, kill, kill! You know how to fight, kill and kill all day long! Can you leave after killing me?" Lin Xiu was speechless to Helian Muzhen.

"You don't need to worry about whether I can leave. If you fail to sign the contract, you will break your promise. If you kill you, you will complete the task my father entrusted to me. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"Huh!" Lin Xiu rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and said silently in her heart: Don't be angry, don't be angry!Xiao Shu'an is so angry that she will become a widow!I'm so angry that I can't travel back!Don't be angry!

"Lin Tingwei, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace!"

"Laifu bodyguard, this is Princess Helian Muzhen of the Hu Kingdom, can you take her to the side hall to rest for a while?" Lin Xiu asked Laifu politely.

Laifu was surprised in his heart, how could Lin Tingwei bring back the barbarians.Zhou Guo and Manrong have always been incompatible.But no matter how many questions he had in his heart, the quality of his servants for many years kept him calm and kept his mouth shut.

"This way please!" Laifu politely took Helian Muzhen to the side hall.

"Lin Xiu! You're finally back! Why didn't you go back to the concubine's mansion to prepare for the marriage, and came to Yanxing Palace first!" Xiao Jingong couldn't sit still when he saw Lin Xiu.A series of said a lot.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you. I can only go back to get married after I finish this matter." Lin Xiu didn't have time to salute, so she hurriedly said the important thing.

Princess Mansion, Rufeng came back from the outside.

"Princess, Mr. Lin is back." Rufeng is still used to calling Mr. Lin Xiu.

Xiao Shu'an, who was putting on makeup, suddenly turned her head, and a long black mark was drawn on her eyebrows.

"The villain is guilty!" The thrush maid bowed and knelt down to admit her mistake.On the day of the princess's wedding, it is unlucky and a serious crime to draw her eyebrows wrong!

Xiao Shu'an ignored it, "Is everything safe and sound?"

"It's safe. But..." Rufeng hesitated, Xiao Shu quietly waited for her to continue, "I heard from Laifu's guard that he brought back Princess Manrong. It should be that Helian Muzhen. "

Xiao Shu'an's face became darker with the naked eye.Originally, it was because the son-in-law could not find a bad face for the big wedding, but now it was because the son-in-law brought back a woman who was bad-faced, and this woman was a woman Xiao Shuan hated.

When he came back, he didn't prepare for the marriage first, but took Helian Muzhen to the palace first.Xiao Shu'an was full of anger, but he couldn't vent it.Looking at the eyebrows in the mirror because of a crooked stroke, he looks fierce.

"Get up, wipe and paint again."

"No!" The servant girl breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the princess's face was so dark today, she thought that she would definitely be punished.

Yanxing Palace.

"Pay tribute to the barbarians! Lin Xiu, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard courage! How dare you agree to such a treaty privately, is it because I have given you too much power!" The contract signed by Hu Guo was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Let me explain slowly." Lin Xiu was in a panic. Why are both of them so irritable? Can you let her go back and get married?

"Say it! I'll see how you come back! If you can't convince me today, I'll pull you out and chop you up!" Xiao Jin said angrily without choosing words.

Lin Xiu rubbed her temples helplessly: "Your Majesty, do you know that the Zhou border has been harassed and plundered by barbarians year after year?"

"I know!" Xiao Jingong replied unhappily.

"Then, has Your Majesty calculated how much food and supplies the barbarians would steal from the border gates of Zhou State every year, and what kind of life the people there live?"

"Then there is no reason to pay tribute! Scholars can be killed and cannot be humiliated! Paying tribute is a shame. Do you know that I haven't paid tribute to any country in the 500 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How do you want me to face my ancestors in the future?"

"Is your face more important than the lives of the people at the border?" Lin Xiu also got angry, and went on a frantic journey for several days, one Helian Muzhen was enough to annoy her.Now Xiao Jingong is also angry at her.She has always been a rich second generation, she has never been subjected to this kind of anger, she has reached the limit of patience.At worst, let's destroy together!

"People-oriented, do you know? There is no population, how can we talk about development? Why is Zhao Guo rich and strong, because they have food to eat! Only when people survive can they reproduce, and only when there are people can they create more productivity!

The state of Zhou is not small. Have you ever wondered why the population is getting smaller every year?Have you gone to see how the people at the border pass live?After finally raising a son, he had to go to the battlefield for the country and die on the battlefield!The rest stayed at the border to be harassed by barbarians!

Most of the grain planted was handed over to the lord throughout the year, and part of it was robbed by the barbarians. What do they have left?Leftover wild vegetables?Or bark?When Man Rong is happy, he only grabs supplies, but when he is unhappy, he grabs a few women and goes back to be his wife!

This is the life of the people at the border of Zhou Kingdom!The country is incapable of guarding the border, they don't blame you!But why are you unwilling to exchange for five or ten years of peaceful life?

Just because of your face?The face of the country?hypocritical!Why don't you feel ashamed when the people are robbed and plundered?

A man can stretch and bend!Today you are weak, so what if you lower your head?What will Zhou Guoneng develop into in five or ten years?When you are strong, you will naturally have face, and if you are not strong, you will have face.You are desperate for face, and the people will suffer for you!An emperor who doesn't think about the people is not worthy of being an emperor! "

After Lin Xiu finished speaking in one breath, her throat became hoarse.She knows, she's done!Talking to an emperor like this in a feudal society is courting death.But whatever!She is fed up with whoever she loves.Whoever is not a temper tantrum, as far as the hypocrisy of the ancients who want to save face, she can't look down on her!

Lin Xiu grabbed the teapot on the table in front of Xiao Jingong, and poured water directly from the spout into his mouth.She's thirsty!She doesn't care what Xiao Jingong looks at her now, anyway, she is going to hack her to death, so it's better to have fun.

It's a pity, I thought that coming to ancient times would lead to great achievements.As a result, one country and two countries are like this bear!I thought Xiao Jingong was a wise king, saying that you can rest assured to reform, I will be your backing, saying that you will divide the land with the king, and the emperor's words are all farts!

When Xiao Jingong first heard Lin Xiu's words, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!When has anyone ever talked to him like this since he was born!Simply presumptuous!But Lin Xiu snorted recklessly, and later she listened seriously.

Then he felt that what Lin Xiu said made sense?Lin Xiuyue said that the more ashamed he felt.He has always believed that the image of the country is above all else, and that a country and an emperor must have dignity in order to be respected.But now he felt that such superficial dignity was nothing but hard work.

True strength can gain the respect of others.No matter how dignified he is, the barbarians are still harassing the frontier, and Zhao Guo is not attacking Zhou Guo.What kind of respect does that get?Lin Xiu was right, a man can stretch and bend.To be an emperor who truly considers the people is a good emperor.

The initial anger was gone, and I saw Lin Xiu's disrespectful disrespect.But he felt that he respected Lin Xiu even more, he never thought that a woman would have such courage.Alone in the barbarian army, if you can risk your life to agree to this kind of contract, aren't you afraid of being beheaded when you come back?

"Then why do you want to go south to become a horse farm for Man Rong?" Xiao Jingong asked lightly.

"Huh?" Lin Xiu was a little surprised, she had been recalling her past and present lives in her mind.I was thinking about how Xiao Jingong planned to kill her, whether to behead her with a knife, or to torture her to death like Ling Chi.

result······

The emperor is not angry?

Lin Xiu panicked!He would have died generously.Doesn't seem like he's going to die now?Then just now she drank water and sat on the floor with her legs crossed, doing some flirty maneuvers?

Lin Xiu quickly sat upright, and quickly wiped the water stains on the corners of her mouth and collar with her cuffs when she drank in Dongfang Bubai's posture just now.

Xiao Jingong quietly watched Lin Xiu's operation, and tried his best to restrain the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise.

"Horse raising, uh. The reason for raising horses is that I want to use their horses to breed our horses from the Zhou Kingdom. Your Majesty, you know that Manrong's horses are excellent, tall, mighty, and fast. If we can breed them secretly Breed horses like the Man Rong, and then slowly multiply and expand. In a few years, we will have many excellent stallions in the Zhou Kingdom!" Lin Xiu was acting very dog-legged at the moment, nodding and bowing when speaking.

"En." Xiao Jingong was very amazed at Lin Xiu's wit in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he pretended to be deep.Lin Xiu waited anxiously.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Lin Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Xiao Jingong was really anxious to see Lin Xiu, so he stopped teasing her. "Yes! You should go prepare to get married first, it's already time, wait for me to go to court to discuss with the ministers, and then sign the contract."

"That, Your Majesty." Lin Xiu hesitated to speak.

"Anything else?"

"Princess Hu, follow me. She is in the side hall now."

"Come here, what do you want?" Xiao Jingong was puzzled.

"I go out through this door today. If I don't sign the contract, she will cut off the minister's head."

"She dares!" Xiao Jingong angrily clapped the case!

"Your Majesty, she really dares. Barbarians are a bit..." Lin Xiu pointed to his head, "It doesn't look good here. Accept death. Even if I die together, she will kill me."

Xiao Jingong was amused by Lin Xiu: "Say she has a bad mind. I think she wants to chop off your head after hearing this!"

"Isn't this talking behind the scenes, I dare not say it in front of my face." Lin Xiu shrank her neck.

Xiao Jingong smiled helplessly: "Laifu! Bring my jade seal! Have you written the contract? Bring it and I will stamp it for you!"

"It's finished, it's written. I wrote it myself when I was in Man Rong." Lin Xiu hurriedly took out the signed contract that Man Rong had stamped in her arms and gave it to Xiao Jingong.

Xiao Jingong carefully checked it twice from beginning to end, and after confirming that it was correct.A jade seal was stamped at the end.Until this moment, Lin Xiucai asked:

"Your Majesty, you signed the contract without discussing it with the ministers. Will it be troublesome?"

"What's the trouble? I'll be nagged for a few days at most. I can even stand your scolding, so I'm still afraid of this?" Xiao Jingong smiled and dried the stamped seal.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Lin Xiu felt very embarrassed now, "I said something out of choice today, Your Majesty, you don't remember villains. You must be a good emperor!"

"Okay, hurry back and prepare to get married! I will go to the wedding banquet later!"

"No! I will leave!" Lin Xiu bowed and left happily.

"Take it! The contract! There are two copies! The other copy is left in Zhou Guo!" Lin Xiu proudly handed the stamped contract to Helian Muzhen.Those who have been oppressed along the way can be regarded as finding their place back!

Helian Muzhen opened the contract and checked it twice, and put it away after confirming that it was correct. "I didn't expect you to be trusted by the Emperor Zhou."

"What's wrong with me like this? With my appearance, not only is the emperor's trust, but I'm going to marry the princess soon! How about it?" When I got to my own territory, I was angry with Lin Xiu.

"The villain succeeds!" Helian Muzhen sarcastically said.

"What can you do to me!" Lin Xiu shook her head in front of Helian Muzhen meanly, and ran away after speaking.

"Hey! Do you want to come for a wedding?" Lin Xiu asked again after running a few meters away.

"Are you buying me a drink?" Helian Muzhen asked.

"Otherwise? Who else do you think will invite you? It's because of us traveling together and you sent me to Ganzhou safely. Treat you to a wedding wine!" Lin Xiu said nervously.

Helian Muzhen didn't reply.He only silently followed Lin Xiu's footsteps.Lin Xiu knew that this was a promise.

Lin Xiu was taken to the son-in-law's mansion by the palace guards.This is Lin Xiu's first visit to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

"Damn! This will be mine from now on?" Lin Xiu couldn't help sighing when she saw the Prince Consort's Mansion!The emperor is so kind to himself!Such a large house was given to himself.

Xiao Jiu has been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

"My lord, you are back. Go take a shower and change!" Xiao Jiu received the news of Lin Xiu's return an hour ago.The hot water had been boiled long ago, waiting for Lin Xiu to take a shower and change into the groom's clothes.She knew that Lin Xiu loved to be clean, and the first thing she did when she came back from a long trip was to take a shower.

"Okay! It's Xiaojiu who understands me." I haven't seen Xiaojiu for a long time, and now I still feel very kind. Lin Xiu said: "This is Princess Helian Muzhen from the Hu Kingdom. She will attend my wedding later. .You take it with you and arrange it."

"Ok!"

Helian Muzhen didn't speak, and followed Xiao Jiu away.

Lin Xiu walked towards the bathing pool, watching the people coming and going in the mansion, beaming with joy, and decorated with lights and festoons everywhere.It was really lively.

"Greetings to the son-in-law!" Every servant who saw Lin Xiu saluted and said hello.Lin Xiu didn't even know each other, "Okay, okay, okay. Just keep busy, don't worry about me."

After taking a bath, Lin Xiu came to the dressing table and waited for the servants to dress herself up in today's clothes.She saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry, sugar and fruit wine and so on on the table.

"Wow! Where did so many things come from?" Lin Xiu asked Xiao Jiu.

"This is from the emperor. I took a lot of it as a dowry before, but I can't fit it, so I put it here."

Wow!You don't even need to pay a dowry to get married, and the princess will bring a lot of dowry.Just do it yourself!Got beauties and gold and silver treasures!It's really a no-cost business, and I've made a lot of money!

Men's makeup is much simpler than women's.Soon Lin Xiu dressed up.The Xifu fits well, it seems that Xiao Shu'an has good eyesight.

"My son-in-law, it's almost time, let's go pick up the princess now." Xi Po said.

"Okay!" Lin Xiu didn't understand anything, just follow the instructions.

"By the way, where's Ah Zhong?" Lin Xiu thought of Lin Zhong only now.

"Azhong went to Taoxiang to look for you, but he missed you and came back again. But he has arrived just now, and he is taking a bath and changing clothes. The princess said that Azhong should be the man's relative when he pays homage to Gaotang."

"Oh, that's fine." Lin Xiu had no objection. Lin Zhong was indeed his elder brother. There was nothing wrong with the princess' arrangement.

Lin Xiu wore a bright red wedding dress, and went to the princess mansion to meet the princess in person in a black lacquered car.

When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, Lin Xiu handed the geese he had brought to Xi Po.Then go to the princess' boudoir to meet the princess.

Xiao Shu'an stood in the center of the room with his red hijab covered.For some reason, Lin Xiu was a little nervous.There were many people, and she didn't know whether to speak or not, so she simply remained silent.Stepping forward to hold Xiao Shu'an's hand, he felt that Xiao Shu'an's hand was a bit cold.She gently rubbed without any trace, and led Xiao Shu'an out of the princess mansion.

After sending Xiao Shu'an into the carriage, Lin Xiu was also about to climb into the carriage, but was stopped.

"My son-in-law, get in this car!" Xi Po hurriedly stopped Lin Xiu.

"Ah? Don't you take the same carriage?" Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an with some reluctance, but was dragged into another carriage by Xi Po: "You take this one. You have to go to the consort's mansion before the princess. Then meet the princess!"

"Oh, okay." Lin Xiu was very obedient.

The coachman hurried on, and soon arrived at the son-in-law's mansion.Lin Xiu got off the car and waited for Xiao Shuan.After a while, Xiao Shuan's carriage also arrived.

"My son-in-law, get the princess out of the carriage." Xi Po reminded.

"it is good."

When the carriage stopped, Lin Xiu turned her back to the carriage and pouted her buttocks.

"Young Master! Young Master! Hiss! Hiss!" Xiao Jiu whispered anxiously to Lin Xiu.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Lin Xiu pouted and raised her head and asked in a low voice.

"Get up! Stand up straight! Pick up the princess!" Xiao Jiu said anxiously.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and so was the boy who was about to set up the footstool.I don't understand what it means that the son-in-law is sticking his butt and preventing him from stepping on the footstool?

Xiao Jiu had no choice but to step forward and grab Lin Xiu to make room for her to set up a footstool for the boy.Xiao Shu'an in the carriage was helped by the servants to step on the footstool.

Lin Xiu quickly handed over her hand to support Xiao Shu'an.It turned out that there was no need to carry the bride. It was so embarrassing. She watched TV dramas and thought that the bride would be carried.

Finally, it went smoothly, and both Xi Po and Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Into the main hall.The master of ceremonies is ready.The queen mother, the emperor, and Lin Zhong were all sitting in the middle.Guests are watching on both sides.

Wait for Lin Xiu and Xiao Shuan to stand still.

"The auspicious time has come! The ceremony begins! The newlyweds bow to heaven and earth! Bye!"

Lin Xiu took Xiao Shuan's hand and bowed.

"Thanks to the work of the heavens, the union of the earth, the marriage of promotion and promotion, and the covenant of the white head! Let's go!"

"Once again to the high hall! Bye!"

Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an turned around, facing the queen mother, the emperor, and Lin Zhong.

Lin Zhong and Lin Xiu looked at each other, and they were very uncomfortable.Lin Zhong felt like sitting on pins and needles.Lin Xiu... I'm not used to bowing to Lin Zhong.But she couldn't help being entangled, and the two bowed obediently.

"Parents' kindness, love, thank parents for their birth and upbringing, and the beauty of marriage. Get up!"

"Husband and wife say goodbye! Bye!"

Lin Xiu and Xiao Shuan turned sideways, facing each other.Lin Xiu found out that Xiao Shu'an was a little bit taller than herself.

Xiao Shuan bowed, and Lin Xiu quickly followed.

"Respect each other like a guest, raise your eyebrows with respect, love for a hundred years, never leave! Let's go! Complete the ceremony! Send it to the bridal chamber!"

Lin Xiu didn't even know where the bedroom was.Knowing Lin Xiu's doubts, Xiao Jiu led the way and brought Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an to the door.

Lin Xiu pushed open the door, and led Xiao Shuan in again.Then he turned and closed the door.

"Huh!" It can be regarded as a sigh of relief!Although it was a play, Lin Xiu still took this wedding seriously, after all, it was about the face of the royal family.

"Let me lift the hijab for you." Lin Xiu lifted Xiao Shuan's hijab who was sitting on the bed.

I thought that the first time I saw Xiao Shu'an dressed up in women's clothing, I was already amazing, but I didn't expect that Lin Xiu's makeup would surprise Lin Xiu again.

"What?" Seeing Lin Xiu standing still, Xiao Shu'an asked in a low mood.

Lin Xiu didn't notice Xiao Shuan's emotions: "You are so beautiful!"

"Is Helian Muzhen beautiful?" Xiao Shuan asked coolly.

"Pfft!" Lin Xiu laughed, "Are you jealous?"

Xiao Shu'an gave Lin Xiu a blank look, and didn't want to talk to her.There is a suffocation in the stomach!She was sure that she was going for Lin Xiu.I am terrified for this person's safety.In the end, look at this man, he is not missing any arms or legs, his face is radiant, and he looks very good!

Back to Ganzhou, I didn't know to report safety, and I took that barbarian princess to the emperor's brother, but I didn't know what I did!Feeling like your feelings are in vain.You shouldn't worry about this kind of person!

"Come and drink at the Heyuan Bar!" Lin Xiu still knew the rules.Since it's a wedding, let's finish the ceremony.

Hejiu wine is a bitter gourd that is split in half and filled with wine, so that the wine inside is bitter.Newlyweds drink cups together, which means that the two will share joys and sorrows and become one.

Lin Xiu handed half of the bitter gourd to Xiao Shuan.Xiao Shu'an was in a stalemate for a few seconds, but still took it.The two drank with their arms crossed!

Lin Xiu took Xiao Shu'an's gourd scoop and put it on the table together, then sat down by the table.She looked at Xiao Shuan:

"What are you going to do now? Are the processes over?"

Xiao Shu'an looked at Lin Xiu with unfriendly eyes, as if saying 'you are an idiot'.

Lin Xiu: "Look at me like this. It's my first marriage! It's normal to not understand, okay?"

"It's not the second time either." Xiao Shuan choked back.

"..." Lin Xiu was speechless.

She also didn't know what happened to Xiao Shuan.It seems that I have not given myself a good face today.I didn't offend her.But she is not as gentle as when she went to Ganzhou!At that time, she would still prepare pumpkin pie for herself!What now?snort!

Lin Xiu turned her head awkwardly and said nothing.If one or two make her angry, life will be impossible!

"Take off the tassel on my head." Xiao Shuan said.

"Eagle? You have an eagle on your head?" Lin Xiu thought, the man sent the goose, so the woman wanted the eagle back!But it's too scary to tie an eagle to the head.

She cautiously stepped forward to observe Xiao Shu'an's head.

"How small is the eagle? Why can't I find it?" Lin Xiu asked in wonder.

"Here!" Xiao Shu'an pointed helplessly at a red string on the bun.

Lin Xiu found out that Xiao Shuan had tied this red rope when he went to Ganzhou before. "What's the point of this?" He asked if he didn't understand.

"The tassel is a token to determine the relationship between a man and a woman. After a woman is engaged, she uses it to bind her hair, and the groom unties it when she gets married."

"Ah? Then should I have given this to you in the first place!" Lin Xiu felt as if she hadn't done many things?

Xiao Shu'an glanced at Lin Xiu, but ignored her.She took out the scissors and cut off a strand of Lin Xiu's hair.Then cut out my own.The two strands of hair are then knotted, tied together, and placed in a cloth pouch.

Lin Xiu watched Xiao Shuan operate all these quietly, feeling very graceful and pleasing to the eye.

"Hold out your hand." Xiao Shuan said.

Lin Xiu stretched out her hand obediently.

"Palm up."

Lin Xiu obeyed obediently.

Xiao Shu'an stretched out his hand, palm down, and placed it on Lin Xiu's.The hands of the two are stuck together.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Xiu didn't speak.Xiao Shu'an was very helpless, so she had no choice but to speak first:

"Death and life are bound together, talk to Zicheng."

Lin Xiu stood blankly, seeing Xiao Shu'an staring at her, as if waiting for her to say something.But, she doesn't know!

"Hold the hand of the son, and grow old together with the son?"

Lin Xiu said bravely.She didn't know if she was right or not.

Fortunately, she was right.It's just that what she said was the oath that a bride should say, but what Xiao Shu'an said was the oath of the groom.

Xiao Shu'an turned around and put away the cloth bag, then lit all the red candles in the room. "You go out to entertain guests. Be careful not to get drunk and reveal your identity."

"okay."

Is the process over?Lin Xiu went out in a daze.

"Xiu'er, here." Lin Zhong saw Lin Xiu come out and handed her a pill.

"what?"

"Anti-alcoholic medicine."

The banquet is located in the southeast corner of the new house.Lin Xiu basically didn't know anyone here.Fortunately, the emperor saved face and did not leave. The queen mother has already gone back.With the emperor here, the ministers did not dare to embarrass Lin Xiu too much.If the emperor was not around, such a person with a different surname suddenly became a son-in-law, and he was promoted directly to the court lieutenant, who knows how much trouble he would face.

Lin Xiu toasted each table step by step.For those who know each other and do not know each other, everyone just talked about the situation and it passed.These guests also came here for the sake of the royal family.But there is such an exception.

"Yun Jian respects Lin Tingwei!" Chen Yunjian brought a bottle of wine to Lin Xiu.

"This is General Chen Yunjian. Prime Minister Chen's eldest son." Lai Fu was ordered by Xiao Jingong to introduce all the guests to Lin Xiu.It can be said to be very considerate.

Prime Minister Chen.Lin Xiu had an idea in her heart, the prime minister's son is a general, this is not a good thing!I don't know if father and son are of the same mind?

"You are welcome, General. It is a great honor for Lin Xiu to attend Lin Xiu's wedding banquet, General." Lin Xiu still said the polite words.

"That's self-knowledge. Shu An was indeed wronged when he married you. You are so weak, even weaker than a woman. I don't know what you will do to protect Shu An in the future?" Chen Yunjian held his breath after returning from Dongcheng.

He didn't expect that his cousin would get married after only going out for a month!He didn't even have time to express his feelings.He also didn't understand why the emperor betrothed Xiao Shu'an to an unknown person, even if he was Lin Xiu, so what?And why did the Queen Mother agree!

Chen Gu knew his son's depression, but he didn't care.He himself was not very supportive of his son marrying Xiao Shu'an.He preferred the daughter of King Liang.It's just that Chen Yunjian has always preferred Xiao Shu'an.

The lively wedding banquet suddenly became quiet.Chen Yunjian's words undoubtedly put Lin Xiu in a very awkward position.But no one would come out to persuade the fight, because everyone wanted to see Lin Xiu's jokes, and Chen Yunjian just expressed everyone's feelings.

Xiao Jingong naturally also noticed the situation of the banquet, but he did not intervene, he sat quietly.

"The general thinks that force can protect you?" Lin Xiu asked back.

"nature."

"Then I'm really curious about this battle between Zhou and Zhao. How did the general win the many with the few and the strong with the weak? Is it because you, general, are stronger than the generals of Zhao?" Lin Xiu took it calmly, not feeling the slightest bit Awkward.

"Victory with less depends on strategy!" Chen Yunjian said.

"Oh~ I don't know, whose scheme is it?" Lin Xiu smiled and waited for Chen Yunjian's answer.

Chen Yunjian blushed and was speechless.He squeezed the gold bottle hard with his hands.

Lin Xiu didn't care how ugly the general's face was, and continued: "Might is very important, but if you don't have brain power, you will only be a reckless man. Just like you, General, you have won Zhao Jun for the first time in so many years. This cup I respect the general with the wine, and congratulate the general on his triumphant return."

Lin Xiu drank the wine in one gulp, and went straight to the next table regardless of Chen Yunjian who was still angry.The faces of the onlookers were not very good-looking.It seems that this kid is a ruthless character, not easy to bully!

And throughout the second half, Lin Xiu was thinking: Why is he so hostile to me? It's not like he just disliked me.Hearing that she called Xiao Shu'an so intimately, could it be that he likes Xiao Shu'an?

God!Isn't this chaos/lun?Cousin?Lin Xiu really wanted to complain.

After all the toasts were finally finished, the guests and the host were not familiar with each other, so everyone dispersed and went back to their respective houses, and the emperor also left.Lin Xiu sent the emperor away, and immediately went back to the bedroom, wanting to ask Xiao Shuan about Chen Yunjian.But Xiao Shuan took the first step.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xiao Shuan said: "Xiao Jiu arranged the Princess Manrong you brought back to rest in the west wing."

During the toast, Lin Xiu saw Helian Muzhen and sat at the same table with Lin Zhong.Lin Xiu simply said hello and left, forgetting about this person.

"Oh well."

"You haven't explained why you brought her back." Xiao Shu'an started tonight's interrogation.

"This...it's a long story." Lin Xiu didn't want to say it, she had a premonition that this would be an unpleasant conversation.

"Then make a long story short." Xiao Shu'an went to the bottom of it.

"Okay." Lin Xiu had no choice but to tell Xiao Shu'an the whole story from beginning to end.This is the second time she has said it today.

Sure enough, it's not a family, and you don't enter a family.There was no difference between Xiao Shuan's and Xiao Jingong's reactions.

"How could you sign such a contract! It's a loss of power and humiliation to the country!" Xiao Shuan stood up angrily.

Lin Xiu rubbed her face helplessly, she was really tired.When will this matter end?

"You can think what you want. His Majesty has already stamped it. The contract is already with Helian Muzhen. It can't be changed."

"Unreasonable!" Xiao Shu'an blushed with anger. "I thought you were sacrificing yourself and forgetting yourself, but I have been worrying about you for so many days. But I didn't expect that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and exchanged the interests of my Zhou country for your own safety! I really regret that I invited you like this back then. people to assist Zhou Guo!"

"You think I signed this contract because I was greedy for life and afraid of death?" Lin Xiu asked calmly.

"Otherwise, what reason could there be? Not only did you sign such an unequal treaty, but you also brought that princess back. I think you are a subject of Manrong, not my Zhou Kingdom." The more Xiao Shuan spoke, the more excited he became. It has become outrageous.Perhaps it was the emotional backlog of so many days that made her a little out of control.

Lin Xiu sat quietly and said nothing.I don't know what to think.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Shu'an was aggressive.

"I'm thinking, Zhou Guo needs official documents or something to get married. Have the documents been prepared? Have they taken effect?" Lin Xiu said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shuan asked with a frown.

"It's not interesting? I'm so dirty. I'm not worthy of your Princess Zhou. If it doesn't take effect, everyone will break up tomorrow, which is easy and easy. If it takes effect, it will be a little troublesome, and we have to reconcile and leave. Some formalities. But you are Princess Zhou, so it must be very convenient for you to do everything, shouldn't it be difficult?" Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an with cold eyes and asked.

Xiao Shu'an stood there motionless.It seemed to be frozen, staring at Lin Xiu firmly.This man with strange eyes.It was the person she invited from the gate in the rain.

It is the person who can laugh and fight with Lin Zhong; it is the person who likes to eat pumpkin pie and often leaves scum on his mouth; it is the person who always likes to pretend to be inscrutable, but in fact he has no power to restrain the chicken; It was the one who went to the barbarians alone to rescue Xiaowen; it was also the one who signed the unreasonable treaty on his own initiative.

And this person, now looks at him with a strange, cold, sarcastic look.

Suddenly, a line of tears fell from the corner of Xiao Shu'an's eyes.It fell on Lin Xiu's toes and broke into several pieces.

Lin Xiu's hand holding the wine bottle tightened suddenly, as if her heart suddenly ached.

But none of them moved, that's all
