get married first, fall in love later

It was night, Qian Xiaobao called Wuying and Qing Xiao into the room, and the four of them sat around the table, staring at the wedding invitation for a long time. It was Ouyang Xi who bit the sour plum first and asked, "Will Li Zirong marry you?" Mu Huaijun, what about Mo Xue? Could it be that the wedding invitation was accidentally written wrong?"

Fortunately, the people around said that Mu Huaijun was the princess of the dynasty, if it wasn't true, who would have the guts to lie about her marriage?

Ouyang Xi naturally understood this truth in his heart, but after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a result, so he said something nonsense.

"Maybe marrying two? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a nobleman like Li Zirong." After Jiang Qingxiao finished speaking, she casually picked up a plum from the plate in front of Ouyang Xi and threw it into the entrance. However, it only took a second to spit it out with a bitter face.

"Bah bah," spit two mouthfuls of saliva, she took the tea cup handed over by Wuying and drank for a while, then raised her finger to Ouyang Xi and frowned and asked, "You, you are not really pregnant, and you really eat this sour tea?" Toy?"

"What do you know?" Ouyang Xi calmly reached out to take another one, chewed and swallowed slowly, looked up at her and said, "Do you know if you have to do a full set of acting, who knows what you can't do well? People have caught the handle. Besides, this food is quite delicious if eaten too much."

Jiang Qingxiao watched in disbelief as she threw them into her mouth one by one like jelly beans, just watching like this, sour water gushed out of her mouth.After seeing the end, she secretly came to a conclusion in her heart: Ouyang Xi must not be an ordinary person!

Qian Xiaobao kept frowning and thinking about his own thoughts, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.Ouyang Xi called her and asked, "Xiaobao, what are you thinking?"

"I always think it's not easy."

Ouyang Xi looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Even if this is true, it is very likely that Li Zirong wanted to enjoy the blessings of being equal and married Mo Xue and Mu Huaijun at the same time. Although it is a bit unfair to Mo Xue, it can It's not bad to be on an equal footing with the princess, but ordinary people can't enjoy it, so you just want to open it."

Qian Xiaobao shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"Ah?" Ouyang Xi looked at her puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Last year, Mo Xue wrote to say that she was preparing for the wedding, but she has not sent a wedding invitation until now. Let alone whether Huai Jun likes Li Zirong, based on what I have known about her over the years, she will never be in love with her for a long time. A foot in the middle of the two."

Ouyang Xi looked at her fixedly: "So?"

Qian Xiaobao got up and paced around the room thinking, and replied after a while: "Unless, she just wants me to see that this matter is strange, so as to give us some warnings. Even, this wedding was not of her own will. Both of them were coerced!"

"Coercion?" The other three people in the room were all surprised when they heard the words, and Ouyang Xi directly thought of a possibility: "She is the princess of the dynasty, so the only one who can coerce her is her brother Mu Huaijin, right?"

Although Huai Jun and Huai Jin are brothers and sisters connected by blood, the family relationship within the palace walls has been weak since ancient times, not to mention that they are not siblings of the same mother.If Mu Huaijin inadvertently found out that his imperial sister actually had the intention of treason, it is possible to directly order her to be killed, let alone just coercing her?

Thinking of this, Qian Xiaobao frowned even tighter: What is the purpose of going to such great lengths to force her to hold a wedding?

"What do you mean by being a good brother and forcing your sister to marry someone she doesn't like? They are the royal family, so they shouldn't need to use political marriages to improve or stabilize their status? It's not like someone is going to rob him Throne."

"Who says no one is robbing the throne?" Qian Xiaobao said with a clear face, "This wedding is supposed to be held for this purpose."

"Ah?" Ouyang Xi was at a loss: "Why?"

Qian Xiaobao briefly explained to several people that Mu Huaijun came to her to plan a rebellion.Then he said: "Mu Huaijun is a woman, even if the rebellion is successful, she will not be able to take the throne. She can't, but there is one person who can, and that is her younger brother Yuwang Mu Huaiyu."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xi immediately became enlightened: "So, is it because the emperor forced Mu Huaijun to hold this wedding to lure her brother to kill him?"

Qian Xiaobao nodded: "It's possible."

"Then what do we do?"

Qian Xiaobao, a wolf, Ao Cai, a fan, a brother, a donkey, a donkey, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a man, a woman !

All three nodded in agreement, and Wuying asked, "When are you leaving?"

"It's just two days. Tomorrow, you should prepare first."

Wuying nodded in response, then turned to Ouyang Xi and asked, "Young Mistress, can you accompany me?"

"As you go, of course I will." Ouyang Xi hurriedly replied to her.

Just kidding, if they all left, leaving her alone at home would suffocate to death.

"But..." Jiang Qingxiao pointed to her "belly" that was still tied to her abdomen, and asked suspiciously: "I'm afraid the old lady won't agree?"

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xi's originally cheerful face drooped immediately: "Qing Xiao is right, grandma will definitely not allow me to go out." She turned to Qian Xiaobao and begged: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, hurry up!" Figure out a way."

"It's fine if you don't go, you eat and drink at home and have a group of people take care of you all day long, but you don't get this kind of treatment when you go out." Qian Xiaobao looked at her with a smirk on his face: "It's better to stay at home, my lady, to raise her peace of mind." Tire is ready."

"Qian Xiaobao!" Ouyang Xi's almond-shaped eyes widened, his brows were tightly frowned into a word "Chuan", and he pointed his index finger at the tip of Qian Xiaobao's nose and said indignantly, "Isn't it because of you that I am doing this now? I am treated like a prisoner every day." Look at it, it’s fine to feed like a pig, now you all go out to play and don’t take me, do you still have a little conscience?”

Well, look at her face full of righteous indignation, like I'm guilty of not taking her out.

Qian Xiaobao snickered in his heart, and directly compromised: "Okay, tomorrow I will tell grandma that you are tired of staying in this mansion recently, and you are bored, so I will take you to the manor built on the mountain according to the doctor's suggestion. It’s good to live in a small and medium school for a while.”

"The manor built on the mountain? Where is it?"

Qian Xiaobao glanced at her speechlessly: "Isn't it Wang Hu's side? Now the building looks decent. They have been dealing with Steward Qian for a long time, and everyone in the mansion knows that I bought such a place. It is euphemistically called 'the manor built on the hill'."

Jiang Qingxiao immediately clapped her hands happily when she heard the words: "I've also heard it from people in your mansion here, why don't we go for a stroll on the way to the capital?"

Ouyang Xi's face was full of confusion: "Everyone in the house knows about it? Why haven't I heard of it." Jiang Qingxiao, a guest, knew about it, why didn't she, a dignified hostess, know about it.

You have been kept in captivity like a pig for more than half a year, and you rarely even have the chance to go out of the house, so how can you hear these news?The three of them complained silently in their hearts, but they collectively chose to keep silent.

Hearing that Ouyang Xi was going to raise a baby outside, Mrs. Qian disagreed at first, but after Dr. Wu embellished and listed some complications caused by depression in pregnant women and the adverse effects on the fetus, the old lady was so scared that she ordered it on the spot. nod.

Therefore, Qian San drove the most luxurious and comfortable Qian Mansion. I am afraid that there is no second oversized carriage in the whole country. Qian Xiaobao and Ouyang Xi lay comfortably on the soft bed in the carriage. , went out towards the capital.

It was inevitable that when the old lady suddenly sent someone to ask questions, they passed through the mountain where Wang Hu was, so they went up to make a confession in advance.Wang Hu's family lived very comfortably on the mountain this year. Even his son, Xiao Huzi, who looked like a little radish at the time, has now been raised to be fat and chubby. place.

At lunch, he nestled in his mother's arms and heard that these beautiful brothers and sisters in front of him were going to a particularly interesting place, so he whispered that he wanted to go too. Open your mouth and stop it.

"The carriage I took this time is big enough, so it's no problem to bring your family along."

Wang Hu felt a little flattered when he heard the words. Although ordinary people like them often yearn for the bustling capital city, they never dared to think that one day they would really be able to go there.So after everyone had lunch, he briefly explained the affairs of the manor, and then he rode his own horse and set off behind Qian Xiaobao's carriage.

The crowd was really lively, and there was an innocent child, the laughter in the carriage did not stop along the way, and the time seemed to pass much faster.

When the group arrived in the capital, there were still two days before the wedding. They did not go directly to General Li's mansion to inquire about the situation, nor did Qian Xiaobao contact Mu Huaijun in advance.

Everyone was going to go back to Qian Xiaobao's house in the capital first, and take a brief rest.

Taohua knew that they were coming, so she waited outside the gate early on. When she saw Ouyang Xi, she jumped up happily and hugged her. She still complained about why she didn't take her with her when she left Go together.

Now that Mo Xue was married, Ouyang Xi and Qian Xiaobao didn't have a maid they were used to for a while, so they immediately reassured them that they would take her with them when they went back this time, and then coaxed her back to the courtyard to tidy up.

After lunch, the exhausted people went back to their rooms to rest.Qian Xiaobao called Qian Si into the room, and asked, "Have you received any letters from the General's Mansion or the Princess Mansion in the past few days?"

Qian Si shook his head upon hearing this.

"Then is there any information about this wedding in the information you have collected?"

Qian Si shook his head again.

"Know nothing?"

This time, Qian Si finally nodded.
