Afterwards, Zhiyi finished his meal, went to see Mrs. Zhou and his little nephew, chatted with Mrs. Liu and Zhiwei before heading back home.

On the carriage, Song Zhi suddenly spoke to her: "The man you are looking for today is Bai Ziheng?"

Zhiyi turned his head blankly, "Are you asking me?"

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Is there a third person in this carriage?"

Zhiyi let out an "oh".

It's really not Zhiyipi, it's really that the two of them basically don't communicate much, they always talk nonsense and just put on an air in front of outsiders.

"Well, yes, he is my cousin, what's the matter?" Zhiyi asked.

Song Zhi had a strange expression on his face, and he said, "He was conferred the title of Hanlin Bachelor by my imperial brother, and he didn't even take part in the scientific examination..."

Zhiyi interrupted him: "So what, my cousin is so talented that he is favored by His Majesty, otherwise what do you think?"

"If that's the case, then why didn't the emperor promote him this year." Song Zhi retorted her.

"Maybe His Majesty is just training him."

Song Zhi shook his head, "I don't think so."

Zhiyi was puzzled, and said, "Then what do you think is going on?"

Just as Song Zhi was about to say something, he paused for a moment, then held back: "Forget it, you don't need to know about this."

Originally, Zhiyi didn't want to ask more questions, but she turned her head and ignored him after a "cut".

After returning home, the two of them still cooperated with each other as before, but they just ignored each other.

Within a few days, a guest came to the palace. It was Song Hanzhen, the eldest princess whom Zhiyi hadn't seen for a long time.

"Princess, you haven't come to see me for a long time, and you didn't even come when I got married. Are you going to forget about me?" Zhiyi thought that she was deliberately avoiding her because of that incident that day, so he teased her road.

"I really don't like to hear what you say." Song Hanzhen rested his chin on one hand, watching her making tea for himself. "I'm not... well, Brother Huang insisted on finding me a son-in-law, saying that it's not good for me not to marry at my age. I'm also worrying about this these days."

Zhiyi asked: "You are as old as me, and you are not very old."

"But you... are married too." Song Hanzhen's voice gradually dropped.

Zhiyi thought she was worried about finding a son-in-law, so he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, you will find someone you like sooner or later."

Song Hanzhen raised his head and looked into her smiling eyes for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, the emperor will invite the sons of various families in the capital to play in Minglin Garden. In fact, he wants me to choose a son-in-law. Why don't you go with me tomorrow?" .”

"Huh? How can this work." Zhiyi shook his hand and said, "It was set up for you to find a son-in-law. Isn't it good for me to go?"

"It's okay, you can go, you can help me choose, so I know what to expect. I also told Brother Huang, and he agreed."

Zhiyi wanted to politely refuse, but seeing her pleading face, he had no choice but to agree.

Early the next morning, Zhiyi went to the palace according to what Song Hanzhen said, and someone took her to a pavilion in Minglin Garden. The maid opened the curtain, but there was no one inside. Zhiyi asked, "Where is your princess ah?"

"Princess, please wait a moment, the princess will be here in a while, please have some refreshments first."

Zhiyi nodded, and the maid went down, now it's the middle of winter, although coal is burning in the pavilion, Zhiyi still feels cold.

Qihe put the cloak she brought on Zhiyi, and added more coal to the stove.

Zhiyi thought tremblingly, in this cold weather, the emperor must be too anxious to find a brother-in-law.

After a while, the curtain in the pavilion was raised, and Song Hanzhen came in. "You have been waiting for a long time."

Zhiyi nodded, Song Hanzhen sat down next to her, Zhiyi asked: "Where are the children of those aristocratic families?"

Song Hanzhen's movements froze, and he said instead: "It's still ahead, you can accompany me to have a look later."

"Okay."

After sitting for a while, Zhiyi and Song Hanzhen got up and left.The wintersweet blooms in the garden are in full bloom. Zhiyi saw the beautiful flowers and asked Song Hanzhen, "Can I pick one?"

Song Hanzhen smiled, stretched out his hand to break off a branch for her, and said: "If you like it, you can come to me often, and I will show you every day."

Zhiyi took it, and the fragrance of plum blossoms lingered on the tip of her nose, it was really pleasant.

The two walked forward while chatting, and after a while, they heard the voice of someone talking, and it was the group of children from the aristocratic family who gathered there to chat.

When they saw Song Hanzhen, they all came over and cupped their hands, respectfully saying: "See the princess."

It was the first time for Zhiyi to see such a big scene, he was so surprised that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Song Hanzhen asked them to get up, and asked them to take them to a bigger pavilion, enough for them to sit down, and there was a pot of fire burning beside each table, Zhiyi suddenly felt a little hot.

Zhiyi sighed, even if the royal family is rich, it also has power.

Some of the sons and brothers at the banquet wanted to talk to Song Hanzhen, and their desire to be a son-in-law was really obvious; They just sat on their seats and asked the maid next to them to serve them tea and water like a master; some of them took a wait-and-see attitude, as if they didn't have much interest in the position of son-in-law, they just came to watch the show.

Song Hanzhen didn't say much to those who came up to talk to her, most of it was dealt with by the little maid next to her. Seeing that the little girl was young, she was quite tactful.

Zhiyi was idle by the side, just fiddled with the wintersweet branch, and from time to time, Qihe would fill her with water, and she would drink two mouthfuls, and then eat two mouthfuls of snacks.

At this time, a young master took out a small box and said to Song Hanzhen: "Princess, this is a box of incense I got from the land of Hannan. Look, I only have this box in my house, if the princess doesn't dislike it, please accept it."

As soon as the man opened the lid, the fragrance inside gushed out, Zhiyi was drinking tea, when he smelled the smell, he sneezed all of a sudden, the tea just happened to splash on the young man offering the incense.

Some tea was spilled on the incense, the young master looked at Zhiyi, and said angrily: "Who are you, you ruined the incense I dedicated to the princess, can you afford it?"

At this time, everyone in the seat looked at Zhiyi in front of him.

Upon hearing what he said, Qi He sternly said on the spot: "Presumptuous, you actually feel like talking to Princess Jiang Sheng like this."

When the man heard this, his expression immediately changed, "Princess..."

Zhiyi stopped Qihe, I really don't blame that person, Zhiyi didn't want to be so ostentatious when he went out today, so he asked Qihe to comb her an ordinary woman's hairstyle and wear an ordinary dress. It's normal not to recognize her in normal clothes.Zhiyi rubbed his nose, and said to the young master: "I'm really sorry, but your scent...it's really strong, my nose can't bear it."

Song Hanzhen turned around and asked her with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhiyi shook his head, but his nose was a little red and swollen from being rubbed by her, and his eye sockets were also red, as if tears were swirling faintly.

Zhiyi: Damn, I’m not allergic, am I?

Seeing her appearance, Song Hanzhen became anxious, took out a handkerchief and covered her nose, and said, "Don't rub it, use this to cover it first."

Zhiyi took her handkerchief, looked at Song Hanzhen as if he was going to hit that son-in-law next second, Zhiyi patted her arm and said, "Don't worry." She looked at the man, Dressed in brocade clothes, but his appearance is ordinary, and there is an air of wretchedness coming from who knows where.

Zhiyi stood up clutching his nose, walked in front of the young master, picked up the incense box in his hand with two fingers, shook his head regretfully and said: "Isn't it that such a good incense is not easy to use if it is poured with water, ouch, Don't be angry with me, since I married my lord, I really haven't used such a good incense, I really don't know the goods, so you should be more tolerant."

The man cupped his hands towards Zhiyi, and said listlessly: "My concubine dare not take this word."

"Well... who are you? Since you want to show off in front of the princess so much, how can you not report your name?" Zhiyi asked him.

Someone below burst into a "puchi" laugh, and the young master's face became even more embarrassing, he said: "This minister is Qin Yuexuan, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"So it's Mr. Qin's son." Zhiyi looked at the incense box and returned it to Qin Yuexuan. "I don't know if your fragrance is good or bad, but anyway, the princess grew up in the palace, so I haven't seen any good things, and the princess might not like your fragrance."

"You..." Qin Yuexuan just wanted to say something, but he was worried about Zhiyi's identity, so he didn't dare to say it.

"You what?" Zhiyi went back to sit on the seat, staring at him.

Qin Yuexuan turned around and looked at the people behind him, and found that everyone was basically looking at him as if they were watching a joke. His self-esteem was greatly hit, and he said to Zhiyi: "My concubine's words are too much. Although the things are small, they have a heart, so why bother?" What about insulting the minister?"

"Intention?" Zhiyi just wanted to put down the handkerchief to tease him, but he couldn't bear the smell of smelling his nose, so he had to keep covering it. "The whole house is full, which one can't give the princess a heart, what can you do, the princess wants to accept your heart?"

Qin Yuexuan wanted to say something else, but Zhiyi jumped ahead of him and said: "As Princess Jiang Sheng, I am also the princess' sister-in-law, and I also have the responsibility to choose a husband for the princess, like you, I don't think I may be able to treat the princess well. "

Qin Yuexuan's face was flushed by what she said, and it looked like he was about to explode, Song Hanzhen said: "Okay."

Qin Yuexuan was held back again.

Song Hanzhen stood up and walked out, Zhiyi didn't know why she did this, so he also stood up and followed.

The remaining group of people looked at each other, and Qin Yuexuan looked even more embarrassed.We all know that the princess has a domineering personality, and looking at it like this, it makes the princess unhappy.

Sure enough, after a while, the maid next to the princess came in and said: "The princess is not feeling well today, and I have treated you all badly. Someone will lead you out of the palace later, please wait a moment."
